Tiffany was likely very similar to the lady who developed the UN2 combat drone.
Jason said nothing further upon seeing the situation. He opened his WhatsApp instead and started scrolling subconsciously until he saw his chat with Evelyn.
He wanted to ask her about it, but felt it was too abrupt.
After he gave it some thought, Jason looked up another contact and sent a message. "I previously shared your contact with a… friend. Have you replied to her?" he texted.
It took a while before Harry replied, "The contact with 'Evelyn' as its display name? I've turned her down. I'll be quite busy these days. Are you guys very close?"
Jason frowned.
Harry had turned Evelyn down, so he could not use this topic to ask Evelyn about the details anymore.
"How about I try to rearrange my time? Though, she didn't pester me after I rejected her. She's quite good-mannered," Harry texted.
Jason stroked his phone. He figured that Evelyn probably had other arrangements. "Let's talk about it later," he texted back.
…
Flying Seal Group received a reply from TechNova Group in the morning of the following day.
Tiffany had voluntarily left the project. Jacob and the others would be in charge instead. Jacob practically pulled an all-nighter and came up with various types of solutions to the questions raised yesterday.
Sebastian was quite surprised. "With how protective your ex-husband was of his precious darling, I thought he would protect Tiffany even if it meant terminating our collaboration," said Sebastian.
Evelyn was indifferent about it.
She said matter-of-factly, "Lucas has always been very sensible when it comes to business decisions. He knows better than anyone how beneficial our current project would be in the long run."
Sebastian poured Evelyn a glass of water. "Tiffany is quite smart herself. This is the most decent way to resolve this. Leaving the project herself is better than being kicked out."
