Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 403

Spencer stepped aside and called Damon, briefly explaining the situation before ending the call.

"Mr. Sumner has agreed to call the police," he informed after hanging up.

The police arrived promptly.

As Nyla and Melody gave their statements, Gabriel walked into the office. Upon seeing the police, his eyes widened, but he quickly masked his surprise.

"Nyla, Melody, what's going on?" he asked.

Spencer stepped forward and said, "Mr. Hackett, the experimental data from Ms. Jayston's project has been leaked. Have you noticed anyone suspicious entering or leaving the lab recently?"

Gabriel thought for a moment and shook his head. "No. It's usually just the three of us in the lab."

Spencer nodded. "Alright. You'll need to provide a statement as well."

After they finished their statements, two hours had passed. They were instructed not to return to the lab and to wait at home for the investigation results, remaining available for further police questioning.

As they left Prospectus Technology, Melody suggested they go out for a meal and review their recent experiments to determine when the data might have been leaked.

Nyla agreed, and Gabriel, being part of the lab, naturally joined them.

…

Once they were seated in a private room, Melody spoke first. "Nyla, I swear I didn't leak the company's data, and I believe you didn't either. I suspect someone is intentionally sabotaging us!"

Her voice was filled with frustration at being falsely accused.

Nyla's gaze flickered, and she replied quietly, "Yes. The key is figuring out how the data was leaked."

Contelligence's release of the experimental data, which closely matched her own work, had effectively rendered her previous progress useless. If the source of the leak wasn't identified, she would be held responsible.
