Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1399

"There will be another announcement at the conclusion of the investigation, right?" Luca did not say that she knew who was behind it. Instead, she only said that she was not curious.

She knew that curiosity killed the cat.

Jason smiled as he listened to her explanation. He came to her office to find out what she knew, but it seemed that he did not find anything interesting.

"You're right. We'll definitely publish the findings once the investigation is complete," he said.

Luca nodded. "Mm. That's why I don't need to make any baseless guesses now."

Jason smiled. He felt his phone vibrate, so he took it out and glanced at the screen. "Alright, Dr. Craw, I won't take up any more of your time."

"Take care." As Luca watched Jason leave, the smile on her face slowly disappeared.

He must have been testing her…

Luca closed the office door behind her and went to the laboratory to continue her research.

…

Back at Watson Biopharmaceuticals, Cole was exasperated when he read the announcement. The security guard that was caught was his cousin's son.

He did not expect that the security guard would break so easily under interrogation. Even though the security guard did not implicate him in the incident, he had a feeling that Jason would be knocking on his door very soon.

After all, they already knew that the security guard was his relative.

Cole kneaded his hands together worriedly. He thought of contacting the security guard, but the security guard was currently detained in the police station. Even if he were to visit him there, they would not have the chance to talk in private.

"How unlucky!" He cursed under his breath. He thought he could get rid of Luca, but instead, Luca had benefited from his ploy while he had to be kept on tenterhooks.

Cole waited for Talia to appear in his office, but she did not come. He dialed Talia's number on the internal line, but Mo picked up the call instead.

He frowned and asked sternly, "Ms. Stone, where is Talia Sullivan?"

"Ms. Sullivan said that she has an upset stomach, so she's in the washroom now. Are you looking for her? Should I go to the bathroom and let her know?" Mo sounded calm, as though she was concentrating on digging some new gossip.

Cole had rarely gone to the laboratory in the past two days. Instead, he had been brooding in his office. Talia did not go to the laboratory too, and she had often gone into Cole's office.

"It's fine. When she returns, tell her to come to my office," Cole said.

The entire Technical Department was busy at work, so that they could be the next one to move into T Corporation. Only Cole's team did not make any progress.

"Alright," Mo replied.

After she hung up, she sat on her chair and waited. Five minutes later, Talia came into the office with a pale face.

"What's wrong, Talia? You don't look too good," Mo asked out of concern.

Talia took a few deep breaths while gently grasping her chest. "I threw up in the toilet. I think it's because I ate something wrong this morning."

"You threw up?" Mo suddenly thought of something. She shot a glance at Talia's flat stomach. "We can't really say if it's serious, but you've not been feeling well for the past two days. Why don't you take the rest of the day off and pay a visit to the doctor?"

Talia shook her head. She could not afford to be away from the office at this critical juncture.

She was afraid that Cole might backstab her when she was not around…
