Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1935

Luke stared at the laptop screen and said, “Dr. Albus, can you prove that you did the research yourself?”

Dr. Albus handed the papers in his hands to Luke and replied, “Of course. Boss, I’m pretty certain about this. And I have evidence too. I made several mistakes before I managed to complete this research. Besides, our company has an incentive program. I wouldn’t have to go through all those things if I really bought the research from someone else. And I would have also just launched the product before the other party did.”

“Then it must be someone in the company who sold the confidential information," Luke concluded.

“Boss, someone must have stolen my confidential information and sold it to the other party. They beat us to it by forging the trial data and results, then they applied for the product launching. Boss, you must find out the truth!” Dr. Albus went along with Luke. He had not been able to eat or sleep from the day his application for the product launch and patent was rejected. He had been asking people to find out what happened. He would not stop until the truth came out.

Luke did not say anything. He was tapping on the meeting desk with his index finger.

Dr. Albus glanced at Dr. Feron, who was a close friend of his. Then, Dr. Albus gave Dr. Feron a meaningful glance, asking him to speak up for him.

Dr. Feron did not want to get involved in this. However, Dr. Feron had benefited greatly from Dr. Albus in the past. He had no choice but to stand up and speak up for Dr. Albus. "Boss, Dr. Albus is right. Not only do we need to find out who’s behind this, but we'll also have to handle the PR crisis as well. The best way is to ask for Dr. Craw's help to speed up the research and apply for the product launch."

Dr. Albus previously held a one-hour press conference before the research was ready to be launched in the market. It was the first drug by Watson Biopharmaceuticals to launch on the market. Hence, the reporters had all written articles about it.

Now, not only were they facing internal problems, but they had to handle external issues as well.

Luke swept his piercing gaze across everyone in the meeting room when Dr. Feron mentioned Luca’s name.

They lowered their heads whenever Luke’s gaze fell on them, not daring to say another word.

“Dr. Craw is helping me to work on the project now. And all of you want Dr. Craw to bear the responsibility and help you to clean up the mess you’ve made?” Luke questioned.

The professors noticed that something was wrong with Luke's words.

Luke was saying that it was a mess they had made instead of Dr. Albus’ mess alone…

That would mean Luke was not planning to let a specific research team bear the responsibility for this matter alone. All of them would be involved…

The manager was shocked to hear this. “Boss, how could you say that? Isn’t Dr. Albus’ research team responsible for this matter?”

“Those who have access to enter the labs in this company are suspects,” said Luke.

The manager glanced at the others. They were either shocked or showing looks of disapproval, but no one dared to say a word.

Since the professors dared not say anything, then he was the only person left. "Boss, the research information was kept by Dr. Albus and his team members. If I had to make a guess—”

“Everyone has to be placed under investigation,” Luke interrupted him.

Investigating everyone in the company was the most efficient way. After all, anyone could have stolen the information.

Everyone fell silent, while the manager cried out bitterly in his heart. This meant that their workload would increase a lot in the near future.

After all, other than checking the surveillance footage, everyone’s recent whereabouts had to be investigated. That was how they could prove a person’s innocence—or guilt.

The research department alone had more than ten employees, and there were also other employees working in other departments who had access to the research department. According to what Luke said, these people would be placed under investigation too.

Dr. Albus took a deep breath and mustered his courage to ask, “Dr. Craw also participated in my research. Does she need to be investigated too?”

The way Luke looked at Dr. Albus grew colder. Luke fell silent for a few seconds and eventually said, “All those involved have to be placed under investigation.”

Jason’s phone vibrated in his pocket.

Jason took his phone out and glanced at it. It was a message from Gale.

Jason bent down and whispered in Luke's ear to remind him, "Boss, Gale is already downstairs. He doesn't have the permission to come in."
