Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2537

What the general manager said got Rhett at a loss for words.

It was not about picking the right person or not. The research had only gone smoothly because of Luca and the research team's efforts.

The general manager noticed the subtle change in Rhett's expression. He cleared his throat and continued, “Since you’re always with Dr. Craw, you must have participated in the whole process of the research, right?”

“Yes.” Rhett nodded, waiting for his next sentence.

The general manager cleared his throat, lowered his voice, and said, "Then you must have seen all the research data?"

“General Manager?” Rhett pretended to be confused, but he knew what the general manager was up to.

The general manager smiled and replied, “Mr. Link, you’ve seen all the data, right?”

"Yes, but there's a large amount of data. I can't remember them all." Rhett had no choice but to nod and admit it. He was responsible for helping Luca to handle the data files. Hence, he had seen all the documents.

However, that did not mean Rhett could remember them all. Even if he could remember them, he had to say that he was not able to remember everything.

The general manager shot him a suspicious look and asked, “Can you try your best to recall them?”

“General Manager, why should I recall them? I can ask Dr. Craw for the information if you need it.” Rhett understood what the general manager meant. He wanted him to steal the documents for him.

However, Rhett was not going to do that.

The general manager misunderstood what Rhett meant and immediately replied, “Really? Can you help me get the information from Dr. Craw? Oh, but you can’t mention that it’s my orders.”

“No, General Manager. The information is only available to those working in the department. I’m sorry.” Rhett had to disappoint the general manager just when he was secretly rejoicing.

The general manager was dumbfounded.

After that, anger was written all over his face. “Rhett, I’m the general manager of this company. I can give you whatever you want, but at the same time, I can make you lose your job too.”

“Are you planning to fire me?” asked Rhett. Even if he were to be fired, he would not betray Luca.

Besides, Luca would stand up for him too.

"If you bring the document to me, not only will I not fire you but I’ll also give you a sum of money.” The general manager tried both the soft and hard approach. He refused to believe that a subordinate would be so loyal.

Rhett shook his head and replied, “Although I have no idea why you’d like to get your hands on those documents, you’ll have to discuss it with Dr. Craw first before you fire me. If Dr. Craw doesn’t agree to it, you can’t fire me either. As for money, I’m not short of it. I can learn more about what I’d like to learn by staying with Dr. Craw.”

“You’re not going to help me?” The general manager did not expect that his methods would not work on Rhett.

“I’m sorry, General Manager.” Rhett stood up. “If there’s nothing more, please excuse me. I’m leaving first.”

“You…” The general manager got terribly angry that his face reddened. Rhett, the person in front of him, was the one who helped Luca the most at work.

"I'll forget everything you said to me today once I walk out of this door. Of course, I'll also accept it if you decide to punish me." Rhett bowed to him, turned around, and left.

The general manager slammed the desk!

What Rhett said to him in the end deeply affected him.

There was nothing he could do to the employees in the research department, including researchers like Rhett. Even though he could use his rights, Luca would certainly stand up for such a loyal subordinate and mention Luke’s name. That would make him look insignificant as a general manager.

…

Luca got into Warren’s car and headed home.

Her phone vibrated for a while.

That look on Lanie's face was exactly like their father’s. He would make that icy cold expression whenever he wanted to throw a tantrum.

“How did you know Ms. Vivian had gone to see Mr. Gordan?” Lanie asked. They were not living in Crawford Manor anymore, so there were no maids and servants around to gossip about matters such as this.

Moreover, Aunt Neile and Vivian could not communicate with each other due to the language barrier. The adults would not tell Tommy about these things either. Hence, how did Tommy find out about it?

“I have my own intelligence network!” Tommy blinked as he refused to tell Lanie how he knew about it.

“Intelligence network?” Lanie raised his brows.

“Yes, Lanie. I’m telling the truth. Ms. Vivian and Mr. Gordan did meet today. Otherwise, Ms. Luca wouldn’t be so anxious.” Tommy raised his fingers and swore to Lanie. He really found out about it through his little intelligence network.

Lanie shook his head helplessly while he looked at his younger brother who had secretly created an ‘intelligence network’.

It seemed like Tommy was close to someone working in the company, and this employee must be working by their father’s side.

His job position must be high too.

Otherwise, how could they know about it?

“Fine.” Lanie gave up. Those people in the office would please Tommy only because he was their boss’ son.

It was up to them if they would like to indulge him, but they would not go along with Tommy and fool around.

“Lanie, you don’t believe that I have an intelligence network?” Tommy blinked his eyes. He could not help but ask Lanie when he showed no interest in it.

“I do, but even if I ask you about it, you won’t tell me anyway.” Lanie stroked Tommy’s head and went along with him.

“Of course! Intelligence networks are mysterious!” Tommy nodded vigorously.
