Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2639

“Yes.” Rhett and the researchers left the office together.

Rhett did not return to the laboratory. He returned to his office instead.

Mo Stone noticed a group of people walking into Luca's office a moment ago. She could not help but ask with curiosity, "Mr. Link, what happened? Why did Dr. Craw and the other professors gather all their researchers and assistants in their respective offices?"

Luca was not the only one who did that in the whole building. That was why Mo Stone was curious about it.

“Do you know about Mr. Whitlock being a corporate spy?” asked Rhett. There was no need to conceal the matter. The company would announce it when the time came.

“He was a corporate spy?” Mo Stone widened her eyes. She never thought about it.

“Yes. Mr. Crawford told the professors. That’s why the professors gathered their researchers and assistants to ask them whether or not they’ve ever revealed confidential information to Mr. Whitlock,” added Rhett.

“That’s scary. The company has just started, and there was already a corporate spy among us.” Mo Stone adjusted her spectacles. She thought only big pharmaceutical companies had some espionage going on.

She did not expect a corporate spy to be sent here to steal classified information from a company that was only established less than a year ago.

Still, the company’s director was Luke Crawford.

It was an industry Luke had just gotten into. Even though it was still a small company, Luke was at the peak of his career now. He made a huge profit no matter what he invested in. There was no doubt that people would be green with envy.

“Yes. No one would have thought that either,” said Rhett.

He did not think there was anything wrong with it when Mr. Whitlock asked for the research data from Luca.

After all, Mr. Whitlock was the company’s leader. It was understandable that he was concerned with such matters.

Luca did not give him the information he requested at that time. Rhett could not understand why Luca was reluctant to do so. After that, Rhett started to know something was off when Mr. Whitlock urged Luca to hand in the data to him again and again.

Now that everything had come to light, Rhett thought it was fortunate that Luca had been careful at that time.

“So, your team…” Mo Stone looked at him.

“No one in our team has revealed anything.” Rhett shook his head.

"Didn't Mr. Whitlock personally talk to you before?" Mo Stone remembered that Mr. Whitlock had personally come down to look for Rhett at that time.

“Yes, but I didn’t tell him anything.” Rhett was being magnanimous. He told Luca about it before. That was why he was not afraid now. “Dr. Craw instructed us not to reveal the information to anyone. That’s why we didn’t hand in the document to him.”

“Dr. Craw has some extraordinary sense,” exclaimed Mo Stone. She would be in big trouble if she gave him the information.

Mo Stone asked another question with curiosity, “What does Mr. Crawford plan to do to those people who have revealed confidential information?”

“He might take urgent measures, but they won’t be held accountable for this as they didn’t know that Mr. Whitlock was a corporate spy. Mr. Crawford told us that he wouldn’t punish us because of this, but nothing like this should ever happen again,” answered Rhett. Even though the research data was classified, the company’s rules did not mention that no sharing was allowed between colleagues who worked in the same company.

“That’s fine, then,” muttered Mo Stone. Previously, Mr. Whitlock had told everyone that he had the right to manage the research funds distributed to every research team, hinting to the professors that they needed to build a good relationship with him.

At that time, some of the professors were close to Mr. Whitlock. Luca was the only one who dared to reject Mr. Whitlock’s request in front of the others.

Many thought that pissing Mr. Whitlock off would end badly for them.

Everyone in the company was talking about it when Luca rejected him.

What they talked about the most was that Luca had Luke’s support, which was why she was not afraid of Mr. Whitlock.

Who would have expected things to turn out this way?

No matter whether Luca had anyone supporting her or not, she saved the company a lot of trouble when she rejected Mr. Whitlock’s requests back then.

“You didn’t disclose any information to him, right?” Rhett suddenly thought that Mo Stone would sometimes come into contact with the team’s research documents.
