Chapter 1159
Keith nodded. He took the documents from Elena's hands and turned around to leave.
Jordan looked atand said, "You'll be in charge of this."
He then looked at Cally and reminded her." You need to be constantly on your toes for this project from now on."
Cally and | nodded. When we saw him and Theo discussing the follow-up plans, Cally and | went into the research
institute to check the situation.
"The losses are at least hundreds of millions. | have no idea how much | have to pay for the final amount," Cally
said with a sigh.
After all, this incident was caused by personal negligence. According to the agreement, she had to bear 30
percent of the loss, while another 20 percent was to b e borne by the project leader. The remaining 50 percent
would be borne by the company.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBearing the losses for such a huge project required a lot of money, and the final draw was equivalent to not
getting a single penny. Those who were less optimistic might even suffer a mental breakdown.
I sighed gently. "Let's go in and take a look first. Right now, | hope that the police can find the culprits as soon as
possible and recover the stolen items so that we can reduce the losses as much as possible."
Lally nodded. "Hopefully, they'll find them soon.
After something like this happened, our workload was bound to increase. Everyone worked till late at night
without breaks in between. When the damage report cout, we had a meeting in the office.
Keith gave a copy of the report to everybody present. "This is the damage report. Please have a look."
Lally only cared about the losses incurred and flipped straight to the last page. Her gaze fell on the string of
numbers and gasped. "500 million?"
Keith looked at her and said blandly, "Most of what was taken away from the institute are core technologies. We
can't rule out the possibility that the other party is here for our R&D technology and may release these smart
products themselves. The conservative estimation of our initial investment and later gains will amount to this
figure.
"If the criminals sell our R&D technology to other companies, then Grant Corporation's efforts in intelligence for
the past two years will be all for naught."
Elena said, sounding a little sarcastic, "You don’t know anything about this field, Ms. Cally. That's why you didn't
know how big o f a loss this would be, right? | believe you know how much debt you'll ultimately have to bear. |
hope you can afford to pay the compensation."
All color drained from Cally’s face. This meant that her hard work over the years had gone up in flames.
Jordan scanned through the damage report and said, "Since the amount of damages has been calculated, I'll
make an appointment with a lawyer to get this matter taken care of as soon as possible." Elena looked atand
said a little sarcastically, "You agreed so readily, Mr. Fredericks.”
| was in no mood to entertain her. After the meeting, | followed Theo straight away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLittle did | expect Elena to deliberately tripwhen | passed by her side.
Fortunately, Theo was near toand | fell onto him instead of falling to the floor.
It was hard not to feel awkward when so many people were around.
After standing firmly, | quickly apologized.' I'm sorry, Mr. Grant."
Theo glanced at Elena with a slightly grim gaze.
Elena shuddered and quickly lowered her head before standing up to leave.
When she had left the conference room, Theo asked blandly, "How can | help you?”
“Are you free now? | need to talk to you about something," | said, my breathing a little unstable.
"Sure."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the conference room.
| followed behind him, and when there was no one around us, | said, "The lost items have not been found and the
police are still investigating. Can we talk about the compensation after the police give us the final report?"

Theo did not reply and continued walking forward.
