StarNovelChapter 1177
Elena coldly snorted. "Plain nonsense."
Lally frowned, looking even unhappier now.
Everyone knew about the fight between the three of us today, so they knew that Elena was mad and found Lally
andto be an eyesore.
| gently sighed and said, "We can't find the equipment that was stolen from the institute in such a short period of
time. When will Grant Corporation's new customized equipment as well as the new technological equipment for
temporary replacement be ready? These things are of utmost importance to keep the project going." Keith
nodded. "The arrangements are already being made, so don’t worry, Mrs.
Gra—Ms. Lane.”
Gaily could not help but laugh and said in a slightly teasing tone, "You've already gotten used to calling her that,
huh?”

Keith smiled a little embarrassedly." Indeed."
| cleared my throat and brushed my nose with my hand, saying, "Also, I've been having doubts about the
burglary at the research institute. Gaily isn't the person in charge of activating and deactivating the infrared
identification system. That was the only tshe forgot to activate the infrared identification system, so how did
the criminal happen to coincidentally act a t that time? Moreover, the person in charge of the institute merely
went to have something to eat and would have cback in no tat all, so unless the criminal acted as soon
as Cally left, they would absolutely not have the tto move the equipment."
| continued after a pause, "There are three possibilities. Firstly, the criminal may be a n outsider who had his
eyes on the research institute since the morning, so he had been watching nearby. Secondly, this criminal may
be our employee, and they clearly knew that Cally had forgotten to activate the infrared identification system.
Thirdly, our employee may have tipped off the criminal."
"From what you're saying, you suspect that there's a traitor among us?"
Elena looked atand sneered. "I agree with what you said. After all, it's difficult to guard against internal
traitors. There's no better thing in this world than to get something worth a few hundred million dollars overnight
as well as a man.”
Her words sounded both sarcastic and mean.
Cally took a deep breath and could not hold back anymore. She reprimanded Elena, " Who are you referring to,
Elena Mandez? You'd better watch that mouth of yours."
"Who else?" Elena snickered. "Whoever assumes and gets offended, of course."
"You!" Cally smacked the table and stood u P
Her temper was quick to rise. | quickly held her back and said to Elena, "I don’t think it's necessary to bring your
personal grudges into this, Ms. Mandez. There's no need to speak so sarcastically about others too. We'll bear
the necessary consequences, but before that, we need to consider how to continue the work at hand.
Theo, who had been remaining silent the whole time, tossed the documents in his hands on the conference
table. He said indifferently, "Let's talk about the solution."
Suddenly, everyone turned to look at me, waiting for what | would say next.

| pursed my lips. "The project must go on, and the burglary report has to cto a conclusion as soon as
possible. | suggest w e start by investigating internally first. It's definitely no coincidence for the burglary t o be
done so quickly, coupled with the malfunctioning of the surveillance cameras."
Keith frowned. "But we've investigated all internal staff members of the research institute. None of them are
suspicious."
| chuckled. "Will a culprit allow themselves to be found so easily? If the investigation isn't done with an
inquisitive attitude, then it can be easy to overlook important things."
Keith thought about it and said, "I'll talk to the police later."
"So, there’s no concrete solution, then?" Elena snickered. "After all is said and done, there's still—"
At this moment, someone knocked on the door and interrupted Elena.
Keith frowned and went to open the conference room door.
Krayden stood outside the door. He rushed i n and said toin a panic, "Ms. Lane, was the previous lady your «
friend? Something happened to her. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
