StarNovelChapter 1226
Shannon nodded her head. "Okay."
When she went to lie down on the bed, | went back to the bathroom and continued to wash up.
After washing up, | went out to work.
The investigation into the robbery at the institute had been carried out for many days now but saw no
substantial progress. Jordan did not want to rely on others, so he contacted his own people to carry out the
investigation.
Theo carried out the project as usual. He was prepared to face the upcoming challenges as well.
Zedd had brought sequipment when he cover this time.
The employees in the institute were installing the equipment, and Elena was guiding them on how to place it.
Seeing me, she glanced atwith a face full of contempt but did not say anything.
| did not know these things, so | could only stand on the sidelines to handle other odd jobs.
The research institute was not fully renovated before this, but now, it was nearly done.

Jordan walked in to say a few words to Elena before going out to lead two workers inside.
The two carried a somewhat large machine and put it on the spot Elena pointed out.
I was a little curious, so | walked over to take a look.
The machine was not connected yet, so | did not know what it was.
"This machine is used to calculate the lifespan of a product.”
A man's voice rang out behind me. | looked back and saw that it was Keith.
"Calculate the lifespan of a product?” | was shocked. "That's pretty awesome."
Keith nodded. "Smart production costs a lot and sells at a high price, so we have to increase the product lifespan
as much as possible, unlike small and medium-sized enterprises that don’t operate on such a large scale.”
| stroked my chin. "This machine was smashed by the culprit previously, right?"
Keith nodded. "They smashed those they couldn't take with them, and that’s why the project was forced to stop.
Now, the equipment is being brought in batch by batch. It shouldn't be a problem to restart the project again."
Actually, the equipment's destruction was no big deal as one could just spend money and replace it. The worst
was having the technology stolen. If the culprit sold the technology to other companies, then Grant Corporation's
loss would be massive.
"Excuse me."
There was a commotion behind us.
In order to make way for others, | moved to the left but accidentally hit the machine.
The machine tilted backward and hit the wall.
It all happened so abruptly that no one had tto react.
| did not expect the machine to fall as soon as it was touched. Fortunately, the machine was not too far from the
wall and was not damaged. Only the top corner was dented because it was knocked
on.
| felt my head hurt. "Is this going to affect its function?"
Keith was just about to speak when Elena stomped over. "You must have done it on purpose, Wanda Lane! Why
do bad things happen wherever you go?"
Me,
Elena looked at the employees. "Hold the machine securely. Check the damage."

She looked unkindly atafter saying that. "Do you know how expensive this machine is? And how hard it was
to get our hands on it? Don't you know that?" This was due to my carelessness, so | lowered my head to
apologize. "I'm sorry. | didn't do it on purpose and will be responsible for the damages."
Elena sneered. "It sure isn't the swhen you have a man to rely on. All you have to do is say that you'll be
responsible for your mistake and that's the end of that."
| was a little speechless.
What else should | do if not take responsibility after making a mistake?
In fact, | knew Elena hated me, so she was not going to let go of the opportunity now that | had done something
wrong. She would find fault in whatever | said.
"What do you want, then?" | mildly asked.
Elena said in a cold voice, "Apologize to me.
"| already did."
"You need to be a little more sincere."
Seeing how unreasonable Elena was, Keith said with a frown, "I think the most important thing for you to do now
is conduct a detailed check on this machine to see if it’s still usable, Ms. Mandez. Other things are not within «
your scope of responsibility."
