Spencer stepped aside and called Damon, briefly explaining the situation before ending the call.

“Mr. Summer has agreed to call the police,” he informed after hanging up.

The police arrived promptly.

A Nyla and Melody gave their statements, Gabriel walked into the office. Upon seeing the police, his eyes widened, but he quickly masked his surprise.

“Nyla, Melody, what’s going on?” he asked.

Spencer stepped forward and said, “Mr. Hackett, the experimental data from Ms. Jayston’s project has been leaked. Have you noticed anyone suspicious entering or leaving the lab recently?”

Gabriel thought for a moment and shook his head. “No, It’s usually just the three of us in the lab.”

Spencer nodded “Alright. You’ll need to provide a statement as well.”

After they finished their statements, two hours had passed. They were instructed not to return to the lab and to wait at home for the investigation results, remaining available for further police questioning.

As they left Prospectus Technology, Melody suggested they go out for a meal and review their recent experiments to determine when the data might have been leaked. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Nyla agreed, and Gabriel, being part of the lab, naturally joined them.

Once they were seated in a private room, Melody spoke first. “Nyla, I swear I didn’t leak the company’s data, and I believe you didn’t either. I suspect someone is intentionally sabotaging us!”

Her voice was filled with frustration at being falsely accused.

Nyla’s gaze flickered, and she replied quietly, “Yes. The key is figuring out how the data was leaked.” Contelligence’s release of the experimental data, which closely matched her own work, had effectively rendered her previous progress useless. If the source of the leak wasn’t identified, she would be held responsible.

No company would want a researcher known for leaking data, and this issue could even jeopardize her chances for further studies. She had to find the person responsible!

Gabriel quietly listened as Nyla and Melody discussed, though neither of them noticed the calculating and cold expression in his lowered eyes.

After everyone and the police had left, Spencer returned to report the progress at the CEO’s office in Prospectus Technology.

Damon’s expression remained indifferent as he listened. “The person who leaked the data definitely isn’t her”

Spencer thought Damon’s statement was overly definitive and couldn’t help but argue, “Mr. Sumner, the

final results aren’t in yet. Each of the three of them is still a suspect.”

“Go back to work and report any updates as soon as you have them,” Damon replied.

Spencer hesitated before asking, “Mr. Sumner, what if it turns out to be Ms. Jayston? What will you do then?”

“If it turns out to be her, I will take full responsibility for the consequences,” Damon answered. Spencer frowned but said nothing more and turned to leave.

After dinner, Nyla returned home, and it was already past 6:00 p.m. She took a bottle of cold water from the fridge and sat on the sofa, contemplating who might have leaked the data.

Aside from the three of them, other people at Prospectus Technology who had access to the experimental progress could also be suspects.

However, in terms of likelihood, they were the top suspects. After all, she and Melody were in the lab daily, while Gabriel worked in the office and could sometimes overhear their discussions about the Nyła trusted Melody, but Gabriel… Could he be the one who had leaked the data?

As she was deep in thought, the doorbell rang.
