Chapter 1157


    Just as the words left his mouth, Theo walked out of the vi.


    He was d in a ck suit, carried himself in an imposing manner, and nced indifferently at me


    before quickly getting into the car.


    It was hard to hail a cab around here, and with the resort being so far away from here, even if I


    managed to get a cab, the driver might not want to take me there either.


    I knew that I shouldn’t be stubborn during emergency times like this, so I looked at Keith and said,


    "Thanks."


    Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    You''re wee, Mrs. Grant.


    I waited at the gate. When Keith drove the car out from the next door, I opened the front passenger


    door.


    Seeing a lot of items ced on the seat, Keith said a little awkwardly, "Why don''t you sit at the back,


    Mrs. Grant? We have a lot more files these days and they can''t fit i n the trunk. That''s why they''re


    all ced o n the front seat."


    I nodded. "Sure."


    Although it was awkward to be with Theo a t the back, there was no other way.


    When the car started, Keith probably felt that it was too quiet in the car and wanted t o liven the


    mood up a little. Hence, he started talking to me. "Mrs. Grant, do you know that things have gone


    missing in the research institute?"


    I nodded. "Gaily called me this morning


    and told me.


    Perhaps only Elena and her team knew how much loss would be incurred after the high-tech


    equipment was stolen.


    I looked at Keith and asked, "Ms. Mandez will be going too, right?”


    “Yes, she’s the director of the development team and has to go there in person to inspect and check


    the inventory of the lost items. Those items were researched by her and her team for almost two


    years. They haven''t been perfected and replicated for the time being. They''ll probably be sad over


    this incident."


    I pursed my lips, not knowing what to say.


    The incident had already happened, and what we could do now was to go to the scene to take a


    look.


    Elena was already at the research institute when we arrived.


    She stood in the research institute looking at the broken equipment and research products with a


    pained expression.


    Jordan was speaking to the police. When h e saw that Theo had arrived, he hurried over to


    apologize. "I''m really sorry, Mr.


    Grant. I''ll offer you an exnation as soon a s I can."


    Theo nodded and swept his gaze around the research institute, asking, "Have you taken note of the


    missing items from the inventory?"


    Jordan shook his head. "Ms. Mandez is checking the inventory now."


    At this moment, Gaily trotted over with a guilty expression and reddened eyes. It seemed like she


    had just cried.
