Chapter 87


    "Professor Muller…" Joaquin furrowed his brows as he looked at Theodore. Just as Joaquin was about


    to ask Theodore something, Theodore''s phone rang. After answering the phone, he frowned as he


    reminded Beatrice to cooperate and to receive the treatment. He then left hurriedly without speaking to


    Joaquin.


    Beatrice red at Theodore hatefully as she was furious at him for taking Katherine''s side even when


    she was badly injured. What''s so good about her? Why is everyone around me taking her side?


    The jealous Beatrice pretended to groan in pain when she saw the distracted Joaquin. Hearing that, he


    snapped out of his daze and turned over to look at her. As he looked at her painful expression, he


    thought that her condition had worsened and immediately pressed the call button. Soon, Wesley was


    seen rushing into the room.


    Seeing that, Beatrice hated how Joaquin started caring less about her ever since he was engaged to


    Katherine. She was mad at him for not making Katherinee over to treat her injury when she was


    badly wounded. She really couldn''t fathom what went wrong as she had nned meticulously to fake


    the car crash, but in the end, the car crash happened, rendering her badly injured. The thought of it


    made her blood boil.


    "Johdy…" She was interrupted by his phone''s ringtone. With that, he took his phone out, and his


    expression changed the moment he looked at it. He turned around and greeted Wesley before leaving


    the room without hearing what she wanted to say.


    "Johdy…" She was stunned and looked at him with disbelief, as she couldn''t believe that he had


    actually left her alone when she was already badly injured.


    She became hysterical and started screaming while throwing a pillow at Welsey, who was checking her


    injury. "Get out! I don''t need you to pretend like you care, and I don''t need you to treat me! Get out


    now!"


    Wesley, whose head was hit by the pillow, frowned and was irritated as he looked at her grimace. He


    nced at her coldly before leaving hurriedly with her medical chart in hand. Beatrice, who was left


    alone in the room, was hysterical and threw a tantrum as she couldn''t feel her lower body. She was


    anxious and mad because Theodore refused to help her.


    On the other hand, Theodore headed straight to the research institute after leaving the hospital.


    Unfortunately, he bumped into Katherine at the entrance, and both of them seemed glum.


    "Kathy, I…" he muttered. The leakage of experimental data this time round was a serious blow to them


    as originally, they were preparing to have their research patented, especially the experimental medicine


    that they were working on this time round. However, they did not expect that something as horrible as a


    data leakage would happen.


    "It''s not really your fault, so you don''t have to apologize to me first. What''s the current situation?"


    Katherine asked as she pressed on her forehead.


    "This time around, the leaked data was obtained by SQ Laboratory in Somar, and they have been


    researching that particr reagent as well. They managed to get their hands on all of our experimental


    data and samples of our reagent. I''m afraid…" Theodore seemed worried.


    "Samples of the reagent?" Katherine stopped walking.


    "It''s my fault." Theodore apologized.


    Katherine took a deep breath before both of them entered the meeting room. All of the researchers who


    participated in the experimental drug test were present. All of them had their heads down and had


    guilty looks on their faces.


    After taking a seat, Katherine went straight to the point and asked, "Can someone exin why there is


    data leakage? And how did they get their hands on the reagent?"


    The Sa-1 reagent was provided by Laboratory 3 in Fontan, and all of the quantities were strictly


    controlled. On top of that, Theodore had also imposed strict control whereby it would only be retrieved


    if they had to use it on their patients. However, this was a severe incident as their samples were


    handed over to theirpetitor. Everyone in the room looked at each other without speaking a word,


    and no one admitted to the mistake.


    Katherine waited calmly for an answer while taking her phone apart and assembling it into a


    micrputer. She was retrieving the data and surveince records in front of everyone. While waiting


    for the results, she lifted her gaze and looked at them. "We will give you a chance if you voluntarily


    admit to it. But if I was the one who found out who did it, it would bring about great consequences."


    Katherine usually looked very easy-going and easy to get along with, but when she got serious, it made


    everyone shudder. Especially the daunting murderous aura that she exuded, which gave people


    goosebumps.


    "Miss Cornell, we really don''t know how it happened. We believe that none of us would leak the data


    intentionally." Dina got onto her feet and made ament that represented the feelings of everyone


    present.


    Hearing that, Katherine nced at her before looking at the progress of the data download, and it was


    already at 99%. The culprit would soon be revealed. Since no one admitted to it, she didn''t see the


    point of questioning them, as it would just be a waste of time without having the evidence on hand. The


    last 1% took around ten minutes to be downloaded, and after looking at the results, Katherine raised


    her brows surprisedly and looked over at Theodore. Based on the result that she had generated, it


    showed that both the data and the samples were Theodore''s doing.


    "All of you can leave now. Professor Muller, please stay back for a chat." Katherine swiftly


    disassembled the micrputer and assembled it back to a phone before cing it on the table.


    The other researchers stared at each other before leaving the meeting room. Theodore could tell that


    Katherine already knew who the culprit was from the looks on her face. Although it was all within his


    expectation, he felt suffocated.

    His face was pale as a sheet as he sat on the chair, and it took him a while to confess to her. "I think it


    is Beatrice. I never expected her to do something like that, but I expected as much when I received a


    phone call about the data leakage."


    "Nevermind. Actually, I amended the data that all of you had. It would be useless for them even though


    they managed to get a hold of it. As to the reagent, no one would be able to get it easily without my


    consent." She shook her head and stopped talking as she looked at the disappointed Theodore.


    Whether Beatrice was the one who did it or not didn''t matter anymore. Before this, Katherine had


    imnted the Trojan virus, which had a self-destruct program in everyone''sputer. Once the leaked


    data file was opened or duplicated, the self-destruction program would be activated. Not only will the


    original data be destroyed, but it will also destroy all the data on the other party''sputer.


    "Professor, you should arrange for Beatrice''s amputation soon." Katherine, who had walked over to the


    exit, suddenly paused her steps and reminded him.


    Hearing that, the weary Theodore nodded and made a call when he was out of the room after


    Katherine left.
