Chapter 521
Something must have happened, and Stephen was definitely lying!
"Then do you know that Irene was abducted for stealing Mead Clinic''s research data? Tell me-who did
you give it to?"
Isaac was doing all he could to restrain his temper.
Right now, what he must do was to get the full picture beforeing up with an idea to rescue
Irene.He would have flipped out in an instant because Stephen was being secretive, but he ultimately
managed to stay calm.
"What?!" Stephen eximed in surprise. "That''s impossible-the agreement was for Hotmesh Research
to keep the data and develop a working prototype for the fully artificial
heart in secret before announcing it nationally-"
"Did you know that they already announced it?” Isaac showed him the publication right then. "They now
have the attention of everyone else in the business now, too."
Stephen''s eyes widened after he scanned through the paper and snapped,” They broke their promise!
They''re throwing Irene under the bus!"
“At least you get it,” Isaac growled furiously, even cursing, "Half-witted inbreds!"
ndestineness was the best approach for this, and what good was announcing early to steal the
limelight for a brief second? It would be a real p in the face if they failed their development, too!
Understanding the gravity of the situation, Stephen asked, “They took Irene? Is she in danger?"
"You think?!" Isaac was frustrated by the sheer stupidity surrounding him.” Who did you give it to?"
‘Tobey Kitsch,” Stephen replied. "He''s the deputy director of Hotmesh Research.”
That was when James returned with the man in question.

Since Tobey was an important man, James was not physically restraining him, instead staying behind
him and keeping a keen eye to stop him from running away.
He did not have to worry either, since Tobey was walking in with his hands sped behind his back, as
if perfectly at ease.
Stephen, however, could not hold back and charged at Tobey the instant he saw him, demanding, "You
agreed not to leak the data! How do you exin this academic paper?"
"The research is a sessful one,” Tobey said tly. "We naturally have to announce it to the public."
“But is it yours?!" Stephen was almost left with a heart attack by the other man''s attitude. "This wasn''t
what you said when I gave it to you!"
"What did I say?’ Tobey asked in return.
Stephen''s bby cheeks twitched. Tobey was breaking every promise he made!
"Have you forgotten? We agreed that the data would only be used for research-it must also be kept
under secrecy, made only avable to key personnel of Hotmesh Research. So why has it been
publicized in just a day?"
Tobey held Stephen''s gaze for a while and breathed a long sigh. "I did say that, but..."
“But, what? If you don''t exin yourself, you won''t find me so patient, let alone Isaac here."
That left Tobey perplexed-why was Isaac getting involved?
What did this have to do with him?
"Mr. Jefferson, everyone in Zidonia’s medical field is grateful that you brought the forum here, but are
you really a part of this?"
"The doctor who brought US the data is an attending physician at Mead Clinic by the name of Jane
Tanner, but that’s just an alias. She''s actually a Zidonian national by the name of Irene Spencer, and
the wife of Isaac here. Care to wonder why he''s getting involved now? I guess you should know that
Mead Clinic personnel had taken her away because of the paper you published, so you really should
ask yourself what you''re going to do about this."
Tobey might be a person of authority and respected in the medical field, but he was nothing to Isaac.
Tobey was certainly aware of that and why he had a personal stake in all this-he just did not expect
things to turn out like this.
"Say something!" Stephen barked.
Tobey went for ast-ditch struggle. "It''s a decision voted for by thepany..."
Isaac turned to James right then. "Call in their director."
Tobey caved immediately. "Stop! Please, I''ll exin..."
