Chapter 536


    Chapter 536


    Ember had a look of utter contempt. "You keep insisting that you are close with Mr. Cross, but you''re in


    such a hurry to leave him already? You hardly look like you''re mourning, too-are you really a friend to


    Mr. Cross as you kept iming?"


    Debbie narrowed her eyes at Ember for seconds, but ultimately kept quiet and strode off, bearing with


    her snide remarks.


    After all, she knew that arguing or exining would never work with Ember -the best option was to


    silence her permanently!


    On the other hand, Ember appeared disgruntled, but Zachary put a hand on her arm before she could,


    and even spoke on Debbie’s behalf. "Ember, everyone including Debbie is hurting after what happened


    to James. She cane off as cold, but thates with working with Isaac-it''s not as if she doesn''t


    care, but she''s just that good at hiding her feelings.”


    Ember appeared a little jealous that Zachary knew Debbie so well. "You seem to know everything


    about her... But I still think that she’s up to no good.”


    Debbie was within earshot and her eyes darkened.


    Screw that woman!


    Then, remembering the mysterious person who texted her, she whipped out her phone to text them.


    [Do you have a way to eliminate Ember Lindt?]


    Two minutester, she received a document file and Debbie frowned as she tapped on it.


    It turned out to be a detailed dossier of everything about Ember, even her family.


    Debbie studied it and texted the mysterious person soon after, asking tentatively: [Do you have a


    grudge against her?]


    Why would they investigate Ember so thoroughly otherwise?


    Debbie wondered then if the person was trying to eliminate Ember while using herself-but who could


    they be?


    An enemy of Ember''s?


    [Ember cares most about Zachary te. You can start with him.]


    The mysterious person appeared uninterested in the question.


    Debbie was left staring at the screen for a while-the mysterious person was clearly being evasive.


    Still, she soon came up with an idea and sent a reply.


    [Thanks for the tip.]


    There was no reply, so Debbie pocketed her phone and strode off.


    Over at Minerva, Irene was being interrogated repeatedly.


    "Who did you give the research data to?"

    The intimidating man who asked the question was leveling a sharp blue gaze at her, and it appeared


    that he would not give up as long as she did not talk.


    After all this was serous-it concerned the rivalry between nations, and if she admitted to it, Zidonia''s


    international reputation would be tarnished further and she would be charged as a Spy.


    Minerva might even build a case around her at that point.


    "I took it myself. No one told me to do it-I wanted to use it for personal reasons, but I lost it by


    ident.”


    "And it somehow ended up in the hands of Zidonia''s top research center. Admit it-you''re a Zidnoian


    spy. Do so, and we will release you.”


    Irene did not take the bait. "I''m not. I''ve told you many times-no one talked me into this. I was going to


    use it for personal profit, but I just lost it.”


    They were clearly displeased by Irene’s obstinance. "Do you think being stubborn means a thing now?


    Or were you hoping someone would save you?"


    "No, I know that no one ising for me. I''ll take responsibility for my actions, and I understand that


    I''ve ruined Mead Clinic''s research efforts. I''m willing to take responsibility for any punishment, but I do


    not admit to spying or being incited.”


    Irene did not fear or cower despite the interrogation, because she knew that they would charge her with


    every crime they could think of if she showed weakness. She certainly learned her lesson, too-Stephen


    Carr was trustworthy, but the people around him had no vision.
