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 claiming?"
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 explaining 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 can come off as
cold, but that comes with working with Isaac-it's not as if she doesn’t care, but she's just that good at hiding her
feelings."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEmber 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 minutes later, 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 Slate. 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 serious-it concerned the rivalry between nations, and if she admitted to it, Zidonia's international
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmreputation 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-l wanted to use it for personal reasons, but I lost it by accident."
"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 is coming 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.
