How was this possible?
How could this be something she had written?
This was a concept Sebastian had envisioned after her first successful project at the Blake Group.
At the time, she had poured all her energy into trying to deliver a good result for Sebastian, pushing herself to the brink of a breakdown, but she could never produce anything viable.
She had kept the code, however, thinking that perhaps one day, when the technology matured and new talent emerged, she could recruit someone to make Sebastian's dream a reality. It would have been a magnificent achievement to claim as her own.
So, the file was saved.
But how on earth did her work get leaked?
Impossible. This was absolutely impossible.
She had encrypted it.
Bella glared at Lillian, her eyes burning with fury.
“Lillian, you despicable snake.”
Lillian watched her with a calm, composed expression, showing no sign of anger. “Isn’t this your own masterpiece, Miss Ward? How am I being despicable?”
The whispers around them grew louder. By now, it was obvious to everyone. They weren't stupid; they had figured it out.
It was a simple, almost laughably transparent setup.
Victor had mentioned earlier that Lillian had forgotten to shut down her computer after work.
Then, a confidential file from Lillian's company was leaked online.
