Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 325

At the Clarke family headquarters.

A piercing alarm suddenly blared through the building.

“What’s happening?!”

“The firewall has been breached!”

“Core data is being leaked! Cut the network connection, now!”

Chaos erupted.

Grace sat at the main console, her fingers flying across the keyboard as she tried to intercept the unknown data stream.

“Ms. Hart, please stop what you’re doing.”

A large hand pressed down on her keyboard.

It was the head of the Clarke family’s Internal Affairs department, Graham Walters. He was flanked by four uniformed security guards, their expressions grim.

Grace didn’t look up.

“I’m running damage control. Give me three more minutes, and I can trace the other party’s IP address.”

“That won’t be necessary.”

Graham sneered, throwing a stack of printed log records onto the desk. “We’ve already traced the IP. It originated from this lab, from this computer, under your account.”

“Grace, you’re under suspicion of selling corporate secrets. You need to come with us.”

The air in the room instantly froze.

The researchers who had once respected her immediately started whispering among themselves.

“I knew it. What good could ever come from the Hart family?”

“I heard her old academic papers were all plagiarized.”

“You really can’t judge a book by its cover. And after Mr. Clarke was so good to her…”

Grace’s fingers curled into a fist.

“I didn’t do it.”

She stood up. Her movements were slightly slow due to her injured leg, but her back was perfectly straight. “This is a frame-up. My account was hacked.”

“You can save that for the police,” Graham said impatiently, waving a hand. “Take her away! And search her personal belongings. This new energy project is the lifeblood of the Clarke family. If anything goes wrong, ten of your lives wouldn’t be enough to pay for it!”

A guard roughly shoved her.

Grace stumbled, her left shoulder slamming into the corner of a desk. She sucked in a sharp breath against the pain.

“Don’t touch me.”
