Lily had been worried that she was being called in for slacking off, but when she heard it was about a leak, she felt a surge of confidence.
“How should I know?” she retorted. “I wasn’t the only one working on this project.”
“Weren’t Giselle and the others working on it too?” She had casually asked around the day before and knew they were doing the same kind of work.
Evangeline didn’t argue. Instead, she handed over the files she had given to Giselle and the others.
Lily glanced at them, initially unconcerned, but as she saw their contents, she suddenly understood Evangeline’s point.
Giselle and the others had been working on the same vulnerability as she was, but their solutions approached the problem from completely different angles.
Now, the solution that Fawkes Enterprises had just released was identical to the one in her hands.
The implication was clear: she was the one who had leaked it.
For a fleeting moment, Lily’s heart pounded with fear, but she quickly composed herself.
She might have been nervous before, but this time, she hadn’t leaked anything. The mole had to be someone else.
As for who…
Lily looked at Evangeline and sneered. “Director Whitmore, I know you don’t like me, but you can’t just frame me for something like this.”
“You just want me gone, don’t you? Fine, I’ll just quit.”
With that, Lily defiantly slapped her employee ID on the table and turned as if to leave.
She and Evangeline didn’t get along, so she had figured Evangeline would eventually find an excuse to fire her. But she had been personally promoted by Theo, and during Evangeline’s absence, she had been instrumental in helping him keep the department stable. Evangeline might want her gone, but Theo wouldn’t necessarily agree.
