NovelEnglishChapter 871: Just as she flipped to a new page in her notebook, red lights blazed across the lab, bathing the room in a glaring glow.
"Warning! Defense system triggered!" blared the automated voice, accompanied by a deafening alarm. Lena whipped around, her heart racing, and saw Allison sprawled on the floor, right beside Verruckt's safe. "You idiot! What did you do?" Lena shrieked, her voice shaking with panic.
She could feel the weight of responsibility crushing her. As the one in charge, any blunder of this magnitude would land squarely on her. If Verruckt got wind of this mess, Lena knew that she'd be the first to pay the price.

"It's in cabnumber three!" she snapped, quickly using her authority to shut off the alarm blaring from the defense system.

She really wanted to call out Allison for her clumsiness, but she held back, worried about getting into trouble with Verruckt. She bit her lip instead.
"Everything's fine," she said. “You can all go back to what you were doing." Judith clicked her tongue in frustration. "It better be," she muttered.
Finding no real problem, Judith and the others left the room.

"I didn't know," Allison answered, playing innocent. "There wasn't anything like that when I cin last night.” Lena's expression darkened at her response.
Lena had heard that Alice arrived with Verruckt the night before.
Who knew what this woman was really up to? Maybe she was trying to get Verruckt's attention.
"The folder you're looking for should be over there,” Lena said, pointing to a nearby cabinet. "Go find it yourself."
At first, Lena thought about messing with Allison, but she quickly changed her mind All she wanted now was for Allison to grab the folder and leave.
