Chapter 1158
She lowered her head. “I'm sorry. This was caused by my negligence. | cto take a look last night before
leaving and five employees were dutifully watching this place. As | was a little curious and wanted t o cin to
take a look, | told them to go and have their meal while | kept watch of the place. They remindedto lock the
doors before | left but | forgot."
There were two doors in the institute. In order to facilitate the transport of items, the doors would be open during
the day and closed at night. Infrared identification would be switched on for the door in front, s o even if the door
was not locked, it was still quite impossible to break in. But unfortunately, the infrared identification was
switched off when Lally went in. That gave the thieves an opportunity to cin and steal the things inside.
| stroked my chin and felt that something did not add up.
If what Lally said was true, then the thieves had to know that the infrared identification had been switched off,
which was why they went in and stole the things a s soon as Lally left. Otherwise, they would not have had
enough time.

That said, the thieves must have been there, or perhaps someone present at the twas an accomplice who
notified the thieves to cin and steal the things.
"Do you know how much money and effort i t took us to cup with these things?
How many sleepless nights were spent in order to research this project? And now you're trying to wipe the slate
clean with a word of apology?" Elena turned her head and said, the anger on her face clearly visible.
She then turned to Jordan and angrily said, "Mr. Fredericks, you have to give us an explanation for this. | hope
you can be fair and reasonable, not the least bit biased. Otherwise, I'll think that Grant Corporation has
partnered with a company that practices jobbery."
Jordan nodded his head. "Don’t worry, Ms. Mandez. I'll handle this matter properly and give Grant Corporation a
reasonable explanation."
Elena took a deep breath and looked at me. "You're the person in charge of this project, Ms. Lane. Now that
something major like this has happened, are you going to just stand there and not say anything?" | knew she
foundan eyesore, and now that her hard work had been stolen away, it was understandable for her to take it
out o n me. | patiently replied, "Don't worry, Ms. Mandez. I'll take full responsibility for this and am willing to
accept any punishment from the company, but what we should be considering right now isn’t how I'll be
punished but how to minimize the loss."
"Minimize the loss?" Elena sneered. “You're too optimistic. Almost everything in the base has either spoiled or
stolen. Nothing i s usable. The project is running now, and b y the tthe site is completed, we'll have nothing
to offer in terms of intelligence. If we delay the opening, then the loss that will incur then will be so much more
serious than this." "We understand these things, Ms. Mandez. But please don’t bring your emotions into this or
it'll be hard to solve the problem.
We'll just end up incurring more losses instead."
Cally could not help but say, "It's not just Grant Corporation that'll be suffering losses this tbut Fredericks
Corporation as well. We're in this together. None of us wish to suffer any losses."
Elena sneered. "Well, aren't you smart?
You've caused two companies to pay for your mistake but are still acting so shamelessly. You don't feel guilty at
all. Fredericks Corporation sure is full of talented people, huh?”

Those words were hurtful to hear, and Cally, who was already blaming herself a lot, felt even more embarrassed
now.
| glanced at her and said to Elena, "Ms. Mandez, no one is saying that we won't compensate for this loss and
won't take
responsibility for it, so why are you rubbing salt in other people's wounds? No one wished for this to happen. The
way you're acting so aggressively makes it seem like you want her to pay for her sins with death. Is that it?"
"You!" Elena was furious.
"That's enough!" Theo spoke. He looked at Elena. "Have you calculated the loss?"
Elena nodded. "It's all calculated."
Theo pursed his lips. "Hurry up and make a list. Then notify the person in charge in Whaldorf City to order the
equipment.
Make sure the media doesn't find out about this. Keep this confidential. Everything will go according to the
original plan."
He looked at Keith and continued to instruct him, "You'll liaise with Fredericks Corporation's finance department «
regarding the specific losses."
