Chapter 947
“Director Carter, watch it, or I’ll file a complaint against you p>
Gwen Quinn exploded.
“Professor Quinn, your daughter attempted murder. The situation has escalated, and naturally, the police need to step in.
Our Campus Security Department only handles the safety of students on campus. We have no jurisdiction over criminal offenses.
This is basic knowledge. Surely, Professor Quinn understands p>
Director Carter feigned confusion.
Gwen glared at him. “Stop blowing things out of proportion! What criminal offense? Who committed a crime?
She’s the one who brought bodyguards to bully my daughter, okay p>
But Director Carter remained unruffled. “Since you refuse to accept my word, let the police be the judge p>
Then, he ignored Gwen, stepping aside to wait patiently.
He firmly believed that standing with Mira Mercer was the absolute right choice.
“You-Raymond Carter, just you wait p>
“Professor Quinn, are you asking me to bend the law for personal favors p>
Director Carter crossed his arms, waiting to the side as he spoke in an unhurried tone.
Fortunately, the police arrived shortly after.
After getting the full story, Mira handed over the Digital Brooch Wire recording.
“Based on what Seraphina just let slip, they tampered with something at my Nexus Core Systems, though she refused to specify what.
I’d appreciate it if you could investigate exactly what she did p>
The onlookers silently agreed that Seraphina was remarkably foolish-bragging about her sabotage right after committing it.
Gwen fought tooth and nail to prevent the police from taking her daughter away.
But the authorities went by the book and insisted on bringing Seraphina to the precinct.
Eventually the university president intervened, offering Gwen a small courtesy by guaranteeing that- Seraphina would not free during exams, and that the university would escort her to the precinct afterward.
Only then did the police allow her to take her exams.
Mira couldn’t care less. Letting Seraphina finish her exams changed nothing; she was still heading straight for a detention cell.
Mira hadn’t actually expected to pry
any concrete details from her mouth anyway. She already had a solid
quess as to what had been
tampered with.
Sending Seraphina to the precinct was purely to torture her and teach her a harsh lesson.
That day, after finishing her own
exams and returning home,
called Caleb Brooks, the lead
developer for the mobile S.CHave there been any issues lately p>
“None at all, Boss p>
“Someone mentioned today that they messed with our research, and I’ll supposedly find out in a couple of days.
What do you think it could be p>
“Boss, I can guarantee there are no internal leaks from our staff.
First, our compensation packages are the best in the industry; they won’t jump ship.
Second, everyone is pouring their sweat into the research every single day. They don’t have the time or energy to pull any stunts p>
Mira trusted him completely. In her past life, Caleb was known as the father of Aegis OS and its chief scientist.
Under his leadership, the development of Aegis OS had never hit a single snag.
Caleb paused, a thought suddenly striking him.
“Boss, does the person who said that have any overseas connections p>
Mira thought of Mishka. “Yes, they have ties with foreigners p>
“That makes sense. It’s highly likely they leaked our ongoing development of Aegis
OS to the mobile companies in the Javenaire Federation.
The fallout from that would be Javenaire imposing a technical blockade on Aegis OS, cutting off our access prematurely.
That would be devastating for our research p>
