Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 441

The Richards Group was still brightly lit even though it was late at night. All the executives were still busy at work.

Hansen had not slept a wink in the past few days. He had been busy conducting meetings with the executives as they analyzed the current situation, trying to find out the cause.

All the evidence pointed to the fact that the GPS of the cars manufactured by the Richards Group had records of leaking out the nation's top secrets. It was an immutable fact. There was nothing else they could do except to recall the cars from the market.

The point was, how was the document containing the nation's top secrets installed into the system? Was it an error or was someone framing them on purpose?

He had analyzed the situation very carefully. It was highly unlikely that it was a programming error. In fact, it was impossible. Only one possibility was left. Someone had deliberately inserted the document into the system to frame the company.

Such a malicious act had occurred right under his nose. To make matters worse, he could not find any evidence that someone had sabotaged the system. This put him in a very bad mood.

In general, the cars had gone through many stages of inspection during the production phase. It was astonishing that an error would occur. Besides, an outsider couldn't enter and sabotage the system.

Hence, there was only one plausible explanation. Someone among them had betrayed the company.

All the employees involved were suspects. The thought crossed his mind and Hansen almost shook his head in disbelief.

He had appointed each one of the executives himself. They could be trusted. Besides, the Richards Group had always treated them well. It was pointless for them to engage in something illegal such as this. Once they discovered the truth, the person would only be imprisoned. They were smart people. Who would be so foolish as to do something like this?

This was what puzzled him the most.

Meanwhile, Sergio was acting pretty overbearing and aggressive. He kept an eye on them every single day and urged them to work faster. He wanted to settle the case quickly so that he could report to his superiors.

Before they knew it, dusk had arrived.

Hansen sat in his office as he glanced at the scenery outside his window. The streets were brightly lit. He had no idea how much time had passed. All he felt was fatigue.

What Luqman said rang in his head. "Young man, you will return to see me."

Was the incident related to the competition between Luqman and Yadriel? Would he really be forced to return and see him?

Hansen was at a loss about at to do with the mess.

The day after he met Luqman, someone published a photo of them together in the newspapers right away. It was apparent that someone wanted to destroy the Richards Group.

Misfortunes came as expected. It happened so suddenly that they did not even have time to prepare for it. To their dismay, they had been charged with a severe offence for being involved in the disclosure of the country's top secrets via the cars manufactured by the company.

Who could afford to be accused of such a terrible crime?

There was a soft knock on the door.

"Come in." Without raising his head, Hansen spoke in a deep voice.

After a while, the sound of footsteps drew closer.

"Hansen, Mr. Richards." A sweet and soft voice could be heard. It was apparent that it belonged to a woman.

Hansen raised his head and his gaze grew cold.

"What do you want?" he asked briefly.

"Hansen..." Liya was being coy.

"Call me 'Mr. Richards'." Hansen furrowed his brows. This woman. How dare she call him by his name just because she had known him when they were kids. He was truly annoyed. Besides, were they even close? Even Jenna rarely called him by his name in the office. Hence, he corrected her immediately with an icy stare.

Liya flushed scarlet red but within a few seconds, she put on a smile again and said softly, "Mr. Richards, here is the program that you have requested."

Liya was very polite. She handed him the USB drive with both hands and batted her eyelashes as she looked at him with her dazzling eyes.

"Okay," Hansen answered without even glancing up at her, as he reached out his hand to take the USB drive. He put it in the drawer. When he raised his head again, he was surprised to see that Liya had no intention to leave. He exclaimed in surprise, "Is there anything else you would like to say to me?"

"No," Liya replied in a soft voice, shaking her head.

Hansen narrowed his eyes in annoyance.

Liya's hands were fidgeting nervously, as she raised her head and spoke with concern. "Hansen, I mean, Mr. Richards, don't be too upset about what has happened to the company. We just need to find the culprit and bring them into custody. Once the matter has been resolved, everything will be back to normal."

Her eyes were as clear as water. She looked at him earnestly and her eyes were dazzling and mesmerizing.

"Oh." Hansen looked at her in surprise, with a faint smile tugging up the corners of his mouth. "Liya, thank you. However, how did you know that I'm looking for a culprit?"

Liya was stunned for a moment. There was a look of panic on her face. However, she calmed down quickly and said firmly, "Mr. Richards, I'm pretty sure someone has sabotaged the system. You are such a wise man. There's no way that you would allow the Richards Group to engage in something illegal."

She said earnestly, as if she knew him very well.

Hansen's phoenix-like eyes narrowed. He raised his head and there was a gleam in his eyes.

"Thank you, Liya. You're such a considerate woman." He flashed her a charming smile and complimented her.

Liya's eyes shone as she was over the moon upon receiving Hansen's praise. She raised her head and said with confidence, "Hansen, don't worry. No matter what, I will always put the company's interests first. If you need me, just call me. I will do my best."
