Colby's face was full of concern when he answered, “Nothing much. It's just that I thought you would be in a bad mood, considering what had happened.”
Roxanne froze for a few seconds before flashing a helpless smile. I trusted all my colleagues in the research institute, but I ended up getting stabbed in the back. Anyone would be as moody as me if they were in my shoes.
“Jason is an old-timer in the research institute. I also didn't expect him to do something so foolish.”
Colby followed her into the office and uttered apologetically, “If I had known, I would've kept an eye on him yesterday.”
Roxanne sat on her chair dejectedly and said, “It has nothing to do with you. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't have expected him to do something like that either.”
At that moment, all she wanted to know was the identity of the person who sent Jason the email.
As Colby was taking a seat opposite her, he was observing her expression silently. “I wonder what the mastermind's motive is. Coincidentally, the storage room that Jason burned down stored Herbscape Group's medicinal herbs.”
Roxanne's heart skipped a beat when she heard those words because she suddenly realized something.
“It's so weird. Who else would know about Jason's son apart from the people in the research institute? I can't believe the mastermind ended up using that against Jason,” Colby continued.
He was hinting at the fact that someone had gone to great lengths to destroy Herbscape Group's batch of medicinal herbs.
Upon saying that, Colby stared intently at Roxanne's face to see if he could glean some information out of her expression.
Although Roxanne's heart was racing, she acted calm and composed. “I've already told someone to investigate the email address, so I should hear back from that person soon. Let's talk about it afterward.”
