Chapter 326
As time went by, both Jennifer and Alicia's hearts were thumping wildly. The situation had gotten out of hand and both of them couldn't give in. One of them was banking on her luck while the other was taking a gamble.
Looking at the time, Frederick said, "Let's start! If you clear your suspicion, the company will clarify this matter publicly! What do you plan to do? Just say it!"
"I need someone to help me coordinate the suspects and cooperate with the relevant departments!"
When she spoke, Alicia was not afraid at all. Perhaps she had nothing to fear. Coupled with the work experience of being an interpreter, she spoke clearly and professionally. Although she was surrounded by men of a higher rank, she was unwavering.
At that moment, not only were her colleagues there, the higher management and bosses were also around.
Unconsciously, Frederick was attracted by her actions. He glanced behind him and said, "Chet..."
As soon as he spoke, everyone present was stunned.
Chet was officially the CEO's assistant and looked like a messenger. He wasn't in charge of any departments, but in fact, all the managers had to respect him. Even in the meeting room, he's seated next to the CEO. He's second only to the CEO and could even host the meeting in the CEO's absence.
One could imagine how high his rank was!
Among the people, the CEO actually appointed him to handle this. It was unbelievable.
Everyone thought that it was excessive to appoint him to handle this.
At the same time, they couldn't help but be surprised. How much weight did the CEO hold in his heart regarding this method? He even appointed his assistant to be involved!
Everyone lowered their heads, looked at Chet and held their breaths.
Chet naturally knew that Frederick was worried that someone would interrupt the investigation and didn't know who to trust. If he were to handle this himself and their relationship was exposed, it was inevitable that others would question the outcome.
Therefore, Chet took a step forward and said with great respect, "Miss Blanchard..."
Since Frederick couldn't handle it himself, he had to do it as publicly as possible. No matter what the result was, he wouldn't let the outcome be doubted.
"Since the machine was broken in the lab, we should start there! As far as I know, ever since the machine broke down, the laboratory's doors have never been opened again. That is why the last one to enter is also the one that noticed the malfunction, which was the technician! I'll need the technician to prove that he was at the scene. Before that, I hope that the scene is well protected!"
As soon as Alicia finished speaking, Chet said, "Mr. Andrews, could you please make a phone call to ask the technician to come over with the keys?"
Kane Andrews, who was the manager of the international headquarters picked up the phone on the table.
Alicia added on something else after a moment's thought.
"I want the surveillance to be shown
to everyone here. I'll also need another technician who's familiar with the machinery!" Alicia explained everything clearly and
professionally. In an instant, the new
scene was
was quiet and everyone's
eyes were focused on her. Since Frederick was there, no one dared to move. The onlookers didn't even dare to leave or make a sound. It was as if time has stopped at this moment.
Soon, all the relevant personnel had arrived. Someone from the Surveillance Department even brought a laptop over.
"Now that everyone is here, let's go to the lab and see what the broken machine looks like!"
Then, under Alicia's lead, Frederick, the group of executives and the relevant personnel walked towards a room in the corner.
As it was a precise instrument, it
was not open to the public. It was placed in an independent room in order to allow the employees to study it, as well as for the clients to take a look at it. Of course, it was set up there to minimize the risk of accidents. After all, the machine was highly sensitive and could be
damaged easily.
The lab was large and empty. There were tables against the wall with some prototypes on them.
The machine involved was a medium sized machine equipped with a computer, so it was placed on the right side of the lab. The computer was covered with a cloth. As for the machine, the frame was obviously deformed and the wiring behind it looked disordered.
When Alicia stopped, so did everyone behind her. They didn't want to get near the machine. Only the higher executives and relevant personnel entered the lab. The other employees just stayed outside.
Everyone stood still. Then, Alicia collected her thoughts and said, "Before we start, I want to confirm a few things!"
After saying that, she looked at Frederick. Seeing him nod, she continued.
"Excuse me, Mr. Murray, are you in charge of the management and cleaning of the lab every day? Every time you clean up, do you wipe every piece of machinery and inspect them? Don't worry, I'm not doubting you. I just want everyone to be clear of the process, so I can clear my name. Thank
you."
Although Alicia's words were sharp, her attitude was polite. With Frederick in charge, no one dared to cause trouble. A middle-aged man stepped forward.
"People don't come in every day, so I
won't clean it daily. Usually, when someone enters the lab, I'll do the cleaning on that day or the day after according to the circumstances. There are rules and regulations that anyone that enters will be
Lovelet
accompanied by employees. After operating the machines, they are required to set it to its original state. My job is to maintain the cleanliness, make sure everything is tidy and put on the cloth. I'm not equipped to use the machine, so I'll only switch off the power supply. I won't turn on the machine myself!"
Although he was just a cleaner, he managed to explain clearly and also clear off his own suspicion.
While listening, Alicia looked at the machine and its overall condition. She noticed an obvious trace of dust around the cable that was near the wall.
It was fortunate that she could notice this!All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
