A Replacement Bride

Chapter 89

Jeremy felt guilty and muttered with his head hanging low.

"We have spent so much to support a group of so-called technical staff, and this is all you can do? Have you fixed the firewall? Have you found out who attacked our firewall? Area Seven's firewall is considered the best in the world, so it is definitely the best within the country, but shouldn't you reflect on it now that the hacking had gone unnoticed?" Joaquin glanced at him coldly and snorted.

Jeremy was quiet after hearing what he said. "Joaquin, I suspect that someone had revealed our secret on purpose. No outsiders had visited Area Seven before, but a few days back, an outsider was here, and now, such an incident seemed suspicious. On top of that, you brought her into your room, so she could be the one who leaked our secret." Someone in the room couldn't stand seeing Jeremy being scolded and blaming Katherine for what had happened.

After hearing that, everyone in the room seemed convinced by his words. Since Joaquin wanted to protect Katherine's identity, he didn't openly speak about her, which was why not many people knew who she really was. He never thought that she would be blamed because of it.

"Nonsense! This incident has nothing to do with Miss Cornell, and she would never do such a thing. Don't blame your incompetence on others!" Jeremy condemned the man.

"I admit that I'm not as skilled, but we cannot totally rule out that she had nothing to do with this! Area Seven had always been well guarded, and no accidents had happened until she came over here. Isn't that suspicious? Who is she? Is she trustworthy and has her identity been verified?" The man who spoke was one of Area Seven's IT personnel, Jordan Flint.

He was a genius with an extremely high IQ who was admitted into Cechirus University as a top student at the age of 16. On top of that, he studied Computer Science which was one of the most popular subjects. His skills were ranked among the top in the world as he was ranked in the top 20 internationally. He held himself in high regard, and so he was naturally frustrated when Area Seven's firewall was hacked unnoticeably. He was willing to accept criticism, but he insisted that the incident had something to do with Katherine.

"She…" Jeremy wanted to explain on Katherine's behalf but was interrupted by Joaquin.

"Tell me, what do you find suspicious about her?" Joaquin glanced at Jeremy before shifting his gaze to look at Jordan.

Since you are the supreme commander of Area Seven, it's safest to have the information stored on your computer. Since she had entered your room and stayed there for a while, I wouldn't believe it if you said she was not a suspect.
