Chapter 281 You Guessed It All?


Cormac watched as Alaric left the office, exited the building, and drove away.

Cormac stayed at the office until very late, holding the flash drive in his hand, feeling extremely guilty and conflicted.

Ambrose: [Once you have the flash drive, Mr. Nash, you can place it in locker 102 at Euphoria Center. As soon as the results come out tomorrow, the promise will be fulfilled immediately.] Cormac walked out of Nexus Innovations with the flash drive.

When he closed the locker door, Cormac knew that the wrong deed was done and there was no turning back.

Cormac couldn't sleep at all that night. He didn't dare to think about Alaric's reaction when he found out, nor the consequences this would bring to Nexus Innovations.

But one thing was certain: as long as Aurora was safe, he would turn himself in and report Ambrose's threats.

Although Cormac had no evidence and might even be counter-accused by Ambrose, he had to do it, or he would never have peace of mind.
