Chapter 95

Chapter 95 Was I that gullible?

Without a word, Claire tumed her monitor to give Matthew a good look at the news regarding Hp and Venus AMD

Matthew's eyes scanned the headlines, and his face scrunched up in disbelief. "This is fake, right?" he asked, hoping for a different answer.

Claire shook her head. "It's not take. And it's not even the world part," she said, her tone heavy with mix with anger and disappointment. She then played a video of Venus AMD's announcement, rewaling their new software. Matthewwatched, his eyes widening in shock.

He turned to Claire, disbelief written all over his face. "Isn't this the project you showed me?" he asked.

Claire nodded, her expression bitter, "Yes, it is. Looks like I have a snitch in my company, but I have no idea who it could be."

Matthew crossed his arms, his face serious. "Have you interrogated the team who handled the project?" he asked, thinking logically about the next steps. Claire nodded again. "I did. asked everyone, and they all serused as shocked as I was. They claim they don't know anything about it"

Matthew frowned, considering her words "Maybe they're lying," he suggested, his mind racing with possibilities.

Claire shrugged, clearly tom. "Maybe yes, maybe no. But from their expressions, they genuinely seemed clueless. And I trust my employees," she said. Matthew sighed, deep in though it's a tough situation. Do you have any suspicions at all beside your team?" he asked, hoping Claire might have some leads. Claire's gaze remained loved on her computer screen as she spoke. "No, I don't. They were the only ones who knew about the project and worked on it which doesn't make sense." she said, frustration lacing her words. Her eyes gaze at Matthew looking serious "Let's say one of them did leaked the information to Venus, why would the put so much time and energy to the project if at the end they are going to sell it to our rivals?

Matthewmodded, thinking it over. "You're right. It doesn't add up. Why would someone sabotage their own hard work?"

Claire sighed, finally tearing her gaze from Matthew to the monitor screen. "We need to get to the bottom of this, Matthew. We can't let this go on."
