The Bound Between Us

Chapter 372

Herman had an inkling that there was more to this Joseph than just a business rival. “He’s come prepared,” Herman said. “There’s a possibility that the data was leaked from our dad.”

Flynn chuckled. “Herman, that’s impossible. Dad might be a bit of a loose cannon, but there’s no way he’d let such crucial data slip. Why would he help that company? Elysian Technologies is his son’s. The boss of that company isn’t his son. Who would harm their own child?”

Flynn’s words were casual, but they gave Herman food for thought. He stared at Joseph’s profile on his computer screen. A Yale graduate, born in Riverdale, was 29 years old this year. Just one year younger than Herman.

From Joseph’s features, Herman noticed a few clues, and a hypothesis sprouted in his mind.

Internally taken aback, he calmly changed the subject. “What have you been doing at the company these days? How come you know nothing about the bidding?”

“Herman, there’s just so much happening at the company. I can’t keep up.” Flynn scratched his head. “I’m not as capable as you. One task alone overwhelms me. There’re so many things to do every day. This document needs signing. That one needs reading. Then there are the social obligations. My schedule is packed. By the time I get home, my brain is in a mess.”
