The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 1665

Santos carefully placed the fragments back into the sealed bag, noticing Joen's increasingly troubled expression. After taking a thoughtful pause, he asked, "What exactly happened?"

Joen leaned back against the sofa, eyes fixed on the ceiling, and decided there was no point in hiding it anymore. "I accidentally rubbed someone the wrong way, and now they're getting back at me. Over fifty pieces of our lab equipment have been tampered with or damaged."

Santos frowned, understanding the seriousness of the situation. Damaging that many pieces of lab equipment was no joke. Aside from their cost, the research data they held was priceless.

"If they got destroyed, the losses would be off the charts."

"Who would be gutsy enough to mess with so much gear? Did you catch anyone in the act?" Santos paused and then added, "Don't they know you're connected to our base, Doctor?"

Joen felt a wave of frustration at the mention of this. He still couldn't wrap his head around how the Davis family managed to sneak into the lab unnoticed. Despite the school's surveillance and police investigations, there wasn't a single lead.
