Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 3264 I Didn't Start The Fire

Once someone messed with Shanks' research, it did not matter who they were, he would not show any mercy.

Luca knew this all too well, so when Shanks said they could not let Kyle off the hook, she did not look surprised. She just kept sorting through the date.

Abel could tell Shanks was really mad. After all, days of research had just gone up in smoke, and anyone would be furious in his shoes.

Plus, Shanks had endured several tough days in the mountains of X City just to gather those herbs.

"I'm not letting him off, but we still need to investigate this thoroughly," added Abel.

"Even if there's no solid evidence, you'd still beat someone half to death. Abel, this is my research, and it's what you want. You need to get to the bottom of this. If this isn't handled properly, I'm not going to continue with the research," replied Shanks.

He could not stand people who casually ruined others work.

"Alright, alright, don't worry. When the time comes to take action, I won't hesitate. Trust me, okay?" Abel knew Shanks was seriously pissed and had to calm him down.

"Once we've got all the facts, no matter who's responsible, I'll make sure you get answers. In the meantime, focus on sorting through the data and see how much we've lost."

As he glanced at the thick stack of data, Abel shot a warning look at Luca before turning around to leave.

Luca knew he still suspected her.

However, she did not bother explaining. The more she explained, the guiltier she looked. It would just seem like she was trying to cover something up.

Hence, she figured acting indifferent was the best approach.

"Ivana, are you sure you had nothing to do with this?" Shanks suddenly asked.

Luca paused for a moment. "Why would I set the fire?"

Shanks remained silent.

"Mr. Shanks, is this research meant to deal with me?" asked Luca. She knew if she outright asked what the research was for, Shanks would not answer.

Therefore, she took a different angle.

"No," answered Shanks.

"If it's not related to me, why would I set the fire?" Luca asked again.
