When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

Both Linda and I nodded compliantly. As Armond and Ashton were busy discussing the countermeasures, we decided to go and have a look at the base.

“The company has suffered up to hundreds of millions of losses. I can’t imagine how much I am going to pay for compensation,” Linda spoke as we made our way to the base.

A negligent employee would have to bear a part of the losses caused by his or her negligence. According to the law, Linda would be assuming thirty percent of the losses while I, the project manager, would bear twenty percent. As for the remaining fifty percent of losses, that would be the company’s responsibility.

Regardless, anyone who lacked a strong heart would’ve broken down in the face of such great losses.

I let out a sigh. “Let’s check the base out. Perhaps the policemen can find the culprit soon and trace all those stolen AI instruments.”

“I hope so,” she muttered and then heaved a sigh of despondency.

Everyone busied themselves in the base until late at night. None of us had the time to take a break. When the losses assessment was completed, all of us gathered in the hotel’s conference room to have a meeting.

Joseph handed each of us a document before he spoke, “This is the total amount of losses. Please have a look at it.”

Linda quickly flipped open the document. She drew a sharp breath the moment her eyes met the figure. “Three hundred million?!” she cried out.

Joseph cast a glance at her and nodded. “Most of the stolen instruments are related to the company’s core technologies. We can’t rule out the possibility that our rival company is the one behind this incident. Hence, we need to include the possible risks as part of the losses. If any party lays their hands on Fuller Corporation’s core technology, they might patent our invention.”
