Female Novel
Chapter 900
Noticing that I was staring blankly into space, he waved in front of me. “What are you thinking about?”
I recollected my thoughts and planted a kiss on his chin. “I’m thinking of how lucky I am to be able to
meet someone like you.”
He replied, “I’m lucky to meet you too, Ms. Stovall.”
After spending some time alone with him, my troubles dissipated, and I felt better. I went back to my
bedroom and received a call from Cameron. She asked me how I was doing and urged me to visit
them.
I explained to her my current situation and promised to visit them the next day. Suddenly, Summer
called out to me from the other end of the phone and chatted with me for a while before hanging up.
Initially, I wanted to take a good sleep, but right after Ashton and I lay on the bed, his phone rang. Upon
answering the call, his expression turned stern as he got up and changed his clothes.
Seeing his reaction, I couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
“There are some problems with the investigation at Lavelian Village. I have to be there.” Upon that, he
packed his stuff, while I changed into some casual clothing and followed him.
He wanted me to stay, but knowing my temperament, he let me do as I pleased.
Then, we rushed to the airport and boarded the last flight. On the plane, we took a brief nap, and when
we reached A City, the sky was still dark. Hence, we went back to the villa and slept for two hours
before going to Lavelian Village.
It had been almost a month since I went to Lavelian Village. Scanning the surroundings, a lot of things
had changed. The construction was completed, as a two-story building was erected from the ground.
Not only that but the roads were also paved with cement to make walking easier and safer since it was
almost winter.
The project was a collaboration between the Fuller Corporation and the Murphy Corporation. However,
now that problems had surfaced one after another within the two companies, everything was put to a
halt.
Ashton parked the car at the entrance of the base, and we scanned the scene. The police officers had
the area barricaded to preserve the scene for further investigation. At the same time, Rachel was
communicating with the police officers, while Armond was nowhere to be seen.
“Mr. Fuller, you’re here.” Upon detecting Ashton’s presence, Rachel came towards us and was in anovelbin
good mood.
Ashton looked at her and asked, “What’s the current situation?”
“The place that Armond transferred the technology equipment was discovered, and the police officers
had it sealed off. They are contacting the Murphys right now.” Rachel glanced at me as she reported to
the man.
Soon after, Linda came to the scene and was rather agitated when she saw me. “Where did you go?
Why is Mr. Murphy locked up in Moranta? What’s going on?”
Things were quite complicated, so I didn’t know how to tell her. After pondering for a while, I said, “It’s
complicated. I’ll tell you everything in detail next time. Anyway, what’s going on here?”
The woman pursed her lips. “I don’t know. Do you remember the time when Fuller Corporation’s
technology got stolen? They were all stored in the underground warehouse. To be honest, I never knew
there was an underground warehouse here after working at the Murphy Corporation for ten years.
Goodness gracious!”
Hearing her words, I glanced at Ashton. Back then, I noticed something was off with the structure of the
base, so I asked Ashton to look into it.
After a while, Ashton said, “Let’s go in and have a look.”
We headed toward the base, and police officers were guarding the entrance. Rachel took the initiative
to talk to them. “This is Mr. Fuller, the president of the Fuller Corporation. We’re here to check on the
technology equipment stolen from us.”
The police officers took a glance at us and said, “To go in, the person in charge for both companies
must be present.”
I exchanged glances with Linda. “We are the Murphy Corporation’s person in charge of this project.
Sorry to trouble you.” With that, Linda showed them her work pass.
After glancing at the work pass, the police officers let us in. The equipment on the first floor was the
same as before. With Rachel guiding us, we went in and headed towards another door.
When I saw the door, I was shocked. It looked exactly the same as the wall. No one would notice it as it
blended in with the wall perfectly.
“Why is there a door here? When was this designed?” Linda blurted out in shock as she furrowed her
brows.
I was shocked as well. However, there was more to come. Following that, a long pathway could be
seen. As we walked down the pathway, we reached the warehouse and saw the stolen technology
equipment.
Rachel said, “It seems like I was right. The equipment couldn’t be transported in such a short time
since they were big and would attract unwanted attention. Even if they were meticulous about the
operation, people would still notice it. So their only way of doing it was to move them here.”
Then she turned to Linda and clapped her hands sarcastically. “My, my, what a brilliant plan by the
Murphy Corporation. Who would’ve known that the equipment would be in a hidden warehouse within
the building itself?”
