Chapter 1539Keegan observed the triumphant figures on stage with a wry smile.
"You cheeky rascal. I've been asking for that new Frontier drone for ages. You couldn't bear to let me use it even once, but youlet Stella use such a high-end gadget for this? | see you're prioritizing love over our friendship," Vermont muttered under hisbreath.
Keegan shot him a glance, "And what would you do about it? n
"| would escort Miss Bandit to work. Duh. Sounds cool, right? " Vermont defended himself.Keegan gave him a disdainful look.
“What's that thing?" Felicity asked curiously.
Vermont explained, "It's a new drone developed by Keegan's company. It has biometric recognition, target locking, and trackingcapabilities. It was originally meant to assist search and rescue teams, but Keegan let Stella use it to catch liars. Quite the waste,isn't it?"
Felicity's eyelids twitched at that, 'Didn't he just say he was going to use it to escort me to work? How dare he mock Keegan? Butthat's not important right now.’
"Mr. Kane, did Stella know there would be trouble today?”With all this evidence prepared so thoroughly, it was clear she was onto them.Keegan shook his head, "It was just a suspicion. We weren't entirely sure, but we took extra precautions.”
Two weeks ago, Maggie called Stella the day after she finalized her design. She told her that someone had flipped through thedrafts she had left on her desk.
Stella quickly accessed the surveillance footage from the design room. Interestingly, the camera had been messed with and waspurposely not directed at Maggie's desk.
Hence, it was impossible to determine whether her things had been tampered with.novelbin
However, Maggie was certain that it happened. When she went out for lunch, the pen resting on the folder had no cap on. Whenshe returned, the cap was back on.
Stella did not know how to handle the situation. Launching a thorough investigation without evidence might only lead toresentment from other staff members.So, she called Keegan.
After hearing the situation, Keegan offered her a piece of advice, saying, "Designers and developers share a common trait; theypay great attention to detail. This is because details often determine the success or failure of one's work. So | think you shouldtrust her despite the camera not capturing the incident."
The leak of the design drafts was no trivial matter. The press conference timing had already been set, and it was impossible tocreate something better in that short time.
Moreover, it did not make sense forthem to change their design when their designer was the original creator.
Keegan added that there was likely someone intentionally trying to frame them. Stealing the design drafts was just the first step."The other party would probably make the next moves, so we need to be extra vigilant," he said.
Both Keegan and Stella were exceptionally cautious during the days leading up to the conference.
It was not until two days later that Maggie received a call from Barbara, asking her to bring over some things she had left at thecompany, that things took a turn.
