Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 446

"What you mean is the tender document we lost was sold to different people?" That deal was unethical!

Chet nodded.

"In this case, we are caught in a predicament. Initially, except for the other bidders, no one else would know the full extent of the bid! But when the results were finally announced, many of the key requirements shown on the screen became pixelated, there was no choice but to change the result of the bid. There were also more than one reviewer and they are still looking for accountability, it's almost turning into a laughing stock. However, a discerning person will probably know what’s going on at a glance. These people are cutting corners and applying a cookie-cutter approach. I don’t know why this is happening...," Chet explained.

"Could it be a virus?" Frederick uttered. Chet shrugged his shoulders.

"We know that it is a virus, but why did problems only affect a few of them? Obviously, the organizer is not responsible for this, but the bidders! Those bids were submitted from different computers. How did they all get the same problem?"

"Was it on the flash drive?" Suddenly, Frederick remembered that Alicia had asked him to trust her, yet she didn't explain clearly.

It seemed she had been preparing for that!

Frederick and Chet exchanged a look, then Chet nodded, "I think so too."

"So, the reason behind all this was for the money."

It was just that this person was relatively intelligent. He didn’t leave any trail leading to himself. Instead, he took part in the bid as well. However, he probably never expected that the few buyers would make a mistake at the same time.

As a result, the person's trump card was exposed. Selling trade secrets was disgraceful and even prohibited. The person's greed had let him dig his own grave.

That person most probably had a good grasp of his situation and movement. Moreover, that person also understood the situation of Alicia's parents, and was short of cash.

Who could it be?

In a moment of enlightenment, two names popped into his mind. They were Danica and Jeremy.

However, at the same time, he was also a bit skeptical.

Frederick drummed his fingers lightly and asked, "Is there any update on what those drugs were?”

"We managed to analyze a part of the composition. Preliminary results suggested that it' s made up of materials commonly found in the industry. Master Vives said it's made by an expert and has a complex formula. There's an antidote now. The drug can be easily reproduced in small laboratories, so there's no point tracking its origins. However, the developer of the compound must have a strong chemical or medical background. At present, we have no known target!"

"Who do you think will benefit the most from this?"

"Miss Randolph!”

Chet blurted out the words almost without hesitation. In an instant, Frederick's gaze froze. He had been thinking the same as well.

"Why not Jeremy?"

"Frederick, are you still unwilling to accept... that she has changed?"
