Mission To Remarry novel Chapter 908

Chapter 908 Senior Employee

In the research area, the researchers had just regained their composure from the fire incident earlier and got back to work. When they saw two people walking in, they stopped what they were doing in unison.

With a grim expression, Roxanne swept a glance at everyone and asked, “Did anyone come to the research institute yesterday afternoon?”

Coincidentally, the surveillance cameras were down, so Roxanne could only assume that someone had gone over at that time.

As soon as those words fell, everyone exchanged glances with each other silently. Yesterday was a Sunday. It was such a good opportunity to rest at home. So why would anyone come to the research institute without a reason? Besides, she’s asking questions that has something to do with the fire. Even if someone was here, why would they admit it?

Suddenly, Roxanne was exuding a fearsome aura as she threw a cold glance at everyone. “I have no desire to suspect anyone here, nor can I think of a reason why an employee at the research institute would do something like this. However, the truth is that the person responsible for the fire is someone from the inside. Hence, I would like to know who that person is. Please step forward and don’t cause the other employees unnecessary trouble.”

After that, she added coldly, “The fire caused a huge loss to the research institute. When I find out who’s responsible, I’ll have no choice but to press charges. However, if that person is willing to come forward now, I think there’s still room for negotiation.”

Everyone lowered their heads when they saw the look in her eyes.

In an instant, pin-drop silence ensued and the only sound left was of the boiling liquid in the research area.

“Ahem!” Colby suddenly cleared his throat to defuse the tension in the air.

At that precise moment, one of the male employees shuddered.

However, Roxanne didn’t notice it because she had shifted her attention toward Colby.

Colby started slowly, “I’ve been hiding something from you. After hearing what you said, I think I ought to spill it. This is for the sake of that person.”

With that, he raised his head and looked at everyone.
