The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1226

Shannon nodded her head. "Okay."

When she went to lie down on the bed, I went back to the bathroom and continued to wash up.

After washing up, I went out to work.

The investigation into the robbery at the institute had been carried out for many days now but saw no substantial progress. Jordan did not want to rely on others, so he contacted his own people to carry out the investigation.

Theo carried out the project as usual. He was prepared to face the upcoming challenges as well.

Zedd had brought some equipment when he came over this time.

The employees in the institute were installing the equipment, and Elena was guiding them on how to place it.

Seeing me, she glanced at me with a face full of contempt but did not say anything.

I did not know these things, so I could only stand on the sidelines to handle other odd jobs.

The research institute was not fully renovated before this, but now, it was nearly done.

Jordan walked in to say a few words to Elena before going out to lead two workers inside.

The two carried a somewhat large machine and put it on the spot Elena pointed out.

I was a little curious, so I walked over to take a look.

The machine was not connected yet, so I did not know what it was.

"This machine is used to calculate the lifespan of a product."

A man's voice rang out behind me. I looked back and saw that it was Keith.

"Calculate the lifespan of a product?” I was shocked. "That’s pretty awesome."

Keith nodded. "Smart production costs a lot and sells at a high price, so we have to increase the product lifespan as much as possible, unlike small and medium-sized enterprises that don’t operate on such a large scale.”

I stroked my chin. "This machine was smashed by the culprit previously, right?"

Keith nodded. "They smashed those they couldn't take with them, and that’s why the project was forced to stop. Now, the equipment is being brought in batch by batch. It shouldn't be a problem to restart the project again."

She looked unkindly at me after saying that. "Do you know how expensive this machine is? And how hard it was to get our hands on it? Don't you know that?" This was due to my carelessness, so I lowered my head to apologize. "I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose and will be responsible for the damages."

Elena sneered. "It sure isn't the same when you have a man to rely on. All you have to do is say that you'll be responsible for your mistake and that's the end of that."

I was a little speechless.

What else should I do if not take responsibility after making a mistake?

In fact, I knew Elena hated me, so she was not going to let go of the opportunity now that I had done something wrong. She would find fault in whatever I said.

"What do you want, then?" I mildly asked.

Elena said in a cold voice, "Apologize to me.

"I already did."

"You need to be a little more sincere."

Seeing how unreasonable Elena was, Keith said with a frown, "I think the most important thing for you to do now is conduct a detailed check on this machine to see if it’s still usable, Ms. Mandez. Other things are not within your scope of responsibility."
