Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 1379

"Are you sure that the computer's backup data can't be repaired?" Luke asked. His tone was still calm after such a serious incident.

The research progress of the new drug was disrupted, and the expected profits would be affected as well. However, he seemed to be indifferent.

"I’m not certain. We have to wait until the relevant technicians check on it to know for sure," Luca said. She returned to her seat and quietly moved her chair farther away. She thought that it was best she kept a distance from Luke. The farther, the better.

"The company is going to go through a comprehensive upgrade of the system and the team will have their hands full with that. If you know some talents who are skilled with computers, feel free to make a recommendation." Luke flipped through the data, his expression still flat.

Luca smiled upon hearing his words, and she replied, "Mr. Crawford, I don't know anyone like that. Maybe you can ask the other staff and Dr. Cole."

Luke was turning the page and paused. ‘She doesn’t know anyone skilled in computers?’

He put down the papers and folded his hands. Even though he was not sitting in the chairperson seat, he was full of vigor and appeared more powerful than Dr. Cole. "I have a general understanding of what has happened. I’m certain this was done by internal personnel. I’ll get Mr. Doyle to investigate. I’m not familiar with the research process. Dr. Craw, do what you believe is best. All I want is to see a product that can be circulated in the market as soon as possible."

When Dr. Cole heard that Luke did not blame Luca, he was taken aback. He rubbed his hands and thought that everything he did was for nothing.

Luca glanced at Dr. Cole's reaction and said, "Mr. Crawford, the budget I applied for before for the project was just right, but now that the research needs to be redone, I need more funds."

"Give me a detailed funding application report." Luke did not turn her down.

When several of the employees heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief. They could continue with their study if they had the funds. Their time was wasted but the profits were still in sight, which was good enough for them.

"Okay, after the application form is completed, I’ll hand it to Mr. Doyle," Luca said. He arranged for Jason to investigate the incident, so it was not an issue to pass him the funding application form.

"What else?" Luke asked.

"That’s it." When Dr. Cole heard that not only did Luke not blame Luca but even agreed to allocate additional funds for the project, he was bewildered. He had managed the situation before he arrived for fear that Luca would say something that would put him in a bad spot.

Luca kept quiet. She looked at the laptop in front of her.

She was surprised that Luke did not put any blame on her on this matter.

Luke nodded, stood up, and said to Luca, "Dr. Craw, come to my office."

Luca was startled. While she was thinking about what Luke was going to do, she stood up and was about to leave with Luke. Just then, she heard him say, "Dr. Cole, cooperate with Mr. Doyle in his investigation. Otherwise, you’ll be responsible for the accident."

When Dr. Cole heard it, he was gobsmacked!

What he understood from what Luke said was that if the real culprit was not found, he would lose his job...

With his resume, it was not a problem for him to work at other pharmaceutical companies or even to teach at a university. However, if Luke used this as a reason to dismiss him, he was afraid that it would be very difficult for him to find a good job in the future...

He knew that the senior executives who were fired by Luke either moved to another city or went to work in small companies.

Dr. Cole did not answer. Luke turned around, looked at him, and asked, "Dr. Cole, is there a problem?"

"No… No. Mr. Crawford, although this incident was caused by someone within the company, there are a lot of people with access to the lab. It won’t be easy to find out who did this..." He shivered.

Luke's gaze was cold as he replied, "Mr. Doyle will investigate this matter, you just need to cooperate with him."

Luca was taken back. His thank you was too rusty but it also fit his current status.

She felt quite uncomfortable, but she nodded and said, "You’re welcome."

"Do you like Tommy?" Luke asked again.

"Tommy is adorable. Who wouldn’t like a kid like him?" Luca replied. She chose not to answer his question head-on.

"Tommy's biological mother doesn't like him," Luke continued talking, his deep-set eyes observing her every expression.

‘Biological mother?’

Luca found his word choice a little strange. "Do you mean Mrs. Crawford? Tommy is so cute, why would she not like him?"

"Do you think Bianca is his biological mother?" Luke asked.

Luca's heart was trembling. She was not sure how to answer. She nodded and then pretended to be puzzled. Fortunately, she had already learned acting and was no longer the woman who would panic whenever she was close to Luke. "You mean, Mrs. Crawford is not Tommy's biological mother? Who is his biological mother?"

"Tommy's biological mother is Bianca," Luke said.

Luca looked down and did not say anything. She thought that there was some hidden meaning behind his words.

‘Does Luke already know that the Bianca by his side is a fake? Is he suspicious of me and wants to feel things out?’
