Chapter 507
Since Alvin was part of the Turner family, and Bowen held shares in Bree Technology, it seemed that Bowen was trying to strike before Bree Technology became strong enough to pose a threat to the Turner Group.
Everyone had their own theory.
Following Aubreeโs instructions, Bree Technologyโs PR department moved fast. First, they addressed the privacy issue head-on, stating clearly that a mole planted by a rival company had attacked their servers internally. Thanks to safeguards, no real data had been leaked. The released information was fake, nothing for the public to worry about. Second, they published a dismissal notice for Patrick, head of the tech department.
No names were mentioned directly, but given the timing, the implication was obvious. Patrick was the mole, and they had already dealt with him.
Far away in Rithol City, Aubree finally relaxed. The mole had been caught.
She looked outside. She hadnโt slept well the night before, worried about Nina and the mole situation. All morning, sheโd waited for Birgitteโs update. It was nearly noon. She hadnโt eaten, and her brain was running on fumes. Aubree forced herself to stay focused and called Bowen. โBowen, any updates on Nina?โ
Bowen replied, โWeโve confirmed her location. Weโre heading there now.โ
Aubree let out a breath of relief. At least she was safe.
โSend me the address. Iโm coming too.โ
Bowen knew her well. If she didnโt go, she wouldnโt be at ease and would work herself into a frenzy. โOkay, but donโt drive yourself.โ
He knew she hadnโt rested and still had company matters to handle.
Aubree smiled faintly. โGot it.โ
Once she had the address, she asked Vincent to drive her there directly.
Meanwhile, at Wilson Group.
Bryan slammed down his phone. Patrick had been exposed.
His face went pale. That meant all their plans had failed. Worse, if Patrick confessed it was all orchestrated by Wilson Group, theyโd be in deep trouble.
Right then, his assistant came in. โMr. Wilson, hereโs the latest info on Bree Technology. Also, the chairman is furious. He wants you in his office immediately.โ
Bryan was annoyed. He knew heโd just get chewed out. โTell my dad I have other things to handleโฆโ
โHandle what?โ
The office door burst open. Carmen followed Ronald into the room.
Ronald immediately began yelling. He was enraged.
The assistant, sensing danger, wisely slipped out and closed the door behind him. Ronald was about to chew out Bryan, and it was best to give the guy a little dignity.
Bryan said, โDadโฆโ
Ronald snapped, โDonโt call me dad! Look what a mess you made!โ
Aubree was enjoying the Wilson familyโs internal chaos. After catching Patrick, she dug Ronaldโs number out of her blacklist. She told him that she only found the mole thanks to Bryanโs phone call.
First, it was to spite Bryan and give him a taste of defeat. Second, since Carmen wanted to take over Wilson Group, Aubree was more than happy to help her up the ladder. Bryan was her main rival. The more mistakes he made, the smoother things would be for Carmen.
Ronald asked, โSo it was you who called Patrick and got him exposed?โ
Faced with Ronaldโs interrogation, Bryan gritted his teeth and lowered his head. โYesโฆ When all those fake leaks came out online, I justโฆ wanted to ask him what was going on.โ
Carmen said, โBryan, you really shouldnโt have. Itโs such a sensitive time. How could you contact Mr. Steward?โ
Carmen sighed theatrically. "We almost had Bree Technology back in our hands. But now Dadโs been missing Aubree so much. Still, donโt be too hard on Bryan. He only did it because he cares.โ
Her tone sounded like she was mediating, but it was actually pouring fuel on the fire, constantly reminding Ronald that, if it werenโt for Bryan, theyโd already have reclaimed Bree Technology.
