Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 284: Caught Stealing Documents

"I have to catch a plane tonight with Lucas, so I won’t delay anymore, goodbye."

After Serena Summers and others left, Sean Wynn and Charlotte Summers also left work one after the other.

After a busy day, Charlotte Summers was extremely tired, thinking that she could ask Serena for some sleeping pills, but she hurriedly left.

She walked out while massaging her neck.

Sean Wynn followed behind her, unable to resist complaining: "Look at your delicate self, really can’t handle even a little hardship. I’ve told you before, you need to exercise more..."

Charlotte Summers turned around coldly and looked at him, "Mind your own business! I’ve never suffered since I was little, do you have a problem with that?"

Sean Wynn stiffened and immediately raised his hands in surrender, "I said the wrong thing, please don’t be angry. How about, let me massage your shoulders?"

Sean placed his hands on her shoulders and began kneading forcefully.

Not too light or too hard, Charlotte Summers was caught off guard until a sharp pain made her cry out loud.

"Ah! Sean! Do you have a grudge against me?! You’re almost crushing my shoulders!"

Sean Wynn withdrew his hands innocently, "I, I didn’t mean to, are you okay?"

Charlotte Summers glared at him angrily, "Get away, don’t touch me, I suspect you bear a grudge against me."

Sean Wynn awkwardly touched his nose, filled with guilt. He just wanted to show some concern, but always ended up messing things up.

The noise from their quarrel gradually faded, leaving Emily Green alone in the office.

She bowed her head, silently continuing her experiments.

About ten minutes later, she slowly lifted her eyes, her gaze landed on the cabinet where Serena stored the experimental data, her eyes shimmering slightly.

She tiptoed over, rummaged through the pocket of her white coat, and took out a piece of wire, ready to pick the lock.

The wire probed inside the keyhole, and finally, with a "click," the lock opened.

Emily Green quickly opened the cabinet door and took out the files that Serena had placed inside.

The laboratory was eerily quiet, only the sound of flipping papers could be heard.

She held the files in one hand, and with her phone in the other, took pictures of the data and sent them to a contact labeled "G" on WhatsApp.

Originally getting close to Liam Shaw abroad was a premeditated plan.

Although Professor Parker was a renowned medical expert in his home country, he had made no progress in researching the toxins in Lucas Shaw’s body.

The organization was growing impatient, so they arranged for her to be close to Liam Shaw, gain his trust, and become a member of his research team.

For years she had disguised herself well because she had made no moves.

Because Liam Shaw, deemed extremely talented in medicine by Professor Parker, had also been at a loss regarding the toxins.

Just as they were despairing, Serena appeared.

Her appearance gave them a glimmer of hope.

It’s a pity that Serena is always very meticulous and never delegates tasks, leaving her no opportunity to intervene.

From beginning to end, she only got her hands on it once.

After finishing taking the photos, Emily Green prepared to put the files back. However, just as she opened the cabinet, a sound came from behind her.

—It was the sound of the door being pushed open.

Immediately thereafter, she heard a crisp, pleasant voice, "Sister Emily."

Emily Green stopped abruptly, freezing in place, her body trembling with fear.

As she slowly turned around, her pupils constricted at the sight of the newcomer.

Serena Summers and Lucas Shaw, who were supposed to have already boarded a plane to leave, were standing outside the door.

Besides them, Liam Shaw, Sean Wynn, and Charlotte Summers were also present.

It turned out they hadn’t left at all, and everything just now was done to catch her off guard.

"You, you all..."

"You were supposed to have left, weren’t you?" Serena Summers crossed her arms, completing Emily’s sentence.

Emily Green came to her senses, looking at Serena with a hint of fear in her eyes, "How did you know?"

Emily Green had always believed her disguise was perfect, never imagining she would be exposed one day.

Because everyone in the laboratory trusted her completely, which was something she took great pride in.

"In fact, I didn’t suspect you initially. Mainly, you just couldn’t keep calm," Serena let out a cold laugh, and her gaze at Emily Green carried a bit of mockery.

In fact, she never suspected Emily Green because of her calm nature and the care she showed.

She was simply flawless.

But it turned out, the least likely person, was the one they were looking for.

Emily Green, dazed, squeezed the file in her hand, her fingertips starting to turn white, "So this was a trap you set, just waiting for me to fall into it? But how did you know I would act today?"

Liam Shaw’s expression darkened slightly as he pressed his lips together, his voice chillingly cold, "Before we pushed open this door, we also suspected Sean Wynn and Charlotte Summers. There are only four of us in the lab, apart from me, there are just you three."

"As for why we were sure you’d act today...naturally because the people backing you are getting impatient," Serena chimed in.

Emily Green’s pupils shrank abruptly, "You knew there was someone behind me?"

Serena walked up to Emily, took the files from her hand with her pale, slender fingers.

She lowered her gaze, and under Emily’s astonished and confused eyes, slowly turned to a marked page, pointing at the inside, "Every file I handle, I make some small marks inside, sometimes it’s the size of a knuckle’s hair, sometimes it’s a fingernail sized piece of paper..."

Emily Green’s heart sank sharply, "So, you knew I had tampered with your files before?"

Serena slowly nodded her head, "I didn’t speak up before because I wasn’t clear on what the person who moved the file wanted to do, but now I know."

How intelligent is Emily Green? She quickly understood the key point, "There’s something wrong with that file?"

In an instant, everything became crystal clear.

No wonder the organization said the potion developed from that file had issues; it was wrong from the beginning.

It wasn’t her being careless, it was just that Serena seemed too harmless.

Not only did she have the most delicate and appealing appearance, but her clear and distinct eyes also made people easily lower their guard.

When Serena claimed she had developed an antidote, without thinking, she opened the cabinet and took photos.

She never considered that Serena might have a contingency.

Her gaze slowly settled on the file in Serena’s hand, her heart sinking again, "So, this file is also fake?"

"Not exactly. Half is true, half is fake."

Serena no longer wasted words with Emily Green, took the files and left the laboratory.

Lucas Shaw said, "Leave this to you guys; I and Serena will head to the airport now."
