Chapter 68 Catching The Adulterer


    "Randy, are you out of your mind?" Casey stood up immediately, trying to push


    him away.


    But Randy refused to back down, still trying to get closer.


    In the end, it took two male colleagues from our department to drag him out, and the dinner ended on a sour note.


    While settling the bill, Casey angrily muttered, "He''s seriously messed up. I don''t think he''s even talked to you more than a few times. What''s his problem?"


    Honestly, I don''t think I''ve exchanged more than ten words with Randy either, so I had no idea he harbored such resentment toward me.


    I heard he graduated from a professional design school and even had a bit of a reputation before he switched jobs.


    But after joining Carson Group, where top talent was everywhere, he quickly lost any edge he once had.


    Everyone here was from elite schools, stacked with awards and honors.


    Even Casey had taken part in major international design projects. Her resume and skills were equally impressive. It was no surprise that Randy felt bitter.


    He clearly had a strong sense of male superiority, and seeing women in leadership positions must''ve been unbearable for him.


    Not to mention, he seemed to get along well with Vivian.


    "Wait. Where''s Dous? I was hoping to catch a ride with him," a female colleague suddenly mumbled.


    That was when Casey and I noticed someone was missing.


    A male coworker said he saw him go to the bathroom, so we didn''t think much of


    it and just took a cab home together. But the next day, chaos hit the design department.


    As soon as I turned on my workputer, I realized it had been infected with a virus. Pop-ups and junk files kept flooding the screen. Even when I tried to close them, nothing worked. Theputer soon froze entirely.


    When I finally rebooted and logged back in, all the data was gone. Even the files for several important projects had vanished.


    And I wasn''t the only one. Other coworkers''puters were also hit by the virus, though to varying degrees.


    I quickly turned on myptop. But as soon as it booted up, it was also flooded with junk emails, and its data was erased. I instinctively forced a shutdown.


    Ellen, looking flustered, asked, "Ada, what do we do? So many files are gone...*


    I was stunned. I had backed up the files, but only on my personalptop.


    Now that bothputers were wiped, I didn''t know what to do.


    The project with Elitara Group was nearly finished. Without the final designs, everything woulde to a halt.


    After thinking it through, I decided to reach out to Dorian to meet up.


    Carson Group''swork had always been secure. They invested heavily in cybersecurity every year. For something like this to suddenly happen in the design department, it reeked of sabotage.


    Before leaving, I instructed the design team to pull up the surveince footage


    and preserve all the data they could. We couldn''t afford to lose any more.


    Everyone was panicking a bit, but thankfully, they were handling things in an organized way.


    When I met with Dorian, I exined what had happened.


    "Should we call the police?" he asked, hesitating.


    Starting a major project with an incident like this definitely wasn''t a good sign.


    Dorian said, "No, I think we should investigate internally first. And also..."


    I responded, "Dorian, you need to leave. Now."


    Pe suddenly burst into the room, startling both of us.


    She grabbed Dorian by the arm and tugged him up. "Go. Take a right outside the


    door and use the staff exit. I''ve already arranged it."


    When he hesitated, she pushed him out. "Go! Don''te back."


    Then she shut the door and sat down in his seat, slipping the documents he had been reading under her.


    Chapter 68 Catching The Adulterer


    Before I could process what was happening, the door mmed open again.


    "Ladies and gentlemen, it''s time for today''s cheating special! I''m here to expose Carson Group''s Mrs. Carson and her dirty secrets!" A shrill voice pierced the room as a woman stood in the doorway, filming us with her phone.


    I recognized her instantly. It was Bethany.


    Her phone pointed at me and Pe, and her whole body froze.


    Bethany asked, "You... both of you? Where''s Mr. Huxley?"


    Pe, annoyed, pushed her phone away. "Who the hell are you? Security? Where''s Security?"


    Clearly not expecting things to turn out this way, Bethany stood stunned, not even stopping her recording.


    Pe didn''t hesitate. She grabbed the cup from the table and sshed it all over her.


    She snapped, "Get out. How dare you stir up trouble in my restaurant? Are you insane?"


    Now I understood why Pe had rushed Dorian out. She had sensed someone was trying to set us up.


    I gave her a grateful nce, but she rolled her eyes at me.


    I said, "Bethany, if you don''t want me to call the police, get out. Stop disturbing our meal. I know you''ve been targeting me for your best friend''s sake, but this is nder, and I will press charges."


    I got up and tried to push Bethany out by the shoulder, but suddenly, she lost it. She shoved me hard.


    She snapped, "No way! I saw Doriane in. You two are definitely cheating! You have an affair while still married! Ada, you''re disgusting!"


    Bethany tore around the room like a madwoman, looking for evidence. Security rushed in and tried to drag her out. But she broke free and grabbed my arm.


    She continued, "No! You came here to meet him. I know it! I''m going to expose you!"


    Her hand gripped my wig just as the security guards pulled her back.


    Suddenly, the whole world went silent. She yanked off my wig.
