Chapter: 1853

These red indicators were unmistakable. The data was identical.

“What do you want to say, Klein?" Alberto inquired.

At that, Klein shifted his gaze from the screen to Karen, noting her fierce glare. A flicker of disdain crossed his eyes before he faced Alberto, setting his pen aside.

"I didn't leak any data this time, Mr. Gibson," Klein stated.

"And how do you explain this?" Alberto pressed.

In response, Klein turned his attention to Rachel, who had remained quiet.

Rachel lifted her head to meet his challenging gaze, a hint of provocation evident in his eyes.

She gripped her pen more tightly without realizing it.

Sensing the tension, Alberto leaned in towards her and whispered, “Are you feeling okay?"

Rachel was taken aback, not expecting Alberto's concern.

"I'm alright," she reassured, nodding her head while still aware of Klein's stare. She braced herself, knowing Klein's next words might be damaging, her heart racing with anxiety.

"If you're not comfortable, you can leave early," Alberto offered gently.

"No, I can stay."

Seeing Alberto's reaction, Klein remained silent. He glanced at Klein, signaling for an explanation.

"It's true, Mr. Gibson, I oversee these data. But I'm not the one who leaked it," Klein asserted.

Karen couldn't resist mocking him. “Really, Klein? That sounds pretty contradictory. You're in charge of the data, so who else would Leak it?"

Klein shot Karen a frosty look. “Sure, Karen, you might not be able to access my data, but that doesn't mean others can't. Ever since this issue came up, you've been quick to blame me, yet you've got no proof. Why not consider other possibilities?"

"You..." Karen bristled at Klein's insinuation of her foolishness.

"Fine, then tell me. Who else could it be, if not you?"

"Mr. Gibson," Klein said, turning to look at Alberto and then at Rachel. “And Rachel."

This revelation left Karen and everyone else speechless.

"None of us can access each other's data, except for Mr. Gibson and Rachel. They both have access to all the data," Klein continued, not making eye contact with Alberto but focusing on Rachel.

Karen asked, "What do you mean, Klein? Are you suggesting Mr. Gibson leaked the data?"

Klein looked at her as if she was missing the obvious.
