What the general manager said got Rhett at a loss for words.
It was not about picking the right person or not. The research had only gone smoothly because of Luca and the
research team's efforts.
The general manager noticed the subtle change in Rhett's expression. He cleared his throat and continued, “Since
you're always with Dr. Craw, you must have participated in the whole process of the research, right?"
"Yes." Rhett nodded, waiting for his next sentence.
The general manager cleared his throat, lowered his voice, and said, "Then you must have seen all the research
data?"
"General Manager?" Rhett pretended to be confused, but he knew what the general manager was up to.
The general manager smiled and replied, "Mr. Link, you've seen all the data, right?"
"Yes, but there's a large amount of data. I can't remember them all." Rhett had no choice but to nod and admit it.
He was responsible for helping Luca to handle the data files. Hence, he had seen all the documents.
However, that did not mean Rhett could remember them all. Even if he could remember them, he had to say that
he was not able to remember everything.
The general manager shot him a suspicious look and asked, "Can you try your best to recall them?"
"General Manager, why should I recall them? I can ask Dr. Craw for the information if you need it." Rhett

However, Rhett was not going to do that.
The general manager misunderstood what Rhett meant and immediately replied, "Really? Can you help me get the
information from Dr. Craw? Oh, but you can't mention that it's my orders."
"No, General Manager. The information is only available to those working in the department. I'm sorry." Rhett had
to disappoint the general manager just when he was secretly rejoicing.
The general manager was dumbfounded.
After that, anger was written all over his face. "Rhett, I'm the general manager of this company. I can give you
whatever you want, but at the same time, I can make you lose your job too."
"Are you planning to fire me?" asked Rhett. Even if he were to be fired, he would not betray Luca.
Besides, Luca would stand up for him too.
"If you bring the document to me, not only will I not fire you but I'll also give you a sum of money." The general
manager tried both the soft and hard approach. He refused to believe that a subordinate would be so loyal.
Rhett shook his head and replied, “Although I have no idea why you'd like to get your hands on those documents,
you'll have to discuss it with Dr. Craw first before you fire me. If Dr. Craw doesn't agree to it, you can't fire me
either. As for money, I'm not short of it. I can learn more about what I'd like to learn by staying with Dr. Craw."
"You're not going to help me?" The general manager did not expect that his methods would not work on Rhett.
"I'm sorry, General Manager." Rhett stood up. "If there's nothing more, please excuse me. I'm leaving first."
"You..." The general manager got terribly angry that his face reddened. Rhett, the person in front of him, was the
one who helped Luca the most at work.
"I'll forget everything you said to me today once I walk out of this door. Of course, I'll also accept it if you decide to
punish me." Rhett bowed to him, turned around, and left.
The general manager slammed the desk!
What Rhett said to him in the end deeply affected him.
There was nothing he could do to the employees in the research department, including researchers like Rhett. Even
though he could use his rights, Luca would certainly stand up for such a loyal subordinate and mention Luke's
name. That would make him look insignificant as a general manager.
Luca got into Warren's car and headed home.
Her phone vibrated for a while.
Luca lowered her head and glanced at her phone. It was a message from Rhett. He told Luca everything that
happened to him in the general manager's office.
Luca knew the general manager called Rhett to his office to get the document he wanted.
She was not stupid.
However, why did the general manager go to such great lengths just to get his hands on the document even if it

Luca frowned. She could not figure out what the mastermind behind the general manager was up to.
"Dr. Craw, we've arrived." Warren's voice rang out.
"Okay. Thanks." Luca pushed the door open and got out of the car.
The moment Luca took off her coat when she returned to the villa, Tommy stepped forward and said, "Ms. Luca,
hurry up and stop Ms. Vivian. She's moving out."
"Vivian's moving away?" Luca's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that what Gordan said had gone too far? Was that
why Vivian wanted to leave?
Luca put down her briefcase and hurried upstairs.
As Luca's silhouette disappeared at the staircase, Lanie, who was beside Tommy, spoke, "Ms. Vivian already
explained it to us, but you're still making a big deal out of it."
“I heard that Ms. Vivian went to see the bad guy, Mr. Gordan, today. Even though she didn't say anything about it,
I'm pretty sure the reason Ms. Vivian wants to move out is because of Mr. Gordan. I like Ms. Vivian so much. I don't
want her to move out!" Tommy pouted his mouth and said.
Lanie was rendered speechless. Vivian wanted to move out only because she was about to start her semester soon.
Their home was far away from the school. Besides, she had her own accommodation. After things had been
settled, she would be able to move back there. That was why she would not stay here and disturb them.
However, what Tommy said had made their mother completely misunderstood...
