Jacob''s face contorted with anger. He clenched his teeth and red fiercely at M as if he wanted to


    devour her. However, he held back from provoking her too much because she was pregnant. "How


    dare you call me a waste of space?" Jacob seethed with rage.


    He pointed at M and continued, “Listen, Wanda Hoffis, by disrespecting your superior like this, you


    are not fit to work on the military base, let alone in Team B."


    M remainedposed as she sat watching Jacob''s outburst.


    Jacob grabbed the files and passed them to the other professors, saying, "Take a look at these. Can


    anyone understand what she''s doing? They''re just a jumble of random data.”


    Watching Jacob pass around the confidential documents, M warned, "Don''t meddle where you''re not


    supposed to."

    Jacob smirked in response. "Why are you so defensive now? Are you afraid that if people see this


    messy data, they''ll realize you''re cking off?"


    M ced her hands on her stomach and took a deep breath. Her documents were circting within


    the department, but many were puzzled and couldn''t make sense of them at all.


    When Joe and n, two senior professors, looked at the documents, they exchanged surprised


    nces and then stared at M in disbelief.


    They promptly handed the papers back to Jacob and urgently advised him, "Mr. Lyons, take this data


    back to Wanda quickly."


    "Does anyone know what kind of research she''s conducting?" Jacob asked.


    Joe and n, the only ones familiar with hydronium research, remained silent. However, other voices


    rang out.


    "l couldn''t make heads or tails of it."


    “It seems to be some sort of substance, but I''m clueless about it."


    “It''s intriguing but way over my head."


    Jacob smirked as he tapped the files against his palm. With a sense of victory, he announced, "Wanda,


    with this useless research data, your disrespectful conduct toward your superior, and a week''s


    absence, I have enough reasons to let you go."


    “Let who go?" A deep, authoritative voice echoed from the doorway.


    All eyes turned toward the entrance upon hearing it. It was Nathan who spoke. With amanding


    presence, he entered the room, followed by Fenna and Cole.


    Nathan''s arrival brought tension to the room, and everyone greeted him with respect, "General


    Morrison, good morning.”


    Nathan nodded in acknowledgment.


    Jacob nervously approached Nathan with a warm smile and respectfully greeted him, "Good morning,


    General Morrison. What brings you here?"


    Nathan''s attention had been on M since he entered the room. He felt heartbroken seeing how upset


    she looked.


    Meanwhile, M''s head sank in frustration and difort as she saw Nathan entering the room with


    Fenna. Only M and Nathan had ess to the hydronium research report.


    It was clear she hadn''t leaked it, so she couldn''t help but suspect Nathan of being the source of the


    leak. However, she refrained from jumping to conclusions about why or how it happened.


    "Mr. Lyons, who are you thinking of letting go?" Nathan asked casually.


    Jacob quickly handed over the report he was holding. "General Morrison, take a look at these. These


    are Wanda''stest research directions. They''re full of falsified data.


    "She hasn''t contributed to any project research. That''s why I believe she''s just idling around the military


    base while being paid by the government.”


    Nathan quickly scanned the document before handing it back to Jacob. "Keep the report and handle it


    ording to regtions.”


    With General Morrison backing him up, Jacob felt even more confident than before.


    M stared at Nathan in disbelief. She couldn''t understand his intentions.
