His voice trembled, his face turning pale with sadness.
“Do you also suspect me?”
But Lucinda remained silent, wholly focused on her work at the keyboard.
Nathan’s heart sank, his eyes welling up with tears.
“I didn’t do it.”
Gripping his fists, he endured the immense pain that engulfed him.

Even if the entire world doubted him, it didn’t matter. All he wanted was for Lucinda to believe in him.
Finally, Lucinda finished her task and looked up at him.
Seeing the disappointment in his eyes, she rose from her seat and walked over to him. Tenderly, she brushed his sad face and reassured, “Of course, I know it wasn’t you. I never doubted you for a moment.”
Clearly, someone was trying to drive a wedge between them.
If Nathan had really wanted to plagiarize the project, he wouldn’t have to make his subsidiary to unveil the identical plan.
The projects of his subsidiaries were relatively independent, and they didn’t require head office’s approval for internal affairs.
It seemed that the culprit knew Nathan couldn’t interfere with the subsidiary’s decisions and took advantage of it.
Nathan felt much better after hearing her words. Holding her hand, he said, “I’ll look into this matter myself.”
Lucinda nodded in agreement.
“The project was released by your subsidiary company, so I need you to investigate it. As for how the project information was leaked from here, I’ll conduct my own investigation.”
As they launched their investigations simultaneously, Lucinda and Nathan hoped to soon uncover the truth behind the plagiarism.
Nathan, however, couldn’t help but worry.
“You promised to explain everything in the meeting room in half an hour. But it’s difficult to find out the truth in such a short time.”
Lucinda smiled gently and leaned in to ki*s him on the lips.
“Don’t worry. I can handle it.”
Her eyes exuded confidence and calmness.
He pressed his face against her soft hand, feeling content and delighted by her trust in him.
Half an hour later, Lucinda reached the entrance of the meeting room, where a cacophony of voices emanated from within.
