Chapter 1378 Taking Sides

Dr. Cole waved his hand and asked Talia to leave after he heard her repeated assurance.

After Talia left his office, he picked up his phone and called Jason to report on the situation. He took the opportunity

to wash the problem off his hands as well.

Jason did not comment after he listened to what Dr. Cole had to say. All he did was acknowledge the situation.

After Dr. Cole put down the call, he touched his chin and thought about it. He could not sense anything from Jason's

tone and wondered whether Luke would take Luca's side once again.

He was not entirely confident.

After Luca left Dr. Cole's office, she went straight to the laboratory. The staff had already cleaned up the mess,

including the broken experiment instruments.

"Is everything sorted out?" she asked.

One of the researchers handed her a few sheets of paper and said, "Dr. Craw, we just checked and these are the

data that have been wiped clean. The computer archive has been completely deleted as well and we don’t know if

it can be repaired."

"Get ready, we’ll have a meeting in ten minutes." Luca did not have to read the contents on the paper to know that

a

lot of data was lost. It was pointless to say anything. The next step was to have a meeting to see if they should redo

the research or find a way to make up for the lost data.

"Yes." Several people responded to her. They took their laptops and walked to the meeting room.

Luca glanced at the papers and then said, "Mr. Link, inform Dr. Cole that there'll be a meeting later."

"Okay," Rhett nodded, turned around, and walked out.

After Rhett left, Luca went back to her office to grab her laptop.

She asked Rhett to inform Dr. Cole as part of the preparation. Luke had the final say on how to solve this issue.

Judging from the missing data that was sorted out, her research would most definitely be delayed.

Luca walked to the meeting room. Dr. Cole had arrived earlier and was sitting in the chairperson seat. She did not

say anything and just handed him the information on the data they lost. "Dr. Cole, this is the data lost in this

incident. Please preside over the situation."

Dr. Cole flipped through the pages one by one and silently praised Talia for her good work when he saw that a large

portion of the important data was missing.

Since the key data was gone, Luca’s previous research was done in vain.

"Dr. Craw, so much data is lost. Do you have a backup?" Dr.

Cole put the papers aside. The more he looked at them, the happier he was. However, he could not show his true

feelings in front of so many people.

"No. If there was a backup, everyone wouldn't be so worried. " Luca glanced at the other researchers.

When a new drug was launched, the company stated that all members participating in the research would receive

a large share of the profits. Now that the data was lost, the research done was all for nothing. If they wanted to

redo the research, the time spent on it previously would all go to waste.

Everyone wanted to get their hands on the bonus as soon as possible...

When Dr. Cole heard her reply, his heart bloomed with joy as he secretly praised Talia once again. He cleared his

throat and said, "On this matter... your only choice is to start your research again from scratch."

"If we redo the research, we need more funds. The research funds given by the company are limited. We won’t

have sufficient funds to redo the research. Dr. Cole, I have to trouble you on this matter. Also, please conduct a

thorough investigation and find out who did this."

"Okay, I'm well aware of what you just mentioned. I can't give you an answer on the matter of funding at this

moment as all the company's research funds for this year have been allocated. Dr. Craw, although you're far ahead

in your research, I have no clearance to allocate other professors’ research funds to you. How about this? I believe

you're

close with Mr. Crawford. Why not mention this to him? Maybe he’ll agree to your request," Dr. Cole said.

Luca looked down. She frowned listening to how he was asking her to talk to Luke in front of so many people and

even insinuated that they were close.

It was fine if he did not mention any of it. However, after he said so, she was fully prepared for what was coming.

The researchers heard Dr. Cole and looked at each other. If there was no funding, they would not be able to go

ahead with their project.

Dr. Cole made it clear that he did not want to be involved in this matter, nor would he step up to fight for them.

Their only hope was Luca...

No one wanted their efforts to go to waste, and they were the same.

Luca nodded and said, "I see. There are still some research funds left. I'll re-do the research. At the same time, I'll

find someone to investigate who's behind this incident."

"Of course!" Dr. Cole felt a little anxious when he heard her calm tone and saw her murderous look. Soon enough,

he calmed himself down.

'Luca is just a woman, there is nothing to be afraid of. She's capable of doing research, but to investigate the truth?

I doubt she has the ability to.'

They were almost done with the discussion. Just as Dr. Cole was about to say that the meeting was over, Talia

knocked on the door and walked in.

Dr. Cole looked at her impatiently and said, "What's the matter?"

"Dr. Cole, Mr. Crawford is here," Talia said helplessly as she stepped aside and pushed the door wider.

Luke walked in.

Luca was stunned. She looked up and met his gaze. 'Why is he here? Even if Dr. Cole had told him about it, how did

he appear so quickly?'

Luke glanced at Luca, who had a surprised expression on her face. He then retracted his gaze and sat down next to

her.

Initially, when Luca saw Dr. Cole sitting in the chairperson seat, she did not want to get too close to him because

she thought it was disgusting that he had a family but was cheating with Talia. Hence, she sat a distance away from

him.

Dr. Cole saw where Luke sat and immediately stood up to give up the chairperson seat. He respectfully said, "Mr.

Crawford, do you want to sit here?"

Luke shook his head and kept his words concise. "It's alright, n

Dr. Cole looked a little embarrassed after Luke turned him down. Luke was rumored to be obsessed with

cleanliness.

'Is Luke disgusted that I sat in the seat? Do I disgust him?’

"Uh..." Dr. Cole felt embarrassed standing but he did not dare to sit down again. He did not dare to occupy the

chairperson seat in front of his boss.

"Tell me what happened." Luke looked at Luca. He was not bothered to relieve Dr. Cole's embarrassment and did

not say much.

Luca was still wondering how he appeared so quickly. When she heard the man, she nodded, stood up, walked

around him, and took the papers Dr. Cole had put on the table. She then passed them to Luke and explained the

situation.

Luke looked at the missing data and listened to Luca's report.

After he left the hospital, he thought of Bianca and Luca, so he thought about going to the office and that was why

he could appear in the office so quickly.
