Husband plans to kill me Chapter 307

After a long, hectic day, I was already feeling frazzled because of Joanna. The party had just ended, and I rushed back to the office to discuss some matters with Asher.

Now, I was starving.

Seeing my state, Royce didn't say much. He just took me to a restaurant.

We chatted while eating, but this time, I was careful not to bring up work.

After a while, Simon called me. "Caroline, where are you right now?"

"I'm having dinner with Royce. What's up?"

"Check your phone. There's a new announcement from a small company..."

What's so special about an announcement from a small company?

I was thinking this when Simon continued, "I looked into this small company a few days ago. It's a new company registered by Alfonso! I've been wondering why they registered it. They’ve been quiet until today. I think this announcement is definitely related to you."

"Think carefully, did you do anything today?"

I didn't do much today, just discussed some future plans with Asher.

But we talked in our office, and no one else was around to hear us.

"Okay, I got it. I'll check it out," I said, hanging up and opening Twitter. Sure enough, a new company had posted an announcement, and it was trending.

I didn't expect an announcement from a small company to cause such a stir!

I clicked on it and saw it was from a company called NexGen Innovations.

This small company was recently established, claiming to be in the electronic technology business.

Their Twitter account barely had any followers, just a few hundred, but this new announcement had tens of thousands of likes and comments.

"How can an ordinary small company get so much attention..."

I was shocked and clicked to read the announcement. It detailed their upcoming business plans.

They mentioned entering the domestic electronic chip market and becoming a supplier for various electronic chips.

The more I read, the more it felt off. The details were eerily similar to what Asher and I discussed today.

Royce, who had moved to sit beside me at some point, asked, "What's wrong? You look upset reading this trending post."

"Look at this," I said, showing him my phone. "You were there today. Doesn't this sound like what Asher and I discussed?"

Royce's face changed as he read. "It’s exactly what you discussed, even the general direction..."

"The only difference is the specific business areas. You only pointed at the documents Asher handed over, you didn’t say them out loud, so they wouldn’t know?"

Royce's guess made my skin crawl. "But how could they know? It was just the three of us. Even if someone was eavesdropping, they couldn’t have gotten such detailed information!"

I trusted Royce and Asher completely. There was no way either of them would betray me. So how did this information get out?

Suddenly, I thought of something.

Grabbing Royce's hand, I said, "Could it be the flowers?"

Royce frowned. "You think there might be a bug in the flowers?"

"That's exactly what I think. What else could it be?"

I was very particular about security at the company. We had a specialized team managing our network firewall, and there were surveillance cameras at all entrances.

After Brandon almost replaced my entire staff, I made significant reforms when I returned. There was no way there was an insider.

"Even if there was an insider, they’d need to be close to hear our conversations..."

But my office was in a secluded area, chosen specifically for private discussions. Anyone passing by would be noticeable.

"I'll have my assistant check the surveillance. If no one was near my office, it has to be the flowers."

Half an hour later, my assistant confirmed that no one had been near my office.

"It really is the flowers," I told Royce after hanging up.

"Why not have your assistant remove them?"

I narrowed my eyes. "Because I want to catch them in the act. I want to see if it’s really them."

"For the next few days, I'll be extra careful when talking to my assistant and others. I need to tell Asher about this."

As if on cue, Asher called, saying he had just seen the trending post and looked into NexGen Innovations.

"It seems Alfonso registered it. What do you think he's up to?"

I chuckled and explained my suspicions and plan to Asher.

"Alright, Caroline. I trust your judgment. I'll come to your office for the next few days. Let's make sure this company pays dearly!"

If they’re so eager to copy our business direction, let them.

Even if it’s a field we haven’t finalized!

After talking to Asher, I continued eating with Royce, sharing my plans.

"I support you. We don’t have any other options right now."

Royce messaged Simon, asking him to help investigate.

"Putting a bug in the flowers, how despicable," I said angrily.

Royce smiled, handing me a peeled shrimp. "Here, eat this."

"Don't worry about it. We'll deal with them tomorrow."

Back home, Royce chatted with Kelly at the door and reminded Brett to study hard before leaving.

Watching his car drive away from the window, I felt a warm sensation in my heart.

"Mom, I'm so glad I brought you here. I get to see you every day now."

I couldn't help but be affectionate with Kelly.

Kelly pretended to be annoyed. "It's fine to say it occasionally, but every day? You’re too much, kid..."

But I knew she loved hearing it.
