Chapter 861

Chapter 861 “Mr. Wickam, something happened!” Thomas’ voice was completely different from his usual calmness.

Elisa’s brows twitched slightly. She held her breath subconsciously and paid rapt attention.

“What happened?” Gareth’s magnetic voice was steady.

It was as though Thomas calmed down slightly, but he couldn’t restrain his panic. He immediately said, “Our company’s confidential information has been breached!”

Gareth’s expression instantly turned ice-cold. He said at once, “Investigate. Get people to switch to the second program right away.”

“They’re doing it now, but I think the hacker has completely breached the first program.”

Gareth’s expression was icy, and he didn’t say anything.

They had driven out from Wickam Manor and were about to turn a corner. The left was the way to the office, while the right was Elisa’s house.

He turned left.

Elisa didn’t say anything. Wickam Group was in trouble, so she obviously couldn’t make a fuss and ask to go home.

Furthermore, they only had one car between the two of them.

Not long after, they reached the office.

Gareth led Elisa to the IT department.

The IT department had set up the new program and was defending the company against attacks.

At that moment, Thomas was also there. When the IT department saw Gareth arrive, they became more nervous, but they didn’t dare to stop what they were doing.

Thomas walked to Gareth’s side and told him exactly what had happened.

“We were suddenly attacked. It seems like the hacker came prepared, and they did their research. From the current situation, it seems like there’s a mole in the company.”

Gareth’s gaze instantly turned sharp. Everyone in the IT department was in a frenzy.

A mole.

That was what they surmised. The IT department defended the company and knew about the classified information. They were the most likely to betray the company and steal information.

The IT department was terrified at that moment. They weren’t the rat, but they had a guilty conscience for some reason. They were afraid that their boss would suspect them.

However...

They weren’t the only ones thinking about it. Elisa was thinking about it too.

Elisa’s brows furrowed. Gareth knew she had previously cracked the company’s classified information, but what about the rest?

If there were a rat, she would likely be one of the suspects.

The hacker who breached Wickam Group’s defenses must be very skillful. They might even blame her.

Although Elisa’s skills were among the best in the world, she didn’t feel she was at the top. There was always going to be someone better out there.

Furthermore, the mole might want to steal more confidential information from Wickam Group. They might push the blame onto Elisa so that they could stick around.

Elisa stood at one side and didn’t say a word. She felt that she should avoid arousing suspicion, so she didn’t intervene to help.

It was just that...

Before she could think about it, Gareth turned to look at her. “Come and help.”

Elisa’s brows twitched slightly. Did he think that she didn’t know how to do it? Or was he trying to feel her out through this?

After a moment’s hesitation, Elisa went over. When the IT department saw Gareth asking Elisa to come over, they were all slightly stunned.

Gareth walked to an employee who immediately stepped aside.

Elisa walked to Gareth’s side, while the employee by Gareth’s side didn’t intend to move away. Instead, he stared at the computer in front of Gareth. He wanted to see how Gareth would deal with it.

But... he didn’t see what Gareth was doing and felt a peculiar gaze instead. Gareth turned, and their eyes met.
