Josiah was taken aback. Why was Isaac suddenly asking him this?

Was it a good thing or a bad thing?

His instincts told him to keep the matter a secret.

“I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about," Josiah replied.

“We simply talked and caught up with each other."

Isaac's face darkened.

That day, Camila had used the word “urgent™ when she went to meet Josiah.

Their meeting must have involved something very important.

That meant that Josiah was lying.

“Do you know that Camila was apprehended because she leaked valuable data from Madeline? Tell me, who did you hand that data over to?" Isaac spoke through gritted teeth. It was all he could do not to lash out and rage at the other man.

He needed to keep a level head if he wanted to come up with a plan to save Camila.

The fact that Josiah was lying to his face was no help at all, but Isaac managed to stifle his fury.

“What did you say?" Josiah asked in surprise.

“No, that can't be. I made a deal with the people at Hammaslahti. They were supposed to do the study in secret and only publish it once they had created a successful prototype..."

“Well, they did announce it to the world. Didn't you know?" Isaac showed him the published article. "It's gained a lot of attention."

Josiah read it, his expression changing from one of shock, to horror, then finally, anger.

“Those bastards did not keep their word! They threw Camila under the bus!"

“So you know nothing at all?" Isaac snapped, frustrated at how unreliable Josiah was with such sensitive matters.

This research must be done in secret, not announced for the entire world to gawk out. They were practically setting themselves up for a possible disaster.

What would happen if they eventually failed in getting favorable results? They would be humiliated!

“Brainless bastards!" Isaac cursed.

“Is Camila in any danger?" Josiah asked, fully comprehending the seriousness of the situation.

"Yes." Isaac's eyes flashed. "Whom did you give the data to?"

“The Vice-President of Hammaslahti. What can we do to save her?" He was concerned about Camila, too.

Isaac wasn't sure what to do next, at last not yet.
