waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 86 Rebecca was surprised and sat up straight . " The first time it happened ? When was that ? " " Two months ago . " " Roderick ! " Rebecca slammed the table in frustration . " You really know how to keep your cool , huh ? The company isn't just yours . You're supposed to discuss things like this with me , you know . " Roderick glanced at her . " The company isn't just mine , but I'm the one who built it up . " Rebecca shrank back again . Fine , he wasn't wrong .

She remembered her dad telling her , from years ago before she Chapter 86 joined the group , that the company had faced several crises , and Roderick had single - handedly pulled them through every time . He even created quite a legend in the industry back then . That's why many of the old - timers are still willing to follow Roderick so loyally . " Keep talking . What's the deal with the branch office ? Did you find out who it was ?

" " Two months ago , after I found out someone was leaking company secrets , I had several different versions of a report made for people in various departments . The changes were subtle , but they differed when it came to key business metrics . " Rebecca frowned . " Process of elimination ? " " Mhm . " He raised an eyebrow , looking quite pleased with himself . " The version from the branch office wasn't leaked . The leak came from the main group . If Madeleine really stole it from the branch office , it wouldn't add up ." Chapter 86 " You devil ! " Rebecca was amused .

With something this big happening , his first reaction wasn't about the company's loss or catching the mole , but about clearing his wife's name ? Wow , Roderick , you're really something . He's so in love . " So the information was leaked from the main group ." " Right . " Roderick nodded , a triumphant smile playing on his lips . " Originally , the process of elimination could only rule out a few people . It would have taken more time to find the real culprit . But now ... " The smile on Roderick's face slowly vanished .

" Not many people knew about the new product's promotional plan ." Rebecca looked at Roderick's expression , silent for a moment , then couldn't help but feel bad for her friend . Chapter 86 " Roderick , Roderick ... if you hadn't insisted on investigating this on your own , Madeleine would've taken the fall for being the mole . You do all this for her , but does she even see it ? " " Why wouldn't she ? " Roderick raised an eyebrow , saying confidently , " She cares a lot about me now . " " Cares about you ?

" Rebecca looked like she'd just heard a joke and couldn't stop herself from laughing out loud . Roderick didn't get angry . An image of Madeleine looking jealous earlier today popped into his head . It was cute . " Did you just come from eating New England Food ? " Roderick : ? " You must've gotten food poisoning from the wild mushrooms . " Roderick : ... He huffed , not ready to give up . " Let's make a bet . " Chapter 86 " Alright , a bet . " Rebecca jutted her chin toward the phone on Roderick's desk . " Call Madeleine . Tell her you got into a car accident on your way over .

" " What are we betting ? " " The usual . Money ." Rebecca was obsessed with money ; why else would she be after Roderick's job all the time? Their bets usually started in the millions , but this time Rebecca held up one finger . " Ten million . " Roderick didn't say a word . He just picked up his phone and dialed . Ring ... Ring ... Ring ... Chapter 86 With every ring , Roderick's expression darkened a little more , while Rebecca's smile grew even wider . No answer . She didn't pick up ! " Pfft , hahahaha ! Pay up , pay up . Roderick , Roderick , you knew you were going to lose .

Why'd you even take the bet ? " Rebecca leaned in , holding her palm out for the money . " And the moral of the story is , never be a gambling degenerate . " Roderick's face fell . He grumbled as he transferred the money , " She was probably just busy and couldn't pick up . " " Right , right , she was busy . I totally believe you ~ " Gleefully accepting the transfer , Rebecca had barely had a moment to enjoy it when the phone on Roderick's desk began to ring . Rebecca peeked over nervously . The call was from Kirsten . She breathed a sigh of relief .

Chapter 86 Roderick picked up the phone , put it to his ear , but immediately pulled it away and put it on speaker after hearing the voice on the other end . His tense expression completely relaxed . " I broke my phone ~ " Madeleine's lilting voice came through , though it was muffled , as if she were chewing on something . " It was ringing forever and I couldn't answer , it was driving me crazy . I had to borrow Kirsten's phone to call you . What's up ? " Roderick didn't say anything .

His expression changed in a flash like Sichuan Opera's face - changing art as he looked up , his gaze toward Rebecca full of smug triumph . See ? I told you my wife really cares about me now .
