Chapter 2306: Nicholas Fuller Gets Caught in the Crossfire

Nathalie Quinlan had seen Marcella Davidson’s notebook, so when she found out in Nicholas Fuller’s office via computer that Zevaney Kingsley happened to select "Semiconductor Light Source Technology," she specifically mentioned it.

She bid farewell to Nicholas Fuller and immediately started investigating this upon her return.

Nathalie spent three days finding the related archives of the experiments at the Research Institute and brought the evidence to Mr. Martin.

However, even if she could prove that someone had mastered "Semiconductor Light Source Technology" 20 years ago, it couldn’t prove Zevaney Kingsley couldn’t have "coincidentally" mastered it 20 years later as well.

This was also what Martin emphasized — Nathalie’s evidence was insufficient to prove that Zevaney’s work was definitely plagiarized.

Nathalie understood this point clearly in her heart.

The reason she came today was not to completely shatter Zevaney Kingsley’s reputation in one blow, but to tell her that theft remains theft. If she wants to steal, she should be prepared to be exposed at any moment!

Today, it was Martin who doubted her.

In the future, there will be countless others who will discover her "secrets."

She will forever harbor her secrets like a rat lurking in the sewers, unable to face the light. After all, a heart burdened by fear of being exposed in the future can be more painful than wounds that bleed instantly.

Martin looked at her, unable to regain his composure for a long time.

Facts proved that Nathalie Quinlan guessed correctly.

Nathan Garland notified Zevaney Kingsley immediately after Martin hung up.

Zevaney panicked when she heard Martin accuse her of plagiarizing someone else’s unpublished work from 20 years ago, but managed to keep her composure.

She immediately sought out Hansel Kingsley and Willy Kingsley to discuss countermeasures.

"Why would Martin suddenly say such a thing?" Willy couldn’t believe that Zevaney’s mishap would come so quickly, furrowing his brow tightly.

Zevaney’s gaze went directly to the elder seated in a wheelchair, pressing her lips together: "I also want to know where Mr. Martin got his information from."

Hansel Kingsley, being so experienced, understood what Zevaney meant. He kept a stern face and said sharply, "I can swear by my life that the content of the notebook has never been leaked! As for why Martin would say this, I have no idea."

"I do not doubt you, sir."

Zevaney still needed to rely on Hansel Kingsley to give her an advantage in the Kingsleys Family, not wanting to offend him at this critical moment.

Seeing his agitation, she mused for a moment and said, "Nicholas Fuller warned me previously not to overstep boundaries."

Zevaney looked at Hansel Kingsley and raised an eyebrow: "Elder Six, do you think Nicholas Fuller might have seen Lynette Kingsley’s notebook?"

Hansel Kingsley indeed had his attention diverted, thoughtfully lowering his head, and soberly said, "I don’t think he has seen the notebook’s contents. But Nicholas Fuller, being the director of The First Research Institute, might know some matters. Therefore, he suspects you, but lacks sufficient evidence to prove you plagiarized others’ work. He can only privately negotiate and warn you. If he really had evidence proving you used others’ work, would he cover for you?"

"No." Zevaney lazily closed her eyes, answering without needing to think.

Hansel Kingsley nodded: "That’s right, he would not cover for you! So, he holds no evidence proving your plagiarism."

"But Nicholas suspected you, thus reached out to Martin."

Zevaney’s face didn’t look good, clenching her fists.

"Nicholas must have spoken to Martin privately. Given their long-standing relationship of decades, if Nicholas personally mentioned you, Martin would certainly give Nicholas face."

Hansel Kingsley, thinking he figured everything out, proudly concluded, "This is the real reason he did not meet with you!"
