Chapter 545
Nathan was willing to explain. His only fear was that Mila would misunderstand him even more if he did.
Just when he wasn’t sure if he should speak, Phoebe suddenly blinked at him and asked, “General Morrison, are you really avoiding Mila’s calls and even turning off your phone?”
Suddenly nervous, Nathan blurted out, “My jacket was with Fenna’s and my phone was in my jacket pocket.”
Mila’s face grew sour. She didn’t expect him to care so much about Fenna. She pressed her lips together, breathed deeply, and looked gloomily out the window.
Phoebe paused briefly before she asked, “Did Fenna turn off the phone on purpose?”
“I asked her, but she denied it,” Nathan replied.
“Do you believe Fenna?”
“Believe her or not, I have no proof she did it.”
“Still, this is really out of line,” Phoebe muttered unhappily.
Nathan looked at Mila nervously. His eyes were filled with deep regret. The atmosphere in the car fell into silence again.
Suddenly, Mila turned around with a steely look and held her hand to Nathan. “Give me your phone.”
Confused, Nathan handed the phone to Mila. She rummaged through the car’s storage compartment, found the data cable, and connected the phone to her tablet. “What’s the password?” asked Mila.
Fascinated by what she was doing, Nathan leaned over to Mila and whispered, “Our anniversary.”
Mila paused for an instant. Cole and Phoebe thought it was sweet and couldn’t help chuckling. Having entered the password on the phone, Mila went to work on her tablet.
She wrote a few lines of code and extracted the data and commands from the phone for that day. After a few steps, she placed the tablet before Nathan. “Have a look at this.”
Nathan’s eyes were on the strings of numeric codes on the screen.
It looked like a jumble of numbers, but he could make out a few words within the lines of code as he studied them more closely. It indicated that a “power off” command had been issued at the specified date and time.
Phoebe glanced over and clicked her tongue. “So, it didn’t turn off automatically. Someone pushed the off button. This is hard proof.”
Nathan looked furious as he leaned back in his seat and stared ahead without blinking. He suddenly realized how foolish he had been to think that Fenna wouldn’t affect his marriage. It had been so ironic.
When they arrived at the Morrison Residence, Mila exited the car and headed straight into the house. Phoebe politely said goodbye to Nathan before hurrying to catch up with Mila.
Nathan watched Mila’s silhouette intently, lost in his thoughts.
Cole didn’t start the car. Worried, he asked, “General Morrison, this incident hasn’t affected many things, and it’s been over a month. Are you still planning to hold Fenna responsible for this?”
This incident not only caused Nathan to miss the birth of his child. It also shattered Mila’s trust and love for him, leaving their marriage hollow. Nathan wasn’t one to forgive easily.
He closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat. With a cold tone, he instructed, “Don’t wait for Fenna to be transferred. Report the incident to the Intelligence Agency and suspend her for investigation.”
Flustered, Cole turned to face Nathan. “General Morrison, isn’t this excessive? Fenna isn’t a spy or a threat to national security. Bringing in the Intelligence Agency could seriously harm her career.”
