Chapter 817
However, because of the lawsuit against Locket Tech, the Lockets and Shaws didn’t have time to dwell on the online discussion any further.
Since Velotra had filed a lawsuit demanding compensation, they would undoubtedly apply for an asset preservation order as well.
After reviewing the copy of the complaint, Harvey immediately contacted the company’s legal director and lawyers. He also contacted Locket Tech’s technical team and had them return to the company to conduct a thorough review with Wynn.
They also began compiling their development logs, version records, Git commit history, and other evidence documenting the development process.
After checking the online posts, Wynn immediately headed to Locket Tech. However, after spending the entire night going through everything with the company’s technical team, Wynn’s expression grew increasingly grim.
There were indeed certain elements unique to Velotra’s code that appeared in their company’s code exactly as they were.
They had also poached a programmer from Velotra the previous year. And the reason they had recruited him was indeed that some of the technology Velotra had developed was compatible with their company’s work.
However, they hadn’t given that programmer any particularly important role.
Even so, some of the algorithmic parameters and specific coefficients in the technology their company was currently using were indeed identical to Velotra’s.
The results left not only Harvey but also Lilian with grim expressions.
By then, dawn had already broken outside. Not a single person in the Lockets and Shaws had managed to sleep.
Patricia and Erin were also waiting for the results. When they heard what they had found, their expressions changed as well.
They all understood that if Velotra actually won the lawsuit, they would really have to pay more than two billion dollars in compensation. But their actual losses would certainly be far greater than that.
Once Harvey’s accounts were frozen and their cash flow was cut off, not only would all the money they had invested go down the drain, they would also have to
compensate their business partners to some extent.
Lilian’s expression darkened. “Wynn, contact Trevor.”
Wynn understood as well. If they didn’t handle this properly, it could bring catastrophic consequences to both the Lockets and Shaws. She didn’t dare waste any time.
She glanced at the message she had sent before dawn. Trevor still hadn’t replied. Wynn lowered her eyes, but she still called him.
The call went through, but she soon heard that his phone was switched off.
Wynn ended the call and checked the group chat. It was still completely silent. There wasn’t a single new message.
In the past, whenever she ran into trouble and couldn’t get ahold of Trevor, she could always send a message in the group chat and ask Beck or Miles.
But now…
Seeing that Wynn couldn’t reach Trevor, Patricia and Erin grew even more anxious.
Ruby was starting to panic. Unable
to hold back, she asked, “Trevor didn’t say a word after the banquet. And now we can’t reach him at all. What does he What does he mean by this?
Could it be that he really intended to break up with Wynn?
Ruby wasn’t the only one thinking this. The others had thought of it as well. However…
Lilian said, “He probably has a lot to deal with right now. It’s normal that we can’t reach him.”
The events at the banquet had been posted online. The Fleming Group, the Fleming family and, Trevor’s other companies were probably all waiting for him to deal with the fallout.
He was probably even busier and more overwhelmed than they were right now.
Wynn thought so too.
Before they could come to any conclusion, they discovered that Harvey’s bank accounts had already been frozen However, they soon discovered something even worse.
Velotra hadn’t only sued Harvey. Wynn, Lilian, and several other members of the
family had also been named as co-defendants.
So, their bank accounts were frozen as well.
