Chapter 1381 Talia To Take The Blame

After Mo returned to the office, she notified Talia that Dr.

Cole was looking for her.

When she heard that, Talia walked out of her office immediately.

She knew that Luca had organized a meeting but the only people who participated in the meeting were those in Luca’s research group and Dr. Cole. However, Dr. Cole did not reach out to her even after the meeting ended.

Talia was very anxious and worried about what would happen, so she had been waiting for his call.

She quickened her pace and ran into Luca at the elevator entrance. She was startled and greeted her with her eyes cast down. "Dr. Craw, good morning."

"Good morning." Luca looked at Talia and could not help wondering if she was involved in the incident.

Talia listened to her calm tone as if she was not at all anxious about what had happened. Her emotions were a little unbalanced. She asked, "Dr. Craw, I heard about what happened. If you need help, just let me know and I'll do all that I can to help you."

"Thank you for your kindness." Luca did not accept or refuse. She continued walking after thanking her.

Talia turned around and glanced at her. The worries in her heart grew.

The calmer Luca was, the more restless she felt. She walked quickly into Dr. Cole's office.

"Close the door." Dr. Cole reminded her when he saw Talia walk in.

Talia closed the door, walked to his side, and asked, "Dr. Cole, what's Dr. Craw's plan to deal with this situation?"

'Mr. Crawford is here. Did you know that?" Dr. Cole did not answer her question.

Talia nodded. As soon as Luke appeared at the company, the employee group chat went off. Upon receiving the notification, everyone pretended to be working hard so as not to be caught by the boss.

"He made it to the meeting and told me something." Dr. Cole looked at Talia's face and shook his head. He was regretting being seduced by her.

She was not particularly beautiful but her young body was what he was obsessed with.

"What did he say to you?" Talia had a bad feeling when she saw that there was not a trace of a smile on Dr. Cole's face.

Dr. Cole said, "He asked Mr. Doyle to investigate this matter. If there’s no clear conclusion on this matter, he told me that I have to take the blame."

"How is it possible? This incident did not happen in our research team. Luca should be the one to take the blame!" Talia's eyes widened in disbelief.

Dr. Cole replied with a sharp tone, "He made it clear that I would have to take all of the responsibility and Luca would get to stay out of it. Talia, if Mr. Doyle doesn't find anything, I'll have to send someone from our team to take the blame.'

Talia understood what he meant. She clenched his fists with both hands. "Dr. Cole, I did this but you can't expose me."

"I don't want to, Talia. Trust me, I’ll protect you." Dr. Cole could only coax her for the time being.

However, Talia was not a three-year-old child who could be coaxed so easily. She said, "Dr. Cole, how are you planning to protect me? Whether Mr. Doyle finds out or you expose me, no one can protect me. I’m not the only one involved in this matter, you're involved as well. In the end, it doesn't matter if Mr. Doyle finds out. You have to take responsibility alongside me!"

She knew how it would end for her if others found out what she did. Such a sacrifice meant that her career would be ruined in the second half of her life.

'Dr. Cole wants me to take all the blame to save himself? Don't even think about it!’

When Dr. Cole heard that she wanted to drag him through the mud with her, he said with a sullen expression on his face, "Talia, I'm helping you. You were the one who did it!"

Talia's emotions were agitated at that moment. However, she suppressed her emotions as she was still in the office. She looked at him with red eyes and said, "Dr. Cole, I did it but it was as per your instructions. If I’m fired from Watson

Biopharmaceuticals, you won't be safe as well. I have a recording!"

When Dr. Cole heard that, he stood up with his hands on the tabletop. He was agitated and yelled, "What recording do you have?"

"I have a lot of recordings. The recordings of us in bed and the recordings of the things you asked me to do. If I post these recordings, you'll lose Watson Biopharmaceuticals, your wife, and your social status. I'm not threatening you. I just had to protect myself when I got together with you," Talia said with a hideous expression on her face.

Since she had decided to make use of her body to get a good job, she covered her grounds to prevent being betrayed by him in the future.

Talia knew that these recordings would come in handy sooner or later but did not expect they would come in handy so soon.

"You!" Dr. Cole did not expect that he would be plotted against by a young woman. His original plan was to have Talia take the blame for it.

He was extremely angry but could only go along with her." Okay, don't worry. Jason may not be able to find out about anything. Let's go with the flow."

"What if he finds out?" The answer Talia needed was not to go with the flow. She wanted his guarantee. Text content © .

"Did you leave any evidence?" Dr. Cole was a little nervous.

"Of course, I didn't leave any evidence. But if anyone finds out, don't think about getting away scot- free," Talia said. She wanted to lay it all out. She knew that an old fox like him who had been in the corporate world for many years was not easy to deal with.

Dr. Cole was beyond furious. If he knew that there would be so much trouble, he would not have agreed to her request back then.

He was backed into a corner now.

"Okay, you didn't leave any evidence so he definitely won’t find anything out." Dr. Cole had no choice but to say that. He had to put some thought into how to get away from it without being dragged through the mud.

Talia wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, hating herself for choosing the wrong person.

Not only did she not get the chance to go to New York but she also faced the risk of being abandoned and fired at any time. Dr. Cole took all the benefits while leaving everything else for her to deal with.

The more she thought about it, the more disappointed she was.

"Okay, don't cry. Others might think that I bullied you when you go back to your office later." Dr. Cole grabbed some tissues and handed them to her.

Talia wiped away her tears in silence.

On the other side, Luca walked into the laboratory and found that the logistics department was already there. They were ready to clean the scene.

Luca stopped them. "Don't start cleaning yet."

Several of them looked at her with confused expressions. One of the researchers said, "Dr. Craw, we can't work without cleaning up first."

"Wait a moment. Mr. Doyle has already arrived. He’ll come over to take a look at the scene. Maintain everything just as it is. It’ll not be too late to clean up after he finishes his observation," Luca said. When she was in Luke's office, she noticed that it was Jason who called Luke.
