Bye, My Ex-husband Chapter 84: Only A Three-Day Investigation

"If I killed you, there would be blood on my hands.And it's not worth it."

Rayan took out a handkerchief from the inside pocket of his suit and used it to clean his hands as if
Janessa were a filthy animal.

After that, he threw the handkerchief down to Janessa and turned to take a seat on the sofa.

"Do you think I'm dirty? If that’s how you see me, then why didn't you feel disgusted with yourself when
you had sex with me so many times? You're ridiculous!"

She couldn't help but recall the way he abused her on their wedding day.

The memory was so vivid in her mind as if it happened yesterday.

If she was dirty, then there was no chance he would be clean.

Janessa stood up and threw the handkerchief into the trash can.

When she threw out the handkerchief, she suddenly noticed the pattern on it.

In the home she shared with Rayan in the past, she recalled similar handkerchiefs to his.

It was an ordinary handkerchief, except for the subtle moon pattern stitched onto it.

Gracie was fond of that pattern.

Either it was Gracie's, or Rayan had it specifically designed for her.

It was the handkerchief Rayan held dear to him because it reminded him of Gracie.

How could he throw away something like that?



"This conversation is not over.Don't avoid the issue! You've leaked the trade secret of the company and
destroyed our partnership with the Gu Group.The Lu Group had to compensate for breaking the
contract, and now, the company was facing a huge debt.This time, not even my mother can protect
you!"

He hated the fact that Janessa always turned to his mother for assistance.

Now, no one would dare to back her up.

"What makes you think I did it? You put me in charge of this project.What good would it do for me to
sell the company out like this?"

She could understand why Linda would judge her this way, but Rayan was different.

He was the sole decision -maker and successor of the company.

How could he pass the same judgment onto her? There was no reason for Janessa to leak the plan.

It would only put her in harm's way.

Her reputation and career would be destroyed by this scandal.

Why would she do such a thing if those things were at stake? I Janessa hoped that Rayan would be
able to assess the situation objectively, but she was mistaken.

His prejudices against her had clouded his judgment.

How could he decide for the company based on his personal feelings? "It's obvious that someone is
backing you up.Janessa, I don't think you can escape this.Don't be naive.How would you explain the
fact that the document was uploaded from your computer?"

No matter what Janessa said, Rayan was determined to believe that she was the culprit.



It didn't help her case that the document was indeed uploaded from her computer.

Earlier that morning, the results of the investigation were forwarded to him.

Everyone in the Lu Group had confidential information stored on their computers.

The company required everyone to set a unique password for their computers that only they knew.

That way, they could ensure the security of the documents inside the computer.

Janessa was the only person that could log in to her computer.

How could she deny that she was responsible for this mess? "I wasn't inside the company all
weekend.I only came to work today.How could I leak the document? You were with me on the mountain
climbing trip all weekend.Can't you see that this doesn't make sense?"

As expected, Rayan didn't believe a word she said.

Still, she couldn't bear these false accusations.

Janessa had to do something to solve this.

She needed to find out who leaked the document.

"You're right.I was with you the entire weekend, but I noticed that you were restless all day on
Sunday.You were also canoodling with someone," Rayan countered.

How could Rayan accuse her like this? He knew she was restless because she was worried about
Alana.

He sent her to the hospital that day, but now he claimed that he didn't believe her? Janessa had no
clue what to say to get him to listen.



"Do I have to keep repeating myself? You put me in charge of this project, and I wouldn't betray the
company and let this become a stain on my professional record.Since no one wants to believe me, I'll
have to find someone who can prove my innocence.Just wait and see."

Janessa knew that it was pointless for her to argue with him.

He wouldn't listen unless she had proof.

In that case, she would find the evidence and prove her innocence.

‘Gracie, I'll make sure to get you for this one, ' Janessa thought to herself.

She had a hunch that Gracie had hired someone to operate her computer in the office that night or to
hack into it from somewhere else.

"Why should I give you a chance to prove your innocence? How can I know that you won't take
advantage of my trust again?"

Rayan knew that Janessa only came into the office that morning, but she would have hired a computer
expert to do this on her behalf.

"I'll make sure to find out who was behind this.I need the time to prove my innocence.If I can't find out
who leaked the plan in time, then I promise to take full responsibility for it."

Someone had to take responsibility for this mess, no matter what happened.

Rayan was sure that Janessa was behind this, but she continued to deny her involvement.

The more she argued with him, the more suspicious she would look.

In the past, Janessa had agreed to divorce him if he allowed her to work in the Lu Group.



It was difficult for him to believe that she was up to nothing.

The determined look on her face however, made him doubt his judgment.

If someone else was behind this, could he deal with the consequences of falsely accusing Janessa? If
Janessa were the culprit herself, she wouldn't be able to present anything useful even she investigated
and then he would still do as he planned.

"I'll give you only three days to fix this mess.If you can't find the culprit, then you have to take
responsibility for this.I'll hand you over to the Gu Group.As for what they'll do to you..."

He hesitated before he spoke.

"I need five days.Even the technology department can't figure out who leaked the information, so the
culprit must be an experienced hacker.I'll tell you who was behind this in five days,"

Janessa negotiated.

Whatever happened in the next few days would determine her fate.

Once she started, there was no going back.

Three days wouldn't be enough for her to find the culprit.

If he didn't agree to her request, she wasn't confident that she could give him an answer after only
three days.

"No, you only have three days.If you can't give me an answer, then you'll have to face the
consequences,"

Rayan warned in a low voice as he stood up to leave.



Janessa had no doubt that if she couldn't figure this out, Rayan would do as he promised.

When he left, Janessa breathed a sigh of relief.

After collecting herself, she stood up and followed him out of Linda's office.

The moment the two came out of the office, many curious eyes were fixated on them.

Rayan merely ignored them and left without another word.
