Vivian's mood was now chaotic and complicated.
The rumors circulating outside labeled her as a "spy," and given the timeline, she was indeed the most likely suspect.
She could imagine that the R&D department probably thought the same way.
Without solid evidence to prove her innocence, it would be difficult for her to continue her work at MFC, let alone participate in core research and development.
She knew that if everyone suspected her, relying solely on Jerome's support wouldn't be enough, and it might even make MFC's already precarious situation worse.
However, if she chose to return to the Car R&D Center now, it would indirectly confirm the suspicions of the public, akin to "fleeing in fear."
Therefore, only by finding evidence herself and identifying the real spy could she solve this series of troubles.
Jerome, seeing Vivian silent for a while, thought she was intimidated.
