CHAPTER 313
Lilian covered her mouth in shock. Her eyes darted toward Adrian, trembling at the realization.The hacking team looked at him like he wasn’t human.Adrian stared at the screen without surprise, his expression darkening just slightly.Of course.Of course, it was them.And if it was the Guild…Then the one pulling the strings…The one who framed Gerald…The one who wanted Sophia cornered…It wasn’t a mystery at all.Adrian’s jaw tightened, his fingers curling slowly into fists.Lucien.Adrian stood from the chair slowly, his shadow stretching across the glowing monitors. The room was silent as every hacker stared at him like he had just rewritten the laws of reality.He turned to the nearest specialist, a young man who had been silently watching with wide eyes.“Compile the full trace report,” Adrian said. His voice was calm, cold, controlled. “Everything. Every IP hop. Every server loop. Every manipulated log. I want it in a single file.”The hacker nodded so fast his glasses shifted
CHAPTER 312
Adrian stepped closer.“I’m competent in my department,” he said, voice steady. “You’re the one who needs help. That’s why I’m here.”A hush fell over the assistants.Mr. Han’s smile dropped.“You think you can do what I can’t?” he asked, incredulous. “If, with all my qualifications, experience, and specialized equipment, I submitted a report saying it would take a week, then what makes you believe you can do better?”Adrian met his gaze without blinking.“Because I'm certain of it.”The arrogance in Adrian's tone irritated him.The older man stood from his chair.“Stop this nonsense,” he snapped. “Go back to whatever post you hold upstairs. I’m only being polite because the vice president is here.”Adrian took one more step forward, the cold lights reflecting dangerously in his eyes.“Let’s make a bet then.”The room stilled.Mr. Han crossed his arms. “A bet?”Adrian nodded.“If I can hack the system and trace the origin within one hour… You will forfeit your entire salary for a year
CHAPTER 311
“And Gerald Aldridge is being tried when?”“Next tomorrow.”The room went silent.Adrian tapped his fingers once on the desk. “Lilian… I thought Rhein Group hired some of the best hackers in the country.”“We did,” she said softly. “And they are the best. But whoever framed the Aldridge family… they didn’t use commercial-level tools. This is next-level engineering. Military-level cloaking. Even our elite team can’t break it in twenty-four hours.”Adrian shut the folder with a soft thud.For a moment, he sat there, his head lowered.“And there’s no other way to clear Gerald before the trial?” he asked.Lilian hesitated. “Not unless the hacker responsible steps forward.”Adrian exhaled through his nose. “That won’t happen.”“No, sir.”Then Adrian looked at the folder again… and an idea flickered in his eyes.“What if,” he murmured, “I did the hacking myself?”Lilian stared. “Sir… you?”Adrian stood suddenly, pushing the chair back. His expression hardened.“Yes,” he said, turning to her
CHAPTER 310
For a moment, the entire world froze.Sophia stood there, eyes wide, breath trembling, Lucien’s demand echoing in her skull like a gunshot.Then her expression hardened and her jaw clenched."Never.” she barked.Lucien blinked, almost amused. “Sophia—”“I said NEVER!” she snapped, stepping back from him like his touch was poison.“You think I’m stupid? You think this is some opportunity for you to crawl into my life?”Her voice trembled with pure rage.“You’re not here to help. You’re here to take advantage of us. You want to use my father’s suffering to trap me!”Cameras flashed violently, capturing every second.Lucien tilted his head slightly, eyes narrowing with a cold patience.Sarah suddenly stepped forward shaking with fury.“You monster!” she cried. “Get away from my daughter! You dare stand here and talk about marriage while my husband is being dragged inside like a criminal?!”Lucien didn’t flinch.But Sophia wasn’t done.She jabbed a finger into his chest.“You’re not a sav
CHAPTER 309
It was Malvin.He jogged across the pavement, breathing hard, wearing a worried expression that was so perfect it could win awards.“Oh thank God I got here in time,” he panted. “I came as soon as I heard.”Sarah grabbed his arm desperately. “Malvin... what is happening? Who’s behind this? Who hates us this much?”Malvin lowered his head slowly.His voice dropped into a grave whisper.“Adrian.”Sophia’s entire body stiffened.Elena gasped.Sarah’s eyes widened.“Adrian?” Sarah repeated, almost choking on the name.Malvin nodded quickly. “I heard the regulators whispering his name. They said he... he pulled strings. He used his new political connections."Sophia’s face contorted with shock and then pain.Then a rage so deep it shook her shoulders.“He… he wants us to beg him,” she whispered.Malvin nodded softly. “Yes… Exactly.”Sarah trembled violently. “That bastard! Why won't leave us alone?”“He wants revenge,” Sophia spat through clenched teeth.Sarah wiped her eyes, voice trembli
CHAPTER 308
The Aldridge mansion woke to chaos.Dozens of black SUVs tore through the front gates with a violence that shook the ground. Tires screeched across the marble driveway. Uniformed officers in dark tactical gear spilled out like a swarm of shadows, rifles slung over their chests, bulletproof vests stamped with a cold, metallic emblem:F.C.R. – Federal Commission of Regulation.Sarah rushed out first, still in her morning robe, hair slightly messy, eyes wide.“What is the meaning of this—?!”She didn’t even finish her sentence.The commanding officer raised a gloved hand.“Federal investigation. Step aside.”Sophia stormed out next, barefoot, fury blazing in her eyes. “Who the hell are you people?”The lead officer stepped forward, voice flat. “Gerald Aldridge—by Order 17A of the International Financial Crimes Mandate—you are under arrest for:Treasonous financial dealingsSanction evasionFunding a shell corporation linked to criminalsAnd illegal siphoning of federal credits.Sophia’s
