CHAPTER 145
Darius flinched. Just hearing Sean’s voice and seeing the hard look on his face caught him off guard. For a moment, he froze, startled, but the instant he realized it was Sean standing there, his shock vanished, as if he hadn’t heard anything at all.He straightened, forcing a calm expression onto his face. “Young man… why are you slandering me like this?” he asked, his voice tight but controlled.The beeping from the computers grew louder, filling the room with an urgent cacophony. Sean ignored him, eyes fixed on the screens. He knew if he gave Darius any attention, the virus would spread even further, making it a nightmare to deal with later.There was no way he was going to sit back and let Darius dump more work onto him.“I’m going to take care of the virus first,” Sean said evenly, his tone leaving no room for argument.Darius’s face darkened. He slammed his hand onto the desk, leaning forward. “Stop! Don’t act like a hero now! I’ve finally identified the issue, and you’re just…
CHAPTER 144
Upon hearing that, Sean could officially conclude that the man wasn’t a great hacker or anything of the sort. He might be competent, but he didn’t seem among the best. There was no way a true expert wouldn’t recognize what the software was—it was something well known.‘Perhaps it looks different from the others,’ he thought, nodding to himself.His mind didn’t even consider that Darius had just claimed to have installed something into the computer that would allow him to hack it from anywhere.Seeing everyone stunned, a smirk curled across Darius’s lips. As long as he could maintain that impression, he would make them doubt the other man they had relied on and ultimately gain control of the software.Abrill watched him closely. Then her eyes flicked to Sean, who looked calm, unbothered by the accusation. Taken aback that he wasn’t reacting, she realized the software probably wasn’t the kind Darius claimed it was.“And how do you know it hasn’t already been used?” she asked calmly.Dar
CHAPTER 143
Sean’s gaze immediately fell on the man sitting in front of the computer. Since he had heard Abrill on the phone, he hadn’t expected the man to be there already, causing trouble. For someone, Abrill’s brother had called, but he didn’t seem capable.Greg’s eyes darted toward Abrill, urgency written all over his face.“Yes, Ms. Stroud. There’s a situation,” he said quickly. “He’s planning to redo the whole setup and remove the protection device on the computers. I tried to stop him, but he said he was sent here by your brother, and there’s nothing I can do to stop him.”Abrill frowned. She had come to inform the man that the case had already been settled, and he needed to leave, not that he had been trying to interfere without even inquiring about the situation. She had no idea how to deal with him.“Are you Ms. Stroud?” Darius asked, one brow arched.She nodded, meeting his gaze. “Yes, I am.” Stepping closer, she scanned him carefully. “I heard my brother sent you here, but as you can
CHAPTER 142
The car came to a halt. Sean glanced at Abrill, about to ask where they were headed. He was ready to turn the wheel and go back to a place where he could actually resume what he had been doing. He wanted to know if she had anything else planned so he wouldn’t have to be called back, leaving his work unfinished. He tried to settle it once and for all.“Where exactly are we going?” he asked.Abrill opened her mouth to answer, but her phone rang. She glanced at the screen, frowned slightly, and said, “Just… drive forward. I’ll take this.”Sean nodded and kept the car moving.The caller ID read Sister. Abrill couldn’t think of any reason her sister would be calling, but from experience, she knew it was probably to dump work on her—after all, she seemed to be the one everyone offloaded tasks onto these days. She hesitated before finally swiping to answer the call.“Hello?”“Abrill, it’s me,” her elder sister’s voice came through, urgent and sharp.“I know.”“Your brother sent someone to
CHAPTER 141
Sean looked at her. He wasn’t even surprised. She wasn’t going to believe him when he said he was the one who had done it. She had looked down on him so much that she convinced herself she had done something she hadn’t.It was almost as if she was gaslighting herself into thinking she was the one who had written it because she couldn’t remember doing it.“Think whatever you want,” he said. “I’m leaving.” But before he could turn away, her voice rang out again.“How could someone like you, someone who doesn’t even have a job, draft something like that? Don’t think I’m stupid. I remember working on those files myself. You weren’t involved. Stop twisting this!”Her hands clenched at her sides, her pulse racing as disbelief and fury clashed inside her.Sean’s expression didn’t change. He remained calm, almost unnervingly so, as if her outburst didn’t faze him in the slightest.Rosalind took a step closer, her voice sharper. “I know you’re trying to make me question myself, but it won’t wo
CHAPTER 140
Sean halted, not because he wanted to hear what she had to say, but because he didn’t want to draw attention to them. If she yelled at him to stop, it might reflect poorly on Abrill, since he had come along. The best thing was to let Rosalind speak; it had nothing to do with him. He might as well pretend to listen.“Then speak,” he replied.She glanced at his back before straightening. She still couldn’t get used to this version of Sean—cold, distant, a far cry from the man who cared about her words and actually listened.Taking a deep breath, she tried to stay calm. Despite his demeanor, she reminded herself that they were divorced; he owed her nothing. After all, she had been the one to ask for the separation. She shouldn’t let her frustration show, but he was testing her patience.“I asked if you had a hand in the partnership,” she said, her voice calmer than before. “If you did, it would be better for you to tell me, Sean.”Her eyes stayed fixed on him, waiting for a response.
