Chapter 403
Yuna brooded, her eyes taking on a stormy cast.
Once her parents had left, she quickly retreated to her room and dialed Barnes number. She cut straight to the
chase, Ten million, take out Hayes.”
There was a momentary silence on the other end of the line. Then Barnes let out a sly chuckle, “Sleep with me
once more, and I might just consider it.”
Yuna’s fiery resolution was abruptly doused by Barnes’ words Angered, she hung up, left with an unsettling feeling.
Three years ago, she had slept with this despicable man. Since then, that night had become a recurring nightmare.
How could she possibly agree to such an outrageous request?
She’d rather handle it herself. After all, she had killed before, like Laverne.
Laverne… Her name echoed in Yuna’s mind, sending a shiver down her spine as she recalled the night of Laverne’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdeath.
Countless times, in the dead of night, Yuna was haunted by nightmares where Laverne, with blood-soaked hands,
sought revenge.
But what’s done is done, and there’s no turning back. All she could do was brace herself and keep moving forward,
making mistake after mistake.
Meanwhile, at the Atlas Private Hospital’s entrance, Marguerite’s desolate silhouette was elongated by the
afternoon sun. The cold wind made her seem insignificant, like a solitary leaf floating aimlessly in the void.
She was certain the hospital wouldn’t make such a mistake without reason. There must be a child whose blood type
matched her DNA, albeit not a perfect match.
Holding on to this last thread of hope, she went to the hospital to request the child’s information, but was coldly
denied due to patient privacy
In desperation, she drove to the Winston Group to seek Maurice Winston’s help. After all, the child was Maurice’s
flesh and blood, too. He had no reason not to care.
At that time, Maurice was in his office, dealing with the top hacker from Veracoria
His anger was palpable, his voice cold and menacing, “I wanted Thunderbolt Enterprises to suffer a total loss. And
you? You only managed to transfer a measly three billion from them. That’s nothing compared to Thunderbolt’s
market value!”
The hacker’s voice on the other end of the phone was metallic and androgynous, clearly altered. Their casual tone,
however, couldn’t disguise their nonchalance, Thunderbolt Enterprises’ security system is top-notch. Making them
lose thirty billion is my limit.”
Maurice, furious, punched the window, “Don’t lie to me! I heard you once bankrupted a flourishing company when
you were only fifteen!”
But the next second, all he heard was the cold tone of a disconnected call.
The hacker was elusive, and the vast Winston Group couldn’t track his exact location, and even contacting him was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏma challenge.
So once the call ended, this hacker was virtually untraceable worldwide.
“Damn it!” Maurice cursed under his breath. Hammond, reflecting on the hacker’s recent activities, quickly reached
a conclusion, “Mr. Winston, I’m afraid that hacker never intended to take down Frederick. He’d been observing,
weighing whether the Winston Group or Thunderbolt is more worth his allegiance. So if Thunderbolt continues on its
current trajectory, there’s a good chance the hacker will switch sides.” Before he could finish, the office door was
pushed open aggressively
Maurice was about to lash out when he turned and saw Marguerite storming in, followed by a flustered Janie who
looked apologetic, “Mr. Winston, I couldn’t stop her. She… she insisted on seeing you right now!”
As he laid eyes on her, Maurice’s anger softened a bit. He instructed curtly, “Close the door.”
“Yes, Mr. Winston.” Janie obediently shut the door and thoughtfully pulled down the blinds.
Marguerite turned to Maurice, took out her phone and showed him the erroneous text message from the hospital.
She was frantic, The hospital said the blood type match was a mistake, but I think there’s more to Lwant you to
start an investigation. Now!”
Listening from the side, Hammond felt anxious and panic.
