Chapter 232 One Billion Dollars
"I haven't signed the divorce papers yet!" Remy held onto her hand firmly. "You are still my fiancée!"
Isla's heart filled with joy, but she appeared frightened. She quickly covered his lips and said, "Remy, these words must never be spoken again. If my uncle and aunt were to hear, it would hurt them."
Remy could feel the tender sensation from her fingertips, as alluring as her lips.
She was wearing a deep V-neck dress today, and when she bent over, her charm was revealed.
With such an attractive figure and a well-behaved, understanding girl...
Memories of their past happiness and sweetness flooded his mind once again.
Isla hurriedly tried to get up, pretending to leave, but she was too hasty and accidentally fell, landing right into Remy's arms.
"Remy, let go of me!" Isla pretended to struggle, rubbing her soft body against his.
Remy could smell her fragrance, and her presence ignited a burning heat within him.
"Remy, please help me up and let me go. You have always been an obedient child, never defying your parents. If they were to witness this scene... and it's a public place!"
Isla became more anxious as she spoke, her eyes turning red.
"It's all my fault. Eighteen years ago, the big fire caused me to be taken away by a cleaner. Now, eighteen years later, our family is facing this situation again. It's normal for Remy not to want me..."
Remy gazed at her fair and delicate face, his Adam's apple bobbing. "How could I not want you?"
"Remy, I should go now." Isla struggled to leave his embrace. "If you feel indebted to me, can you promise me one thing?"
"What is it?" Remy continued to hold her hand, unwilling to let go.
"The house your family bought for you before... Do you remember when you took me there once? I buried rose seeds in the yard... Can you dig up the grown rose seedling when you have the time and give me one plant?" Isla said, raising a happy smile. "Consider it a memento you left for me. Even when I don't have you by my side anymore, I'll still have a rose plant with me."
Remy suddenly thought she was being silly. After the divorce, she didn't want the house or the money, but she insisted on a plant so cheap it was just dirt.
The rose inside? Only a simple and sensible girl could say such words.
"Can I, Remy?"
Remy's hardened heart completely melted. "I am clumsy and afraid of damaging the roots. How about I take you there, and you can dig them up yourself?"
"Now?" Isla asked.
"Yes, now."
Isla was still worried about how to deceive him into being alone together, but she didn't expect him to take the bait so quickly!
Actually, Remy just wanted to take her to a secluded place, to hold her tightly, just like before...
But Isla couldn't bear to miss such a golden opportunity. After she agreed, she took another look at the place where Abella had just passed by. She had no idea which tycoon Abella had come here to dine with! She would have to find out later!
At this moment, Abella sat at the dining table, letting Phillipe set the tableware for her while she looked at her phone messages.
"Boss, good morning. The air is so fresh today. Go outside and take a sniff. Can you smell the scent of money?"
Abella replied, "Did we run out of money again?"
"Our research on the XR3 failed. If we continue, we'll need one billion dollars," the other person sent a laughing face emoji.
Abella didn't expect the project to burn through so much money. She didn't want to max out Blake's card, so she could only say, "Later."
Seeing Phillipe answer a phone call, Abella opened a mysterious website, and the homepage immediately displayed two options.
"Hire someone to complete a task."
"Accept a task yourself."
Abella clicked on the latter, and a sentence quickly popped up on the page: Master Medici, welcome back!
A small green dot appeared in the lower right corner of her profile picture, indicating that she was online.
"Oh my god, am I seeing things? The number one person on the leaderboard is back!"
"He's online!"
"Master Medici hasn't shown up for half a year! I wonder what kind of task he'll take on next!"
"Obviously, it'll be one with a lot of money!"
This website had a leaderboard, and the person ranked first, with a completion rate of 100% and the highest reward, was this person called Master Medici.
Clicking on his profile picture, there were two columns below it. On the left was a list of completed historical tasks, only sixteen in total, each starting with a reward of fifty million dollars.
On the right were tasks requested by others for her assistance, accumulating over one thousand and three hundred requests. Although she couldn't see the content of the tasks, she could see the rewards these people offered to Master Medici, ranging from fifty million to one hundred million dollars.
Abella clicked on the task with a reward of one hundred million dollars. Someone was asking her to help crack a drone combat system, which was the most formidable military technology in Norway. If it could be cracked and the secrets within it discovered, America could create an even more powerful system than their opponents!
Wealth would continuously flow into her pockets!
Abella speculated that the person who posted the task must be a businessman with a high status in America and his own professional technical team.
Because cracking this...
After establishing the system, this businessman surely needs a great deal of manpower and financial resources to research the new system... It will definitely cost a lot of money!
Thinking that money was not an issue for the other party, Abella directly changed the amount to one billion US dollars.
This move shocked many hackers.
"One billion US dollars? What kind of task would make Master Medici ask for one billion US dollars right off the bat? That's quite daring!"
"I envy them!"
"This task must be even more difficult than researching aliens, right?"
"I can only handle a project worth two hundred thousand dollars. I don't even have the qualification to negotiate!"
Phillipe had just finished a call and as he entered, his phone vibrated once again. His face darkened considerably as he answered!
One billion US dollars, the other party sure has the audacity!
"Mr. Bourbon, Master Medici is finally online!"
They had been waiting for Master Medici to come online for three months! It was not an easy feat!
If they refused... Master Medici would just take on another task!
"Mr. Bourbon, cracking this system is crucial for us..."
Once they uncover its mysteries and develop a new system, not only America, but other countries would invest a huge amount! The wealth at that time cannot be measured by just a billion!
"Give it to him," Phillipe's voice carried a cold tone.
The secretary on the other end breathed a sigh of relief and immediately made arrangements!
After a while, Abella saw that the other party had agreed. The task was automatically activated and began!
