Chapter 192
"Mom, calm down!"
Keith steadied her shoulders, speaking in a firm tone, "I'm looking into it. We'll make whoever is behind this pay."
Emily's quivering lips finally stilled.
Regardless of the cost, she was resolved to pin this on Haley.
Only by doing so, would Ivan act against her!
Haley stayed at the hospital until eight, then she took the kids home.
After they washed up and it was past nine, Angela obediently went to bed, and Todd retreated to his room.
He was always self-reliant, handling his affairs without help.
While brushing his teeth, he heard the distinctive alarm sound from the laptop stashed under his bed.
His eyes narrowed, he knelt in front of the bed, teeth clenching around his toothbrush, and he fished out the laptop.
He'd assembled it himself, all high-end specs; his mother knew about it and had forbidden him from using it.
So, he kept it hidden under his bed, taking it out only when necessary.
He crafted a program to shield Mom's company, and now the alarm blaring meant the company's website was under attack.
Todd sat on the carpet, toothbrush in mouth, his fingers drumming over the keyboard at breakneck speed. It didn't take him long to spot the invasive code.
The attacker's method, worming through the firewall, felt eerily familiar...
It seemed like the same tactics used by the hacker who had stubbornly erased the incriminating video of Emily.
With a scoff, Todd tossed his toothbrush aside.
His typing sped up, the blur of his fingers flickering across the screen...
Meanwhile, at the Winston residence.
A dim nightlight glowed in an upstairs bedroom.
Keith was sitting at his desk typing before his computer.
Tonight, his hacking into Star Technology's website was supposed to be a simple recon on that woman's secrets.
But he hadn't counted on triggering alarms the moment he breached the site's myriad firewalls, setting off a counterattack from the security program...
He had barely tangled with it for a minute when someone took control, ensnaring him in a net of prewritten defensive codes.
Keith's lips curled into a smirk.
It seemed he was up against that hacker once more.
Last time, only with his father's help, had he managed to delete the video.
That defeat had rankled him for a while.
He was accustomed to being number one; being outclassed wasn't an option.
So, he'd been honing his hacking techniques ever since.
Tonight, he was determined to defeat his opponent.
Just then, his room door opened slowly.
The sound of leather soles clicking against the floor didn't distract Keith in the slightest.
He was completely engrossed in the cyber duel, oblivious to his surroundings.
Until...
A large hand reached over, long fingers pressing the power button. The screen went black in an instant.
