Chapter 122 Time to Unleash the Big Move
In the evening, James was hanging by the car, trying to look all respectful and stuff. From a distance, he spotted Antonio storming over, looking all cold and intimidating, which made James feel like he was walking on eggshells.
Seeing Antonio's bad mood, James snapped to it, opened the car door, and waited for Antonio to hop in. Once Antonio was in, James secretly rubbed his arms. "Man, it's freezing!"
During the drive, the car felt like a freezer, and James was itching to crank up the heater.
He peeked at the rearview mirror and saw Antonio's face looking like it was carved from ice. James quickly looked away and focused on the road, too scared to say a word.
Out of nowhere, Antonio's icy voice cut through the silence. "Did you find out?"
James gulped, "Uh, the company's system got hacked. I tried to track the hacker's IP, but no luck."
His voice got quieter, filled with dread.
Antonio had been pranked twice, and both times, James had dropped the ball.
If Antonio decided to take it out on him now, James might as well commit suicide to atone for it!
Seeing Antonio's face get even darker, James started to freak out more.
Why did that jerk have to mess with Antonio? How gutsy!
The worst part was, he couldn't find a single clue.
Who the heck was it?
Even if he bit the dust, he needed to know who to get back at!
As James was freaking out internally, he suddenly heard a thud and the car jolted violently.
The car broke down!
James's heart jumped into his throat, and he slammed on the brakes!
The sudden stop sent Antonio lurching forward, and if it weren't for the seatbelt, he might've gotten hurt.
"Mr. Valencia, you okay?" James quickly checked on Antonio, but when he turned his head, he met a murderous glare. He almost bit his tongue. "Sorry, Mr. Valencia, the car's busted. I'll go check it out!"
He said it all in one breath and bolted out of the car like he was running for his life.
After a quick look, he found the tires had been messed with and immediately guessed it was probably the hacker's doing. "Damn it!" Antonio couldn't hold back his anger and cursed out loud.
Antonio's handsome face was tight as a drum, and the last bit of light in his eyes vanished, leaving only darkness.
That person kept messing with him. When Antonio catches him, he's gonna make him pay big time!
Meanwhile, the mastermind, Ethan, was having a blast.
Ethan watched his handiwork on his computer screen, his usually cold face lit up with pride and arrogance, with a hint of disdain in his eyes. 'Stupid Antonio, now you've seen my skills! That's what you get for messing with Sarah!'
Michael came over with a plate of fruit and, seeing the computer screen, felt both happy and worried. He couldn't help but say, "Ethan, you're sharp, but chill. You've caused quite a stir today, and Antonio will definitely dig deep."
If Antonio really got mad, the fallout would be huge.
But Ethan didn't care. He looked at Antonio on the screen and gave a wicked smile. "I've got a big surprise for him tomorrow!"
He didn't believe Antonio could catch him!
The next morning, Ethan was buzzing with excitement.
He threw on a sleek, tight-fitting jacket, a baseball cap, and a backpack, all in black, looking like a mini secret agent.
He barely slept last night, not 'cause he was nervous or scared, but 'cause he was too pumped and couldn't wait.
He'd run through the plan a million times in his head, and the thought of Antonio's downfall made him chuckle to himself.
"Just wait, I'll show you what I'm made of soon!"
At the main entrance of the Valencia Group building, employees were streaming in for work. Meanwhile, at the quiet side entrance, Ethan pulled out a small device from his backpack, cracked the door lock like it was nothing, and slipped inside.
Before coming, Ethan had studied the layout like a pro and had the building's surveillance under his control with his phone, so he smoothly made his way to the elevator control room.
After locking the door, he took off his mask and rubbed his hands together, all excited. "Let's see where you are."
It was still early. With no sign of Antonio yet, Ethan plopped down in a chair and watched everything outside through the surveillance footage.
Before long, Antonio showed up at the company, heading straight for the elevator.
Ethan's eyes lit up, and he quickly sat up straight. "Come on! Step into my trap!"
A mischievous grin spread across Ethan's innocent face, and his small hands skillfully worked the controls. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was an employee there.
Ethan's plan today was simple: trap Antonio in the elevator.
It was work time, just the right moment to let everyone in the building see Antonio's embarrassment.
Through the surveillance footage, he saw Antonio walk to the executive elevator, and his smirk grew wider.
As long as Antonio stepped into the elevator, he would be halfway to success. Then, he would stop the elevator mid-air and cut the power, and it would be game over.
When Antonio realized he was trapped, he would surely freak out and cry for help, just like in the TV shows.
Ethan's mind played out the scene again, and he couldn't help but chuckle. "You're gonna be scared out of your mind!"
When Antonio stepped into the executive elevator, Ethan quickly focused, placing his hand on the button, his big eyes glued to the screen.
The numbers in the elevator kept rising, and the light in his eyes grew brighter. When it reached a high floor, his small hand swiftly pressed down.
The next moment, the elevator abruptly stopped, and the display went dark!
"Perfect!" Ethan clapped his hands in excitement and pointed at Antonio on the screen. "You idiot, now you're screwed. This is what you get for messing with my mom!"
Watching Antonio shuffle to the corner on the screen, Ethan laughed even more triumphantly.
However, just as he was basking in his success, he heard the sound of a key turning in the lock outside.
Ethan was startled, his smile freezing, and he instinctively grabbed his mask and put it on, ready to find a place to hide. 'What's going on? No one should be coming here.' he mused.
But he had no time to hide; the control room door swung open.
Ethan turned around in horror, and when he saw who it was, his big eyes were filled with disbelief.
How could it be him?
