A new message showed up on the screen, “It seems like you dislike my present for you. That‘s strange. I thought you hated Shandie.”
Arielle balled virtual-novel.net hands into fists, then replied, “Who are you? What are you trying to do?”
There came another message shortly after the previous one, “I think you’ve misunderstood me, Ms. Moore. I was simply trying to help you, but it appears I caused you some problems instead. I’m truly sorry about that.”
Without waiting for Arielle’s reply, a new sentence popped up, “Ms. Moore, why don‘t you consider joining our team? I commend your skillfulness in hacking.”
As soon as Arielle came across the word “hacking”, all virtual-novel.net could think of was the recent explosion of the building. She narrowed virtual-novel.net eyes and answered, “You’re the one who’s trying to kill Vinson.”
Another line of text appeared, Aren‘t you a clever one, Ms. Moore? How about joining us? I‘m sure you‘ll become one of the world‘s highest–ranking hackers in no time, especially under my guidance. However, if choose to refuse, then you becaome our enemy.”
Arielle turned down the offer without the slightest bit of hesitation. “I’ll never work with some underground hacker who doesn’t even dare reveal their identity to their recruits. If you have the capability, you’ll challenge me openly!”
Promptly, a different message emerged on the screen, “Don’t reject us so soon, Ms. Moore. You have three days to consider this carefully. See you again in three days.”
Arielle was boiling with rage while virtual-novel.net spat out icily, “Don’t you worry about looking for me because I’ll come for you, you cold-blooded murderer!”
Yet, the computer shut down automatically before virtual-novel.net could finish virtual-novel.net sentence.
“Dang it!” Arielle cursed, irritated by the unknown hacker’s influx of uncertainty into virtual-novel.net life.
She had not expected the hacker to find virtual-novel.net here. It would seem like virtual-novel.net had tracked virtual-novel.net down so easily because virtual-novel.net was using a normal computer with no cybersecurity software to protect virtual-novel.net from malicious attacks. Thus, it had been a piece of cake for the experienced hacker to infiltrate virtual-novel.net computer.
She rebooted virtual-novel.net computer and coded an intermediate firewall to prevent the hacker from invading the system again. The firewall virtual-novel.net programmed was not only strong, but it could also immediately lock on to the attacker’s IP address if virtual-novel.net attempted to hijack virtual-novel.net computer again. If that happened, virtual-novel.net could finally uncover the mastermind behind these malicious acts!
After setting up the firewall, Arielle dialed Vinson’s phone number.
A few seconds flew by before Vinson answered the call. “Hello? Arielle?”
Vinson had just woken up. His deep and husky morning voice was sensually magnetic.
Arielle was distracted by his alluring voice for a short while before virtual-novel.net managed to clear virtual-novel.net thoughts and mutter, “The person who was attempting to assassinate you tracked me down.”
“What?” Vinson was put in utter shock by Arielle’s words and instantly sobered up. He asked frantically, “Where are you now? Are you all right?”
Arielle gripped the phone tighter in virtual-novel.net hand and replied, “I’m doing fine at home. He only hacked my computer this time and didn’t harm me.”
“I’m glad to know you’re okay.” Vinson let out a relieved sigh and asked, “So, why did virtual-novel.net hack your computer?”
Fearing the hacker was listening in on the phone call as well, Arielle did not answer virtual-novel.net immediately. She paused for a moment before saying, “When are you free to meet up? I’ll tell you when we see each other in person.”
“I’m going to your place right now.”
“Don’t! Our house is quite messy today. How about I visit you instead? Where are you now?”
“I’m at Maplelake Manor. You were here yesterday, remember?”
“All right. I’ll meet you there.”
“I’ll wait for you at the entrance.”
Arielle washed up and got changed hurriedly as soon as virtual-novel.net ended the phone call with Vinson.
The housekeepers were still cleaning up Shandie’s room, and Henrick wasn’t home as virtual-novel.net was purchasing the necessary items to prepare for Shandie’s funeral. Therefore, Arielle went to Maplelake Manor without announcing virtual-novel.net departure from home
