Nash was a lot calmer than others. He knew that some of the Student Union members were involved in some shady practices, but it was an unspoken rule anyway.He looked at them gloomily and berated, "Ronin, I told you not to escalate the conflict due to your personal grudge. We're talking about if you get to qualify for the next round. Don't try to shift the focus, okay?"Catherine raised her head and settled her cold gaze on Nash. To her surprise, this guy looked like a man of honor but turned out to be so vile.Ronin noticed that she intended to do something, so he just stopped talking and waited for her to speak.Catherine raised her head and looked at the judges."I have only one question. You question our qualification for the next round, believing that our character is bad. Then, do we have the right to suspect your qualification as the judges as you've been engaged in shady practices and embezzled public funds?"Since they didn't want to determine the victory in terms of a
Even a fool could recognize that Nash was trying to stall for time, but after all, Nash had been the president of the Student Union. He was somewhat formidable. Even though people were displeased, they wouldn't dare to offend him.As for Catherine's team, Ronin and Bryan would listen to Catherine.If Catherine didn't agree, they wouldn't let go anyway. Catherine didn't object. She took off the clip mic and walked to the backstage area.Ronin and Bryan immediately followed her in unison.Seeing that they returned to the backstage area, the judges finally let out a sigh of relief. Elena put on an arrogant air right away and then said sarcastically, "See? They still have to compromise. They merely want to make it to the next round. They acted as if they were so sanctimonious. Shame on them!"The judges' expressions all hardened. Even Nash also looked rather awkward. Liana really didn't know how a fool like Elena could still live in this world!It was bad enough that Elena coul
As the eldest son of the Wales and the only son of the family, he was deeply adored by the seniors in his family. The Wales was not as powerful as the four big families, but they had developed rapidly in the north of Casier. They were sort of a powerful force.That day, Nash returned to the Wales' and told his family about what had happened. After hearing Nash out, Gary Wale, Nash's father, flew into a rage."How foolish of you! I sent you to school for your future career and for you to make more friends. But you just ruined your reputation for this little interest!"Nash just sat there quietly and didn't talk back.He was aware that his father was bad-tempered. If he talked back to Gary, Gary would be more infuriated and even punish him more harshly.He still needed his father to deal with this matter. So, at this point, he had to bow.He had learned that Catherine and her friends didn't mean to let them go when he left school.They had handed the evidence to the school. Th
As soon as the Wales left, Liana, who had eavesdropped upstairs, slowly walked downstairs. Her eyes were filled with delight. She didn't expect that Nash could get his father to come here and deal with this matter personally.Liana slowly walked to Korbin and said in a soft tone, "Dad, did Nash and his father just come?"Kobin nodded. Nash and Liana went to the same school and were about the same age. Korbin wasn't surprised that the two of them knew each other.The upper social circle was quite narrow. The Wales were in Casier, too. It was normal that Liana knew Nash. "Dad, I know what they talked about just now. Catherine is gonna disclose Nash as well as Elena, the daughter of the Leighs, and..."She listed a series of her classmates, who were all from illustrious families and played a role in the Student Union. Yet, she didn't mention herself. Although Korbin was her father, he cared a lot more about Johnathan than her.Hearing Liana's words, Korbin looked increasingly g
In Korbin's eyes, the most hateful trait of Catherine was her arrogance, coldness, and haughtiness. He hated her for that.As the legitimate son of the Swanns, he spent the first half of his life working tirelessly for the Swanns.He was forever subordinate to Vicente, whose word was law at the Swann Corporation.However, he was not angry or worried.In his understanding, he perceived himself as the future heir of the Swanns and firmly believed that the Swanns would ultimately be his possession.Finally, he witnessed the passing of Vicente.The passing of his biological father at his age brought about sadness, but there was not as much deep attachment.Furthermore, he contemplated the future.With a blueprint for the future of the Swann Corporation entirely under his control, he would undoubtedly lead the Swann Corporation toward a better future.Korbin had planned it all out but didn't expect Vicente to play tricks on him before passing away.It was like Vicente invited the
Catherine's conditions were not challenging. She sat with her hands folded on the table, emanating a cold aura.Her cold and distant gaze lingered on Korbin casually, but it brought Korbin an inexhaustible sense of oppression, making him instinctively feel a kind of fear toward Catherine."First of all, someone needs to be held accountable for this. But it's definitely not me who should take responsibility. It should be those guys from the Student Union. I can just let go of it. The rest is left to them."Korbin hesitated momentarily, fully aware that this might be the Wales' bottom line.The bottom line for the Wales was to protect Nash and ensure that he was not heavily influenced.As for how to operate and at what cost, it was something only the Wales themselves could determine.After careful consideration, Korbin nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I agree to this condition. So, what is the second condition?"Korbin agreed readily. Catherine also did not beat around the bus
Catherine entered the room, claiming she needed to do her homework. However, this was merely an excuse to deceive Audrey.In fact, she had to deal with the affairs of the base.Their organization, Hacker Alliance, was currently under attack from cyber assailants.Furthermore, it was not just a single elite hacker attacking them but a team of hackers.In the afternoon, Catherine had already made arrangements, and the group of hackers would have no way out tonight.Ronin initiated a video call to have a real-time conversation with Catherine."Boss, here comes that gang of riffraff!"Catherine turned her gaze toward the computer screen, only to find a swarm of red attack points relentlessly targeting the firewall set up in the base.The first wave of attack, seemingly not so fierce, was more like a probing.Those people slowly approach Catherine's bottom line step by step, touching and exploring it continuously.Ronin tapped on the keyboard excitedly, engaging in a fierce confro
In the study of the Duncans'.Paxton rushed in with his laptop and placed it in front of Branden."Mr. Duncan. We can no longer hold on!"Upon hearing Paxton's words, Branden was somewhat surprised.It was unexpected that his hacker team could also experience defeat.This team was built by him personally and had been through a lot of training. It had never been defeated before.He handed over this team to Paxton, who was also a computer expert and had never made a mistake.Despite knowing that it was difficult to breach the firewall of Hacker Alliance, he did not expect to be traced by the other party so quickly.His pitch-dark eyes glittered as he fixed his gaze intently on the computer screen and observed every single fluctuation in the data displayed on it.There wasn't any expression or posture from head to toe, but he emanated a fierce aura that discouraged anyone from meeting his gaze."What's going on?"A cold voice immediately snapped Paxton, who was deeply immersed
