FRAMED (THE PAYBACK) CHAPTER 28: I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY HACKED HIS COMPUTER
thus he would help retrieve the inhaler. Indeed, Steven's plan was succeeding, as Ethan hurried to his office, leaving him alone. As soon as Ethan departed, Steven swiftly rose and hacked into Ethan's computer before returning to his original position, feigning a near-fainting state. When Ethan returned, he handed Steven the inhaler, which Steven pretended to inhale. "What took you so long? I nearly lost consciousness," Steven remarked. "I could not locate the inhaler in your bag, so I had to search your office and eventually found it in your desk," Ethan explained. Upon entering his office that morning, Steven had deliberately removed the inhaler from his bag and placed it inside his desk. He had misled Ethan by telling him it was in his bag, as part of his plan to delay Ethan slightly, knowing that he would not return without the inhaler. His satisfaction lay in the fact that he had successfully hacked into Ethan's computer. "Oh, perhaps I inadvertently left it at home; however

“Alright, what kind of illness did you pretend to have?” Susan inquired, anxiously biting her nails. “Guess!” Steven exclaimed. “Oh, I cannot guess, as there are numerous ailments that could frighten someone,” Susan responded. “Come on, darling, give it a try,” Steven encouraged. Susan rolled her eyes and exclaimed, “Oh! Just tell me already!” “Very well, while there are indeed several maladies that could induce fear, I determined that the most effective illness to frighten Ethan at that moment was asthma,” Steven explained. He then narrated to Susan how he feigned his illness and persuaded Ethan to rush to his office to retrieve his inhaler, which led to his successful and swift hacking of Ethan’s computer. “Wow, that was an excellent plan you executed, and I am relieved you were not caught while hacking,” Susan complimented. “Yes, I had it all meticulously planned as well,” Steven replied. Susan exhaled and said, “Hmm, please tell me more.” “I knew he would not return to h

his office to retrieve his inhaler," Ethan assured her. "That is indeed peculiar. Why did he not carry his inhaler with him when he came to your office?" Angela interrogated further. "Well, I believe it was because I had been looking for him this morning and sent him a text message instructing him to report to my office upon arrival. It seems he may have forgotten his inhaler at home," Ethan explained, though he was interrupted by Angela. "I do not understand; how can you say he forgot his inhaler at home when you just mentioned you went to his office to get it for him?" Angela queried, her confusion evident. "Indeed, I did say that. He requested that I check his bag for the inhaler, but unfortunately, it was not there. I had to search his office and eventually found it in his desk. When I inquired as to why it was in his desk rather than in his bag, he informed me that he had forgotten it at home; the inhaler I retrieved from his desk is the one he uses at work," Ethan responded.

my love, but I lack the energy to cook. Why not purchase some food on your way home?" Angela suggested. "Please, I understand your reluctance towards him, but for my sake, I implore you," Ethan pleaded. "Very well, I shall prepare something before your return, but only because of you," Angela clarified. "Thank you immensely; that is why I cherish you," Ethan gratefully remarked. After work, Ethan and Steven went to his residence. Steven felt a surge of envy upon witnessing the beauty and spaciousness of Ethan's home. "Very soon, all of this will be lost," Steven mused inwardly. "Welcome to my humble abode; please, have a seat," Ethan invited. Steven smiled and settled into a chair, feigning comfort as if he held no animosity towards Ethan. Ethan then called out, "My love, I am home!" Angela emerged from the kitchen, radiantly beautiful as always. "Oh my goodness, I did not hear you arrive; nevertheless, you are welcome. How was work?" Angela inquired, bestowing a kiss upon

when?" Jane pressed. "From the very beginning," Steven responded. "Hmm, so you mean you have been sharing all our discussions and plans with your girlfriend, Susan?" Jane interrogated. "Yes," Steven confirmed. "Why? This was meant to remain between us," Jane remarked. "Well, if you must know, she was the one who pointed out that I was being overlooked for promotion, and she instilled in me a sense of animosity towards Ethan," Steven elucidated. "So you are saying that your girlfriend, Susan, has been the architect of your resentment towards Ethan and encouraged you to eliminate him to assume his position?" Jane asked, somewhat incredulous. "Yes, big sister, and she has consistently supported any decision I make," Steven replied. "Very well, but is she trustworthy? You are aware that if anyone discovers we are responsible after your plans are executed, we will face dire consequences?" Jane inquired. "Yes, I trust her completely; she will not divulge anything to anyone, not eve

However, after waiting for two hours for a refund without success, he realised the situation had escalated beyond control. He hurried to the bank to lodge a complaint and safeguard his funds. Upon entering the bank, Samuel vociferously addressed the customer service staff, "I was debited a substantial sum this morning, and I cannot recall authorising any transactions. I have waited for two hours for a refund, yet to no avail. If you are aware of what has occurred regarding my money, I suggest you initiate the refund process immediately; otherwise, I shall pursue legal action against this bank." The customer service employees were taken aback, and one staff member, Ella, promptly responded, "Sir, please calm down and explain to us exactly what transpired, as your agitation is causing confusion. We are all perplexed and unaware of the situation." "Do not instruct me to calm down; my money was stolen this morning, and you expect me to remain composed? Are you out of your mind?" Samuel

“I trust you are all aware of our VIP client Samuel's report of fraud. I would like each of you to halt whatever tasks you are currently undertaking and trace the transactions on his account from today. Here are his details, and I expect all of you to report back to me before the end of the day,” the bank manager commanded. Ella then asked, “Excuse me, sir, but what amount are we investigating?” “Good question. Five billion pounds was withdrawn from his account at precisely 8:15 AM today,” the bank manager replied. “Oh my goodness, who would dare to steal such a significant sum from a VIP client? That is utterly despicable,” Ella remarked. “That is precisely what we aim to uncover, so I require everyone's full attention,” the bank manager stated before walking away. Steven felt a sense of satisfaction, though he pondered why he had chosen to use a VIP customer’s funds to frame Ethan; the rationale was known only to him. An announcement was made instructing all customers to leave

as the computer he relied on was malfunctioning, Ethan signed out and returned home. Steven felt elated, as he was nearing victory. When Ethan arrived home, he appeared frustrated and despondent. "Welcome home, my love. What troubles you?" Angela inquired. Ethan looked at her and, in a mumbling tone that reflected his sadness, explained, "One of my top VIP clients had five billion pounds stolen, and no one knows who is responsible. Everyone is doing their part, including me, but each time I attempt to assist, the network logs me out." "Oh, I am sorry to hear that. Perhaps you could use your laptop," Angela suggested. Ethan remained silent, as he preferred not to speak when feeling down. However, he opened his laptop to log in, only to discover that he could not access it. "I cannot even access my username and password anymore; I receive a message stating that my username and password do not exist," Ethan expressed. "Hmm, that is peculiar. You might try logging in using mine,"

that something was amiss. "My love, have you been crying? Your eyes are swollen, and your face appears dull," Angela remarked. "There is something I need to discuss with you," Ethan stated. "Please, speak to me; I am here to listen," Angela encouraged. Ethan began, "Do you recall the issue regarding one of our regular VIP customers that I mentioned yesterday?" "You mean the VIP client who was defrauded of five billion pounds?" Angela responded. "Precisely," Ethan confirmed. "What about him?" Angela asked swiftly. "I have been accused of defrauding him of that amount," Ethan revealed. "What?!" Angela exclaimed. Ethan began to weep. "Did you not explain your innocence to them?" Angela asked. "I did, but they refused to listen," Ethan declared. "Who do you mean by 'they'?" Angela inquired. "The bank manager and the board of directors," Ethan replied. "Is that the source of your distress?" Angela asked. Ethan swallowed hard and responded, "No, that is not the only issue; I

explain that I had been framed, but they refused to listen. They even inquired about the current balance in my bank account. When I provided the information, they checked my balance and discovered that the five billion pounds were in my account, leading them to conclude that I was a thief," Ethan explained through tears. "Oh my goodness, this is unbelievable," Alfie exclaimed. "The most frustrating part was that when I entered my details in their presence, I was able to log in successfully, which exacerbated the situation. I shouted that there had been a misunderstanding," Ethan recounted. "Did they not believe you?" Alfie asked. "They did not believe me; they accused me of fabricating stories. I even suggested they consult Steven, who could corroborate my account, as he was present when I attempted to access my account," Ethan said. "Did he support your claims?" Alfie questioned. "Yes, he did. He informed them of what he witnessed," Ethan explained. "And what did he say?" Alfi
FRAMED (THE PAYBACK) CHAPTER 37: ETHAN, YOU ARE FIRED
I am allowing you to leave without charges, not out of leniency, but to prevent this matter from escalating further and to avert jeopardising our branch’s operations. We have concluded that you are to be fired. So Ethan, you are fired!” Ethan was taken aback, rendered speechless by the proclamation. Numerous discussions had transpired, leading to the consensus that Ethan should be terminated to mitigate potential risks, as they were uncertain of his future actions. Ethan wept and pleaded for a second chance, saying, "Sir, please allow me the opportunity to prove my innocence." "It is already too late for that, Ethan. However, all your bank accounts will be frozen for six months, and the car and house that the bank provided will also be seized as a consequence of your actions, rather than facing imprisonment," the bank manager stated. The bank confiscated everything, leaving Ethan with nothing, prompting him to weep like a child as he begged for another chance to demonstrate his i

"I have proof that I am innocent, I was unable to access my computer since yesterday, and my laptop was not functional when I returned home either. Steven can attest to this, as he was in my office yesterday, and I am pleased that he is present," Ethan stated. The bank manager then turned to Steven and asked, "Steven, is he telling the truth?" This was the moment Steven had been anticipating, as he wished to testify as a witness, and he finally had the opportunity. "That depends on the nature of the truth you are inquiring about, sir," Steven replied. "Were you with him yesterday at his office while he was attempting to log in as he claims?" the bank manager asked. "Yes, sir, I was present," Steven confirmed. Wyatt interjected, "At what exact time was he trying to log in unsuccessfully?" "At noon, after the incident had already occurred," Steven clarified. "It is noted here that our VIP customer, Samuel, was debited at precisely 8:15 AM, and your colleague Ethan was unable to
