Alex furrowed his brow. "Us taking the initiative? How?"Evan explained, "Axel and Ty will create software and load it onto a USB drive tomorrow. Your task is simple—insert the USB drive into Azure's phone, and everything will become clear.""I understand. So, you're asking me to get close to Azure and steal her phone data," Alex summarized."That's correct. It's the only way to find out if she's in contact with Daniella," Evan affirmed.Alex fell silent momentarily before saying, "I'll think about what to do then."Evan suggested, "Aren't you skilled in wooing women? Try using your usual tricks with her."Alex chuckled bitterly. "I'm not in the mood for that now."Evan persisted, "If Azure did it for real, don't you want to avenge Paige?""I won't tolerate it if Azure did it! I won't spare anyone, no matter who it is!" Alex's eyes flared with anger. He clenched his hair tightly and added, "What's most distressing to me is that I have no idea where Paige is now!""I'll help yo
The person answered the call promptly.Evan commanded, "Compile the IP addresses you've collected over the past few days into a document file and send it to my phone within five minutes!"Unable to resist, Yuliana inquired, "What is the significance of these addresses, Evan?"Evan met her gaze and explained, "I suspect the places Scott visited coincide with the locations of the hacker attacking my company.""Hmm?" Neil asked. "However, I look at it for a while, and I can't seem to match it."For some reason, Neil felt relieved. "I doubt Scott would attack your company, would he?"Evan sneered. "I don't think he's that straightforward either! However, uncovering his issues might not be easy."Yuliana expressed, "Honestly, I sense something off about Scott too. If he's freelancing on the side, why does he always do it late at night?"Neil fell silent."Could Scott be the one attacking Evan's company?" Yuliana suggested.Neil looked at her in puzzlement.Evan stated, "You've
Alex brought the USB drive and headed to Wild Sides with Lucas at night.Lucas remarked on how Alex seemed like an old man who had experienced life's hardships in just a few days. He couldn't bear to see Alex's stubble and expressed concern about Paige's situation."Alex, I know Paige's condition saddens you, but you can't do this to yourself," Lucas said, grabbing Alex's arm.Alex was mentally exhausted and gazed out the window blankly. "Don't speak anymore.""No, you have to tell me what I should do after meeting Azure. I still find it hard to believe that Azure would actually do that to Paige," Lucas insisted.Still overwhelmed, Alex said, "It's not just you. I don't believe it either."Lucas sighed. "Tell me about your plan. Paige is a nice person, and I would like to help both of you."Alex hesitated. "I still don't know what to do yet. Let's play it by ear and check my text messages later.""Sure," Lucas agreed.The waiting staff led Alex and Lucas to their private room
Alex crushed τηε wine glass in his hand before Lucas could finish his sentence.Azure and Lucas turned to the sound in unison.Azure's face turned ghastly pale when she saw Alex's right hand drenched in blood. She hastily leaned forward and grabbed Alex's hand. "Have you lost your mind, Alex?"Lucas rushed forward as well. "Fuck! Is it worth doing this for a woman? Damn, there's so much blood!"Lucas told Azure, "Fatty Azzie, get a waiting staff and see if there's a first aid kit! I'll go to the pharmacy nearby to get some disinfectant and tweezers! His palm is covered in glass shards!"Azure nodded and rushed out of the private room.Alex told Lucas soon after she left, "Follow her! Don't come back in less than 10 minutes! Figure out a way to stall her!"Lucas stared at Alex's wound. "Understood, hang in there!"Lucas rushed out of the private room as well.Alex looked at Azure's bag, which was placed next to him, and grabbed the USB drive with his uninjured hand.Then, he g
Caroline gazed in astonishment at Alex's bandaged hand and turned to Lucas. "What happened to Alex?"Lucas sighed heavily. "He crushed a wine glass in his hand but still managed to download the software into Azure's phone."Caroline stood up abruptly. "Is it done for sure?""Alex said so," replied Lucas.Kenny was bewildered. "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand anything?""It's about Paige." Caroline set down her fork and headed upstairs.Liora had nearly fallen asleep when Alex entered the room, startling her awake.With a frown, Evan glared at Alex and asked, "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"Alex glanced guiltily at Liora and Evan. "I'm sorry, Lia and Evan, but I have something important to do now!"Tyler and Axel opened their eyes, sitting upright. Tyler rubbed his eyes and asked, "Was the download successful?"Alex nodded. "Yes. When will you be able to export the data?""There's too much data to export. Please provide an accurate time frame, Uncl
Caroline turned to Evan, her eyes burning with rage.Meanwhile, Evan swiftly dialed Julian's number.Julian answered promptly, and Evan commanded sinisterly, "Tell Blake to bring Daniella to Bayview Villa.""Yes, sir!" Julian responded.Turning to Caroline, Evan declared, "I leave her to your discretion. After all, she is of no use to us now." Caroline gnashed her teeth in hatred.Her suspicion about Daniella being the source of evil was correct.Unable to contain her emotions, she confronted Evan, "Why won't you report her to the police instead of bringing her here?""Killing her is far from enough to atone for the crimes she committed.""You don't have to do it. I'm going to deal with this treacherous wench myself!" Alex interjected through clenched teeth, his eyes bloodshot, unable to suppress his ruthlessness.-Daniella was pacing anxiously in her room at Jordan Residence, wondering, 'Now that Evan's father has been detained, when will I regain my freedom?'Suddenly,
"Fuck! Who could be behind this!" Alex snarled as he punched the sofa arm.Caroline pondered the suspicious individuals who had visited the villa. Meanwhile, Kenny found himself engaged in the same contemplation. Looking at Caroline with astonishment, Kenny exclaimed, "G, apart from a few of us, there's your brother, Eira, and also Scott…"A chill ran down Caroline's spine.Caroline thought, 'It can't be Neil, and Eira's connection to Neil makes the possibility low. The only plausible suspect is Scott…'The crowd silently acknowledged the answer in their hearts.Caroline struggled to compose herself. "How... could it possibly be Scott? He's not the type of person who would do that. He doesn't have a motive, right? We lack evidence…"Evan retorted, "What's the point of defending him now?"Caroline, still in shock, couldn't find her voice.Kenny sighed. "G, you can find out by calling Scott now, right? If it's Scott, he's definitely not at the hospital."Caroline nodded, tremb
A phone not belonging to Daniella rang. She picked it up, responding with a vigilant yet anxious tone. "Hello?"The caller's voice revealed it was Hector.Daniella clutched the phone tightly and asked, "Mr. Hendrix? Why did you render me unconscious and bring me here with Casey? Why are we in the same room?"Hector replied coldly, "You ask too many questions!"Daniella quickly apologized, "I'm sorry for speaking out of turn, Mr. Hendrix."She feared opposing him, knowing he had the power to infiltrate Jordan Residence unnoticed.Hector revealed, "They found out about your collusion with Azure. Stay here if you want to live. Help me execute my final plan once I'm prepared."Daniella was puzzled. 'Final plan? Has he executed many plans already?'Looking at the unconscious Casey, she asked, "What about Casey, Mr. Hendrix?""I have other arrangements for him. Three meals a day will be delivered to you."Hector hung up abruptly, leaving Daniella with unanswered questions.Daniell
