Chapter 89
Jeremy felt guilty and muttered with his head hanging low.
"We have spent so much to support a group of so-called technical staff, and this is all you can do?
Have you fixed the firewall? Have you found out who attacked our firewall? Area Seven''s firewall is
considered the best in the world, so it is definitely the best within the country, but shouldn''t you reflect
on it now that the hacking had gone unnoticed?" Joaquin nced at him coldly and snorted.
Jeremy was quiet after hearing what he said. "Joaquin, I suspect that someone had revealed our secret
on purpose. No outsiders had visited Area Seven before, but a few days back, an outsider was here,
and now, such an incident seemed suspicious. On top of that, you brought her into your room, so she
could be the one who leaked our secret." Someone in the room couldn''t stand seeing Jeremy being
scolded and ming Katherine for what had happened.
After hearing that, everyone in the room seemed convinced by his words. Since Joaquin wanted to
protect Katherine''s identity, he didn''t openly speak about her, which was why not many people knew
who she really was. He never thought that she would be med because of it.
"Nonsense! This incident has nothing to do with Miss Cornell, and she would never do such a thing.
Don''t me your ipetence on others!" Jeremy condemned the man.
"I admit that I''m not as skilled, but we cannot totally rule out that she had nothing to do with this! Area
Seven had always been well guarded, and no idents had happened until she came over here. Isn''t
that suspicious? Who is she? Is she trustworthy and has her identity been verified?" The man who
spoke was one of Area Seven''s IT personnel, Jordan Flint.
He was a genius with an extremely high IQ who was admitted into Cechirus University as a top student
at the age of 16. On top of that, he studied Computer Science which was one of the most popr
subjects. His skills were ranked among the top in the world as he was ranked in the top 20
internationally. He held himself in high regard, and so he was naturally frustrated when Area Seven''s
firewall was hacked unnoticeably. He was willing to ept criticism, but he insisted that the incident
had something to do with Katherine.
"She…" Jeremy wanted to exin on Katherine''s behalf but was interrupted by Joaquin.
"Tell me, what do you find suspicious about her?" Joaquin nced at Jeremy before shifting his gaze to
look at Jordan.
Seeing that, Jeremy kept his mouth shut and didn''t say a word.
"Joaquin, theputer in your room contained the information on all of Area Seven''s undercover
agents. Since you are the suprememander of Area Seven, it''s safest to have the information
stored on yourputer. Since she had entered your room and stayed there for a while, I wouldn''t
believe it if you said she was not a suspect. She must ept Area Seven''s investigation, or else I
wouldn''t be convinced."
"Alright." Joaquin nodded and instructed, "Give her a phone call and ask her toe over here,
Jeremy."
Jeremy was surprised to hear that and looked over at Joaquin, but when he saw how calm Joaquin
was, he nodded and went out to make the call.

Meanwhile, the bored Katherine was scrolling through thetest dramas at Soulin International after
returning from the research institute. When she received a call, it took her a while to realize that it was
from Jeremy. She answered the call, but she kept quiet and allowed him to speak first.
"Miss Cornell, I''m Jeremy from Area Seven. We have met a few times before. The thing is, something
happened over here, and we hope that you can make the trip over. I will arrange for someone to fetch
you." He made a request to her politely and didn''t mention her being suspected of the hacking.
Katherine paused as she looked at the time and answered while raising her brow, "Sure."
After giving him her address, she turned off the drama and changed into some casual clothing. Half an
hourter, he received a call from Jeremy notifying her that her ride was waiting for her downstairs.
It took Katherine two hours to reach Area Seven, and as she entered the area, she could feel the
solemn atmosphere which gave off a depressing vibe. She was surprised by it as she didn''t know what
had happened. Jeremy, who had been waiting downstairs, went up to her and greeted her when he
saw hering in before leading her to the meeting room on the second floor. The meeting room was
crowded as all of the staff from the technical department were there. When they noticed Katherine
walking in, they all red at her as they had identified her as the culprit who leaked their data.
Katherine frowned as she looked at them before shifting her gaze at Joaquin and asking, "You wanted
to see me?"
"Yes, but it won''t take up too much of your time." He nodded while pointing to a seat.
Hearing that, she squinted her eyes as she nced at the seat and at the displeased crowd. "Did
something happen at Area Seven? Are you suspecting that I did it and want me here just to question
me?"
"Hmph, you yourself should know what you''ve done. Just confess it to save yourself from the
embarrassment of being exposed." Jordan red at her as he warned her.
After taking a better look at Jordan, Katherine was sure that they hadn''t met before and was puzzled by
his usations. "What have I done? Do tell me what I''ve done."
"You even have the guts to say it''s not you who have stolen the confidential data of Area Seven from
Joaquin''sputer and leaked it out? Do you know the severity of your actions? Many people will die
because of you!" Jordan red at her with bloodshot eyes, and he had the urge to go up to her and
p her on the face."
"Oh, so you have the final say on this? Where''s the evidence?" Katherine folded her arms and nced
at him coldly as she found what he said interesting. He was trying to use her without any evidence.
"You''ve previously entered Joaquin''s room where hisputer was and this happened after you left
here. Ever since Area Seven was established, nothing like this had happened until you came. Isn''t it
obvious that you are the one behind all these? Don''t think that you can do whatever you want here by
seducing Joaquin with your good looks!" Jordan sneered.
She was speechless after hearing that, and she realized that she had brought trouble upon herself by
coming over to save someone prior to this.
"You were also in the room when I was resting, weren''t you? Did you see me touch yourputer?
Didn''t you exin it to them?" She raised her brow and looked at Joaquin.
Everyone in the room was surprised upon hearing what she said. It was unexpected of her to speak
about such things nonchntly. Jordan''s expression turned grim, after which he looked at both Joaquin
and Katherine in disbelief as he wasn''t expecting to hear such breaking news.
Hearing that, Joaquin coughed and admitted to it. "That''s right, I was getting some work done in the
room while you were sleeping, and I didn''t leave."
"So, you asked me over here just for fun?" Katherineughed.
"Not really. A few of the patients that you have treated earlier on would like for you to check on
something, which is why I asked you over. Therefore, you can see them now."
