    Chapter 132


    "Darn it! Why does my wound hurt so badly?" Joaquin cursed, his face full of frustration.


    Ever since he took the shot that Katherine brought over, his wound had been hurting, and even the


    painkillers and analgesia pumps he took were not effective at all.


    Ben looked at him cautiously. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Mr. Levisay, that''s because you


    reopened your wound, and the new injury caused the pain to increase. Even painkillers would be of


    little use. Besides, you''ve never felt any pain before, so now that you''ve suddenly recovered…"


    "Enough. Get lost," Joaquin berated mercilessly.


    He didn''t want to know the reason at all. As he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, he could now


    be sure that Katherine was doing it on purpose and deliberately made him experience what it was like


    to be in pain.


    Unfortunately, no matter how angry he was, she wouldn''t be able to see it as she had gone back to


    Soulin International and enjoyed a hot bath before heading to bed. When she got up early the next


    morning, she received a phone call from a courier.


    Katherine asked the other party in confusion after answering the phone, "I didn''t buy anything. What is


    the delivery for?"


    "I''m sorry, Miss Cornell, but we''re not sure either. However, outsiders are not allowed to enter your


    neighborhood. I''m currently at the entrance. Can youe out and take the parcel?" The person on


    the phone sounded courteous and polite.


    After racking her brain, she still did not know what it was. There were not many people who knew her


    address here, and she usually had her things delivered to the research institute.


    "Alright, give me a minute." After a long silence, she agreed and hung up the phone.


    She rummaged through her closet for a shirt and put it on before she headed downstairs to retrieve the


    parcel at the entrance.


    At the entrance, a young man in a postal uniform was waiting. Upon seeing Katherine, he stepped


    forward with a smile and handed her an exquisite box. "Miss Cornell, here''s your parcel. Please sign


    over here."


    Katherine weighed the small parcel in her hand; it was very light. Taking the pen from the mailman, she


    signed the courier slip before epting the box.


    As he watched her walk away with the box in her hand, the corners of the mailman''s lips curled up into


    a yful smile.


    Katherine walked home while unpacking the parcel. After removing the outer packaging, she found a


    small ck box inside, which made her frown in impatience.


    Am I being pranked?


    Inside the box was another box. It was only after dismantling six boxes that she finally saw an exquisite


    sh drive with the letters ''NSL'' on it. Katherine scowled at the sight. Just then, the elevator arrived,


    and she walked inside. When the doors closed, she looked at the sh drive in her hand, unable to


    figure out what could be inside.


    Once she returned home, she turned on herptop and clicked on a red spider icon within a hidden


    folder. Then, she logged in and sent a message to a group chat.


    Q asked, ''Which one of you delivered something to me?''


    A Funny Guy replied, ''Boss, did someone send you something? Who dared to do that before me? This


    is too much, boss. Just give me a minute. I''ll make arrangements for you right away.''


    Taking a Trip to Heaven denied, ''Boss, I didn''t do it. It wasn''t me.''


    An Escaping Wave asked, ''Boss, what did you receive? Hurry up and entertain us. It''s not a prank, is


    it?''


    The group chat was filled with messages, but none of them admitted to it.


    Katherine frowned. If it wasn''t from them, something was off about the sh drive. Thinking that, she


    yed with it in her hand for a long time before she went to get a newptop and plugged it in. Just as


    the sh drive was plugged into theptop, the screen turned ck. Seeing that, she frowned. How


    dare someone try to hack myputer?


    She typed a series ofmands on the keyboard, and theptop soon returned to normal, but she did


    not stop there. Instead, she proceeded to counter the malware and hacked into the opponent''s


    computer, transferring all the information from theirs to her own, and imnting a Trojan horse virus as


    she went.


    After doing so, she rolled her eyes. How brave of them to get up to no good with these mediocre skills.


    They''re messing with the wrong person.


    Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    After removing the sh drive and throwing it into the trash can, Katherine took a look at the information


    on theptop. Instantly, her expression changed, and she only reached out and rubbed her temples


    after a long time. If any of this information was leaked out, it would spell disaster.


    She switched off theptop, then got up and left the house. Two hourster, she arrived at the door of


    Ben''s clinic.


    "Miss Cornell? What brings you here?" Ben asked, his face full of surprise when he saw Katherine.


    She gave him a nod and walked into the clinic without saying anything, heading straight to Joaquin''s


    ward.


    Joaquin was extremely cranky from the pain, and when he saw Katherine walking over, he looked at


    her with a displeased expression. "Did youe to make fun of me?"


    "I have something important to tell you," Katherine said, her face extremely solemn without a trace of a


    smile.


    Seeing her expression, Joaquin took a deep breath and suppressed his stormy temper, struggling to


    remain calm. "Speak."


    However, Katherine remained silent and walked over to raise the overbed table, then reached out and


    helped him to sit up, even tucking a pillow behind his back while she was at it.


    Joaquin looked at her in confusion, but she didn''t even look at him and quickly switched on theptop


    she had brought over, then clicked on a folder and yed one of the videos inside.


    At first, Joaquin''s face was full of disinterest, but after he saw the contents of the video clearly, the air


    around him turned heavy, and his face turned terribly cold. The duration of the video was not long, a


    mere forty seconds, but the atmosphere inside the entire ward was oppressive and terrifying, as if a


    storm was about toe.


    "What do you think?" Katherine asked after he had finished watching the video.


    "Where did you get this?" His eyes were grim as he looked at her.


    As there was nothing to hide, Katherine told him about everything that had happened. "That about


    sums it up. I hacked the other party''sputer, and all of this data was from theirputer."


    "Please give me a copy of it. Thank you." Joaquin pursed his lips for a long time before he spoke with


    some difficulty.


    The impact the video had on him was too much. Even now, he wasn''t able to get over it, and his mind


    was steeped in a huge amount of shock that he couldn''t get out of.


    Katherine nodded and didn''t say much. Shepressed the files and sent them to Joaquin. He didn''t


    ask how she knew his email address either as he was extremely conflicted and didn''t have the heart to


    think about anything else.
