Chapter 386
Chapter 386 She’s a Hacker
Skr would have fallen in love with that smile right away had it been in the past. However, now she
could only think how fake the smile was, yet she didn''t say anything about it. Not like it would do her
any good. She figured the one who was in her way of getting to Jethro''s heart was Elspeth. If she
doesn''t shine that much anymore, perhaps Jethro would finally look at me. Skr was in a dilemma.
She knew it was a bad thought, but she had no idea how to stop it from spreading.
N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Jethro noticed the woman spacing out with an eerie smile hanging on her lips. She looks creepy. "Why
are you spacing out, Skr?"
She snapped out of it and shook her head. "I''m fine. Well then, now that I''ve delivered the contract, I
should get back to work."
Jethro nodded with a smile. "Sure thing."
…
Just when Elspeth thought the affair wasing to an end, another problem showed up. An ount
called ElspethHater popped up and started a long thread.
Elspeth read the thread, and she frowned. The thread said that Elspeth was the one who puked at the
bar, and itpared Elspeth and Skr''s profiles. Obviously, Elspeth was slimmer than Skr, and if
this went on, there would be trouble. Left with no choice, she opened an alternate ount to argue
with the poster.
Elspethmented, ''It''s just angle problems. You can''t tell them apart just from their body shape
alone. You''d have to have perfect sight for it.''
The poster retorted, ''This is obvious enough. That woman looked a lot more like Elspeth, not Skr.
The body shape, the way she moves, her gait. Everything points to Elspeth.''
''You sure do keep a close eye on thedy. Are you a pervert?''
''I just want to find out the truth. How does that make me a pervert?''
''It was dark. Nobody could see anything. How are you so sure that was Elspeth? Not like you know
her.''
''Heh. You don''t know her, either.''
''Of course. She had dinner with Jethro and went to a concert together.''
''But so far, I believe there''s no information about where Elspeth had gone to or what she was doing.
So, how did you find out about it?''
At that, the poster stopped replying. The crowd was still watching with interest, and now that the poster
wasn''t saying anything, they thought Elspeth had won.
''Go on. You were making very good points. Or were you just lying? Or perhaps you''re actually a stalker.
That''s why you know what she did.''
Still, the poster said nothing. No matter what the answer was, it wouldn''t do well for them. If they
confessed to being a stalker, they would bebeled a pervert, and nobody would believe their thread.
People would think they were up to something no good. And if they confessed that everything was a lie,
then the whole thread would have meant nothing.
Elspeth knew she had won this argument, but she couldn''t be happy about it. I''ve never told anyone
about this. Jethro might be a flippant guy, but he wouldn''t start any trouble. This isn''t his style. So, that
leaves… She narrowed her eyes. She had a n to deal with this.
Two minutester, ElspethHater deleted the thread all of a sudden, and the crowd was starting to take
Elspeth''s side. Now, they believed that Skr was the woman in the photo, and thanks to this thread,
Skr and Jethro gained even more fans. A blessing in disguise, so to speak.
Once everything was done, Elspeth called Skr, and Skr sounded nervous. "What''s wrong, Skr?
You sound nervous." Elspeth smiled.
"I''m fine, Miss Lynwood. So, what is it?"
"It''s nothing. Just wondering why you haven''t posted the video. Jethro did, but you haven''t."
Beads of sweat formed on Skr''s forehead. "I-I was busy, so I forgot."
Beads of sweat formed on Skr''s forehead. "I-I was busy, so I forgot."
"What were you working on? I don''t remember giving you any tasks."
Nervously, Skr replied, "It''s just something I did myself. I can''t stay idle, after all."
Elspeth nodded. "True. Tell me what you were working on. If you have done well, I can reward you."
Skr knew Elspeth must have found out about something, but she wanted to bet on the off chance
that Elspeth knew nothing. "Miss Lynwood, I—"
Elspeth chortled. "Calm down. I''m not ming you."
"Um, did you…" Skr wanted to ask if Elspeth had found out about something but didn''t have the guts
to do that.
Elspeth didn''t intend to expose her. Instead, she said, "You''re still working for me. If you try to start
anything you shouldn''t, I wille down on you." She was not a kind woman. She was fair but not
kind. Anyone who tried to hurt her would be hurt in return.
Skr felt her back drenched in sweat. I knew it. She knows.
Elspeth smiled and fiddled with her ring. Nonchntly, she said, "You did well. I''m going to give you
150 grand. Take it from the finance departmentter."
Her words confused Skr. I tried to sabotage her, so why is she giving me a bonus? "Miss Lynwood, I
—"
Elspeth interjected, "You what? You shot a video with Jethro and settled the impending crisis of the
photo, didn''t you? You deserve a reward."
Oh, she''s just ying dumb. "Thank you, Miss Lynwood."
"Sure thing. But you should learn a bit ofputer stuff from me. You didn''t even hide your IP
address."
Skr''s eyes went wide with shock. Sh*t. I almost forgot. The president might look friendly, but she
used to be one of the most fearsome hackers around. "I-I understand." She hung up nervously and
looked at the logout screen, conflicting emotions stirring in her heart. Feels like I just got out of a certain
death.
