Jane conducted further investigations into the organizers behind these competitions.
She sat in front of the computer, investigating the matter, while Patrick forcefully made her wear a radiation suit.
He silently stood by her side, keeping watch.
Jane was originally a top-notch hacker, even more skilled than Anthony. She deliberately infiltrated the competition’s system.
Although she didn’t find any suspicious activities, everyone knew that there must be something going on behind the scenes.
So Jane compiled the separate videos of their matches and released them on the hacker’s official website.
The people on the website were all skilled hackers, and Jane’s expertise was highly respected due to her high level of skill.
After the video was released, it caused a huge stir.
Other hackers started discussing it fervently.
“Isn’t this a blatant insult to us? How can we, the ones behind the scenes, be so disrespected, allowing a newcomer to challenge us?”
Anthony had gained some fame in this circle, but Jane was even more prominent.
She responded, “The opponent is a newcomer. Is it fair to pit a newcomer against a skilled hacker like us? In the end, it undermines our technical prowess.”
Jane’s words resonated with others.
They carefully watched the two matches and even made comparisons.
They discovered that Anthony had the upper hand in terms of skill and speed.
He was always one step ahead of Jane.
Ironically, it was because of the newcomer’s comment that the situation became so divisive.
“I hope everyone will investigate thoroughly to uncover the motives of this newcomer and the organizers.”
After Jane put forward these points, she silently waited for the results.
Meanwhile, Patrick remained on the bed, waiting for her.
“I heard that after my child is born, you want him to follow me and learn about business. Or should he learn from you?”
Patrick had always admired Jane, as she was an incredibly remarkable person who achieved great success in various fields.
Jane glanced at him and said, “Of course, my child will listen to me and follow my path. Definitely not yours in the business world.”
“It seems you’re dissatisfied with my current business,” Patrick replied.
“Your business is just average,” Jane retorted playfully.
The two of them bantered, their voices echoing for a while.
…
Finley finished tidying up in the flower shop and walked out. She noticed that the lights upstairs were still on.
After all, she was the only one living upstairs, so why were the lights on?
She casually picked up a broom and held it in front of herself, stealthily walking upstairs.
Seeing a room with lights on, she quietly pushed open the door and found the sound of a man in the bathroom.
Without hesitation, Finley rushed in, wielding the broom.
“Who are you and why are you here? What’s your purpose? Speak up, what were you trying to steal?”
Anthony turned around, his handsome appearance causing Finley to pause for a moment.
She had never seen such an attractive thief before.
“I’m not a thief; I’m Jane’s apprentice. She asked me to stay here temporarily.”
Anthony explained while picking up the broom from the floor.
Finley was immediately surprised, unable to close her mouth. “You’re the skilled hacker who helped us?”
Jane had mentioned Anthony before, but Finley had never met him in person. She couldn’t believe that Anthony was so good-looking.
In that moment, Finley understood Jane’s intentions.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was too impulsive, and Jane didn’t tell me,” Finley quickly apologized and cleaned up the mess on the floor.
“It’s okay. I heard that you run a flower shop, which is quite tasteful,” Anthony said, having known about Finley beforehand.
The two of them started chatting casually.
The next morning, when Jane called Finley, she realized that she was still not awake.
Curious, she went directly to the backyard and was surprised to see the two of them sitting inside the flower shop, still engrossed in conversation.
There seemed to be a lingering feeling between them.
Jane couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh, “Indeed, women can’t resist.”
“You two seem to be getting along well? You even have dark circles under your eyes,” Jane pointed at Finley’s eyes.
“I think it looks good!” Anthony unexpectedly defended her.
Jane sensed a hint of ambiguity in the air.
“Come with me, I have something to tell you,” Jane pointed at Anthony.
Anthony immediately followed her to the study, with Finley trailing behind.
“Aren’t you busy with your flower shop recently? How do you have time to be idle?” Jane couldn’t help but tease.
Could this be love at first sight? These two seemed to have connected too quickly.
Finley quickly hid in Jane’s room.
“The matter has been resolved. This newcomer should have a connection with the organizers. He’s the person they are promoting, and this competition was tailored for him. But they didn’t expect you to appear, so he became frustrated and blamed everything on you.”
After a night of investigation, Jane had already uncovered the truth behind it all.
“I should have realized it earlier. How could a reception competition be held twice in the same year? It doesn’t make sense!”
In the previous competition, Jane won first place, and her apprentice came in third, just behind her.
It seemed that her apprentice wanted to gain some confidence in this competition, which led to his clumsy actions.
“Now the most important thing is to expose their misdeeds to the public. That’s the only way others will see it,” Jane already had a plan in mind.
“Master, let me handle this matter myself. I don’t want to involve you, and I definitely don’t want you to bear this blame for me.”
Anthony didn’t want Jane to handle this situation for him, as outsiders didn’t know her true identity.
Jane didn’t care about that at all!
“Aren’t you being too foolish? They can easily bully you because they think you have no one backing you. That’s why they act so shamelessly and without limits.” Jane had already figured this out, so she couldn’t let her apprentice take the risk.
“Leave this matter to me. You stay here and I’ll take care of it.”
Jane pointed to the room next door where Finley was, and started gossiping.
“Do you like her?”
With this question, Anthony immediately became shy.
“Master, what are you saying?”
“Why are you shy in front of me? If you like her, then you like her.”
Jane couldn’t stand his hesitancy.
Anthony nodded heavily, and Jane secretly cheered inside.
Now Finley couldn’t escape anymore.
