And Lily, in turn, bullied Abbey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Abbey thought about it, the more furious she became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she turned eighteen, even her fiancé, the man who had been arranged to marry her, often treated her with cold indifference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke to her with an aloof tone and acted as if she was beneath him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Abbey couldn’t understand it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But later, she discovered the truth again. In secret, he actually loved Shay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He treated her coldly yet refused to break off the engagement to keep Shay safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The realization only made Abbey feel more disgusted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she reflected on everything, the more she felt that the Brown family had gotten away far too easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, once they realized she had outlived her usefulness, they simply threw her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the age of eighteen to twenty-three, Abbey struggled alone in the cruel outside world. Her life collapsed piece by piece. There were days when she couldn’t even afford a proper meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Debt piled up like a mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bitter taste of cheap alcohol often lingered in her throat as she forced herself to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to move from one man to another, carefully manipulating them, searching for someone powerful enough to help her climb back to the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was when she encountered Hans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, Hans wasn’t a particularly impressive man. If anything, he was laughably easy to manipulate. However, he possessed several dangerous secrets , secrets that Abbey knew could eventually lead her to greater opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she stayed beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she had finally obtained the money she needed, Abbey decided it was time to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After undergoing plastic surgery to subtly alter her face, she reappeared at the Brown family mansion under a completely new identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A maid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spent a large amount of money fabricating a flawless background, carefully erasing any trace of her past. By the time she finished, the Brown family had absolutely no reason to suspect her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason she chose to enter as a maid was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted information. The deeper and more confidential, the better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the secrets of the Brown family were exposed to the media, the scandal would explode like wildfire. Their reputation would crumble overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at that moment... She would deliver the final blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just imagining it sent a thrilling shiver down Abbey’s spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That excitement alone was enough to keep her going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after infiltrating the mansion, Abbey quickly realized something frustrating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This family was far dirtier than she expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were countless pieces of evidence hidden inside the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet obtaining them was almost impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maids were not allowed to carry phones inside the mansion. They weren’t even allowed to approach the family members directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever they cleaned a room, they were supervised by two people, one trusted employee and another hired purely for their professional qualifications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, surveillance cameras covered nearly every corner of the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to secretly take photos or collect evidence was extremely difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Abbey refused to give up. If she couldn’t take photos... Then she would memorize everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every document. Every suspicious conversation. Every hidden deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method was exhausting and painfully slow. Even after weeks of work, she could only remember about half of the information she encountered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But every single night, she returned to her small maid quarters and carefully wrote down everything she had witnessed that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an extremely dangerous task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone discovered her notes, she would be finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people in her position would have given up long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Abbey endured everything with one burning determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to wipe the Brown family off the face of the earth. Completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After gathering a significant amount of information, Abbey felt a surge of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she suddenly remembered Aurora’s deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the slightest hesitation, Abbey compiled most of the information she had collected...and sent it directly to Aurora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora began carefully checking through the information Abbey had sent her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, she thought it would be just another simple investigation, but the deeper she read, the more confused she became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brows slowly furrowed as the glow of the screen illuminated her face in the dim room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Brown family... in fact, had not been some ancient or powerful, wealthy family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty years ago, they had been almost insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, everything suddenly changed when the head of the Brown family came up with an astonishing idea related to artificial intelligence and advanced technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a few short years, he founded a technology company that grew at an unbelievable speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty years ago, he had already become one of the wealthiest billionaires in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten years after that, his wealth skyrocketed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He eventually became the richest man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora leaned back in her chair slowly, her fingers lightly tapping against the desk as she stared at the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Something is wrong...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for her confusion was painfully simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his sudden rise, the head of the Brown family had been nothing more than a criminal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A real criminal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a long history of illegal dealings, underground activities, and shady connections. His entire past was filled with violence and manipulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So for someone like that to suddenly have a brilliant breakthrough in AI technology... it simply didn’t make sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora narrowed her eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Even geniuses need time, education, and research to reach that level.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But according to the records, the man had never even attended college. He didn’t possess a single professional degree related to technology, engineering, or programming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So where did he obtain such advanced knowledge?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora wasn’t looking down on him. After all, talent could appear in the most unexpected people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However... His credentials were extremely suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora even briefly considered another possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Did he steal someone else’s work?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn’t be impossible. If he had somehow taken credit for another person’s research and then built an empire on top of it, that would explain many things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But confirming such a theory required something far more complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It required deep hacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora quietly remembered something Spencer had once told her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she ever wanted to access the deeper layers of the hacker world... the underworld networks... she should give the task to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spencer was far more experienced in navigating those dangerous digital circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, Aurora immediately contacted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She forwarded the files and explained the situation. After reading everything, Spencer replied quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll investigate it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, another message arrived. \"Give me until tonight. I should have an answer by then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s eyes brightened slightly. ’By tonight...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She patiently waited the entire night. But no message came. Not even a single update.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time morning arrived, the soft sunlight creeping through the curtains, Aurora could no longer hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sent Spencer a message. An hour later, he finally replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I tried infiltrating the circle. But I realized something. It’s much more difficult than I expected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora leaned forward slightly, reading carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another message appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want real results, give me at least ten days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora fell silent for a moment. ’Ten days...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought about it for a while before slowly nodding to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten days wasn’t a long time. Nothing significant would change within such a short period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she replied with a simple agreement. Still...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new thought quietly appeared in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Just who exactly is this hacker?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Spencer to spend ten whole days trying to break through their defenses... that was something Aurora had never seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curiosity in her heart only deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, while Aurora was digging through information, Alex and Adeline decided to go out on a date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them had been overwhelmed with office work recently. Endless meetings, documents, negotiations... it all piled up like a mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They desperately needed a moment to breathe. So they chose a location far away from their office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quiet high-end café located on a peaceful street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The café was elegant and modern, with soft jazz music playing gently in the background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex and Adeline sat across from each other, casually chatting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex suddenly looked around the café.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze slowly swept across the interior. Then he muttered quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This place feels... strangely familiar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline raised an eyebrow. \"What do you mean familiar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced around the café as well. \"This place only opened a month ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned slightly forward, confusion written clearly on her face. \"So how could you possibly find it familiar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex turned to look at her, opening his mouth as if he wanted to explain something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could say anything...
