Chapter 302: Chapter 295
The dim light of the small clinic cast uneven shadows on Carlos’s sharply defined face.
“You’ve been on the move all day.”
Carlos’s voice was deep, “Go back and rest.”
Yet Emily Parker had already pulled over a chair to sit down. Today, she was wearing a loose beige knit sweater, and her rounded belly cast a gentle curve under the light.
But her gaze was sharp as a knife,
“Carlos, we are husband and wife.”
She looked up, her eyes staring straight into Carlos’s,
“I don’t want our child to bear a baseless cri from the mont they’re born.”
A tremor ran through Carlos’s heart. Countless tis in the past, whenever he faced various challenges, there was no one by his side. But now, Emily had reached out her fair hand and grasped his tightly.
“Okay.”
In the end, he only managed to say one word, yet it carried more weight than any lavish vow.
The blue glow of the laptop screen illuminated their faces.
Carlos’s slender fingers danced across the keyboard, the code on the screen scrolling like a waterfall.
Emily sat beside him, the night outside gradually enveloping the entire city, as darkness was always fleeting.
“Found it.”
Carlos suddenly spoke, his voice tinged with restrained excitent. Information popped up on the screen about Yuriko maintaining various male models and her misconduct, “But it’s still not enough…”
He tried to hack into the internal system of the COCO Group, but during multiple attempts, he was thwarted by an exceptionally strong firewall.
A red warning box flashed on the screen, casting a frown upon his brow.
“Their firewall…”
Carlos squinted, his fingers hovering above the keyboard, “It’s Benjamin Lane’s handiwork.”
Carlos glanced at Emily beside him, shrugged sowhat helplessly, and said,
“You are also an outstanding hacker, you should know about Benjamin Lane, right?
He’s considered the best hacker of our ti. When I competed against him before, I lost to him at the very last mont.”
Carlos was a proud man, rarely admitting he was inferior to soone, but Benjamin was an exception…
anwhile, in the corridor of the Carlton Grand Hotel, Rainny White was hiding in a corner, holding her mouth tightly shut.
She was wearing a six-figure outfit given to her by COCO, but she felt like she was trapped in an ice cave.
She looked at the news on her phone.
The overwhelming news about Carlos made her suddenly realize that she had set Brother Carter up.
Terrified, Rainny tried to pull out her phone; she wanted to contact Brother Carter, unaware that Yuriko would fra him.
But before Rainny could retrieve her phone, she heard footsteps coming from the direction of the elevator.
Yuriko’s suite was the presidential suite, with the entire floor having only one room.
A man’s deep voice ca from around the corner.
Rainny saw Adam Willow and Evan Palr approaching.
“President Palr, are we really doing the right thing?”
“A fly doesn’t bite a seamless egg. He’s the one who courted death by wanting to fight .”
Evan snorted coldly.
Adam was silent for a mont and then didn’t say another word.
At this ti, the door to the presidential suite opened.
Evan walked in.
Adam took out his phone and walked away.
Rainny hesitated for a mont, then quietly moved to the door of the presidential suite.
As the door to the presidential suite swung open for a mont, she heard voices inside.
“Don’t worry, my word is my bond. As soon as the deed is done, 5% of the Carter Clan’s shares will imdiately be transferred to your na.” Evan’s voice ca through the half-open door, “However… Carlos is holding a press conference tomorrow, your information…”
Yuriko’s dismissive chuckle ca through: “Relax, our firewall was personally designed by Benjamin Lane. Unless it’s him, no one can crack it, and Benjamin is extrely difficult to reach. The reason we could get him to design the firewall for the COCO Group was only because of our Chief Designer Coco’s acquaintance with him.”
With those words, Yuriko burst into giggles.
“President Palr, you’re so naughty…”
The playful banter between the man and woman followed.
Rainny’s nails dug deep into her palm.
She finally understood that she had beco a knife in soone else’s hand, a knife aid at Carlos.
She trembled as she pulled out her phone, yet hesitated before hitting the dial button—would Carlos still trust her now?
Just as she hesitated, suddenly, a hand reached out from behind her, snatching the phone away.
Rainny was taken aback and turned to see Adam Willow standing behind her with a serious expression.
“Doctor Willow…”
Rainny turned pale, retreating a few steps in a hurry.
Adam made a close movent, pulling her to the side.
“Rainny, you heard everything?”
Adam looked at her with a serious expression.
Rainny didn’t dare to make a sound.
“You can’t make this call.”
Adam warned in a deep voice.
“You’re trying to harm Brother Carter! Doctor Willow, I always thought you were a good person, I didn’t expect you to…”
Rainny said angrily.
“I am not a good person, and neither are you. Don’t forget how the child in your belly ca to be. If I tell Carlos the truth, do you think he will let you give birth to his child?”
Adam’s words made Rainny’s complexion turn extrely unpleasant.
“Rainny, listen to .
Carlos will still be the young master of the Carter Family, living a life of ease even if he leaves the Carter Clan. But you are different. If he finds out you’ve sched against him repeatedly, he will never forgive you. For your own sake and for the child in your belly, you cannot make this call.”
Rainny bit her lip and thought it over. In the end, she still put down the phone.
Late at night, in the small clinic.
Carlos pinched the bridge of his nose.
He had failed consecutively over a dozen tis.
Emily’s eyelashes gently fluttered,
she subtly took over the computer,
“Why not? Let give it a try.”
Carlos raised an eyebrow but still stepped aside.
He watched as Emily’s slender fingers danced over the keyboard, typing a series of dazzling commands.
The fluid operation, the unique decryption approach… a sudden revelation struck Carlos’s mind.
From the world hacking competition five years ago, the mysterious opponent who narrowly defeated him by 0.1 seconds, the world’s top-ranked Benjamin Lane.
It was that competition where he ranked second.
“You are Benjamin Lane?”
His voice was filled with incredulity.
Emily did not answer, but the slight upward curve of her lips said it all.
The firewall on the screen was disintegrating layer by layer, like snow lting.
Finally, an encrypted folder was successfully extracted—detailing Yuriko’s embezzlent and bribery over the years, including her secret correspondence with Evan Palr.
Carlos chuckled lowly, the laughter carrying unprecedented ease and joy,
“I should have thought of this sooner.”
“I should have thought of it sooner too. Hello, Tis, let reintroduce myself; I am Benjamin Lane.”
Emily blinked.
