LOGINOn our wedding night, my wife, Gwen Everett, has received a classified mission that requires her to go on an urgent business trip. After watching her leave with a smile on my face, I quickly turn on the GPS locator in her phone right away. The locator shows that she's making a beeline toward a love motel. Immediately, I hack into the motel's security cameras. In the monitor, I can see Gwen making love to my younger brother, Deacon Hopkins, passionately. After they've used three packs of condoms, Gwen shields her belly while whining cutely to Deacon, "Be gentle to me. Don't hurt the baby, okay?" Deacon just smirks as he begins peppering kisses all over her, making her blush brightly. "Then you should get pregnant for a few more times. At the end of the day, Derek's the one raising them anyway." My heart feels as though it has gotten plunged into the icy abyss. At that moment, my department calls me and asks me about Gwen's whereabouts. As I watch the couple entangling with each other on the screen, I reply calmly, "I want to report Gwen Everett for forging her schedule. She might have betrayed the nation by fleeing with core technology."
View MoreMom fell to her knees before me and wept uncontrollably."Derek, I'm begging you, please save Deacon! He was severely beaten up in prison and he's currently being rushed to the hospital for treatment… Can't you just go talk to the higher-ups and ask them to grant him medical parole?"If anything bad happens to him, I won't have the strength to live anymore—and neither will your dad."I inhaled deeply and spoke in an eerily calm voice, "Mom, he only has himself to blame."He didn't get himself into a mere kids' fight this time. And I've already shown him plenty of mercy by not kicking him farther when he was down."I took a step away from her and shook her hand off. "Go back home. And don't come here again anymore."Then, I turned to leave. But right at that moment, a deafening explosion was heard from not too far away from me.Piercing alarms blared from every corner of the building. My expression dropped as I immediately rushed toward the direction of the explosion.It was the
Deacon was taken away on the spot, while Gwen and Anton were also detained.The entire office went as silent as a graveyard. Everyone was stunned and speechless by this sudden turn of events.…The investigation report was displayed for an entire month, and everyone soon knew the full truth.I had put up with undergoing the "investigation" and being put on suspension to snuff out the traitor, making a huge sacrifice and contributing greatly to the National Security Bureau.The bureau also awarded me a medal for my loyalty and sacrifice.At my new role as Chief Technical Advisor, I devoted myself wholeheartedly to my work, leading the team to develop a brand-new security system focused on strengthening the monitoring of internal personnel behavior.Two months later, my divorce proceedings with Gwen were officially finalized.Since she was pregnant, she was not immediately imprisoned. Instead, her sentence was delayed until after the birth of her child.During this time, she rep
A week later, the investigation into my suspension officially ended. Also, I'd gathered more than enough evidence against Deacon from the surveillance footage in my office that would ruin him forever.When I returned to my office, I saw that he was still seated at my workstation.He didn't get up when he saw me. In fact, he just propped his legs a little higher and said, "Oh, you're back, Derek? Sorry, but everyone's been very happy and satisfied with my work performance this past week."Also, the higher-ups have decided in a meeting that this workstation will be mine from now on."As for you, even though you passed the investigation, you caused quite a massive scandal, which left a bad impact. The higher-ups have decided that you're going to have to start from the bottom again as an intern. "They're also going to make my appointment official next month to take over all of your original responsibilities."He finally got up and patted my shoulders, saying, "I'm going to be your b
I took the suspension notice and went straight to Anton's office.Anton was silent for a moment. He looked at me with a complex look in his eyes."Dr. Hopkins, your mom came to us yesterday and reported you for power abuse by framing your younger brother."She said that you deliberately fabricated evidence and charges against him to get revenge on him. She also submitted documented proof of you frequently contacting IP addresses overseas and copying classified information onto your personal devices."I abruptly stood up from my seat."Chief Boyle! You should know that all emails sent have always been under surveillance! And I was simply copying the data for backup!"Anton sighed and said, "I understand your reasoning. But since someone has filed a formal complaint against you, the organization must still initiate an investigation no matter what.""So you suspended me for that? And you're going to let Deacon take my place in the meantime?" I asked, my voice rising instinctively.
