Gabriella felt anxious. She also felt a deep sense of fear, which caused her to quickly turn to her brother. She shouted at him because she was panicking, “Jasper, this can't be happening!”. She couldn't believe that Nova, Isla, and the cyber cafe owner weren't inside the cyber cafe. Without thinking much, she shoved Captain Tristan, who was standing in front of her, and entered the cyber cafe. “I must see with my own eyes. There's no way that no one is inside there!”. She declared. “Gabriella, what are you doing?!”. Jasper asked her, and because she didn't answer him and was now inside the cyber cafe, he followed her. Jasper went after Gabriella into the cyber cafe mainly because he instinctively thought that being inside the cyber cafe at a moment like now was dangerous. Additionally, he could never allow or permit anything bad to happen to his little sister under his watch. After Gabriella and Jasper entered the cyber cafe, Captain Tristan stood there puzzled. He was stunn
{Flashback on what happened yesterday}On the rooftop,Vanessa arrived at the rooftop with Blake. Her back was facing him, so she turned around and looked at him. Unknown to both of them, Eric and Derek were spying and eavesdropping on them from a safe distance. Vanessa didn't hesitate and said to him, “We are already on the rooftop, Blake. You can feel at ease and tell me what's wrong. Back in my office, you told me you were desperate. Why is that? Is your problem so bad that it's making you feel desperate?”. Blake nodded at Vanessa. It was strange for him to say what was inside his mind, but he still went ahead and said, “Chairman Vanessa, my sister has been feeling so down and devastated. She has refused to eat anything, and she's getting skinnier as we speak. I had to return to the city because the nanny in charge of taking care of my sister was so worried about her that she would not stop calling me. Please, you have to do something about this, chairman Vanessa. My little sist
Vanessa got out of bed. She tried her best to stay calm, but in the end, she ruffled her hair aggressively.“Why is all of this happening to me? I don't understand. How come Claire is not the one who betrayed me and caused my company to go bankrupt? I, myself, found out that she was involved in it. There's no way I'm wrong. My hacking results have never proved me wrong before”. Vanessa said to herself. She was not ready to accept that she was wrong. To be sure that she wasn't busy deceiving herself or being overconfident, Vanessa quickly rushed to the desk. Her laptop was on top of the desk. She unfolded the laptop and switched it on right away. It took only a few seconds of loading, and the laptop was finally switched on. Vanessa began typing fast. She was searching for information concerning Claire by using her hacking abilities. Once again, with the help of her hacking abilities, Vanessa found out that Claire was truly Blake's little sister. Not only that, she again saw that
After brushing her teeth, Vanessa left her room and went to the living room. Although there were so many thoughts going on inside her mind, she tried her best to look natural. ‘Until I figure out what the heck is happening, I can't allow Derek and Eric to continue working for my company. I smell something fishy. And unless I figure out what's fishy, I feel so unsettled allowing Derek and Eric to keep on working in my company’. Vanessa thought to herself, because when she was still inside her bedroom, she came to realise something.It was possible that someone else had framed Claire. And it was also possible that Claire was pretending to be the victim. So, unless she figures out the real truth, Vanessa did not want Eric and Derek to be involved in anything concerning her company at the moment. After Vanessa had arrived in the living room and could not find anyone there, she left for outside, as she desperately needed to get a breath of fresh air.She was walking around with her hand
Upon her arrival inside the living room again, Vanessa walked into Xavier’s bedroom corridor. She knocked on the door several times, and because Xavier did not open the door for her, she assumed that he was purposely ignoring her. “Good for you, Xavier. Good to you for ignoring me. Tsk. You think I don't have anything better to do? Well, you're wrong. I have to visit the cyber cafe more often now if I want to find out the real truth”. “Everything is quite confusing. Is Claire a good person or not? Is she the betrayer or not? Was she framed by someone or not? I'm even more confused because my hacking has shown me the same results over and over again”.“What's happening? I've never done anything wrong to Claire before, so it might not be her doing after all. I thought I was a great hacker who could easily figure out everything”. “There's no way that Blake could lie to me and defend Claire, unless Claire had hidden the truth from him, or maybe not”. “Seriously, without Blake, I don'
The police headquarters,Captain Tristan was inside his office, and from the looks on his face, he was having a bad time. He had already ruffled his hair several times because he had never felt so pathetic like this in his entire life before. Last night, Tristan and his team spent the whole night searching for clues about Isla, Nova and the cyber cafe owner's whereabouts. During their search, they couldn't find out even a single detail or clues about them.Tristan was even more angry with himself because he had assured Gabriella and Jasper that he would find and arrest the culprits in less than 24 hours. But how was he going to do that now, when the only clue he had was the proof that Gabriella had given to him yesterday morning? Tristan slammed the desk with his faded scarred palms as he stood up. The frown on his face deepened and he clenched his fists. “If I eventually catch those three in the future, they'll pay a big deal for being so difficult to find”. He promised. After pu
Exactly 40 minutes later, Finn had already returned to the living room about 10 minutes ago. He went to the dining room and sat down, while patiently waiting for breakfast to be served. He was in a hurry to leave the mansion because Vanessa had called him earlier in the morning to meet her at her cyber cafe. “Why is breakfast taking so long? Vanessa doesn't have all day to wait for me. What if she's already at the cyber cafe and is waiting for me?”. Finn muttered and sighed. He checked the time on his wristwatch and saw that it was 8am. Not wanting to waste Vanessa's time and keep her waiting for him, Finn stood up from his seat. He had made up his mind to leave the dining room. But before he could even take a step forward, the head maid arrived in the dining room with some trays of food in both her hands. “Sorry to keep you waiting, young master Finn. There was an accident in the kitchen, that was why it took me a long time to serve breakfast". The head maid explained to Finn, as
“Eh? What did you say, Finn? The food tasted horrible?!”. Amy exclaimed. To be sure that she wasn't imagining things, she curiously looked at the dining table and saw the way all the dishes were still empty. Amy placed both her hands on her waist, and with a frown on her face, she asked Finn, “Since you said the food tasted horrible, why did you finish everything and not leave any of the food for us?”.“Em”. Finn was sweating. He was rapidly thinking of an excuse because all eyes were focused on him. He did not ever want to compliment Hannah about whatever she did perfectly, because he knew that would make her come close to him and pester his life. After Finn recalled what Mrs Jenny had told him earlier, and after he saw Hannah's injured fingers, he finally thought of what to say, thanks to that. He kept a poker face before he pointed a finger at Hannah and replied to Amy, “Mom, I simply finished the whole food because I had compassion. Earlier, Mrs Jenny informed me that an acciden
