"Hi, I'm Liana Legrand, and I helped you because I need your help!" Liana spoke staring at her. "My help? With what?" Stevie asked suspiciously, after all, they didn't know each other in any way, so why would she need your help? "Are you sure I'm the right person?" "Yes, I'm sure you're the person I'm looking for!" She said, staring at him. "I need your help because you are the only person who possesses the skills I need!" "What do you mean?" Stevie was confused. "With what skill of mine can I help you? With so much that I don't have to violate any moral codes, or do anything bad, I can help." "Hasn't life beaten you enough already?" Liana asked. "Then what's the point of keeping yourself good, when everyone else has been bad?" At Liana's speech Stevie frowned, did she want him to do something immoral? "You're right, I'm already at rock bottom, but I'd rather die without seeing daylight in this well than do something that doesn't represent me, something that harms my fellow ma
In the morning, Stevie arrived at the Legrand family home with her sister, and all they carried with them was a small luggage with what little stuff they had. Peter, when he saw that they would have company, welcomed everyone with open arms, and although he suspected that they were up to something big, he decided that he would not interfere, because he trusted his niece and his son, and knew that they would do nothing wrong. Liana on the other hand arranged her own rooms, and since the house was large, so there were many empty rooms, and so she could house everyone. "You and your sister can stay here until you find a house that suits you!" Liana spoke as she led them into the guest room. The room had French windows that opened onto a balcony, a soft carpet, and all the basic amenities, and Stevie couldn't help but get teary-eyed, after all, this was the first time he had stayed in a room like that. However, his instinct told him that this was only the beginning of the positive c
"Stevie, you are here by my brother's side to help me with whatever tasks come up!" Liana replied. "Miss Legrand!" Stevie lost his patience. "Do you even know how to program? Do you know how many hours and days it took me to create the basis for that software? Even if you had the best team, it would take months, and programming is not like a walk in the park, so let's be more realistic?" As soon as Stevie finished speaking, Jack started laughing at the look on Stevie's face, who didn't understand what he had said wrong, or why they seemed to be so smug. "That's enough!" Liana spoke seriously. "Regardless of whether you believe it or not, your job for the next five days is to concentrate completely on the tasks I give you. And, only after that, can you continue your lectures!" "But..." Stevie was about to argue, but Jack just touched him by making the sign of denial with his head. "Stevie, don't waste your time debating with my sister, she is exceptionally talented in this depart
William didn't know that Liana was participating in the national competition, but the fact that they didn't expect to finish just showed how much they wanted to get her done as soon as possible. The partnership between Tech Corps and TXT would be signed that day, or at least that's what William hoped would happen. So they purposely went into action that day, because they were afraid that Liana would show up and ruin all their plans, so they needed to act as quickly as possible. Besides, if they filed charges after the partnership was signed, it would look like they were bullying her, which would damage their reputation. But, being honest, being sued by them was nothing to Liana, she expected everything from them, in fact, she had evidence to support her accusation, however, it was still too early to show it. Because the evidence she had could only bring down Anika, but not William and Aisha and if she showed it now, it would give them the upper hand. If it was any other day, she co
"I don't think you have the guts to do anything in public!" Stevie spoke up taking a step back. "What are you waiting for? Get him!" William shouted to his men, who immediately went on Stevie. Stevie tried to fight them off and run, but the few guards there were too strong, and they pinned him to the ground, and in the middle of the struggle the CD with all the program data on it fell to the ground and landed on William's foot, and Stevie felt a lump form in his throat. "Will you let me go please?" Stevie asked as he tried to retrieve the CD, but just as his hand was about to reach for it, but William's leather shoe stepped on the CD with propriety, and at that moment, William could feel his soul leaving his body. "Seeing your reaction, I believe there must be something important here!" he spoke observing Stevie's reactions. That CD was too important, in fact, that CD meant hope and a new beginning for both him and his friends, and without it, they had no chance of defeating W
On the way to the police station, Liana was thinking of several ways to find a solution to her problem right now, and she had to find a way out before 10:30, which was when the competition started, and everything would be fine if she could get there before then, but it was already 10 o'clock. And Liana felt that she wouldn't be able to get out of this mess in half an hour, and everything was confirmed when she arrived at the police station. When she arrived at the police station, she saw Aisha and Anika getting out of a black car, and behind them was a lawyer, and as hard as she tried, Aisha couldn't hide the smile on her face when she saw Liana in the back seat of the police as if she were a criminal. "Liana Legrand!" Mother and daughter walked over to the car Liana was in, and started talking. "I bet you didn't see that coming, right? You thought you had us beat with that party, but just look at your situation, and I'm going to make you pay for slandering my name!" Liana knew
"Are you guys not listening to me?" Anika asked from beside her daughter, who seemed to be feeling ill. "Arrest this woman!" "I'm going to speak for the last time, go in and separate them, and handcuff anyone who refuses to cooperate!" The police chief ordered, and the room was finally at peace. "Liana, you are courting death, and I will make sure your wish is fulfilled." Aisha spoke facing the woman in front of her, and then looked at the policemen. "What are you doing, standing there doing nothing? Arrest that bitch!" Aisha thought she still had control over things, but the boss just rolled her eyes, had she not realized that with the arrival of Edward's secretary, things had changed? "Ms. Libanes, I have to inform you that you have paid Liana's bail, and we will investigate further about the allegation she gave, but as of now, she is a free woman!" The police chief replied. "What did you say?" Aisha asked in surprise. "Edward White posted her bail, so she's free to go!" The
All the CEOs and representatives of the participating companies were present, and there was an area reserved only for the VIPs who would occasionally look down and check the situation, and inside this room was a huge television, and on it were the names of the security software and the time taken by them to create it, and the last column shows the average time of each software, and the higher the average time, the better the software, because that meant that the hackers needed more time to get through their defense. By this time, most of the software produced by smaller companies had been deleted, and this happened every year. As the most famous security software in the country, everyone expected Tech Corps' product to survive to the end, and William was confident, after all, it had been 30 minutes since the start of the competition. His product was still undefeated. All other software had been hacked at least once... except one! "President Lebanon, don't you think there are a lot of
