The guard froze for a moment."Uhh, well, we just had the staff check, and it turns out the surveillance system was damaged. Nothing came up."Rachel and Yale both exhaled in unison, relief flooding through them. They were nearly out of their wits.Tyler slammed his palm on the desk with a heavy crack, his voice a low, furious snarl."Impossible! Our company's security system is the best there is. And you're telling me it's been sabotaged, and you can't even find out who did it?"The sheer force behind his anger made the guard stumble back two steps. Head lowered, shoulders trembling, he stammered, "M-Mr. Hunt, we've already sent people to investigate. But it may take some time before we get results."Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, the guard quickly added, "Mr. Hunt, what about Mr. Yale? If we leave this matter to him, I'm sure he'll get to the bottom of it immediately."He shouldn't have said that. The moment Yale's name came up, Tyler's fury deepened. His voice was ic

"Don't worry, I'll handle this."Right after she said that, Tyler's car pulled up. Through the window, he saw Rachel arguing heatedly with a group of men."Cecilia's husband was the one who borrowed the money! What's this got to do with her? Bullying a defenseless woman like this, do you think that's right?""Her husband's gone now, so of course we're coming after her. Here's the IOU—he owed us 200,000. We've already looked into it. The neighborhood her house is in? Prime real estate. If she sells it, she can pay us back with plenty to spare."Rachel quickly defended Cecilia. "That house isn't even hers to sell! She has no grounds to liquidate it.""We don't care! We just want our money. And if she doesn't pay up, don't blame us for getting rough!"One of the men raised the club in his hand.Meanwhile, Yale was still leaning against a tree, looking worse for wear. Rachel gave him a quick glance, then sighed and turned back—he didn't look suspicious. It seemed more like he had

Rachel pouted. "Oh."Dragging her feet, she followed Tyler upstairs, her heart thundering in her chest as though it might burst out.Could he have already picked up on something?Apart from Cecilia, there shouldn't have been anything suspicious.Closing the door behind her, Rachel clenched her fingertips tight and forced herself to appear calm as she stepped forward."What is it?"Suddenly, Tyler spun around and pinned her against the door. His fingers tapped lightly against the wood. The cold gleam off his watch reflected on her."Your acting's not bad, Rachel."Rachel froze for a beat. She then smiled as if confused."I don't know what you're talking about."Tyler leaned closer. His cedar and tobacco scent rubbed off on her."Don't you think Cecilia's reaction was strange? The way she looked at me wasn't like fear at all. It was guilt."Rachel's heart skipped a beat. She knew it—Cecilia's slip had caught his attention.Digging her nails into her palm, she steadied her vo

Rachel froze for a moment. She wasn't sure herself, but at this point, what was done was done. Now, all that mattered was figuring out how to fix it."Don't worry, let's just figure it out along the way."-When Tyler arrived at the company, the entire building was lit up. Instead of going straight in, he only ordered Yale to call in the technicians and the staff on the night shift.Trailing behind, Yale couldn't help but ask about what happened. It felt wrong to stay in the dark."Mr. Hunt, what exactly happened at the company?""The surveillance system was destroyed. Someone must have broken in. Check every important file and contract thoroughly—make sure nothing's missing.""Yes, sir." Yale pressed the elevator button and added, "But whoever did this must be incredible. Our security system is supposed to be the best in Yurelia City, and they still managed to crack it.""There's always someone better and smarter. The moment you think your company is untouchable, that's the mo

Yale couldn't help but shiver again when he heard Tyler's words.Tyler raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. It was already 2 in the morning. By now, there wasn't much point in digging any further."That's enough for today. Start an internal review first.""Yes, sir." Everyone in the office responded one after another.The group slowly dispersed, some stifling yawns, already resigned to the fact that no one would be getting much sleep tonight."Seriously, who has the guts to come after our company? They must be insane.""Yeah, and our security system is supposed to be the best. For someone to crack it, I'd really like to know which genius pulled that off.""Forget about who did it. All I know is the geniuses in our own IT department are out of jobs now. We'd better just focus on our own work. Otherwise, the next unemployed folks could be us.""True, true."Tyler placed the three contracts on the desk before shifting his gaze to Yale."Who introduced this project to you
