All Chapters of Rebirth: No More Cleaning up Your Mess: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

10 Chapters

Chapter 1

The moment I was blasted awake by nonstop phone calls, I knew I had been reborn. I smashed my phone into pieces without hesitation.In my previous life, Elijah Cook had courted disaster. He secretly embedded pirated software bought online into the security program. The security system collapsed under a virus attack, and the cryobank began to warm.He cried and begged me to save him.I knew that the cryobank had just received the last vial of sperm from a powerful heir who had become infertile. It was his final chance to have a bloodlineI rushed over at once and used my advanced hacking skills to restore the system and stabilize the facility. I successfully preserved Harry Quinlan's only hope of an heir.Afterward, Harry held Elijah accountable. All Elijah had to do was lower his head and apologize. Once the anger passed, the matter could've been quietly resolved.Instead, he acted as if he had suffered an insurmountable humiliation. He ran into the freezer and committed suicide.

"Secondly, I am your mentor, but this isn't a simple mistake at work," I said. "You were reckless and stupid, and I have no obligation to clean up the mess you made."Suddenly, the colleagues who had been quietly blaming me seemed to wake up."You've caused enough chaos and relied on Ms. Griffin to cover for you on other days. Now that you've stirred up a disaster, you pinned it on Mr. Jameson instead? How shameless can you be?"A tide of angry accusations crashed down on Elijah. His face went deathly pale, his eyes filled with despair. At that moment, the control room door swung open.Wallace Brown, the manager of the cryobank, and Maya walked in. Elijah scrambled forward, almost crawling to her feet, and whined, "Maya, I was just trying to help! I didn't expect to cause such trouble!"The moment she entered, her gaze softened and locked on him. Tenderly, she wiped his tears."Don't cry. I know it was just a mistake. The samples got ruined, sure, but according to regulations, co

Wallace sounded urgent. "I know you don't want to deal with this because of your wife's affair, but the others are innocent. I just checked, and we're not finished yet."The cryobank is divided into five storage rooms. Four of them were already beyond saving, but the last room, which held Mr. Quinlan's sperm, hadn't yet reached the critical temperature. Please, Theo, help us out!"I didn't want anyone else to suffer because of this either, so I nodded. "But I have two conditions. First, transfer my dad to another hospital. Second, send all the footage from last night until now to Mr. Quinlan."My eyes were ice-cold. They wanted me to take the fall? Fine. I would expose everything."Not a problem!" Wallace said without hesitation. He pulled out his phone and, right before me, carried out both of my demands.I took out my laptop and connected it to the central console with a data cable. My fingers flew across the keyboard, leaving only afterimages.With the antivirus program I had

"I can't let you meet those tycoons," Maya said calmly. "So, you'll have to stay here for now and suffer a little. Once Elijah is safe and sound, I'll have their people come take you away."My mouth was gagged. I stared in despair as the light slowly vanished.Her mind was full of Elijah. She had completely forgotten that I had claustrophobia. If I were locked in a dark, enclosed space, I would die.Darkness blotted out my vision. My breathing suddenly quickened, and my whole body began trembling. I didn't know how long had passed, but my chest tightened so relentlessly that it felt suffocating.Was I really going to die here?…Just as despair crushed me, the cabinet door flew open.Maya yanked me out roughly. She snapped my joints back into place with a few brutal movements, then slammed me down in front of the central console. Fear covered her face. Even her voice was shaking."Why did the virus attack so fast after we removed the protection system? This time, it directly al

Meanwhile, Wallace finally came to. He stared blankly at the screen, at the vials exploding one after another, and his body gave out. "Everything… is ruined."Rage burned in his eyes. He charged toward Elijah, who was hiding in the corner, trying to make himself invisible."You walking disaster! You're a godforsaken idiot! Why would you install pirated software that you bought online? Were you really that short on money? Look at the mess you made! Every single sample is destroyed! What are you going to use to pay for it?"His voice cracked with hysterical despair.Elijah trembled from head to toe, crying so hard his face was covered in tears and mucus. "I'm sorry. I really meant well at first. I didn't know it'd turn out like this."He had delicate features, so crying like this almost made him look fragile and pitiful. Maya hurried over, her face full of concern. She forced herself to speak calmly."I know you meant well. I promise you'll be fine. Theo has already signed the liab

"But the root cause was when Mr. Cook recklessly installed pirated software, which left the system wide open to attack. And the reason he dared to act so boldly was that Ms. Griffin here blindly protected him from everything."Hence, the ones who should bear the consequences are they."Maya and Elijah paled instantly. He muttered weakly, trying to defend himself. "No, I was just trying to help… I didn't mean for this to happen…"The others could no longer hold back. Accusations spilled one after another."Mr. Quinlan, this idiot is the one who broke the system. Mr. Jameson already fixed it, but this woman tore down his security system to give that idiot credit. They thought there wouldn't be any more Trojan attacks, but they never stopped to think about one thing."The samples stored here belong to the rich and powerful. Plenty of people would love to destroy it. The moment the defenses were gone, hackers seized the chance, broke in, and issued false commands!"Harry curled his l

"And when something minor like this happens, you abandon me without a second thought," Maya accused me. "Is that what love is to you?"Listening to her twisted version of the story, I felt utterly stunned. How did she even have the nerve to say something like that?I looked at her cold, flustered eyes and finally understood. Maya was a woman selfish to the core, someone who loved no one but herself.Once that realization settled in, I felt calmer, though I couldn't resist jabbing back at her."Something minor? You mean threatening me with my dad? Forcing me to take the blame? Or crippling me and shoving me in that cabinet? Did all of that count as nothing to you? How shameless do you have to be to say something like that?"She flew into a rage, embarrassed and furious. "What's the point of digging up the past now? And besides, you weren't really hurt, were you? You're a grown man. Why are you being so petty?"I snickered. "Yeah, I'm petty. Yeah, I'm digging up events that happene

"My sister is carrying Mr. Quinlan's child. That makes me his brother-in-law now," Elijah said.I gave a sarcastic smile. "Once a moocher, always a moocher. What else can you do aside from relying on women? You'll be a loser your whole life, Elijah."Stung by my words, he kicked me in anger. "Shut up! At least I'm better than you now!"Maya looked at him with concern, affection oozing in her eyes. "Why bother with a scoundrel like him? You're wasting your energy."Elijah sneered. "Hey, Theo. I've made sure no company will hire you from now on. Let's see how you'll cover your dad's sky-high fees. Maybe by tomorrow, he'll get kicked out…"I glared at him, teeth clenched. "What do you want, Elijah?"He smiled with malice. "Nothing much. I just need a personal servant. Serve me well, and I might let you off."I took a deep breath, swallowing my pride. "As long as my dad is safe, I'll do whatever you want."He laughed at my humiliation. "I've never liked that high-and-mighty attitud

My heart skipped a beat. Without hesitation, I nodded. "I'll do everything I can to fend off the hackers. I hope you'll keep your word, Mr. Quinlan."I strode to the computer and sat down. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught Harry gently holding a pregnant woman in his arms. Could that be Elijah's sister? Why didn't they look alike… at all?The thought flashed through my mind briefly before I focused entirely on defending against the hackers. The digital battle raged for a full day and night. Alongside other top experts, I finally held off the attack.The hackers retreated in frustration, leaving only the damaged systems that required repair. Suddenly, alarms blared through the building, and loud bangs echoed.Before I could even react, smoke and flash grenades were thrown inside. I was forced to close my eyes, and a sharp pain hit the back of my head.When I woke up, I found myself on a cargo ship.…I slowly sat up and surveyed my surroundings, only to see Harry lying not fa

Chapter 10

The bodyguards moved at once, restraining Elijah and Maya and forcing them down to their knees.He muttered in disbelief, "The plan was foolproof. Where did it go wrong?"I scoffed. "You gave yourself away from the very beginning—that pirated software. I know exactly how advanced the security system I built is. There's no way some cheap knockoff you casually bought online could break through it."If that were possible, top-tier hackers would be everywhere. From the start, your real goal was to destroy Harry's sperm. You thought that would land you the Quinlan family's fortune, but you were nothing more than a pawn in their feud."Only then did Elijah and Maya realize that they were just tools in someone else's hands.Shaken to the core, she trembled uncontrollably and looked at me with false helplessness. "Theo, I was wrong. I was fooled by his sweet words, too. Please, forgive me just this once!"I tore through her pretense without hesitation. "You're not sorry because you were
