All Chapters of My Ex-Husband CEO Regrets Too Late: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

For a second nobody moved.Sebastian thought he had heard wrong.“Explosives?”Leo’s voice came again through the intercom from the safe room.“Yes.”His tone had changed. No curiosity now. Just focus.Olivia immediately leaned toward the speaker.“Leo, are you sure?”“I’m checking the system sensors.”A few seconds passed.Then Leo spoke again.“Yes. I’m sure.”Daniel looked at Sebastian.“That’s not good.”Sebastian walked quickly to the security monitor on the wall.“What kind of explosives?”Leo answered, “I don’t know the type yet, but the building system detected heat triggers in three locations.”Sebastian’s eyes narrowed.“Where?”Leo’s laptop keyboard clicked rapidly on the other end.“Parking level… maintenance floor… and one more signal near the elevator shaft.”Daniel cursed quietly.“That’s coordinated.”Olivia’s heart sank.“They’re planning to bring the entire building down.”Sebastian thought quickly.“No.”He shook his head.“If they wanted to destroy the tower, they

For a second nobody in the elevator moved.The image on Ethan’s tablet was clear.Leo was sitting on the couch in the penthouse, his laptop open in front of him.The room looked quiet.Too quiet.Then the door slowly opened.Vanessa Blake stepped inside like she belonged there.Back in the elevator, Olivia’s voice came out tight.“How did she get past security?”Ethan answered casually.“Because security listens to whoever controls the system.”Daniel looked furious.“You gave her access.”Ethan shrugged.“Temporary.”Sebastian didn’t say another word.He moved.Fast.Before Daniel or Olivia could react, Sebastian grabbed Ethan by the collar and slammed him against the wall beside the elevator.The tablet almost slipped from Ethan’s hand.Sebastian’s voice was low and deadly.“If anything happens to my son…”Ethan smiled, even with Sebastian’s hand pressing against his throat.“Then maybe you shouldn’t have left him alone.”Sebastian shoved him back.Daniel stepped forward immediately

No one spoke after Harrison finished talking.His face was still on the screen.Calm. Patient.Like a man who already knew the outcome.“You have five minutes,” Harrison repeated.Then the transmission ended.The screen went black.Inside the penthouse the silence felt heavy.Daniel was the first to speak.“He’s bluffing.”Sebastian didn’t answer.Leo’s fingers were already moving across the keyboard again.Olivia looked at him.“What are you doing?”“Checking the launcher.”Sebastian glanced at the screen.“Can you disable it?”Leo shook his head.“No.”Daniel frowned.“Why not?”Leo zoomed the camera closer to the weapon outside Knight Group.“Because it’s not digital.”Daniel understood immediately.“No network connection.”Leo nodded.“Manual trigger.”Sebastian looked toward the window.If Harrison fired that weapon…The upper floors of Knight Group would shatter.Olivia crossed her arms tightly.“We’re not giving him Leo.”Sebastian replied quietly,“I know.”Daniel checked his

The fire from the explosion was still visible on the horizon.The Knight Group data center burned like a second sunrise in the distance.Inside the penthouse, Leo’s laptop alarms continued flashing.System breach detected.Network control lost.Daniel leaned closer to the screen.“Tell me that’s just a temporary outage.”Leo shook his head slowly.“No.”Sebastian’s voice stayed calm.“Explain.”Leo opened the network control map.Normally the screen would show hundreds of green nodes connected to Knight Group’s servers.Now almost all of them were red.Disconnected.Compromised.Leo spoke quietly.“When the data center exploded… the main servers went offline.”Olivia understood immediately.“And the backup system?”Leo hesitated.Then he opened another window.The backup system status appeared.Access denied.Daniel cursed under his breath.“Someone locked us out.”Sebastian already knew the answer.“Harrison.”Leo shook his head.“No.”Sebastian looked at him.“Why not?”Leo zoomed i

The room stayed silent after Leo finished speaking.“The real hacker just showed up.”Daniel looked at the map on the laptop.“Real hacker?”Leo nodded.“Yeah.”He pointed at the signal trace.“This person didn’t attack us.”Olivia frowned.“Then why interrupt Ethan?”Leo shrugged slightly.“Because they can.”Sebastian leaned closer to the screen.“Location.”Leo zoomed the map.The red signal blinked once.Harbor district.Old shipping warehouse.Daniel whispered,“That place has been abandoned for years.”Leo shook his head.“Not tonight.”Meanwhile, inside Ethan’s server room, chaos had erupted.His monitors were going dark one by one.Systems shutting down.Network access lost.Ethan typed quickly, trying to regain control.“Impossible.”Behind him Harrison frowned.“What happened?”Ethan didn’t answer immediately.His fingers kept moving across the keyboard.Trying to reconnect.But every attempt failed.Finally Ethan leaned back slowly.“We just got kicked out.”Harrison’s voic
