Chapter 466
Ken’s eyes darkened. It was as if they had nothing to talk about other than work. If this continued, he felt that their relationship would probably be only about work.
“Personal?” Melody looked up and quickly said, “Yes, I haven’t thanked you seriously. Thank you. If it weren’t for you, I would really have died there today. But don’t worry, I won’t let you save me for nothing. I’ll go over to help you deal with Owen Nathan as soon as possible and pull him back to your side.”
She would do her best to help Ken. However, Ken frowned. In the end, they still talked about business.
He thought, ‘Melody is calm and smart, but when it comes to relationships, she is as dumb as a log.’
However, the dumber Melody was, the stronger the desire to conquer her he had.
He really wanted to know what it felt like to be in a romantic relationship with Melody.
If they really confirmed their relationship, he wondered if she would still be as ignorant as she was then.
However, Ken thought about it and felt that it was not a bad idea to maintain their current relationship.
They trusted each other and helped each other. They would never break up this way, and he could continue to be friends with her shamelessly.
On the contrary, if Melody really had no feelings for him after he confessed to her, he wouldn’t know what to do after that. He was afraid that they couldn’t even remain friends.
Being worried about gains and losses was probably referring to the current Ken.
Ken said dejectedly, “That’s not what I’m talking about.”
Melody racked her brains. Suddenly, she clapped her hands and said, “I know! You want to talk to me about the divorce, right?”
Without waiting for Ken to answer, Melody continued, “You don’t have to feel sorry. Our marriage was a freak accident. It was used to help Margaret recover from her illness. You can just say it directly. I’ll call City Hall later to ask. When my personal information is settled, I’ll immediately divorce you.”
“Alright, stop talking.” Ken pinched the space between his eyebrows.
He thought, ‘This girl can’t even get to the point. She even mentioned something that I am most unwilling to mention.’
Melody looked at Ken’s darkened expression and did not understand what he wanted to talk to her about.
Before Melody could figure it out, the car had already arrived at the entrance of the Youth Center.
There were more people gathered at the Youth Center than before. Most of them were nearby residents who came to watch the show.
The two of them avoided the crowd and joined up with Sid and Janet.
Janet went forward and asked about Ken’s injuries. “How did you manage it so quickly? Did you hurt your foot too? Why is it in a cast?”
Ken casually said, “I’m fine.” Then, he asked Sid, “Did you find anything?”
Sid shook his head in self-blame and reported, “I’ve already sent people to check the surrounding surveillance cameras. The surveillance cameras in this entire area broke at the same time. Rather than saying they broke, it’s better to say that they were hacked and the surveillance system was shut down.”
“A hacker?” Ken frowned and looked at Melody. “Do you have a way to recover the data? I know you’ve done this several times.”
Melody was not confident. Previously, she had hacked into the surveillance system a few times because the system had only been deleted by ordinary people, or because the other party was just an ordinary hacker and had never encountered a top hacker.
Right now, they could only rely on luck and bet that the surveillance footage was not deleted by that top hacker who Melody was fighting with just now.
“I can give it a try first, but I can’t guarantee that it will succeed. When I removed control of the Youth Center’s smart door, I went up against the hacker from Ulric. Although he’s not as capable as me, he’s still a top hacker. If he was the one who hacked the surveillance cameras around here, then it’s almost impossible for us to recover the surveillance content.”
However, as soon as Melody finished speaking, Janet said with a faint smile, “Melody, just say that you’re not capable enough. Why find so many excuses? We’re all on the same side. We won’t laugh at you. Instead of wasting time here, it’s better to find a professional hacker and repair the surveillance content.”
Melody could not be bothered with the sarcastic Janet. She directly asked Sid to hand over the laptop in his hand.
When Janet saw that Melody was ignoring her, she was even more certain that she had hit the nail on the head.
She thought, ‘Isn’t Melody trying to pretend to be capable in front of Ken? I won’t even give her a chance to pretend!’
Janet stopped Sid, who was about to hand the laptop to Melody, and said, “Sid, in terms of computer technology, your skills are not inferior to ordinary hackers. We’re pressed for time, so let’s not let Melody work for nothing. You can repair it directly.”
Sid looked deeply at Janet with a complicated expression in his eyes.
He tried his best to suppress his doubts about Janet and said, “Janet, do you know how powerful the hackers from Ulric is? He’s a top hacker. A top hacker can completely make the surveillance content disappear and it will never be found.”
Janet asked unhappily, “Why are you telling me this?” Sid said, “I learned from Zack that this top hacker-controlled the door of the Youth Center. Melody broke through the other party’s firewall and hacked the other party’s computer to open the door. This meant that her hacking skills were far better than the other party’s! As for me, I only know a little bit about hacking. It is completely incomparable to Melody’s skills. I don’t know what you’re doing by having me do it instead of her. Do you want the surveillance to be repaired quickly, or do you want it to never be repaired?”
Janet was shocked and felt guilty all over.
She forced herself to be calm and asked, “Sid, what do you mean? Of course, I want the surveillance cameras to be repaired quickly.”
“Then you should have Melody do it.”
“I-” Janet felt as if something was stuck in her throat. She was furious.
She thought, ‘Why does Sid seem to be completely biased towards Melody, that bitch?’
The more Janet thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She could only look up at Ken, hoping that Ken would not be deceived by Melody.
However, in the next second, Ken raised his chin expressionlessly and gestured for Sid to hand the laptop to Melody.
Janet’s heart sank. The hatred in her heart surged. She wished she could skin Melody alive.
However, no matter how much she hated Melody, she could only pretend to be sorry and say harmlessly, “Melody, I’m sorry. I was too anxious just now… But you have to believe me. I’m definitely not looking down on you, and I don’t want the surveillance footage to be erased.”
Melody only wanted to find evidence leading to Ulric as soon as possible, so she could not be bothered to feign civility with Janet. She only calmly said, “I know,” and began to repair the surveillance cameras.
