Chapter 344
Corinne was speechless. Even though they were separated by a screen, she could sense an
inexplicably strong aggressiveness similar to that of a wild beast guarding its cubs. It could also be likened to a despot showing his possessiveness.
She may have rubbed Ghostlord the wrong way with her question. Hackers were very defensive, and it was normal for them to dislike revealing too much about their offline affairs.
Corinne was the one who crossed the line. When she realized that, she decided not to ask any further and changed the subject. [Not at all. I was just asking casually. Will you be going to this year's Global Hacking Summit?]
[Ghostlord: That depends.]
Corinne then typed, [On what? Is something holding you back?]
[Ghostlord: I'm married. My wife is very strict. It wouldn't be convenient to travel far.]
Corinne found it interesting because she did not expect Ghostlord to be such a family man!
She replied, [Congratulations! As it happens, I got married recently too.]
At this time, Road To Success popped up again and sent a banner to interject, [Did the two of you big shots get married to each other offline? Whoa! This sounds just like the plot of a movie! You're of different genders, right? Master, you're a woman, right? I don't think Ghostlord is a woman. Or are you both men?]
Corinne was at a loss for words, and it seemed Ghostlord felt the same way, too.
Corinne then silently kicked the talkative Road To Success out of the deep web. Then, she said sincerely to Ghostlord, [In any case, I hope to see you at this year's hacker summit, and I look. forward to discussing the vulnerabilities of the NuevaNova system recently developed by EKX Enterprises and the techniques to bypass their system.]
[Ghostlord: We can have a chat about it if the chance comes up.]
Everything had been settled by Ghostlord, so Corinne quit the deep web since she no longer had any purpose there. All of a sudden, she remembered that there she still had to design the building for the Holdens' new headquarters.
She wanted to come up with a sketch within three days and send it to Jeremy, but three days had passed, and she was unable to start on it after being held up by everything that happened. She decided to take advantage of the time she had then.
Corinne immediately opened the drawing software and sketched out the inspiration she had thought up before.
At that time, Jeremy exited the deep web in the study and massaged his brows wearily.
He picked up the phone, looked at the time, and decided to send a message to Corinne. [Can I come in there for a while?]
Corinne
