Second Chances

The Stox symbol had not appeared for a long time. This time, her sudden appearance shocked the entire world when she fought against the third place on the rankings–Clown. 

There were even computer enthusiasts trying to figure out where Emma was. 

Emma had been prepared. Once they started searching for her location, they would find that she was in the Arctic–a completely impossible place. 

The employees of the Halls Group, who had been panicking just now, were all stunned. Stox, was a top–notch hacker who shocked the world, the top expert that even the country could not recruit. They thought, ‘Is Boss so powerful? How could he invite Stox to support them?” 

On the other side, the employees who had just walked out of Liam’s office were also staring at the screen in a daze. “Mr. Hall asked Stox for help?” 

One of them said, “No way. Wasn’t there only the boss and his wife in the office just now? Could his wife be…” 

Someone laughed. “What are you talking about? How can she be Stox? You youngsters have no idea what kind of person Stox is.” 

“What kind of person?” a voice asked. 

The slightly older person made a bunch of scientific explanations before concluding, “Therefore, Mrs. Hall can’t be Stox. Stox should be a man, at least 40 years old. He probably couldn’t stand Clown attacking us and helped us from afar.” 

Someone asked, “Is he in our company now?” 

“How is that possible,” the man said. “A god like that doesn’t operate live. Didn’t you see that their locations are all fake?” 

“Oh, yes.” The few young people listened seriously. 

At this moment, the door to the CEO’s office opened. Everyone looked over in unison. The moment they saw Emma, they were stunned. 

“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” Emma asked. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“N–nothing.” The secretaries thought of what they had just learned about Stox. The senior said that

Wed, 10 

Stox should be a man above 40 years old. They thought, ‘Emma can’t be Stox, right? No way! 

“T–the computer’s fixed. We’ll get to work first,” one of them said. 

“Yes, we’ll get back to work,” the others echood. 

The people from the secretarial department scattered. They returned to their desks and immediately buried their heads in work. 

Emma and Liam smiled at each other and did not explain. Anyway, it was impossible for them to believe that she was Stox. They would only think that it was a fight between Stox and the Clown and that Stox had helped their company from afar. 

On the other side, in Laoland, Clown did not expect to encounter Stox, who had defeated him overwhelmingly back then, the moment he appeared. He hung up on Brad angrily. After that, Brad contacted him again to ask for his help, but he refused him. 

Brad felt extremely depressed. He did not know why this had happened. He had spent a lot of effort to invite Clown. He could have defeated Liam without any suspense. He thought, ‘Why did Stox, who has disappeared for so long, interfere?” 

Brad was raging in his office when something even more devastating happened. To teach Brad a lesson, Emma used special methods to hack into the system that Brad was managing 

All the computers in the branch office were paralyzed, and no one could solve it until night time. 

This matter quickly alarmed Simon. 

Simon brought the people from the headquarters to settle it himself. However, when he arrived at Brad’s company, he saw a “delivery boy” in a delivery uniform repairing the system for Brad and the 

others. 

It didn’t take long for the boy to repair the system. Simon’s face turned ugly. His son’s company employees were not as good as a delivery boy. This embarrassed him in front of all his friends and colleagues. 

“Useless trash,” Simon remarked before leaving. He immediately demoted Brad from the general manager of the branch company to the deputy manager. 

The news quickly reached Emma’s ears. 

The “delivery boy“, Vere, said to Emma, “I told them I’m just an ordinary student working part–time.

You didn’t see how badly Brad was scolded by his father. Emma, you’re amazing.” 

Emma pursed her lips and smiled. She thought, ‘Of course. Who asked Brad to be blind enough to provoke me and even hire a sinister hacker like Clown? If it weren’t for me, Liam would have been 

fired.” 

However, Emma did not know that, before getting into the car, Levi whispered in Liam’s ear, “It’s all thanks to Mrs. Hall this time. You don’t even need to send Team Thunder out. She is truly amazing.” 

Liam smiled without saying anything. They still had a long future ahead of them. Both of them still had many secrets waiting for each other to find. 

Emma and Liam returned to Icovine Estate. Soon, they were the only ones left in the bedroom. 

Emma looked around and whispered, “When I was fighting with Brad’s company just now, I saw something on his computer. I suspect there’s a mole in Icovine Estate.” 

There were some suspicious contact details and chat records in Brad’s computer. Therefore, Emmal suspected that Brad had been secretly plotting against Liam. And that the person was still in Icovine 

Estate. 

“Also, when someone exposed a photo of me kneeling beside Alva’s corpse at school, I suspect it was Brad who wanted to…” Emma yelped. “What are you doing…” She was talking seriously when Liam picked her up. She subconsciously hooked her arms around his waist and clung to him like a koala bear. 

Liam listened to Emma and pressed her against the wall to kiss her. “My honey has performed well today. It’s time for me to perform.” 

Emma’s ears we 

ears were burning. His “honey” instantly made her lose her wits. 

Since Liam could stand now, they had finally reached the day they had been waiting for. 

Liam hugged her and kissed her from the wall to the bed. They ended up falling into bed and spent the entire night having fun. 

It was almost autumn. Vere was going to study abroad in Nuverland at the end of the semester. He was a little reluctant. After all, he had just joined Emma’s team and had already seen too much of the world not long ago. From Raphael’s family to the showdown with Clown, those experiences were unimaginable in his previous world.

Chapter #t 

At the airport, Emma personally sent Vere through the security check on account of his good performance when he first joined. 

Vere said reluctantly, “I used to look forward to going overseas every day, but I’m not looking forward 

to it now.” 

Emma knew what Vere was thinking and patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry. When you get there, I’ll have more tasks for you to do,” 

“Really?” Vere asked. 

“Of course,” Emma said. “Otherwise, it would be a waste of talent to recruit you just to do this kind of work.” 

“Great.” Vere was happy. “But next semester, you’ll be going to Vark College’s cooperative hotel for an internship. When the time comes…” 

As they conversed, a suitcase suddenly slammed into Emma from behind. Emma did not see it. She staggered forward from the impact. 

“Are you alright?” Vere looked at Emma worriedly, 

The woman who bumped into Emma had two bodyguards following her. She wore a pink beret, black sunglasses, and a small dress. Not only did she not feel guilty, but she also glanced at Emma with disdain. “Are you blind? Seriously. There are all kinds of low level scum in the country. How dreadful.”
