Chapter 262: The Murderer
Chapter 262: The Murderer
The computer screen quickly displayed another line: "Miss Monroe, judging from your tone, it seems you don’t really like the gift I sent you. How strange, didn’t you dislike your sister?"
Summer Monroe clenched her fists and asked, "Who are you exactly? What do you want?"
Soon, another line of text popped up—
"Miss Monroe, don’t misunderstand me, I just wanted to do you a favor. It seems I’ve done the opposite. My apologies."
Before Summer Monroe could speak, another line of black text appeared: "Miss Monroe, are you interested in joining us? I have high regard for your hacking skills."
The moment the phrase "hacking skills" appeared, Summer Monroe immediately thought of the building explosion.
Her eyes narrowed as she said, "You’re the one targeting Damian Knight."
Black text popped up again: "Miss Monroe, you’re indeed very smart. Join us, and I will lead you to the pinnacle of the global pyramid. If you refuse, then... you are our enemy."
Summer Monroe immediately refused: "I would never cooperate with rats hiding in the shadows. If you have the guts, come face me openly!"
"Miss Monroe, there’s no rush to answer. We’ll give you three days to consider. In three days, we will contact you again."
"No need to contact me!" Summer Monroe said coldly, "I will find you, the murderer!"
However, before Summer Monroe could finish speaking, the computer screen went black and shut down automatically.
"Damn it!" Summer Monroe cursed.
She didn’t expect that the other party would find her here, so the computer she was using was just an ordinary one. For a top hacker to invade her regular computer was a breeze.
Summer Monroe restarted the computer, typed in code, and set up a first-level firewall on her computer to prevent it from being invaded again.
The advantage of this firewall is not only its robustness, but also that when the other party attempts to intrude into her computer again, the system will automatically lock their IP, enabling her to track them down.
When the time comes, she can root out that guy!
After setting up the firewall, Summer Monroe directly dialed Damian Knight’s number.
The call rang several times before Damian Knight answered: "Hello? Summer?"
He was probably still drowsy, his voice low and hoarse, sexy and magnetic.
Summer Monroe found herself surprisingly drawn to his voice, but quickly shook off those thoughts and got straight to the point: "The person trying to assassinate you has contacted me."
"What?!" Damian Knight’s voice immediately became alert, filled with worry and urgency: "Where are you? Are you alright?"
Summer Monroe, holding the phone, said, "I’m at home; I’m fine. He hacked into my computer, but didn’t make a move against me physically."
Damian Knight let out a long sigh of relief and said, "It’s good that you’re safe. Why did he hack into your computer?"
Worried that her phone might also be tapped, Summer Monroe didn’t elaborate, simply saying, "When do you have time? I’ll talk to you in person."
"I’ll come over to see you right now."
"Don’t... our house may be a bit hectic today. I’ll come find you directly. Where are you?"
"At the place you visited last night, Fenhollow."
"I’ll head over to see you now."
"Alright, I’ll wait for you at the gate."
Summer Monroe hung up the phone, quickly freshened up, and threw on some clothes before heading out.
The servants were still tidying up Clarissa Stanton’s room, while Henry Stanton had gone out to buy funeral garments and other items necessary for the funeral.
Therefore, Summer Monroe didn’t need to notify anyone and took a cab directly to Fenhollow.
