The principal, who never expected that Janet would actually speak up for Jennifer, was at a loss of words at the moment.
Jennifer was so angry and embarrassed that she pointed at Janet and said, “Janet Jackson, just drop that act because I know you must have bribed those assassins to make them tell on me. Don’t you think it’s very sickening of you, trying to play nice and speak up for me?” Jennifer must have lost her mind because she started owning everything up, which was exactly what Janet wanted.
She shuddered when the principal stomped his feet furiously. At that instant, she realized she had blurted out the wrong thing.
The more the principal thought about Jennifer’s wicked deed, the more furious he became. “Jennifer Lewis, I’ll inform your parents to pick you up from school. From today onward, you’re officially expelled from Star High School!” he exploded.
Jennifer looked upset. “Why? It isn’t fair!” She was sure she would be beaten to death by her father when he learnt what she had done. The Lewis’ had always indulged and pampered her, but they had never been involved in anything illegal.
The principal was surprised that Jennifer still had the guts to demand the reason for her expulsion. “Unfair? You should count yourself lucky that Janet didn’t get injured because if she was, you would be deemed as a criminal!” The principal felt unbearably embarrassed and he wondered how someone like Jennifer actually got admitted into his school.
Jennifer knew that her life was totally ruined. Just earlier this morning, she was still acting haughtily in front of Janet but now, she ended up being expelled. Knowing that there was nothing else she could do to turn the tides, she could only accept the punishment, knowing that she might even be sent to jail if Janet decided to bring the case to the police’s attention.
In the middle of the crowd outside the principal’s office stood two girls who were having a heated discussion on the matter. Emily’s deskmate, Madelaine, asked, “Emily, do you think Janet is the one who did this?”
“Hmph, do you think she has what it takes to pull off something like that?” Emily asked sarcastically.
Some of them heard through the grapevine that it was a hacker who posted the video as well as the bank transaction on Reddit. Could Janet, that country bumpkin, be a hacker? It was beyond hilarious.
Madelaine said somewhat hesitantly, “But her results turned out to be the top of the batch in the last exam.”
Emily rolled her eyes at Madelaine, thinking that it was such a waste of time talking with a moron like her. She mocked, “What about that promise of yours to eat sh*t if Janet managed to pass the exam? Did you honor it?”
Hearing that, Madelaine pursed her lips in annoyance and kept quiet.
…
Inside the offices of Lowry Family Conglomerate, the staff were busy working when a siren blared out from the computer, which represented a failed hacking attempt. Tapping the keyboards deftly with his fingers, a man initiated another round of hacking.
“Did you find out anything?” Mason asked lazily as he stretched.
“Nope. As soon as we got through to the person’s IP address, the self-destruction program was triggered.”
Mason raised his brows slightly in puzzlement. When they discovered that Jennifer Lewis was the one who hired the assassins, they planned to release the evidence onto the Internet so that Jennifer would be expelled from the school. To their surprise, someone else actually posted it on Star High School’s Reddit forum before they could. Yet, they couldn’t get hold of the identity of the person who posted the evidence.
Although Mason had suspected Janet before, he soon dismissed the idea as unlikely because it was a mere coincidence that she turned out to be a superb doctor. As an eighteen-year-old girl, there was no way she could do something as challenging as hacking into Jennifer’s phone.
Looking indifferent, Mason parted his thin lips slightly and asked, “What’s the IP address?”
“Leamore Lane.” A trace of amusement flickered in the man’s eyes as he commented, “What a coincidence because it’s an area under our control.”
A slight crease appeared on Mason’s forehead and his eyes turned pensive, looking lost in thought. “It isn’t him.”
“What?” the man asked.
Mason narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, “The hacker isn’t S.”
