Before anybody could understand the meaning behind Janet’s words, several phones began ringing simultaneously. Ronald and Fass exchanged glances, then impatiently answered their phones.
“What’s wrong?” Both Ronald and Fass asked in unison.
“President Leonard, our company’s financial system crashed for no reason. Even the defense team can’t restore the system! Please come back quickly!”
“Crashed?” Fass felt a dull ache as if something was pressing against his heart. Why would it crash for no reason?
The contents of Ronald’s and Fass’ phone calls were roughly the same. Hackers had also launched an offensive attack against Ronald’s company’s financial system!
All of a sudden, what Janet said just now echoed in Fass’ mind. Thus, he glanced at Janet coldly and firmly bit down on his lip. It was very difficult for him to speak. “Is this… your doing?”
Layla and Lynette were still in a state of confusion, not knowing what was going on. “Dad, Uncle Fass, what’s wrong?”
Ronald’s voice was so grim that it was scary. “Hackers attacked the financial system of our companies. The system has crashed!”
“What?!” Lynette and Layla were so shocked that they nearly collapsed to the ground. How did that happen?!
Looking at Janet in disbelief, Lynette’s gaze was filled with hatred. “It’s you… Are you the hacker?!” If Janet can restore Woodsbury University’s security system, then it stands to reason that she can also cause the financial system of Shields Enterprise to crash!
“Weren’t you being arrogant just now?” Janet scoffed lightly. She walked over to Lynette with an evil smile and said, “Will you voluntarily drop out of school? Or, will you be expelled by Woodsbury University?”
She originally had no intention of taking such extreme measures. If Lynette had a better attitude toward her and apologized to her, this matter might have been resolved a long time ago. Unfortunately, some people just like digging their own graves!
Lynette desperately clutched at the hem of her skirt. Frozen in place, she couldn’t utter a single word in response…
“Lynette, come with me!” Fass could not bear the humiliation. How can the great Professor Leonard and the president of Leonard Enterprise be humiliated by such a young girl?! What will happen to my reputation if word got out about this?!
“Dad!” She refused to budge, shifting her pleading gaze to her father instead.
To her shock, Ronald’s voice was cold as he grabbed her by her clothes. “Be a good girl now, Nettie! Come home with me!”
At present, the financial systems of both Shields Enterprise and Leonard Enterprise had suffered heavy losses. If Lynette does not drop out of school, this damn girl will not rest until she gets what she wants. She will never let us off easy! Between his company and his daughter, he chose his company! I have no choice but to let my daughter suffer this humiliation for now. In any case, there will be many opportunities in the future to deal with this damn girl!
Lynette was shocked by her father’s words. In the end, she reluctantly followed them. Biting her lip hard, she could not believe that she, the young lady of an influential family, would be defeated by that stupid girl! I can’t believe Janet dared to use her hacking skills to threaten both Shields Enterprise and Leonard Enterprise! What will happen to my reputation if everybody in Woodsbury University knows that I was forced to drop out of school?! It all comes down to one thing—it’s all Janet’s fault! I will never forgive Janet; she will suffer for this!
After they walked out of the chancellor’s office, Layla said, “Nettie, go back to class and pack up your stuff. We will wait for you outside the school!”
Lynette rubbed her eyes and grudgingly said, “I called you over to help me. But now, why do I still have to drop out of school?! I hate it!” Everybody in class thinks that my father and my uncle came here to back me up, so they assumed that I would not be expelled today. But… if everybody knows that I’m leaving today, they will surely talk about me behind my back!
