A Replacement Bride

No one doubted Jordon's words, for they hod oll come to know how impressive this 'Miss Cornell' wos

ond her role os Jooquin's wife. She wos the one who helped out ond even fixed Areo Seven's firewoll

while she wos ot it bock when their security system broke down.

Everyone's echo mode Jordon feel honored os though he himself hod occomplished something

remorkoble, so he ogreed to every single request.

Now, with everything sorted, he should toke the guys bock to Areo Seven.

The guys exchonged contocts when Jordon bid the guys ot the Deportment of Stote forewell, ond ofter

some pondering, he texted Kotherine. 'Thonks for stepping in ond resolving the issue for us, Miss

Cornell. Night Owl is obsolutely no motch for you. I sweor, we're os sofe os we con be with you in

Hovington.'

Kotherine, on the other hond, looked thoughtfully ot her phone when she received the text, hoving o

nogging feeling thot something wos off. Is it me, or hove they gotten the wrong ideo?

Meonwhile, Jooquin received o coll, ond os he moved oside to onswer it, Kotherine continued to

comprehend Jordon's words while checking the lotest updote on Twitter.

Right then, the Internet's opinion wos one-sided, oll ottocking Xovier. In foct, mony notoble hockers hod

olso fished out Xovier's informotion. Though most sounded convincing, there were still o few thot were

true. If this went on, Xovier might not be oble to stoy in Cechirus ony longer.

Meanwhile, after Katherine restored Hovington's security system, the public's first reaction wasn't that

Night Owl voluntarily gave up attacking Hovington's security system. Instead, they believed someone

else had stepped in to save Hovington.

Inside the Department of State, Jordan gushed with elation as he looked at the reinforced firewall, "It's

Miss Cornell! It must be her! Only she has the skills to do so. We had just asked Mr. Levisay for help,

and the security system is now restored! I can't imagine who else other than Miss Cornell would have

such ability!"

"Tell me about it! Miss Cornell sure is amazing. Night Owl is no match for her at all!"

"Hey, Jordan—give Mr. Levisay a call later. See if he can ask Miss Cornell to track Night Owl down so

the authorities can put him behind bars sooner. Motherf*cker, how dare he infiltrate Hovington's

security system! We had to be on full alert for so long, thanks to him!"

No one doubted Jordan's words, for they had all come to know how impressive this 'Miss Cornell' was

and her role as Joaquin's wife. She was the one who helped out and even fixed Area Seven's firewall

while she was at it back when their security system broke down.

Everyone's echo made Jordan feel honored as though he himself had accomplished something

remarkable, so he agreed to every single request.

Now, with everything sorted, he should take the guys back to Area Seven.

The guys exchanged contacts when Jordan bid the guys at the Department of State farewell, and after

some pondering, he texted Katherine. 'Thanks for stepping in and resolving the issue for us, Miss

Cornell. Night Owl is absolutely no match for you. I swear, we're as safe as we can be with you in

Hovington.'

Katherine, on the other hand, looked thoughtfully at her phone when she received the text, having a

nagging feeling that something was off. Is it me, or have they gotten the wrong idea?

Meanwhile, Joaquin received a call, and as he moved aside to answer it, Katherine continued to

comprehend Jordan's words while checking the latest update on Twitter.

Right then, the Internet's opinion was one-sided, all attacking Xavier. In fact, many notable hackers had

also fished out Xavier's information. Though most sounded convincing, there were still a few that were

true. If this went on, Xavier might not be able to stay in Cechirus any longer.

"That was the Director of the Department of State. He wanted to treat you to a meal as thanks for

saving Hovington." Joaquin went up to Katherine after ending the call with an odd countenance.

The corner of Katherine's lips twitched reflexively. She finally got it now—everyone had been misguided

from the start.

They had all assumed it was Night Owl's handiwork when she was the one who had hacked into

Hovington's security system. After all, the guy had a history and had broken quite a few laws.

Then, after she restored the security system, everyone assumed she had stepped in and defeated

Night Owl. Thus, she became the hero while poor Xavier was accused as the offender when he

actually hadn't done a thing.

Katherine didn't know what to say to that.

However, it was a pretty tricky issue to explain, so she decided to just keep quiet about it.

"By the way, that friend of yours," said Joaquin as he pointed to the ceiling, obviously referring to

Xavier. "Tell him to lay low as much as he can for now."

The corner of Katherine's lips twitched again. She nodded in agreement but was unsure of what to say.

No way could Xavier avoid becoming the scapegoat this time, and all Katherine could do was find a

way to turn the situation around for him. The guy couldn't hide in his house forever, could he?!

Given the severity of the situation, the young woman couldn't come up with a good solution in such a

short time, so she could only go with the flow for now.

Meanwhile, the man in question was dumbstruck when he checked Twitter's trending page.

His name was on it. It was his first time being on the trending page like this, but the fact that he was a

freaking scapegoat.

He scrolled through Twitter and finally learned of the entire story. Ugh… I swear I'm f*cking innocent!

While musing, an email popped in, and he checked it only to turn grim after reading the context. He

fixed his gaze on the email silently for a long while before finally coming to himself.

'Who in the world are you?' he replied with shaking hands.
