Evelyn knew it was her. "What's up, Erica?"

"Is my brother-in-law around? I need his help," Erica said urgently.

Matthew was on a business trip, so Evelyn was filling in for him at ZL Group, while Sheffield was at Theo Group. "No. What's going on? Something happen?" Evelyn asked.

"Yeah, someone messed with my computer. Something important is gone. I'm betting Sheffield could fix this."

"Oh, so it's about the computer. Yeah, he's the guy to call. Since you're a relative, he wouldn't mind if you called him directly. You have his number?"

Erica thought for a while. Sheffield called her the other night. So she figured she should be able to find his number in the call log. "I do. Thanks, Evelyn. I'll give him a ring."

"Okay!"

Five minutes later, Erica finally understood what had happened.

Someone hacked into her computer. They got in through the webcam, and had unleashed some malicious code on her system. It crawled through her hard drive, stealing her photos and deleting the email to Luther.

She walked back into the classroom, laptop tucked under her arm. The moment she stepped into the lecture hall, the class was over, and the bell rang.

Damn it!

Everyone had to be there to hear her explanation. An explanation does little good if there are no ears to hear it.

Erica quickly ran to the back door and closed it. Then she went back to the front door and walked into the classroom to tell everyone who was about to leave, "Everyone stay where you're at. I've found the evidence!"

A classmate expressed his dissatisfaction loudly. "So what? Why do we care anything about evidence? Let me outta here. I got things to do."

"Right! You're so weird!" another classmate shouted.

Putting the computer on the podium, Erica said loudly, "I'm going to clear my name. I don't want people dragging my name through the dirt! I didn't hand in Aaron Gao's photos, and my work was stolen. I can prove it now! Listen up, okay?"

The people who were protesting all fell silent. They knew Erica was right. They would spread it about, like any other rumor. After all, it was related to Mrs. Huo, and she was a person of interest.

Erica turned to Professor Feng and threatened him. "Professor Feng, you're our teacher. Because of this, you're responsible to the students. You could have shut this down, and you didn' action

Matthew waited until evening, but still hadn't heard from Erica. He called Owen to ask about it, and then he realized that Erica had solved it by herself. Owen also told him exactly how things played out.

As soon as Owen was done talking to him, a name popped into Matthew's head. The remote control of Erica's laptop, the restoration of files...

Matthew knew who had helped her. He took out his phone and called Sheffield. "Do you have too much time on your hands?" he growled into the phone.

Sheffield was confused. "Not really. I'm getting busier and busier these days. Looking forward to Godwin growing up and taking my place so I can focus on being a professional gigolo."

"Well, what you do on your own time is your business. And I suggest you mind your own business, or I might just make you busier!" Matthew said coldly and hung up the phone.

'Mind my own business? When did I get involved in his business?'

he wondered. After staring at his phone for a long time, Sheffield finally figured out why Matthew was sullen. He helped Erica out and Matthew got jealous!

Matthew's technical skills were just as good as a professional hacker. The trouble that Erica ran into was a piece of cake for two men with their skills. But Erica went to him for help. He'd be surprised if Matthew weren't jealous. He wanted to be the one his wife relied on.

Shaking his head helplessly, Sheffield thought, 'Erica, I knew you'd be trouble, and I was right!" Matthew was definitely not the forgiving type. He'd find a way to get back at Sheffield for this.
