“Uh?” Dorothy thought she must have misheard

“It’s nothing.” Byte 7 lifted his hand to pull the hoodie over his head, concealing his pale, gaunt, yet

striking face, and then he returned to his provicus spot, cradling his laptop. “But frst, you need to tell me

what you’re hoping to recover from this gadget.”

Dorothy blurted out, ‘It contains the truth about my mother’s death”

“Then you should be taking that thing to the cops, rat me! And just so you know, my services don’t

come cheap.”

“I know you’re expensive, and I have money! How could she dare hand over the hard drive to the

police?

The Lopez family was untouchable back home, and she stood no chance against them

it weren’t for the involvement of Everett’s parents, maybe she could have asked him for help, but… this

drive contained evidence that could incriminate the Lopez family!

“People often try to haggle with me, but you’re the first to outright claim you’re flush with cash. Byte 7

seemed amused as he leaned back and locked up at her. “You’re Everett’s girl, aren’t you?”

Dorothy was speechless.

“Boring” Byte 7 snorted. “Thirty million, half upfront. After I’m done, I’ll come looking for the rest”

Thirty million…

Even though Dorally knew hiring Byte 7 would cost a pretty penny she was still taken aback by the

figure.

At the sight of her hesitation, Byte 7 chuckled “Didn’t you just say you had money?”

“But… not that much.”

“What now? Go ask Everett for it! I saw his car parked outside. Byte 7 really was the epitome of a

rebellious youth, a smirk perpetually

playing on his lips.

What a cocky youthe

Dorothy wasn’t used to dealing with the young crowd and felt awkward standing there.

She didn’t want to be the butt of his teasing, but her only hope of recovering the data on the hard drive

was in his hands!

Tim just Everetts subordinate, nothing more. I can give you the fifty percent, and figure out the rest.”

Fifteen million, she had that much.

She had saved quite a bit over the years.

It was Byte 7 who asked for an astronomical sum

“And what if you can’t come up with the rest later?”

pay you in ir stallments.

Byte 7 sculled his lean brows arching. “No way I don’t have time to chase down debts.”

Dorothy pursed her lips and had an instinct that this young man already had his answer in mind, so she

decided not to bargain and just asked, “What do you propose?”

“Id like to see what it’s like to date an older lady”

Dorothy didn’t know how to respond to this request.

“If you can’t scrape together the remaining balance, how about being my girlfriend for a month? Byte 7

paused, then quickly amended. “No, a week is enough. Women are such a hassle, I reckon I’d lose

interest after a week anyway”

Dorothy watched him rumble and felt a bit lost, but she was the one seeking his hep after all.

“I’m married, with kids. I don’t think I meet your cn teria.”

Byte 7 spread his hands, his prominent wrist bones catching the light. “I’m not looking to marry you.

What does it matter to me whether you’re married or have kids??

“But-”

“Stop nagging me. If you’re not up for it, forget it and lat mo be,” Bylo 7 sald, pushing the hard drive

aide and returning to his devices

Dorothy hesitated, then clenched her jaw to answer “Fino, Lagrepl

Alter a quick calculation in her mind, she thought she could sell her property and stocks if push came to

shove, she could ask Kenneth for a loan. There was no way she couldn’t come up with the balance, but

if she missed this chance, she might never see Bye 7 again.
