Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany Chapter 18

Tiffany’s jaw dropped. She remembered when Kenneth’s computer was hacked-he’d lost at ton of important data and was furious for days.

She’d secretly celebrated his misfortune, but never in a million years did she imagine her own little brother was behind it.

“Wow…” she stammered, staring at Eric in awe. This kid had a hidden talent.

After a moment to process, she asked, “When did you learn all this? Who taught you?”

Eric blinked innocently. “Is it supposed to be hard?”

Tiffany couldn’t help but smile. Her brother was a genius.

Filled with pride, she pulled Eric into a tight hug and planted a kiss on his cheek. “Well then, looks like I’ve got my own personal hacker for any of my future schemes,” she said with a playful grin.

Typically, an older sister might lecture her younger brother about the dangers of hacking, but Tiffany was anything but typical.

Eric, ever the devoted brother, nodded seriously. “You got it, sis. I’m ready to help!”

“You know,” Tiffany mused, tapping her chin thoughtfully, “I heard Kenneth’s been working on some big study guides and practice tests for next week’s exams…”

Their eyes met, and a silent understanding passed between them. Their shared wicked grins said it all-they didn’t even need to discuss it.

They would hack Kenneth’s computer until there was nothing left.

Just then, Charlie returned from work, completing the family gathering. As they all sat down for dinner, Tiffany’s gaze drifted to the other side of the table.

Selena and Sandra wore their usual polite smiles, sitting primly as always. Stan, however, looked like he was sitting on pins and needles, his eyes darting around the room, appearing utterly drained.

Tiffany couldn’t resist the urge to poke fun at him. “Stan, you don’t look so great,” she remarked with a hint of amusement.

Stan’s laugh was stiff. “Oh, it’s nothing. Just a little cold, I guess.”

Tiffany nodded, her spirits lifted. The evening’s main event was about to unfold, and she relished the thought of the first big present she had in store for the Olsons.

After her inquiry, Charlie joined them at the table, shrugging off his suit jacket with a satisfied grin.

He immediately began praising Stan. “Stan, you’ve really outdone yourself with this deal. Running around to secure those extra points of profit was no small feat. I’m proud of you! Take a couple of days off to rest.”

Before Stan could respond, Selena and Sandra’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Does that mean the contract is secured?” they asked eagerly.

“Yes, the shipment arrived today, and we should start the project next week, Charlie replied, clearly in high spirits.

Yet, despite the praise, Stan remained silent, drawing puzzled looks from everyone around the table.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Charlie asked.
