Chapter 122
Pearl knew Mare very well and knew Hubert even better.
Hubert cared about his own benefits almost more than anything else and would never befriend anyone who could not be of use to him. Since his attitude toward Mare completely reversed today, he must have benefitted from Mare in some ways.
As for Marc, he was a very ambitious person. As long as he made up his mind to do something, he would do it using any means necessary.
At the moment, he was very passionate about wooing Pearl Thus, after she rejected him, he would definitely try to figure out another way
Obviously, Hubert had already become Marc’s esteemed guest. In fact, Hubert might have already joined Marc’s team and had begun colluding
with him.
Marc gave Pearl a deep look.
He felt that Pearl could see right through him. He seemed to be completely transparent in front of her. No matter what he was doing or thinking. she could figure it out instantly and point it out.
he did not give him any face at all..
She
Marc’s voice was mild as he said calmly, “Don’t worry. Since he’s important to you, I won’t harm him.”
He did not answer Pearl’s question, yet his words were like lightning that struck Pearl, stunning her in place
She frowned and said. “Did you investigate me again?”
Others might not be able to keep up with Pearl’s train of thought, but to Marc, she seemed to have the ability to read his mind and could always hit his heart like a bullseye,
He confessed. “Yes”
Pearl frowned deeply.
Of course, she did not know how to read people’s minds. She simply knew him all too well. After all, she had loved this man for 10 years and lived with him for three.
Just as she had always known, Marc was a person who would always achieve his goal no matter what. There was no such thing as giving up halfway for him.
He had tried to investigate her before, but it failed when she hacked him back. However, this did not mean that he was going to give up.
Previously, Marc had such a huge problem with Hubert’s mere existence, yet he had a meal with Hubert today. Plus, Marc was most likely the one who paid for it. This meant that he had already figured out Pearl’s relationship with Hubert.
Could it be that… he had really gone back to his old job and cracked her encrypted file?
Pearl’s imagination ran wild as she deduced. As if a gust of cold air blew from within her chest, she asked almost monotonously. “What did you
find?”
“Not much.” Mare replied softly, “I know you ha
have five elder brothers, all from the same mother but different fathers. Hubert is your youngest elder
brother?
Pearl’s pupils shrunk with disbelief.
Marc continued. “Quentin is the second oldest. As for Henry, he should be the third oldest. So far, I’ve only seen these three. I haven’t seen your eldest elder brother Oliver, and the fourth oldest, Noali
Pearl’s face darkened completely.
At this moment, she felt that she had become translucent in front of Marc. That file recorded all her life and background. She had no idea how much Mare had cracked.
However, since he knew that she had dive half–brothers, it was ap
was apparent that he had already broken through the third level of the defense system.
The amount of time Mare spent to do that was way too short… Pearl thought, “Did he hire external help?”
She narrowed her eyes. After a long time, she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, “You found Lucas to help you”
“Yes” Marc did not hide in and “betrayed his friend without hesitation. “I only broke through two levels. Lucas helped me break through the thinl

Pearl snorted in her heart. It was no surprise to her that Lucas was involved.
“That guy still
got it, I see.
Pearl said sarcastically, but it sounded like she was praising Lucas to Mare. Thus, he could not help but feel a little jealous, “I broke through the first two levels of defense myself”
“So what? Am I supposed to praise you?”
Pearl glared at Mare angrily. Then, she curled her lips mockingly and said, “If you want to investigate, go ab capable enough to really break through the ten levels of the defense system.”
, go ahead. I can’t stop you. Let’s see if you’re
Marc’s expression froze
It took him a lot of time and effort to pick up what he had learned in the army. He thought that he could just open the file, but to his surprise, Pearl had locked every page with additional passwords.
Coding was not something that could be learned overnight. He could not pass the third page, no matter how hard he tried. Hence, in a moment of desperation, he had no choice but to get Lucas to help him
Initially, Lucas was still hesitant, worried that he would offend Pearl. However, he had always wanted to compete with Pearl in this aspect, so he agreed in the end.
He did not expect Pearls password design to be so complicated and exquisite. It was like a maze, and he was lost in it in no time.
It took Lucas almost an entre night to break through the third level
By the end, he raised his trembling hands and sighed at Marc. “It’s over. My consciousness is already in a mess. It’s as if I’m practicing witchcraft Am I going to lose my mind:
Mare stared at the third page of Pearls file. He did not even look at Lucas and only said perfunctorily.
