“Secondly, cloud data privacy is nothing new. Besides, when it comes to cybersecurity, Mr. Wheeler, you were once my hopeless subordinate. This so–called advantage means zilch.”
Under Janet’s casual gaze, Nigel suffered a crushing defeat.
Of all people, he had to fall for the one hacker who could overpower him so
