Julie felt the elevator swaying violently.

The grinding noises made it sound as though it would plunge at any second.

Her fear only grew.

With trembling hands, she hurriedly typed out a long farewell message to her family.

Just as she was about to send it-

The lights inside the elevator began flickering.

Bright.

Dark.

Bright.

Dark.

She no longer had the strength to speak.

Curling into a ball, she hugged her head and didn’t dare look up.

Beep-!

Just as the elevator shook its hardest-

A deafening alarm suddenly rang out.

It lasted only a few seconds.

Then…

Silence.

The elevator stopped shaking.

The lights stabilized.

Sitting before the computer, Iris watched the progress bar finally reach 100%.

The tension in her shoulders slowly melted away.

Fortunately, in the final two seconds she’d discovered a vulnerability in the other hacker’s code.

That single opening had allowed her to reverse the situation and fully restore the elevator’s operating system.

She picked up the phone.

“It’s over. Once the maintenance crew opens the elevator doors, you’ll be able to

come out.”

Julie remained dazed.

Several seconds passed before she managed to repeat the words.

“…It’s over?”

She was completely shaken.

She’d grown up pampered by the Young family, protected from every hardship imaginable.

She had never experienced danger this real.

Watching Iris finally relax, Nick felt his own heart lurch into his throat.

He…

Had failed?

How was that possible?

“The elevator…”

“It’s fixed?”

Iris merely glanced at him without answering. She closed his laptop, picked it up, and walked out.

Panic flashed across his face. He scrambled to his feet and lunged after her.

“Answer me! Is the elevator fixed?”

Iris sidestepped effortlessly.

Without even turning around, she left the office.

At the doorway, she pointed toward Nick.

“Keep an eye on him.”

The security guards nodded.

Nick staggered toward the desk, using it to pull himself upright.

A mirror sat on top.

The reflection staring back at him looked horrifying.

His face was deathly pale.

As if every drop of blood had drained from it.

This…

Had been the last chance that person had given him.

If he failed this time…

He would become nothing more than a discarded pawn.

By the time Bella returned with the elevator technicians, Iris was still standing outside the elevator, calmly talking to Julie through the doors to keep her conscious and composed.

The technicians worked quickly.

Within moments, they forced the doors open and helped Julie out.

The instant her feet touched solid ground…

Her knees nearly buckled.

Fortunately, Iris reacted first, catching her before she could collapse.

“Iris…”

Every ounce of fear she’d been suppressing came rushing out.

She threw her arms around Iris and burst into tears.

“You scared me to death! I really thought I was going to die…”

The technicians performed another complete inspection of the elevator.

Only after confirming that it was completely safe did they leave.

As they exited…

Police officers arrived.

Under the watch of the security guards, Nick had completely fallen apart.

The moment he saw Iris…

His eyes filled with murderous hatred.

If he could, he would have torn her apart with his bare hands.

After asking Bella to look after Julie, Iris walked over to him.

Her voice was ice cold.

“I’m giving you one last chance.”

“Tell me.”

“Who ordered you to do this?”

She believed Nick had wanted her dead.

She did not believe he possessed the technical ability to recruit someone capable of hacking an elevator control system.

The person on the other side had been an extremely skilled hacker.

If Iris hadn’t discovered that vulnerability with just half a second remaining…

Julie would already be dead.

Nick stared at her for a long moment.

Then he laughed.

“Aren’t

you supposed to be amazing? Can’t you figure it out yourself?”

“Even if I go to prison… that important person will get me out.”
