Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1449

Catherine watched Serena walk away, her eyes brimming with worry.

Edward took her hand, his voice low and soothing. "Let her go."

Catherine's fingers tightened.

She knew the dangers her daughter faced were far more terrifying than they could imagine.

But she also knew her daughter had never been a fragile flower meant to be hidden in a greenhouse.

Forcing down her anxiety, Catherine nodded slightly. "I know. We won't hold her back."

...

Inside the second-floor lounge.

The heavy oak doors clicked shut, completely cutting off the lively noise of the gala below.

Jasper slammed his laptop onto the desk and hooked it into the room's encrypted terminal.

On the screen, the crimson alerts were still flashing wildly.

A secure video feed from The Federal Oversight Task Force connected instantly.

The federal technicians were drenched in cold sweat.

"Miss Serena, the internal purge speed is too fast! We tried to quarantine the chip, but it's not an isolated self-destruct."

"It's burning the hardware while simultaneously broadcasting wipe commands outward. The Sinclair offshore servers, the Whitecliffe Harbor projects, the foundation's cash flows—the entire network is collapsing!"

Another technician gritted his teeth. "We can't catch it! It's as if they pre-programmed every escape route. The moment we attempted to decode the chip, the chain reaction started."

"We've already lost thirty-seven percent of the data, and the infection is still spreading."

Jerrick's expression was deadly. "No wonder Alaric was so arrogant earlier. It wasn't because he wasn't afraid to die; it was because he knew Obsidian Sun would clean up his mess."

Nicholas's eyes were pitch black. "As long as the direct link between Obsidian Sun and the Sinclair family is burned to ash, Alaric can claim it was merely poor financial oversight. At worst, he goes down for illegal money laundering, offshore data breaches, and corporate fraud."

"That's a slap on the wrist compared to funding Obsidian Sun, bankrolling human experimentation, and committing high treason."

Jasper let out a vicious laugh. "They really think they can just burn the evidence and walk away?"
