With things blown up this big, trying to sweep it under the rug was damn near impossible.

A thought suddenly flashed through Dominic’s mind. Almost without thinking, he muttered, “Hacking …

Everyone snapped their eyes to him.

“If Tilda knew her way around hacking–if she had some kind of app on her phone–then using the campus Wi–Fi, she could’ve copied every single video before they were deleted.”

Dominic wasn’t just throwing words around. He’d studied hacking himself–ranked 11th on the dark web board and rumored to be the apprentice of the infamous Queen.

Other than this explanation, Dominic couldn’t think of any possibility.

“Tilda … a hacker?”

Russell was stunned.

Just how many masks is this girl hiding behind?

“It’s very possible,” Dominic went on, his voice sharp, eyes narrowing with a cold glint. “I’ve seen her talent and obsession with coding firsthand. If she’s capable of beating my records so easily, then her being a top- tier hacker wouldn’t surprise me at all.”

Who would’ve thought…

Tilda has been hiding this card all along.

It wasn’t just Russell who had underestimated her.

Even Dominic had.

Who would’ve thought a so–called “ordinary college girl” could have that kind of power?

But if she did have it, then suddenly it made sense–her close ties with Andy, the renowned lawyer.

It all lined up.

“I’m sorry, Dad, Dominic … it’s my fault. I got careless and never checked Fiona’s phone…

Howard’s gut twisted with regret.

The way things had blown up, the way it had gotten so tangled–that was on him.

He’d gone soft. Let guilt get in the way.

He wanted to slam his own head against the wall.

“It’s not on you, Howard,” Dominic said flatly. “If Tilda’s really working at that level, you never would’ve

Dominic leaned forward. “What I need to know is–how much time did you actually have to clean things up?”

“Barely any. Dad walked out of the dining hall, and I jumped in with campus security right after. The first order of business was wiping the surveillance.

“I checked my watch–under five minutes, tops. I’m sure of it.”

Five minutes…

That wasn’t enough time.

Dominic’s jaw tightened.

Hacking into a student’s phone and ripping the videos-

And on top of that, breaking into campus surveillance?

With all the chaos flying around, five minutes was nothing. Hell, it was probably less.

Pulling off both hacks at once? Even I–Mr. 11th place on the dark web boards—couldn’t have done it.

But Tilda had. She’d actually pulled it off.

What else is she keeping under wraps? What the hell else had she buried so deep even I couldn’t sniff it out?

Looking at her, you’d never guess… She blends in like any other college kid. But underneath? She’s something else entirely.

She let out a quiet sigh. “But… you and I go back a long way. So I’ll let it slide this time, and I’ll help you figure out how to cut your losses.”
