Talented Hairess A Rose with Thorns (Yvette and Wilson) novel Chapter 556

Chapter 556 

Bernice felt a jolt of fear upon hearing Jacob’s stern words. Her face darkened as she defended herself, “Colonel Murray, I’m just following the rules. The security center houses sensitive military information. Civilians aren’t allowed here, and I’m responsible for protecting the premise.” a 

Foolish! Adam said impatiently, “Do you really think I’d bring her here without authorization from the higher–ups?” 

That certainly shut Bernice up. She bit her bottom lip, clearly frustrated, but she didn’t dare push the matter further. 

“Let’s go, Yvie,” Adam said, ignoring Bernice as he led Yvette inside. 

Even though Adam’s cold dismissal stung, Bernice recalled his earlier displeasure and decided to suppress her anger. 

Bernice glared at Yvette’s receding back, her eyes brimming with resentment. Who was she? Why could she receive such special treatment from someone as strict as Adam? 

Just then, an officer rushed over. “Ms. Lowel, we have a problem! Foreign hackers are attacking our system again!” 

“What?” Bernice cast a final scathing glance at Yvette as she barked orders. “Show me what’s happening. Handle the unauthorized personnel immediately.” 

No matter what strings Yvette had pulled to get close to Adam, she was about to be thrown out of the security center. 

Feeling triumphant, Bernice lifted her chin and strutted past Yvette, deliberately emphasizing her authority. Bernice wasn’t just some nobody relying on connections -she had earned her position through hard work and skills. 

“Adam, let’s watch the show,” Yvette said. If Bernice could fend off the foreign hacker team’s attack, the military wouldn’t be going to such lengths to find Yvette. 

“Okay, let’s go.” Adam would agree to anything Yvette asked without hesitation. 

Bernice sat in front of the main computer controlling all the systems in the security center, her earlier confidence completely vanished. Her face was tense, clearly overwhelmed by the 

situation. 

As seconds ticked by, beads of cold sweat formed on Bernice’s forehead. She had exerted every effort, yet the hackers‘ assault grew more ferocious by the moment. 

Bernice struggled to keep up. Her defenses were crumbling, and the speed of the attacks was relentless. Layer after layer of firewalls fell, leaving only the last barrier standing. 

At this point, everyone’s hearts were in their throats. They understood the gravity of the situation. If the final firewall fell, the military’s secrets would be stolen by foreign powers. 

“Step aside.” 

Everyone turned their attention to the commanding voice.
