Chapter 136
When Lainey emerged from the ward, she immediately thought something was off with Millie. She cleared her throat before calling, âMillie?â
Millie froze, locking eyes with Laineyâs puzzled stare She then quietly looked down at her stance and realized how awkward she must have seemed.
After a hectic morning, Millie finally had a moment to rest around noon.
She retrieved her phone and accessed her hacking system. To her shock, her Trojan horse had been cracked.
Millie immediately went online to search for Greer Group. Sure enough, they had resumed normal operations.
Millie couldnât help but wonder which hacker Winson had hired. They were truly skilled.
Just as she was figuring out her next steps, a message from Marvin came through. âBoss, M Base has been hacked, and theyâre Winstonâs people.â
Millie was drinking water when she saw the text and hearly choked. She couldnât believe it.
Marvin added, âThey even left a message that saidâIs that the best you can do?â
Millie: âWhat the hell? How arrogant! Isnât this a blatant provocation?â
Marvin: âIâve looked into it. The hackerâs code name is Viper, and he works exclusively for Winston. Heâs in charge of Greer Groupâs security. His skills are on par with Drewâs. After our recent attack on Greer Group, going after them again will be much tougher.â
Millie read Marvinâs message with a darkened expression. Tough? Then they should forget about the Greer Group. Why should they focus on the company? They could target Winston instead.
Millie: âWhy donât you just plant a Trojan horse on Winstonâs phone?â
Marvin: âBoss, I think we should reconsider this.â
Millie: âNo need to think it over. Just go for it.â
That evening, Millie was in the kitchen of the Greer residence, helping Selma with various tasks.
But Selma pushed her away, saying, âOh, Mills, you donât need to lift a finger when youâre here. Just go take a seat. Dinner will be ready soon!â
Millie walked out of the kitchen and sighed deeply. The moment she turned, she saw Winston talking on the phone by the floorâtoâcelling window.
He was clad in a black suit, his tall frame and slender waist exuding a captivating allure. He seemed to sense Millieâs intense gaze as he abruptly turned and locked eyes with her.

She quickly looked away but could still hear him say âOnce you find this person, bring them to me. Iâll interrogate them myself!â
Winstonâs tone was unusually chilly, and it was evident to the naked eye that he appeared more tired than usual.
âI donât care how you do it; just locate the person! Do you have any idea how much theyâve cost Greer Group this morning?â
His voice grew increasingly agitated as he snapped, âEven cutting off one of their fingers would be a small price to pay!â
Millie was momentarily stunned. Winston had mentioned severing the hackerâs finger. Suddenly, she felt an urge to ensure Marvinâs fingers were safe.
But why was she even considering this? The hacker Winston hired was incredibly skilled. Therefore, it was only right to postpone the plan to hack his phone for now.
Millie retrieved her phone to text Marvin. She was planning to tell him that the plan to sabotage Winstonâs phone required careful deliberation.
However, before she could finish typing, Marvinâs message arrived. It was as if they could read each otherâs minds.
Marvin: âBoss, itâs done! In three minutes, Winstonâs phone will be useless!â
Millie was at a loss for words. Marvin wasnât usually this quick to act. What had gotten into him today?
Millie: âWhat if we were to retract it nowâ¦â
Marvin: âRetract the Trojan horse? Thatâs not an option!â
Millie: âPlease take good care of your fingers.â
Marvin thought it over. He assumed Millie had praised him for his efficiency and good work, convincing him that his hands needed extra care.
