No longer a pushover

Chapter 443

Cedric did not even need to check his phone to know who was calling. He and Noelle exchanged a glance and spoke at the same time.

Noelle said, "You should take the call first."

Cedric stepped aside to answer while Noelle returned to her room and opened her laptop. She quickly hacked into Xenia's phone, but to her surprise, the Trojan software she had implanted was gone.

She blurted out, "What's going on? Did Xenia find out?"

When Noelle tried to reinstall the Trojan, she was immediately hit with a firewall attack. She realized that Xenia had installed anti-hacking software.

Nonetheless, she did not linger and immediately pulled back. She wondered if she had just tipped Xenia off. Then again, how did the latter catch on so fast?

Noelle pondered on the next step. She knew Xenia would only be more cautious, making it much harder to find any useful clues.

Noelle stared at her screen, her suspicion growing stronger-Sean was not as simple as he seemed. She was becoming more and more convinced that the car accident years ago was not an accident at all.

Meanwhile, Cedric took the elevator downstairs. Just as he expected, Emma was still there, lingering near the stairwell.

She looked a little uneasy as she faced him. She explained, "I came to the hospital just to check out that girl. After all, you've been making quite a few moves for her these past few days."
