“Revealing my identity isn’t difficult, Emma thought. But after exposure, Liam will become suspicious, and it will bring a lot of trouble. But if I don’t save myself, with charges of cybercrime and selling student datat estimate that the minimum sentence for imprisonment is at least

three years.

Just as Emma was in a dilemma, someone knocked on the door of the interrogation room.

“Mr. Hayden, we’ve found new information regarding the student data case,” a police officer said.

Emma lihed her eyebrows.

The interrogator was also puzzled. “New information?” he said,

“Yeah,” the police officer said, “it’s them!”

As he spoke, he brought in two people.

Emma lifted her head and looked out of the door.

Kate gritted her teeth as she was brought in. She was followed closely by Vere, who had a calm expression.

“Vere?” Emma said, feeling somewhat surprised.

Vere’s usually arrogant and fierce face actually had a trace of guilt when facing Emma.

Emma immediately understood, thinking, ‘This time, it’s related to Vere.

Vere sat down and looked at Emma, saying, “Emma, I’m sorry. You once did me a favor, but I framed you for the sake of my own benefit. Now, I’m ready to come clean about everything”

“You,” Kate said as she gritted her teeth.

She warned Vere with her gaze, but he acted as if he did not see it.

The police officer stared at Kate and said, “Everyone is equal before the law. Miss Johnson, don’t even think about using force and oppression. It won’t work! Vere, tell us everything you know. We will handle it fairly and justly according to the circumstances.”

Vere recounted the whole story truthfully, detailing the events from the beginning to the end, including how he had hacked into the student database back then, the process of Kate threatening him, and how he had “framed” Emma by attributing all those activity traces to her

network address.

Throughout the period when Vere recounted the story, Emma crossed her arms and long legs, listening quietly with a remarkably calm expression.

Kate was worked up. She said, “Vere, you’re falsely accusing me! H–how could I possibly threaten you? Sir, they both work together to frame me. Look, here’s the evidence that they are both hackers. They are both hackers and classmates, while I’m just a good citizen. Besides, I’m not short of money, so why would I sell these things? They’re working together to hurl mud at me!”

As Kate spoke, she took out the documents.
