"Got any plans for the future?" Leo finally spoke up about his ambitions for the first time.

To his surprise, Mia and Molly, who usually would have teased him endlessly, paused to seriously consider the feasibility of his newfound interest in cybersecurity.

"This is the first time we're hearing about it," they both admitted.

Leo explained, "I know you two might not know, but my uncle and my aunt's husband are quite knowledgeable about the industry."

A lightbulb went off in Mia's head. "Leo, you've got to be honest with me and Molly. That hacker friend, Anya..."

"Yeah... that's me."

The sisters were in shock!

Unable to hold back, Aunt Jade landed a playful punch on Leo's back. "So, you were making fun of me that day?" She had tried to tease Leo with Anya's admirer, who was also a hacker. No wonder he seemed so unbothered at dinner. It turns out, he was the hacker! Rubbing his back, Leo glanced at his aunt. "You're married now. Be a bit gentler, will you?"

Mia quickly asked, "Does my husband know it's you?"

Leo nodded impatiently. "He guessed it." He wasn't sure at first, but after buying a car, it became clear his uncle knew everything but chose to keep it under wraps.

"And my Chad?" Molly hurriedly asked.

"He doesn't know yet. Anya helped me keep it a secret."

The sisters were stunned to learn that their childhood playmate was actually a renowned hacker.
