Chapter 163 Being Attacked
Catherine entered the room, claiming she needed to do her homework. However, this was merely an
excuse to deceive Audrey.
In fact, she had to deal with the affairs of the base. Their organization, Hacker Alliance, was currently
under attack from cyber assailants. Furthermore, it was not just a single elite hacker attacking them but
a team of hackers.
In the afternoon, Catherine had already made arrangements, and the group of hackers would have no
way out tonight. Ronin initiated a video call to have a real-time conversation with Catherine.
“Boss, here comes that gang of riffraff!
Catherine turned her gaze toward the computer screen, only to find a swarm. of red attack points
relentlessly targeting the firewall set up in the base.
The first wave of attack, seemingly not so fierce, was more like a probing. Those people slowly
approach Catherine’s bottom line step by step, touching and exploring it continuously.
Ronin tapped on the keyboard excitedly, engaging in a fierce confrontation with the opponent. He was
just like a cat chasing a mouse relentlessly. There was a mischievous smile on the young boy’s fair and
slightly tender face. His clear eyes were filled with a glamorous yet excited radiance.
“Boss, they aren’t good at all! Look, they can’t even catch me. How dare they challenge you?”
He was the vanguard. If the attacker failed to pass even this obstacle, it went without saying that they
wouldn’t be able to win over Catherine.
Catherine leaned to one side, gazing at the computer screen with her stunningly beautiful face. “Ronin,
you must not take this lightly!”
Catherine simply reminded him of this without saying much. Ronin grinned and shouted confidently,
“Don’t worry, Boss. I know what I’m doing!”
Since he had said so, Catherine didn’t pay him further attention. Upon catching a whiff of fragrance
wafting in from outside, Catherine set her computer aside and got up to walk out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs she left, Ronin exclaimed hastily, Boss, why are you leaving? Do you not need me anymore?”
Watching the drama of crying and wailing about to unfold, Catherine left a word without turning around.
“Eating!”
“Oh…” Ronin sounded sad, but he didn’t dare to stop Catherine. He just obediently reminded her,
“Boss, go ahead. I’ll guard here!”
Before he could finish, the figure of Catherine had vanished without a trace. Initially, Catherine thought
that Audrey would order mild dishes, but to her surprise, all she saw were red chili sauce.
“Buffalo wings?”
Catherine asked casually.
Audrey looked at Catherine with delight and said, “Kathy, your nose is really impressive. How can you
tell just by smelling it? You are truly an amazing little baby!”
Faced with Audrey’s fierce praise, Catherine was left dumbfounded by her accolades. She frowned as
she looked at the dishes on the table. “Is something that can be seen through with just one glance
worth boasting about?” said she inwardly.
Audrey was glanced at by Catherine and belatedly realized that she might have been a bit too much
exaggerated.
Her gaze was somewhat elusive. She smiled awkwardly, not daring to meet Catherine’s eyes directly.
Because Catherine’s gaze always made her feel like she was a fool.
“Alright, let’s eat while it’s still hot. I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance before, and the taste is
absolutely amazing. I’ve been expecting to bring you there to try it but never got the chance, so today is
the perfect timing!”
Seeing the anticipation on Audrey’s face, Catherine chose not to expose her hidden agenda in
changing the subject.
The flavor of New Orleans chicken wings differed from that of Buffalo wings. New Orleans chicken
wings emphasized a sweet and spicy taste, while Buffalo wings emphasized a zestier flavor.
Although there were differences, for a lover of spicy food like Catherine, any spicy food was sufficient.
“Kathy, come on, hurry up and eat!”
At the urging of Audrey, Catherine tasted the steak. Seeing her eating quietly without any comments,
Audrey grew impatient.
“Kathy, why don’t you tell me if it tastes good?”
Catherine raised her eyebrows and glanced at Audrey, saying, “If you think it’s not delicious, do you
think I will eat it?”
In Catherine’s world, there were only things she liked and disliked. There was nothing that she must
like. She would not compromise easily, nor would she be forced into doing something against her will.
When she heard Catherine’s response, Audrey’s face lit up with a pleasant smile as she nodded
approvingly and said thoughtfully, “You are absolutely right!”
Unlike the silent Catherine, Audrey loved to chat with familiar people. During the meal, her
conversation with Catherine never ceased as she tried to find various topics to talk about.
“I also think that this restaurant is good. Although the takeout may not be as good as dining in, it saves
a lot more time because I personally go there to pack it myself. There isn’t too much of a difference!”
Upon hearing this, Catherine paused momentarily and looked up with a thought flickering in her
beautiful eyes.
“You said you went there to pack the food?” she asked. Without hesitation, Audrey nodded and replied,
“Yes, that would be quicker and reduce the impact on the taste. “You didn’t eat much lately. I thought
maybe the takeout food wasn’t tasty, so I decided to give it a try.”
Audrey spoke calmly, while Catherine appeared slightly distracted by the address on the packaging
tape. The journey was nearly six miles long, and now was the time to get off work. During the peak
hours, it took at least half an hour to travel to this destination.
“No wonder she had been gone for such a long time. It turned out that she personally went to pack the
dishes.
“She actually noticed that I didn’t have much of an appetite lately, and she even went back and forth to
make me eat a little more,” said Catherine inwardly. During this meal, Catherine ate quite a lot. Feeling
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhappy, she naturally decided to indulge a bit more.
After finishing eating, Catherine was about to clean up the table. Seeing this, Audrey said
enthusiastically, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. Aren’t you busy with your homework? Go ahead.”
Catherine initially intended to decline, but her phone, which was placed in her pocket, vibrated twice at
that moment.
She abruptly stopped what she was doing and headed toward the room. Audrey couldn’t help but smile
when she saw the empty food box in front of her.
“Catherine ate so much. It’s not in vain for me to come all the way to get takeout,” said she inwardly.
After spending a considerable amount of time together, she came to the understanding that Catherine’s
seemingly aloof demeanor was merely a facade. Inside, Catherine concealed a kind and enthusiastic
heart.
“It’s such a pity that life isn’t fair, making her face all those hardships from a young age,” said Audrey
inwardly.
“She is my sister.” Thinking about these things made Audrey’s heart ache.. She decided to make
amends for her parents and treat Catherine with even more kindness, letting Catherine feel the warmth
of a family.
When Catherine returned to her computer, she heard Ronin’s desperate cry for help echoing. “Boss,
you’re finally back. I was being bullied. Hurry up and help me!”
Seeing that Catherine was still calm and collected, Ronin emphasized once again.
“I’m really at my limit!”
Catherine gave him a disdainful look and said mockingly in a soft voice, Didn’t you say you were fine
and could handle it?”
Ronin wanted to slap himself to salvage his past bragging blunders. He did not expect these hackers to
be so despicable. There were so many masters behind that he ended up being defeated.
Catherine didn’t want to waste time talking nonsense to him, so she quickly joined the battle after
turning on her computer.
“Mess with my people?
“Trying to provoke my network? defense “Since you’re here, don’t even think about escaping!” thought
she.
