She Became Rich After Divorce by Georgina Lane

Chapter 178: Easy Money Cheyenne had a strange feeling of familiarity with "Excalibur7" even though they had just met for the first time. She gave him the virus she stole, and he analyzed the corresponding code within ten minutes, finding the source of error.

The code was too long for her to type out by herself - even with her typing speed of 7000 words per hour - it would take her a day or more. Excalibur? suggested they work together on it; he edited the first half while Cheyenne worked on the second half. Finally, they combined their work into a perfect cracking package. Cheyenne's successful hacking helped Kelvin save the Foley Group from disaster. She also destroyed Jerry' ten sets of papers left on his computer desktop so thoroughly that not even recycling could find them! Afterward, Excalibur? offered to transfer money to Cheyenne's account but she declined his offer.

The latter quietly gave her a thumbs-up, and it was this small gesture that led Jerry to believe the absurd idea that "Mr. X" and "Excalibur7" were the sperson.

As Cheyenne regained her composure, she finally understood the reason Jerry had hacked into the Foley Group without stealing any company assets.

It was Nora.

Three years ago, she had married into the Foley family, a marriage that Malaya originally intended to arrange differently. However, old Mr. Foley insisted on her marrying into their family, so Nora was ruled out before she had a chance to meet Kelvin.

Jerry's actions were motivated by his affection for Nora and his desire to stand up for her.

She crossed her legs gracefully and adjusted her position in a serious manner. Her lips, luscious and slightly parted, displayed a set of pearly white teeth that gleamed in the sunlight. With a coy smile, she softly uttered, "Jerry? Or perhaps, should I call you CutieLovesAutumn?" The moment these words left her lips, Jerry nearly dropped to his knees. He plopped down onto a nearby chair, looking around as he realized that everyone was focused on the leader giving a speech on the stage, completely unaware of their conversation.

Summoning the courage to lean closer to Cheyenne's ear, he hissed through gritted teeth, his breath brushing against her skin, "How did you know?" The fact that he was a computer hacker was a secret that even his parents didn't know. To his classmates and friends, he was just a video genthusiast who spent his days eating instant noodles and gaming. Little did they know that behind their backs, he spent his days coding.

Cheyenne squinted her eyes playfully, resembling a cunning little fox who had just scored a win. Her words, however, were enough to make anyone laugh and cry at the stime. "Of course, I knew. I also know that you lost your homework. To be honest, it might be a good thing since, as a slacker, none of your answers were correct." Jerry's lips twitched in response, and he shot her an exasperated look. "What gives you, the second-worst in our grade, the right to criticize me? Wait a minute... How did you know about my homework? Don't tell me!" He had worked tirelessly, creating ten different sets of assignments and even planned to ace the mock exams, all in an attempt to climb out of the abyss of the worst students in their class. But the next day, when he turned on his computer to submit his homework, it was nothing but a blank screen! For a renowned international hacker, this was the ultimate humiliation. Cheyenne tilted her head slightly. She blew a strand of hair out of her face and said with a hint of a smile, "My skills might be just a tiny bit better than yours. Care to guess who I am?" The word "X" was stuck in Jerry's throat, impossible to utter.

In order to comfort himself, he had imagined "Mr. X" as an overweight, middle-aged man in his thirties. However, the girl in front of him had luscious red lips and pearly white teeth, radiating an aura of delicacy and charm that was worlds apart from the image of a "nerd".

"Don't look so surprised. There's something even more surprising waiting for you. Would you like to hear it?" Cheyenne playfully beckoned him closer with a hook of her finger.

Jerry was filled with curiosity, but his instincts warned him that this might not be good news. Something about this enigmatic woman felt wrong. She could be alluring and charming, but there was an underlying sense of danger in her every move.

Young people were always brimming with curiosity, especially when it cto the unknown. "What... what are you talking about?" He finally conceded.

Cheyenne lowered her head, her voice carrying a tantalizing note. "What if I told Kelvin about you being Jerry, aka CutieLovesAutumn? He paid ten million for your information before,” she said.

It was definitely not a good thing! If Kelvin found out... Jerry shuddered, afraid of what might happen to him.

His body stiffened and his smile becfrozen.

"Don't... don't do this. We're alumni. Ahem, we graduated from the shigh school at the syear. Cheyenne, please be kind and let it go," he pleaded.

Cheyenne looked down on him. "From elementary school to university, I at least have eight thousand alumni." "Heh, it's different. Elementary school is all about innocence, middle school is filled with teenage rebellion, but only in high school do you find the purest friendships. Once you enter college, the social dynamics change, and even friendship becomes tainted." "So what if we're alumni? Is it worth ten million?" If she wanted to tell Kelvin about this three years ago when she found out, she would have done so already.

The reason why she didn't reveal it was because first of all, Kelvin didn't like her; secondly, although Jerry hacked into the Foley Group's system, he did so only to help Nora vent her anger - fundamentally he wasn't bad. "X... no Miss Lawrence! I'm sorry! What can I do for you to forgive me?" "It's simple - giveten million dollars." Cheyenne said softly.

After hearing that request, Jerry was upset. "Can we negotiate?" "No." She was hardhearted!

He had been a hacker for five years now and had finally saved enough money to buy himself @Rolls-Royce car! He Masive just one hundred thousand away from getting his dream car but Cheyenne easily took his savings with just one sentence. His Rolls-Royce...

Boohoo!

For quite stafter that incident, "CutieLovesAutumn" stayed in his room, ate instant noodles with different flavors for meal and worked harder in coding.
