"You despicable person!" Reese was so angry that she wanted to tear Ricardo apart. She couldn't understand
why this person whom she calls father, who had watched her grow up, had becso repugnant towards her.
There is a saying that a daughter is her father's lover from a past life. She and Ricardo must have been enemies
in their previous life. Otherwise, she couldn't fathom why he treated her this way.
Ricardo nonchalantly replied, "Whether I'm despicable or not doesn't matter, as long as | achieve my goals. Move
fast, Reese. My patience is running thin."
Reese was both angry and sad, and Ava's eyes are becoming red as she took a look at her best friend. Ava was
filled with anger, couldn't hold back any longer, and spoke coldly, "Mr. Roberts, are you even human? Reese is
your daughter. How could you do this to her?"
Ricardo frowned, "And who are you?"
Angry, Ava retorted, "Who am I? You've been threatening to report me, yet you don't even know who | am. Let
Reese's life in your hands?"
"As for sendingto jail, ha! if you have the guts, take the surveillance footage and reportright at this
moment. If you don't putin jail today, I'll make sure you won't live to see another day." Ava's voice was
ruthless and cold, sending shivers down Ricardo's spine.
Feeling guilty, he said, "I won't talk to you. I'll talk to Reese. If such a thing happens again, don't expect to see
her ever again."
After saying this, he quickly hung up the phone.
Ava was a suprhacker, and with her expertise, no one would dare to offend her.

This was the first tshe had encountered such a shameless and despicable person like Ricardo Roberts.
Ava gripped the phone that had been hung up with a cold and fierce expression.
Reese still looked somewhat dazed.
Ava calmed down and glanced at her. "Reese, I'm sorry | was impulsive, but | can't stand his threats towards
you." She said.
She had been a bit impulsive earlier, but what if she had provoked Ricardo and he started burning the letter?
After all, that letter held vital importance for Reese.
Reese shook her head slightly, "It's all right, you did the right thing. We can't be too lenient with him; otherwise,
he might use this to threatenforever. Maybe he really is determined to burn the letter, but based on what |
know about him, he won't easily get rid of something he can use to control me. Don't worry about the letter; I'm
not concerned about that. I'm just worried he might harm you. After all, he has the surveillance footage, and if
he really decides to report you..."
Ava's eyes flickered, and she took her laptop from the back seat. While turning it on and connecting to the car's
mobile network, she asked Reese, "When was your father's study computer installed?"
Reese mentioned a rough tframe.
Ava typed quickly on the keyboard.
Reese asked her, "What are you doing?"
Ava operated swiftly and calmly replied, "I can determine the model of his computer by using the approximate
twhen it was installed and the information available online. However, | must clarify that | do not condone
hacking or any unethical behavior. It is important to always respect privacy and the law. It is never okay to
record surveillance videos without consent, and it is not a reliable way to avoid legal consequences. It is crucial
to always act with integrity and avoid putting oneself and others in compromising situations."
After Ava finished speaking, her fingers stopped.
She glanced at Reese with a faint smile and said, "With my technical skills, not many people can trace me. Now,
you can relax and stop worrying about me."
Reese looked at Ava and sincerely praised her, "Ava, you're amazing." She couldn't help but admire her friend's
skills and dedication to helping her in this risky endeavor.
Ava's face showed no expression, but her words were amusing, "As your friend, | have to be just as impressive as
you." Reese chuckled at Ava's dry humor, appreciating the subtle wit that cwith their friendship.
After Ava started the car, she said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital first." Reese nodded, grateful for Ava's
willingness to help her even further by driving her to safety.
Perhaps the adrenaline and excitement of the night had distracted her from her earlier irritation with Ricardo.
Reese couldn't help but notice the contrast between Ava's cold demeanor earlier at lunchtand the
supportive, almost cheerful atmosphere they shared now.
Remembering Ava's complaints about not being able to see more of Cole at Strakovski Jewelry when she started
working there, Reese playfully joked, "You know what, Ava? If you ever get caught, I'll make sure Cole bails you
out." She wanted to lighten the mood and show her gratitude to Ava.
Ava was taken aback by Reese's remark, but she responded in a cool tone with a hint of sarcasm, "Is that so?
Then, | must have made a mistake and missed the chance to see the director." Her remark elicited a smile from
Reese, happy to see her friend in a good mood.

Feeling a sense of camaraderie, Reese took out her phone and called Cole, "Wait today, I'll make sure he comes
and sees our Ava today."
On the phone, her voice bectically serious, "Director Hopkins."
At this moment, Cole hadn't finished work yet; he was called upstairs while discussing work with Lukas.
His phone was left on the sofa, and Lukas saw Reese's non the screen, signaling him to answer.
Hearing Reese's voice, Cole's brow immediately furrowed, "What's wrong? Is something happening?"
Reese's tone was serious and earnest, "Here's the thing, Director. Ava and | got into strouble, and we're now
at the hospital. We don't have our cards, and we don't have enough money to pay for the medical expenses. Can
you cover and help us settle the bill?"
Cole assumed they had been seriously injured when he heard this.
After all, Reese didn't let him transfer the money directly, but instead asked him to cover to the hospital,
implying that they were either seriously injured and no one was caring for them, or they had been corrupted and
needed his assistance. "Which hospital are you in right now?" Cole asked. "Wait a minute, I'll be right over
there."
"It's the Rivers Health Medical Center," Reese said, "where Ava was hospitalized the last time."
Cole hung up the phone and gave Lukas a solemn look. Before he could say anything, Lukas frowned at him and
asked, "It's Reese, isn't it? what's wrong with
her?"
