The news from Karl and the unexpected incident had Trevor on edge.
What is this? Skind of surrender to Aubree?’ he thought.
He had just typed out the rejection in the message box when Sophia’s call popped up, and his frown only
deepened. ‘What does she want now? Bored out of her mind?‘
Without hesitation, Trevor declined the call. He deleted two words from his drafted message and sent a simple
“Fine.”
Compared to dealing with Sophia’s theatrics, he'd rather film smini-s.
His agreement eased Karl's tension. [Oh, and here's the female lead for the mini .]
A photo of the female lead popped up, and Trevor stared at it for a few seconds, a little dazed. The girl in the
picture looked so innocent and ethereal, dressed in a white dress. She was the very embodiment of a dream girl.
Are there really girls so innocent out there?’ he wondered.
Suddenly, he wasn’t so against the idea of this short anymore.

Not even days after the last crisis, before Alvin could finish his work and head to Stdlichen Strand to reinforce
their firewall, GrabCheap was under attack again.
“This doesn’t make sense. Last time, Irvin helped us rebuild a brand new defense wall, and we tested it. There's
no way they should break through this easily.”
“Seriously, is this ever going to stop? Who's the bastard with nothing better to do than target us? Looks like
we're pulling another all-nighter!” another person complained.
“Oh, probably another bluff like last time. They'll attack a couple rounds, fail, and bail.”
The tech team joked among themselves, numb from the constant assaults.
No one noticed Irvin's cold stare as the servers were breached, or the mocking smirk he wore at their dismissive
comments.
Birgitte, assuming this was another scare tactic after the last large-scale attack, didn’t alert Aubree. “Irvin, can
you trace who's behind it this time?”
Irvin quickly schooled his expression into his usual smile. I'll try, Ms. Cherniavsky, but their skills are
unpredictable. No guarantees.”
“That's fine. Just do what you can.”
Of course, he wouldn't trace it back. He’d make things worse.
“Ms. Cherniavsky, we have a problem.”
“Users are flooding online, claiming the attack leaked their private data. They're demanding an explanation.
“At first, it was just individual users complaining, but now cybersecurity experts are stepping in, claiming our
servers are suspected of injecting malicious code into users’ devices and leaking all their personal data.
“The worst part...” the assistant said, her voice trembling.
Someone finished for her. “We've been fully breached. The servers are crashing. User data is at risk.”
A privacy leak? Panic was inevitable.
“The media is hyping this up online, claiming the attack harmed users, sellers, and the platform, with losses in
the billions.”
“Ms. Cherniavsky, Manchotech is on the line.”
The servers, which had never collapsed before, sent the once-relaxed tech team into a frenzy.
Birgitte’s expression hardened instantly. This was their real goal-breach the servers, leak data, incite panic, and
crash the stock.
GrabCheap faced its worst crisis. Users couldn't log in. It was a death blow for a high-traffic platform. Every
second of downtmeant millions lost. If repairs dragged on, the “hundred-billion loss” rumors might become
reality.
“How did they find a vulnerability so fast? The tech team just reinforced everything. It makes no sense!‘ Birgitte
thought, baffled.

Chapter 467
By 8 PM. not a single person had left work. Six hours had passed since the attack, and Irvin's team still hadn't
made any headway with the servers.
Birgitte had already called Manchotech for backup, but the situation remained dire.
Their tech support could only slow the attack, not stop it.
Social media was flooded with posts about the GrabCheap attack, and susers were absolutely furious.
Things were looking really bad for GrabCheap
