Chapter 461
Tristan led Sophie there in person. At the advent of their employer, the cyber security specialists grew more anxious.
The hacker, this time, was too capable.
Even with their numbers, they struggled to defend the company’s cyber security.
Taking in their demeanors, Sophie shook her head.
She said to one of the cyber security specialists in his thirties, “Move aside. I’ll take care of it.”
The cyber security specialist was stunned. What? What can she take care of?
“Ms. Tanner, this is not a game. We are working, so can you please not make things difficult for us?” We’re swamped right now. Although she’s Mr. Tristan’s girlfriend, she shouldn’t be messing around at this moment.
Sophie could not help but frown when he saw him sitting unmoving. “You’re the most incompetent among the cyber security specialists here, aren’t you? I’m telling you to move away at once.”
The middle-aged man was at a loss for words.
He was exasperated having been criticized in that manner. No one would feel happy after they were slammed as being the most unskillful employee.
However, when he met Tristan’s gaze, that middle-aged man had no choice but to get up from his seat and stand on one side. I’d like to see how capable this missy, who seems to be overestimating her own abilities, is. Mr. Tristan has always been wise and brilliant. I don’t know how she managed to convince him to bring her to our company’s headquarters. I can only hope she’s not here to play computer games.
“Mr. Tristan, if Ms. Tanner wishes to play games, we have spare computers here. She’s delaying our work progress by doing this,” that middle-aged man uttered indignantly.
“She can do whatever she likes. You’re not qualified to be making any comments.” Tristan was unaware of Sophie’s knowledge in information technology, but he had faith in her.
He believed she wouldn’t just fool around.
Sophie felt warmth in her heart because of the way Tristan trusted her. He had never known of her abilities, yet he never tried to stop her.
“Don’t worry. Now that I’m here, I won’t disappoint you.” Sophie regarded him with a dazzling smile.
Tristan fell into a daze for an instant. She’s just so mesmerizing, captivating my heart and rendering me willing to do everything for her.
“You’ve never disappointed me.” Not once in the past, nor will you ever disappoint me in the future. This is what I firmly believe in.
Sophie liked him.
Her affection toward him intensified with every passing day.
She liked how he favored and trusted her without needing any reason.
A man as dedicated as him was undoubtedly hard to resist.
Felix entered the room as well. He could fathom that middle-aged man’s frustration. Mr. Tristan has always been so trusting of Sophie.
“Sophie, you—”
Before Felix could finish his sentence, he stopped short after meeting Tristan’s stern gaze.
Fine. I can’t say anything. I can only stand aside and watch in silence. This Sophie is indeed a dangerous woman.
The next moment, Felix was dumbfounded right after he saw Sophie making a move. Her typing speed is incredible!
Although he wasn’t tech-savvy, he could ascertain her professionalism by looking at her movements.
“Hah! You’re flashy, but you aren’t skilled.” The middle-aged man could not help commenting.
However, everyone ignored him.
Sophie was displeased because these people had interrupted Tristan’s rest time. That was why she had decided to take charge personally in handling that issue.
Multiple codes appeared on the computer screen as she worked. Soon, she managed to trace the other party’s IP address and tracked their location.
Then, she arrogantly sent the hacker a warning.
Meanwhile, the hacker saw his computer had been hacked. Not only was he unable to move his mouse, but a sentence could also be seen on his screen: If you dare to do this again, your entire family will die horrible deaths!
The hacker’s face darkened. My opponent is so conceited.
He attempted to preserve some information but realized he couldn’t repair his computer. Even shutting down the computer became an impossible task.
“This is outrageous!”
Ultimately, the hacker had no choice but to unplug the network cable. But still, he couldn’t fix his computer after doing that.
Sophie, on the other hand, was done addressing the system infiltration problem. “Do you have a flash drive?”
Felix immediately found a flash drive and handed it to her.
Sophie copied the hacker’s information into the flash drive.
“I’ll leave the rest to you. My Tristan is still sick. If you have any matter you cannot resolve, call me directly and stop bothering him.”
Tristan was speechless.
Undeniably, being pampered felt nice, as he immensely enjoyed that luxury.
Felix sized Tristan up.
“You’re sick, Mr. Tristan? What kind of illness have you contracted? Is it severe? Is your condition still treatable?” He looks fine to me.
Sophie’s eyes turned cold as she glared at Felix in silence.
“Mr. Northley, if you aren’t adept at conversing with others, I suggest you shut up. Do you know your manner of speech makes me upset?” she warned him.
Taking in her hostile demeanor, Felix immediately played nice. “That’s not what I meant. I’m just concerned about Mr. Tristan. He has always been healthy, and I haven’t heard him complaining about feeling ill lately, so I’m curious why he has suddenly fallen sick.”
“That’s right. Just shut up if you don’t know what to say.” Then, Tristan turned to face the middle-aged man. “And you. The company will compensate you with three months’ salary. You can stop coming to work starting tomorrow.”
Tristan thought the middle-aged man was too big-headed for someone with such subpar skills.
The middle-aged man didn’t expect Sophie to be so proficient. I can’t believe a young lady like her could accomplish something so many of us failed to resolve.
“Mr. Tristan, I was wrong. I see my mistakes now. I desperately need this job. Please don’t fire me!”
Tristan had made the decision. He had no desire to waste more of his time on that matter.
“Is there anything else?” he asked Felix.
“That’s all. You should go back and get some rest if you’re sick. Don’t worry, Sophie. I won’t bother you two anymore!” Felix gave her his words.
Having witnessed how she had hacked the intruder’s computer, Felix became a great admirer of her. This Sophie is extraordinary. I suppose her hacking skills are on par with Phantom’s.
He had thought Ysabelle was blindly idolizing Sophie, but at that moment, he genuinely had the urge to grovel at Sophie’s feet.
“Sophie, are you acquainted with Phantom?”
A random thought suddenly popped into Felix’s mind. We’ve failed to find out Phantom’s identity all this while. Since Sophie’s hacking skills are so advanced, could she be the legendary hacker, Phantom?
“Phantom? What’s that? Is that a kind of food?” Sophie gazed at him dubiously.
Felix could not help but laugh in response. What was I thinking? How could I have associated Sophie with my idol?
“All right, let’s go back. You need to rest earlier since you’re sick.” Sophie was utterly annoyed by Felix for taking up so much of their time.
“Okay. Goodbye, My Lord and My Lady,” Felix said jokingly. He was now in the mood to jest after the crisis was settled.
