Chapter 275
Hera insisted, “Take me to the office”
Sensing that he couldn’t dissuade her, Douglas reluctantly agreed. He quickly informed the driver of Shuttle Ventures address and promptly texted Bernard.
Her sat in the back seat and observed his actions. Her gaze turned increasingly icy.

In the CEO’s office at XS Corporation, Bernard sat behind his desk, staring at the article Samson had sent him.
The headline read, “International Police Offers 100 Thousand Dollars Bounty Reward for Wanted Hacker ‘Raven“.”
Bemard hadn’t logged onto Cyber Web in a while, only to find major news upon his return…
He was surprised as he was the one who had hacked into the satellite.
He scrolled through the article. His mouse paused mid–scroll when he saw Raven’s logo embedded in the middle of the content.
The logo looked familiar. The person who had hacked into his computer last time also had this icon in their code.
Bernard narrowed his eyes. He wondered if there could be such a coincidence.
The Gaskell family’s previous uproar with Haven made headlines in Norburgh, and then Raven attempted to back his computer. After that, Raven hacked into UTA–224 before him. He considered if his actions were secretly aiding the Gaskells.
He quickly messaged Samson.
“Look into Raven’s background.”
“Bernard, the meeting is about to start,” Theo reminded him as he entered the room
Bernard acknowledged with a grunt. He closed the article tab and cleared his browsing history before getting up.
In the conference room, five top executives were already waiting
The atmosphere was solemn as each person took turns reporting on the annual financial summary and their plans for the next year.
“This year’s total profitis-”
Suddenly, several notification sounds interrupted the meeting.
Theo’s expression turned serious as he glanced around at everyone.
“Whose phone isn’t on silent?
Phones should be silenced during meetings. Failure to follow this basic etiquette makes one unfit to attend this top–level meeting. After the five executives nervously checked their own phones, they exchanged glances. Finally, all eyes turned to Bernard.
Bernard calmly picked up his phone from the desk. He abruptly stood up when he saw Douglas‘ text.
*Put the meeting on hold,” be announced before heading for the door,
Theo was rendered speechless. He hurriedly followed after Bernard
“Bernard, what happened?
“Hera is going to Shuttle to see me.”
The couldn’t believe his ears,
“Just to see you?”
“Yeah,” Bernard confirmed
Hera had never been this proactive about seeking him out before. He needed to get back quickly
Thro’s face was filled with mixed feelings as he pressed the button to open the CEO’s private elevator doors for Bernard.
He wondered if Bernard had forgotten his tough CEO persona and how the latter could abandon such an important meeting simply because Hera wanted to see hun “Haven’t you told Ms. Youngworth about your current identity?” Theo asked.
Wide Bernard kept his identity hidden from the public, a few trusted and close individuals were aware of it.
