Chapter 240 Afraid You Would Be Worried

Sure enough, as soon as the virus infiltrated the computer, it was met with strong resistance from the system. In

less than a minute, the virus was completely eradicated by Hexagon

The computer expert stared at the scene unfolding before him, utterly stunned.

Even for someone highly skilled in computer technology, it would still take seffort to eliminate these

Two vinises.

Hexagon operated on a principle of forceful obliteration toward anything it rejected. Aside from information

authorized by the black market system pasword, it accepted virtually nothing.

He had no choice but to concede. He said with a hint of admiration, “Mr. Septimus, the software she installed

indeed proved its worth. What I just introduced was the tricky T38 Virus, a new threat that emerged a few days

ago. There's currently no solution available on the market, yet Hexagon managed to obliterate it directly. It's

clear that its defensive capabilities are top-notch!”

Septimus was surprised, but at the stime, he finally felt a bit relieved.

It seems she was telling the truth.

All she desires is to know the origin of that packet of drugs.

This is a profitable business.

“I've done my part. It’s your turn now,” Madelyn said with a smile..

When Septimus saw that she was a woman of her word, he didn’t beat around the bush. He said directly. “The

drug you gavehas been banned for a long tirue. Two years ago, we began enforcing strict prohibitions on

such drugs within the black market and those involved in circulating such goods faced severe punishment. But

it’s really hard forto be sure that there’s nothing Shady going on behind the scenes. If you truly want to

know the answer, could you givestto look into it?”

When he said these words, the sincerity in his expression was unparalleled.

Madelyn was slightly taken aback.

She had never imagined that the waters of the black market ran so deep. Even Septimus, a high-ranking. figure,

had no idea about the exact origin of these drugs.

It seemed the situation wasn’t as simple as it appeared.

Madelyn had no intention of troubling Septimus. Since he needed stime, she decided to grant him

that.

“I'll give you stto look into it, then. I'll cback in a couple of days to check on the progress,”

Madelyn said calmly, then turned around and left.

“Wau” Septimus suddenly exclaimed.

“Is there anything else?” Madelyn turned around to ask

Septimus courteously chuckled. “You cand go without a trace. | won't be able to find you even if |

“Oh?” Madelyn responded with a smile that was not que a smile. “It seems you're quite determined to get close

to me, aren't you?”

“Indeed.” Septimus said honestly.

He swiftly took a card from one of his subordinates stading next to him and handed it over to Madelyn.

“What is this?” At first, Madelyn thought it was a business card. But upon closer inspection, it wasn’t. This left

her somewhat puzzled.

Septimus replied, “I apologize for any offense earlier. hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. As a

gesture of sincerity, please accept this card. It grants you unrestricted access within our circles, and if you ever

face trouble in the black market, present it-no one will dare cross you. Our bodyguards will undoubtedly cto

your aid.”

Madelyn was flattered.

From her memories of her past life, there were only ten of these black cards in existence. They were incredibly

precious.

Septimus unexpected gift spoke volumes about his sincerity.

After much consideration, Madelyn finally made up her mind and agreed, “All right, my nis Madelyn

Thornton.”

Following that, she jotted down her contact information on a piece of paper.

Septimus observed her efficient actions and complimented her, “Ms. Thornton, you are the most straightforward

woman I've ever met.”

Madelyn responded with a knowing smile, then promptly turned and departed.

After they left the casino, Josiah was still somewhat anxious. He closely followed behind, questioning, “Kladelyn,

you just revealed your identity to Mr. Septimus. Is that really okay?”

“There's nothing not okay about it.” Madelyn shrugged indifferently. “Besides, based on my observations. these

past couple of days, Mr. Septimus seems to be a decent person to associate with. If he tries any tricks, | can

handle it. So, don't worry.”

Madelyn casually patted Josiah’s shoulder. “All right, it’s getting late. You should head back and rest. I'll be on my

way.”

“Okay, goodbye.”

Both of them returned to their respective homes

Madelyn was utterly exhausted today, her body aching all over. The moment she arrived at the Thornton

residence, the first thing she wanted to do was take a hot bath and hit the sack early.

Upon returning to the room, she discovered that Sebastian had cagain.

Madelyn felt a sudden chill run down her spine, her heartbeat escalating uncontrollably, showing no signs of

slowing down.

However, this time, Sebastian merely gave her a profond look, without uttering a single word.

Madelyn had no choice but to resort to yesterday’s method. She used the excuse of getting clothes from the

wardrobe for a bath, and then casually stulled the clothes she had disguised herself in into it.

When Madelyn was fully immersed in the bathtub, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn’t notice anything, did het

at

Ar that very moment, Sebastian's brows were furrowed together. As die loke the clothes that she had worn in the

wardrobe, an inexplicable irritation welled up in his chest.

What on earth is she up to? I'hy is she hiding everything? It is the secret that can’t be disclosed?

The next morning, Sebastian went to the office. Unable to contain his anger, he promptly summoned Harriet.

As soon as Harriet stepped into the office, she distinctly felt a wave of icy tension that sent chills down her spine.

Sebastian's face was expressionless, yet it was clear he was displeased. “I asked you to have someone secretly

follow Mrs. Lockhart. How did that go?”

“I...” Harriet stammered cautiously.

Sebastian shot her a cold, piercing look..

Harriet was instantly shaken with fear,

Immediately, she guessed that Sebastian must have already uncovered sclues. She dared not lie and

confessed everything right away.

“Sebastian, | didn’t tell you because | was afraid you'd be worried. Ms. Thomton has been going to the black

market these past few days.”

“Why didn’t you tell me!” Sebastian suddenly erupted in anger, his hand slamming down hard on the table.

In an unprecedented moment, Sebastian's anger erupted, directed squarely at Harriet. The intensity of his

emotions sent her heart racing.

But upon recalling the reason for his anger, Harriet couldn't help but be consumed by intense jealousy.
