?Chapter 1061:


    Without wasting time, she reached out to one of Erebus’s hackers and told them to crack the password.


    Nina sent the files to the hacker, and almost instantly, Ste had a location.


    She looked at William, her eyes bright. “We found them.” It was the same move Nina had used, and Ste could pull it off just as well.


    Nina just hadn’t expected Ste to turn her own trick against her.


    William stared at the map, several spots marked clearly, and shook his head. “When did you set this up?”


    “From the second I saw the USB waspromised,” Ste said, calm and collected. “Nina was too eager. At the forum, she stood out—the only reporter who didn’t lift a camera. I just went along with it.”


    Williamughed quietly. “Running a keynote while secretly watching every journalist? That’s… bold.”


    Ste shrugged. She had no choice. Too much had happenedtely, and multitasking had be her routine.


    The next morning, Nina was still asleep when the police found the hacker who had helped her decode the password the day before.


    It turned out he had been working for Erebus the whole time. Surrounded by officers, there was no way out.


    The police dug through hisputer and found a huge amount of evidence linking Erebus to their crimes.


    They couldn’t pin the main yers, but catching the hacker was enough to make Drake realize Ste wasn’t someone to underestimate.


    Nina woke up, turned on the TV, and froze at the news of the hacker’s arrest. Her coffee slipped from her hand, spilling across her leg.


    She realized immediately—she’d been tricked. Ste had done the same thing to her.


    Panicked, she tried calling Erebus, but the line was dead. She sank onto the sofa, wondering if Erebus had been affected too, or if they had just decided to cut her off after her mistake.


    Out of frustration, she ruffled her hair. Her morning was ruined.

    “Ste…”


    Her teeth clenched, her eyes burning. Everything she had carefully nned had been torn apart.


    Thirty minutester, Nina finally turned off the TV and sat quietly on the sofa, thinking.


    No matter what was going on with Erebus, she had to keep her n moving.


    If she could prove she was valuable, they would definitelye back to her.


    Ste was smart, but she wasn’t untouchable. Everyone had a weak spot.


    Nina thought carefully, listing the people who mattered to Ste: William, Sharon, and recently, a junior who seemed unusually close to her.


    A smirk appeared on Nina’s face as she started digging into Jeff.
