So she really had been locked up? One bedroom and one bathroom? That was basically a cage.
Tess‘ chest rose and fell with anger.
Max actually did that to someone?
“I recorded everything.”
Lyra raised her hand. Between her fingers was a tiny recording device.
Tess nced at it, then gave her a sincere nod. “Thanks.
“You’ve always been airtight with your work. I trust you.”
She pressed her lips together. But her eyes had gone sharp, razor–sharp. In that moment, her re turned into a de. If she could, she would’ve sliced Max apart piece by piece.
“Keep that recording safe. I’ve got something else too.”
Tess held out her hand. In her palm was a crumpled wad of paper, smashed soft from being clenched too long.
“What’s this?”
Lyra hesitated. Tess started unfolding it as she exined. “Rachel slipped it to me during the conversation.”
The note finally opened up.
“Ms. Tess, there’s proof in Max’s office. He stole confidential files from the Lock Group! I’m in the hidden room in his office!”
Thest sentence lined up exactly with what Lyra and Raven had just found out.
But it was the beginning that got their attention.
Even Lyra, who usually stayed calm, couldn’t hide her excitement. “That’s perfect! After all the crap you dealt with in Kingnd from those rumors, this is the evidence that can finally shut them all down!”
“And now that we have this, Max’s time is up. He’s gonna pay for everything he put me through.”

Tess looked up. Her voice dripped with contempt, cool and graceful.
Raven shivered. She rubbed her arms.

“Now that we know this, what’s the move? That hidden room is inside Max’s office. Getting in won’t be easy.”
Lyra got right to the point.
Tess frowned. That was exactly what she’d been turning over in her head.
“Did you forget who I am? I’m a hacker. Crashing Hunt Group’s power system is nothing for me. Once I take it down, you two slip into the office and get both Rachel and the evidence out.”
Raven lit up instantly.
But before she could get carried away, Lyra grabbed her by the shoulder and pushed her back into her seat.
“Even if you hack the system, how are we getting inside? If it’s a hidden room, it’s probably locked tight. And sure, you can ck out the building for a bit, but can you keep it down for a whole hour? What if they fix it too soon? We won’t even make it inside before we’re caught.”
Her voice was heavy. And after she finished, all three of them fell quiet, lost in thought.
“Actually … an hour is doable.”
Compared to the other two, Raven looked rxed. She scratched her head and grinned.
That line made Lyra’s head snap up. She stared right at her. “What did you just say?”
“I said it’s doable! Didn’t I tell you I’m top–tier?” Raven was still goofing off, but her words froze both their eyes on her.
She scratched the back of her head, a little embarrassed. “I hacked the top tower in Kingnd once. Took them half a day to recover.”
She let out a cheekyugh. “They only got the power back on because myptop died.”
Tess couldn’t hide the shock in her eyes. She grabbed Raven’s arm. “You can really do it? I need you to hit Hunt Group’s power system. Just give me thirty minutes. But you have to make sure none of the real–time surveince works.”

“If you’re nning a move, leaving the cams off will definitely raise red gs. I can run a loop instead. Find some old footage, patch it in, and keep it rolling. That way it’ll still look active. Even if they notice the hack, it’ll take them a while to catch on.”
Raven rubbed her chin, thinking out loud.
Tess’s eyes
lit up. and pull Rachel out. Lyra, you back us up. Raven, you slip into their control room and run the feed.”
She snapped her fingers. “Perfect. That’s the n. I’ll break into Hunt Group
The roles were set. None of them hesitated now.
They were all in. On the way back, even the ride felt lighter.
At Evermount Heights…
Tess pulled into the driveway. But through the window, she caught a glimpse of a tall figure outside the house.
Who was that? Didn’t she tell Bessie not to let anyone in?
Her guard flew up. She mmed the car door open.
Steven stood there holding the baby, while Bessie sat beside him, shaking a rattle at La.
“Huh?”
Steven’s voice was soft and warm, like a breeze cutting through a quiet forest.
Tess froze with a hint of awkwardness. “What are you doing here? I thought once everything was handled, you were heading back overseas.”
