Chapter 293: Chapter 293

So strong, unbelievably strong.

Everyone present fixed their admiring gazes on Serena, feeling ashamed for having doubted her earlier.

The expression on Iris Churchill’s face turned even uglier, as if she had been slapped hard across the face by an invisible hand, leaving it burning.

How can this woman’s hacking skills be so formidable?

Serena’s reaction to the changed attitudes of those around her was calm, showing no signs of pride or smugness; she simply continued to focus on fixing the bugs in the system.

But soon Serena noticed something amiss, as if someone had deliberately tampered with it...

Tsk... No wonder the military invited so many hackers before, none of them could do anything about the foreign hacker teams. Thɪs chapter is updated by novelFɪre.net

Serena’s pale fingers rapidly tapped the keyboard, casting a cryptic glance at Iris Churchill, her eyes filled with a chilling coldness.

Just one look made Iris Churchill’s body tremble uncontrollably, her heart filled with a powerful dread.

Could it be that she’s discovered something?

As this thought crossed her mind, Iris Churchill quickly dismissed it in her heart.

Impossible... Absolutely impossible! She did it so discreetly, no one would ever find out...

By the time Iris Churchill managed to calm herself, Serena had already withdrawn her gaze and risen from her seat.

"I’ve just established a new firewall, from now on those foreign hacker teams won’t dare to attack again."

"That’s wonderful, wonderful!"

Upon hearing these words, everyone present couldn’t help but cheer, their gazes toward Serena showing even more respect.

"Miss Serena, we are truly grateful to you!"

Iris Churchill kept staring at Serena, relaxingly realizing she hadn’t noticed anything, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

She knew there was no way she could know anything! The way she managed it was so discreet! Ha, her ability to fend off the foreign hacker teams today was just sheer luck!

Just wait and see, today’s humiliation, she’ll repay entirely!

Steven Everett personally escorted Serena back to her dormitory, reluctantly ruffling the girl’s hair with a doting tone, "Serena, make sure you rest well. Tomorrow, your second brother will take you to tour the military base."

The foreign hacker teams could break through the last line of defense at any time, stealing military secrets, a concern weighing heavily on everyone’s minds. And now, their dear sister has resolved it single-handedly, filling him with immeasurable pride!

Serena nodded obediently, "Okay, second brother, you should rest early too."

"Alright, your second brother listens to everything you say!"

Hearing the concern from his beloved sister, Steven Everett felt an incredible sense of comfort, unlike those other boys who only irritated him all day!

The military had arranged a single room for Serena; though not large, it was complete with all necessary amenities.

Serena took out her phone to assure the man of her safety—if the people from The Netherworld Syndicate knew about this, they’d be utterly shocked.

The Alliance Hierarch has never been in the habit of reporting to anyone, when has she ever assured anyone of her safety!

As soon as Serena’s message was sent, she received a video call from the man.

Serena’s lips curled unconsciously as she connected the video call.

The man’s deep, magnetic voice across the screen was even more enticing.

Serena felt a tingling sensation pass through her heart, softening her response.

Seeing his little aunt act so obediently, Damian Quinn’s eyes softened a bit more, noticing the fatigue around the little girl’s eyes, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.

"Is everything handled?"

"Not yet." Serena shook her head slightly, her exquisite porcelain-white face cooling a bit, "Someone’s causing trouble, but with me here, she won’t be able to stir up any major waves."

The girl’s tone was casual, yet emanated an unparalleled confidence.

Damian Quinn chuckled indulgently, his deep magnetic voice dangerously charming, "My baby sure is amazing."

Serena, praised and smiling, but the day’s events had drained her energy immensely, leaving her exhausted, and she unknowingly fell asleep while talking to Damian Quinn.

Damian Quinn didn’t make a sound to wake her up, tenderly staring at the breathtaking sleeping face on the screen, unwilling to move his gaze away.

He wished he could rush over there now, to be beside his little girl...

Old Mrs. Quinn didn’t like making a big fuss for her birthday, so the celebration wasn’t grand; she just invited close friends to gather at the old residence.

Naturally, Ivan Everett and Jocelyn Sterling were invited since they hoped Serena would marry into the Quinn Family, requiring their agreement!

"Grandma, Serena had other matters and couldn’t be in Imperia to spend your birthday with you. She specially asked me to pass on the birthday gift she carefully prepared for you."

Damian Quinn, donned in a black suit, adding to his cold and dignified demeanor, making people more reluctant to approach easily.

"Oh my, Serena is so thoughtful!"

Although Old Mrs. Quinn was disappointed Serena couldn’t spend her birthday with her, receiving the carefully prepared gift made her happy, her smile widening uncontrollably.

"Why didn’t you accompany Serena when she left Imperia!"

Damian Quinn lazily curled his thin lips, replying unhurriedly, "After celebrating your birthday, I will go find my little one."

"Oh dear! Look at how clingy you are!"

Old Mrs. Quinn unexpectedly received a dose of romance, playfully chiding him, yet feeling more happiness within.

Their good relationship is the best gift for her!

"Go on then, go! I’m tired of seeing you every year on my birthday. Get out there and look after Serena properly!" Old Mrs. Quinn pretended to dislike him, teasingly, "After all, Serena is so outstanding and attractive; lots of people are fond of her. Damian, you’re getting old; how can you compare with those young lads outside!"

With every word from Old Mrs. Quinn, Damian Quinn’s face darkened a bit more, helplessly calling out softly.

Watching Damian Quinn’s handsome face turn darker, Old Mrs. Quinn suppressed her laughter, "Alright, alright, Grandma won’t say anymore! Go on then, hurry and go find Serena!"

Damian Quinn spoke leisurely, "Grandma, no, if Serena finds out I didn’t stay till the end of your birthday, she’d be upset."

Look at his loyal demeanor!

Old Mrs. Quinn laughed and shook her head, barely recognizing him as her previously dominant grandson!

"Today’s my birthday, and I say you’ve celebrated it enough when I say so! Serena’s alone outside, and I can’t rest easy; hurry and go keep her company!"

Old Mrs. Quinn used her obstinence to successfully drive Damian Quinn away.

Crystal Joyce had just alighted from the car when she saw a black Rolls-Royce drive away from the old residence; she instantly recognized it as Damian Quinn’s car.

"How come Damian just arrived and he’s leaving already..."
