Chapter 301: Chapter 301

"If you mess up this task, it’s not a responsibility you new recruits can afford to bear!" Iris Churchill commanded the guards behind her arrogantly, "Hurry up and arrest her, that spy!"

As soon as Iris Churchill said this, Kian Keating and the others were shocked, but they quickly reacted and flatly denied it.

"Impossible, Instructor Everett cannot be a spy."

"That’s right, that’s right, we all believe Instructor Everett wouldn’t be a spy! You say Instructor Everett is a spy, do you have any evidence?"

The accusations made Iris Churchill so furious her liver hurt; what fools, she thought, wondering what kind of potion Serena Everett had fed them!

Serena Everett remained completely calm, lazily leaning against the wall, her long, straight legs casually bent.

"Yes, do you have evidence?"

Seeing Serena Everett’s indifferent arrogance, Iris Churchill couldn’t help but recall how last time, before everyone, Serena did the same, disregarding her, causing her to lose face.

Feeling resentful, Iris Churchill bit down hard, then confidently declared, "Of course I have evidence. The firewall you built last time is proof! The firewall you built wasn’t to help the military but to provide intelligence to foreign hacker groups, causing the military’s secrets to be stolen by them, and that’s enough to convict you!"

She had deliberately waited for Steven Everett to be away on a mission before stirring trouble; now, let’s see who could protect Serena Everett! ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel★fire.net

The fish had finally taken the bait...

Serena Everett smirked, "You say the firewall I built is flawed, then it’s flawed? I say it’s you who tampered with it and then slandered me!"

Just as Serena’s words fell, Iris Churchill’s face stiffened instantly, as if someone had hit a sore spot, nervously blinking her eyes.

"I request to go to the security center to prove my innocence."

Adjutant Coleman immediately nodded, speaking up. He naturally believed in Serena Everett, especially since she was the Major’s sister, and absolutely couldn’t be an enemy spy. But with the evidence in front of them, he had no way to speak for her.

Now, with an opportunity, he naturally would try everything to clear her name.

"No!" Iris Churchill immediately rejected, "Her hacking skills are far above ours. If she goes to the security center and messes with things again, what then?"

Serena Everett chuckled coldly, "You said my hacking skills are far superior; if I really were a spy, why would I make such low-level mistakes for you to discover?"

Iris Churchill was rendered speechless by her retort, her face unusually ugly.

"To the security center."

Serena Everett said and headed to the security center first, the others instinctively following. Her presence was such that it naturally commanded attention and obedience.

Kian Keating and his colleagues couldn’t enter the security center and could only wait anxiously outside.

With such a major incident of secrets being stolen by foreign hacker groups, the atmosphere in the security center was extremely serious.

"You see, it’s the firewall you built that had issues, causing the military’s secrets to be stolen by foreign hacker groups." Iris Churchill returned to her previous arrogance, "Serena Everett, now what do you have to say? I advise you to admit your guilt obediently!"

"Someone tampered with the firewall I built." Serena Everett glanced at the computer and said flatly.

"Hmph, do you have evidence?"

Iris Churchill looked at her smugly, confident that Serena couldn’t produce evidence.

Serena Everett laughed. Originally stunning, now with a smile, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Everyone present was momentarily entranced by her smile.

"Serena Everett, what are you laughing at?!" Iris Churchill felt an inexplicable sense of dread and barked sharply, "Stop bluffing!"

"When I built the firewall, I implanted a little something in the computer." Serena Everett spoke at a leisurely pace, "That little thing can monitor everything, and all actions by certain people have been recorded."

This was something she had developed earlier, not yet on the market, and apart from her and her team, almost no one knew about it, certainly not Iris Churchill.

As soon as Serena Everett finished speaking, Iris Churchill’s face changed instantly, but before she could react, Serena swiftly tapped her fingers on the keyboard, bringing up a video that started playing.

In the video, Iris Churchill sneakily entered the security center late at night, disabling the firewall Serena had built, allowing foreign hacker groups to steal various secrets.

The irrefutable evidence was displayed before Iris Churchill, leaving her incapable of denial, collapsing weakly to the ground.

It was over, everything was over!

The others in the security center were both shocked and disappointed and saddened; no wonder their attempts to repair and upgrade the system were always thwarted by attacks from foreign hacker groups, as she had been leaking information!

"Why did you do this? Don’t you realize how much damage you’re causing Celestia?"

With the truth revealed, Iris Churchill decided to confess.

"They promised me $50 million as a reward once successful. Working hard all my life in Celestia, I can’t earn that much money! But by leaking information to them, I could easily get it. How could I refuse?"

"You’ve become blinded by greed!"

The crowd’s gaze toward her carried deeper disappointment, yet Iris Churchill felt no remorse, shouting wildly.

"I’m not wrong; who doesn’t love money? If it were you, you’d surely refuse to!"

"Loving money isn’t wrong, but having no bounds is." Serena Everett regarded her coldly, enunciating clearly, "You don’t deserve to be Celestian."

It’s a ruthless but true statement.

Iris Churchill’s face turned ghostly pale, collapsing to the ground like a rag doll.

Adjutant Coleman looked at her coldly, "Detain her and wait for higher authorities to decide."

Guard: "Yes, Adjutant Coleman."

"It’s really unexpected that Iris Churchill turned out to be the spy; it’s our fault for discovering it late, or else the military’s secret files wouldn’t have been stolen by foreign hacker groups!"

Seeing their self-reproach, Serena Everett spoke softly, "Don’t blame yourselves; the secret files weren’t actually stolen by foreign hacker groups; it was just a small deception on my part, and what they took wasn’t the military’s secret files."

She’d long suspected Iris Churchill but lacked concrete evidence back then, hence devising this plan, waiting for Iris to walk into the trap herself.

The security center members were first shocked, then responded eagerly.

"Serena Everett, we really have to thank you this time, not only for catching the spy but also for saving the secret files. We’ll surely report to the higher authorities, and you’ll receive commendation!"
