Chapter 311
The caption made a bold claim: This dress is designed by Jane, a famous designer, and this is the only one in the world. Plus, Jane has never sold this dress. That’s why Pearl must be wearing a fake item!
Pearl clicked her tongue, wondering why someone had such detailed information about her dress.
Blake, feeling guilty for pushing her to buy the dress, offered, “Pearl, you bought that dress. with me. Should I clarify the situation on your behalf?”
Pearl shook her head. “Explaining won’t help. They might even twist the story further, and it could ruin your reputation as well.”
Blake frowned. “Who do you think is behind this?”
“It seems like I’m their target, but their real aim is the Jordan family. They started targeting me the moment they heard about me. Do you think it could be those two young women who were jealous of me?” Pearl analyzed the situation calmly, unwilling to accuse anyone without evidence.
Blake was struck by her insight. “You might be right!”
“I suspect it’s them who initiated the rumors, and the Jordans’ enemies seized this opportunity to target us, making the rumor spread like wildfire,” Pearl explained.
“I’ll inform Grandfather and ask him to find the culprits,” Blake decided, his eyes filled with
determination.
“That’s not necessary because it’s quite easy to identify the culprits,” Pearl stopped him.
Blake was bewildered. “How?” He couldn’t fathom how Pearl intended to pinpoint the culprits, considering the vast and covert nature of online activities.
Pearl retrieved her laptop from her bag and began typing on it. She managed to hack into Bodgow’s information network with ease.
“What…” Blake watched her in astonishment. He couldn’t comprehend the intricate coding she was manipulating.
Pearl efficiently hacked into the information network, locating detailed personal information behind those accounts that had posted defamatory posts. Reading those IP addresses and personal information, she couldn’t help but express her disappointment, “They’re so lousy. Are these people even trying?”
Staring at her, Blake was at a loss for words. While he didn’t understand the technical aspects, he grasped the essence of her actions. “You’re…” He eventually found his voice, a mixture of awe and curiosity, “…a hacker?”
Pearl grinned. “Be confident in your guess. Yes, I’m a hacker.”
Blake was left speechless, struck by her incredible talents. First, she revealed her skill as a wine taster, and now she was demonstrating her hacking prowess. She far surpassed the abilities of most ordinary people and had achieved levels that took others a lifetime to reach. If she weren’t his cousin, he believed he would be charmed by her.
Deciding not to disturb her, he resumed scrolling through his social media. He couldn’t help but feel increasingly irritated by the growing negative comments about Pearl online, muttering, “Why didn’t I find these people so annoying before?”
Pearl continued working on her laptop, her focus on the screen. Frustration began to creep as she couldn’t identify the person responsible for spreading the rumors.
“Alright, I guessed correctly. These people recently conducted financial transactions with both the Quinlevans and Shaws. I’m sure they’re involved in plotting against me,” Pearl concluded.
However, her frustration grew as she continued to search for the culprit. She questioned
in
herself, “But why can’t I find the person who’s spreading these rumors? Could my instincts be wrong?”
