Husband plans to kill me Chapter 335

After wrapping up my call with Royce, I finally took a shower and hit the sack. Lying there, I couldn't help but mull over everything that had gone down over the past few days.

I often wondered why my life always seemed to be one problem after another, never-ending.

But when I thought about it, were these issues really that tough for me to handle?

If I just took a step back and tackled them one at a time, they didn't seem entirely unsolvable. Maybe I had just been overcomplicating things...

Besides, I had so many people who cared about me—friends and Royce—they could all help me.

With these thoughts, I slowly drifted off to sleep.

I slept well that night, and when I woke up the next morning, I stretched and felt a rare sense of peace.

Forget about the drama with Renee, Brandon, and the rest...

Even if they still had plans against us, they were hit hard before. They needed time to recover.

As long as my friends and I prepared well, we could handle whatever came our way.

Feeling more relaxed, I called Asher and asked him to report the information we had gathered to the police.

Asher quickly relayed everything to the authorities.

NexGen Innovations, the small company, was officially taken to court by us.

The charges were unfair business practices and stealing company secrets.

Since it involved two companies and multiple parties, Asher and I were called to the police station to give statements.

We shared all our observations and findings from the past few days with the police.

The investigation results were predictable; with solid evidence, the police advised us to proceed with the lawsuit.

Our lawyer, Travis, would represent us.

The court date was set for three days later.

Everything was moving efficiently, and the matter was being resolved steadily.

But the next day, when Asher and I met to discuss our next steps, we discovered something strange.

Overnight, when we tried to find information about NexGen Innovations online, Alfonso's name was nowhere to be found!

Previously, we could see Alfonso's investment and connection to NexGen Innovations...

But now, it was like everything had vanished.

Alfonso and NexGen Innovations were completely separated, with no trace of any link between them.

I knew this was serious and quickly told Royce about it.

Asher helped me investigate, and that afternoon, I met the legendary hacker everyone talked about.

To my surprise, he was really young, probably around seventeen or eighteen.

I cautiously asked Asher, "Asher, is he even an adult?"

If he was not, wasn't it against the rules to have him working?

Asher laughed at my question, "He just turned eighteen."

"You guys..."

"But I knew him before he was an adult. He had his eighteenth birthday a few days ago, and we signed a contract for him to work for me."

Asher seemed proud, "He doesn't want to go to school. He's too focused on computers and tech. Anyway, I need someone with his skills, so it works out perfectly."

I was amazed. "But he's so young. What about his guardians? Would his parents agree to this?"

Asher waved his hand dismissively. "Don't worry about that. Our work is progressing smoothly thanks to him."

I learned that his name was Harold Rogers. He struggled academically, so he didn't go to school and stayed home working on hacking. But he was honest and never used his skills for anything bad.

No wonder Simon said he had even registered Harold before.

Asher said, "Harold may be young, but he's really talented! And he's great at what he does, so don't worry."

We brought Harold over to investigate Alfonso's situation. Logically, Alfonso's previous connection to NexGen Innovations shouldn't disappear overnight. The online information must have been tampered with, and it was Harold's job to uncover it.

Harold was very cooperative and quickly pulled up a string of data for us.

Seeing the data, I was amazed. "Is this what a hacker can do?"

In less than five minutes, he had found all the information.

Harold smiled. "Ms. Sharp, Mr. Wheeler told me you're a partner in our company. I had to show you my skills!"

I couldn't help but laugh. "I believe it now. Asher does have an eye for talent."

We reviewed the information. Harold indeed found the connection between Alfonso and NexGen Innovations, but the data showed they were no longer linked. It seemed Alfonso had withdrawn his investment and was no longer collaborating with NexGen Innovations. This meant our lawsuit against NexGen Innovations wouldn't affect Alfonso.

"They must have planned this... Maybe Alfonso will claim he was just supporting a small company. With his influence, he could easily shift the blame and clear his name."

I shared my thoughts, and Asher agreed. "I think so too. Alfonso is a real piece of work, always scheming."

I thought to myself, 'You don't even know the half of it with Celestia. Alfonso is definitely not a good person.'

I said, "Regardless, we need to proceed with the lawsuit. Even if it doesn't implicate Alfonso, it'll make him think twice before trying something like this again."

Asher nodded. "I heard his competing project has been paused, probably worried about getting caught up in this."

One NexGen Innovations incident should be enough to teach them a lesson. If they didn't change, who knew what would happen next?

I sighed. "Alright, let's focus on the lawsuit for now and leave the rest."

Let Alfonso escape for now. But this situation made me realize Alfonso must have some powerful connections. To clean things up so quickly, it couldn't have been just him.

Asher said, "By the way, Caroline, now that you know Harold, you can ask him directly if you need to investigate anything."

I added Harold on WhatsApp, ready to ask for his help in the future.
