Chapter 948

The surveillance footage had already been wiped clean. Vivian didn't hold out much hope.

After nearly a month, finding anything would be a miracle.

But Ethan's hacking skills were alarmingly proficient. Vivian arched an eyebrow. "You're quite skilled at this. A computer expert?"

"Passable," he replied casually.

Vivian narrowed her eyes. "Do you know King?"

Or was he King himself?

She suddenly remembered the last time she'd hacked into his company's system as payback. The breach had been patched suspiciously fast.

At the time, Ethan had even probed whether she was Queen.

Who else but King could have identified her so quickly?

Ethan remained expressionless. "Never heard of him."

"Stop lying. You're King."

Vivian's lips curled into a cold smile.

Her most hated rival—the one who kept breaching her firewalls—was standing right in front of her.

"Then answer me first," Ethan countered smoothly. "Are you Queen?"

Vivian hesitated.

Wasn't it obvious?

Mimicking his tone, she said, "No."

"Then neither am I," he replied with equal calm.

Vivian's smile turned sardonic.

With the trail long cold, Ethan closed his laptop. "If someone's targeting you, any suspicions? Judging by height alone, the person isn't short."

"None."

"Then let me share mine." Ethan's gaze sharpened. "It's either Dominic or Zero."

"Certain?" Vivian raised an eyebrow. "Got a grudge against them?"

"Just analysis." His voice remained steady. "Dominic operates openly. If he wanted you dead, he'd come straight at you. So..."

He paused meaningfully. "That leaves Zero."

"Zero never fights fair. Maintains a facade while stabbing you in the back."

Ethan gave her a pointed look. "Especially after you sent his apprentice to prison."

Vivian fell silent.

The enmity between her and Zero wasn't something she liked dwelling on.
