FakeNovelChapter 433:
Karl's fingers flew across the keyboard, but the program was stubborn and unyielding. Despite his efforts over
the past 20 minutes, he had made no progress.
Iker, growing impatient, checked the tand remarked, “Are you done? It's been half an hour.”
Karl replied with determination, “I'll try again.”
The stakes were high. If he couldn't neutralize the hacker's malicious program, lker’s computer would be
rendered useless. Realizing the significance of the computer to Iker, Karl felt a wave of anxiety. His job was on
the line.
Iker had a history of dismissing employees who did not meet his expectations. Karl's tenure at Wilson Manor had
been long, thanks to his skills. However, if he failed now, he knew he could be fired in no time.
Norah had shifted positions several times and checked the feed from other cameras.

When she checked on Hank, she found his room dark and heard nothing but his loud, drunken snores.
Moving the camera to Larry and Elsa’s room, Norah was surprised. A man lay unconscious on the bed, while a
woman tended to him with a wet towel under the dim yellow light.
The man was Larry, yet the woman was Hadley. Hadley looked concerned as she dabbed at Larry’s sweaty
forehead with a cool, wet cloth.

Norah couldn't help but smile slightly. Larry and Hadley together was an unexpected twist.
At the lunch table today, the two didn’t exchange any glances. Norah had no clue about any affair between
them. Was Hadley not concerned about the possibility of Elsa or Hank discovering her when she boldly entered
Larry’s bedroom?
Norah watched them, her surprise clearly evident.
The screen switched back to Iker’s room, where Karl was still at the computer, desperately searching for a
loophole. Unfortunately, he found none.
Iker’s expression was grim.
“If you can’t work it out...”
“It’s done!” Karl suddenly exclaimed with excitement, interrupting Iker.
Iker was momentarily speechless. Checking the ton the computer, Norah realized the moment had come.
“Good job, Karl!” Iker called out, patting Karl on the shoulder with enthusiasm. “I knew you could fix it.”
Karl opened his mouth, about to confess that the computer had resolved itself before he did anything, but he
hesitated and chose to remain silent. Instead, he boasted, “The hacker was just a minor annoyance. They
thought they could mess with me. If they try again, they'll regret it!”
Karl, swelling with pride, seemed to forget the earlier struggles he had faced.

Norah watched with a sneer, thinking how Karl, like his boss, seized every opportunity to claim credit where it
wasn't due.
However, that wasn’t the only surprise she had prepared. Karl inspected the computer thoroughly, confirming
that the software, hardware, and network were all functioning properly.
“The camera is broken. There is no video footage,” he announced, careful not to pry into other files. After
completing his checks, he stood up.
“Mr. Wilson, the computer is operational. I'll arrange for the camera to be replaced tomorrow.”
Iker leaned back, dismissing Karl with a wave of his hand. The broken camera was the least of his concerns. After
all, no one could access his office without a key.
He then opened a file sent by a subordinate and began to read intently.
But two numbers appeared on the screen. Puzzled, he even questioned whether he was seeing things due to his
hangover.
