?Chapter 744:


    Denis grew more restless. “Why hasn’t anything changed yet? Can you really handle this? Or were those so-calledpany cases just inted PR?” Rather than dignify him with a reply, Brenna stayed focused on the screen.


    Meanwhile, Isabe lost her patience and nudged Brenna. “Can you at least say something? Do you even know what you’re doing? In case you’ve forgotten, no results mean no payment.”


    Sitting a bit further back, Jordy kept a cooler head. Unlike Denis, he hadn’t poured his entire investment into this one gamble; he didn’t have much to lose if Brenna failed.


    “No need to panic yet,” Jordy said, stretching an arm to hold Denis and Isabe in ce. “Let’s just wait. We haven’t paid her anything anyway.”


    Still fuming, Denis let out a snort. “If she can’t do it, whye here at all?”


    Jordy said, “Look, I did a bit of digging. Her past clients swear by her. If she can’t break it, we don’t have to pay her.”


    With frustration simmering, Denis shot a re at Brenna. “She’s wasting my time.”


    Impatience creeping into her voice, Isabe snapped, “Brenna, how long is this going to take? I’m not seeing anything that proves you’re better than the other hackers we’ve hired. We’ve hired experts before, some of the best in the world, and none of them could break this thing. It seems you’re no different.”


    To gain Brenna’s approval, Jordy vouched for her skills. He then pulled Denis and Isabe to sit down, offering Denis a cigarette, and the group started chatting.


    Still, Denis kept ncing at the screen every few minutes. After a while, Isabe went to stand behind Brenna, watching closely.


    After over twenty minutes, Isabe let out a gleeful cry. “It’s unlocked!” Jordy and Denis hurried over, eyes wide, fixated on the now-essible Ward Group financial portal glowing on the monitor, their faces lighting up with grins.


    “Impressive. You actually cracked it,” Denis said to Brenna, scanning the homepage’s options, itching to uncover the Ward Group’s wealth.


    “Click that one! I want to see their total funds!” Denis urged, pointing at the wealth summary tab. He grabbed the mouse himself, clicking the button, but the page that loaded disyed only asterisks, obscuring the figures.

    Brenna’s fingers flew across the keyboard with striking precision as she typed lines of code. She shot Denis a look. “I’ve only broken through the first securityyer. essing the actual funds requires cracking several more barriers. It’s not that simple.”


    Denis nodded. “I get it; the experts I hired before warned me it would be tough. But you’re already leagues ahead of them. They couldn’t even reach the homepage.”


    Isabe rolled her eyes, scoffing. “What good is this anyway? We still can’t touch the money. Brenna, hurry up. You’re not dying on purpose, right?”


    Jordy tugged Isabe aside. “Let her work. Don’t distract her.”


    Another thirty minutes passed before Brenna stopped, calmly turning off her ownptop. “It’s done. The new password is six sixes. You can take it from here.”


    Denis and Isabe could barely contain their excitement, broad smiles spreading across their faces. Isabe, especially, was ecstatic, already imagining a life of luxury with billions secured.
