Chapter 170 First Contact


    <i>What </i>had we <i>done </i><i>to </i><i>her</i>?


    <i>Nothing </i><i>but </i><i>humiliate</i><i>, </i><i>hurt</i>, <i>and </i><i>ignore </i><i>her</i><i>. </i>


    Tilda would never forgive them. Doing nothing to them was her being kind.


    With Tilda’s skills, taking revenge and destroying thempletely would be easy.


    <i>Tilda</i><i>. </i><i>We </i><i>regret </i>it now.


    <i>Now </i><i>they </i><i>want </i>to <i>make </i><i>things </i><i>right</i>.


    <i>But </i>is it too <ite </i><i>to </i><i>fix </i><i>everything</i>?

    Tilda had no idea how much Dominic and Wade had changed their minds about her.


    Even if she knew, she would’ve just found it ridiculous.


    Obviously, those two had a hidden agenda, something malicious even.


    Even if they were putting on an act, sympathizing, or truly regretting their behavior, Tilda wouldn’t forgive them.


    The moment they made their choices, the ship had sailed. It was toote now.


    In her previous life, she was mistreated for five whole years. They let her burn alive in the fire. She had suffered a fate worse than death.


    Being fooled once was enough for Tilda.


    She would never make another dumb mistake<i>. </i>


    When Tilda got back to her ce, a message from Andy popped up.


    “Tilda, they said they’ll be arriving in Slosa in five days. Do you want their contact info? You can choose the time and ce to meet.”


    “Alright, send it to me, Andy.”


    At first, Tilda wasn’t sure if she wanted to meet with the representative from the research group.


    But now, if she wanted to see Dane and make sure it was really him, she had to take the first step.


    <b>As </b>soon as Andy sent her the contact, Tilda added the person right away.


    His profile picture was the country’s g. The username was HareAffair!


    <b><i>Yeah</i></b>, <i>definitely </i>a <i>full</i><i>–</i><i>on </i>patriot.

    HareAffair asked, “Are you Queen?”


    Finished


    Tilda replied, “Just call me Tilda. I added you on WhatsApp; I’m not trying to hide my identity.”


    Hare Affair replied, “Wow, I never thought I’d get to work with you! Honestly, I’m so excited. I’m a fan. I saw you take down that foreign country firewall all by yourself on the dark web. That’s freaking cool! Oh, by the way, I’m Kaleb Burn.”


    Tilda wrote, “Hi, Kaleb. The real reason I reached out is that I’m interested in Dane. If I join and help out, does that mean I can meet Dane?”


    Kaleb paused when he saw her message.


    Kaleb asked, “Well, I’ll have to report that. Why are you interested in Professor Kerrigan? Do you know him?”


    Tilda exined, “He could be someone I’ve been searching for. Someone really important to me. But I have <i>to </i>meet him to be sure.”


    Kaleb typed, “I can’t decide that by myself. I’ll have to ask the higher–ups.


    Tilda agreed, “No problem. I heard you’ll be in Slosa in five days. I’ll arrange a ce for us to meet


    Kaleb wrote, Great. Don’t be upset if there’s a dy. I’m looking forward to meeting you, Queen.”


    After their chat ended, Tilda narrowed her eyes.


    Meeting Dane wouldn’t be that easy. She had expected as much.


    Even though she’d helped their organization many times, Tilda was still just a hacker from the dark web.


    Her true identity was a mystery. They never met her in person.


    Of course, there was no way Tilda would be allowed to meet this country’s most closely guarded researcher right away.


    She’d have to work with them, prove herself, and earn their trust.


    A few days passed in a sh.


    Finally, Kaleb arrived safely in Slosa.


    He followed the address Tilda sent him. Kaleb ended up at Sky Dining.


    Tilda was a VIP at Sky Dining. Alfie himself had made special arrangements; whenever she came to eat, she always received the very best service<b>. </b>


    The staff weed Kaleb with great respect and led him straight to Tilda’s table.


    Kaleb looked a bit nervous. His eyes were darting everywhere, like it was his first time in such a fancy ce. He was <b>a </b>man just <b>over </b>30, but you could tell he felt out of ce. Tilda smiled, stood up, and reached out her hand to greet him.


    <b>Hi </b>Kaleb I’m <b>Tilda</b><b>. </b>

    “H–hello, Queen,” Kaleb stammered.

    Meeting his idol for the first time–and finding out she was so young and pretty–made Kaleb even more


    nervous<b>. </b>


    Kaleb struggled with words. <fnc74a> This update is avable on ?ovelFind</fnc74a>


    His hands trembled as he shook Tilda’s, and only then did he manage to sit down.


    Scanning the high–end decor around them, Kaleb asked quietly, “I–Isn’t this ce super expensive?”


    Tilda raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Mr. Burn, you’ve never been to a restaurant like this before?”


    This research group was extremely important for Cethend.


    As their liaison, Kaleb should have had plenty of experience with upscale business dinners.


    Kaleb shook his head, a little embarrassed. “No, honestly, I’m just a government worker. I’m not as wealthy as you probably imagine, Queen. Most of the time, our group is buried in research. This is the first time I’ve ever been to a ce this nice.”


    Kaleb had a strong urge to hide his face,


    <b>It’s </b>so <i>embarrassing </i><i>to </i><i>meet </i>my idol like <i>this</i><i>! </i>


    <i>Sob</i><i>, </i><i>sob</i><i>, </i>sob. <i>Help</i><i>! </i>


    “I see.”


    Tilda understood and kindly didn’t ask any more questions.
