Chapter 94: XZ Project Group

Emma had absolutely no time to pay attention to these messages. Before she even knew it, she had successfully been registered.

An hour later, Cecilia saw Emma still playing on her phone without resting and gave her a final ultimatum.

"1... 2..."

Emma realized the seriousness of her situation at the moment, quickly saying to Thomas, [Grandpa, I’m done playing for today. I have school tomorrow.]

Thomas replied with [Alright] before logging out of the game.

He lay on the bed, feeling much more spirited than before he started playing the chess game.

Even the falling leaves outside the window seemed less desolate.

He couldn’t help but fantasize that if he could keep playing chess with Emma and hear her call him "Grandpa," he might be able to live a little longer.

On the other side, Emma climbed into bed and quickly dozed off. Watching her sleep, Cecilia smiled.

It seemed that Emma had already adapted to life here, which was a good thing.

Thinking of this, she gently kissed Emma’s forehead.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed with a new message.

It was from a contact named "XZ Project Group."

[Upon checking, your Arleston brooch has been verified. Please click the link to join the meeting.]

Cecilia pondered for a moment before standing up, heading to the study to join the meeting.

She had received the founder’s brooch from Arleston, and it was a mystery why she had it.

She only remembered receiving a mysterious package that had this brooch while she was living abroad. Upon investigating, she discovered its purpose.

She didn’t know why the founder would send her this brooch; she only knew she had received it under her other name, Rainy.

But now it seemed like the brooch had indeed been of good help to her, so she decided to enter the meeting to see who the founder really was.

Upon joining the meeting, there were eight people in total. Unfortunately, none of them had their cameras on, and even their voices were altered using voice changers.

Each person used a letter in place of their identity.

The leading founder was C. Cecilia thought for a bit before changing her nickname to R.

Nobody knew each other’s identity here.

T was the first to say, "Oh, a newcomer. Could you introduce yourself?"

Cecilia frowned; she disliked revealing her identity directly to strangers.

There was a long silence.

D, unable to stand the tension, quickly intervened to lighten the mood. "The newcomer is probably feeling a bit shy, but they will open up after a few more chats~ Let’s get started!"

Their tones suddenly grew serious, and they had a precise discussion about the markets and developmental trends across various international industries.

Cecilia realized that this so-called "XZ Project Group" was composed of individuals with the brooch, hailing from leading industries and countries. The founder had used this method to gather information across nations and fields.

Having all of this information basically also meant having a super sensitive business intuition.

One had to admit—the founder was indeed clever.

An hour later, the meeting came to a conclusion.

C, who had not spoken much, finished up the day’s discussion.

"Today’s meeting is over. Any questions can be discussed in the next meeting. Hmm... That’s all."

Hearing this somewhat familiar tone, Cecilia was taken aback. As everyone else gradually left the meeting, only she and C remained.

C asked, "R, do you have anything else?"

She snapped out of her thoughts and regained her composure.

"No."

With that, she left the meeting.

On the other end, Steven was also surprised when he heard the cold reply from R.

This indifferent and aloof tone reminded him of Cecilia.

‘Could it be... her?’

The next morning, Emma and Alex met at school before swapping clothes in the resting room.

It was only during their chats that they discovered they were attending the same school.

However, they hadn’t seen each other because Alex was in the elite class.

After changing clothes, Alex went to the class Emma was in.

He repeatedly adjusted his skirt’s placement, feeling a bit out of place since it had been a while since he last swapped identities with her.

All of a sudden, Kenny stood in his way.

He looked at Alex, who was posing as Emma, with a smug face.

"Emma, Larry has agreed to cover for me again. Just wait for him to come and beat you up!"
