The Fake Heiress Turns out to Be a True Tycoon! -
Chapter 450: Hello, I am here.
Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Hello, I am here.
On the other side, as the mastermind and the person involved in tonight’s incident.
Lewis Harper and Dexter Bolt were kneeling in front of a phone with a shattered screen, almost in despair.
Just now, they had originally been waiting to see Scarlett Jennings’ next move, but they didn’t expect her to end the broadcast so abruptly.
The two had barely relaxed for ten minutes when Lewis’s phone suddenly malfunctioned, the screen turning into stripes.
They leaned in to see what the problem was, when suddenly, the phone’s screen flashed and turned into a photo of the two of them.
Dexter looked at Lewis, "Why did you suddenly take a selfie?"
The angle is awful.
Lewis held the phone, looking bewildered, "I didn’t press anything!"
Dexter was about to ask how the phone could take pictures on its own if Lewis hadn’t done anything, but before he could speak, the computer screen beside them flashed with the same selfie.
Meanwhile, Dexter’s phone and tablet nearby also lit up simultaneously.
When they turned to look, their expressions changed to one of horror.
Not just because the computer, phone, and tablet all received the same selfie as Lewis’s phone, but also because...
Their computer’s internet cable had been unplugged just moments ago!
Even if it were a computer virus, how did a disconnected computer receive anything?
"What the hell?!"
Lewis couldn’t help but scream, tossing the phone onto the computer desk.
Dexter was slightly calmer, first reaching to move the mouse on the desk, but upon seeing no response, he shut down the computer entirely.
As the screen went dark, they finally let out a sigh of relief, but in the next second, their expressions turned horrified again.
The computer they had just shutdown suddenly booted up by itself.
With a click, it powered on, and their picture still hung on the screen.
"What the hell is going on, fix it! Aren’t you a computer whiz?"
Lewis pushed Dexter over, but Dexter dared not do anything.
How could a normal computer virus make the computer reboot by itself after being shut down?!
This wasn’t something computer skills could solve. It’s not like his home was under the control of some secret organization.
He was more worried about something else than a computer virus...
"Could it be... Scarlett Jennings?"
Lewis tentatively asked, otherwise how to explain the computer and phone behaving like this just after Scarlett finished speaking.
Upon hearing this, Dexter’s heart skipped a beat, looking at Lewis in disbelief.
Could such powerful supernatural means truly exist in this world?
How long had it been since she spoke?!
"Impossi..." Dexter’s "ble" had just started when the computer screen flashed again, this time with large black letters popping up.
[You’re right!]
Upon seeing these four words, Lewis and Dexter leapt from their chairs in shock, retreating two meters in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterward, the computer screen flashed again, this time with several words in colorful fonts, different from the previous black ones.
[In the name of the moon, I will punish you!]
"Call the police! She’s illegally invading others’ computers! We must call the police!"
Lewis, with trembling voice, thought of the police immediately.
Dexter pointed at the phone Lewis had tossed on the desk, "You... you go."
Lewis: ...
Struggling for several seconds, Lewis gritted his teeth, rushed over, grabbed the phone, and was about to call the police when he received several messages from friends asking questions.
Each message came with the same photo, asking, "Lewis, is this you?"
Soon after, he saw—
"It looks like your photo is being spread like a virus."
Lewis momentarily forgot to call the police and hurriedly opened the local Weibo page.
Sure enough, they weren’t the only ones who received the photo.
Just now, the photo automatically popped up on almost every electronic device within the Cloud Elegant District area network, scaring quite a few people.
Looking carefully through the comments, some had already speculated that this was a new way to come out.
Seeing this speculation, Lewis’s expression, already like a pig’s head, turned even uglier at the thought of having to clarify. A guilty look flashed in Dexter’s eyes, but he still stopped him,
"Let’s call the police first."
Lewis was pulled back to some semblance of sanity, seething inside.
Yes, call the police.
If it could be proven Scarlett Jennings did this, he wouldn’t let her off!
So what if she’s a Master?
As long as she remains a public figure, he’ll find a way to get her!
Thinking this, Lewis brought up the dial screen, just about to hit the call button when inexplicably, the phone slipped from his control again.
The next second, Lewis’s hand holding the phone suddenly felt as if a cold hand had grasped it, a chilling sensation on his empty wrist, sending shivers down his spine,
"Ahhhh!"
Letting out a howl of terror, Lewis flailed his hand wildly, hurling the phone away violently.
"Ghost! A ghost’s grabbing my hand! There’s a ghost in the room!"
Screaming in terror, Lewis turned to run for the door, and although Dexter had no idea what was happening, when he saw Lewis run, he immediately followed suit towards the door.
However, as they grabbed the door handle, it wouldn’t budge.
"What’s happening?! Why won’t the door open?!"
Lewis screeched in panic, and Dexter, spurred by his reaction, began pulling the door, but no matter what they did, it wouldn’t move.
They pounded desperately on the door, but got no response, and at that moment, the computer, tablet, and phone behind them sprang to life with commotion.
Lewis turned cautiously, and in the next second, his pupils shrank.
"No way!"
On the computer screen were several familiar chat screenshot images.
Some of the content was stuff he had already deleted!
Lewis wore a look of horror, no longer caring about fear, he lunged for his phone again.
However, despite the phone’s cracked screen, it continued to display the chat page. Lewis attempted to retract the screenshots or leave the group, but the phone showed no response.
"Quick, retract them! For god’s sake, retract them! Don’t let them send!"
Lewis’s face was one of terror, his fingers frantically moving over the phone screen, but the screenshots remained.
Seeing the phone was uncontrollable, Lewis went from furious cursing to directly begging with his cradled phone,
"I’m sorry! Miss Scarlett! I was wrong, I shouldn’t have orchestrated small actions online, please don’t spread those screenshots..."
He would be finished.
Watching Lewis kneel and continually plead to a phone with a shattered screen, Dexter finally realized the kind of being they had angered tonight.
With no way out of the room and no functioning devices, Dexter had no choice but to kneel alongside Lewis and apologize.
In the room, only the sound of their repeated apologies remained, with no change in the computer or phone.
They kept at it for an unknown amount of time before a third voice finally broke the tension in the quiet apartment.
"Knock knock."
It was a knock at the door.
Exchanging glances, they saw hope in each other’s eyes.
Scrambling up, they rushed towards the door, and this time, as they gripped the handle, it opened easily.
Hastily opening the door, the joy in Lewis and Dexter’s eyes turned to terror when they saw who was outside.
There, standing quietly in front of them, was Scarlett Jennings, looking at them with a polite yet detached smile.
"Hello, I’m here," she said.
Lewis, Dexter: ...
Mom! Save me!
