The Return Of the Invincible Heiress
Chapter 261

Chapter 261: Chapter 261

In the morning, the sun rose and the breeze blew. It was a beautiful scene.

Zoe’s room was filled with hysterical screams, which alarmed everyone in the Murray family.

"Zoe, what happened?" Jarred and Barbara rushed into Zoe’s room, thinking they would see something terrifying. In the end, Zoe just sat in front of the computer, pulling her hair with both hands and screaming non-stop. Jarred and Barbara followed her gaze and looked at the computer screen. Their hearts skipped a beat. "What happened to your computer?"

The background of the computer screen was as dark as an abyss. A sharp knife dripping with blood looked as if it had been stabbed out of the computer. It looked very realistic and scary.

In addition, there was a line of red words that looked like flowing blood. It read, "Dark Matter Is Angry!"

"My computer and phone have been hacked," Zoe said with a pale face. "This is his warning."

She had also watched Miss Yonder’s live broadcast last night. She was so angry at Gia’s stupidity and incompetence that she didn’t sleep well.

When she got up in the morning, she wanted to use her phone to see what happened. However, her phone screen turned black, and she couldn’t turn it on no matter what.

She had no choice but to turn on the computer. The moment she did, she was shocked to see such a terrifying scene.

’Why? Why is Dark targeting me again? The information and photos I painstakingly retrieved from my phone and computer are gone again! And my homework! I had just finished it!’ she thought. Jarred immediately called the butler. "Alger, call the police immediately!"

"We can’t call the police!" Zoe suddenly stood up and shook her head vigorously. "Dark is the top hacker. If we call the police, we’ll likely anger him..."

"What do you mean by that!" Barbara couldn’t care less. "He’s just a hacker. Do you think our Murray family is afraid of him..."

Before she could finish speaking, a maid rushed in and said in a panic, "Mr. Murray, Mrs. Murray, something happened at the mall!"

All of them were nervous and asked, "What happened at the mall? Don’t panic. Speak slowly."

The maid replied, "You didn’t bring your phones. I received a call from the mall. The computers and servers in the mall have all crashed. The cashier system, the office OA system, the warehouse management system, and so on can’t be operated. The network is inaccessible. Even the elevator can’t be controlled."

Jarred’s expression changed drastically. "There are professional technicians in the mall. Can’t they handle it?" he asked.

It was vacation now, and these two days were the weekend. It was the time when the mall had the highest traffic.

If there were problems with the computers at this time, they would not only lose money, it would also affect the reputation of the mall and make people question the management level and supporting facilities of the mall.

The maid said, "They said the technicians are doing their best to investigate and repair it. The conclusion they came to was that the computer might have been hacked. They’re not sure when it will be fixed."

’Hacking again?’ Zoe was frightened when she heard this. ’Maybe it was Dark’s doing. Not only did Dark ruin my phone and computer, but he also wants to mess with my family’s shopping mall. How much does he hate me?’ "Call the police immediately!" Jarred strode out of the room. "Prepare the car immediately. I want to go to the mall to take a look."

Zoe quickly said, "I’ll go too."

Due to the impact of this accident, the Murray Group Mall was empty. All the customers had left. The technicians were so busy they were sweating profusely, but they couldn’t solve the problem.

What was even more depressing was that as soon as the police technicians arrived, the computer suddenly became operational and the virus disappeared. It was just that a lot of important information on the computer had been messed up. Without the virus, the police couldn’t trace its source.

The only thing the mall could do was to temporarily stop operating and spend three to five days sorting out the information.

No matter what, the Murray Group Mall was one of the most high-end and famous shopping malls in the area. With such a huge accident, it attracted a lot of attention and speculation.

Many people suspected the Murray Group Mall was not well managed and that there was internal chaos.

Jarred and Barbara were furious when they heard that. They released news that they were offering a huge reward for Dark’s whereabouts. In the end, no one contacted them.

Zoe hid under the blanket and shivered. She didn’t dare to tell Jarred and Barbara that doing so was a waste of time and money. All she could do was think about how she had offended Dark.

The only thing she could think of was that two days ago, she had used hacking skills to hack into Maria’s mailbox and delete some emails.

’Could it be that Dark is targeting me and the Murray family because of this?’ she thought.

At this moment, she regretted it. She regretted fighting against the Carter family.

However, the Murray family disaster was not over yet.

It was not easy for the Murray Group Mall to reopen, but there was another piece of very bad news.

Opposite each Charming Beauty Medical Beauty Center, a chain medical beauty center was opened.

"Dr. Annie Medical Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery Center?" The Murray family was shocked. "It can’t be that famous Dr. Annie, right?"

"She’s the one who opened it." The person in charge of the Charming Beauty Medical Beauty Center said with a long face, "I’ve asked around. They rented the house opposite at a high price. After a simple renovation, they bought all kinds of high-end medical and beauty equipment and started work quickly.

"I heard their prices are only two-thirds of ours, but their technology, equipment, medicine, and so on are top-notch. Their business is booming. Almost all our customers have gone over there. If we don’t think of a way soon, I’m afraid we’ll lose money..."

She didn’t dare to say that she secretly disguised herself and went to the other shop for medical aesthetics. The effect was much better than at Charming Beauty Medical Beauty Center.

"Dr. Annie is targeting the Murray family." Jarred and Barbara were not stupid and immediately realized this. "We don’t have

any dealings with her. Why would she target the Murray family? Let’s go find them now and ask Dr. Annie about her intentions."

However, the person in charge refused to meet and talk to them. She also refused to tell Dr. Annie what they meant. She replied, "Let’s do business based on our own abilities."

They sighed and said, "The Murray family has been in business for so many years and never offends people easily. We really don’t know how we provoked Dr. Annie. And last time, Mr. Moran..." Zoe didn’t dare to make a sound.

She was confused and thought, ’Could it be that Dr. Annie and the Carter family are in cahoots? However, if the Carter family is so capable, how could they have been poor for so many years?’

At this moment, Avery drove her Miracle 3.0 past the entrance of the Charming Beauty Medical Beauty Center. She snorted and said, "The way I taught you a lesson is that the harder you work, the greater the gap between you and me. From there, you fall into despair and self-destruct!"

Without the surging wealth from Charming Beauty, the Murray family’s fortune declined like the Harper and Murphy families. It could no longer be as extravagant as before.

Among the four great families, only the Randolph family was slightly better off.

The Randolph family was the one that had publicly mocked and banished Brandon at their birthday party.
