:
After a bit of playful squabbling, Sean finally came out with Susie’s secret talent.
Baron froze. “You can code? You’re telling me you’re a little hacker?”

He looked down at the tiny girl who wasn’t even as tall as his thigh, and for a moment he doubted reality. Was this some kind of genetic mutation? Or had Natalie’s side of the family produced this kind of genius? Otherwise, how could he possibly have ended up with two children this sharp?
Susie pouted at his skeptical look. “It’s true! If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you.”
Right in front of him, Susie broke into Jensen’s corporate system.
Baron stared without blinking as his daughter’s small fingers flew over the keys. Within minutes she had slipped into Luke Corp’s servers, pulling up confidential files as though it were child’s play. His lips curled into a slow grin.
“Susie, do Daddy a favor.”
“Okay.”
“Crack those files and leak them online.”
From what he could see, they contained Luke Corp’s internal bidding data. Before, he hadn’t minded waiting for Natalie to take her revenge herself. But now, knowing his daughter had this gift, he saw no reason not to let her strike a blow.
It would keep Jensen too busy to bother with his black market dealings.
Susie didn’t know what the data was worth, but the gleam in her father’s eyes reminded her exactly of Sean when he was plotting mischief. She realized then that Daddy was planning to ruin someone–and she liked the idea.
“Got it.”
Her hands darted across the keyboard, and within minutes the files were unlocked and dumped onto the web.
At the same time, Jensen was being informed.
“Mr. Luke, our company has been hacked. The tender documents have been exposed. What do we do?”

Hansel’s words made Jensen’s face harden.
“What are our IT staff being paid for?”

Hansel flinched. “The intruder’s skills are on another level. We tried to block them, but they breezed through everything. Now the entire system is down.”
Jensen smashed his mouse against the desk. “Then fix it! What the hell do you think I can do?”
While Jensen raged, Susie calmly wiped her traces and planted a virus. If anyone tried to crack it, their servers would go up in smoke.
“Daddy, it’s done.”
“My girl is brilliant!” Baron beamed, suddenly in high spirits.
Sean, watching them gloat together, rolled his eyes. “Have you two forgotten our real purpose?”
“Oh, right!” Susie clapped her hands.
She turned serious again. “Daddy, Sean and I checked. Mommy never actually signed a contract with Luke Corp. They paid her for each jewelry collection, but it wasn’t a monthly wage. And she never got any profit shares.”
She laid out what she had found. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ
Baron had always assumed Natalie had been bound to Luke Corp under a formal contract. Now it seemed she hadn’t been an employee at all. If there was no contract, then her designs might still belong entirely to her.
That thought set a fire under him.
“Go play, both of you. I need to talk to your mommy. If there’s no contract, Susie, I’ll need your help again soon.”
He pinched her cheek and rose to his feet.
“Then I want an extra drumstick,” Susie called after him.
“No problem.” He waved without turning back, striding away so quickly his steps blurred.
Sean shook his head. He almost couldn’t bear to look at the two of them scheming together.
Natalie had just finished sketching a design and was stretching when Baron burst into the

room. At the same moment, her phone chimed with a notification from her cloud drive.
Her face tightened. Jensen still had the password to that drive. And inside it–her entire archive of designs.
If Jensen insisted on claiming her work for Sharon, those files alone could trap her with no way to prove the truth.
How could she have been so careless?
Back then she’d only wanted to make it easier for him to access her drafts. But now, with their ties long severed, why had she never changed the password?
