Chapter 455
Countless names now appeared in Bella’s mind.
’Could it be my uncles?’ Bella shook her head.
Her uncles couldn’t have hired a powerful hacker to check her background or to find her weaknesses. That is so unlike them. Moreover, they didn’t have the funds and wit for it after she removed them from the company. Even if her uncles had any ill intentions and wanted to hurt her, they would likely hire a gangster rather than a hacker.
Bella quickly dismissed these thoughts, confident that her actions in front of her uncles had been enough to discourage them from challenging her.
Another name appeared, ’Laura Kiels p>
As before, Bella dismissed Laura Kiels from the list. It was impossible; she would be reincarnated and trouble her again, right?
She shook her head, smiling at her wild imagination.
’So who? Who is the person who still has hatred toward me?’ Bella tried to remember. A second later, a vicious woman appeared in her mind. ’How could I forget her? This must be Jessica, right? Only her.
She’s the one who hated me the most p>
Bella slowly got goosebumps thinking about Jessica Sinclair.
Lately, she had been so busy with family matters that she’d forgotten about Jessica Sinclair, her evil mother-in-law. She sighed deeply and turned her gaze back to Stefan.
She silently listened to every word he said about the matter they were facing.
“A few days ago, your husband called me. He asked for my help, so I joined forces with Max to track down the hacker who was still attempting to steal information about you. However, when he realized this, I teamed up with Max… the hacker completely disappeared. He is no longer trying to bypass Max’s firewall protection,” Stefan explained.
“It seems like you are no match for that person; that’s why he disappeared,” Bella remarked, relieved that she was safe as long as Stefan and Max were on her side.
“Probably, yeah,” Stefan said, a half-smile on his proud face. He cleared his throat before continuing, “But now, we are having trouble finding him because he no longer appears. Also, your husband is trying to find the person behind the hacker p>
“Why didn’t Tristan tell me about this!?” Bella asked, confused.
“I’m not sure why your husband is keeping this from you. But, sister, I think maybe he didn’t want you to worry,” Stefan responded, amused at her clueless expression.
Bella took a deep breath as her mind reeled back to what had happened around her in the last few days.
She started noticing some changes around her, including the increasingly tight security around their house. Even on her day off, Bryan showed up at their residence, something he had never done before.
And recently, Tristan has been trying to stay with her wherever she goes. She initially thought he was overprotective because she was pregnant, but now she understands.
Despite that, Bella sometimes couldn’t help but think Tristan was overprotective because he didn’t want his enemy or people who held grudges for him to harm her.
’Is it possible that someone like Tristan has an enemy, right?’ Bella wondered.
Bella understood that leading a massive enterprise like Sinclair Group was never easy. Many people felt disadvantaged and jealous of Tristan’s success and wanted to bring him down. She knew this from her experience leading Quantum Capital in the last few months.
She had also heard from Jack about what happened to the RDF Group; many people tried to bring them down, so Jack created their Sentinel Network to ensure they stayed on top safely.
’It’s not easy to be successful, too,’ Bella thought, shaking her head and hiding her bitter smile. She didn’t want Stefan to notice her worry, but it was too late; Stefan had already seen it.
“Sister, don’t worry. Even if the hacker comes back, he still won’t be able to get any information about you. Three mighty forces safely seal your online database: Max, me, and the military’s hackers. Thanks to your friend in the military, their hackers are helping us, too,” Stefan explained after seeing Bella seem tense and worried.
Bella frowned as she looked at Stefan.
“My friend in the military? Oh, you mean Sean?” She remembered asking Sean to seal her information from Tristan and her parents five years ago, worrying they would find out where she was going.
At that time, she doesn’t want to ask Stefan for help because she doesn’t want Jack to know about her problems. In the end, Jack and Harper find out she is moving to Sweden, and they wait for her at the airport.
“Yeah, General Sean Spencer. I assure you, no one could break our protection—unless Stefan’s voice trailed off as he remembered his idol, Mel, aka Queen.
“Unless what?” Bella asked curiously.
“Unless my sister sides with the bad person, which is impossible! She’s much more powerful at hacking than anyone I know. But no way she’s working for any bad guy,” Stefan sighed deeply as if he was thinking something despicable and unrespectful about someone powerful. “Do you still remember my other sister who lives in Country X p>
“Oh, a woman you said she’s your only idol? How can I forget? You tell me about her repeatedly,” Bella smiled, recalling Stefan told her about a lady who had taught him intricate coding skills, which are now related to his work. “What’s her ID name again? Q-Queen, right p>
“Yeah, that woman…and she is a good friend, too.” Stefan suddenly felt terrible. It has been several years since his last visit to his idol in the X country. They have not communicated since then because he was too preoccupied with the RDF Group’s business. At the same time, he heard Mel was also preoccupied with enjoying her days as a mother.
“That’s good to hear, Stefan. I feel better now, knowing my online data are protected by capable people. Thank you so much for your diligent work p>
Bella smiled, but she was still curious about who was interested in her and willing to pay a skilled hacker to dig up her information.
“Oh, please, sister, stop saying thanks to me,” he said with a smile. “Well, just for your information, your husband is now focused on finding the person behind the hacker. Since yesterday, Max told me that they were hunting for someone they suspected was secretly stalking you p>

Mel, or Queen, is the female lead from my first book titled “Damn, I Fall In Love With Him.” Just to let you all know, Stefan / Grim Reaper, appears in my first book ^__^
Warning: Damn! I Fall In Love With Him is my first book. When I first became a writer, my writing experience was much less than they are now; I was a total newbie then. So, if you are thinking of reading the book, I would be very grateful, but if you found a lot of newbie mistakes there, you have been warned ^___*
