Chapter 4: The Hacker

The party had been open for the company staff and a few partners and investors to attend. The stage was simple and elegant, the floor filled with tables decorated with fine chinawares and flowers, while chairs were occupied with people in beautiful dresses and suits.

The hall had been filled with light music and voices chattering, employees that were excited attending, and partnered investors that wore a pleased expression.

Diana Graham, who was the doted daughter of the owner of the company, Huber Graham, was the center of attention. Walking with her was both the sought-after bachelors of their circle, Jonathan the heir of the Rhodes Silk Trading Company and Dave Smith whose family own the largest cruise ship company of the country.

Diana was wearing a white nightgown that made her look like an angel, with her blonde hair curled fashionably and crystal clear blue eyes sparkling, the people around were delighted with such kind beauty.

With two men around her and her background as a beloved daughter of Hubert Graham, Diana was under the spotlight tonight, smiling as she chatted with the important people of her step-father's company.

She was given a high position as a secretary of her father although she lacks knowledge of the background of that position, yet she was his daughter and immediately appointed the day she applied for the job, thought it was known that Hubert Graham had two more respected secretaries to handle important documents.

Everyone knows Diana was doted and treated preciously, no one would say anything wrong with how she was in the company.

With a few board directors and two investors chatting around casually, one of them asked without a thought.

"I've heard that Miss Sylvia will be joining us today? " One woman said and the rest had caught the topic with interest.

Dave and Jonathan, who were casually standing at both Diana's side and drinking wine, as they heard that person's name and both had looked displeased for a moment before they manage to hide the scowl on their faces.

"I've heard she works under the planning or marketing department? How is the young miss doing?"

"As far as I heard, she had a short temper and would mess up with her calculations." one of them sigh.

"I'm not sure about that woman, she had tried too hard to prove herself and it's clear that she doesn't fit in the workplace. Maybe she should quit, she might find a more enjoyable job, knowing she messes up a lot ever since she started working here "

"Indeed, I've heard she also is very violent. Oh dear, I've heard that our young miss Graham here is being harassed by her?" one of them says and all eyes turn to Diana full of concern and pity.

"Oh I'm fine, my sister, she just doesn't like me.... what can I do with that? " Diana says with a sad smile on her face and her eyes showed more gentleness than before

"My big sister always had been displeased with me, I can only endure it if I want to save our relationship as sisters " She looks down a bit teary-eyed and smiles helplessly with a shake on her head as if gesturing she doesn't know what to do.

Her image of a young, kind, and beautiful miss was obvious in her appearance and the way she speaks. The people around her liked her even more and were not happy with the ungrateful sister.

Dave looked at Diana helplessly as Jonathan tried to soothe her painful expression with a gentle pat on her back.

The image of this made the people around even happier for the young miss, seeing how she was treasured by two wonderful and most wanted bachelors of their industry.

"I guess the rumors about the young Sylvia being violent and ill-temper was true, every time she sees her sister, she would act rudely and even make a sudden huge commotion not even minding the time and place!"

"The employees say she would show her clear hatred and won't let anyone help her victims, even targeting bystanders with her poison-like tongue.

Her mouth is full of hate and her eyes filled with envy, this woman... I'd like to avoid her at all costs. " One of the members of the board of directors, Janet Sandoval, says as she evaluates the woman who harassed Diana.

Janet Sandoval looks at Diana with full of concern before she shakes her head helplessly.

"If she comes here and causes any trouble, even if she is Graham's biological daughter, you have the authority to send her out or even behind bars, sisters or not. "

"That's right, how could you just take all the slander and hateful comments from anyone, even if she's your father's legitimate daughter, he dotes on you and wouldn't mind for you teaching that rude woman a lesson "

Few gave in to gossiping and their thoughts showed how much they pity they thought of the young woman.

Although, disappointment was more obvious in their tone. Molina Sylvia's presence was a danger to the kind Diana.

While everyone was focused on the topic, no one saw the change of the Twisted expression when Diana heard the words " Biological" and "Legitimate".

" Diana? Are you okay?" Dave had his eyes on her.

Seeing Diana looking down, he grabs a glass of wine from a passing waiter and hands it to the young woman while trying to understand if Diana was not feeling well

In a few minutes, the even would have started and the hall had been lively with the people standing while chatting.

Just as they think the night was about to start peacefully, there was a sudden silence with the other crowd of the room, and gasps were heard. Diana and the rest of the crowd turn back to see what was the cause of such sudden quietness.

As she looks back, Jonathan followed the rest of the head that was turned and both Jonathan and Dave saw the woman who they were talking about. Jonathan doesn't want to look at such a shameless woman any longer.

He was about to talk to Diana when he noticed Molina's sudden change of temperament.

Eve had arrived just on time and manage to enter the door twenty minutes earlier before the event start. Seeing how everyone turn to look at her arrival and turned quiet, Eve had brushed off the graze with indifference and proceed to find her table.

As she heads towards her designated table, everyone looked at the rumored short-tempered and rude lady with no manners. The violent lady who wouldn't think twice to cause great affliction to her sister.

Faced with the real person from the gossip, they were left tongue-tied.

If Diana was an angel with her white gown, this 25 years old woman had looked more of a goddess in her red lava-like evening gown, she walks as if she conquered the world and her aura had felt more mature and graceful. Her eyes were not looking for trouble nor did she mind the gawking crowd around, she then settles down to her table filled with her colleagues from the marketing department and they looked even more confused.

The Molina they saw had so much maturity, the way she walks and held herself was different. Her peacefulness was too obvious with how she sat down and nodded at them then proceed with mind her business as she opens her phone and was busy with whatever she was doing, was a shocking sight.

Before, Molina would have searched every corner of the room with her determined eyes and would harass Diana the moment she sees her. Making a commotion with her knife-like words and try to embarrass the young Diana resulting in Molina getting kicked out of every event.

Even Dave saw the indifference and had to stare at her figure before retracing his gaze. He remembers the woman was full of spite in the morning and suddenly seeing a huge change made him wonder if his actions were the reason.

Did my words scare her?

He thinks and gazes back at the black-haired woman who was busy with her smartphone.

Good, at least she finally understood how pathetic she was before, yet I don't believe in this sudden change. She must be up to something, god knows what.

Dave had long known Molina Sylvia and knows she was trying to gain attention with her acting calm and collected.

The room had turn lively again as people come into the venue and greeted people from the same department and even the higher-ups had chatted with a few other people. Although the lively atmosphere return, there were still people around catching a few glances towards the rumored ill-tempered woman.

While the rumored spiteful woman was busy with her phone as she checks the email and text messages from different people after managing to successfully entered the stock market and gather millions in a few hours, there were plenty of people she had contacted to sell and buy stocks with and even grab the opportunity to join some land and housing investments.

An hour ago, she had bagged millions from the stock market and even took a few investments from land and buildings. Of course, with a little help from her past experience of her original world, IQ, and hacking skills, she had entered into this system, calculating the previous stock prices and the behavior of the market, she had successfully become a billionaire.

Although it sounds easy, she did physically visited a branch, or remotely, look into open-source intelligence before she decided to come to the party. Hours ago she had to look around the web and identified key employees and found their access level, even got into their internal network environment and bank network.

For all of these to happen, Eve had to go inside a bank and spoke to an unsuspecting bank teller, she was invited within her cubicle and Eve immediately saw her desk filled with stacked paper works and a PC on standby mode, her eyes glance to the other side of the glass walls, what she saw were empty cubicles and computers turned on while the screen showed unread emails.

Eve turn her head and sat down with the female employee, she only had to tell one lie after another about applying for visa cards since "Molina was going to travel abroad".

After talking and agreeing to fill up a form, the woman had to leave her to print some paperwork.

Eve had lookup the wall clock and saw CCTVs pointing her wait, she lazily picks up her phone and as she takes her phone out of her coat, she covers the fallen USB flash drive with her leg from the sight of the camera above.

When the female employee arrives, she didn't see anything unusual and Eve proceeded to with her paperwork, and the lunch break ends. The other bank tellers had walked inside their designated post and started to ask for printed paperwork to be sent to their table.

Eve who was writing, nonchalantly let the pen slip through her fingers and fell on the floor.

" Whoops sorry, I think the pen slipped below " Molina apologized and was about to pick it up when the female bank teller does it herself.

" It's fine, here let me " She smiles and handed her a new pen from her pencil holder, Eve thanks her and continues to write down her information on the paper.

The woman moved her chair behind her, she crouched down and picked up the pen but then she also noticed a small USB lying in the far back. She didn't think anything about it and also took it along with the pen, the woman then proceeds to place the pen on the desk and open her drawer to place the USB flash drive but her movement was interrupted.

"Hey! are you guys busy? " The woman turns around and saw her supervisor outside the cubicle and was talking to the male co-workers on the other side, clearly gossiping and not talking about work-related topics. She didn't realize she had pushed back the drawer as Molina spoke.

"Excuse me miss " Molina smiles, pleased to see her hand landed on the messy stacks of paperwork on her right side of the desk.

"I think I'm done."

And what happened after would be, Eve, leaving the bank and let the people inside do her work, someone probably accidentally picks it up along with the paperwork and thought it was part of a report and plugged it into an internet computer. With the malware into the bank environment, banking the bank was as easy as walking the dog in the park.

If the authorities find out, Eve had already prepared how to divert their attention from her.
