Chapter 342
Evelyn was just about to wipe out all the online posts exposing her personal information when a message popped up from a user named 'Ethan Blackwell'.
[You're online, Luna! I need your help with something!]
Ethan Blackwell was Benjamin's online alias.
After everything that had happened recently, Evelyn had developed a strong dislike for the Rivers family. Still, she replied curtly, [What is it?]
[Ethan Blackwell: A friend of mine is being cyberbullied. Can you help me take down all the posts attacking her and leaking her private details? Everything in those posts is fabricated! I even got my friends from the AJ Alliance to hack and delete them, but some have advanced security barriers we can't crack yet.]
Evelyn raised an eyebrow in surprise. Why would Benjamin—the guy who always defended his sister—want to help me behind her back? The thought was almost laughable. Since when do pigs fly?
She remembered the look of betrayal on his face at the hospital, the way he'd pointed at her and shouted accusations. Curiosity got the better of her, and she typed, [Isn’t she your sister’s rival? I recall you cursing her out before. Since when did she become your friend?]
[Ethan Blackwell: She is my sister’s rival, but she’s not a bad person. She actually helped me once. My family misunderstood her recently and almost got her arrested. I feel terrible about it. I can’t just sit back and watch her get torn apart online. Please, Luna, can you help?]
Despite his spoiled rich-kid attitude, Benjamin had one redeeming quality—he could tell right from wrong and actually reflected on his mistakes.
Since Evelyn was going to handle the situation herself anyway, she might as well let him think he’d contributed. She typed a single word. [Fine.]
Ethan Blackwell responded instantly, overjoyed. [You’re the best! Thank you!]
Then, barely three seconds later—[Wait. How did you know the person I’m talking about is my sister’s rival? I never told you her name!]
Evelyn ignored him and got straight to work.
Another message popped up, this time with a starry-eyed emoji. [You really are one of the world’s top hackers! Luna Sterling knows everything!]
Evelyn rolled her eyes. What kind of ridiculous logic is that? He’s like some kind of fanboy.
Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she input a series of complex codes, bypassing security measures with ease. Benjamin and his friends couldn’t hack into major platforms like VeeTube due to their high-level defenses, but she slipped in effortlessly.
She pulled up the search function, ready to locate and delete every malicious post in one go. But the results came up empty. Every single post—every leak about her school, phone number, home address—had already been wiped clean.
The online storm had vanished without a trace.
Frowning, she messaged Ethan Blackwell. [Looks like the AJ Alliance already took care of it.]
[Ethan Blackwell: No way! Those posts had insane firewalls. We couldn’t touch them! Wait—what the—? They’re all gone! Who did this?!]
Evelyn’s frown deepened. If Benjamin and his crew didn’t do it… then who did?
