Chapter 13 Xander Gets Jealous
Xander’s well–defined physique was now fully visible.
As he was about to unfasten the third button, Isabel quickly intervened.
“Stop! I don’t want to see that! I’m not interested in you!”
If Xander’s expression hadn’t been so composed, Isabel might have thought he was deliberately trying to tease her.
Her words ‘not interested’ stung Xander’s pride.

As Samuel had mentioned, many wealthy ladies had tried to get his attention, but he had always been indifferent, even disgusted.
Yet, Isabel was saying she wasn’t interested in him.
“Is my physique that unappealing?”
“Huh?” Isabel was taken aback by the question and couldn’t help but glance at his impressive chest.
To be honest, his physique was outstanding.
Xander’s mood brightened a bit when he noticed her gaze.
Clearing her throat, Isabel awkwardly shifted the topic, “Why are you here? Do you need something?”
She then noticed a handbag g on the bed. “What’s this?”
“A gown,” Xander responded.
“Is it for the weekend’s banquet?” Isabel asked.
“Yes.
It turned out he came here to give her a gown. Perhaps he was worried she’d dress poorly and embarrass him.
“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to look great and make Ms. Perkins regret and envy.
“Are you going to vent for me?” Xander picked up on the underlying meaning of Isabel’s words and showed a hint of pleasure.
Even though he wasn’t concerned about Tiffany, Isabel’s comment made him happy.
Isabel slightly raised an eyebrow. “You don’t have to feel indebted. I might also need your help later–for a little act to my ex–fiance.”
As soon as she said that, Xander’s expression shifted to one of displeasure like a storm had rolled in.

She wondered what was wrong with him. He was calm a moment ago, but now he seemed as if she owed him something.
Xander stood up, glaring at Isabel. “So, you helped me just to use me later to irritate your ex–fiancel”
Does she truly have feelings for that mant Willing to marry me and assist me despite her discomfort
“It’s not using you. I—”
“I’m tired. Let’s discuss this later, Xander interrupted coldly.
He was unwilling to hear more abou: her ex–fiancé, fearing it would only frustrate him further.
He then strode out of the room, slamming the door behind him.
Isabel stared at the door, battled.

“Why is he getting upset out of nowhere? Others say a woman’s mood changes quickly, but his mood changes even faster.”
Frustrated, Isabel grumbled to herself, then took the handbag from the bed and climbed into bed.
She wasn’t about to waste any more energy on Xander,
The e next morning, Isabel headed back to her room after breakfast. She then opened her laptop and began hacking into the Johnson Group’s security system.
She wanted to get revenge for her brother.
With her past connections and resources, taking down the Johnson Group would be easy, but she wanted to do it in a way that made Eva, that scheming woman, face the consequences she deserved. She also wanted Kaleb to see how foolish he had been, played by such a manipulative woman, and regret his past actions toward her.
That would be true revenge!
Isabel tapped quickly on the keyboard, creating a blur of motion. Anyone watching would have been astonished by her speed.
In the Johnson Group’s CEO’s office, Kaleb was reviewing some documents when his assistant, Bobby Jennings, burst in, looking frantic.
“Mr. Johnson, we have a major problem!”
Kaleb frowned, still focused on the documents. “What happened?”
“Our system’s been hacked!”
“What?” Kaleb’s hand tightened, crumpling the documents.
Immediately, his laptop screen went black, displaying a continuous stream of numbers.
His computer had been hacked too!
Kaleb was shocked. “Get the tech team to stop this right now!”
Ten minutes later, his anger was evident as he stared at the still–dark laptop screen, his rage palpable.
“Is it still not fixed? Is the tech team just idling around?” Kaleb swept everything off his desk, including the laptop, in frustration.
Bobby stepped back in fear. “Mr. Johnson, our security system was designed by top experts. Ordinary hackers can’t get through it. But someone managed to breach everything in under a minute. Only one person could pull that off.”
“You mean the number one hacker in the alliance, Hacker 21”
“Exactly No one else could breach the system so quickly.”
Kaleb frowned deeply. “Why would she target us? We don’t have any issues with her. Was she hired to do this?”
“Most likely.”
“Who could have hired her?” Kaleb wondered who he might have upset.
“From what I know, Hacker Z, despite being the top hacker in the alliance, has her rules. She wouldn’t hack a company unless there was a strong reason. Why would she take on this job now?”
“That’s what I don’t understand,” Bobby replied. Just then, Kaleb’s phone rang.
Kaleb checked his phone and saw it was a call from Isabel. Annoyed, he hung up immediately.
“Hung up?” Isabel set her phone aside and continued her work on the laptop.
Soon, a message appeared on Kaleb’s office laptop screen in bold letters
