The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 272
Curtis’ fingers danced rapidly across the computer keyboard. His eyes scanned
the relentless. cascade of commands on the screen. After a minute, his eyebrows
knitted together in concern. “Was there any funny business at the exhibit hall
around 6:30 this morning?” he asked. His voice was deep and serious.
His associate, stationed nearby, shook his head promptly. “Nope, we just did a
sweep of the exhibit hall. Everything's as it should be.” He paused, then added
with a hint of curiosity. “Curtis, you spotted something off?”
Curtis gaze was locked on the computer screen. After a moment, he finally said,
“Someone has breached our surveillance system.”
The associate blinked in surprise. “But didn’t you code a top-notch security
program? We didn't get any alerts this morning...”
Regarded as the seventh best hacker globally, Curtis had established programs
and firewalls that were nearly impenetrable — unless you were one of the top five
on that list.
Just then, the door to the control room swung open. Curtis looked up to see his
boss entering and immediately stood, nodding respectfully. “Boss.”
James strode in. His eyes shifted to the surveillance footage as he asked in a
cool tone. “What's the situation?”
“There's nothing unusual in the exhibit hall, but the surveillance system was
hacked this morning.” Curtis reported gravely.
James narrowed his eyes. “Any leads on who it might be?”
“Just found out. I'm on it.” Curtis replied and resumed his seat at the laptop.
His fingers flew over the keys, tracing the digital footprints of the intruder, but
after several minutes, he shook his head in frustration. “I can only trace the
hacker's IP to somewhere in Riverdale. Pinpointing the exact location is a no—
go.”
-Even You
can't track them down? Sounds like this hacker's skills might top yours.” Wyatt
commented from the sidelines. His voice was heavy with implication.
Curtis leaned back in his chair. His eyes were deep and focused on the screen.
“True. They're slick. They dodged the firewall, and covered their tracks. If I hadn't
scrutinized the command log. I might've missed it.”
He paused, then added, “Feels like they left this tiny loophole on purpose, as if
waiting for us to find it.” Otherwise, a hacker, who was skilled enough to infiltrate
so silently and erase their traces, wouldn't have left such an oversight.
“It's a blatant provocation,” muttered Wyatt.
Curtis glanced at him, with a wry smirk touching his lips, but he remained silent. A
system
breach was one thing, but should anyone dare to step into the exhibit hall and lay
hands on the items within, they'd face a web of traps and surveillance.
Wyatt dragged a chair over and placed it silently behind his boss, not daring to
break the concentration with further chatter.

was coming.
