Selina was merely asking. She didn't expect to hear such significant news from Samuel and couldn't help but feel a bit downcast.
Samuel said. 'Selina, I know this is sudden. Trevon didn't tell me what he discovered. I trust my son completely, and if it were something else, I can let it go. But Ive been tracking Phantom for so many years and I've found nothing. I know Phantom is Clusian and has a strong sense of duty to her country. If she can be of service to Clusia, I promise her complete confidentiality, personal safety, and resources! As Trevon's partner, have you ever heard him mention anything about it? Even the smallest detail? Selina lowered her gaze and replied softly, Tim sorry. Dad. I haven't heard anything"
Samuel's face fell. "Really? Well, I apologize for bringing this up so suddenly. I didn't mean to frighten you. Just think of it as an old man's ramblings."
Knock! Knock! There was a knock on the door.
"Dad, it's me." "Trevor's voice came through.
Samuel thought. Trevon?" "Come in, Trevon, be responded.
"Okay." Trevon walked in with one hand in his pocket. He smiled when he saw Selina. "Honey, I'm here to take you home."
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Selina asked.
"That's what I call a surprise," replied Trevor,
Nora followed closely and said angrily, Trevon, why are you sa nervous? Are you still afraid that we'll eat Selina? She'll stay with us tonight. We're going to have a tea party and gossip. You should go home quickly," Treion turned and poked Nora's forehead
"Ah! Nora cried out in pain and ran to Samuel with tears in her eyes. "Dad, look what Trevon did! It hurts so much!"
Samuel gently parted Nora's hand and said. "Now, how old are you? Why would you tease Trevon like that? She's his wife, after all. You shouldn't be so bold."
"Boo-hoo! Dad, it was Trevon who bullied me first. Why are you still taking his side? Selina....""" Nora cried.
Selina rutted, "Honey, Nora's your sister. She was just teasing you. Don't be so rough with her next time
"I was just joking with her too Trevon responded. "But, Honey, it's gening late. Let's not bother Dad and Susie any longer. Dad's busy with work and rarely gets to come home. Susie's so happy. Let's not third wheel" Trevon's gentle tone with Selina gave Nora goosebumps.
She thought, "All right, that's enough!" If she didn't know Trevon's character so well, she might have thought he was giving her the cold shoulder.
"Well... All right, Dad, it's getting late. Trevon and 1 will head out" Selina said, sensing it was time to leave since she had something to discuss with Trun
Samuel walked over to Trevon and said. "Trevon, you can
came all the way here to pick up Selina. Don't you have anything to say to me?"
1 do, but I don't want to interrupt you and Susie. I'll give you a call if there's something important."
"Okay, I
then. Take care. Samuel said.
Will do Trevon nodded.
After leaving the villa, Trevon and Selina gor into the car.
"Burling, you drove me home last time. How about I take you for a ride this time? Selina offered
Trevon replied
"It's an honor to be invited by the world racing champion, Flying Shadow Trevan responded with a grim
Selina drove the Lamborghini onto the highway, carrying Trevon along for the ride.
Trevon stayed quirt, prompting Selma to purse her lips Are you curious why Dad called me into the study alone, Dark
Darling?"
"What could any tak possibly say in his daughter-in-law He hasn't had a chance to talk with you alone before Tinju glad to see you boy getting absung, Trevon replied, playing it cool "Mercatting dorless, Darling" Selincexclaimed

Trevon feigned innocence. "What? Honey, what did I do?"
Selina drove into a safe spot and stopped the car. She turned to Trevon and said, "Dad mentioned Phantom, the top hacker from the Dark Web. He said you knew some clues about Phantom but didn't tell him because it involved people you know. You didn't even mention it to me, and it's a pretty big deal
"Honey, I can explain." Trevon began. "Dad emphasized how important the Pluto situation is. If I'm not careful, it could cause a lot of trouble. I didn't want you to worry about it either. But, why are you suddenly interested?"
Trevon intertwined his fingers, staring at Selina intently, as if trying to gauge her reaction. There was a hint of expectation and excitement in his
"Dad asked me about it. How could I not be interested? Selina replied, playing along.
"You're right, Honey. You're so powerful and have so many secret identities, so it's only normal that dad thought of you, hoping you'd know something about Phantom. It's quite normal. Speaking of which, Honey, I've told you that once cooperated with Phantom. Your hacking skills are also quite good," said Trevon.
I'm nowhere near as good as the number one hacker on the Dark Web, Darling. Are you flattering me?" Selina replied.
Logically, even if Trevon had worked with Phantom, it would be nearly impossible for him to know that Selina was Phantom without solid evidence
Were is anyone else, Selina could easily brush it off. After all many countries had secretly tried to uncover Phantom's true identity and failed. But Selina had taken the initiative to contact Samuel, offering to help Clusia After working with her for years. Samuel had guessed that Phantom was Clusian and probably a woman.
So, what could Trevon have discovered?
"Honey, you're too modest," Trevon said, "With all you've accomplished, even a man like me feels a bit inadequate. I imagine Phantom would think they're nothing compared to you
"Darling, you're going in circles! If you have something to say, just say it! Do you know something? Selina urged
Trevon met her eyes and said. "Would you be surprised if I told you I knew Phantom was you, Honey! He certainly didn't mince his words. Selina's heart skipped a beat. That ominous feeling she'd been ignoring finally hit her. Trevon must have found something that led him to suspect she was Phantom. Otherwise, he wouldn't have confronted her so directly
To tell you the truth. I was surprised, Darling. You really have a wild imagination. Me, Phantone How's that even possible? Phantom's the number one hacker on the Dark Web Even if you're ju guessing, you should at least have some logic behind it Selina pretended to be upset
"Honry. I was just joking. Don't be mad, okay?" Trevon said with a smile.
Selina just stared at him, speechless.
"I'll make it up to you. Ten chocolate cupcakes tonight. Trevon offered
"Fifteen Selana demanded.
"All right, fifteen it is, Trevon agreed.
Later, back at the Brady manor, Trevon was busy handling business in his study. Meanwhile, Selina enjoyed her cupcakes and sipped black tea. Life felt so cuzy and comfortable.
As she indulged. Selina pulled out her phone and logged into her Dark Web account. While logging in, she noticed the platform's prompt welcoming Phantom. She took a moment to recheck her information-luding techniques, meticulously ensuring there were no leaka Everything was flawless. Yet, lier intuition mogged at her. Trevon must have figured out that she was Phantom. He probably had some evidence. though not rough to confirm it fully
II Selina kept playing dumb, she knew it wouldn't work for long. Trevon was too clever, maging to uncover clues that had eluded enure tuens Selon couldn't help but wonder whether finding such an extraordinary man was a blessing of it curve.
