SWNOVELS Chapter She Outshines 64
Chapter 64 "Dark Matter?" Zoe's eyes widened in shock. "Why would the God of Hackers target a novice like me?"
Hailed as the God of Hackers, Dark Matter was a powerful and mysterious elite hacker with the ability to deliver devastating attacks. No one knew their true identity. They stayed under the radar as long as no one crossed them. Zoe couldn't fathom why a high school student like herself would attract Dark Matter's attention.
"Whatever the reason, I just don't want to be at odds with Dark Matter, Chaos said sharply, staring at Zoe with a grim expression while poking her shoulder. I advise you to stop downloading or storing such content. It's best not to post anything online either, or you'll be asking for trouble. "Let me warn you again. Creating viruses like this is child's play for Dark Matter if they decide to be ruthless, they could vasily destroy your operating system and wipe all the data from your computer, leaving nothing behind." Years ago, he and I and four famous hackers had teamed up to attack Dark Matter. Despite their five-to-one advantage, they were left in tatters. That event shattered his confidence and left him with severe psychological scars. Zoe, however, was unwilling to accept this. "But-"
Chaos interrupted her. "Enough. Take your computer and go. He shoved her tablet into her arms and pushed her toward the door "I spent over two hours getting your computer back to normal. If this happens again, don't come looking for me." "Wart- Zoe wanted to ask some technical questions, but before she could even finish, Chaos-had already pushed her out of the apartment and closed the door in her face.
"Whats with the attitude? I gave you this apartment, you know, Zoe muttered, glaring at the closed door before stomping her foot and storming off
Once in her car, she pulled out her phone and opened the email from the troll farm (Our computers were collectively infected with a virus last night and are still down. If this is urgent, we can go to an internet café and post from there.] "Even their computers have been een hit t by Dark Matter's virus? Zoe thought in disbelief, her face darkening. It seems like Dark Matter is indeed targeting posts about Athena and the Donovan family
Zoe wondered how Athena, just a high school student, managed to be associated with Dark Matter, the most mysterious hacker of all time. Harry, Matthew, and Dark Matter... Athena sure has a lot of rich and influential men around her, she thought sourly. Zoe replied to the troll farm's email. I'll pay, but you don't need to post anything further.1
She didn't want to make an enemy of Dark Matter, so she scrapped her plan to defame Athena and her family online. What should I do now? Zoe pondered, closing her eyes. Then, her face slowly twisted into a cunning smile.
If I can't drag their name through the mud, why not just spill the rumors about Athena and Matthew to the Graham family Zoe thought, her eyes narrowing with a sinister glint. As the heir to the Graham Group, Matthew's relationship with a poor girl like Athena will surely attract the Graham family's attention They won't allow someone like Athena to stay by Matthew

She then sent an encrypted email to the private investigator she had hired. [Forget about the Donovan family. Follow Athens and Matthew. Make sure to capture evidence of their interactions and any hints of their relationship. Remember. don't let them know they're being watched] The response came swiftly. Understood
Zoe's mood brightened at the thought of having found Athena's new vulnerability. She reclined in her seat, closed her eyes, and told the chauffeur, "I'm going to take a nap. Don't wake me, even if we get home. Let me sleep until I wake up naturally 1/3 10:40 Sat, Oct 12
Chapter 64
As noon approached, the Donovan family, seldom gathered all at once, made the most of the rare moment by preparing a sumptuous lunch and eating together. When they had almost finished, Athena sent a message to Harry signaling that he could proceed with the plan.
Soon, Wesley received a call from Carla, the representative from Bard Property. Everyone fell silent, waiting in suspense.
As expected. Carla
Carla delivered good news. "Mr. Donovan, we have all the documents ready. You can come by to sign the contract at any time. Please bring your identity cardd
The Donovan family was both surprised and delighted. After three-year delay, Hard Property's turnaround was so swift, their exceptional efficiency made it seem almost unbelievable. After explaining the details, Carla added politely. Im not taking a lunch break, so I can assist you with all the procedures whenever you're ready. It's up to your schedule." Wesley looked at his family,
Arthur ecstatically waved his fists. The longer we wait, the more we risk. Let's go now; it's not far from here to Bard Property
I can drive us there, Athena offered.
"We'll get ready and arrive at Bard Property within half an hour, Wesley replied to Carla.
Carla said. "I think it's better if we meet directly at the Mid-Level Mountain Garden. You can view the house and sign the contract on-site."

villa
They felt a little embarrassed at Bard Property's thoughtful gesture. Once the housing matters were settled, the Donovan family planned to prepare a gift and personally deliver it to Bard Property. Wesley expressed his gratitude profusely. Thank you, Miss Lennox. We'll be on our way to Mid-Level Mountain Garden now. It might take us about an hour and a half."
to rush. I'll head over with my colleagues and inspect the villa. You can take your time, Carla replied before. ending the call.
"There's no need Arthur ran into his room to gather the documents and identity cards. After Wesley checked everything, the family set out. To maximize space in the car, Wesley drove, Arthur sat in the passenger seat, and the ladies sat in the back. Josie was small and hardly took up any space. With this arrangement, everyone at comfortably, without feeling cramped at all Athena noticed that the first thing everyone did after getting in the car was to
As soon as the car took off, Wesley exclaimed, "Athena, this car is fantasticasten their seat belts, including Josie I was clear that, although the Donovan family might not be wealthy, their upbringing was exemplary.
! It performs even better than the imported luxury cars I've driven."
"If you like it, I can get you a used one of the same model, Athena said with a warm smile.
"No" Wesley shook his head. "You should save your money for yourself. The family's funds are for everyone's use. There's no need to get a new car.
The car ride was filled with chatter and laughter. Almost an hour later, the family arrived at the west entrance of Mid-Level Mountain Garden

The grand gate, the professional security guards, and the scenic hilltop left them momentarily speechless. The hillside was hush with greenery, and birds chirped among the fragrant flowers, with beautiful villas scattered throughout.
From their vantage point, they could see the clear and tranquil lake at the foot of the mountain, with the dazzling skyscrapers standing tall across the water.
Such an environment made their hearts race with excitement and apprehension. They wondered if they would even be allowed through the gate, let alone reach the villa.
Their worries were soon dispelled because Carla from Bard Property had already walked out of the gate. She greeted the security guard, who then granted them entry to drive into the community. Carla drove a small car and led them up to the top of the hill. Though it was the hilltop, the slope was gentle, and walking up wouldn't be tiring. Soon, Carla parked in front of a villa and came over to open the car doors for them. "Everyone, this is the house."
The Donovan family got out and gazed at the luxurious house in front of them, unable to speak for a long time. They found it hard to believe that such a villa, which they had only seen on TV, could really belong to them.
