Chapter 595 Xavier Again
Sean rejected her proposal straightforwardly. Veronica frowned, then lowered her head and thought for a
while. She said earnestly, “It’s a real pity that you don’t know how to keep up with the times.”
As she spoke, she realized something. “By the way, I have something to show you.” She fished out her
phone and navigated to a Telegram group. She found part of the conversation history, then stood up and
walked toward Sean. She showed her phone to him. “Look.”
The group’s name was blank. Because the members’ details were hidden, only the icon of the group was
visible. ‘Guys, a private detective agency in Bloomstead is hiring hackers for a high salary.’
‘Bloomstead? Quick, tag @Cautious, she’s based in Bloomstead.’ ‘@Cautious you should try this out,
dude.’
‘@Cautious if you want to go, I’ll go too. We can even meet up in real life.’ Veronica had replied, ‘When I
get some shares in this detective agency, you guys can come.’ ‘Whoa, are you getting shares already?’
‘When are you getting the shares, bro? I can hardly wait.’ ‘What if your so-called bro is just a little kid?
What are you going to do then?’
‘Tsk, has it never occurred to you that she might be a girl?’

…
After Sean scanned the short conversation, Veronica finally put away her phone. “The top talents you’re
looking for are with me. Even if I take some shares, you’d still be holding a majority of them. Also, we
have a common enemy. We can work together to fight against this strong enemy, then we can both
benefit from this and win. Wouldn’t that be best?”
Last year, Veronica did think of talking to the boss of the private detective agency about getting shares,
but she had been rejected.
Bluntly put, she knew the requirements for getting those shares put out by the boss behind the scenes,
but she wasn’t capable enough yet.
Now, Veronica learned that she couldn’t just stay comfortably in her safe zone all day; she had to
prepare for the worst as well.
“Last year, you said that I’d have to pay two hundred million for the shares and bring three professional
hackers with me. I can meet those requirements now.”
Veronica sat partially on the table, glaring at Sean. “You can take time to consider this, Mr. Ludwig.”
Her slender fingers snapped the laptop shut, taking it with her as she turned around and walked to the
spot she was sitting in just now. She inserted the laptop into the bag and lifted it, getting ready to leave.
“Wait.”
Sean was staring at the table, deep in thought for a moment. “How can I trust that all the people you’ve
gathered are professional hackers?”
“Mr. Ludwig, have you forgotten your line of business?”
Veronica curved her lips into a smile. “You are the boss of a private detective agency. You only have to
spend a little bit of time to figure out their identities.”
“We can consider a partnership. Too many people know about the location in Bloomstead, so if you’re
willing to open up a branch in Castron, it’d be doable.”
With that, Sean added, “I can provide you with the manpower, but one of the hackers has to stay here.”
“Now we’re talking.”
…
Veronica and Sean talked long into the night, and they confirmed the partnership in the end.
By the time she drove back to Twilight Condominium, it was already 5.00AM.

“Roni?”
Xavier was making a call as he leaned against a car. He was chatting away when he saw Veronica
walking in his direction while dressed in athleisure.
“Why are you here?”
Upon this accidental meeting with Xavier, Veronica didn’t dare approach him. Instead, she maintained a
few yards between them.
She was already pregnant, so she dared not get too close to him. She feared that it would jeopardize the
child’s safety, after all.
She still vividly remembered the incidents that happened in Castron. She only recalled it briefly, but she
was already consumed by the lingering fear.
Xavier ended the call and put away his phone. “Why are you standing so far away? Are you scared that I
might hurt your child?”
He hit the bullseye.
Veronica didn’t deny it. “Looks like you’ve recovered as well.”
It wasn’t surprising that Xavier knew of her pregnancy.
