Chapter 6 The Love Game

Claire looked at her frustrated expression, and then smirked. Who would have thought that the world-renowned top hacker would be such a young girl? And here she was, working in a small dessert shop.

"Why so angry? Who was the one who made a foolish move in the first place?" Claire casually remarked, with a gleam in her eyes.

She met Karen Wilson two years ago. Back then, she secretly helped Grandma Scott with her health, but it was inconvenient to act within the Scott family, so she often brought her unique pharmaceutical tools here, requesting a private room every time.

Karen noticed her "sneaky" behavior and started investigating her. No wonder she was a top hacker in the world. She quickly dug up Claire's background. But being too young, she offended someone like Claire and was dragged into this mess...

Listening to her, Karen sighed helplessly, "Fine, I give in! Tell me, what do you want me to do this time?"

"Even though my identity in City N is fake, my name is real," Claire said in a calm voice.

"So what?" Karen raised an eyebrow.

"So I need you to add the information of the Black family's elder daughter to the data of my City N identity, making these two individuals into one," Claire explained.

"..." Karen was puzzled for a few seconds, then widened her eyes, "You want me to hack the official system and merge identities? Sis, that's illegal! I have my limits, you know!"

Rolling her eyes at Karen's exaggerated reaction, Claire retorted, "You're so money-minded, when did you develop limits?"

Karen, "..." You were truly out of line with that comment.

"Aren't there some Wilson family members working in the government? I was hoping you could leverage your connections to help me finalize the incomplete documents."

"Aren't you afraid Ethan will find out?"

"Oh, I am afraid. That's why I was planning to wait until I got the divorce certificate before dealing with it," Claire stirred the bowl with her spoon, a hint of coldness flickering in her lowered gaze. "But now there's not much time left."

At the end of the month, it was Laura Black's birthday. Her stepmother, Betsy, might announce at the birthday party that she was transferring the shares to her biological daughter, Laura.

If she came back late, and all of this was in vain.

Her thoughts shifted as a bright figure walked by her side. Claire turned her head and her gaze momentarily froze.

In her ears, there was a voice that enjoyed seeing trouble, "Angela! Your rival, your rival!"

"..."

It was a good thing she didn't say anything because as soon as she did, they noticed them over there.

"Isn't this Mrs. Ethan? I had only seen your pictures before, now I finally see you in person," Janice walked over like a proud peacock.

Claire's gaze turned cold. "Do you know that Ethan is married?"

Janice smirked, "I didn't know before, but I found out after we started dating. But it doesn't seem to matter, you're getting divorced anyway, and Ethan doesn't love you either."

Claire clenched the spoon tightly and remained silent.

According to the information Janice received, Ethan's wife came from a humble background and had no status within the Scott family. She was also submissive and never dared to interfere in Ethan's affairs.

Now, seeing her in such a manageable state, Janice became even more fired up. "How shameless can you be? I've made it public that Ethan loves me, yet you insist on holding onto Mrs. Ethan's position! Do you realize how pathetic you look when you cling on like this?"

"If your fans find out that their dream girl is a mistress who actively destroys marriages, now that would be truly pathetic, wouldn't it?" Karen chimed in with a sarcastic tone.

"..." Only now did Janice notice Karen's presence. Glancing at her work uniform, her eyes filled with malice. "Who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to speak here?"

Karen had a baby face and a cutesy voice, but she wasn't someone to mess with. Upon hearing this, a glint of determination flashed in her narrowed eyes. She wanted to use the new drug Claire had researched last time to poison this shameless woman.

"Do you want this Mrs. Ethan position?" Claire sneered, her voice light and airy.

It was lunchtime, and the dessert shop wasn't crowded. There were only a few people on the entire second floor.

Naturally, Janice didn't bother to pretend and spoke confidently, "Yes, I have mutual feelings with Ethan. He's long tired of you, isn't he? If you have any sense, you'll voluntarily step out of the Scott family!"

"I leave the Scott family doesn't mean you can secure the position of Mrs. Ethan."

"What do you mean by that?"

"..." Claire didn't say anything. She simply stood up and leisurely walked towards Janice.

When Janice met her cold, watery eyes, she felt an inexplicable shiver in her heart. There was something about this woman that didn't match what she knew. Subconsciously, she took a half-step back, with a flicker of fear in her eyes. "What, what do you want to do?"

Claire approached step by step.

Janice's back was now against the counter, with no more room to retreat. Leaning back, her face turned pale and bloodless. "My assistant is downstairs. If you dare to lay a finger on me, I, I..."

Claire moved past her and swiftly grabbed a small piece of paper from behind her on the machine. She handed it to Janice, sounding gentle and harmless. "What are you thinking? I just wanted to let you know: if you want to be Mrs. Ethan, you need to take a number. There are plenty of people ahead of you."

Janice instinctively took the paper and glanced down.

It was a number ticket. Written on it was: 99 people ahead of you.

She paused for several seconds before her face turned pale and then flushed. She immediately raised her hand to strike Claire. "You're playing with me!"

Claire intercepted her wrist and promptly slapped her without hesitation. "I didn't confront you earlier because I thought you didn't know any better. But that doesn't mean you can boldly come in front of me, knowing full well that you're a mistress. As long as Ethan and I are not divorced, I will still be Mrs. Ethan. If you want to take my place, you'll have to prove your abilities."

"..." Janice covered her face, looking at her in disbelief. After a few seconds, she released an angry and threatening remark, "Just wait!"

After Janice left, Karen passionately cursed Ethan for more than ten minutes. She quietly glanced at Claire's expression and said, "Don't be sad about this worthless couple."

"Why should I be sad?" Claire chuckled.

Karen pursed her lips, "Didn't Ethan cuckold you? Oh, he has more than one mistress! But you should think about it, you don't have any feelings for him, so don't bother with him!" Mainly because the Scott family was too powerful in City N, and there was no point in arguing with them.

Claire looked at Karen with a twitch of her mouth. "Can you not be so straightforward?"

Karen paused for a moment and then said calmly, "Sorry, I thought you wouldn't mind."

Claire leaned back in the booth and rubbed her temples.

She really didn't need to mind.

But the term "cuckold"...

It wasn't very hurtful, but it was extremely insulting.

A cold glint flashed in her beautiful eyes. "Do me another favor."

Karen, "???"
