Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 84

"M-Mr.Sullivan we… We tried our best."

The director of the technology department was barely holding back tears as he spoke.

The people who worked in this department in the Sullivan Group were the best of the best.

They hardly ever failed or made mistakes.

Except for now.

The flawless security system they'd designed had been so easily hacked into that it looked like the hacker had enjoyed themselves.No one had even noticed when the system had been breached.

But worst of all, they still couldn't track down the hacker, no matter how hard they tried.

In all the director's long years of working in the technology industry, he'd never seen something like this before.

It was supposed to be impossible to hack into the Sullivan Group's security system.

But apparently it wasn't that impossible, because someone had managed to get it right.

"That's not the answer I was looking for," Victor said blandly.

"I want to make this very clear to everyone; the Sullivan Group has no room for incompetent employees.Seeing as you and your people can't find the hacker, I have no need for you lot.I suggest you all leave.Now."

"Mr.Sullivan…"

The director's eyes widened in horror.He studied Victor's face, looking for the slightest trace of mercy.But he found none.

Only his hardened expression and a cold light glimmering behind his eyes.

He swallowed the rest of his words and bowed his head.

He managed to choke out a feeble, "Yes, sir," before he turned and left the office.

The atmosphere in the office was oppressive and cold once the director had left.

As Ivan watched the director leave, he felt his heart start pounding in his chest.

This was going to be a problem.

He was never going to be get any sleep.

It had taken him three whole days to find perfect candidates to replace Alice and Wilson's positions of director of personnel department, and manager of public relations department.

Now that the entire staff of the technology department had been fired, he was going to have so many sleepless nights trying to find suitable candidates to replace them as well.

If he had known this was how things were going to go, he'd never have agreed to bring Rachel from the Sue Garden to the Sullivan Group three days ago.

He may have just landed himself in serious trouble.

"Ivan, have you found anything on the matter I asked you to look into?"

Ivan quickly shoved his own thoughts aside and turned his attention to Victor.

"Mr.Sullivan, I have sent people to investigate it.The hacker connected our security camera to a remote live streaming platform.Something like this had happened in the past." Victor said nothing.

He just stared darkly at Ivan, waiting for him to continue.

Ivan handed him the tablet.

It was open on an email he'd received earlier that morning.

"Four years ago, something like this happened abroad.A senior executive of one of some company was having an affair.His wife found out and hired a private detective to try and get evidence so she could get a larger settlement in the divorce.Three years later, and she still had no solid evidence.So she turned to a hacker.The hacker got into the monitoring system of the hotel where her husband and his mistress were.Mind you, this hotel claimed to have the tightest security around.Tums out it didn't stand a chance against the hacker.Anyway, the hacker connected the camera feed to one of the most popular live streaming platforms.All their bedroom activities were live online for the entire world to see.This caused quite a stir, because now people didn't trust the hotel's security system anymore.People stopped coming, and the hotel was in serious danger of closing down.This place had been running for over 100 years already… The wife of the senior executive took the evidence to court and sued her husband for all he was worth.According to the senior executive's ex-wife, the hacker was."

"The King of Hearts,"

Victor cut in before Ivan could finish the rest of his sentence.

"Mr.Sullivan? How did you know?" Ivan said in surprise.

Victor just glanced at him coldly.

Instead of answering his question he flatly said, "Continue."

"When our monitoring system was hacked, it was also connected to a live streaming platform.Just like the King of Hearts did to that hotel four years ago.It makes me wonder if the King of Hearts is perhaps behind this scandal of ours as well," Ivan said with a frown.

This was nothing more than a wild guess, but it was all he had.

He'd spent hours following all the clues and tracking down every scrap of information he could found on the case.

So far, he'd found out that the King of Hearts had disappeared shortly after the whole affair had been revealed.

No one knew who the hacker was, let alone if they were a man or a woman.
