True Love Waits novel Chapter 1179

Evelyn knew it was her. "What's up, Erica?"

"Is my brother-in-law around? I need his help," Erica said urgently.

Matthew was on a business trip, so Evelyn was filling in for him at ZL Group, while Sheffield was at Theo Group. "No. What's going on? Something happen?" Evelyn asked.

"Yeah, someone messed with my computer. Something important is gone. I'm betting Sheffield could fix this."

"Oh, so it's about the computer. Yeah, he's the guy to call. Since you're a relative, he wouldn't mind if you called him directly. You have his number?"

Erica thought for a while. Sheffield called her the other night. So she figured she should be able to find his number in the call log. "I do. Thanks, Evelyn. I'll give him a ring."

"Okay!"

Five minutes later, Erica finally understood what had happened.

Someone hacked into her computer. They got in through the webcam, and had unleashed some malicious code on her system. It crawled through her hard drive, stealing her photos and deleting the email to Luther.

She walked back into the classroom, laptop tucked under her arm. The moment she stepped into the lecture hall, the class was over, and the bell rang.

Damn it!

Everyone had to be there to hear her explanation. An explanation does little good if there are no ears to hear it.

Erica quickly ran to the back door and closed it. Then she went back to the front door and walked into the classroom to tell everyone who was about to leave, "Everyone stay where you're at. I've found the evidence!"

A classmate expressed his dissatisfaction loudly. "So what? Why do we care anything about evidence? Let me outta here. I got things to do."

"Right! You're so weird!" another classmate shouted.

Putting the computer on the podium, Erica said loudly, "I'm going to clear my name. I don't want people dragging my name through the dirt! I didn't hand in Aaron Gao's photos, and my work was stolen. I can prove it now! Listen up, okay?"

The people who were protesting all fell silent. They knew Erica was right. They would spread it about, like any other rumor. After all, it was related to Mrs. Huo, and she was a person of interest.

Erica turned to Professor Feng and threatened him. "Professor Feng, you're our teacher. Because of this, you're responsible to the students. You could have shut this down, and you didn't. If I can't get this matter resolved right now, I'll have to report you."

She was right. The teacher couldn't sit by and watch something like that go down without stepping in. Professor Feng opened his mouth but had nothing to say back. Finally, he had to say, "Erica, if you have evidence, show it to us, then."

Then he raised his hand to the students who had stood up and said, "Sit down, class. This should be educational. Please be patient."

With Professor Feng's help, Erica plugged in her laptop, and connected her HDMI cable to the big screen. Sheffield was controlling the computer remotely, and all the photos on the computer and camera had been restored.

Erica opened the first photo she took. It was about nine o'clock yesterday morning.

The caption on the photo also included the model of the camera she was using, the T14 by Blue Sky Technology.

And the email she sent Luther was also restored. That was time stamped at two o'clock in the afternoon.

She then opened the original pictures Kaitlyn shot. The first one was three twenty in the afternoon, and the time gap was enough for Kaitlyn and Luther to arrive at Archaic Street to take photos.

After that, Erica asked Kaitlyn when she emailed Luther, but Kaitlyn refused, "I didn't bring my computer with me."
