Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 31 – Chapter 31: 030: An unprecedented crisis

Chapter 31: 030: An unprecedented crisis

Translator: 549690339

High-level executives sitting around the conference table were all keeping their heads down, unable to take even a breath.

The atmosphere was so quiet it became terrifying.

From the moment the incident happened, these high-level executives haven't dared to close their eyes, working around the clock to find a solution, while the IT department worked overtime. However, they still couldn't find a way to deal with the virus on their official website.

Perhaps.

From the very beginning, they had underestimated the patriotism of the Sinian people.

The chief CEO Jason looked extremely sullen, “If I don't see results in three hours, bring me your resignation letters!”

“Dismissed!”

They had to clean up the virus within three hours and punish the hackers behind the scenes!

This time, LW Corporation had lost face, and if they didn't deal with the virus in time, they would become the laughing stock of the industry.

From the hacking of their official website to the exposure of their scandal, LW's stocks had been plummeting in a straight line, dropping three points consecutively. If this continued, LW would be facing an unprecedented crisis since its establishment 80 years ago!

Jason still had confidence that the IT department would be able to solve all the problems within three hours.

After all, Polluton was a technologically advanced country.

Furthermore, their internet technology was far ahead of neighboring countries by at least 30 years. It was just a small virus, and Jason believed that they, a powerful nation full of talents, couldn't even solve such a problem.

After Jason left the meeting room, the remaining senior executives looked at each other.

With pressure from the top, they could only put pressure on the IT department.

Meanwhile.

Various domestic and foreign news and short video app hot searches were all about the LW official website incident.

The account “Taro Milk Tea” became famous overnight.

[The ID name “Taro Milk Tea” sounds like a girl. Women are just as good as men! Thumbs up!]

[Currently, the global male-to-female ratio of hackers is 100:1. Moreover,

scientific research shows that women's comprehension in the field of

computers is not even one percent of men's. With a male-to-female ratio of

only 20:1 in computer science departments at universities, the gender of the

Boss is quite evident, isn't it?]

[Not to be sexist, but based on the Boss's style, the Boss does seem like a man.]

[The focus isn't on the gender of the Boss, but on how he helped the Sinian people save face this time!]

[It's been ten hours, and LW still hasn't removed the virus. Will LW really be defeated by a hacker from the Sinian Nation this time? This is so embarrassing!]

[It shouldn't be that bad, right? After all, the LW's IT department with thousands of people can't be useless, right? Besides, how long has Sinian Country had an internet history?]

Three hours passed quickly, and the IT department still had no way to deal with the virus.

The stocks continued to plummet.

After several high-level executives discussed, it was finally decided to post a reward on Talent Network.

If someone on the Talent Network could successfully hack the LW official website, then there must be someone who could remove the virus.

The reward was set at one million Dollars.

One million Dollars was equivalent to 100 million in Sinian currency.

LW's generosity was based on the belief that someone must be able to remove the virus.

After all, the initial reward for hacking the LW official website's task was only 500,000 Sinian dollars.

Who could resist the temptation of 100 million?!

Even that Taro Milk Tea might not be able to resist!

In the teacher's office.

Elizabeth stood in front of Teacher Ye's desk.

“Emma, you ranked first in your grade again. Well done! Keep up the good work!”

“Thank you, Teacher Ye. I'll do my best to maintain my performance,” Elizabeth replied with a nod.

Teacher Zhang joked, “Miss Thompson, you always rank first in your grade. Give our Harrison a chance to shine in the next monthly exam.” Elizabeth was consistently the top student in her grade.

Harrison was consistently the second-best student in the grade.

Elizabeth modestly replied, “Thank you for the compliment, Teacher Zhang. Harrison is actually very impressive too.”

She was not only academically excellent but also modest. Is there a teacher who wouldn't like such a good student?

As they spoke, Elizabeth asked Teacher Ye, “By the way, Teacher Ye, I have something to ask you. Can I?”

“Go ahead, Emma.”

Elizabeth continued, “It's about my sister. She had been childish in the past, and I apologize on her behalf. I hope you can give her another chance to come back to school.”

Teacher Ye frowned slightly, “Did she get expelled from North Bridge High School?”

Elizabeth was taken aback.

North Bridge?

Was it true that Viola had transferred to North Bridge High School?

What trick did she use?

Before Elizabeth could fully digest the information, Teacher Ye said in a serious tone, “Emma, you and your family indulge Viola too much. Every time she gets into trouble, you're the one to clean up her mess, making her think she's invincible! This time, she used your reputation to get into North Bridge High School; next time, she might use your name to do something illegal! How will you help her then?”Elizabeth Thompson laughed and said, “Maybe my sister really got in with her own ability.” Teacher Ye could only shake his head helplessly.

Elizabeth was still too naive.

With the way Viola Thompson was, what abilities could she have?

In your dreams!

After school in the afternoon, Elizabeth headed home.

Elizabeth asked seemingly nonchalantly, “Mom, did you and dad use connections to get my sister in?”

“What connections?” Olga asked in confusion.

Elizabeth continued, “Today, our Teacher Ye said my sister got into North Bridge High School.”

Olga frowned, “Did your teacher make a mistake?” Viola Thompson?

Could she get into North Bridge High School?

Elizabeth stuttered, “Teacher Ye said…said…ah, never mind! Maybe my sister really did get in with her own ability. Mom, don't bother with this.”

Having said that, Elizabeth turned and went upstairs.

How could Olga not bother? She immediately took out her phone and called

Teacher Ye.

After learning the whole story, Olga was furious.

What an audacious little bastard!

Becoming more capable, huh?

Now she even dares to use Elizabeth Thompson's name to deceive people.

Olga immediately went to the study to tell Reg Thompson about this.

On hearing this, Reg Thompson immediately stood up with a dark face from his desk, “Come with me to North Bridge High School.”

“Alright!” Olga followed Reg Thompson's footsteps.

Ten minutes later, the Thompson's car stopped at the entrance of North Bridge High School.

Upon learning that Reg Thompson and Olga were Viola's parents, Jessica Girma courteously received them.

Jessica Girma had originally thought that the beautiful Viola had inherited her looks from her parents, but upon seeing them, she realized that it was not the case.

Although Olga was also pretty, she was just pretty. She was nowhere near stunning.

Reg Thompson was even more ordinary.

Could it be that Viola was a genetic mutation?

“Mr. Thompson and Mrs. Thompson, have some water,” Jessica Girma brought two glasses of water.

“Thank you, Miss Marseille,” Olga took the water and looked at Reg Thompson before continuing, “There's something we want to make clear to you.”

“Please do,” Jessica Girma smiled.

Olga continued, “Miss Marseille. Actually, Viola is our adopted daughter. She just came from the countryside and has no blood relationship with us. We also know that with her qualifications, it's impossible for her to get into North Bridge! So, you don't have to give her special treatment for our sake. It's also unfair to other students. We just found out that she got into your school by using Elizabeth's name, River City's top talent. We're sorry for causing you trouble. We came today to take her back.”

Her words were noble and impressive. At the same time, she painted Viola as an unworthy country bumpkin with no redeeming qualities.

Jessica Girma was stunned for a moment.

Then she finally reacted.

No wonder Viola came alone to take the entrance exam and reported to school alone on the first day. Even if she was an independent child, her parents should have accompanied her.

Jessica Girma explained, “You've misunderstood. Viola got in on her own merits and has nothing to do with anyone else. If you hadn't come today, I really wouldn't have known that Viola comes from a wealthy family.”

Real talent and ability?

Did Viola possess such things?

Olga looked disdainful.

Jessica Girma took out a piece of paper and handed it to Olga, “Mrs. Thompson, this is the admission test score sheet.” There were a total of six subjects.

Total score of 750.

Viola's score was 730, ranking first among 56 examinees.

Olga took the score sheet and frowned, “She must have cheated!”

Keep in mind that Elizabeth's monthly test scores were usually around 720 points.

How could Viola possibly be more outstanding than Elizabeth?

Jessica Girma looked at Olga with mixed feelings. Ordinary parents would be overjoyed at their child's high scores, but Olga's first reaction was that Viola had cheated!

For a moment, Jessica Girma felt sorry for Viola.

As an adopted daughter, she must have been walking on thin ice in that house.

“Mrs. Thompson, you should trust North Bridge High School's admission system and also believe in Viola.”

At this time, Reg Thompson finally spoke, “Miss Marseille, please start the withdrawal procedure for Viola!”

North Bridge High School was a school that even Elizabeth couldn't get into back then.

What right did Viola have?

Just because she could cheat?

As Viola's father, he had the right to make her drop out of school directly..
