Chapter 194
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
After leaving the hospital, Renee grabbed a cab back to the Everheart residence.
In her hand was a USB flash drive that contained the hospitalâs surveillance footage she downloaded.
Renee transferred the data into her computer and quickly skimmed through the surveillance footage of the day of the incident.
Sure enough, what should have been a video of more than ten hours had only less than an hour remaining, the rest deleted.
All that remained was footage that disadvantaged Margaret. It seemingly reinforced Briarâs claim that Margaret forced and and threatened Briar to get an abortion.
âHow cunning of you. Briar Desrosiers!â
Renee did not panic. She pushed her rimless glasses up her nose and started typing a long string of codes, attempting to hack into the hospitalâs cloud storage system.
Generally, public places such as hospitals, schools, and shopping malls would have cloud storage systems.
These systems would back up video data such as surveillance footage.
In other words, any video data that existed in the systems could be repaired and could be stolen.
However, the encryption of the hospitalâs cloud storage system seemed to have been deliberately strengthened with the most advanced encryption technology. Even after trying for half an hour, Renee could not hack into it. In the end, the system even locked on to her IP address and attempted to locate her.
âDamn it!â
The quiet room was filled with the sound of incessant typing. It was a war without gunâsmoke. The situation was very tense.
This encryption technology was obviously the work of a top class expert. It was no doubt meant a prevention measure against her. There was no way a bimbo like Briar Desrosiers could have prepared something this complex.
That meant it must have been Stefanâs idea.
The only source of light in the dark room was the computerâs faint fluorescence glow. It illuminated Reneeâs face, making her look particularly sad and disappointed.
Hah, Stefan Hunt, so you would use any underhanded method to protect your little lover!
Renee felt a little defeated now.
If she could not obtain the full surveillance footage to prove Margaretâs innocence in three days, Margaret would be in a very precarious situationâ¦
After pondering for a moment, Renee dialed a number.
Half an hour later, Haze appeared at her door.
Hazeâs slender figure was dressed in black. He seemed like a handsome vampire in the dark night, mysterious and full of charm.
âYou finally remember me, my Bonnie?â
Haze joked with a half smile.
People online jokingly referred to Phoenix and Haze as âBonnie and Clydeâ.
Renee rolled her eyes. âStop it with the jokes. You know how silly online comments are. Donât call me Bonnie. I donât even like her.â
âOkay. How âbout I call you Marilyn Monroe, then?â
Renee released a flurry of punches at Haze. The distance between the two became much closer in an instant.
Itâs weird. She had actually not met Haze that many times before, but she felt relaxed around him.
Unlike being around Stefan, which always made her feel tense and uncomfortable.
Perhaps you could only truly be yourself around someone if you did not have feelings for that person!
âAlright, enough chit chat. I asked you over because I need your help. Itâs kinda urgent.â
Without wasting any time. Renee took Haze to her computer. She pointed to the hospitalâs cloud storage system and said, âCan you see if you can crack this hospitalâs cloud storage system?â
Haze and her were the ceiling of the hacker world. If she could not crack the system, then she could only ask Haze to give it a shot.
Haze took a glance at the screen and said with an evil smirk, âOf course I can. But if I help you crack it, what do I get?â
