Talk With Aunt Emma (3)

Instantly, Bella froze upon hearing the question.

Bella silently scolded herself for being too casual about a matter her grandfather and aunt were deeply concerned about. 

She mentioned having a business agreement between Donovan and Dawson Group, implying she had an insider or was breaking the company's secret through a powerful hacker. But she didn't reveal anything about her exact method.

Hopefully, they wouldn't guess she had a hacker. Otherwise, she would be in trouble explaining Stefan's existence to them.

Just before Bella wanted to respond, Isaac Donovan chuckled slightly, stopping her to speak. 

Isaac narrowed as he leaned in, his voice filled with suspicion. "You must have a formidable hacker, right?" he asked, his gaze fixed on Bella. Seeing her avoid his gaze, he couldn't help but smile. "Ah, that must be it. You must've asked Max to hack the Donovan Group, right?"
