Chapter 431
“Haha, Boss, do you think I’m some sort of omnipotent god p>
“With your skills, Lenny, you might as well be p>
“You flatter me. I was thinking, should we hack into Shane Porter’s phone again and send another fake order p>
“That’s not a bad idea p>
“Boss, your hacking trick was insane. Can you teach me p>
Mira Mercer considered it for a moment. Lenny Forbes and his crew were her people, and upgrading their skills would only make them more effective in the future.
“I can, but I have two conditions. First, this technology can only be used on bad guys. Second, you must have a solid foundation in computers and a razor-sharp mind. This isn’t something just anyone can learn p>
Still, Mira figured that with Lenny’s intellect and tech background, he could easily master it.
“Don’t worry, Boss. Once I learn it, whether I use it or not will be entirely up to you.” “You don’t have to listen to me blindly. You just need to have a bottom line p>
“I promise you, my bottom line is rock solid p>
“Alright, I’ll teach you when I have time. Probably after my high school graduation p>
“No rush. Take your time and focus on your studies first p>
Meanwhile, at the Mercer family estate.
Mara Mercer received Shane Porter’s directive and couldn’t believe her eyes. “What? Steal more documents? Ethan just caught me last time! He guards against me like I’m a thief now. It’s practically impossible to get into the company p>
But ‘Allen’—Lenny using a voice changer-gave a simple, cold reply: “Just do it p>
Mara was entirely frustrated. Her last attempt to steal Ethan’s documents had caused a massive scandal that still hadn’t blown over. And now they wanted her to do it again?
Did she have a choice? Absolutely not.
Mara racked her brain until a spark of inspiration hit her. “I’ve got it p>
She couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride at her own brilliance. She didn’t even need to go into the company She rushed home and quickly printed out a fake proposal. She had seen the previous document and while the contents wouldn’t be identical this time, all she needed was the same cover and signature to make a convincing decoy.
Document in hand, Mara went to find Adrian and Lacey.
“Dad, I want to go to the bidding tomorrow. I just want to gain some experience p>
Adrian didn’t even look up. “Ethan will never take you p>
“Then you take me, Dad! Please? I’ve never seen a corporate bidding war before. I just want a quick look p>
Adrian had no desire to go. He knew full well that neither the Mercers nor the Porters stood a chance of
winning this round; showing up was just a formality. The Mavaria е
going to select someone else if he and his son both attended only to lose, they would become the laughingstock of Melvion City.

But Lacey’s heart ached for her daughter. “If Mara wants to go, just take her. It won’t hurt to let her watch p>
Reluctantly, Adrian picked up his phone and called his eldest son. “Ethan, take your sister to the bidding tomorrow p>
Ethan was furious the second he heard it. “Are you out of your mind? Absolutely not p>
She had single-handedly ruined their last bid, and now his father wanted to indulge her again?
Without another word, Ethan hung up.
Lacey stared in shock, unable to
believe her ears. How could her usually refined, well-mannered son speak to his father like that? Fearing the conflict between the two men would escalate, stie quickly
intervened. “Adrian
you
should just go yourself tomorrow p>
Lacey knew Ethan was still holding a grudge against Mara for the last fiasco.
