Chapter 179 Personal Tutor
Wynter was in the middle of buying a hot dog.
After scanning the QR code to pay the vendor, she handed the hot dog to Margaret and said, “I guess it’s possible. Stranger things have happened.”
“Then who do you think the hacker is?” Margaret asked bluntly.
Wynter smiled. “I think it’s L.”
“L?” Margaret was baffled. “Just a letter?”
“It’s a codename, Grandma,” Wynter explained patiently, “Every hacker on the internet has a codename to keep their real identities a secret.”
Margaret paused before asking, “How do you know so much about these things, Wynter?”
“Wolf told me,” Wynter answered frankly. “He even showed me L’s biography. Apparently, L hacked into a bank’s system at the age of six. He’s something of a computer prodigy.”
“Wolf has always been fascinated by strange things like that,” Margaret muttered.
“Hmm, indeed,” Wynter agreed with a nod.
“L did a pretty good job,” Margaret remarked.
Wynter laughed. “What makes you say that?”
“Didn’t you hear your schoolmates praising him? He served justice!” Margaret snorted, which was. endearing. “That unscrupulous Ms. Greene deserves to have her ugly colors revealed like that.”
Wynter’s smile deepened when she heard this
Just then, Margaret changed the subject. “I’m worried about this whole retaking–the–test business. I asked Emest about tutoring you the last time, and he was more than happy to help.
“Why don’t you have him come over and stay at our place tonight?”
“Stay at our place?” Wynter, for all her calculations, never expected this development. “Have a little faith in me, Grandma.”
“I do have faith in you,” Margaret placated. She would not be guilt–tripped by Wynter. “I just think it’s better to be safe than sorry. If you don’t call Ernest, then I’ll do it myself.
“He told me to call him if anything ever happened to you.”
Wynter gaped at her grandmother. She was rarely shocked, but now she realized that things could really
get out of her control.
“Fine,” she relented. “I’ll call him later and have him come over tomorrow.”
She only agreed so that Margaret would stop hounding her about this. After all, Wynter was confident she
did not need to study.
It would be hard for her to get any work done if Ernest, her ridiculously beautiful patient, came over.
She hadn’t forgotten that her live–streaming channel was blocked.
The timing of Karina’s downfall, coupled with the complaints against Wynter’s live–streaming channel and the troll army’s company background, was too coincidental.
As Wynter tapped the smooth and sleek back of her phone, she had a feeling she knew who was behind
all this.
Meanwhile, Wanda was entertaining Fiona throughout the party. She had prepared a luxurious seafood spread and opened a bottle of 1992 Lafette.
She had no idea that her first move against Wynter had failed.
The smile on her face slipped when she got a call from Karina explaining what had happened at the school. “What? Wynter wasn’t expelled?”
Karina refrained from telling the whole truth and merely said, “It’s not as if I can stop Mr. Lopez from keeping her around.”
“What about her cheating on the test and scoring perfect grades on her papers?” Wanda demanded.
Karina thought quickly. “I mean, you’ve seen her results. She definitely cheated.”
“Then everything will be fine,” Wanda said, cheering up instantly. “You’re as efficient as ever, Ms. Greene.”
A twinge of guilt seized Karina, but she was out of options. “Mrs. Yates, I’ve officially crossed a line with Mr. Lopez and got myself fired. Could you help me out?”
“Have the Lopez family gone cuckoo? How ridiculous,” Wanda pointed out smugly. “They’ve been getting on my nerves for ages.
“If Victor insists on protecting Wynter unconditionally, then I might as well kill two birds with one stone. I’ll write a letter to the Education Ministry later!”
