Chapter 456

Bryan nodded and said, “We’re planning to place someone in Bree Technology.”

“Is it so simple?”

“Of course not. We’ve contacted a team of tech specialists to target GrabCheap’s servers, and the insider we’re planting is a real pro at this game,” Bryan replied.

Elizabeth raised an eyebrow and said, “Nice move.”

If I were Aubree, I’d definitely make use of this person. Once she does, the entire backend server of GrabCheap would be exposed right under the Wilson family’s nose. By then, whatever they want to do to GrabCheap is a piece of cake, Elizabeth thought.

“I’ve got a plan too, but it’s aimed at Aubree’s lapdog, Birgitte. Maybe we could team up and make it even more effective,” Elizabeth said.

Bryan had chosen to work with Elizabeth, not merely because they shared the same goal. It wasn’t that the Lawson family was very capable of doing business, and to be honest, Bryan didn’t think much of them in that regard.

The reason the Lawson family managed to stay afloat in Rithol City and still received so much respect was mainly due to the strong military and political background of Elizabeth’s father.

The main Lawson family wasn’t based in Rithol City. Elizabeth’s branch could be considered the most legitimate financial arm of the family. They would never let anything happen to the Lawson Group.

Taking down Aubree would require more than just clever business tactics; strength in other areas was also necessary.

Both she and Bryan were pragmatic individuals, and their relationship was one of mutual benefit to begin with. After they agreed to the collaboration, there was no need for any formalities. They publicly announced their marriage alliance the very next day after informing their elders.

By the time Aubree saw the news, she was already in Südlichen Strand. She was somewhat surprised that Bryan had a marriage alliance with Elizabeth, which never happened in her previous life.

She remembered that after the Lawson family’s biggest backer collapsed, the Lawson family soon disappeared over time. Elizabeth married a wealthy businessman as his second wife in a desperate attempt to salvage the Lawson Group, but it was futile.

In his previous life, Bryan had chosen to marry a young lady whose family background was strong enough to rival the Wilson family’s, and who had loved him wholeheartedly.

Aubree propped her chin on her hand. Looks like what happened in Urggate City really rattled him, that he eagerly approached Elizabeth for a marriage alliance.

But that’s not a bad thing. Now that they’re tied together, Bryan won’t be able to wash his hands of it if the Lawson family gets into trouble, she thought.

“Ms. Miller, here’s the detailed report on the attacks we received lately,” Birgitte said after knocking and coming in. She placed the documents in front of Aubree and waited for her to review them.

“Our tech team can only do their best to defend and rebuild the firewalls, but these attacks are aggressive. Whenever they discover a vulnerability, they hit us just enough to cause some damage and then retreat.

“They’re very cunning. Till now, we still have no clue who’s behind it,” Birgitte said, expression grim, clearly pissed off.

No one liked mosquitoes buzzing annoyingly around their ears. They were even more irritating when they bit. On top of that, you would worry whether they transmitted a severe disease.

“If we can’t track them down, so be it. No point stressing over it now as they’re bound to make a move sooner or later,” Aubree said.

“What matters most is that we need to headhunt some real pros in this area to keep ourselves safe. The enemy’s lurking in the shadows, so we have to fortify our defenses to the max,” she added without hesitation.

“We had searched for talents ever since the first attack. A promising candidate applied, and he’s played a key role in defending against these recent attacks,” Birgitte said.

Aubree was surprised to hear Birgitte praise someone. It made her even more curious about this person. Since it’s already after work, I’ll meet him next time, she thought.

“Alright, we’re done for the day. Let’s go for a meal,” Aubree said.
