True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 248 Attacked from Both Sides

Sebastian's eyes darkened. He naturally knew the importance of the chip technology data to the Winters Group.

He had spent five years and billions of dollars developing this chip technology, which allowed them to surpass other companies.

If this data were lost, their subsequent products might not be able to hit the market, which would cause significant losses.

Sebastian immediately put down his phone, walked into the study, and entered the computer system to track the lost data.

When Alexander and Sophia came in, he was frowning at the computer. Hearing the noise, he didn't even lift his eyelids, and his fingers kept tapping on the keyboard.

Seeing him like this, Alexander knew something was wrong. He immediately walked over and asked, "Is something wrong with the company?"

Sebastian's voice was low and hoarse. "The firewall was breached, and the chip technology data is lost."

Alexander cursed, "Fuck! They're trying to destroy you. That bastard, if I catch him, I'll make sure he suffers."

Alexander immediately grabbed a laptop, sat on the sofa, and his long fingers started tapping on the keyboard.

Sophia looked at him, puzzled. "What are you doing? We need to focus on finding Joyce!"

Alexander had never looked so serious before, his eyes fixed on the code on the screen, his fingers tapping away. "The Winters Group has too many confidential files. I need to help him set up the firewall quickly, or the losses will be even greater."

Sophia looked at him in disbelief. "You know hacking?"

Alexander replied, "What did you think? Do you think I only know how to handle a scalpel? My hacking skills might be a tad rusty compared to Sebastian's, but I can hold my own."

This truly shocked Sophia. She had never thought that the always carefree Alexander would know such high-tech skills. She quietly sat beside him, watching lines of code being typed into the computer.

Sophia didn't know how much time had passed when Alexander felt his shoulder getting sore. Only then did he realize that she had fallen asleep on his shoulder.

Seeing her slightly swollen eyes, Alexander stopped what he was doing. He laid her flat on the sofa, letting her head rest on his thigh, and covered her with his jacket.

At this moment, Sebastian received a call and immediately answered it.

The subordinate said, "Mr. Winters, we found the owner of the ship. He said there were twenty life rings on board, and we only found nineteen. So, Mrs. Winters might have jumped into the sea with a life ring. If that's the case, her chances of survival are much higher."

Hearing this news, Sebastian's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed and his eyes brightened. He knew that Joyce would know how to save herself at a critical moment.

Sebastian immediately got up and instructed, "Search along the coast according to the wind direction that day. Today is the sixth day, which is the maximum time a person can survive at sea."

The other side replied, "Okay, we're heading out now."

Sebastian paced excitedly on the balcony, feeling that the chances for Joyce's survival were now greater.

Seeing him like this, Alexander said, "Leave this to me. You take people to search. She might have drifted to a small fishing village and been rescued."

Sebastian patted Alexander's shoulder a few times and said in a deep voice, "I've tracked the hacker. It's ZORE, ranked sixth. I've locked his location and sent people to find him. The rest is to find the lost files." Alexander smiled confidently. "Go ahead. I promise to find the data within a day."

Sebastian had complete trust in Alexander's skills. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to leave when the group was in such a big crisis.

As night fell, the only sound in the room was the tapping of the keyboard. In her sleep, Sophia heard this sound and impatiently cursed, "Alexander, are you still playing games? Can't you let me sleep?" She rubbed her face against Alexander's thigh, her warm breath spraying on his lower abdomen. A tingling sensation instantly spread throughout his body.

Alexander stopped what he was doing, brushed Sophia's hair with his big hand, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Okay, I'll be quieter. You sleep." Hearing this voice, Sophia was even more certain that she was lying on her own sofa and what she was resting her head on was her little pig pillow. She shamelessly hugged Alexander's waist, her hot face rubbing against his thigh.

Sophia mumbled, "If you keep bothering me, I'll hit you."

But Sophia's actions made it impossible for Alexander to concentrate on his work. He looked down at the her in his arms and her constantly talking little mouth. For a moment, Alexander wanted to lower his head and take those lips into his mouth. He wanted to taste them.

Following his instincts, Alexander slowly lowered his head. Just as he was about to take the next step, Sophia suddenly opened her eyes.

What she saw was not her pink little pig pillow but Alexander's white trousers and black shirt. And under his trousers, something seemed to be swelling.

Sophia instantly felt something was wrong. She immediately screamed, sat up from Alexander's thigh, and slapped him unexpectedly. "What are you trying to do?"

All of Alexander's beautiful fantasies were shattered by this slap. He touched his face, feeling a bit aggrieved. "My thigh was about to go numb from you resting on it, and you repay kindness with a slap."

Sophia pointed at his thigh and questioned, "Even if I was resting on your thigh, you can't have such a physical reaction. You did it on purpose. You wanted to take advantage of me."

Alexander said, "Sophia, be reasonable, okay? You were rubbing against my leg. I'm a normal man, of course, I would react."

Sophia punched Alexander's thigh hard and said angrily, "At a time like this, you're still thinking about that? Alexander, are you even a man?"

Alexander smirked, "Didn't you just see if I'm a man? Do you want me to take off my pants and let you check?"

"Get lost!" Seeing him about to take off his pants, Sophia was so scared that she immediately backed away, not expecting him to be this shameless.

Seeing her scared little red face, Alexander pinched it and asked with a smile, "Why are you blushing? Sophia, do you have feelings for me? If that's the case, I can satisfy your needs."

"Shut up!" Sophia slapped his hand away. She started punching and kicking Alexander.

Alexander grabbed her and held her in his arms, whispering in her ear, "Sophia, you're finally back to life. Do you know how scary you were these past few days?"

He said this very seriously, making Sophia a bit lost. These days, she had been immersed in the pain of Joyce's disappearance, and it was Alexander who stayed with her day and night. She cried herself to sleep in his arms and woke up in his

arms.

'When did I and Alexander become so boundary-less? How did I become so dependent on him during my most difficult times?' Thinking of this, Sophia's heart suddenly tightened, and her breath stopped for a moment.

At this moment, Alexander's low, seductive voice suddenly came to her ear. "Sophia, I've been taking care of you these days. Don't you think I deserve a little something in return?"
