Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1030

Inside the black Maybach.

Serena sat in the backseat, her finger swiping across her phone screen, her expression growing increasingly solemn.

The chilling aura radiating from her made Nicholas glance over. He reached out and took her hand. "What's wrong?"

"Still angry about that piece of trash?"

His thumb gently stroked the back of her hand. "Trash like that isn't worth your energy."

"Him?"

Serena lifted her dark, glacial eyes, her voice completely detached. "As if he's worthy."

Of course he wasn't.

Adrian didn't even qualify for a second of her thought.

Serena turned her phone screen toward him.

The screen was filled with endless lines of decoded data. "See for yourself."

It was the decrypted data from the microchip she had retrieved from the abandoned factory's basement.

The dense pages of decoded names were absolutely harrowing.

Names, ages, blood types, admission dates, and health grading metrics for every single person.

"The Doyle family's operations are even filthier than I imagined."

Serena's voice was ice-cold. "I've only skimmed part of the data. I originally thought the Doyle family only targeted Marington College and a few other elite schools, preying on brilliant, high-achieving students from impoverished backgrounds."

"But I found... there are quite a few children listed here."

When she uttered those last few words.

A biting, furious chill bled into Serena's tone.

It was exceedingly rare to see her this angry.

Nicholas's gaze fell on the next page of data on the phone.

His pupils contracted sharply, his grip on the phone tightening.

"This one, eight years old."

He stared at a line of data, his eyes turning dangerously dark. "And this one, and this one..."

"All from remote areas. Orphanages."

Nicholas's eyes turned terrifyingly frigid.

The records were filled with destitute children, some who didn't even exist on official government registries.

They were children who could vanish without a single person ever looking for them.
