Tasha, Janet, and Ethan met up at a cafe.
"I think Seth is hiding something in his laptop." Tasha went straight to telling Ethan her theory. "Do you know how to hack a computer? I've been a housewife for so long and don't know anything about tech. One time, I saw Seth type in two passwords to unlock his laptop. I wouldn't dare to try unlocking his laptop without professional help!" Tasha said with a crooked smile.
She had been married to Seth for several years now. It took a lot of courage for her to admit to outsiders that she knew nothing about her husband.
"Piece of cake." After pondering for a while, Ethan said, "I'll have someone send you a flash drive in a few days. As long as you're able to plug it into his laptop, virus in the flash drive will automatically crack the firewalls and copy all the data in the laptop. But, depending on how much data is in his laptop, it might take a long time, so you have to find the right opportunity to do this." "Oh, my God! Thank you." Tasha bobbed her head up and down enthusiastically.
Then, she lowered her head and looked at the delicate peach-shaped cake in front of her quietly.
"How have you been lately? I heard that Julia moved into the Lester family's house. Didn't anyone in the Lester family object?" Seeing that Tasha looked depressed, Janet was reminded of the gossip on the news this morning.
The paparazzi in Seacisco had to thank Seth for all the material he was feeding them. They even had a column about his affair with Julia now.
Tasha let out a long sigh and scooped up a forkful of cake. With a lump in her throat, she explained, "There's no one living in the Lester family's house now except us. Nora's in a private hospital and Patrick practically lives in the office because of everything that has happened. Seth's the actual master of the house now."
Janet fell silent. She had no idea how to console Tasha.
Perhaps it was because Tasha was a mother now that Janet felt that Tasha was a lot stronger than she was at school.
When they were still in school, Janet had held a good impression of Tasha. The latter was a quiet, soft woman. She didn't put on any airs as a rich lady at all.
"Be careful. If Seth finds out that you're betraying him, he won't let you go unpunished." Worry was written all over Janet's face. She reached out to pat Tasha's hand gently.
