"You wanted me to pretend to be crazy?"

"This is the only way! Edward told me earlier that Sera studied cybersecurity. The reason why she seemed really confident is that she could easily hack into our phones and laptop. He said that this is a minor matter for cybersecurity experts. She could easily record our conversation using our own phones!" Obviously, she was just trying to scare her mother. Edward told her about this matter, but she never believed it. How could someone like Sera be this capable?

True, she wanted to pursue cybersecurity. But does this mean that she is an expert in hacking? The only reason why she has the video with Zhang Xin framing her is that she hid a camera! It wasn\'t because of hacking!

Moreover, she was able to send those videos to her mother\'s friends because she grew up around them! She grew up seeing Zhang Xin accompany her friends. She clearly knew their names and finding their email address online is something that a teenager could easily do!

It wasn\'t because of hacking at all!

"Is that true?"

She nodded at her mother\'s question. "Even Edward told me to be careful. He also installed some security software on my phone that would protect me from potential hacking. Everything about my phone had been encrypted." This was partly true. Last night, Edward was busy with his company. However, he asked his secretary to help Zhang Ying out.

She met someone who is an expert in this matter and now she was confident that no matter what Sera does, she won\'t be able to get into her laptop or computer anymore! Edward promised her that they would do the same thing to all of her CCTV and smart appliances inside her house.

"Then…. Then… we need to…"

"Do not worry about this matter. I especially arranged your new place not to have anything that she could easily hack."

Zhang Xin lowered her head and bit her lower lip. She started fidgeting as she thought of Zhang Ying\'s words. In this incident, the greatest thing that she didn\'t want to lose is her reputation. Pretending that she was crazy would surely ruin her reputation, too! However, it would save her from being labeled as the evil aunt that Sera wanted her to become.

Moreover, she could always claim that she was already healed and is stable after a few years! By that time, people would surely forget about this matter! "Then… I trust you."

Zhang Ying smiled and immediately hugged her mother. She just killed 3 birds with one stone.

First, this would take care of Zhang Xin\'s reputation, that would surely affect her one way or the other.

Second, this would show her capability to Mrs. Fu.

And third? She could use this opportunity to become the daughter of the crazy woman, the granddaughter of a dead man, and the daughter of a depressed man. When it comes to confrontation, the people would surely favor her!

Zhang Ying was aware that Sera had become a bit smarter now. However, she had carefully arranged all the chess pieces on the board. She wanted to make sure that Sera would have nowhere else to go.

"Alright… let me help you prepare your clothes." Zhang Ying said.

The two immediately went to Zhang Xin\'s room and prepared her luggage. After about two hours, the people from the medical facility arrived and escorted her towards the facility where Zhang Xin would stay… for a long time.

When Sera heard about this news, it was already nine in the evening. She was staring at the screen again when Lawyer Liu walked inside and informed her about Zhang Xin\'s records showing that she had undiagnosed bipolar syndrome and is experiencing schizophrenic episodes.

"Those people would not even hesitate to use mental health as an excuse just to get away with framing you!? How dare they! Did they think I am not capable of prosecuting them? Did they think I am a useless old guy?"

"I think you should sit down," Sera said after a few minutes of silence. "I told you I am not suing."

"You— be honest! Is this the reason why you didn\'t want to sue in the first place?"

"Partly." A greedy person would do everything to achieve their goals. This was already expected for someone like Zhang Ying and Zhang Xin. "I am just curious who would diagnose her," she snorted.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I will come to the funeral. Then talk to the lawyers for the will. The meeting should be coming after the funeral. I will be joining this meeting with the representative too. Zhang Xin, that stupid woman, is no longer there. So, I shall expect Zhang Ying and Edward to be there instead. Also… I want to talk to my uncle."

"Nick Zhang?"

"Yes. I wanted to talk to him."

"Before or after the funeral?"

"Before. Please call him and arranged a meeting tomorrow."

Lawyer Liu nodded. "Alright. I will take care of that." He then sighed while silently gritting his teeth. "I will also take care of hiring a secretary for you." After all, he was a well-known lawyer! How could Mr. Quinn treat him like a secretary!?

"Let Chris recommend a secretary. I am sure he knows a lot of capable people and I trust his judgment."

"No problem." Lawyer Liu told her a couple of things about the current Zhang Company before leaving.

Sighing, Sera held her head, her brows knitted.

Then she reached out and opened her phone. For a few seconds, she stared at the starry wallpaper before she finally decided to send a text to Chris.

[Hey?]

She wasn\'t expecting him to respond. After all, he already told him he was busy. However, she really wanted someone to talk to and well… he was the only one who knows what is going on aside from Lawyer Liu. To her surprise, before she could put down the phone, she received a response through a call.

"Hey?"

"Hey… did something happen?" Chris sounded worried. For some reason, it made her feel guilty.

"No. I… I just want to ask about something." Sera gulped.

"Sure. What do you want to know?"

"I— "What does she want to ask? She knew he was busy with work, so calling at his hour… could mean that she was disturbing him. Unless, of course, she was calling to make him feel good? That pervert of a man would not get angry… right? "I wanted to know… what are you wearing right now?"
