Chapter 566 It’s Her

If Kyla replied the wrong way, she’d be in huge trouble.

But right now?

She paused, then typed back, “If you won’t tell me who you are, I’m not taking you seriously. Who are you?”

She knew she was rolling the dice.

Kyla had always wanted to crush Tilda–just once would be enough.

Another message showed up.

“I’m Genevieve Lichtenstein. I used to date Justin. You probably know me.”

Genevieve?!

Kyla remembered hearing that name.

Genevieve was that piano prodigy who was making waves on the international stage.

Then, because she lied to Justin about something, she disappeared completely.

But what does she have against Tilda?

Even after discovering who the sender was, Kyla didn’t immediately trust her.

She kept Genevieve’s name in mind.

She’d look into it later.

Time flew, and a whole month passed.

One day, when Tilda was sleeping, her phone suddenly went crazy with calls and woke her up.

It was Una.

“Tilda! I just heard from Professor Manning that you got early graduation approval. Is that true?”

“Yep, you’ve got some sharp ears.”

Tilda hadn’t told Una about it.

After the semester started, she just chilled, hanging around campus with Una.

She still skipped classes and took leave whenever.

The higher–ups already knew Tilda had been secretly recruited by the government.

“Of course! I’m just like Orica University’s walking news feed… Wait! How could you not tell me? And if you already graduated, why are you still hanging around?”

“Hehe, hanging with you and living the easy campus life isn’t so bad.”

“You truly love playing dumb, huh? Ugh! Having a genius best friend is both a blessing and a curse. I can’t even figure out that game software you gave me, and you’re already done with your studies, living the dream. You make the rest of us look hopeless!”

“Alright, I’ve got a flight with friends coming up. Catch you later. Go whine by yourself.”

“Tilda, that’s cruel! You’ve got new friends now, so I’m old news!”

Tilda tuned out Una’s complaints, got ready fast, and stepped out.

She was at the Comet Squad base.

Outside, Jarrett, Theo, Astrid, and Zach were already waiting with their bags.

“Morning, Queen. We’ve got three hours till takeoff. You still have time to nap.”

“You’re all awake already, so how could I stay in bed? Grab your gear. Let’s move.

“Theo, is the plane good to go?”

“Of course, Queen. I even asked my brother to set us up with a Sky Dining chef. We’ll be eating Flonche cuisine on board.”

They all left together for the Woodward Group’s private airstrip.

On the plane, Tilda sipped her wine after eating. She leaned on her hand and looked at the four excited faces, clearly entertained.

Taking another slow sip, she reminded them, “Remember what I told you before we land?”

The group instantly went serious. “Of course. We’re ready, Queen.”

She’d told them they were now part of the National Cyber Security Center as official government staff.

If they wanted to do side projects, they’d have to juggle carefully and think about their future paths.

Even with their contract under Benedict, the Comet Squad operated on its own. They had full freedom.

But if a mission matched the country’s interests or promoted peace, they would take it without hesitation.

Jarrett, Theo, and Zach were pretty much jobless wanderers. Even if their families wanted them in the business, they weren’t interested. Besides, there were better people to run things. They didn’t feel any pressure.

Their dream was simple–serve the people and stick with Tilda.

Naturally, their eyes turned to Astrid.

Since returning to Slosa, Astrid hadn’t leaned on her family name. She relied on her skills and determination to become the CEO of a mid–sized company at a young age.

No doubt, business ran in the Jensons‘ blood, and she was no different.

Astrid put her glass down, meeting their eyes. “I’ve already submitted my resignation.”

Theo was stunned. “What?! Astrid, Queen just said we should learn to balance both. You worked so hard for that position. Why throw it away?”
