Lydia’s words sent a ripple of shock through the room.
Grace’s face drained of color, and beads of sweat broke out on her forehead. No way. She had been so cautious, covering every track. How could Lydia have traced it all the way back to the Norwood family? The people she hired weren’t even from the same place. Lydia must be bluffing.
Lucinda shot a quick glance at Grace, her hands clenching even tighter. If Lydia really had proof it was Grace…
Kylie and Cameron turned toward Lydia, stunned.
“Lydia, you mean one of those IPs is from our house?”
Lydia nodded. “Yeah.”
Cameron slammed his hand onto the table, furious. “Unbelievable! The culprit is actually here, under our own roof!”
Kylie was so angry her breath caught in her throat. “Lydia, can you figure out who it is?” she demanded. “I want to see who could be this low.”
Lucinda and Grace felt their hearts stop, shrinking into themselves like kids caught red-handed.
Lydia’s eyes lingered on Lucinda for a second, her expression unreadable. Lucinda’s pupils contracted, her heart pounding so hard it almost hurt. What was Lydia getting at? Did she really know something?
Then Lydia’s gaze shifted to Grace. A chill crept up Grace’s spine. Lydia only ever looked at her like that when something bad was about to happen.
Before Grace could even process her fear, Lydia’s voice rang out, cool and calm. “Who lives in Building 3, Room 201?”
Grace’s mind went blank. She froze, her thoughts scattering. In an instant, everyone who knew where Grace stayed turned to look at her, their faces a mix of shock and disbelief.
No one could believe it. Grace bullying the staff was one thing, but going after Lydia online? That was bold, even for her.
