He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 845: Chapter 845 Does She Need Me?

Twenty million dollars!

How could such a huge sum be procured in such a short time?

Although there had been profits this year that covered previous losses, there wasn’t much money left over. Other areas also required financial investment, and this vast sum could threaten the very lifeblood of Jenkins Group.

Olivia Jenkins hurried out of the CEO’s office and headed straight for the IT department, with Manager William following closely behind, still looking very grave, his lips pressed tightly together.

Under Olivia’s watchful eye, the entire IT department was working hard on repair procedures, but still couldn’t cope with the virus sent by the hackers.

Under Olivia’s direction, the IT department entered into negotiations with the hackers.

...

After ten minutes of intense discussions, the hackers still refused to settle and insisted on the twenty million dollars, or else they would leak the data for Jenkins Group’s robot project.

The hackers then disappeared temporarily, ignoring the negotiations, and the IT department couldn’t trace any information on them.

Manager William’s brow furrowed as if tied in a knot, and he spoke in a hoarse, solemn voice, “Chief Jenkins, what should we do? These people might be top international hackers—without the money, they could do anything.”

Olivia was aware of the severity of the situation; if the robot company’s data of Jenkins Group were leaked, it would cause a lot of trouble and affect several collaboration projects.

If the user data of the COOKIE platform were to be leaked, it would be a fatal crisis once the news spread.

Quiet Video also had a significant amount of user data. In short, this was a ticking time bomb. @@novelbin@@

Thinking this, Olivia rubbed her temples with a pained expression, “Keep trying to fix things, and make sure all the data is protected. Continue to engage the hacker in discussions; I’ll think of something else.”

Manager William nodded solemnly and then went to carry out Chief Jenkins’s instructions.

Just as Olivia was about to call Benjamin Johnson, she suddenly received a call from Abigail Anderson.

Abigail was very anxious and worried, “Olivia, I’ve heard about what happened to the company, how are you handling it?”

This was a secret and negative news; naturally, the fewer people who knew about it the better. As Olivia walked back to the CEO’s office, she lowered her voice and said, “They’re asking for twenty million dollars. I can raise the money to give them, but I’m worried about the leak of Jenkins Group’s critical data.

Once such a scandal breaks, it would be extremely unfavorable for Jenkins Group, a fatal blow indeed. It could also lead to a loss of trust in the Group by many users and potentially trigger even more serious consequences. I’m currently clueless and still figuring out what to do.”

“Don’t worry too much, Olivia. I’ve already spoken to Jordan Bennett; he will definitely help you. I think he will be contacting you soon to understand the situation.”

In such a dire moment, hearing such considerate words filled Olivia’s heart with waves of warmth, “Abigail, I really appreciate it! But you should also take care of yourself and the baby, and don’t worry so much.”

“I’m fine, Olivia, and I will make sure to rest.”

“I have to get back to work now, I will call you with any updates. I’m getting a call on my phone right now, sorry.”

“Go ahead and take your call. Don’t worry, we are always here for you, no matter what. You have us.”

“I know, thank you!”

…

After hesitating for a moment, Jordan Bennett still made a call to Daniel Marshall.

“Jenkins Group is under a severe attack from international hackers—it’s a serious matter. Don’t you want to help Olivia?”

Daniel’s expression was colder than ice, colder than frost. Suppressing the ripping sensation in his heart, he spoke in a cold, deep voice, “Help? Does she need me?”

Jordan spoke in a straightforward tone, “International hackers are extorting twenty million dollars from Olivia!”
