He didn’t hide, just looked at her with red eyes.
By the end, Stephanie clenched her trembling hand.
She didn’t say another word, held back her feelings, didn’t look at him again, and turned to leave.
Stephanie walked around the corner, her clenched hands kept shaking, but she still didn’t stop, and finally turned and walked into the
bathroom.
She turned on the tap, pumped the soap twice, and washed the blood off her hands.
There was only her here, and only the sound of the water rushing
Stephanie washed her fingers one by one, very carefully, making sure they were clean inside and out.
After she washed up, she turned off the faucet.
But, the next moment.
A tear fell and landed on the back of her hand.
Then, one drop after another, kept falling.
Stephanie looked up and stared at herself in the mirror Her lips were pressed together, still looking stubborn, but her eyes
e all red.
She had a happy childhood, but after her father died, everything changed.

Chapter263
The Shelton family was broke, and her mom took her from place to place, then married someone else.
Her stepfather wasn’t good to her, often took his anger out on her, and even almost beat her to death.
Later, he showed up and saved her from the devil.
She thought he would be her salvation.
Even though her mom hadn’t considered her a daughter since then, she thought, she still had him, and as long as she had him, it was enough.
She thought he would understand her, that he knew all she wanted was just ordinary happiness, but he still went and ruined everything.
The woman in the mirror kept crying, but she didn’t make a sound.
The old staff of the Shelton family weren’t just the employees her father left behind, but also included an encrypted information system, * an encrypted black box, and some other stuff.
There were a lot of mysteries around her father’s death, and she had looked into it over the years, but she always ran into a lot of obstacles.
After a lot of searching, the most likely thing was that Dad found out something he wasn’t supposed to know, or messed with someone’s or some group’s interests, so he got hurt.
And over these years, maybe the final truth was hidden in that black box that no one could crack, in all that huge, uncopyable encrypted info.
These things, back when Dad died, were handed over to the systen creation department by Maxwell himself, and he was the one with the highest authority.

Those encrypted files were huge and couldn’t be copied. They could only be used on the right system, so she could only get them from him
Maybe he knew this, so he delayed on purpose.
Stephanie lowered her eyes a little, clenched her fists, and held back the surge of emotions in her heart.
Just procrastinated.
She thought.
Without her, those things were no use to him.
After the lawsuit, she could get it.
This was already the best outcome. If Maxwell hadn’t thought they were just having a fake divorce back then and hadn’t looked closely at the agreement, she almost wouldn’t have had a chance to get them.
Now it was just that we needed to wait for a while.
She needed some patience, and she needed some time to turn her business value into cash.
When I looked up again, Stephanie was already calm.
She wiped away her tears, calmed down a bit, looked at herself in the mirror, and gave a slight smile.
