CHAPTER ONE

Chapter 1 Septuplets

"Ah!"

"Ah!" A searing pain ripped through Vania Greyson's body as her tears fell uncontrollably. The man on top of her was like a ruthless beast, his grip tight around her waist as he assailed her. Meanwhile, her heart continued to sink further into her stomach. Today was the day that she successfully obtained an admission notice from the Hammond Art Academy, and her fiancé, Dylan Jones, had specially asked her to come to this place for a celebration. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered, she was thrown onto the bed by a strange man. After what seemed like eternity, the man on top of her finally released her and fell into a deep sleep. Vania pushed him away strenuously before she stumbled her way out of the room. Her clothes were a mess, and her eyes were red and swollen; it wouldn't take a genius to figure out what had just happened to her. At that moment, Melanie Greyson, who was hiding in a corner with a cruel and twisted smile, had her phone in her hands and was taking pictures of Vania in her terrible state. Now, she just needed to hand these pictures off to the reporters and Vania would never be able to show her face to the Greyson Family ever again! It was only after Vania was long gone that Melanie leisurely walked to the room and swiped a key card to enter before she turned the lights on with a snap. The man on the bed was still in a deep sleep when she went inside. Waving the murky air in disgust with one hand, Melanie threw a card onto the man's body with the other. "You did well. There's 30,000 on this card." At this moment, the man flipped over and his handsome features were revealed before Melanie's eyes just when she was about to leave, which caused her eyes to widen in shock. H-He's Hanson Luke?! The head of Luke Corporation, a proud and cruel yet extremely capable man who stood on the highest peak of Hillsworth! How did he get into this room? Why did that b*tch, Vania, hit the jackpot?! … Eight months later, in the ward of a top hospital, a big-bellied Vania rested on the bed. Her eyes were gentle as she looked at her large stomach, her hands gently caressing it. After she had been set up by Melanie that night, her fiancé canceled their engagement and she was also chased out from the Greyson Residence with nowhere else to call home. Everyone trusted Melanie, and nobody was willing to believe that Vania had actually been framed by her seemingly innocent sister. That day, she lost everything—her lover, her family, and her home. Her world had been completely flipped upside down. All of a sudden, she fell under the weather one day, only to find out that she was pregnant upon going for a checkup. The doctor informed her that she was having quintuplets, which was an extremely rare phenomenon. Although it was an accident and she didn't even know who their father was, she was left with nothing except her children. Hence, she decided to give birth to these five innocent lives and swore to try her best to take care of her babies. Slam! The door of the ward was thrown open. At the sight of the newcomer, Vania subconsciously protected her swollen stomach and asked sharply, "Melanie? Who let you in? Get out now." An unfazed Melanie walked over to the hospital bed, her hips swinging from left to right arrogantly. There was a triumphant smile on her face as she boasted, "Oh, please don't be angry, my lovely sister. It really wasn't easy to locate you. I'm here to give you some good news." Vania's anger did not scare Melanie, but merely added to her glee instead. "Dad has already transferred all of the stocks in your name to me. I'm now the young lady of the Greyson Family, and I can enjoy all the riches and power that I want." Moments after saying that, Melanie paused and clicked her tongue at Vania. "Still, Vania, you've really fallen off the wagon. Not only did you sleep with a random man, you're even bearing his children now. Tsk, tsk… How pitiful." Vania's eyes were cold as Melanie's words could not disrupt her mental state at all. "Are you done? If you are, get lost." "Hmph." Melanie threatened with disdain, "You're no longer the young lady of the Greyson Family, so shove that proud attitude of yours away. Oh, there's still one more thing I should tell you…" She condescendingly looked down at Vania as she confessed, "In order to get your wealth, that day's incident was planned by Dylan and me." This sentence successfully broke Vania's guard. "What did you say? I don't believe you! Dylan would never do that to me—" "Ah!" Her sudden mood swings caused an unbearable pain to rip through her stomach. "It hurts… My stomach hurts…" As Melanie looked at Vania's swollen stomach, an indecipherable glint flashed past her eyes. Soon, the delivery room was filled with the cries of babies. A nurse brought two babies to Melanie, who was waiting outside, and announced, "Miss Greyson, Vania gave birth to septuplets. What shall we do with the other five babies?" "Septuplets?" "Yes. Two of them were obstructed during our previous tests, so we didn't notice them until the delivery." Melanie's eyes flashed. "Does Vania know?" "She doesn't. She's still unconscious at the moment." An evil smile curled Melanie's lips as she took the crying infants into her arms and ordered, "Take care of the other five babies. If you do it well, I'll award you." "Yes, Miss Greyson."

CHAPTER TWO

Chapter 2 The IP Address Leads to Your House

Five years later, in the Finance Department of Luke Corporation, the temperature was as freezing as the North Pole. "Firewall Number Two has been invaded." "Firewall Number Three has been invaded." … "All the firewalls have been invaded…" Standing in the office was Hanson Luke, his handsome face brooding in anger as though there were a storm cloud hanging over his head. The head of the IT Department walked up to him fearfully and reported, "P-President Luke, the firewalls have been invaded, and they've taken 10 million from our accounts." The moment those words were uttered, the temperature in the office dropped even further. "Track their IP address!" "Yes, sir!" Not long later, Hanson received another report. "The IP address is located in Haling Villa, and the owner's name is Vania Greyson." "Vania Greyson?" At the same time, in Luke Corporation's parking lot, a woman wearing a chiffon shirt and slacks exited a car and walked toward the entrance with an imposing aura. "Get the Legal Affairs Department to go through President Ross' contract, and put the operating statements for this quarter on my desk. We'll talk about the rest later. I'm entering Luke Corporation now." After hanging up the phone, Vania looked up at the formidable building before her. After straightening her clothes, she walked toward the reception desk in heels. "Good morning. I'm the President of Galaxy Corporation, and I have an appointment with President Luke." The current Vania was confident and bright, and the calm and steady aura that radiated off her made it difficult for one to look away. Now, she was no longer the Vania who let herself be bullied five years ago. Although the events of five years ago deeply traumatized her, she did not fall into ruin because of it, but embarked on the path of design instead. Her talent in design allowed her to successfully save a huge amount of money for the first time. Three years ago, she used this money to establish Galaxy Corporation. After days and nights of hard work, the company continued to grow in strength, and it was now at the top of the design industry in Hammond, gaining absolute power over everyone else. Currently, she wanted to expand the company's foreign market, and Luke Corporation was coincidentally looking for a business partner in design. This was undoubtedly a good chance for her. "Please wait for a moment." The receptionist went through a list of appointments, then made a call to Larry Clark after confirming the appointment. "Mr. Clark, President Greyson of Galaxy Corporation has arrived. Is President Luke available?" Larry glanced at Hanson, who was reading through Vania's information with a dark expression, and asked in a soft voice, "President Luke, the President of Galaxy Corporation, Vania Greyson, is here." "She's the one?" Hanson's eyes narrowed, his stare never leaving the information on the document. "Yes, she's the Vania who broke through our firewalls…" Larry subconsciously wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Do you want to meet her, President Luke?" "Yes." Hanson placed down the documents in his hand, his lips curling upward wickedly. He wanted to see what this woman was planning by hacking into his account then coming over to talk about a partnership. "Yes, President Luke." Upon entering the President's office, the first thing Vania saw was the man behind the mahogany table. His figure was tall and slender, and his handsome features were cold, his gaze distant. His thin lips were pursed, making it difficult to grasp what he was thinking, while the noble and mighty air that surrounded him added to his daunting aura. Vania had known since long ago that Hanson was blessed in both looks and skills and was intimidating. Still, she couldn't help but draw a sharp breath upon seeing him in person. Both his face and his aura were undoubtedly above average, but she couldn't shake the thought that she had seen this man before. Meanwhile, Hanson was taken aback by the woman who had walked in as well. She had a voluptuous and curvy figure while her long hair cascaded down her back, and her pale skin made her alluring eyes stand out even more. However, upon a closer look, she was regal and elegant, as though she were an unattainable object that could only be seen but not to be touched. As she approached him, a scent of roses wafted off her body. It felt strangely familiar to him. However, he regained his senses with a jolt when he remembered what she had done, and spoke up indifferently. "Miss Greyson?" At his voice, Vania snapped out of her thoughts. She plastered a polite smile and extended her hand toward him. "Nice to meet you, President Luke. I'm Vania Greyson, the head of Galaxy Corporation. When I saw that Luke Corporation was looking for a business partner in design, I thought that we would be suitable for the job…" Although Vania had prepared a lot for this meeting, Hanson interrupted her coldly without giving her a chance to elaborate. "Luke Corporation has never accepted any business partners with problems in their character." "Problems?" The smile on Vania's face stiffened, and she slowly withdrew her hand. "What do you mean by that, President Luke?" Hanson narrowed his eyes and studied the seemingly clueless woman before him. "Don't you know it yourself, Miss Greyson?" "I don't." Meeting his sharp, inky eyes, Vania replied fearlessly and without hesitation, "Galaxy Corporation has always had the best reputation in the industry, and we've never worked with Luke Corporation in the past. Besides, it's my first time meeting you, President Luke. There couldn't be any grudges between us, could it?" Hanson scoffed coldly. "I'm curious about that as well. Since you don't have any grudges with me, Miss Greyson, why did you hack into Luke Corporation's firewalls and take 10 million away from my accounts?" Although this amount of money was not even worth mentioning to him, these actions were undoubtedly disrespectful to Luke Corporation, and disrespectful to him as well! His company's firewalls were set up by top technicians, so who on Earth could be skilled enough to break through their heavy defenses and steal his funds? Hearing that, Vania was completely stunned. She was certain that she didn't make any orders for something like this, and retorted, "President Luke, how could you be so sure that it was my people who did that?" Hanson immediately tossed a stack of documents over. "The IP address all leads to your house." Vania could only hear a buzzing sound in her ears as she suddenly came to a realization.
