Chapter 634
Corinne did not understand why Ghostlord would suddenly stare at her like that.
‘Why is he looking at me like that? Did my mask happen to fall off?‘ She instinctively touched her face to make sure
the mask was still on it. Ghostlord’s deep, dark eyes suddenly sent alarm bells ringing in her head.
Corinne made sure she was well–disguised before coming to the conference. She paid
attention to every little detail including her eyes. She put on a pair of realistic -looking blue color contact lenses that
made her look like she was born with blue eyes.
Ghostlord kept staring at her for a good long while before turning his gaze away. For a moment there, he thought
Jade Rabbit’s eyes looked like Corinne’s but after taking a closer look, he discovered they were of a different color.
‘I’m overthinking. How can Jade Rabbit possibly be that little rascal?‘ After regaining his senses, he sighed

Corinne wanted to have a drink too but thought she should not since she was pregnant. Thus, she shook her head
and apologized, “I’m sorry but I can’t drink due to some personal reason. Is it okay if I drink tea instead?”
Even though Corinne’s voice was altered by the voice changer, Ghostlord could still tell she was in her early
twenties.
He smiled to show he understood. “Of course.”
“Thanks. Here’s to us having a happy divorce!” said Corinne with a smile. She then clinked her glass with his and
downed the content in one go.
‘A happy divorce?‘ Ghostlord chuckled softly to himself before downing the wine to drown out his pain.
They were two people in the same boat. Both of them tacitly stopped mentioning each other’s sad past and
changed the topic to hacking technology.
However, even though Ghostlord managed to follow Corinne’s words, he never once put down his wine glass.
Instead, he downed one glass of wine after another as though he was still saddened by the thought of his ex–wife
running off with another man.
At that moment, Corinne was regaling him with her latest discovery, something about a loophole found in the upper
management’s system, when she suddenly realized it was a long while before she received any acknowledgment
from Ghostlord.
She looked up and saw him slumped in his chair with his eyes closed. She stopped talking and tentatively called out
his hacker name, “Ghost lord?”
He did not reply to her nor did he move an inch.
‘Is he drunk?‘ Corinne could not tell for sure since he had his mask on. She got up, gave his body a light push, and
called out his hacker name again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe result was the same. Corinne lifted his gloved hand, pushed up his sleeve, pulled off his glove a little to reveal
his wrist, and put her finger on his pulse. With what little medical knowledge she had, she quickly confirmed
Ghostlord was fine, albeit a little drunk.
She looked at the empty wine bottle and empty whiskey bottle on the table and frowned. ‘No wonder he’s drunk! He
mixed his alcohol. He must be really sad about his cheating wife letting his guard down here. Isn’t he afraid
someone would find out who he is? Is it weird I find him kinda cute? I mean, he’s the most talented hacker here,
and yet he couldn’t even solve his relationship problem. Hmm, the question is what should I do now?‘
Due to Ghostlord being out for the count, Corinne could not ask him whether he came with any other people who
could bring him home. She stood there waiting for a while to see if anyone would come and claim him but nobody
did.
She became at a loss for what to do. It was not like she was close enough with Ghostlord to know where he lived
but then again, she could not leave him like that. What if someone came to take off his mask and found out who he
was? That would be as good as leaving him to die since there was a bounty on his head.
