Remarriage Failed Again Today-Chapter 157: He and She... Do They Know Each Other?

Chapter 157: Chapter 157: He and She... Do They Know Each Other?

Stunned, everyone looked over as a short-haired girl burst in from outside, slamming the door shut with a BANG!

"Bro! Bro, can you hear me?!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Annoyed by the noise, Ashley Grant killed the music and flipped on the main lights. "I’m at SEVEN Bar, and my brother has me cornered! I’ve broken through the defense system. Come get me from the backyard!"

It was as if someone had hit the mute button on the room; it fell completely silent and was flooded with light.

After a moment of stunned silence, the crowd started murmuring in discontent. "Who is this girl? Who said she could come in?"

"I don’t know. I’ve never seen her before. She must have the wrong room."

"Fine, so she has the wrong room, but why turn on the lights? What is her problem?!"

Justin Summers stared at the young woman before him.

Her slightly wavy, short hair was a mess. Her face was flushed, her brows were knitted in a tight frown, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.

She had an innocent air that radiated a wild energy, yet beneath that wildness was a powerful, innate aura that couldn’t be concealed.

’A stunner. A once-in-a-century knockout!’

’Whoever she was, she was the final winner of his little "bride selection"!’

"Hey, beautiful. And you are...? Are you here to join..."

"Shut your mouth!"

Ashley Grant shoved Justin Summers aside. Spotting a computer at the bar, she crossed the room in a few quick strides, sat down, and began to work.

Someone approached her. "Hey, beautiful. I think you’re in the wrong place."

Ashley Grant slapped a check down on the counter with an air of command. Without looking up, she continued hacking into the system, her brow furrowed. "From this moment on, not a single sound."

The crowd was speechless.

Ryan Linton shot Ashley Grant a glance, his brows furrowing in annoyance. He got up and walked toward her.

’He hated it when people touched his computer.’

But as soon as he was standing behind her and saw what she was doing, his eyes widened in shock.

He watched as she used the latest techniques, her fingers flying across the keyboard as she typed out string after string of code to break into another system.

’She’s a hacker!’

’And a damned good one, too!’

’On par with him, even!’

After Ashley Grant typed the final line of code, the patch of woods outside the window suddenly transformed into an empty field!

"Okay."

A smile played on her lips. She snapped her fingers, then stood and walked toward the window.

’This bar belongs to Lucy Locke’s uncle. It’s the most exclusive bar in the entire country!’

’Good thing Lucy Locke had given her a rough idea of the layout, or she’d really be a goner tonight!’

But the moment she stood up, her gaze met Ryan Linton’s deep, probing eyes.

Ashley Grant froze for a second, then her eyes widened, and she shrieked with excitement, "Hey, pretty boy! What are you doing here!"

Ryan Linton was taken aback.

’Did he... know her?’

Just as Ashley Grant was about to say something, a violent POUNDING erupted at the door. "Miss, we know you’re in there! Come back with us. Please don’t make this difficult!"

Ashley Grant frowned, shooting a vicious glare at the door. There was no time to explain. She stuffed a business card into Ryan Linton’s pocket. "I’m Ashley Grant, a sophomore in Class 3 at Lynwood High School. Make sure you come find me!"

With that, she pulled Ryan Linton to her and kissed him hard. Then she let him go, grabbed a nearby chair, smashed the window with it, and leaped out!

At that exact moment, the bodyguards burst through the door and rushed to the window to see what had happened.

’This was the third floor!’

Ryan Linton and the others instinctively rushed to the window as well.

They saw Ashley Grant standing on a second-floor air conditioning unit. Then, in a series of nimble leaps, she used drainpipes and other AC units as footholds, finally landing steadily on her feet.

She moved with the agility of a panther.

"Go after her!"

The well-trained bodyguards began leaping out the window one after another.

Just as Ashley Grant was starting to panic, an imposing Harley-Davidson came roaring toward her from a short distance away. The rider shouted, "Ashley!"

"I’m here, Bro!" Ashley Grant yelled. The Harley skidded to a neat stop right in front of her, and she leaped gracefully onto the back.
