Chapter 40: Uncovering Clues
Maya's eyes sparkled with determination. "We need to find out what they're hiding," she said, her voice firm.
Chase nodded, his jaw clenched. "I've been trying to hack into our families' servers, but their security is too strong."
Maya's mind raced. "I think I can help with that," she said, a plan forming in her mind. "My sister, Sophia, has access to our family's system. If we can get her on our side, she might be able to help us."
Chase's eyes widened. "That's a risk. If she finds out what we're doing, she'll tell your father."
Maya hesitated, knowing Chase was right. But she also knew Sophia's soft spot for her. "I'll talk to her," Maya said. "See if I can convince her to help us."
Chase nodded, his expression grim. "Be careful. We don't know who we can trust."
Maya took a deep breath, steeling herself for the challenge ahead. She would convince Sophia to help them, no matter what it took.
