When Lucas and Layla saw Julia busy with work, they sneaked into their room hand-in-hand and closed the door behind them.Layla asked, "Lucas, have you seen Daddy?"Lucas shook his head ."Forget about him. He's a massive scumbag. We don't want a daddy like him. Mommy will find us an even better daddy."Layla was confused. "Can we just get daddies as we like?"Lucas said proudly, "Of course we can!"Layla smiled. "Then, I want a tall, handsome daddy who can make strawberry cakes, tell stories, and take us to amusement parks!"Lucas held his chin and quipped, "Most importantly, he has to love Mommy."Unfamiliar with the concept of a father, the two children conspired to find an ideal father for themselves.…In the afternoon, Xander returned to the hotel after finishing his work. When he entered the door, he asked Julia about Lucas and Layla's behavior in the morning and if they had done anything bad.Since Julia had promised Lucas to hide what happened in the morning from Xand
Lucas' and Layla's eyes lit up when they heard Xander's words. They left behind their things and hugged Xander's legs, shouting, "I love you, Uncle Xander! You're the best!"…Meanwhile, since the afternoon, someone discovered a problem with the company's check-in system at Holt Jewelry, and no one could unlock the access control. No matter who tried to swipe their time cards, they could only see a picture of a cartoon pig making a face on the screen. The HR department also couldn't log into the system because their account and passwords became invalid.Holt Jewelry was now in chaos. The employees couldn't enter or leave the company. It was almost time to get off work, so how were they supposed to go home?News of this issue soon reached Jordan. He knocked on the door of the CEO's office with several documents in his hands. "Mr. Holt, someone has hacked into our company's access system. We can't unlock the access control."Thaddeus looked at Jordan sharply. "Who's behind this?"
Thaddeus then returned to the interface before and keyed in his answers again. "The woman I like the most: Jessamine Patton.""Her favorite food: Prawns.""Her best skill: Collecting Jewelry."When he hit enter, that annoying cartoon pig appeared on the screen again. "Congratulations, you have zero correct answers! You have one more chance! Hahaha!"Thaddeus was so angry that he didn't know what to say. At this time, the sun was setting. Working hours were over, but everyone was stuck in the building and couldn't leave. Some people had already expressed their unhappiness at this ordeal.Some employees were in a hurry to pick up their children, some had appointments with friends, and some had appointments with clients. Complaints spread throughout the company. Thaddeus rubbed his temples. "Tear down the doors first."He knew he couldn't get the correct answers by the end of the day. His employees had to eat and get off work. He couldn't keep them in the building all night.Jord
As a tech nerd, Corvus had zero skills in coaxing his girlfriend since he dealt with computers the most. Although he no longer needed to write codes, coding was still his hobby. He relied on his skills to make a fortune and become one of the wealthiest men around. He said, "Come on, babe. Don't be upset. I'll buy you a handbag later."Sophia snarled, "The handbags you buy are terrible! The staff at home think so, too!"Corvus rubbed his temples. "Then, what do you want me to do?"After all, Sophia had everything she needed. Corvus' considerate attitude made her relent. "Fine, I'll drop this. But if you ever dare be a disloyal scumbag like Thaddeus Holt, I won't ever show you mercy like his unlucky wife."Corvus promised, "I'm my own person. Over the years, we realized that our views in business align more. We won't judge his family affairs. Mr. Holt isn't as heartless as the public claims he is. Things have been hard for him since his wife died four years ago."As the two of the
"Where is he?" Thaddeus asked.Corvus replied, "What a coincidence! He's in Zenville. According to the map, he's in the Museum of Science and Technology."Thaddeus clenched his fists. "Can I keep this map on the entire time?"Corvus nodded and said, "As long as you don't turn the laptop off, you can keep this map on and watch Fyrewall's whereabouts."Thaddeus seemed to have made a decision. He took the laptop from Corvus and said, "Thank you, Corvus."He returned to the car with the laptop in his arms. Then, he started the car and drove to the Museum of Science and Technology, making a few calls along the way. It took him 20 minutes to arrive. Jordan had already arrived and was waiting outside the door with several bodyguards in tow. "Mr. Holt, is that guy really in this museum?"Jordan looked at the laptop with curiosity. On the map, it showed that Fyrewall was in the Museum of Science and Technology.Thaddeus replied, "Mr. York helped track him down. He can't be wrong. Get o
Lucas temporarily turned off his watch to stop Thaddeus from tracking him down. When he returned to the hotel, he whined that he was sleepy and quickly went to the bathroom, locking the door behind him.He turned on his laptop and tapped away on his keyboard. He soon found that Holt Jewelry had fortified their system's defense and set up several firewalls. However, Lucas knew that he could break through them. It was only a matter of time. He wanted to make his scumbag of a father miserable and help his mother get revenge.…Meanwhile, Fyrewall's position on Thaddeus' map constantly appeared and disappeared. Thaddeus and his group couldn't track him down after a while. They stopped at the roadside and stared at the laptop.When the red dot showed up on the map again and remained fixed in one location, the bodyguards rolled up their sleeves excitedly. "We'll get him this time!"They started their cars again and moved toward Fyrewall's location. As they closed the distance, they be
Upon seeing that Thaddeus' cigarette addiction had acted up again, Jordan kicked Colin's back and yelled, "Didn't you hear Mr. Holt's words? Are you the hacker?"His question confused Colin. How could an old man like him know such things? Even when he had to make a digital document, he had to ask for his secretary's help.Colin sputtered, "Mr. Holt, I'm not a hacker!"Thaddeus had figured out that Colin wasn't the hacker. He knew what was usually on that old man's mind. All he could do was be opportunistic when doing business, but he was still far from being a top-tier businessman.Thaddeus asked, "Do you have anyone else in this home?"Colin's eyes wandered, and he replied weakly, "N-No. I'm the only one here."Thaddeus let out a puff of smoke and motioned to his bodyguards to search the house.The five men immediately searched the house. However, before they finished searching the first floor, they heard the sound of something falling from the bedroom on the second floor.Jor
The teenager looked between Jordan and Thaddeus. When she saw Colin, who was tied up and beaten, she mustered her courage. She explained, "I'm a student at Hollowcrest High, but since my family is poor, I have to work part-time in a hotel. That was when that man brought me here. He threatened me and said that if I didn't comply, he would take nude pictures of me and put them at the gates of my school. "He wanted to send them to my classmates and teachers and make them expel me, but I can't let that happen. I'm about to take the college entrance examination soon."The teenager shed tears as she told them her story. She looked terrified, and it was clear that Colin had threatened her. Otherwise, an underage woman like her wouldn't be fooling around with an old fox like Colin.Thaddeus said bluntly, "Call the police. He needs to be behind bars, no matter how long it takes."Thaddeus wasn't a busybody, but he would still take action upon encountering someone doing despicable things.
