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.
Meanwhile, Lucas and Layla had already fallen asleep.Xander stood on the living room balcony. He was on a phone call with Jessamine. "Jessamine, the two kids are asleep. I plan to bring them to the aquarium and museum tomorrow, and we'll fly back to Hajera the day after that."Jessamine hadn't slept well while Layla and Lucas were on the Zenville trip with Xander. She kept having nightmares. "Xander, you didn't bump into him, right?"Xander was silent. Then, he replied, "We did, but he and the children probably didn't see each other. I'm extremely cautious about this, so don't worry."Jessamine felt frightened upon hearing his words. Her children actually crossed paths with Thaddeus in Zenville, a big city with several million people. The chances of them crossing paths were low.She said, "Xander, you have to keep Lucas in check. He has tons of tricks up his sleeve."Xander felt a headache at the mention of Lucas. He had a feeling that Lucas was hiding something from him. He alw
Charlie answered, "I'm not sure. I heard that he had pushed back a lot of important plans and flew to Hajera early in the morning. He must have something urgent to do."Xander couldn't figure out what that scumbag Thaddeus was planning. All of Holt Jewelry's businesses and partners were in the north of Crestia, so the latter had no reason to be in Hajera.Only those who planned to live in Hajera would buy a house there. So, what on earth was he up to?Xander said, "Inform all our property managers to tell Thaddeus that the houses are sold out if he ever drops by their offices. Keep an eye on him and tell me if he does anything suspicious.""All right, Mr. Patton," said Charlie.Many wealthy neighborhoods in Hajera were developed by the Patton family's real estate company. A person of Thaddeus' status wouldn't pay any mind to the more modest neighborhoods developed by obscure real estate companies.There was no way Xander would give Thaddeus a chance to settle down in Hajera.
