Looking at the card in her hands, Luna instantly felt a chill down her spine. She could not be more familiar with the handwriting on the card. Aura was once an uncultured woman with terrible handwriting. Later, Luna advised her she needed to train herself to write beautifully to match her looks. So, Luna bought her some tracing paper, supervising her as she practiced writing every day. Aura’s beautiful and neat handwriting was achieved with Luna’s help. And now, this elegant cursive which was the product of Luna’s hard work and effort appeared before her eyes again in such a manner. “What’s wrong?” Watching as Luna stared at the card without, still as a statue, Joshua frowned and walked toward her. Immediately, he saw the words on the card. The crease between his eyebrows grew even deeper. He took out his phone. “Lucas, find out where the flowers Luna just received came from. And the person who placed the order…”“No.” Before Joshua could finish his sentence, Luna interrupted hi
Luna interrupted Joshua just in time. “Mr. Lynch.” She looked at him with a sneer on her face. “Did you forget that Fiona almost killed my son a few days ago? The dinner tonight is to celebrate the fact that both my son and I survived and escaped out of her hands. Do you think I would like to listen…about your past with Fiona?” At her words, Joshua’s confession that ‘actually Fiona is Nigel’s bone marrow donor’ stuck in his throat, never to see the light of day. He remained quiet for a minute, then laughed bitterly. “You’re right, this is not the right time. In the future, when the time is right, I will tell you the truth.” With that, he turned and took Nellie, who lay asleep on the bench, into his arms, and walked in the direction of the villa. “Don’t worry, I’ll be sleeping in the guest room tonight.” He paused. “I’m staying here…only because I missed the children too much.” Then, he lifted his legs and strode away.More than two months had passed since the day he asked Luna and t
Luna became silent once she heard Nigel’s words. A moment later, she bit her lip and looked at Nigel. “Anyone else besides Neil?”The little boy pondered her question for a while, then shook his head quietly. “No. Just Neil.” He preferred peace and quiet, and he had been critically ill for quite some time, besides his siblings, he had no other friends. Nellie had her heart set on jewelry design like her mother, she was not interested in hacking and such at all. That was why every time he designed a new code, he would share it with Neil. To tell the truth, Nigel knew that Neil was not really interested in such dry and dull topics, but he was so gentle and understanding, he knew his brother needed someone to share his joy with, so every time he would pay full attention to learning such skills. As such, even though Neil himself was not a highly skilled hacker, he mastered the techniques that Neil taught him until he understood them like the back of his hand. “I don’t think he’s Neil.
If the bodyguards were being honest, then the boy that they saw that day should have been Neil.Luna closed her eyes, lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She still could not accept the fact that Neil had been helping Aura. Because Theo told her that Neil just lost his memories, in essence, he was still the same boy. Besides, when Neil saw her walking in the pouring rain, he even sent her home on his own initiative. When she was locked up in the asylum, he also contacted her. If he was really brainwashed by Fiona and turned evil, why did he do all this? If he was not brainwashed by her… Then the hacker that Nigel fought against and the fact that the bodyguards said they saw Nigel could not be explained. No matter how hard she tried, Luna could not figure it out. In the end, she could only convince herself temporarily that the hacker Nigel met might be under Aura’s employment, or it might just be a coincidence that he tricked Neil and stole his techniques. A
At Nellie’s words, Joshua instantly grew silent. A long while later, he looked at her seriously. “You…really hope that Daddy can make Mommy stay?”“Of course!" Nellie pursed her lips. “How can there be children who don’t want their parents to be together forever? Besides,” The little girl sniffed, “even though you did something very bad…but when Nigel returned home from Yellowstone Village, he told me that you and Mommy still love each other. To save Nigel and Mommy, you almost fell off the cliff and died. To stop you from falling off the cliff, Mommy clutched onto your hand tightly, refusing to let go. In the end, she was so tired she fainted…”Nellie raised her head, her pair of bright, jewel-like eyes stared fixedly at her father. “Isn’t this like a fairy tale where the prince and princess fall in love with each other?” Joshua laughed at the little girl’s serious expression. He lifted his lips and raised his hand and pinched her cheek, as if he had made up his mind. “Then…should
With that, he lifted his legs, walked to the dining table, and sat down. “It’s been a while since I’ve had a proper breakfast.” Especially…breakfast prepared by her.Luna smiled awkwardly and also headed to the dining table. “Then you should eat more.”“There’s something you need my help with?” He lowered his head, digging into his food as he asked casually. He knew her too well. Her cold attitude toward him last night was her true feelings. Last night she was still taunting and mocking him, and now this warm and enthusiastic treatment meant that she definitely had a favor to ask of him. Seeing as her true motives were exposed, she coughed lightly and sat down opposite him. “You’re right, I do need your help.” Since he had already guessed, there was no point in hiding any further. “I want to meet the few bodyguards that were guarding Fiona the day she was released. I would also like to watch the hospital’s CCTV recording from that day.” The bodyguards on duty that day were all
“Sir.” Lucas’ helpless voice drifted over the phone. “We got the hospital’s CCTV recording from that day, but…” He remained silent for a moment, then finally sighed, “That afternoon, the hospital’s surveillance system was attacked by a hacker, many of the hard drives were destroyed, and the portion of the recording that you wanted…was amongst one of the destroyed hard drives. Therefore…the CCTV recording from that day is now nothing but a long list of unintelligible codes.”Joshua narrowed his eyes. “Take a photo of the codes and send them to me.” “Yes, sir.” Then, Lucas took a deep breath and said, “Sir, the CCTV recordings are lost for the time being but I contacted the bodyguards who were on duty that day. Do you want them to go to Orchard Manor or Blue Bay Villa?” “They don’t need to go anywhere.” Joshua frowned, his voice sounding low and indifferent as he said, “Tell them to get back to work, I don’t need to see them anymore.”Since the other party attacked the hospital’s
“Mr. Lynch, do you know a highly-skilled hacker?” He still remembered during their face-off, how the other hacker almost destroyed all of his security systems within an hour. If he did not come up with an emergency plan in the nick of time and switch his IP address, he would have been discovered immediately! That hacker was working for Joshua! Joshua’s hand that was feeding the spoon into his mouth paused in mid-air. “Hacker?” He lifted his eyes and glanced at his son faintly. “No.” “I’m sure you do!” The little boy bit his lip, his dark, obsidian eyes stared fixedly at Joshua. “I encountered him once, he’s extremely skilled! I was no match for him! Mr. Lynch, even though I don’t know the contents of the CCTV recording that was destroyed, if you ask that hacker, he might be able to retrieve the lost recordings! Because my code did not destroy the recordings, the recordings were merely hidden!” With that, he fell silent for a while then lifted his head. “It’ll be even better if yo
