"Rowan, leave this company if you make that expression again!"Evan tugged at his tie in frustration. Rowan was remorseful. "Mr. Jordan, I apologize for mishandling the company and causing a significant issue.""How's the data transfer progressing?" Evan asked.Feeling profound guilt, Rowan admitted, "Mr. Jordan, two confidential documents have been stolen. It's my fault for being slow in transitioning to the other compan—"Evan furiously interrupted, "I don't want your apology; I want to know what the IT department is doing!"Rowan explained, "I've gone through several batches of hackers, and now we have the best ones on board. However, the opposing party's capabilities may surpass our assessment."Evan retorted, "Are you making excuses? Do you want to be fired, Rowan?"Shocked, Rowan clarified, "That's not my intention, sir. The opposing party is just too formidable."Evan asked, "Who will bear this responsibility? Can you handle two billion-dollar projects?"Rowan panicke
Reuben reassured, "Don't worry, sir. We've already connected with the best security company in Muricia. They will help you resolve any danger, Mr. Jordan."Evan instructed, "Report to me immediately if you find any suspicious individuals.""Yes, sir."Reuben and Julian exited the office.The office returned to quiet, and Caroline came to Evan's mind.Evan pondered, 'Caroline hasn't replied to my message. Could it be that she doesn't want to talk to me? It's 1:30 p.m. in Muricia, so it should be morning there. Is Caroline not awake yet?'Unable to resist, Evan grabbed his phone and called Caroline.However, Neil was currently holding Caroline's phone.He pulled out the phone and checked the screen when it rang. After a brief moment of contemplation, he answered Evan's call."Caroline…" Evan's hoarse voice echoed.Neil's expression turned cold. "It's me."Evan was slightly startled. "Why do you have Caroline's phone?"Neil made up a poor excuse. "Carol left her phone at the b
Evan furrowed his brow. "Is there a risk of the company's information being exposed once the other party becomes aware of the situation?"The deputy head replied, "Yes, but it will be very difficult to notice under such circumstances.""Do it then," Evan commanded.Elon asked, "Mr. Jordan, aren't you worried about a significant theft of files and technologies if they notice it?"Evan smirked. "Has the opposing party ever breached our firewall?"Elon assured, "If they breach it, Mr. Jordan, we can fix the firewall right away. It will take less than half a minute, so we won't lose much data. However, we won't be able to do anything during the two-minute gap.""Give it a try! There are always risks in everything. Can you guarantee that every decision you make will definitely bring you benefits?"Elon acknowledged, "I understand, sir. We shall go ahead with the plan with your support.""Hmm."-Yuliana observed the Aglaitian woman returning to the address after staking out the lo
Yuliana: [Okay, noted. I will send you the location whenever she stops.]Tyler: [Be careful, Aunt Yuliana.]Yuliana: [Don't worry!]As soon as Tyler put down the phone, he heard Axel heaving a sigh.Tyler looked over and asked, "What's going on?"Axel lay flat on the bed. "Stop searching, Ty. It's useless."Tyler was puzzled, and Liora looked at Axel curiously.Axel stared at the ceiling in exhaustion. "The model of this bullet is widely available from various sellers.""In theory, there shouldn't be too many bullets of the same model during the production of each batch," Tyler commented.Axel covered his eyes with his arms. "I have underestimated the carefulness of individuals on the dark web. They might intentionally distribute a shipment of goods to various sellers on purpose."Tyler frowned. "In other words, our effort in investigating this is futile?""Yes. In addition, there are buyers… It's impossible, Ty."Tyler wasn't discouraged. "It's fine if the lead is useless,
Liora thought, 'There's a dark mass on Uncle Kenny's forehead close to his eyes.'Liora sighed. "Forget it. I'm hungry and want to eat."The crowd didn't pay much attention to Liora's remark, but they were concerned about her well-being.Kenny discussed taking Liora to see an ophthalmologist later.Greta arrived after lunch and helped the children change into fresh clothes. She then put the dirty laundry in a bag before taking the children to the ICU with Kenny.Neil had been sitting outside the ICU entrance the whole time. Upon noticing the children's arrival, he stood up and asked, "Have you all had lunch?"Liora rubbed her belly. "Yes, Uncle Neil. Have you?"Neil nodded. "Aunt Greta brought me lunch, and I had some."Tyler was unable to see his mother due to his height, so he asked Kenny, "Uncle Kenny, can you carry me so I can see Mommy?"Kenny nodded, carrying Tyler to the window.Caroline was connected to a ventilator and various tubes, which remained out of Tyler's vie
Liora sensed Tyler's concern, so she didn't resist and allowed him to hold her."Okay, I won't cry anymore. I'll stay strong and wait for Mommy," she assured.Tyler responded with a thoughtful "Hmm."-At Muricia.Evan exited the company, accompanied by a few dozen bodyguards.Reuben walked beside him, sheltering him under a large, black umbrella.The passersby couldn't help but glance at the formidable lineup.A woman in a hat stared at Evan, then quickly fled upon recognizing him.Observing the fleeing figure, a vigilant bodyguard swiftly ordered, "Capture that woman!"The closest bodyguard chased and apprehended her, bringing her to Evan.Despite her struggles, the woman remained silent. Forced to stand before Evan, she lowered her head, avoiding eye contact.Evan closely examined her and exclaimed, "Paige?"Paige stiffened briefly, then replied, "You've mistaken me for someone else!"Reuben chuckled. "Ms. Watson, you've exposed yourself with your French."Annoyed, Pa
"There's no risk of infection as long as he's not with me. He'll have a happy and fulfilling family in the future, with adorable and healthy children."Evan sneered. "Everyone has the right to choose their own future. Your intention may seem good, but it's actually selfish.""Selfish? How am I selfish? I'm doing this for him!" Paige looked at him in astonishment."You claim you're doing it for him, but you've never considered his mood and wishes," Evan said with a sneer.Paige sniggered. "Is he willing to live with me, surrounded by medicine for the rest of his life? Will he endure his family's opposition for me and choose me at all times? Can he guarantee that we won't argue because of this issue once we're together?"Evan replied, "Firstly, your illness is not a result of your own actions. Alex is aware of that, so he won't argue with you. In fact, he will take care of you because of it."You may ask him in person for the other two questions. He is determined and willing to do
Evan went along with her. "No."Alex remained silent for a brief moment before finally speaking up. "Please tell me if you have any information about her.""Hmm.""Also, how's your situation there? When... are you coming back?" Alex took a deep breath, composing himself."A few more days. I can't be sure of the time to leave yet," Evan replied."Evan... frankly... Caroline..."The mention of Caroline tightened Evan's chest with anxiety. He sensed something was amiss with Alex's hesitation.Frowning, Evan asked, "What's going on with Carol?"Alex gnashed his teeth. "Nothing. It's just that if you don't come back, you might not be able to appease her in the future."Evan's expression turned solemn. "I will apologize to her properly, but she won't take my call nor reply to my text."Alex remarked, "I would ignore you, too."Evan was rendered speechless."Alright, I'm going inside now!" Alex said."Hmm."After ending the call, Evan found himself preoccupied with thoughts of C
