That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Chapter 71: What a Shame



The Thornton Group found itself in a state of stagnation as a persistent virus plagued the company throughout the morning. Within the technical department, occasional outbursts of frustration emanated from Emma, the director.

“Mr. Thornton,” Joshua’s voice cut through the tension, reaching Emma’s ears.

Emma swiftly composed herself upon hearing his voice, lowered her gaze, and greeted the person entering the door, “Dad, why have you come here?”

Jacob Thornton’s serious expression filled his square face. “What? Haven’t you solved the virus yet?”

The head of the technical department, who had endured Emma’s rebukes all morning, nervously nodded and apologized, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. “Mr. Thornton, we’ve been giving it our all, but this virus is incredibly formidable. Every time we’re on the verge of cracking it, a new challenge emerges, creating an endless loop…”

“So, you’re saying you can’t handle it?” Jacob inquired, his brow furrowing.

The person in charge nodded anxiously.

“Useless!” Jacob chastised before turning to his daughter. “Given the circumstances, we’ll have to contact Victor’s team as soon as possible and see if they can assist.”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Leer’s Group boasted numerous top talents and possessed one of the world’s best network systems. Additionally, they had the second-ranked global computer genius on their team.

If even they failed to resolve the Thornton Group’s predicament, it seemed there would be no viable solution.

“No!” Emma immediately objected, her gaze shifting embarrassingly towards her computer screen.

Bringing in help from Leer’s Group would undoubtedly make Victor aware of their plight. The thought of such embarrassment weighed heavily on Emma.

Jacob reprimanded coldly, “You know what embarrassment is, yet you provoke those dubious people outside and end up being targeted! If we don’t solve this now, do you realize how much damage it will cause to the company? Is your reputation more important, or is the company more important?”

Feeling embarrassed, Emma bit her lip and eventually relented.

Jacob shot her a stern look before promptly calling Victor and requesting immediate assistance.

Victor, upon receiving the news, instructed Nathan to select a capable individual from the technical department to be sent to the Thornton Group.

Compared to the Thornton Group employees, the person Victor dispatched was significantly more skilled.

With a few keystrokes, the virus that had confounded everyone throughout the morning showed signs of being cracked.

Meanwhile…

After confirming the well-being of her two little boys, Olivia returned to her study.

Sebastian was truly engrossed in watching the stock market with his laptop.

After watching for a while, a series of code suddenly appeared on the screen.

“Ethan, look!” Sebastian called out, captivated by the scrolling code.

Seeing the code scrolling on the screen, Ethan’s eyes lit up.

It was the program he had set up, and if someone managed to crack the core program of the virus, the window would automatically pop up.

He hadn’t anticipated it would be cracked so soon.

It seemed the person on the other end possessed considerable skill.

Realizing this, Ethan couldn’t help but get excited. He took the laptop from Sebastian’s arms, and his fingers flew across the keyboard as he engaged in a battle with the person on the other end.

After half an hour, Ethan gradually ceased his actions.

“How did it go?” Sebastian asked, puzzled.

Ethan smiled with great enthusiasm, “It’s been cracked.”

Upon hearing this, Sebastian looked at his younger brother in surprise, “Then why are you so happy?”

Ethan nodded, not providing a direct answer. “That person is undoubtedly talented. It was exhilarating to spar with them. But I can confirm that they are not from the Thornton Group. They are far superior to that bunch of incompetents!”
