Chapter 72: How Dare You Help the Bad Woman
Sebastian, although not as proficient in computers as Ethan, possessed a fair understanding of them.
The Thornton Group had made no progress in the morning, but now there was suddenly some activity, even putting Ethan at a disadvantage.
It became evident that the individuals on the other side were truly extraordinary and certainly not affiliated with the Thornton Group.
The morning had provided ample time for the Thornton Group to seek external assistance.
“Perhaps… they’re from Leer’s Group,” Sebastian speculated.
Leer’s Group was known for its talented technical team.
Furthermore, if any of those women were truly Sophia’s mother, it gave the Thornton Group a strong reason to seek help from Leer’s Group.
Upon hearing this, Ethan furrowed his brow, his lips pursed with resentment.
He was aware that one of those women was Sophia’s mother, but his father was aiding that malicious woman in mistreating his mother.
No, he was determined to teach them a lesson!
Filled with resolve, Ethan once again picked up his laptop, his fingers flying across the keyboard, his young face displaying determination.
Meanwhile, at the Thornton Group, the employees of the technical department stood by their supervisor’s desk, eagerly watching the expert’s operation.
They could only see the code continuously flickering on the screen, and soon, the cartoon characters on the company’s computers disappeared one by one.
“Is it resolved?” Emma asked excitedly as she stood up, about to express her gratitude to the person. However, she saw a sudden tension in their expression.
For a moment, Emma’s heart sank as well.
“In theory, it should be. But…” The person furrowed their brow, watching as code began to automatically appear on the screen.
Compared to the previous virus, this string of code was much simpler.
As the code improved, a line of text appeared on the screen: “Are you from Leer’s Group?”
The hacker was actually engaging in a conversation with them.
The expert hesitated for a moment before replying, “Yes.”
The code on the screen resumed its movement. “How dare you help the bad woman! I’m angry!”
The conversation on the screen disappeared, replaced by an attack far more complex than the previous virus.
“What’s going on? Who are these people?” Emma’s face turned pale with anger as she saw their conversation.
Caught off guard, the expert faced the sudden assault and disregarded her, immediately engaging in a battle with the hacker.
However, something about their previous conversation felt off no matter how he thought about it.
The opposing hacker’s technical skills were highly advanced, yet their tone seemed somewhat childish…
…
In the afternoon, Nathan saw that the person they had sent to the Thornton Group hadn’t returned yet and hesitated as he sought Victor’s approval. “Sir, our person sent to the Thornton Group hasn’t returned. Should we send someone else to check?”
Victor coldly refused, “Wait until the Thornton Group speaks up.”
Every time the Thornton Group spoke up, it meant owing him a favor.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Nathan agreed and then asked, “The high-level meeting in the afternoon will start in ten minutes. Are you going there now?”
Victor nodded and rose to make his way to the conference room.
Nathan followed closely behind him.
Along the way, he saw Victor occasionally taking out his phone to glance at it.
Even during the meeting, Victor unusually kept his phone nearby, his attention divided between the screen and the proceedings.
Nathan was filled with confusion. “Sir, is there something important today?”
Finally enduring until the end of the meeting, Nathan cautiously asked the question.
As soon as the words left his lips, he noticed Victor’s brow furrow, a hint of irritation seeping into his expression.
“No,” Victor responded coldly.
Having spoken, he retrieved his phone once more and glanced at it, but no calls had come through.
Observing this, Victor’s face grew colder, his displeasure evident. He had ordered the expulsion of those two children from the kindergarten, and by now, that woman should have become aware of the news.
However, she had displayed no reaction whatsoever.
