Chapter 18 Zachary Hacked The Computer âMommy, I want to watch you cook!â Gavin said softly, looking at her in eager anticipation.
Arissa smiled at him in return and said with a gentle voice, âSure. Sit down aside and donât stick close to me. Watch out for any oil splatters.â
âOkay!â Gavin was over the moon. He pulled a chair over and sat down obediently.
âWhy did you suddenly want to watch me cook?â Arissa asked.
âI want to accompany Mommy!â Gavin replied while his eyes were glued onto her.
Arissa was moved by his reply and smiled brightly.
Gavin did not get to watch for long before Oliver called him, âJasper, are you trying to slack off? You said that you would sweep the floor! Come out here and start sweeping!â
Gavin was startled. Oops, I forgot about that.
âMommy, Iâm leaving for a moment!â Gavin uttered. Arissa turned around and acknowledged him with a smile.
Gavin ran out and hurriedly started to sweep the floor. On the other hand, Oliver washed the mop and mopped the floor. Meanwhile, Zachary tidied the rooms along with Jesse.
The four children worked together and busied themselves with chores. Arissa was pleased to see them so obedient at such a young age. Without their help to do some of the chores, she would have been overwhelmed.
Half an hour later, the four children lounged on the sofa watching animations. Oliver was browsing through the many channels available.
Suddenly, a news title caught Jesseâs attention. The child tugged Oliverâs shirt with excitement upon seeing someone that had a similar appearance to them. âGo back to the previous channel!â
Oliver changed back the channel, but it was too late. Jesse was upset. âWhy is it gone?â
âWhatâs the matter, Jesse?â Zachary turned his head and asked.
âI think I saw Daddy just now!â Jesse looked at him in eagerness. That person looks exactly like my brothers.
Zachary was dumbstruck.
Gavin also looked at Jesse. It is common for Daddy to appear on television programs, but he usually hates to do so. Why did I not notice him even though I was watching the television too?
Jesse tried to convince them. âThe person was tall and looked handsome. Just like Oliver! It must be our daddy!â
Oliver scratched the back of his head and frowned. âWhy did I not see it?â
âDaddy was standing at the back!â Jesse described.
There was no doubt that the person Jesse saw was Benjamin. It was an opening ceremony. The camera happened to catch him in their footage for a second. It was a mere second, and the media did not talk about him directly.
âYou donât even know who it is, and youâre already claiming him as your daddy!â Oliver poked Jesseâs head.
Jesse dodged him belatedly. âDonât you want to know?â
âI do, but there are billions of people out there. Besides, the news didnât mention the eventâs location!â Oliver pursed his lips. They didnât even know if their father was dead or alive.
Zachary and Gavin stared at each other, debating if they should tell the others the truth.
âThatâs enough. Change the channel already. Donât you want to watch television?â Zachary chimed in. Oliver immediately changed the channel, and Jesse hugged a cushion happily. The latterâs favorite animation was on television. âItâs starting! Itâs starting!â
Arissa heard Jesseâs joy from the kitchen and peeked at them. She saw the four siblings watching television together and continued checking if the soup was ready.
Zachary fished out his phone and found Benjaminâs phone number through Gavinâs phone. He then sent Benjamin a message.
Gavinâs eyes widened. He asked softly, âWhat are you doing?â
âKeep quiet!â Zachary shot Gavin a look and glanced toward Oliver and Jesse.
Gavin silently looked at him in return and noticed that Zachary was sending a message as Arissa to request working with Benjamin.
Gavin pulled Zacharyâs sleeve and whispered into Zacharyâs ear, âYou could have just asked me to recommend Mommy!â
Zachary was doubtful. âCan Mommy join the company without his approval?â
Gavin frowned and decided to discuss it with Ethen.
Benjamin soon received a message through his private number. He was confused as he opened the message.
The message read: My name is Arissa York. I regrettably had to leave earlier according to the wishes of your fiancée. Mr. Graham, if you have yet to find a suitable candidate, please consider giving me a chance. I am confident that I can handle the companyâs job well!
He narrowed his eyes as he read the message. How did this woman get my private number? Hmph, does she have other motives? Is she coming back to Graham Group because she hit a snag elsewhere? If she really wanted to join Graham Group, she shouldnât have left without leaving any explanation. He texted back: No way!
Zachary read Benjaminâs reply and became furious. How dare he reject Mommy without giving it any thought.
He typed another message and sent it in a blink of an eye: You will regret this!
Benjaminâs expression turned dark after seeing the reply. Iâve never regretted anything in my whole life.
Gavin also saw Benjaminâs text and sighed. Why doesnât Daddy want to give Mommy a chance? Sheâs extremely talented!
Zachary rushed to his room, and Gavin followed him.
Oliver did not understand why they were in such a hurry.
He followed them into the room and saw Zachary turning on his laptop. âWhat are you doing?â
âShh. Iâm going to teach someone a lesson!â Zachary pressed his lips together.
Gavin could guess what his plans were. Zachary could hack someone within seconds just by obtaining their address. His superb hacking skills still amazed Gavin.
Oliver settled down behind Zachary and asked Gavin, âWho is Zachary dealing with?â
Gavin replied, âIâll answer that later!â
Zachary cut off the electric supply at Benjaminâs mansion. It was evening, and the mansion needed electricity to light up the area.
The More the Merrier ï¤Chapter 17 EX-husband Groveling to Me ï¤Chapter 730 Let Victor Shoot For You It turned dark at the mansion, so Edwin swiftly headed downstairs to check the electric switches just to find out that they were fine. Therefore, he called a repairman to fix the issue.
Benjamin frowned as he exited his study. âWhatâs going on?â
âThe electrical circuit might be broken. Weâll repair it as soon as possible!â Edwin had no clue what the problem was.
Benjamin was worried that Jasper would be afraid of the dark, so he rushed upstairs to Jasperâs room. It was at this moment that the computer in his study was hacked.
Benjamin saw that Jasper was fast asleep and headed back downstairs.
Then, he noticed that someone had messed with his computer. The keys were not working at all. With this, he realized that the blackout was not due to pure coincidence.
âHehe!â Suddenly, there was a burst of creepy laughter from the computer. âYou can never catch me!â
On the screen, a few chicks were running around, mocking him.
It made Benjamin think of Arissa. Haha. She has a few tricks up her sleeve. Is she doing this out of spite because I rejected her?
Anger surged within him as his face turned icy cold. Now, he wanted to get to know Arissa better.
He took out his phone and dialed her number, but no one picked up.
