Nobody knew who had won in the race between Alden and Everett.
They just knew that after they competed for more than eight hours, they never talked about this since
then. Neither of them was happy nor unhappy.
But Alden indeed did not interfere with Everett and Ninianâs relationship anymore.
This battle would be considered an unsolved mystery in hacker history.
Many years later, Aldenâs son would inherit his career. The fourâyearâold boy would sit in front of the
computer, look at his father with admiration, and ask, âDaddy, have you lost before?â
âYes.â After remaining silent for a long time, Alden would say, âThat race was a tie, but he was younger
than me. So, it was also considered a loss for me.â
âWhoâs this person?â
Alden would tussle his boyâs head without answering.
When Nerola asked Alden in private why he refused to say that the person was Everett, he would narrow his menacing eyes slightly.
âOur son already admires that brat, Everett, now. If he knows that his father lost to that brat, will he still look up to me?â he said in a righteous manner.
He was very prideful.
When Nerola saw him looking so childish, she would smile and shake her head.
When they first met, she never thought that the cold and arrogant man would act shamelessly like that.
But it would be clearly too late for her to regret it.
She would already be controlled by the father and son.
Naturally, all of this happened later.
In Frica, Ninian soon received news from Everett, saying that Alden had been handled.
Ninian was surprised and happy as she looked at Melody and Harold.
Ever since Lana had gone to laugh at Harold that night, they had begun to get along in a very strange way.
The reckless Lana started dodging him. She dared not stare into Haroldâs eyes now.
Meanwhile, Harold also had changed his previous reckless and unrestrained demeanor. He seemed calm and steady now. He would even peek at Lana at the dining table from time to time, but he would not look at her for a long time. He would always peek at her before secretly looking away.
Ninian and Melody held their bowls of oatmeal and exchanged looks. They saw the nosiness in each otherâs eyes.
This time, after Harold finished his breakfast and went out to work, Melody and Ninian stopped Lana at the same time.
âLana, tell us honestly. Is there something going on between you and Hal?â
After Ninian received treatment for some time and felt relaxed, her voice recovered.
She teased Lana, while her gaze was full of mockery.
She initially thought that Lana would immediately deny and refute her.
Unexpectedly, the little girl who was always fearless instantly blushed. Her eyes were dodgy, and she
also muttered, âNo⦠no! Donât say nonsenseâ¦â
This time, Ninian was truly surprised. âDid you⦠reallyâ¦â
âNo! I didnât!â Lanaâs face was completely red. She immediately got up and ran to her room as if she
was escaping. âI⦠I still have something to do! Iâm not talking to you now!â
She went back to her room in a hurry, and she did not come out again after a long time.
Melody and Ninianâs expressions became serious.
Could it be that the two of them reallyâ¦
At night, Haroldâs two sisters blocked him at the corner of the wall while they interrogated him.
âNo, I really didnât!â Harold wanted to cry. âI swear I really didnât take huge advantage of her!â
âSo, did you take little advantage of her?â Ninianâs gaze was sharp.
