Chapter 9 Messed-up Seniority
The next day was the day Camila agreed to treat Landonâs great-grandpa. That morning, Camila
waited at home until around 10 AM. However, she still heard nothing from him. After repeatedly
glancing at the time, she finally couldn't stand it anymore.
Thus, she took out her phone and gave him a call. âDo you still want me to treat your great-
grandpa? Can you act a little more reliably?â Landon sounded very rushed and busy on the other
side of the phone. âOf course, I want you to treat him! I've told my mom the situation, and she will
send somebody to get you. Camila, I'm counting on you to treat my great-grandpa's illness! I need
to go! Right now, I'm at the airport waiting to board my plane!â âHey, how can you leave just
because you want to leave? Have you settled South's schooling matters?â âRest assured, I've already
arranged everything. I've settled the admission procedures for his school. It's the Imperial
Kindergarten located in Summer City. You only need to show up there. I really can't talk to you
anymore; I'm about to board my plane.â Landon spoke extremely quickly, leaving Camila with no
chance to get a single word in. Then, he ended the call. After that, she became so depressed that
she wanted to murder somebody. What's up with him? He deceived me and brought me back to
this country. Then, he left just like that, going back to the States. âWhat's wrong, Mommy?â South
asked, lifting his head curiously. It was only at times like this that he resembled a six or seven-year-
old child. âUncle Landon deceived us and brought us back, but now he has gone back to the United
States all by himself.â Thus, he nodded in understanding. âLandon has never been a reliable person
and has done many other similarly unreliable things.â He blinked his large, innocent-looking eyes,
acting as if it had nothing to do with him. If Mommy finds out that I plotted this ruse, will she smack
my bottom? But, I want a daddy! Naturally, I will give priority to my biological daddy. Still, even
though Silas Nolan isn't all that great, he is wealthy and handsome. Most importantly, he is my
biological father! Just that fact alone is enough for me to list him as the top candidate to become
my daddy! Camila sighed, then patted his small head. âIn the future, you can joke around all you
want. But, Uncle Landon is younger than me by five years. You can't keep calling him Landon, can
you? Won't that mess up the seniority?â South felt a little speechless. I wonder who among us is the
one messing up the
seniority? My daddy is Landonâs uncle. If so, what's wrong with me calling him Landon then?
However, he didn't dare voice his opinion for fear of angering her. Hence, he obediently replied, âI
know, Mommy. He won't get angry at me for that.â As they were talking, a knock sounded on the
door. Thus, Camila hurriedly stood up and glanced at the video feed of the intercom. A woman
slightly over forty was standing outside with two bodyguards beside her. Opening the door, Camila
asked politely, âMay I know who you're looking for?â The woman outside was visibly taken aback.
Then, she took a step back and glanced at the house number again. âAre you Miss Brooklyn?â
"Yes, I am. And, you are?â
Upon hearing her confirmation, Jade Nolan immediately became friendly. âOh! Nice to meet you! I
am Landonâs mother. He told me to come over to pick you up. However, I didn't expect you to be so
young! Landon informed you about it, right? Old Man Nolan is sick, and because of that, Landon
asked me to come and find you.â
Camila smiled and replied, âNice to meet you, Mrs. Hunter. Yes, Landon has informed me about it.
Please, come inside.â
On the other hand, South facepalmed. What is with this seniority? Are you telling me Landon's
mother isn't on the same level as Mommy? In response, Jade hurriedly waved her hands. âMiss
Brooklyn, please don't trouble yourself. If you are ready, we can leave now.â Thus, Camila amiably
replied, âSure. Please wait a moment.â After saying that, she walked into her room and came out
with a black backpack. âLet's leave right now. Saving people is a priority.â âSure, sure; let's go,â Jade
said, leading the way out of the door. With that, they left the house, got into a black Bugatti Veyron,
and headed toward the Nolan Residence.
At Nolan Group, Silas stared at the 50 million worth of lost data on his computer, as well as that
arrogant four-syllable word âunrepentantâ. The look in his eyes was deep. He was becoming more
and more impressed by the hacker that managed to penetrate his company's firewalls and infiltrate
the internal system on more than one occasion
This person could infiltrate the companyâs systems and catch all personnel in the company
unawares. Naturally, that meant he could have wreaked greater havoc by causing more losses to the
Nolan Group. However, he didn't.
That tells me that the hacker isn't actually trying to cause losses to the company. Perhaps... Yeah, I
must have unknowingly offended this person. So, he gave me a warning. But... When did I offend
this person? For it to happen twice in a day... Moreover, the attack at night had occurred around 11
PM. At that time, I was still at the auction house. So, who could I have offended? Then, he frowned
suddenly. Could it be that woman? Now that I think about it, didn't the attack on the companyâs
defense system occur after I kicked her out of the company? Then, after the bidding competition
with that woman last night, the defense system was attacked again.
Don't tell me... that woman isnât just a thief, but a computer expert as well? Still, if she had abilities
like these, why would she need to steal phones?
At that moment, a phone rang, dragging his thoughts back to the present. Glancing at his phone, it
was a call from Connor. Recently, he had been in charge of handling Old Man Nolan's affairs.
âPresident Nolan, Young Lady Jade brought a woman with her to the Nolan Residence, saying that
she wants to let the woman treat Old Man Nolan. Do you want to come back and have a look?â
Silas frowned. Right now, Grandpa's condition is very weak; he can't take any form of stress
whatsoever. âStop them for now. I'll be there right away.â
