Chapter 2109

“Well, it can’t be helped,” said Daniel indifferently, for there would be inevitable losses even if the issue had been resolved.

“Yeah,” said Nicole coolly, as if she genuinely did not care about the affairs of the other two companies.

Daniel felt much more relieved as he noticed that his daughter was showing no signs of distress. And so, he did not press on with further questions.

“Dad, let’s dig in.” Samuel said, not wanting to hear all the yapper about Dillion and Damien.

Instead he was quite content knowing that the two families could handle their affairs on their own. This meant that they would not be having the time to meddle with their family.

“Yeah, let’s all dig in.” Daniel said, urging everyone to start eating.

Once dinner was over, everyone returned to their respective rooms. Nicole, meanwhile, went over to Nolan’s room to see that he was still busy.

She sat down next to him and said, “Whatever you did yesterday, don’t do it again.”

“Who told them to bully my mommy?” said Nolan assertively.

Nicole gently patted Nolan’s head, “Alright, your Excellency. You obviously have your own way of thinking now. Even at the mall, you’ve turned to hacking as a way to vent your anger to get back at them.”

“But…” Nolan glanced at Nicole hesitantly.

“Don’t worry about it, okay. No one is going to bully me. I have plans of my own.” Nicole comforted him with a gentle smile.

Nolan nodded in response. “Okay, mommy.”

“Alright, don’t stay up too late now.” Nicole said as she turned around to leave.

Nolan stared at his screen, ‘Now that I have my own account, I can accept missions whenever I like. I can rank up too!1 Nolan got excited as he thought about it, as it was his dream come true.

However….

Nolan had carefully considered not telling Lawrence about his new account. After all, he was unsure about how to break the news to his godfather regarding the fact that he had accepted this gift from Jared.

‘Why do I feel like I’m betraying my godfather?’

At the same time, at Dillon’s residence. Dillon had a grimace on his face as he looked over at Raine and James.

“Dad, I was too hasty. I asked Preston for help.” Raine lowered her head as she spoke cautiously.

“Dad, it was fortunate that Preston came over to help us out. Otherwise we would have suffered an even greater loss,”

James chimed in.

“Did you mention that it was a hacker attack?” Dillon frowned. What did Preston even help with?’

“Yeah. Preston said that there were no traces of us being hacked and that our system needed an upgrade. So, Preston helped us by upgrading it, and after that our stock prices began to stabilize. That saved us from a lot of losses,” Raine continued.

“Dad, since the matter has been resolved, let’s think about the next big thing. We had our losses, so we should find a way to make up for it.” James added as he helped Raine to persuade Dillon, who continued frowning.

Karen, feeling a little dismayed, spoke up, “Our kids willingly joined you to help out at the company.

Quit being such a pessimist.”

“I just think everything that has happened this time is way too strange.”

Dillon’s expression was sour and gloomy. He had asked someone to check things through, but it yielded no results.

“You know what’s strange? We were not the only ones having this problem. Damien did too.”

Karen gritted her teeth bitterly.

Both of our companies suddenly experienced the same problems. Both suffered significant losses. It would be odd if this doesn’t piss anyone off. If it was a coordinated attack however, Damien had also suffered the same. I guess we were both unlucky.’

“Well, well, well, what do you know? Damien had the same problem as we did, but Dexter and Daniel had no problems at all! Don’t you think this is suspicious?!” Dillon roared.

Surprised and dismayed by his sudden reaction, Karen asked, “Why are you shouting!? Can’t you speak properly?!”
