Chapter 700

Sage was somewhat reluctant to concede victory to Timothy.

With a smirk, Sage retorted: “Do I need a reason to hack you? I did it because I wanted to.”

Timothy narrowed his eyes, showing no restraint: “You’re nothing but a weakling. Do you surrender?”

“Never! You cheated!”

Sage felt a surge of indignation. During their confrontation, Timothy had managed to covertly probe his

IP address.

It seemed like Timothy was also a computer whiz.

Despite this, Sage refused to admit defeat.

Upon reading the message, Timothy couldn’t help but notice its somewhat peculiar tone, which struck

him as almost childish.

At that instant, Paul approached and declared, “This IP address is fake.”

Timothy raised an eyebrow at this revelation. He hadn’t anticipated they would uncover a fake address;

it appeared that a skilled individual was assisting the

hacker.

Timothy proceeded to type: “Everything is fair in war. What matters is the outcome, not the method

used to achieve it.”

Sage’s expression twisted with anger as he read Timothy’s response.

Rachel gently nudged his cheek. “There’s no need to get upset. You’re just four years old, whereas he

has had much more experience and is only slightly ahead of you. In a few years, you will surely

surpass him.”

Sage defiantly stared at the computer screen, his small hand typing out a line: ” One day, I will defeat

you.”

Even though Sage was hesitant to admit it, he recognized that he had been

careless this time.

Nonetheless, he resolved to be more cautious in the future.

Timothy frowned when he saw this message. “Do you know me?”

However, there was no response from the other side. It seemed that the person had already left.

As Timothy went over their conversation, he couldn’t shake the feeling that this hacker was intentionally

targeting him, sensing a tone reminiscent of a

mischievous child in their exchange.

Paul inquired keenly, “Mr. Barrett, did the hacker manage to escape? Did we fail to catch them?”

Timothy’s narrowed gaze swept over. “They’ll be back.”

If it were an adult, incentives could be used as an exchange, but with a youngster, it wasn’t always that

straightforward.

Paul responded calmly, “Maybe it’s another young enthusiast here to show off, lucky to have family

support. They probably used a fake IP address in time, or else you would have caught them.”

“I don’t want to hear any excuses. Get the system restored within the hour and touch?” improve its

defenses. Being outsmarted by a child–have

Paul let out a sigh; he was indeed getting older, and new talents were always emerging.

Timothy sat alone at his computer, his brow furrowed as he contemplated who might have targeted the

Barrett Group’s system.

Just then, his phone vibrated with a WhatsApp message: “Shouldn’t you be at the hospital?”

Meanwhile, Mia stood outside the intensive care unit, gazing at Laura lying

inside with a ventilator.

For some inexplicable/reason, her heart felt heavy.

Mia had consulted the doctor about Laura’s critical state. If Laura’s condition

didn’t improve, it seemed there would be no other recourse.

Soon after, Mia’s phone rang; it was Timothy calling.

She answered calmly, “Hello?”

“There’s an urgent matter at the company, so I had to go there to address it.”

Mia responded, “Oh, that’s fine. Go ahead and handle your work. I’ve arranged to go shopping with

Shelly, so you don’t need to accompany me. Work is a top priority for men, after all.‘

Timothy couldn’t help but interject, “What about Ginger?”

“Ginger seems a bit under the weather, so I’ve let her stay home to rest,” Mia replied.

Upon hearing this, Timothy pursed his lips slightly and asked, “Does she need to see a doctor?”

Mia’s hands slowly clenched at his question…
