Chapter 77

Madison didn’t want her son to worry about her, so she made an effort to control her emotions and casually said, “It’s just that I don’t find him appealing.”

“What’s wrong? Does Mommy think he’s not attractive or is his status too ordinary? Should I help you dig into the list of wealthy individuals?” Jeremy teased.

Madison chuckled. “Why do you insist on arranging blind dates for Mommy?”

Jeremy replied, “I just want to help Mommy find support, and this man should at least be on par with, if not better than Neville. That way, Mommy can be protected.”

past A warm feeling rushed through Madison’s heart. Jeremy was a gift from heaven and the only comfort during the decade. Sometimes, she wondered if this was a bit of sympathy from fate, giving her a source of solace. “Jeremy, you are my support. Likewise, I will always be your backup, shielding you from harm.”

“Mommy… Jeremy wanted to say something more, but Madison interrupted right away, “Mommy knows you care about me, but I really don’t need protection from other men. I just want to earn more money to support my Jeremy, ensuring your safe and happy growth.”

252 281 282 28 Jeremy had to compromise. Then I will grow up very soon so that I can protect Mommy someday.”

Hearing this, Madison couldn’t help but kiss the phone with a sweet smile, feeling that with Jeremy’s presence, the gloominess in her heart was instantly swept away, and the world remained warm and tender.

When Neville caught up to the door, he happened to witness Madison kissing her phone. The tenderness and intimacy in her expression resembled that of a woman deeply in love. He immediately retracted his steps, retreating to the dim corridor, thinking. I only said those things earlier to humiliate Ethan. I didn’t expect Madison to hear it’ Feeling somewhat offensive towards her. Neville had initially planned to apologize, but seeing her joyful appearance, he immediately abandoned that thought, mocking inwardly, “Well, she’s enjoying her life. Why bother to console her?”

On the other side of the ocean, Jeremy had already detected the nasal tone in Madison’s voice. He knew his mother must have been mistreated. It seemed that the blind date partner had insulted her, and he was determined to make the person.

pay.

That night, Jeremy infiltrated the firewall of the Collins, Group, quickly planting a virus that paralyzed the entire network. Feeling unsatisfied with just that, he knew he had to fly to his mother’s side i “diately to find out what happened. He was thinking that if his mother was taken advantage of by Ethan, he would use his newly developed weapon to teach Ethan a lesson. Jeremy acted on his words and, that night, disappeared on Warcana Island, carrying his beloved backpack.

When Madison received Ariel’s call, it was already ten in the morning the next day. At that moment, she was in the meeting room at the Collins headquarters, waiting for a meeting with Ethan. Upon hearing that Jeremy had left home again. Madison became extremely anxious. This little guy always liked to play hide and seek with her, causing her endless worry.

“Ariel, check around the area now. I’ll check Jeremy’s location immediately.” Madison and Jeremy wore matching mother- son sensing bracelets, accurately locating each other. However, Jeremy, being c u n n i n g as he was, seemed to have anticipated. her checking, as he had already turned off the bracelet in advance, Madison felt a bit annoyed. As she was about to leave the conference room, she overheard employees of Collins muttering. “The system was running fine the day before. Why did it crash yesterday afternoon?”

“Who knows? It seems to have been infected with a virus. Regular hackers can’t c r a c k it, so we have to wait for a hacking expert to take the job.”

Madison immediately thought of something. The time Jeremy called her was yesterday afternoon, and her blind date. partner was Ethan. When she connected these two incidents, she figured it out in her mind right away, Jeremy probably thought I was mistreated by Ethan and went out of his way to help me vent my frustration. Thinking of this, she quickly walked to a secluded area and dialed Jeremy’s number, Surprisingly, the call went through.

“Mommy, don’t worry about me. I’m on my way to Norxton, Jeremy assured.

Madison questioned, “Did you hack into Ethan’s company? Was that your doing?”

“He provoked Mommy, so of course, I had to teach him a lesson,” said Jeremy.

Yesterday’s incident had nothing to do with him. Remove the virus immediately!” Madison instructed.

Jeremy, hearing the stern tone in Madison’s voice, compromised as he said, “Fine, I’ll do it, but this job comes with a fee. Can’t let this guy off too easily.”

Madison couldn’t help but find it amusing that her son had a penchant for money, and she didn’t know whose temperament he had inherited. “Go back to Warcana Island right now. Ariel is very worried about you.”

“Mommy, I miss you” Jeremy acted cute.

Madison, finally swayed by her son’s plea, admitted that she missed him a lot too. But this little guy’s face is just a copy- paste of Neville’s. Once he arrives in Norxton, there’s a risk of exposure. Given Neville’s personality, he would never allow his son to be raised in my care. After all, in his eyes, I’m humble and lowly, thinking of this, she lowered her voice and said, Jeremy. Be a good boy.”

Jeremy’s soft voice came through. “Mommy, I’ll just take a quick look and leave, okay?”

Madison couldn’t bring herself to refuse and said, “Send me the address, and I’ll have Ross pick you up.”

2 2 2 222 2 Jeremy happily agreed. “Sure, I’ll send the address directly to him. See you tonight, Mommy” After hanging up the phone, Jeremy turned to Ross and said, “Ross, let me borrow the laptop for a business deal.” In reality, Jeremy already arrived in Norton, but he didn’t want Madison to know his whereabouts at the moment.

Ross glanced at Jeremy and remarked, “Why are you so money-minded, just like your mother? You’re either doing business or on your way to do business every day”

Jeremy rolled his eyes at him, saying. “Only fools don’t earn money. I’m not like you, always enjoying spending money recklessly.”

Ross felt subtly insulted and joked, “I used to think you were more like your mother. Now I see you’re exactly like your heartless father, both with a sharp tongue.”

Jeremy, pounding the keyboard forcefully, resented, “Don’t ever mention him in front of me again.”

Meanwhile, he bellowed inwardly, ‘He doesn’t deserve it!

Soon, Jeremy took on the reward issued by Ethan, clearing the virus in just three minutes and effortlessly earning 60 thousand dollars. However, he couldn’t help but compare in his mind. ‘In terms of spending money, that lousy dad was more generous. Last time, I just sent him the information for Mommy’s car purchase, and I netted a million dollars.

Jeremy rushed off the plane too quickly, not even having time to use the restroom. After completing the job, he hurried towards the restroom.

At this moment, Ryan and Neville happened to arrive at Loveille’s office building. Neville was accidentally bumped by the swiftly running Jeremy. With an extreme aversion to being touched, Neville was about to explode in anger. However, he caught a glimpse of the small figure darting past. He narrowed his eyes, thinking. Isn’t that the kid who played a prank on me on purpose last time? Such an audacious kid. Since he isn’t educated well by his parents, it’s time for an outsider to give him a good lesson.

Neville then strode toward the restroom with his long and confident steps. Upon hearing the sound of water running, he 11:52 Thu: 9 May MU.

kicked the door of the restroom where the sound came from. “Little brat, get
