Christopher stood in front of the computer screen and stared at it. As soon as there was a reply, he urged Adam and his team to accelerate the decryption process.
Adam was a seasoned hacker. However, facing off against a formidable opponent under the watchful eye of Christopher, he still felt immense pressure.
He dared not look back at Christopher standing behind him, but he could sense a chilling aura surrounding him.
When Adam received the code instruction from Dexter, he looked puzzled. âHuh? Why is it like this?
The other party didnât make any demands, they just provided an address.â
At this point, Adam was truly at a loss.
His child had not yet been born, so he had no experience in parenting. Therefore, he naturally wouldnât think of that aspect.
He wondered if it meant the other party wanted to meet to discuss the terms.
But that didnât seemed to make much sense to him.
Originally, the other party was a thief who stole something, and if it was for the sake of the item itself, he could have just vanished with it.
Adam wondered why would the thief intentionally expose himself. According to common sense, the other party should have some requests.
Yet, the thief hadnât mentioned any conditions and had instead provided an address.
Adam thought about it extensively, and even the entire technical department brainstormed together, but they couldnât come up with a reasonable explanation.
Seeing the situation, Christopher knew that Adam and the technical department had done their best.
Clearly, they had reached a dead end, and continuing to linger like this would be meaningless.
E Christopher then made a crucial decision based on Dexterâs hints to visit Dellmoor to find out mo Felix, who was standing respectfully by the side, waited for Christopherâs instructions.
Perhaps they had been working together for a long time, but when Felix saw Christopherâs expression and considered his consistent way of doing things, he naturally knew that Christopher would be making a big move.
Î Christopher turned to Felix and ordered, âGo get ready and bring a few bodyguards. We will depart to Dellmoor after the ribbon-cutting ceremony tomorrow morning.â
According to Christopherâs usual style, he should have departed immediately.
However, there was an important ribbon-cutting ceremony scheduled for 10 a.m. the next morning, with key government officials invited as witnesses.
As the CEO, his abrupt absence would be impolite.
Since the other party had provided an address, it indicated that they had other motives. Therefore, they shouldnât pose an immediate threat to the company.
Yet, he had only confirmed that the address was in Dellmoor, without a specific location.
In this regard, the little cuties couldnât be blamed. How would they know that their Daddy didnât even recognize their own home?
Everything was all set except one thing.
The most critical aspect now was for Adam and his team to quickly pinpoint the opponentâs IP location so that they could navigate there.
Dellmoor was vast, and it wasnât their territory. Searching for one person throughout the city without a lead would be a daunting task.
Adam understood tacitly that his fate at Levine Group depended on the outcome of this last battle.
Compared to their previous tasks, this was a relatively straightforward one, albeit time- consuming.
He immediately reassured Christopher, âMr. Levine, rest assured, we will begin a thorough citywide search tonight.â
He then looked down at his wristwatch and said confidently, âWe will definitely lock down the exact location before 7 a.m. tomorrow morning.â
Christopher felt more assured when he heard Adam solemnly pledging his commitment. He glanced at the employees in the technical department and said, âThank you for your hard work.â
Then, Christopher got up and massaged his slightly throbbing temple, thinking, âThis weekend is truly hectic, even more so than the weekdays.
Thinking of his disrupted weekend, a determined thought rose within him. He wanted to find out who the audacious little rascal was and dared to beard the lion in his den.
Of course, he was still unaware that all of this was thanks to his three little cuties, whom he never met before.
Seeing Kimberly packing her bags, Candice acted coquettish and said, âMommy, canât you take us with you?â
Dexter and Sebastian had disapproving expressions as they sarcastically retorted, âWhat do you mean by us? Itâs just you.â
Besides, they had to wait for Christopher to come to the Larson residence.
Based on their preliminary estimation, Christopher would be there tomorrow, or at the latest the day after.
If Kimberly really insisted on taking them along, they would have to come up with clever excuses not to go.
Kimberly was a little distressed when she saw Candiceâs pitiful look. She hadnât been separated from them since birth.
She paused in her packing and pulled Candice into her arms, gently patting her head.
In a soft and soothing tone, she said, âSorry, but you and your brothers have school tomorrow. Besides, Iâm going for work, not on a trip. Itâs just for a day, and Iâll be back the day after.
Initially, Candice wanted to say, âCanât we just take a day off from school? Iâve seen some classmates do it.â
But before the words left her mouth, she heard Kimberly mention that her trip was for work.
Candice had always been a reasonable child, not one to cause trouble for others easily.
Observing Dexterâs and Sebastianâs resolute attitudes, she swallowed the words.
She nodded despite her reluctance.
Kimberly was deeply moved to see that. She genuinely believed that in her past life, she must have saved the entire galaxy to be blessed with three such adorable children.
She lowered her head and gave Candiceâs cheek a loving kiss.
Encouraged by Kimberlyâs affection, Candice felt invigorated.
Her tears turned into smiles as she felt relieved. She started imitating Kimberly, running back and forth around the luggage, packing items one by one into Kimberlyâs luggage.
Finally, she rushed back to her room, brought her favorite doll, and stuffed it into the luggage.
With a sweet and childish voice, she said, âMommy, youâll be lonely outside without us. So, take this doll with you!â
At that point, Kimberly felt that no matter how many children a woman gave birth to in her life, they must give birth to a girl. It was an absolute heartwarming experience.
She watched Candiceâs actions with a warm smile and felt entirely content with life.
As it turned out, she was going to Mysonna tomorrow with Vincent. It was Brentâs 80th birthday celebration, and he had invited distinguished figures from all over.
In general, Kimberly rarely attended such gatherings, but this was indeed a special occasion.
Most importantly, it was a good opportunity to establish strategic cooperation with the MacQuoid family.
She deeply understood that besides being a mother, she was also a CEO.
Therefore, even if she was reluctant to part with her little cuties, she had to prioritize the bigger picture.
Besides, the children were growing up and needed to start experiencing the taste of separation.
