Chapter 480



.

On the Smiths.

Seeing Joel run off as if there was some kind of problem, Nora narrowed her eyes. She thought it might have something to do with herself.

She turned and headed for the car, intending to go to the company to take a look around.

Unexpectedly, before she could get into the car, Cherry and Pete pounced on her and grabbed hold of one of her legs each.

Cherry lifted her head. “Mom, where have you been all day, why haven’t I seen you? I miss you so much.”

Pete said nothing, but his eyes, as he looked at Nora, were full of attachment.

Nora: “…”

To be honest, she had never neglected Cherry just because she was busy with work. At most, she didn’t spend time with her to make up for her sleeping hours.

However, Cherry was by her side even when she slept. So it was true that the two children rarely saw Nora so busy that she didn’t even come home.

Nora ruffled Cherry’s hair. “Mommy has something important to do. Let Mommy go first, okay?”

Cherry bit her lip. “But I miss Mom!”

Nora looked at Justin helplessly.

The man sighed, and a hint of a loving look appeared on his handsome face. He thought for a moment and then said, “Okay, let Mom go to work. Dad will walk them to bed tonight, OK?”.

Cherry and Pete could only nod.

Nora finally got into the car and went after Joel. However, her car was already out of sight. After a moment’s thought, she turned around and finally headed towards the Smith Corporation.

After putting the two kids to bed, Justin went outside.

As soon as he left, he picked up the phone and called Brenda. She quickly answered. “What now, Justin?”

There was a very cold look in Justin’s eyes. “Has Nora run into any problems?”

Otherwise, given how much she loved to sleep, she’d be sleeping with her kids at home at this hour!

Brenda replied, “No, we’re just trying to solve a case.”

Justin subconsciously asked, “Would you still be out this late if all you’re doing is trying to solve a case?”

However, Brenda burst out laughing when she heard what he said. “Gee, Justin, do you know what you sound like? You sound like a housewife who waited at home all day, but in the end her husband didn’t come home! Hahahaha! Are you lonely?”

Justin: “…”

If it had been any other time, I would have hung up on him a long time ago. But thinking of Nora, he said to her nonetheless, “Tell me what it’s about.”

Brenda replied, “…. I can’t tell you. It’s confidential.”

Hearing the word ‘confidential’, Justin immediately realized the importance of the matter.

He didn’t say anything else, let alone force Brenda to make a mistake at work. Instead, he disconnected the call and prepared to log into his system with his phone to take a look.

But before she could, her phone rang. It was Lawrence.

When he answered, Lawrence said, “Mr. Hunt, something has happened to the Smiths.”

Justin narrowed his eyes. “What’s wrong?”

Lawrence replied, “Miss Smith supposedly offended Q, so Q has approached the Smith Corporation, hacked into their entire network and is giving them a lot of trouble. He wants Miss Smith to bow down and apologize.”

Many people in the IT department had seen the contents of Joel’s talk with the other party that time.

Although it was not broadcast to outsiders, it was nonetheless easy for people in the industry to find out if they wanted to.

Lawrence himself was a source of gossip, so he knew all the news about everyone.

Justin, however, frowned and said, “He’s not Q.”

🍙 🍙 🍙 🍙 🍙

At the same time, Nora, who had just arrived in the lobby of the office building, also received a call from Joel. Hearing what Joel said, she immediately gave that answer calmly and coolly.

Joel was not surprised. “Then who is it?”

“… A psychopath.”

“… Well, if it’s not Q, then I’ll keep looking for other people to help me.”

After confirming that the other party was not Q, the rest of the hackers would dare to help now.

Joel completely believed what he said. He immediately started to organize an assistant to spread the news that the hacker was not Q.

Samuel was furious as he listened on the sidelines. “Joel! Isn’t Q just because she says he isn’t? Who else can beat Speedy so quickly besides Q and Y! No one else in the world is that good at hacking!”

Joel looked at him. “Uncle Grandpa Samuel, I have things to attend to here. If there’s nothing else you want, you can go now!”

Samuel became even more furious. “Joel, I’m saying this for the good of the company! It’s not worth risking the Smiths for the sake of a girl who wasn’t even raised by the Smiths!”

Joel looked at him and suddenly smiled, “I think it’s worth doing.”

Samuel wanted to say more, but Joel was already looking toward the door aggressively. He ordered, “Take him outside!”.

“Yes, sir!”

His executive assistant rushed into the office with bodyguards and surrounded Samuel.

Samuel shouted angrily at him, “Joel, you are even more overbearing than Ian! This is too much! Too much!!!!! With a CEO like you, the Smiths will end up in ruin sooner or later.”

He was dragged out of Joel’s office.

Outside the door of the CEO’s office on the top floor were several managers waiting to report urgent work-related news. When Samuel saw them, he immediately shouted, “Did you all see that? He’s an asshole!

“The person Nora offended isn’t Q? Hah, he must really be blind! He’s going to take on an international hacker just to vent his anger! He must be out of his mind.”

Managers were also stunned when they learned that the hacker was not Q.

Someone asked, “Who could it be, if not Q?”.

And it was the outside help that Hunt Corporation had hired, so it was impossible for him to attack them. Therefore, it certainly had to be Q!

It was impossible that there was a third hacker in the world who could match Q and Y!

Someone whispered, “Mr. Smith must have turned into a knucklehead, right?”

“Yes, I think so too…”

When Samuel heard their questions, his voice immediately became louder. “He’s already proven he’s Q with his hacking prowess! But what about you?”

He shouted at the office door, “Smith Corporation is not afraid of a hacker, but to vent his anger against the hacker, he has made the company suffer a lot of losses. Who is going to bear the responsibility for all those things on the Internet and the damage to our reputation? Also, isn’t Q just because you say so, do you have any proof? All you do is babble nonsense, do you think Q will help us just because you say that?”

As she climbed the stairs, Nora had already heard about what happened through the Internet.

When she finally reached the top, she immediately heard Samuel’s derisive shouts directed at the CEO’s office.

She smiled sarcastically, lowered her voice and said slowly, “Indeed it’s not Q.”

Samuel suddenly looked at her and said, “It’s not Q just because you say so? You say it as if you know where Q is.”

Nora’s lips curved into a smile and she let out a low laugh. “Of course I do.”
