Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1688
Caspian purposely put on a look of disgust. âDon't listen to her. Everything else about Nancy is
good, except that she always lacks some brains whenever she's thinking about problems or is trying
to do something.â
Not to be outdone, Nancy quickly stepped forward and used a grappling technique on Caspian,
pressing his arm against his back. âWho did you say lacks brains?â
When oneâs wife had a black belt in Taekwondo, even Caspian, who was well-trained in martial arts,
had to bow down to her in respect. Rendered immobile by Nancy, he could hear Joan snickering by
the side. Thus, he could only repeatedly apologize. âMe, it's me. I'm the ignorant one and also the
one who doesn't use his brains...â
"Oh right, that S has already attacked three small companies under Norton Corporation. If he's
aiming for the entire company, he'll take action soon!â Nancy then let go of her grip on Caspian.
Joan nodded. âI know. I'll tell Larry when I get back and get him to increase the security for the
internal information of each branch,â she said as she moved to pick up her handbag from the sofa.
Just as she stepped out of the room, she turned back and added, âYou guys have to strengthen your
cybersecurity too..."
Caspian was confused. âWe have to strengthen what? Isn't S's goal...â Before he could say the word
âBoss,â Nancy suddenly realized something and interrupted him. âIt's better to take precaution
anyway. As they say, play it safe. If S's target is all of Marsingfill's well-known companies, then my
dad's company may also be invaded!â
Recognizing that she made sense, Caspian stopped rebutting against Nancy. However, she knew
that Joan's words were actually to remind her that if S's goal was to avenge the marriage, his next
target would be her family's company.
Three branches under Norton Corporation had been acquired by multinational companies.
Consequently, their stock prices dropped sharply that day.
Furthermore, there were endless discussions from everywhere in the stock market. Norton
Corporation had always been one of the most stable stocks in the market due to its excellent
business model and employee management. The recent acquisition was the first in thirty years for
Norton Corporation.
As a result, Larry was extremely stressed by it. Other than his hatred for the mysterious Mr. S, he was
also questioning his own management style.
Meanwhile, Jory was leisurely leaning back on the sofa with a cup of tea in his hands while watching
the news. His smile got wider as he crossed his legs, and his black leather shoes clicked rhythmically
in time with the news.
Gabriella had recently been going to Jory every two or three days. Ever since she attached the black
device he gave her onto Joan's phone, she had often felt uneasy, feeling as though something was
about to happen. Although Jory had said that nothing would happen to Joan, Gabriella was still
flustered. Thus, she constantly ran over to Jory's office.
However, it was an office in name only. In reality, it was just a floor that he had rented in a building.
Even though Gabriella had privately collaborated with Jory, he knew everything about her, yet she
knew nothing about him, not even his name.
The first time she went to Joryâs office, she realized that it was nothing compared to the office of a
manager working under her father. Compared to the highly-paid, white-collar workers she had met
before, Jory's office was so small that it looked a little pitiful. However, Jory knew how to enjoy life.
Even though the place was small, he had decorated it very stylishly.
Every time Gabriella turned up, she would ask Jory the same question. âWhat exactly is the function
of that black device?â
Jory's reply was consistent every time. âYou donât need to know. Anyway, it's already been installed.
Even if it had any function, you can't change anything anymore.â
