Chapter 389
Billionaire’s Missing Darling
Shawn couldnât keep his concerns to himself. He wasnât the type of person to remain calm and composed. He was deeply worried about Andrew, and he couldnât wait any longer. He shut down his computer and headed towards the door.
Copper stopped him and said with a patient tone, âPlease donât meddle in this matter. Mr. Andrew is just playing some games and thereâs no harm in it.â
To be honest. Copper didnât think it was a significant issue.
He had initially felt sorry for Andrew, believing that even though he was born into a wealthy family, he would likely become an indulgent and idle rich kid. In the future, he would only be a man with nothing else but money.
However, after Andrewâs questioning. Copper had a change of heart.
Andrew was smart, rich, goodâlooking, and would have a brighter future. There was no reason for others to pity him.
Moreover, seeing how he learned the violin and painting, as well as how he displayed a wide range of knowledge, it was evident that he had put in effort, and his family had nurtured him well. Since that was the case, why were they worried? Copper tried to explain, âDidnât you hear him earlier? Mr. Andrew has to practice. the violin and learn painting. He can only play games in his free time. How can that be considered ruining him?
âHeâs only six years old, even if he plays all day, itâs not ruining him.â
Shawn listened to Copperâs advice and felt that it made sense.
He realized that Andrew hadnât wasted his time. He simply didnât have the time to learn programming.
Once he understood this, Shawn felt remorseful and ruffled his hair, saying, âCopper, you donât know how smart Andrew is. If he learns programming, he will definitely surpass me and become a top international expert in the future.
âEven so, we canât force him to do something.â
âI just want him to be enlightened.â Shawn plopped into his chair.
Copper gave him an idea. âYou can try to tempt him. Kids are easy to influence. Tell him that programming is fantastic, and heâll want to learn.â
Shawnâs mood brightened as he considered Copperâs suggestion.
He promptly called Andrew and said, âAndrew, do you still want to learn. programming? We can create our own exciting games.â
Andrewâs voice was full of enthusiasm. âI love learning programming. Iâm already. very good now, and Olivia says Iâve made great progress.â
The mention of Olivia irritated Shawn. There was a look of disdain flashed in his 11.02 â wang you programming?â
Andrew nodded and enthusiastically said, âYes, Olivia is very talented.â Upon hearing this, Shawnâs anger flared. He sternly stated, âNonsense! Programning requires outstanding logical thinking. What I can teach you is profound knowledge. You should learn from me, and youâll become a powerful hacker in the future. What is she teaching you? Isnât it a waste of time?â
The more Shawn thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt that Olivia was really scheming. She had coaxed Andrew so much and now Andrew only listened to her words.
She hadnât even married into the family, but she was already so scheming.
When she really married into the Sullivan family and gave birth to her own child, would the Sullivan family still have a place for Andrew?
Although Shawnâs rationality told him to mind his own business, he could not bear to see a genius like Andrew destroyed.
He suppressed his emotions and advised Andrew, âAndrew, come and find me. Iâll make a better game for you.â
Andrew expressed disbelief with his widened eyes. âBetter? Is it better than the game designed by Olivia?â
The little boyâs tone was doubtful and made Shawn chuckle.
As an internationally renowned computer expert, creating a game was just a simple task for him.
Copper also found Andrewâs doubts quite amusing. After all, this was Shawn, the internationally renowned âLord Toole.â
Daniel had put in a lot of effort to bring him on board.
But now, Shawnâs capability was being doubted by a little boy who hadnât entered primary school.
Copper leaned back on the sofa with a mischievous look in his eyes. He said, âToday, you can give the kid a good demonstration.â
His recent work had been exhausting, so it was a good way to unwind. Andrew didnât believe Shawn, but Shawn was so confident in his words that it provoked his competitive spirit. So, he insisted on a comparison.
Olivia was in the living room on the first floor. When she saw Andrew running. down with his phone, she asked curiously, âItâs so late. Where are you going?â Andrew hugged his phone and leaned against Olivia. He said angrily, âShawn said that the game he made is better than yours, but I donât believe it.â
âWhatâs the big deal?â Olivia ruffled his chubby cheek. âThere are always people more talented than others. There are many brilliant people in the world, and the game I design is not the best.â
11:02)
Andrewâs tone was solemn. âBut I think the game that you made is the best in the world.â
Olivia couldnât help but smile, feeling like she had been given a piece of candy, sweet all the way to her heart.
She kissed Andrew and spoke softly, âWe should always stay humble, okay? Go ahead and find them.â
Andrew held his phone and ran towards the door.
Shawn was waiting on the second floor of the annex building. He was looking through the information and wanted to know what kind of games sixâyearâolds. liked to play. He aimed to create a game that would captivate Andrew completely. Seeing how seriously Shawn was taking this, Copper couldnât help but smile and remarked, âDonât tell me that you believe Olivia can program or design games, do you?â
Shawnâs hand that was holding the mouse froze for a moment, and he turned his head like a robot.
âWhat do you mean?â
Copper was at a loss for words. He said, âYou geniuses are too serious. Donât tell me youâve forgotten Mr. Andrewâs age. Heâs only six years old and his idea of a game might be nothing more than a game graphic or something as simple as Candy Crush. Donât overthink it.â
Shawn found it hard to believe and asked, âReally? Is it that simple?â
âItâs really that simple!â Copper said confidently. âMr. Andrew has been playing this game for a few days. What does that tell you? It means that Olivia had. completed the game two to three days ago.
Even a computer genius canât create a game in just one day.â
Copper continued saying while counting with his fingers, âGames require a plot, level design, soundtrack, graphical character design, frontâend engineering, animation engineering, and backâend engineering. Even a small game involves several programming languages. Olivia canât possibly be an allâaround genius who knows everything, right?â
âEven you have your weaknesses. So, how can Olivia create a complete game in a day?â
Shawn reluctantly agreed. âYou have a point.â He ran his hand through his hair, feeling a bit nervous.
He realized that he had taken Andrewâs words too seriously. Just as they were relaxing. Andrew knocked on the door and entered. âShawn.â
âAndrew?â Shawn waved at him. âCome here.â
Andrew ran over and showed him the game on his phone. âLook, this is a game Olivia made for me.
Can you really do better than her?â
Copper teased, âHave you changed your mind? Didnât you doubt it just now? Why are you curious now?â
11:02 Andrewâs tone was serious as he explained patiently, âOlivia told me that thereâs always someone better, and Shawn is very talented. He might be able to make a good game.â
Copper smirked. He remained silent but thought to himself that Olivia was a slippery person who knew how to find excuses for herself.
He extended his hand and said, âGive it to me. Let me take a look first.â
Andrew handed the phone over.
Copper took the phone casually and found the application. The game icon on the screen was prominent. It was a image of a polar bear with glasses and a pointer in its hand.
Copper analyzed in his mind, thinking that the icon was quite exquisite and was probably downloaded from some image library.
With a touch of his fingertip, he opened the game.
The game started with a beautifully designed guiding animation.
Initially, Copper didnât take it seriously, but as he continued to play, his expression. became increasingly focused. Finally, he sat up straight, holding his phone with both hands and looked quite serious.
âWhatâs going on?â Shawn was curious and poked his head over.
As Copper slowly raised his head, his arrogance and casual demeanor disappeared. from his face. It was replaced by an expression of shock.
He thought to himself, âHow is this possible? Can it be true?â
integration of The game was indeed a masterpiece. It had exquisite graphics, a perfect. soundtrack, clear and stunning video animations, and a seamless game and programming knowledge, making it highly entertaining.
This was nothing short of a masterpiece.
