Chapter 179

“Dinner’s ready. Go wash your hands,” said Laura as she walked out of the kitchen.

Avery immediately brought the two children to wash their hands.

It was 9:00 p.m. in the children’s room. Hayden had his eyes opened as he wondered about what

Avery had said before dinner.

“Layla,” Hayden called out to his sister.

“Hayden, you are still awake too? I’m scared. Elliot is so handsome, but he is a bad person. Sob, sob,

sob. Why does he want to strangle us?” Layla stretched out her hands hoping her brother would hug

her so she would feel safe.

Hayden told Layla his speculation, “Maybe he is our father.”

“What?” Layla shouted in surprise.

“Layla, we need to take matters into our own hands. We need to find the truth.” Hayden decided with a

plan in mind.

“What should we do, Hayden?” Layla asked while she looked at Hayden with her big round eyes.

“Go to sleep first,” said Hayden.

The next morning, the internet of the Sterling Group broke down. The network security team started to

investigate the problem that caused the internet to break down.

Elliot rushed to the company as soon as he heard the news. How could the internet of such a huge

organization break down so easily? It was the first time such a major disaster had happened since the

company first started its operations.

When Elliot arrived at the company, the first thing he did was take a look at the IT department. After

that, he returned to his office and switched on the computer. It turned out his computer was being

hacked too.

All of the employees’ computer screens were showing a green screen with a tongue sticking out emoji.

Whereas, Elliot’s screen was different. His screen was showing a provocative sentence, ‘Come and

strangle me, you *sshole!’. The wording was red-colored with a green colored background. The mixture

of those two colors was high in contrast.

While looking at the sentence, Elliot squeezed his eyebrows tightly together. *sshole? It was such a

childish word. He tried hard and could not figure out what kind of an adult would have said it to him.

An hour later, all of the computers were recovered back to their normal operation. However, it

did not apply to Elliot’s computer. The virus in his computer was different from the rest of the

employees. As a result, all of the IT experts gathered in Elliot’s office trying hard to decrypt the virus.

Chad guessed, “Mr. Foster, your nephew was once hacked too. Could it be the same hacker?”

Elliot said, “The previous hacker purposely used Cole’s information. We have not found out his real

identity yet.”

“This hacker seems to be roaming around us,” Chad analyzed, “First it was Cole’s phone, then the

security footage of Angela Special Needs Academy, and now he has targeted our company’s internet.

What is his goal?”

Elliot did not know either. When Shea was lost, she was not hurt. Hence, the hacker was not after

Shea. Thus, the hacker must have targeted either Cole or himself.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

At that moment, Hayden suddenly appeared in Elliot’s mind. Elliot only knew that Hayden had just

transferred into Angela Special Needs Academy. The principal said the boy does not talk to strangers.

However, the teacher told Elliot that he had made a promise with Hayden that they would not get into

each other’s ways and that was why he continued studying at Angela Special Needs Academy.

The boy was definitely not as simple and pure as he looked. Elliot decided to go check on Hayden’s

detailed information once he exited the company.
