“They should be able to fix it by noon today,” Chad said.
Elyette reached the first floor and said, “We are not calling the police.”
“Noted. Mr. Foster, do you suspect that this is Hayden’s doing?”
“No.”
Chad could barely hold back his laughter. “Well, he sure is a genius child! The IT department has strengthened the firewall since he last attacked our network, but he still got past it.”
“So what if he is a genius? He’s already on the wrong path. If Averie lets him continue doing whatever he wants, he will wind up in prison.”
The smile on Chad’s face disappeared at how merciless his boss was.
Averie would surely die of anger if she heard Elljot.
“But it seems like he is only doing this to spite you… I haven’t heard of him attacking anyone else,” mused Chad. “So he won’t end up in prison as long as you don’t report him to the police.
Chad was certain that Elyette would not send Hayden to prison. No matter what Hayden planned on doing, Elyette would not harm him as long as he had Averie protecting him.
Elyette’s expression darkened at Chad’s words. “If that’s the case, I am only going to encounter more and more trouble from now on. That brat’s ability would only get better as he grows.” thought Elyette.
He felt as though there was an itch he couldn’t scratch at the thought.
Meanwhile, Zoe was at the Foster mansion, she had been discharged from the hospital. She should have remained at the hospital for a few more days, but she did not want to remain at the hospital. Though Elyette had not announced their breakup, everyone knew it was impossible for her relationship with Elyette to continue, and she no longer had an excuse to stay in the old Foster mansion.
“Stay here for now, Zoe, and don’t think too much. Elyette’s opinion does not represent mine. I still like you,” Rosalie said. “Just stay here and keep me company!”
“Thank you for supporting me, Rosalie. It’s just that, Elyette might be upset if I continue to stay here,” Zoe said.
“He’s not that petty! Just rest up for now and recover.” Rosalie took out a beautiful gift box and handed it to Zoe. “This is a gesture of goodwill from me. I hope that you won’t resent Elyette and will continue to treat Shea to the best of your abilities.”
Zoe accepted the gift box. It was no wonder that Rosalie was so polite with her. She was still useful to the Foster Family.
“Don’t worry, I will do my best.” Zoe opened the box and found an exquisite jade bracelet inside. “What a beautiful bracelet. Thank you, Rosalie.”
“My eldest daughter-in-law had her eyes on that bracelet, but I didn’t want to give it to her,” Rosalie said with a smile. “Which goes to say how much I care for you to give you this.”
“Mm-hm! I don’t hate Elyette, actually. I guess it’s just not meant to be,” Zoe said calmly.
Just then, a nanny walked over and whispered a few words into Rosalie’s ear. Rosalie’s expression darkened, and she immediately got up and walked deeper into the house
Once she was inside, Rosalie picked up the phone and said, “Hello, do you know Elyette Foster? I ‘m his mother.”
“Hello, Madame Rosalie. May I know why you’ve contacted me?” The person on the other end of the line said.
“You have a student named Hayden Tate at your kindergarten, right?”
“Yes.”
“The thing is; I need a few strands of his hair, and I was wondering if you can get me some. I will pay you, so just name your price,” said Rosalie.
Confused, the other person asked, “Why do you want his hair? It’s not that I don’t want to help, but you probably don’t know much about that child. You see, he does not allow anyone to touch him. The only person who can touch him is his sister.”
Rosalie had not predicted that something this simple would turn out to be so difficult.
“Think of something! If you can’t get your hands on his hair, blood will also do!” she said. “I’ ll be honest with you, that boy’s mother was married to my son for a while… and I suspect that there’s more to that boy than meets the eye. So, please do me this favor? If you get this done, I will reward you well.”
Just then, the nanny noticed a figure outside the door and immediately stepped outside.
“Ms. Sanford, do you need anything?” The nanny’s expression darkened as she stared at Zoe, but she refrained from being rude.
Zoe was eavesdropping and panicked. “Oh… I just thought of returning the gift from Rosalie, since it seems too expensive.”
“Please wait in the living room,” the nanny said.
Zoe immediately headed back to the living room.
Shortly after, Rosalie had finished the phone call. The nanny did not mention that Zoe was eavesdropping in order to avoid complications.
Zoe chatted with Rosalie for a while longer, before telling her that she had made plans to have lunch with her father and left.
She was troubled when she stepped outside the mansion.
According to what she had heard, Rosalie had started to suspect Averie’s children. Though Elyette did not want children, Rosalie desperately wanted grandchildren. If she found out that both Hayden and Layla were Elyette’s children, she would surely treat them like royalty and side with Averie.
Zoe did not wish to see that.
In the restaurant, Zoe sat down and glanced over at Wanda.
“Why the long face, Zoe? Didn’t Elyette give you a lot of money? Don’t be depressed, having money is the most important thing,” Zoe’s father said.
Zoe picked up the glass to take a sip of water. “It’s not about that. By the way, Wanda, did you manage to close the deal with those technology firms that you were planning to buy?”
Wanda smiled and said, “I’m almost there. This is the perfect time to get into the industry. With Tate Industries getting all the business at the moment, other firms are struggling, so it’s up for negotiation. Do you want to invest? I assure you that you will earn more money.”
Zoe’s eyes gleamed, and she said, “How can you be sure?”
Wanda’s eyes shone viciously as she said, “Because Averie is my arch enemy, and I have to win!
Persuaded by her words, Zoe said, “Alright, I’ll invest with you.”
Meanwhile, Averie was at Tate Industries addressing all the work that had come in in the morning. She got up after she saw the time.
She stepped out of the office and headed to the closest pharmacy.
When she entered a member of the staff said, “What are you looking for, Miss?”
After a moment of hesitation, Averie answered shyly, “Morning-after pills.”
The staff immediately produced the pills and glanced at her.
Averie lowered her gaze, before pulling out her phone to pay. After paying, she walked out of the pharmacy with the medicine, when suddenly, she remembered Elyette’s warning.
He said that he was going to keep her with him for life if she did not give him a child. He wanted her to bear him a child. It did not matter if the child survived or not. Her blood ran cold instantly, and she dropped the pill to the ground.
Chad opened the door to Elyette’s office in Sterling Group once the company network was restored.
“Mr. Foster, the Network Security Department asked me to take this to you,” he said while setting down a stack of documents before Elyette.
Elyette glanced at the document and asked, “What are these?”
“… I think these are the codes of the malware written by Hayden Tate.” Chad simply glanced through it. He did not dare continue reading.
Elyette opened the file and saw a sentence hidden within the code that said, (Elyette Foster is an idiot.)
His expression darkened. When he flipped to the second page, he saw another sentence.
(Elyette Foster falls into the river while driving!]
On the third page was (Elyette Foster runs out of toilet paper in the bathroom), while on the fourth page, there was another sentence (Elyette Foster chokes on bread.]
Elyette picked up the documents and tossed them into a paper shredder. Despite the dark expression on his face, he did not respond in any way. Hayden was a four-year-old child, after all, and Elyette did not intend on taking him too seriously.
Just then, someone knocked on the door and pushed the office door open..
Ben stood by the door and said, “Let’s go eat, Elyette!”
