    Chapter 399 The Rich Boy


    As Hayden heard Nicole’s words, he looked up and gazed at her for a while before he confessed, “I


    was afraid you wouldn’t like what I was doing.”


    Nicole let out a sigh and slowly sat down beside Hayden. She then wrapped her arms around her son


    and caressed his head, exining seriously, “Of course, I won’t interfere with what you like doing,


    Hayden, but at your age, I’m worried that you may not be careful enough to foresee the consequences


    that follow your actions. So, if you let me know ahead, I could at least do something to back you up


    should anything go wrong.”

    Upon hearing his mother’s rification, Hayden was overwhelmed by his guilt. In fact, the reason he


    had been keeping Nicole in the dark about his identity as a hacker was that the assignments that he


    had been working with involved confidential intel, which was enough to spark a gang war in the


    underworld. Therefore, one wrong move could invite disasters that cost a life.


    Nheless, Hayden was confident with his own capability that he wouldn’t expose his whereabouts to


    his enemies. “I only epted these assignments because I wanted to be a really, really rich boy


    and give you a good life. In that case, you won’t have to work anymore,” Hayden answered.


    Nicole fixed her gaze on the child for a minute. “Are all these assignmentsplicated?” she asked, to


    which Hayden nodded in response. Helpless, Nicole pondered for a moment and added, “You must


    stay safe, Hayden. If you can promise me that while doing what you’re doing righteously, I will not


    interfere with your business.”


    When Hayden heard Nicole’s reply, he suddenly felt a lump in his throat. Back when he was younger,


    Nicole always left home early and came backte. Thus, he knew his mother had sacrificed a lot for


    him, which was why he started making money as soon as he picked up his hacking skills from Whitney.


    After all, he wanted to make enough money to live afortable life with his mother. While he thought


    Nicole wouldn’t understand his situation, he was stunned to realize that Nicole didn’t mind what he was


    doing at all.


    Therefore, he instantly felt guilty, thinking he shouldn’t have kept her in the dark about his secret. With


    his head kept down, he began to reveal everything to Nicole honestly. “Mommy, I’ve actually been


    epting jobs since a year ago. The name that I go by is ‘Nick’, but no one else knows about that


    besides you and Miss Whitney.”


    Nick?! Nicole couldn’t believe her ears. Although she was not familiar with the line of work in which her


    son was involved, she had heard about Nick’s name as the person behind the name was deemed to be


    the best hacker there was.Then, Nicole was reminded of the time that Zachary tried to search for more


    information about Hayden when she was still in F&M Apparel.


    Oh, man! I wonder how old those elite hackers would be after all the time they spent learning to hack.


    At the thought of that, Nicole was stunned when the person she had been wondering about was, in


    fact, her son. With her eyes wide open and her mouthrgely agape, she couldn’t seem to calm herself


    down and asked, “Hayden, tell me how much you’ve made so far.”


    Hayden looked down and roughly went through his bnce, eventually calcting his revenue to be


    approximately ten billion. He then turned his attention to Nicole and answered, “About ten billion.”


    Wait, what?! Nicole was left with her mouth wide agape when she heard the boy’s answer. After all, she


    had always thought she had a sessful career that paid her well and was sure she could live


    comfortably for the rest of her life with her son, but when Hayden revealed how much money he had


    been making, she realized her son was better at making money than she was.


    It’s only been a year, but he’s already made so much money. Nicole sat on the bed for a few moments


    before she could ept the truth. She then covered her forehead helplessly and let out a sigh, finding


    it ironic the fact that her son was richer than she was.


    With a brittle smile on her face, Nicole wasn’t sure whether she should be happy or sad about that.
