Chapter 505
Having savored a chip herself, Elowen realized that her brother, Atticus, hadn’t had any.
How could she enjoy such delectable treats without sharing with her dear brother?
Elowen, holding a chip, extended her tiny chubby hand towards his mouth, “Here, Atticus, try some.
They’re really good.”
Atticus was engrossed in his work as his gaze was momentarily obstructed by Elowen’s offering.
I seemed to input a wrong character. He thought.
“Try it, Atticus,” Elowen’s voice was soft and coaxing.
Atticus epted the chip quickly, gulping it down as he continued to meticulously bury his IP. However,
due to his earlier mistake, a loophole was left.
Left with no choice, he had to force to exit.
Atticus exited his coding interface with a look of disappointment etched on his face. Dorian anxiously
approached him, “So, how did it go? Was it sessful?”
Atticus gave a nod, then a shake of his head.
The money had been sent to their mom’s bank ount, but a slight error urred during his IP
concealment. Even though it hadn’t been discovered yet, disaster would still loom once the Sinir
Group’s IT department noticed it.
Atticus didn’t quite grasp the full scope. But he had a nagging feeling that it was far from good.
Meanwhile, Thssa was in a cab, her heart was pounding with anxiety.
Her phone in her pocket buzzed faintly. She ignored that because she was too focused on getting
home.
Soon, the Vibrant Oasis Residences came into view.
As Thssa opened the door, she found the living room empty but heard some noise from the kitchen.
Heading towards the source, she could smell something burning.
A pan was sizzling on the stove, unattended, and she could smell the burn.
Evelyn was standing by the sink; she spaced out, her eyes vacant.
The faucet was running, overflowing the sink and spilling onto the counter; the fresh greens were
bobbing along with the overflowing water.

Evelyn was unresponsive.
Rushing in, Thssa turned off the stove first, then the faucet. Frowning, she admonished, “Mom,
what’s going on? You can’t space out while cooking. What if there’s a fire?”
Evelyn snapped back to reality, her eyes wide in shock. Spotting Thssa, she looked guilty.
“Thssa, you’re back…”
“Where are the kids?”
“They’re ying in their rooms.”
Relieved to hear they were safe, Thssaposed herself.
“Mom,” she began, her tone serious. “Did you take the dragon pendant from my drawer and sell it?”
Evelyn’s expression turned from shock to indignation. “How dare you use me?” She asked.
Thssa sighed, “It’s all in the past now. Just give me the money so I can return it”
“What money are you talking about? It’s just three hundred dors. What can you do with that?” Evelyn
avoided Thssa’s gaze..
“You mean three million.”Thssa countered, confused as to why her mother was being evasive.
“That pendant was entrusted to me by Lysander. We shouldn’t have sold it.” Thssa tried reasoning
with Evelyn.
“It was given to you by Lysander, so it’s yours. And what’s yours is mine. There’s no reason to return it.
Evelyn argued, although her conviction was wavering. “Anyway, I don’t have any money.” Her breathing
was heavy.
Thssa was stunned, “What do you mean? Where’s the money?”.
Suddenly, it dawned on her.
“Mom, did you gamble again?” She gasped.
“No, I just yed a few hands of poker and even won a few hundred dors. I invested all of the three
million in a fund. They said it had high returns, and withpound interest, I could make six million in a
month.” Evelyn, not one for keeping secrets, spilled the beans under pressure.
Thssa’s heart sank. That was a disaster.
“No fund can make that much money. It’s a scam.” Thssa stomped her foot in frustration.
Evelyn, who had been contemting whether she’d been duped, burst into tears at Thssa’s
confirmation.
