Chapter 1809


    Atticus probably wouldn''t even call that man "dad."


    Lysander''s eyebrows furrowed slightly, the light in his eyes dimming.


    "Dad, don''t worry, I won''t let anyone bully you or Mom!" Just as Lysander was silently grieving, Atticus''s youthful voice suddenly spoke up.


    Lysander''s dim gaze lit up like a switched-onmp at the sound of Atticus. His eyes could hardly hide the excitement.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    What did he just call him? He called him dad!


    That single word, "dad," dispersed all the clouds in Lysander''s heart, and his furrowed brows finally rxed.


    "Atticus Sinir, what are you doing here instead of being at the military academy? Did you sneak out, does your drill sergeant know?" Payton finally couldn''t sit still any longer, walking up to Atticus Sinir and confronting him with the authority of an elder. His words were meant to suppress him.


    "I''ll call your drill sergeant and have him take you back," Payton said, pulling out his phone to make the call.


    Thssa was about to snatch his phone away. She and Atticus had just reunited, and now Payton was trying to have someone take Atticus away again. She wouldn''t have it.


    Before she could act, Atticus''s calm voice rang out: "No need to call, I got permission to leave for today from my drill sergeant. I have a leave slip." Saying so, Atticus took the leave slip out of his pocket and showed it to Payton. The leave slip even had the drill sergeant''s stamp on it. Payton nced at it, realized the leave slip was real, and irritably put his phone back in his pocket. "What are you doing here, kid?"


    "I knew my mom had a jewelry


    designpetition today. I saw on


    TV they were using her of giarism. Tknew she was in trouble, so I immediately asked for leave toe here. I didn''t waste time on the way either. I hacked into all the surveince footage from before and after the contest, even restored the deleted parts, and managed to extract the audio as well."


    Atticus spoke to Payton with a very calm tone, his voice t without any hint of fluctuation. But his words stunned everyone present.


    Especially Wyatt, who was so shocked he couldn''t speak. The person Callum mentioned who could restore deleted videos and retrieve surveince audio was this boy, not even ten?


    Payton was dumbfounded, staring at Atticus Sinir in total disbelief. When he had set everything up, he hadn''t considered Atticus Sinir at all, since he had been at the military academy for three years and hadn''t shown up. He didn''t just forget about Atticus Sinir; he also assumed that being at the academy, Atticus wouldn''t be aware of what was happening outside.


    He had known before that Lysander and Thssa''s son Atticus was aputer prodigy, having hacked into the Sinir group andted several billion at the age of four His major at the academy was also rted toputers. Now, his skills withputers had deepened even more. Restoring videos and audio was child''s y for him!


    "Is what they''re saying true? Did you really tell them to do this?" Atticus then asked Payton, doubtfully.


    Payton was left speechless.
