Chapter 380
The The Quintets’ Hacking Edward uttered, “There’s not much we could do, then. Our people couldn’t
find out anything, and Ss isn’t dumb enough to let us convince him to do a DNA test.” Lara requested,
“Grandpa might know something, since he investigated this. Perhaps you could pick up some clues from
him.” Edward replied, “Yeah, I know what to do. Don’t you worry”
He joined her in bed and held her in his arms.

Lara let out a sigh “Ben can’t do anything right. At first, he ruined his chances with the Smith Family, and
now the Jones. I guess we’ll have 10 count on our Aleena now.” Edward said, “Be patient. Aleena’s still
young. Why don’t we talk about this in two years?”
Lara squinted her eyes. “It doesn’t matter that she’s young. I keep getting this feeling that Ss is hiding
something. He’s got this different air around him now. We all know how far his influence stems. With that
negligible power of his, he doesn’t stand a chance against us Could he be getting support from
somewhere else? Why am I feeling that we are losing more and more of our grip over hirn now?”
Edward exined, “Thepany has been growing rapidly for the past two years. He does seem to be
getting out of our control. Or you could be right-he might be busy getting chummy with Brian to join
forces with him.” Lara blurted, “Your sons areing back to bite you, the one that fed them. This was
all because you decided to let Ss stay back then. And here we are. Not only did we fail to hold any
shares in thepany, he also took the throne from us, with Grandpa backing him. If we find our heads
on his chopping board one day, do you think he would show us any mercy?”
Edward took a deep breath and admitted, “Yes, it’s all my fault for causing this mess.”
Lara leaned in on him. “I shouldn’t me you. Had Ie into your life earlier, all these wouldn’t have
happened. I actually have nothing against your son, but it’d be fair to at least be on equal standing with
him. This is what I call’insurance’. I just don’t want to be defenceless when they trample over us.” The
next day. Ss called Brian the first thing in the morning to check on him. Brian sounded exhausted; he
merely replied, “I’m fine.” Ss raised his brow and asked, “What’s going on?” Slightly agitated, Brian
answered, “Nothing.” Ss pursued, “Did you feel any headache after you woke up?”
Brian replied, “Woke up? I didn’t even sleep at all.” Ss was surprised. “You didn’t sleep? What did you
do, then?” Perhaps due to Ss’s incessant volley of questions, Brian went on to exin,”Ourpany’s
server system went down. The IT department was trying to get it up the whole night, but it was useless.
Damn 11! The Quintets’ gang must have gotten someone to hack ourputer systems. Once I’m done
with this, I’m going to beat them up in their territory!” Ss thought to himself, The Quintet’s gang
members are probably good at fighting and robbing. Tech-savvy tactics, such as hacking, don’t seem like
their style. “Are you sure it was The Quintets gang?” Brian replied, “We fought them back two nights ago,
and the server went downst night. Who else could it be?” Ss asked, “So what’s the status now? Can
it be fixed?” Brian was agitated. “I have no idea. I’ve been keeping watch here for the entire night. The IT
team said two hours at first, and then they said they needed more time, at least till tonight. I can’t tell you
when it will be fixed. Why did I even recruit this group of useless idiots?”
Ss reassured, “Don’t fret. I’ll find someone to help you on that.” Brian asked, “Who?” He paused.
“Hello?” He looked at the cellphone. Did he just hang up on me? He decided not to think further Whoever
was being sent over might not be able to solve the problem anyway. Every member of his IT team was
well paid and highly capable, and they were recruited precisely to prevent such breakdowns from
happening.
