“Now that you have your own children, I heard that Jane is expecting twins. It’s such a joyous asion. Shouldn’t you invite your mother to celebrate together?” Mike had ulterior motives for calling them over.


    Jane interrupted, “Even if you invite her over and have her stay in the old mansion, aren’t you afraid of gossip from outsiders? You’re an old man living alone in the mansion with her.”


    Jane’s words left Mike speechless, and his face lost its luster.


    “I always thought you had a good temperament, so I wanted to discuss everything with you. But why do you speak so rudely?” Mike remained the same as before and didn’t seem particrly happy about Jane’s pregnancy.


    He was just slightly more polite than before.


    Jane stood up, ready to leave, and Patrick quickly stepped forward to support her.


    “Grandpa, it’s your business if you want someone toe over. You don’t need to discuss it with us. If shees back to the country and treats us the same way, then don’t me me for sending both of you overseas.”


    Patrick was ruthless and never left any room forpromise.


    Mike had experienced this side of him before.


    Watching their departing figures, Mike let out a long sigh.


    He had gained nothing but frustration, and Jane was feeling uneasy.


    “What does your grandfather mean by this? Is he nning to bring her back and oppose us again?” Jane had forgiven Beatrice for all the harm she had done, as long as she stayed overseas and didn’t cause any trouble.


    But she didn’t expect Mike to appear out of nowhere and twist things around.


    “Don’t worry, I won’t let here back.”


    “I hope so.”


    The conversation ended on an unhappy note.


    The next day, Patrick went back to thepany early, leaving Finley and Anthony to take care of Jane.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Jane couldn’t fall asleep all night and kept thinking about the matter.


    It made her feel extremely depressed and ufortable.


    At that moment, the event organizers called.


    They directly connected the call to Jane.


    “Ms. North, we sincerely apologize. We really didn’t know that person was your disciple, and it was indeed an internal matter of thepany. We hope you can delete thatment.”


    The organizers’ tone seemed even more firm, appearing as if they were apologizing to Jane, but in reality, they wanted her to submit to them.


    Just hearing their voices made Jane feel annoyed, so she hung up the phone without even responding.


    Then she opened herputer and saw the apology statement released by the organizers.


    They shifted all the me onto internal management and didn’t take any responsibility. They even disregarded the final oue.


    Furthermore, they were willing to reissue the award to Anthony.


    “Knock, knock, knock!”


    The knocking at the door interrupted Jane’s thoughts.


    “Come in!”


    Anthony entered with a worried expression. “The organizers said they wanted to give me the award directly, but I refused.”


    Jane gave him a thumbs-up.


    “That’s my good disciple. You mustn’t lose your dignity for these trivial gains.”


    The trophy itself wasn’t important to them; what mattered was the truth.


    In front of Anthony, Jane called the organizers again.


    This time, their attitude was somewhat softened.


    “Let’s discuss this. How about we organize a newpetition? What do you think?” Jane directly presented her conditions, making them consider it.


    The organizers hesitated for a while on the other end. “We also know that the whole issue was a result of our poor internal management. We admit our mistakes and have taken the trophy back from the neer. Let’s forget about thispetition. We can release a statement and directly give the trophy to Anthony.”


    They received yet another reply like this, going back and forth.


    Jane’s patience was wearing thin.


    “Are you sure? I think thispetition is important for yourpany to enhance its brand and reputation. You chose that neer probably because of their connection with your boss. But if you offend the entire hackingmunity over a smallpetition, do you think they will let it slide?” Jane sighed and continued.


    “Do you think the entire hackingmunity will spare you? Is it worth losing more over something so trivial?”


    Jane made her point clear and added a hint of threat at the end.


    “Now, you only have two options in front of you: either rearrange a newpetition or let the current situation continue to escte.”


    Jane never wasted time talking to unintelligent people.


    The organizers needed to consider their answer.


    Jane knew that one person couldn’t make such a big decision. They needed to discuss it thoroughly before reaching a final conclusion.


    She nced at Anthony and said, “Don’t be afraid when facing such situations in the future. Challenge them head-on. I want to see what tricks they cane up with.”


    Anthony nodded silently.


    The two of them sat beside theputer, watching the situation escte.


    Eventually, the organizers had no choice but to agree.


    They released a statement and expressed their willingness to rearrange a newpetition.


    They thought the matter would end there.


    However, the situation took an unexpected turn with the appearance of one person.


    Marion, who had been hidden for years, suddenly left ament on the organizers’ official website.


    “I’ll be the referee.”


    This move received apuse from all the hackers.


    They all knew that Marion had been the second-ce winner for three consecutive years.


    Jane had been the first-ce winner, and now the top three participants were joining forces. This raised concerns about the fairness of thepetition and attracted widespread attention.


    Even the organizers themselves hadn’t anticipated this turn of events escting to such an extent.


    Jane saw the overwhelming support on the hacker’s website.


    They all came forward to support Team Jane and Marion.


    “With these two, who would dare to bully us hackers?”


    “Don’t think we’re just behind-the-scenes workers.”


    This time, Jane gave these hackers some face.


    Thepetition was scheduled for the afternoon, and Jane, Anthony, and even Finley hurried to the venue.


    On the way, Finleyined, “Why didn’t they find a better time to reschedule thispetition? Just like that, it suddenlynded in the afternoon without any preparation time.”


    Jane and Anthony exchanged nces. For them as hackers, they were already used to such situations.


    Upon arriving at thepetition venue, they noticed that many fans were also gathering.


    As they made their way to the inner area, the organizers’ representative came out to greet Jane.


    They were escorted to the VIP room.


    “It’s been a long time since west met,” the representative said with enthusiasm.


    “We have already met, haven’t we?” Jane replied.
