Chapter 1026
There was only this one video in the cryptic file Bruce had kept it encrypted, probably
fearing his wife might stumble upon it
Thalassa had especially warned Atticus not to click on it. She feared that the contents
might scare the boy and be detrimental to his development.
She had endured so much, for so long, and now she could finally delete the video that
Bruce had been using to threaten her.
At this moment, Thalassa was a whirlwind of emotions excited, anxious, and on the brink
of tears
No one could understand what she was feeling, and no one knew what she had been
through all this time.
Atticus, ever the obedient kid, hovered the mouse over the video and opted to delete it
without a second glance.
The screen blinked as the video vanished, leaving an empty space in the file directory.
Thalassa heaved a sigh of relief but only for her nerves to tense up again. She turned to

chance of recovery by any means?”
She had deleted the video from Bruce’s phone with great difficulty; but if Bruce managed
to restore it, there was no telling how far he might go next time.
Atticus nodded seriously, his lovely, profound eyes locking with hers as he said, “Don’t
worry, Mom. It’s gone for good. No one can bring it back. It’s impossible to recover.”
“That’s a relief. Time to hack into the computer then.” Thalassa said, snapping back to
reality and focusing on Atticus’ tablet screen.
During her last visit to Bruce’s place, she had covertly memorized the Wi-Fi password and
screenshot the network name when Bruce had logged in.
With the Wi-Fi name and password, Atticus quickly deployed his impressive hacking skills
to breach Bruce’s family network.
That day, Thalassa hadn’t had the chance to check which model of computer Bruce used,
but there were only two in Bruce’s villa.
They’d go one by one.
The first computer they accessed was filled with makeup tutorials and fashion vlogs, likely
belonging to Susan.
Atticus rifled through the files rapidly, with Thalassa watching over his shoulder. Nothing
seemed out of place.

Despite his young age, Atticus’ decisiveness was remarkable. “It’s not this one. It’s the
other computer. I’ll remotely access that one right away.”
“Thank you, Atticus. You’re doing great.” Thalassa said. Her brows knitted with concern,
and her voice tinged with urgency.
The stakes were high, and she wished she could delete the compromising files from
Bruce’s computer in the blink of an eye to rid herself of the looming threat.
Atticus could sense his mother’s anxiety and didn’t miss a beat. His small fingers flew
across the keyboard, and there was one more program away from accessing Bruce’s
computer.
Suddenly, the letters on the screen started to cascade downwards, showing an

Thalassa’s breath caught at the sight of the uncontrollable screen. Her pupils dilated as
she asked, “What’s happening?”
A tiny bead of sweat trickled down Atticus’ little cheek. He didn’t bother wiping it away. His
focus fixed on the screen as his hands worked to rectify the situation.
“Someone’s manually booted up the computer, so I can’t use remote access from here.
But I can hack into Bruce’s family surveillance to see who’s at the computer.” Atticus
explained, his attention never wavering from his task.
Having infiltrated Bruce’s network, Atticus had a clear view of the connected devices two
desktops, three surveillance cameras, and three mobile phones.
–
Although he wasn’t sure where the cameras were positioned, he could hack into them and
check their coverage.
With a few rapid keystrokes, the surveillance feeds popped up on the computer screen.
The display split into four, showing different angles. Three feeds were empty, but one
showed Bruce sitting in front of a computer, clicking away with his mouse.
Atticus clicked and enlarged this particular feed.
