Chapter 307
Chapter 307 Luke Is Ruthless When He’s Angry!
Late at night.
Xavier called Pierre and asked him, ‘You've released Nina?" "My brother called to tellto let her go, and I can’t disobey him. Don't worry, I've already taken her nude photos. Just letknow if you need any help," Pierre said lazily.
"Whatever. We'll talk later.’ Xavier hung up the call unhappily.
Nina was an important pawn in his plan. He could use her to threaten Bianca. Now that he had lost a pawn, his power over Bianca decreased.
Luke was closing in on his family business as though he wanted to raze Tanner Corporation to the ground. That had troubled him greatly.
He had ended the call when his phone suddenly rang again.
He frowned hard when he saw the call notification. It was from his father. There could be no good news.
Xavier did not want to pick up the call, but the phone continued to ring.
With no other choice, he braced himself and answered the call. "Hello, Dad
"How many problems must you bring me, you scoundrel?’ Daniel's angry voice could be heard over the phone. ‘Don't you know what you have done? How dare you oppose Luke? You ought to know that he's ruthless when it comes to business!" "Why are you always scolding me, Dad? He's the one at fault,’ Xavier retorted impatiently.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDaniel felt his chest tighten when he heard Xavier’s retort. "I was wondering why the company is under attack later. I went to meet Luke and he toldthat it's because of that Bianca woman. Cant you be a little more considerate to me, Xavier? Why must you fight with Luke over that woman?” "That's not entirely correct, Dad. I'm not fighting with him over that woman.
He's trying to snatch her away from me. My marriage with Bianca is entirely legal and protected by law. Luke is the one who is trying to separate us. You should know who is right and who is wrong." Xavier was indignant.
"Can you stop opposing him, my son? You're not his match. Listen to your dad and divorce Bianca. You're still young, and you can find a better woman. If Luke wants that woman, let him have it."
Daniel sighed. "Do you really want to see the company that I've built up over the past three decades fall into ruin?’
Daniel sat on the couch as he talked to Xavier. He seemed older by ten years.
Lacey also sighed.
The atmosphere in the cavernous mansion was lifeless.
Daniel looked at his son's portrait that hung on the wall. He had been handssince he was young, and even though he could be naughty, he nevertheless listened to his father. Now that the boy had grown up and had a mind of his own, Daniel could not control him.
Xavier's stubborn and arrogant attitude would eventually lead him to his downfall.
"You don't have to worry about me, Dad. I'll handle it. I'll also save the company. So that's it for now. I'm busy. Bye." Xavier immediately hung up.
Daniel was so angry that he nearly had a heart attack.
He channeled his anger to Lacey. "Look at how you've brought up your son! I've cleaned up his mess so many times since he was young. Because of him, the company is on the verge of ruin. If you hadn't spoiled him, he wouldn't have beclike this!"
Lacey was exasperated when she saw that Daniel was blaming her for everything. She pointed at Daniel and cursed, "Do you have a heart, Daniel Tanner? I'm the one who spoiled our child. So you're innocent then? If not that..."
Her tirade was full of accusations against her husband.
Lacey behaved like a shrew, insulting Daniel and flinging things at him. In his frustration, Daniel left the house and slammed the door, leaving Lacey sitting on the floor and crying...
The caretaker gingerly stepped forward and helped her up.
At the stime, a man in his late twenties with an unshaven face nimbly inputted several commands on his computer and deftly surfed the periphery of the Internet.
"This is strange. Where have all my posts gone?" He mumbled to himself.
He tried to search for the posts that he had made for his client but could not find anything, whether he tried searching for the topic or any keywords. His connection was either interrupted, or a notification appeared, saying that his content was blocked for legal reasons.
The unshaven man's nwas Gus Chalmers. He was a full-twriter on the Internet, and he had been hired by Xavier to write those posts.
He had studied programming in college, and he considered himself a hacker. Gus would sometimes infiltrate the internal network of a police station. He had never been caught.
That was why Xavier could trust him to carry out his request.
However, Gus had realized that all the posts he made for his client had disappeared. It was the first tthat he felt anxious.
His heart was thumping hard, and he had an ominous premonition...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGus was not a superstitious person. He opened his notepad and prepared to copy and paste what he wrote on Xeddit once more. However, he realized that he could not post it, even with his custom backdoor programs.
Gus started to sweat. 'What's going on?' He thought.
At that time, he received a call from Xavier.
"What's wrong with you? Why have all the posts disappeared?" Xavier was exasperated. "You told me that you're a hacker as well as a writer, and that's why I gave you the job. All your posts have disappeared in a few days. You disappoint me, Gus!‘
Gus's face turned pale.
He did not know why that had happened. The matter was out of his control.
"Don’t worry, Bro. I'll think of something...”
While he was speaking, his room door was kicked open, which almost caused Gus to fall from his chair!
"Who are you? What do you want? Is this a robbery?" He could only stare wide-eyed as several men and women in police uniforms barge into his room and point at him with handguns.
"Freeze, police!"
Gus lifted his hands high. He almost wet his pants.
One of the male police officers produced his police ID and said coldly," You are suspected of committing cybercrime. Please cwith us!"
Beep... beep... beep...
On Xavier's side, his phone call with Gus was suddenly cut off. He could only hear the busy tone.
His heart sank and his eyes flashed with a sinister light. He stubbed out the cigarette that had nearly scorched his fingers.
