A line of words appeared on Clarissa's computer screen: Little girl, if you dare to act rashly, I will delete everything on your computer.
Clarissa went ballistic.
She immediately typed: Id like to see you try. If you delete my stuff, I'll come after what you hold dear'.
She had painstakingly saved a lot of anime and other files. If someone messed with that, there was going to be hell to pay.
Unknown: I hold nothing dear. Unless...
you want to fill that position for me ?
Clarissa gritted her teeth and responded with: You wish! What are you trying to do, hacking into my surveillance system? Who are you?
Unknown: What a greedy little girl with so many questions. I'm not going to answer them all at once. However, I will answer one question. If you tell your parents, then I'm not going to have fun with you anymore.
Clarissa was infuriated.
It was the first time she had met an opponent like this.
Clarissa: FinelSon of a b*tch! I need to catch this person.
Unknown: I will answer your first question. You asked what my intentions are, yes? I just liked how you decorated the place and wanted to take a look.
Clarissa sneered. Like hell Id believe that!
Clarissa: I won't tell my parents, but I need to know who you are.
Unknown: What a greedy little girl. I'll let you know tomorrow.
After that message was sent, the unknown hacker went offline.
Clarissa's computer then returned to normal.
She gritted her teeth.
What a horrible person that was! I need to be prepared tomorrow to expose them!
In Jadeborough, at Florinia Manor, Samuel was having a conversation with Leonard.
“Could you be any more bothersome?” he asked flatly.
“I was caught by a little girl and I didn't want to lose,” Leonard complained. “I just wanted to tease her.”
“You really are bothersome.” Richard narrowed his eyes. “Mr. Macari asked you to keep tabs on the Watsons, but instead, you've decided to stare at little girls. How shameless of you.”
Leonard snorted disdainfully. “And I suppose you're upright? Don't think I don't know that you're using Kathleen as an excuse to get close to Gemma.”
Richard huffed. “Don't give me that crap. I'm a doctor, and she's a nurse. Our paths will always cross.”
“Then why did you suggest transferring Gemma to your department, effectively letting her be around you all the time?” asked Leonard teasingly. “I guess still waters run deep. Arc you going to pull all the stops on her then?”
“Me?” Richard sneered. “What about Mr. Macari then?”
Samuel’s expression was icy.
“You're awfully quiet, Mr. Macari.
What's up?” asked Richard with a wry smile.
“1 reckon it must be unbearable seeing Kathleen speaking to another man,” said Leonard sardonically.
“Do you two want me to throw you out?” Samuel asked coldly.
“Mr. Macari, don’t be upset,” said Richard comfortingly. “I daresay that Kathleen has gotten over you already and that she only cares because of Old Mrs. Macari.”
Leonard agreed readily. “Indeed. I was rooting for you both, but she wasn't moved by me trying to matchmake you two. Even if anything happened, I doubt Kathleen would have acted on it.”
“It's normal for divorced couples to sleep with each other, too,” said Richard thoughtfully. “What's more, she has her brother to think about. You are less important than he is to her.”
Samuel was silent.
He knew that he no longer held any sway over Katherine's heart.
Richard and Leonard were right.
If it wasn't for Diana, Kathleen would not have tolerated him.
If Kathleen had to choose between him and Charles, it went without saying that Charles would have emerged victorious.
He was nothing to her. Even so, he wanted to ease Kathleen's burdens.
Back at the manor, Nicolette was receiving treatment from Lauren.
She wanted nothing more than to get up again.
After Lauren treated her with acupuncture, she said coldly, “Your injuries are so bad that you won't be able to stand up for a year and a half. Even if you do manage to stand, you won't be able to walk very well in the future.”
Nicolette looked at her legs glumly. “It'll be fine as long as I can stand.”
She had to seek revenge on both Kathleen and Samuel for this.
Thud!
A bamboo tube on Lauren's table fell to the ground.
