The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel 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 Atticus and asked, “Is it completely and permanently deleted? Like, gone forever with no 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.
