SWNOVELS Chapter 6
Chapter 6 Successfully Drew His Attention
Hanson's gaze was cold and terrifying, and if it were anyone else, they wouldn't have survived his stare. Even though Vania's expression had never changed since the beginning, she felt like she was going insane in her mind.
What she was worried about still happened! Her children really loved "surprising" her in every way. It was no wonder that Hanson would come over at this time, then. If it had been her company's Financial Department's system that was hacked twice in a row, she might have exploded long ago. Why were her children going against Hanson?
Although she was full of doubts, she still remained calm on the surface. "I see. Then, you may come in and have a look for yourself, President Luke. It's just that this is a big issue, so please don't frame an innocent person."
"Don't worry, Miss Greyson. I've never had the habit of accusing others."
Saying that, he immediately entered the premises. The house was decorated minimalistically with a unique design, and the mature style suited her extremely well. After scanning his surroundings, it didn't seem like there was any trace of another person. Hanson's brows furrowed as he looked Vania up and down. Was she good at pretending, or was there another reason...
At the same time, the three children in the bedroom were pressing their ears against the door and listening to the voices outside.
Jack clenched his fist. "If the Devil dares to bully Mommy, we'll go out immediately."
James shook his head at the impulsive Jack and dissuaded, "We can't. We've already promised Mommy, so we can't go back on our word. If we want to teach the Devil a lesson, there are many other ways to do that in the future."
Jacob agreed with James. "We have to listen to Mommy." How could the Devil compare to his ice cream, anyway?
Alas, their voices seeped outside the door. Although the content of their conversation couldn't be heard clearly, it was obvious that there was someone in the room. With a smile that didn't reach his eyes, Hanson glanced at Vania before striding to the room.
Her heart nearly falling out of her throat, Vania cried out, "President Luke, you can't enter that room!"
At that, Hanson stopped in his tracks. "Oh? What are you worried about, Miss Greyson?"
"Who said I'm worried? Don't you think that it isn't a good idea for a man like you to barge into a woman's room so suddenly?" Vania stepped in front of Hanson and blocked him from proceeding. "Miss Greyson, are you feeling guilty? I've already told you my reason, and I have to see this room today. I'd advise you not to stop me." His tone made it clear that he didn't accept no for an answer. Hearing that, Vania became aggressive as well and retorted coldly, "This is my house. Without my permission, you don't have the right to look inside!"
"Ha, then how are you going to explain why you hacked into Luke Corporation's internal systems multiple times?"
Their chilly gazes sparked as they clashed with one another, neither of them willing to give in.
Hanson scoffed coldly. "If that's the case, let's meet in court!"
"I'll be waiting." Vania was scared of nothing. She'd rather see him in court than let her babies get into trouble!
Just then, the room door suddenly opened, causing her heart to stop. However, when she saw who had come out from inside, she evidently let out a breath.
The babysitter, Theresa, held a small branch in her hand and explained to Vania huffily, "A cat showed up from God knows where, but I've already chased it away."
A smile reappeared on Vania's face. "Thanks for your hard work. You can leave now."
This must've been the doing of those three brats.
"Yes, Miss."
Turning around, Vania looked at Hanson, who was frowning and staring into the room, with a relaxed gaze. "President Luke, now that you've had a look, you don't have a say anymore. It's late, so I'd like you to leave."
Hanson glanced at the room, then back at her. His eyes were filled with an indescribable emotion as he said, "Goodbye."
He was certain that there was still someone else inside. After all, Vania's nervousness didn't escape his notice.
After he left, Vania sat on the couch, relieved. It was only after gulping down a large glass of water that her nervousness dissipated. Immediately, she called out to her children, "Kids, I'm sorry for earlier." "Mommy, we're fine."
Vania looked at her three children and sighed. "I don't care why you hacked Luke Corporation's systems, but I hope this matter ends here." Her expression was very serious as she declared, "Tomorrow, you have to return the 10 million you stole, and I don't want to see something like this happening again. Mommy is really angry this time!"
Jack lowered his head. "Mommy, we were wrong. Please don't be angry. We just wanted to make some money for you so that you wouldn't have to work so hard."
James apologized as well, "We won't do it again."
Jacob kissed her face. "Mommy, don't be angry. We'll be good."
Vania wrapped all of them in a hug and said, "Okay, Mommy isn't angry anymore."
...
Early in the next morning in Luke Corporation, the Finance Manager had a happy smile on his face as he trotted all the way to the President's office. He could barely hide his smile as he reported to Hanson, "President Luke, the hacker returned the 10 million and explained that they'd gotten the wrong person. It was all a misunderstanding."
After a moment of hesitation, Hanson said, "Let's go and have a look."
When he sat in front of the Finance Department's computer again, he didn't try to hack them but typed out a sentence instead: 'Who are you looking for? Maybe I could help you.'
James was disdainful. How could a person who couldn't even defend their company's firewalls offer his help? How funny. Thinking that, he proudly replied, 'I don't need it.' Then, he disconnected the computer. If it weren't for their mother, the children wouldn't have let go of this b*stard that easily.
As Hanson looked at the darkened computer screen, he realized that his excuse of helping them find someone was not quite ideal. And as for Vania, she successfully drew his attention...
