SWNOVELS Summer’s S**y Back with Two Babies by Danielle Griffin (Alick Hill ) Chapter 37
Chapter 37
Watching that Audi being gradually driven out of the residential community gate, Ballard suddenly asked this question for no reason.
Abby was taken aback for a moment, then honestly replied, “Toby is a pretty nice person.”
“I mean, what do you think about making him our dad?” Ballard asked.
“What?” Abby said. Her feet seemed to be equipped with springs as she jumped in surprise.
“Jeez, calm down,” Ballard said, giving her a disdainful glance before saying analytically, “Since that smelly man is not good enough, let’s just find a new dad then.”
Abby fell into deep thought. Although Toby had good qualities in all aspects, she reckoned that he was still a little inferior compared to Alick.
“I’ve looked into Toby’s background,” Ballard said. “It’s pretty average. He established his current company through his own efforts. The most important thing is that he likes Mommy.”
It was Ballard who suggested having Toby come over to help. He was among the guests invited by the Hill family in the first place, but he did not attend the birthday party due to some special reasons.
However, he still rushed over immediately the moment he received Summer’s call, which indicated that he valued Summer a lot.
For Ballard, this was very important.
Whether or not he had a father did not matter to him. After all, he believed he could take good care of Summer and Abby. But if there was someone who could treat Summer well, he was not opposed to accepting him as a father.
The moment he recalled the dirty deeds his biological dad did, he wished Summer would quickly leave the Hill family’s home.
Still hesitating, Abby said, “But…” She quite liked Toby as well, but if he were to be their dad, she suddenly did not feel as fond of the idea.
“I was just saying it casually,” Ballard said. “After all, this matter isn’t something we decide.” He patted Abby on the shoulder and continued, “If Mommy doesn’t fancy him, that’s not going to work out.”
Just as Abby was about to nod, she heard her phone ring.
[Is Alick dumb?]
After reading the message sent by Summer, Ballard instantly became furious, “Is he really our biological dad? Why is he so stupi d ?”
Summer wanted to ask Ballard to find evidence in the surveillance footage from the Hill family’s old mansion. which showed Joan instructing the ser v a n t to sabotage the gift. Then, Ballard would have to send it directly to Alick’s email.
With Ballard’s level of intelligence, he could instantly figure out what had happened, so he said as he clenched his small fist and gritted his teeth, “He scolded Mommy again for that wicked woman. I can’t stand it anymore!”

He thought, ‘Dam n it! If Mommy hadn’t spotted me, I would have taught that jerk a lesson!
Ballard immediately decided to teach Alick a lesson. He turned on the computer. With his fingers swiftly typing on the keyboard, he instantly hacked into the Hill Group’s local area network.
He thought, I withdrew midway the other day, but this time, there’s no way I’d do that!
Right after that, alarms went off in the Hill Group. “A bunch of idiots! It’s taken so long. Are you guys able to get it
done?”
Bill had not even entered the oflice when he heard the head of the network department scolding his subordinates harshly, causing him to quicken his pace.
Half an hour ago, he suddenly received a call from his subordinate, saying that the Hill Group’s system had crashed again, so he rushed over hurriedly.
“How is it going?”
“We are fixing the system. The person in charge lost all his arrogance when facing Bill. Beads of sweat covered hist forehead as he guiltily said. “The program set by the other party is too complex. We need a bit more time…
Bill conveyed this message to Alick using the same words.
“Got it,” Alick said, and then he hung up the phone with a grim expression, staring fixedly at the program code on the computer and thinking. This level of…
He had just remotely accessed the company’s local area network. This time, the hacker was aggressive. The complexity of the programmed code was beyond the capabilities of his subordinates to crac k.
Alick frowned, and he swiftly tapped on the keyboard, wondering who was the person behind this hacking.
“They actually intercepted my program?” Ballard said as he looked at the stalled code on the screen with a slight frown. Previously, he wondered how someone could so quickly cra c k the Trojan horse he set up.
The hacker had impressive skills, but he knew all the top hackers in the field, so he thought, ‘Where did this guy pop up from?
“I don’t care who you are,” Ballard said. “Since you’re helping that smelly man, don’t blame me for being nasty.”
Ballard muttered to himself as he sped up what he was working on.
In the study of the old mansion, Alick looked at the highly provocative words on the screen. He sneered and thought, ‘Interesting.

“How is it going?
The engineer nervously stared at the computer screen, only to realize that the system was gradually slipping their control. “It seems that someone is remotely controlling the system, attempting to intercept.”
The person in charge pressed on, asking, “What about the result then?”

The engineer shook his head. He could not access the system at all now. He could only helplessly watch as these two people battled it out.
“Who are these two hackers?”
The Hill Group’s network department nearly included all the nation’s top internet technology talents, but their capabilities were simply not worth mentioning compared to these two people. It was truly embarrassing.
But soon, someone noticed that the code written by one of the hackers looked somewhat familiar, and he said, This hacker resembles Nexus a lot.”
Nexus!” the person in charge thought, suddenly widening his eyes. That’s the hacker ranking second on the international hacker leaderboard. How on earth did we end up stepping on that whi z’s toes?”
“I’m not entirely sure, but I’ve specifically studied Nexus before. The way this person operates and the details in the code share too many similarities with Nexus’s style…”
Hackers had their own coding habits when it came to coding, and the code written by top international hackers. carried their distinctive programming language.
Even if someone tried to imitate, it was challenging to achieve such a degree of similarity.
Moreover, the cybersecurity defense level of the Hill Group was high. Apart from those top-ranked experts on the international leaderboard who could easily infiltrate, it was unlikely that anyone else could do so.

The
person in charge broke out in a cold sweat, tremblingly asking, “And the other one…
He thought, ‘Being able to hold his ground against Nexus for this long means he’s definitely one of the top-ranked hackers in the leaderboard. But which specific individual it is remains unknown.”
“Mr. Wilson, you must help me plead with Mr. Hill,” the person in charge said, almost crying, “I have no idea how we ended up stepping on Nexus’s toes…”
He thought, ‘With the company’s system having one problem after another, even if I’m not fired, I’ll be in deep. sh i t. But with Nexus in the picture, no one can stop him. Right now, I can only pin my hope on this mysterious hacker who can stand against Nexus. At least for now, he doesn’t appear to be an enemy.
Alick thought, ‘Nexus… It seems that he’s the one who played dirty tricks on me the other day. If that’s the case, let’s settle both old and new scores together.”
Alick smiled faintly, and his eyes were filled with nonchalance as he thought, ‘Counterattack starts now!
“Why does this person’s attacks suddenly become so aggressive?” In the office, Bill and several engineers were staring fixedly at the screen.
He thought, The mysterious hacker and Nexus were neck and neck a while back, but now, it looks like Nexus may be about to get outsmarted. Every move from the other side is quick, accurate, and harsh, making it impossible for Nexus to wait for the right moment to counterattack. It’s as if this person has been controlling Nexus right from
the start.

“Dam n!” Ballard was so angry that he felt like slamming the keyboard. He thought, “This guy’s got the nerve to play tricks on me! Not only did he guess where I’d strike every time, but he also planned carefully and purposely led me into a trap he had set up in advance. I can’t even find a way out.”
“What a sly dog! Ballard said.
He pouted. Displeasure was written all over his face as he thought, ‘If I had known this guy was such a whi z, I wouldn’t have underestimated him! But even if I lose, I can’t lose in such a way that makes me lose face big time!
“It the attack.”
seems like Nexus has given up
The engineers looked at each other, unsure of what to do. After being stunned for a moment, the person in charge. suddenly burst into laughter and said, “This person is badas s! It turns out that even Nexus is not his match!” He laughed heartily. Just a moment ago, he thought he might lose his job.
“Can we find out who this person is?” the person in charge said. “I must recruit him!”
Upon hearing this, Bill rolled his eyes.
The engineers shook their heads one after another, thinking. The only person who can defeat Nexus, who is ranked second on the hacker leaderboard, is Jetstream, who is ranked first. We didn’t expect that we’d get to see Jetstream’s actions firsthand. After all, he’s a legend, and he’s not like other top hackers who are usually active on the dark web.
The engineers were excited. As they watched the system automatically unlock, they were moved. That’s our idol!”
“Beep. Beep Beep. The alarm went off again, and the smile on the person in charge’s face instantly turned into a frown.
“What’s going on?” he said. “Didn’t Nexus already stop the attack?”
Then, an Al-animated character appeared on the screen.
I’m a fool! I’m a fool!”
Bill was dumbstruck.
This animated character had Alick’s face on top and the body of a pink pig below, repeatedly saying that sentence. with a mechanical electronic sound.
Everyone thought, ‘Nexus blatantly mock our CEO by saying that he’s a fool?”
Everyone in the office was dumbfounded.
“This b a st a r d is challenging me!” Ballard said. Looking at his masterpiece on the computer, Ballard had a smug expression.

everyone probably knew that Alick was depicted as a pig.
Finally helping his mother to teach Alick a lesson, Ballard suddenly felt more at ease.
He thought, ‘But… Jetstream, right? Since you’re helping that annoying guy, I’ll consider you my biggest competitor. Sooner or later. I’ll defeat you thoroughly!
At the Hill family’s old residence, just as Clark walked to the doorway of the study, he heard a series of c r a c k l i n g sounds coming from inside. He thought, And vaguely, there’s also the sound of electricity?”
He shivered and quickly left the study.
Meanwhile, Alick was staring at the computer screen with a sneer in the study. The motherboard next to him was sizzling and sparking.
He was Jetstream. Apart from Bill, no one else knew about this. As for Nexus…
No, he thought, something’s wrong.
Alick quickly grasped the situation, thinking, “He wasn’t targeting Jetstream. He’s targeting me. Why did he keep provoking me?”
Alick could not recall when he had a conflict with Nexus. ‘But Nexus has stepped on my toes, so he has to pay the price, he thought.
Alick always sought revenge for even the smallest grievance, never holding back.
“He’s defeated by me, yet he’s all high and mighty, he thought. ‘Does he think that I, the number one hacker, is someone to be trifled with?
