Elijah smirked to himself. Ian was actually trying to play daddy! What a joke.
But the kid did have some guts.
He had stayed over last night, and Elijah could bet that Ian didn't sleep a wink out of sheer anger. So, that was why he attacked his company's network overnight.
He should be angry, but picturing Ian's restless and irritated face, a smug smile crept onto Elijah's lips.
"Boss, should we call the police?" Joey asked.
Elijah strode down the stairs and casually replied, "What's the situation with the IT security department now?"
Joey: "They are fixing it urgently."
Elijah: "When can it be fixed?"
Joey: "They said it could be done before noon."
Elijah reached the ground floor, "No need to call the police."
Joey: "Alright. Boss, do you suspect it was Ian?"
Elijah: "Drop the 'suspect'."
Joey couldn't help but laugh, "Alright! He's like a wonderkid! After the last attack, our tech department upgraded our firewall, but he still managed to break in."
Elijah: "So what if he's a genius? He's gone off track at such a young age. If Violette keeps indulging him, he's destined to be a future jailbird."
Sarah: "Thank you for liking me. But if I stay here, Elijah might not be pleased."
"He's not that petty! Right now, you need to rest and take care of yourself," Grace handed her a beautifully wrapped gift, "This is a little something from me. I hope you won't resent Elijah and will continue to treat Makayla with all your heart."
Sarah accepted the gift box. So, the old lady was being so nice to her because she still had some use for her.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best," Sarah opened the gift box to find a beautiful bracelet, "This is gorgeous, thank you."
"My daughter-in-law once wanted to get this bracelet, but I couldn't bear to give it to her," Grace smiled, "Giving it to you today shows how much I appreciate you."
"Hmm! Actually, I don't resent Elijah. It's just that we weren't meant to be." Sarah said calmly.
Just then, a maid came over and whispered something to Grace. Her face tightened immediately, and she got up and headed inside.
