"I just called Mike, Sir. He said he wasn't the one who hacked into Charlie Tierney’s account." Chad adjusted his glasses, then continued, "He said it was Hayden."
Elliot covered the microphone on his phone, then hung up.
It was Hayden.
It was not surprising!
Hayden knew the entire time that Layla was the one who took the box, so he must have already known about the box's contents.
He suddenly recalled that the reason why he almost strangled Hayden to death was that Hayden had said that he was sick.
He did not think about why Hayden would say such a thing at the time. Now that he thought about it, he was a complete idiot!
Hayden had known about Elliot's secret this entire time. Even if Elliot never laid a finger on Hayden back then, Hayden would still never acknowledge Elliot as his father!
Hayden looked down on him! Otherwise, he would not have hacked into Charlie's account and nonchalantly reveal Elliot's secret to the public.
"Hayden was just playing a prank, Sir." Chad only knew that Hayden was behind this, but he did not know why he would say something like that.
"It's not a prank," Elliot said with certainty.
"He did it on purpose."
"Even so, you shouldn't hold it against him. He's just a child, after all. Besides, he probably did it to stand up for his mother." Chad was guessing from Hayden's point of view.
Elliot shut his laptop, then walked around from behind his desk.
When he arrived next to Chad, he said in a low voice, "Go home!"
Hayden did what he did to tell Elliot that he knew about everything.
He never took Elliot seriously before, and that was still the case.
He could easily make Elliot's fear public and not be afraid of Elliot taking revenge on him.
