Isabella stared at those words on the screen, a slight frown crossing her brow.
Navier had hidden all the core resources of Moore Group inside the Moore Group encryption key, a secret known only to him.
What Barry was suggesting was that she steal Moore Group’s confidential information.
Just as Isabella was about to reply, another message from Barry came through.
“The most practical approach would be to get Moore Group to hand over the encryption key willingly.”
Barry usually didn’t pry into Isabella’s personal affairs, but when she had asked him to compile information on Moore Group, she had provided details of her own stake in the
company.
He should have been able to see her current marital relationship with Xavier.
Yet Barry’s idea seemed even more naive.
To have Xavier lay bare Moore Group’s vulnerabilities and personally hand them over to her?
If that were possible, what would be the point of her collaborating with the Whitman family?
Isabella sent Barry a smiley emoji for him to interpret as he wished, and their conversation ended.
Just then, Isabella’s phone buzzed with an incoming call from Hannah.
She picked up right away. “What’s going on? Why have you had your phone off all this time?”
The girl had been out of contact for a whole day and night. If she hadn’t called back soon, Isabella would have been ready to call the house looking for her.
“Mommy!”
The voice that came through the receiver wasn’t Hannah’s, but Skyler’s, soft and a little whiny.
“Skyler?” Isabella was taken aback. “Isn’t Hannah here? Why are you answering her phone?”
“Hannah… She caught a cold. She’s been asleep for a whole day and night.”
Skyler spoke very quietly.

As he talked, he glanced over at Hannah, who was holding a bowl of warm soup and clearly trying to avoid the phone call.
He had taken Hannah’s phone with him yesterday, and after using it, he had turned it off.
But he wasn’t lying: Hannah did have a cold.
She had slept on and off for a day and night, and Skyler had come and gone without her even
noticing.
It wasn’t until that afternoon, when she woke up that she realized her phone was off and Isabella had sent a bunch of messages!
Hannah felt awful about it. After hesitating for a long time, she had finally called Isabella back, but she had lost her nerve and let Skyler take the call and talk for her.
“Is that right?” Isabella felt relieved. “How is she now? Is she feeling any better?”
“Don’t worry, Mommy! Auntie has me here to take care of her!” Skyler unconsciously puffed out his little chest.
Some grown–ups weren’t even as capable as he was!
He was the one who had noticed Hannah had a fever when he got back, taken her temperature, bought the right medicine, and even taught himself how to make soup… he had done it all by himself!
Hearing this, Hannah’s face flushed slightly and she took a small sip of her
soup.
It was true; she wasn’t as useful as a kid.
She was supposed to be the one taking care of the child for Isabella, but she was a useless
aunt.
She was useless…
“You’re taking care of her?” Isabella’s voice sounded unsure. “Isn’t there anyone else at home to look after her?”
“I’m Auntie’s own nephew! Of course I have to be the first one to take good care of her!”
Skyler’s big eyes darted around as he quickly answered Isabella.
Hearing her good boy’s sensible words, Isabellalt a wave of comfort.
“Is she well enough to talk on the phone now? I’d like to say hi to your aunt.”

At Isabella’s words, Hannah immediately started waving her hands at Skyler, shaking her head
She didn’t want to talk to Isabella while she was ill all sick and weak.
I would make her seem even more useless.
“Auntie isn’t feeling great right now… she probably can’t come to the phone.”
“Is that so? Have you been behaving yourself lately?”
“Of course I have!”
Skyler hugged the phone and immediately launched into a monologue, his little mouth running non–stop for over ten minutes.
Finally, Isabella couldn’t help but cut him off. “By the way, how has Lydia been? Put her on
too.”
“Lydia… she went out,” Skyler said slowly. “Mommy, how has Jason been lately? Lydia and I both miss him!”
Just as Hannah was getting nervous, Skyler cleverly changed the subject.
The question did catch Isabella off guard.
