Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 399

Chapter 398 Caught Red-Handed

Soon, Whitney quickly realized that her feeble excuse wasn’t going to fool Nicole, but since she couldn’t think of anything else to say, she rubbed her nose and said, “Miss Nicole, perhaps it’s better for you to ask Hayden himself…”

Noticing Whitney’s hesitance, Nicole was starting to think there was something serious both of them were hiding from her. She then squinted and glared at Whitney, who felt goosebumps running all over her scalp. Since Nicole used to be a leader in her company, her gaze was so commanding and intimidating that Whitney began to feel panicky. She then spoke with a soft voice. “Miss Nicole…”

“Fine,” Nicole responded glacially as she continued to stare at Whitney.

“Miss Nicole, I think it’s better for you to ask Hayden yourself because I’m not really sure what he’s been doing either.” Whitney’s words gave away the guilt in her heart. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t even have thought of teaching Hayden how to hack. How gutsy of that guy to work for anyone from the underworld?! If anyone finds out about him, he could pay the price with his life.

Meanwhile, Nicole could tell from Whitney’s stammer that her son had something he was hiding from her. “Tell me what you know, and I’ll let you off, or we can do this the hard way until you talk. Think carefully before you choose.” Nicole glared at Whitney.

While Whitney was helpless upon hearing Nicole’s response, the reason she was hesitant to reveal what Hayden had been up to was not because of her reluctance but because she had no idea where to start. However, she soon made up her mind and answered, “Miss Nicole, I taught Hayden how to hack earlier, but he’s proven himself to be rather exceptional and talented in that line of work. A few months later, I ran out of things to teach him, and he now does everything by himself, much to my surprise.”
