Seeing that Dorothy remained silent, Kenneth resorted to his final trick.
"Ah, I've got this stomachache, you know! The doctor said I can't go hungry."
With him saying that, Dorothy had to accept his invitation.
Even if she knew these were all excuses, Kenneth just wanted to get out of the house, rather than stewing alone in his room.
"Thank you, Kenneth."
"I should be thanking you for gracing me with your company for dinner, let's go."
...
At night, everything outside was quiet.
Suddenly, a light flickered on in a room that was previously dark!
Abigail, who was still sleeping, was startled, rubbing her bleary eyes. She saw her brother sitting at the table doing something.
She stretched, then shuffled over in her slippers, "Bro, what are you doing?"
Langston glanced at her, smacking his forehead, "Forgot you were still in here! I'm sending some data to my mentor."
He then showed Abigail what was in his hand.
But she didn't understand, all she saw was a mess of data.
"Who's your mentor?"
"My mentor is really something!" Langston lit up his eyes at the mention of his mentor, "He's the best in the hacking world!"
"Wow!" Abigail clapped, full of admiration in her face, "Can I meet him?"
"No, he doesn't meet people." Langston continued to tinker with his stuff.
Abigail was no longer sleepy and pulled up a chair to sit next to him.
It was rare to have her big brother around, so Abigail didn't want to sleep. She clutched at the hem of his shirt, afraid he'd leave.
"Why did you suddenly come, Bro?"
Langston paused and scoffed, "Came to find our deadbeat dad."
"Deadbeat dad?"
"He even cheated a kid out of five dollars. What a deadbeat dad!"
Abigail suddenly understood, "So that's what a deadbeat dad is! Bro, do you know where he is? Can you get my five dollars back?"
That was money she had taken a lot of effort to get!
"Don't worry, I'll stand up for you! I'm currently searching his company's data, looking for something to defeat him."
Abigail didn't understand the data, but she understood what 'defeat' meant.
So late at night, while Langston was looking for flaws, Abigail was by his side cheering him on.
Until dawn was about to break, Langston still came up with nothing.
He was not willing to give up, thinking about some other clues.
Abigail had long since fallen asleep in her chair, even drooling! But even so, she didn't ask to leave Langston.
Langston glanced at his sister, sighing helplessly.
He originally wanted to take her for revenge. Right now, it seemed too troublesome to bring her along! Better to forget it.
