"Where are you now?" The tone on the other end of the call was not friendly. Nina was nervous when she heard that.
The other person was Percy’s mother and the matriarch of the Mallory family. It was not the first time that she had called Nina on the phone, but there must be a reason why she was calling Nina today.
"I'm on my way to work, Mrs. Mallory. Is there anything?" Nina answered as she opened the car door.
"That's 'Madam' for you, Nina. I want to talk to you about something. When are you free?"
Nina smirked self-deprecatingly. Should she feel honored that Mrs. Mallory wanted to meet her at her convenience?
That was such a respectful gesture!
Nina knew very well why Mrs. Mallory wanted to meet her." How about noon today? I have sfree tduring lunch.
Mrs. Mallory replied, "Alright, noon it is. We'll meet at the restaurant under your office."
"Yes, Madam." After Nina gave her reply, the other party ended the call. She chuckled dryly as she listened to the busy tone on the phone.
Jean, Mrs. Mallory... everyone was looking for trouble with her.

Secretly, she hoped that Mrs. Mallory would intervene and end the relationship between Percy and her.
Percy brought a man named Adrian Daley to T Corporation. Before they could identify themselves, the receptionist brought them to the guest lounge.
Luke cinto the lounge, and Jason followed behind him, carrying a laptop in each of his hands.
Percy stood up and introduced the man next to him. "Adrian, this is Mr. Luke Crawford. Mr. Crawford, this is Adrian Daley. He's a genius at computers."
"Nice to meet you." Luke shook hands with Adrian.
Adrian adjusted his glasses slightly and said, "Mr. Mallory has toldwhat happened. You want to track down the attacker's IP address, right?"
"Yes. My IT department said that there's no way of tracking them down, so I'd like to trouble you to do that for me," Luke said. He waved his hand, and Jason placed the laptops in front of Adrian.
"If the attacker terminated the connection immediately after the alarm was raised, then it'll be very difficult to track them down. I can still give it a try, but if I can't track them down, I don't think anyone else in the world would be able to," Adrian said. He turned on the laptops and found that they were already connected to T Corporation's internal network.
"Thank you," Luke said. The IT department had identified several flaws in the network security system after the attack, and they were busy repairing them. Luke did not hope that they would be able to identify the attacker.
"Don't mention it," Adrian said as he went to work.
Tina knocked on the door and cin carrying a tray with a few cups of coffee on it. She smiled gently and placed the cups on the table.
As Adrian typed deftly on the keyboard, Percy stood up and said, "Adrian doesn't like any distractions whenever he's at work. Let's go somewhere else. I also have something to discuss with you."
Luke nodded, and the three people left the guest lounge.
Percy went into the CEO's office, sat down on the couch, and crossed his legs. "Your company network has been attacked for two consecutive weeks. Why are you so unlucky?" He said teasingly.
Luke did not reply to the question. He was deep in thought.
Cleaning up the mess left at the subsidiary company in New York was relatively easy. However, the head office was the one under attack this time. If the attackers had gained access to their top-secret documents, dealing with the fallout of the attack would make Luke very busy for a while.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Why do you think they're attacking you? Is it for financial gain?" Percy said.
"I don't know," Luke shook his head and said. That was the truth because he had no idea who was attacking him.
The attack on the New York subsidiary company had taken them by surprise, but they managed to correct the mistakes in time. The attackers would have no use for the stolen information because Luke changed the company directives after he realized that the documents were leaked. The top- secret documents in the attacker's hands were nothing more than trash.
This time, the attacker had alerted the IT department to the attack. Even if they managed to gain some top-secret information, they would not be able to capitalize on it.
No hacker would be so stupid as to peddle useless information.
Percy frowned, thinking that whatever was happening to T Corporation was a cause for worry. T Corporation had grown steadily over the past few years, and no other company dared to offend them.
Now that T Corporation was under attack, it signified the fact that someone might be planning to make a move on the other corporations. Percy could not afford to keep his guard down.

"What is it?" Percy said as he reclined on the couch.
"Bianca is an impostor." Luke did not beat around the bush.
"What? What do you mean?" Percy did not understand." She's an impostor?"
"Exactly. Someone has impersonated her," Luke said and took a sip of coffee.
"Didn't they perform a DNA test on her?" Percy could only find it unbelievable.
"Someone swapped the test samples. A while ago, Lanie and Rainie performed another DNA test behind my back. Also, when Bianca was hospitalized earlier, she took a blood test, and the blood types did not match," Luke explained.
Percy's eyes widened. "Who could have done it? They gave you a fake wife!"
Luke glanced at him coldly and continued, "It's the Island of Despair. We found a tattoo on the impostor Bianca's body. That's the proof."
"Didn't we wipe out the Island of Despair a few years back? Why would..." Percy thought that there was more to the incident. "Also, haven't you been keeping an eye on things for the past few years? How could they..."
Luke sent a photo of the tattoo on Bianca's back to Percy." The tattoo is slightly different from the original one, but the shape is roughly the same. It shows that someone has rebuilt the Island of Despair. Judging from the similarity to the original symbol, it also shows that the person is very close to Robert."
Percy looked at the photo on his phone and sank deep in thought...
"If the Island of Despair still exists, where could their base of operations be? Could they be behind the two attacks too?"
"We'll only know after we identify the IP addresses," Luke said grimly.
Percy could understand why Luke was feeling that way. If the attacks were indeed conducted by the Island of Despair, it meant that they had been operating in secret. Luke and Percy did not know what they were planning and would be at a disadvantage.
Things were not looking great...
