Chapter 380
The The Quintets’ Hacking Edward uttered, “There’s not much we could do, then. Our people couldn’t find out anything, and Silas isn’t dumb enough to let us convince him to
do a DNA test.” Lara requested, “Grandpa might know something, since he investigated this. Perhaps you could pick up some clues from him.” Edward replied, “Yeah, I know
what to do. Don’t you worry”
He joined her in bed and held her in his arms.
Lara let out a sigh “Ben can’t do anything right. At first, he ruined his chances with the Smith Family, and now the Jones. I guess we’ll have 10 count on our Aleena now.”

Lara squinted her eyes. “It doesn’t matter that she’s young. I keep getting this feeling that Silas is hiding something. He’s got this different air around him now. We all know
how far his influence stems. With that negligible power of his, he doesn’t stand a chance against us Could he be getting support from somewhere else? Why am I feeling that
we are losing more and more of our grip over hirn now?”
Edward explained, “The company has been growing rapidly for the past two years. He does seem to be getting out of our control. Or you could be right-he might be busy
getting chummy with Brian to join forces with him.” Lara blurted, “Your sons are coming back to bite you, the one that fed them. This was all because you decided to let Silas
stay back then. And here we are. Not only did we fail to hold any shares in the company, he also took the throne from us, with Grandpa backing him. If we find our heads on
his chopping board one day, do you think he would show us any mercy?”
Edward took a deep breath and admitted, “Yes, it’s all my fault for causing this mess.”
Lara leaned in on him. “I shouldn’t blame you. Had I come into your life earlier, all these wouldn’t have happened. I actually have nothing against your son, but it’d be fair to at
least be on equal standing with him. This is what I call’insurance’. I just don’t want to be defenceless when they trample over us.” The next day. Silas called Brian the first thing
in the morning to check on him. Brian sounded exhausted; he merely replied, “I’m fine.” Silas raised his brow and asked, “What’s going on?” Slightly agitated, Brian answered,
“Nothing.” Silas pursued, “Did you feel any headache after you woke up?”
Brian replied, “Woke up? I didn’t even sleep at all.” Silas was surprised. “You didn’t sleep? What did you do, then?” Perhaps due to Silas’s incessant volley of questions, Brian

have gotten someone to hack our computer systems. Once I’m done with this, I’m going to beat them up in their territory!” Silas thought to himself, The Quintet’s gang
members are probably good at fighting and robbing. Tech-savvy tactics, such as hacking, don’t seem like their style. “Are you sure it was The Quintets gang?” Brian replied,
“We fought them back two nights ago, and the server went down last night. Who else could it be?” Silas asked, “So what’s the status now? Can it be fixed?” Brian was
agitated. “I have no idea. I’ve been keeping watch here for the entire night. The IT team said two hours at first, and then they said they needed more time, at least till tonight.
I can’t tell you when it will be fixed. Why did I even recruit this group of useless idiots?”
Silas reassured, “Don’t fret. I’ll find someone to help you on that.” Brian asked, “Who?” He paused. “Hello?” He looked at the cellphone. Did he just hang up on me? He
decided not to think further Whoever was being sent over might not be able to solve the problem anyway. Every member of his IT team was well paid and highly capable, and
they were recruited precisely to prevent such breakdowns from happening.
