Chapter 9 Messed-up Seniority The next day was the day Gianna agreed to treat Landon’s
great-grandpa. That morning, Gianna waited at home until around 10 AM. However, she
still heard nothing from him. After repeatedly glancing at the time, she
finally couldn‘t stand it anymore. Thus, she took
out her phone and gave him a call. “Do you still want me to treat your great-
grandpa? Can you act a
little more reliably?” Landon sounded very rushed and busy on the other side of the phone
. “Of course, I want you to
treat him! I‘ve told my mom the situation, and she will send somebody to get
you. Gianna, I‘m counting on you to treat my great–
grandpa‘s illness! I need to go! Right now, I‘m at the airport waiting to board my plane!”
“Hey, how can you leave just
because you want to leave? Have you settled South‘s schooling matters?”
“Rest assured, I‘ve already arranged everything. I‘ve settled
the admission procedures for his school. It‘s the Imperial Kindergarten located in Summer
City. You only need to show up there. I really can‘t talk to you anymore; l‘m about to board
my plane.” Landon spoke
extremely quickly, leaving Gianna with no chance to get a single word in. Then, he ended
the call.
After that, she became so depressed that she wanted to murder somebody. What‘s up with
him? He deceived me and brought me back to this country. Then, he left just like that, goi
ng back to the States. “What‘s wrong, Mommy?” South asked, lifting his head curiously. It
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas only at times like this that he resembled a six or seven–year–
old child. “Uncle Landon deceived us and brought us back, but now he has gone back to th
e United States all by himself.”
Thus, he nodded in understanding. “Landon has never been a reliable person and has don
e many other similarly unreliable things.” He blinked his large, innocent–
looking eyes, acting as if it had nothing to do with him. If Mommy finds out that I plotted t
his ruse, will she smack my bottom? But, I want
a daddy! Naturally, I will give priority to my biological daddy. Still, even though Silas Nolan
isn‘t all that great, he is wealthy and handsome. Most importantly, he is my biological fath
er! Just that fact alone is enough for me to list him as the top candidate to become my
daddy! Gianna sighed, then patted his small head. “In the future, you can joke around all
you want. But, Uncle Landon is younger than me by five years. You can’t
keep calling him Landon, can you? Won‘t that mess up the seniority?” South felt a little
speechless. I wonder who among us is the one messing up the
seniority? My daddy is Landon‘s uncle. If so, what‘s wrong with me calling him Landon the
n?
However, he didn‘t dare voice his opinion for fear of angering her. Hence, he obediently re
plied, “I know, Mommy. He won‘t get angry at me for that.”
As they were talking, a knock sounded on the door, Thus, Gianna hurriedly stood up and gl
anced at the video feed of the intercom A woman slightly over forty was standing outside
with two bodyguards beside her, Opening the door, Gianna asked politely, “May I know wh
o you‘re looking for?” The woman outside was visibly taken aback. Then, she took a step b
ack and glanced at the house number again. “Are you Miss Aubrey?” “Yes, I am. And, you
are?”
Upon hearing her confirmation, Jade Nolan immediately became friendly. “Oh! Nice to mee
t you! I am Landon‘s mother. He told me to come over to pick you up. However, I didn‘t ex
pect you to be so young! Landon informed you about it, right? Old Man Nolan is sick, and b
ecause of that, Landon asked me to come and find you.”
Gianna smiled and replied, “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Hunter. Yes, Landon has informed me a
bout it. Please, come inside.”
On the other hand, South
facepalmed. What is with this seniority? Are you telling me Landon‘s mother isn‘t on the s
ame level as Mommy? In response, Jade hurriedly waved her hands. “Miss Aubrey, please
don‘t trouble yourself. If you are
ready, we can leave now.” Thus, Gianna amiably replied, “Sure. Please wait a moment.” Af
ter saying that, she walked into her room and came out with a black backpack. “Let‘s leav
e right now. Saving people is a priority.” “Sure, sure; let‘s go,” Jade said, leading the way o
ut of the door. With that, they left the house, got into a black Bugatti Veyron, and headed t
oward the Nolan Residence.
At Nolan Group, Silas stared at the 50 million worth of lost data on his computer, as well a
s that arrogant four–syllable word ‘unrepentant‘.
The look in his eyes was deep. He was becoming more and more impressed by the hacker
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat managed to penetrate his company‘s firewalls and infiltrate the internal system on
more than one
occasion. This person could infiltrate the company‘s systems and catch all personnel in th
e company unawares. Naturally, that meant he could have wreaked greater havoc by
causing more losses to the Nolan Group. However, he didn‘t. That tells me that the hacker
isn’t actually trying to cause losses to the company.
Perhaps… Yeah, I must have unknowingly offended this person. So, he gave me
a warning. But… When did I offend this person? For it to happen twice in a day…
Moreover, the attack at night had occurred around 11 PM. At that time, I was still at the
auction house. So, who could I have offended? Then, he frowned
suddenly. Could it be that woman? Now that I think about it, didn‘t the attack on the comp
any‘s defense system occur after I kicked her out of the company? Then, after
the bidding competition with that woman last night, the defense system was attacked
again.
Don‘t tell me… that woman isn‘t just a thief, but a computer expert as well? Still, if she had
abilities like these, why would she need to
steal phones? At that moment, a phone rang, dragging his thoughts back to the present. Gl
Man Nolan‘s affairs. “President Nolan, Young Lady Jade brought a woman with her to the No
want to come back and have a look?”
Silas frowned. Right now, Grandpa‘s condition is very weak; he can‘t take any form of stres
whatsoever. “Stop them for now. I‘ll be there right away.”
