Chapter 218
Zeke looked hesitantly at the expression of Jared, who was leaning against the wine cabinet, looking at
him with stern eyes and a smirk, behind Nicole.
After seeing what Jared was playing with in his hands, Zeke immediately said, “No, no. It’s okay. I can
handle it.”
Nicole was stupefied, not knowing what was wrong with Zeke, but she did not insist. “If you have a
problem, find me.” Before the two worked together, Specter had been mentoring him personally.
Fiddling with a computer should not be a problem for him. 2
Zeke nodded and headed back next door absent-mindedly. He shuddered involuntarily when he
thought about the look in Jared’s eyes. He also thought about the toy-like, sharp dagger that glinted in

messing with now.
Zeke turned on the JW3000. It was a little larger and thicker than those portable laptops. Probably
because of its high-end processor, its chassis looked a little bulky. For some reason, he felt this
machine, which was the most powerful computer in the world, looked somewhat familiar. It looked as if
his father had shown him the picture before.
Shaking the thought from his mind, he started to run a series of testing programs on the
machine.
A flight attendant looked at Zeke’s somewhat baby face with a look of disdain. ‘Mr. Johnston is the only
person who can handle this machine.
‘It’s remotely connected to a local machine in the headquarters of JJ Johnston Group in Mecrounia. He
often handles transactions directly using it.
‘Now, this half-grown brat is blatantly fiddling it. What’s even more ridiculous is that this brat is just an
underling of the girl whom Mr. Johnston has brought with him,’ the flight attendant thought as she rolled
her eyes impatiently. She then went out to rant to her colleagues about Nicole After all, this was the first
time Jared had brought a girl onto his private plane
Zeke did not know he had been despised, along with Nicole. He was looking at the computer in front of
him with his brows gently knitted together. He was not sure if it was his delusion; it seemed that this
computer was slower than he thought.
Zeke had complained about how slow his computer was, and it could not keep with the movements of
his fingers, So Nicole had asked for his address and sent him a new one a year ago. And that was the
only time they had a bit of interaction other than this time. The address he gave was the convenience

When the parcel from Nicole arrived that day, it was a black bag with his address and code
name hanging on it without the sender’s name and address. Zeke complained of it upon receiving the
parcel. But after taking the packaging apart, he was speechless. The computer’s beautiful silver
streamline chassis had conquered his heart, and its speed was so fast that his fingers could barely
keep up. That made him fall in love with the machine. But that computer that Nicole gave him a year
ago was obviously still much faster than the JW3000, which claimed to be the fastest in the world.
Zeke looked thoughtfully at the running scores shown on the screen.
Nicole looked on as Zeke went. She looked back at Jared helplessly. Jared was looking at her with a
straight face. As Nicole came over, he let out a gentle, charming smile with two shallow dimples on his
cheeks.
If Browning and Dino were here, their eyes would have widened in shock. Never Jared had ever smiled
at anyone like that.
