Chapter 221 Mr L
Sion heard an obscure sound of the door opening from outside when he just went to sleep, so he got up to see what happened. It was nearly midnight, and he was afraid that the little girl would sneak up and wander off, so he turned on the light and got dressed and came out to check.
The door of Morgan’s room closed properly. Sion unscrewed the door handle and pushed it open, and he saw the bulging quilt on the bed at a glance. The little girl’s face was visible in the moonlight.
Sion was inexplicably relieved, but then he wondered where the sound had come from. He closed the door softly and turned towards the living room. There was nothing different about the door outside as if the sound he had just heard was an illusion. At that moment, there was the sound of an engine starting downstairs. Sion walked towards the window and he was shocked at the sight of a car.
It was Aurora’s car.
He had previously checked all of Queen’s properties in the country as well to investigate her. Later, he found out that Queen was Aurora, and he carefully read that information again, remembering clearly the license plate number of the cars. Sion’s eyes light up in the reflection of the cool moonlight.
Was it because she still loved him?
He knew how impossible she would still love him, but he could not help but let the seeds of hope germinate in his heart, and even be happy because of this unjustified thought.
However, somehow, he thought he had a reason to think so, or Aurora would have not appeared downstairs of the house they used to live in together at this hour. And he thought it might be Aurora who had opened the door.
Sion seemed to be quite determined to believe his guess, thus he couldn’t help smiling. As long as Aurora still loved him, he did not care about anything.
That put him in a good mood all night, which lasted until the next morning when David hurriedly pushed the door and reported, “Mr Carroll, something’s happened.”
Sion raised his eyes in disbelief, relaxed, even with a slight smile, “What is it?”
David could see that his boss was in a good mood today, which was unprecedented for several years, but Sion would not be able to allow himself so later.
“Carroll Group stock has suddenly fallen to the negative, and it’s already in the green.” They had never encountered this situation before, “Apparently, there are manipulators.”
Sion’s face changed, “Did you find out who it is?”
“Yes.”
David looked serious and turned on the tablet computer in his hand. He then showed Sion the information in his mailbox, “It should be this Mr L in control. He has a great reputation globally and is involved in a wide range. A senior hacker.”
The information also said that Mr L had also hacked the national intelligence system of Country M, and later the president even personally intervened and asked him to design an anti-tracking program.
“No photos?”
Sion’s face was gloomy as he finished flipping through the information. There was not a single useful piece of information other than those compliments.
“No.”
“There is no evidence to prove his identity.”
They didn’t even know whether Mr L was at home or abroad. Why on earth would he target the Carroll Group without warning?
Sion handed the computer back to David, and he suddenly thought of something-Aurora had driven by his building last night.
Could it be her?
When he thought of this, all his previous good feelings were swept away. If she were “Mr L”, he would be so disappointed.
Although Sion acted thunderously and forcefully in business, he did not make many enemies. Therefore, he could not think of a second person who would target the Carroll Group.
Besides, Aurora had lived in Halberk for s few years without being taken any photos. Somehow, Sion felt that there was a similarity between Aurora and this mysterious Mr L.
With her current status, it shouldn’t be difficult for her to enlist the help of such an internationally renowned big shot.
“Mr Carroll?”
David saw that he didn’t speak for a long time and spoke out to remind him, “What should we do now?”
He was anxious and felt that he had to take countermeasures first to get over the current difficulties before saying anything else, otherwise the shareholders would have a lot of complaints if this continued.
Sion’s eyes moved slightly, “You go deal with it.”
In any case, the current situation should be stabilized first. If the stock price of their company went all the way down, the impact on the entire Carroll Group would be overwhelming, let alone the loss of money.
Sion lowered his eyes and already decided in his heart. Since Aurora’s target was the Carroll Group, things would be easier. Then he walked towards the door.
In the office of Crescent Group, Aurora was sitting in her office chair and making a phone call. Smiling brightly, she seemed to be relaxed from the bottom of her heart.
“I should say thank you for this time, and when you come to Lower Hopton, I’ll buy you dinner.”
The person she was talking to was none other than Mr L, who was rumoured to be mysterious in the outside world.
“Aurora, if you miss me, just say so.” The voice of Mr L was an elderly one, full of kindness and doting.
Aurora smiled, “I mean it. Thanks a lot for taking care of Theodore, and teaching him so many things, and you did me a big favour this time.”
“Of course, you should thank me properly.”
Mr L was Theodore’s master, who taught him to operate the computer and also helped Aurora teach her children when she was busy.
Although Mr L was nearly 60 years old, he possessed the world’s best electronic technology. If it was not for Theodore’s talent shown accidentally amazed him, Aurora would have been unable to befriend him, according to his untamed childish nonsense.
When he was young, he must have been a man of great talent.
“Well, that’s right. Then I’ll wait for your feast.”
Aurora smiled heartily, “Don’t worry, I’ll prepare the most sumptuous meal for you.”
Just as she finished this sentence, Anna knocked on the door and came in. Seeing Aurora on the phone, she stood aside and waited, but looked a little anxious.
“I got to go, I will thank you in person next time.”
Mr L smiled and hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone, she looked at Anna, “What’s wrong?”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“Mr Carroll is looking for you. The guards failed to stop him. And he’s already up here, I can’t stop him either.”
Anna had no idea about the relationship between Mr Carroll and her boss, but she somehow thought there must be something personal between them.
Aurora frowned, with her good mood instantly disappearing, “What is he doing here?”
