Reborn Wife

Chapter 18 

Olivia was taken aback when she heard what Oscar had said.

‘How could my brother simply hack Leonard's computer?’ she wondered.

Leonard's computer was known as Black South Scenic.

It was said that it contains loads of important information and privacies.

Suddenly, it got hacked by a mysterious hacker and all of the essential information on the computer was gone.

Because of that, Leonard was so angry that he thumped the table in frustration.

But after knowing that the only person who hacked Leonard's computer was none other than her brother, Oscar, Olivia was so amazed to the point that she couldn't even say a thing whilst clapping her hands in amusement.

"How,’’ She couldn't think of anything to say but after processing things in her head, Olivia continued to speak and asked her younger brother, "Who taught you that?"

Oscar blinked innocently.

"Is it difficult?" he asked.

It was hard for her to ask her brother since he was such an intelligent person.

But to think that his brother knew such a thing, he might come in handy.

And to break the awkward silence, Olivia immediately hugged his younger brother with a smile written on her face.

She was proud of him.

"Alright! I'll leave you the task of helping your sister to do bad things together in the future.What do you think? Partners in crime?" said Olivia.

According to the old saying, the elder sister must educate her younger brother.

So if he had this kind of ability, he shouldn't abuse it.

Otherwise, the younger brother might get in trouble.

But it was different.

Oscar didn't feel that there was something wrong with her eldest sister.

Instead, he nodded and confidently agreed with her, "I think it’...it's great! We're now partners in crime!"

Then they both laughed darkly.

For Olivia, it wasn't that easy.

So she tried to come up with a plan whilst rubbing her chin.

They have to be careful.

‘But how?’ she asked herself.

As her stare went down to Oscar's eyes, an evil smile automatically curved into her delicate lips.

As if they already understood each other's plan.

Olivia moved closer and whispered to his younger brother.

"It is said that Leonard has exerted a lot of effort to protect some relevant information in his system.You have to be prepared for next week's competition, Got it?"

"Got it!" Oscar happily answered.

"And, what's next?"

"Hack his computer!"

"Okay!"

After they finished whispering and laughing to each other, Master Langston finally arrived from the company.

The whole family sat together and prepared for dinner.

Olivia sat lazily at the dining table with her gaze swept towards the three people from the opposite family, the Peterson's.

All she knew is that she couldn't wait any longer for the surprise she made for them.

That would be the first surprising gift she had given to the Peterson's.

Like usual, Madam Sophie and Maggie politely sat down with a smile on their faces.

Except for Donald who sat like a needle carpet with his eyes wandering around the place.

As if he had been hollowed out.

Olivia pretended to smile and asked with a rare concern, "Uncle Donald, how are you feeling?"

Her uncle laughed stiffly.

"Nothing much.I might have caught a cold"

After hearing his response, Oliva remained quiet and didn't say a word.

‘This is going to be exciting’ She said to herself.

As Master Langston took off his jacket and sat down at the dining table, Oliva greeted her father with a smile.

Her father seemed to look very happy.

He smiled at his daughter back before praising her uncle Donald afterward.

"Donald, I know it's been tough for you to make millions of profit.Your hard work has paid off and I’m glad that you didn't disappoint me.That's why tomorrow, I would like to give you two days off.You must take a break."

Before Donald could even say a word, Madam Sophie and her daughter's eyes lit up.

They happily asked Master Langston, "So, the contract you ordered has been confirmed?"

"That's right.The shipment has been delivered today and the project is expected to start next week."

Mr.Langston proudly answered with a smile on his lips.

Master Langston was indeed in a good mood.

It was very rare for him to say a few more words.

But in the end, Donald, who was praised, remained quiet.

Everyone looked at him doubtfully which made Master Langston confused.

"Donald” Master Langston called.

Donald didn't bother to look at him nervously.

"Is there something wrong?" he worriedly asked.

"Uh, Donald bit down a smile and immediately wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"Brother, you don't have to worry about me.Of course, I am happy about the good news! It's just that...two days ago, I drank too much and now it’s hurting my stomach." Donald explained.

Master Langston seemed to believe everything he said.

"I see.Have you seen a doctor?" he asked and Donald shook his head.

"Then you must go to take a look. If you're uncomfortable, please, don't force yourself." Donald nodded but his hands were trembling.

"Alright, I will..."

After some time, Madam Sophie immediately pulled Donald aside under the pretext of filling the soup.

She couldn't help but to ask her husband excitedly, "You damn bastard, you didn't even tell me what happened.What about the money? Hurry up and deposit the money in our account!"

"M-Money?" Donald stuttered.

This might be a piece of good news, but mentioning this to Donald, almost made him vomit blood in front of her eyes.

He knew that there was no money left.

That day, he hadn't returned on the excuse of business matters, but in fact, the money was taken away by other.

Sixty million dollars was a huge sum, but because his origin was undetectable, he didn't dare to reveal it even though he knew that the money would be stolen.

These past few days, he was extremely anxious.

He didn't know what to do even if he wanted to take his life, it would not solve the problem.

Hearing Madam Sophie's question, Donald became irritated.

He coldly replied, "You bitch, shut up!"

Madam Sophie never imagined that the men who usually coaxed her would suddenly turn hostile.

But on this kind of occasion, she didn’t want to make a scene.

Even Madam Sophie hated his act, she tried her best to endure it for the time being.

After dinner, the families began preparing to leave the restaurant.

Only Master Langston received a phone call.

Since he was in a good mood, he did not hesitate to take out his phone to answer the call.

But upon hearing the bad news through the call, his expression instantly changed.

"What? Is that true?"

The tone of his voice had changed ever so lightly which made the people around look at him.

What shocked Master Langston was a big deal to everyone.

Even Madam Enya was also shocked around her husband's reaction.

So she asked him with a soft voice to know what might be the news was, "What's wrong, honey?"

Master Langston did not reply, but his sharp gaze landed on Donald's face.

"The person in charge called me and said that the shipment you ordered has been unqualified.Would you like to explain it to me?" Master Langston asked.

Donald faked a smile and immediately reasoned out, "W-What do you mean? That's absurd, brother! I clearly ordered it according to the procedure! They might be mistaken!"

"Stop making me a fool!"

Master Langston said with a frustrated groan.

He was so furious when he thought about the possible outcome and consequences of their project.

‘For a public bidding project, there should be no mistakes in any of the procedures.

Especially the steel! If this hadn't been carried out, how much damage would that batch of unqualified steel might cause to the Enterprise once it was put into use? Who else would dare to cooperate with us in the future?’ Madam Sophie and Maggie were also stunned when things suddenly turned out like this.

They both exchanged glances, trying to find the answers in each other's eyes. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

This was the plan they had prepared for a long time ago.

After swallowing this huge sum of money in the name of order, they would not care if this move would cause serious damage to the Clements clan.

Because as long as they got the money, they would succeed! Now, it seemed that everything was not working according to their plan.
