They must be some daredevils!
Switching on his laptop, he tried to track the source.
Unfortunately, the skills of the hackers were too sophisticated for him to decode. The only clue he had was that the five hundred million had been transferred to an account. However, none of the account information could be traced.
It seems like they are experts.
Fuming, Evan closed his laptop with a smack.
There must be a reason why the hacker transferred such a big amount. They have to use it somewhere. I need to find an expert in this field and investigate thoroughly!
He fished out his phone immediately and gave a call to John.
“Mr. Seet, you should sleep first. I think I’ll only be able to give you some answers in the morning.”
Upon ending the call, he thought of Kyle and Juan.
These two rascals are not around. If they are, they can take care of this in minutes. They should be asleep at this hour.
The gentleness of a loving father could be seen in Evan’s eyes.
He stared blankly as he lit up a cigarette. Recalling how Nicole said that she would not use the two chances he offered, he became inexplicably irritable.
She gives up on the chances that others will beg for so easily. I’m not expecting her to be this stubborn! She has no idea what she’s doing! Although she has inherited the Lane Corporation, it’s a mess. She’ll need a huge amount of money to make the operation run smoothly.
He wanted to see how she would resolve the crisis of the capital chain.
The next day, Nicole left the house in a rush to discuss the collaboration after preparing breakfast for her children.
When Kyle and Juan woke up, they realized that she had gone out.
Maya and Nina shook their heads, sighing, “Mommy must have gone out to look for money.”
“Kyle, let’s give the money to Mommy when she reaches home. Tell her that we borrowed it from Uncle Davin and Uncle Rocky.”
“Okay.”
“The two of you have to cooperate with me.”
“Of course we will. Mommy won’t find out where the money came from.”
…
Nicole had visited a few companies. When they learned that she was from the Lane Corporation, they avoided her.
The reputation of the Lane Corporation had been tarnished. It was not an easy task to collaborate with a reliable and high-quality company.
As she visited the last company on her list, they chased her out without giving her an opportunity to talk.
“Sorry, we won’t collaborate with the Lane Corporation.”
“Lane Corporation did have a lot of problems, but now…”
“Ms. Lane, I have made myself clear. You may leave now.”
Nicole did not reply.
Feeling helpless, she had no choice but to get up and leave the company dejectedly.
She was hopeful when she left the house in the morning, but all hope was gone now.
What should I do? I have to think of another way to source funds!
It was nearly noon. Worried about her kids at home, she went back.
It was apparent to the four children that Nicole had failed to secure the funding by her despondent expression.
Kyle then gave the gold card to her.
“Mommy, take the money and use it for now.”
“Where did you get this from?”
Nicole looked at the gold card in confusion.
The children exchanged looks. Kyle, who was not good at lying, took a step back while Juan stepped forward.
“Mommy, I borrowed some of the money from Uncle Davin. And Nina borrowed some from Uncle Rocky. Take it.”
They borrowed it? These children went to borrow money?
Nicole felt her heart ache out of the blue.
I’m so incompetent that they have to do this for me.
“Mommy, just take it!”
A bitter smile appeared on her face. With how things were, she was only left with this option.
“You can pay them back when things are better.”
“Mommy, there’s no rush in paying them back. Don’t worry about it.”
“That’s right, Mommy. If it’s not enough, we can…”
Juan stuck his tongue out.
I almost said that we still can hack some more money from Daddy’s account. Thank God I stopped myself in time. “We can still borrow some more.”
“How much is in this card?”
