Chapter 285: Chapter 285

"Lola, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"I still have some work unfinished, so I can’t take you out to eat. Shall we order takeout?"

"Okay." Thıs content belongs to novel★fire.net

This kid is really easy to take care of. Anna thought to herself, but little did she know, even though Lola seemed well-behaved sitting next to her quietly.

In fact, the little one was busy remotely hacking into Conrad Sterling’s computer.

Conrad Sterling’s work email was publicly available, but the Sterling Group had a top-notch computer defense system.

It couldn’t really be hacked remotely, but he suddenly found himself with some free time, so he deliberately let this fish slip through the net to see what they intended to do.

Unexpectedly, the defense system of someone as distinguished as the president of the Sterling Group was so weak.

Lola couldn’t help but think proudly that Conrad Sterling must not be that impressive.

When Anna cast a glance over, Lola immediately pursed her lips and kept her composure.

Strangely enough, after hacking in successfully, he didn’t touch any confidential company information on Conrad Sterling’s computer.

Instead, he directly hacked the screen of Conrad’s computer, exposing himself.

It seemed this ’hacker’ wasn’t very old either, as President Sterling could see the impatience of youth even through the internet.

A line of fluorescent green text jumped out on the computer screen: "There isn’t a single one who can fight."

And then a disdainful meme appeared: "Meh~"

Conrad Sterling squinted slightly, and then another line of text appeared on the computer: "Is this all you’ve got?"

Given the repeated provocations, Conrad couldn’t help but type a reply: "Are you interested in the Thornton Family’s company?"

"It’s this young master’s pick! Not just the Thornton Family’s company, but also their woman, don’t try to take them from me!"

The Thornton Family’s woman?

Is it referring to Anna?

Conrad found this kid quite interesting and bold: "The same words back to you."

"Hmph! I know it was you who called her away from my side in the middle of the night last time! Warning you, if you keep pestering her, don’t blame me for being rude!"

Last time in the middle of the night?

The other side was probably referring to when Anna was attacked.

At that time, the mysterious person who suddenly appeared to save Anna but never got off the van, Conrad had long suspected it was this little master.

Painstakingly hacking into Conrad’s computer, it turns out it wasn’t about the Sterling Group.

Conrad had tried investigating Anna’s connections in Veridia, including which friends she was close to four years ago in Veridia and might still be in contact with now.

He even secretly checked the seniors Anna liked in high school, but found no one matching this ’young master.’

But today, he walked right into Conrad’s hands, giving him a chance to see the true face of this mysterious person.

"Why aren’t you speaking? Are you scared by me? It’s good you know fear, stay away from my woman in the future! Old man! Or I’ll swallow your company! Make you bankrupt!"

This address reminded Conrad of someone young like Florian Hollis, but Florian wouldn’t dare speak to him with such bravado.

Plus, this way of scaring someone seemed too childish to Conrad, like a kid.

"How long have you known her?" Conrad was not someone easily swayed.

Even when cursed to bankruptcy and company collapse, he remained focused on the key point.

The only reason he kept talking was that Conrad wanted to know what exactly Anna’s relationship with him was, to what extent.

"Not telling you, anyway longer than you!"

"Every time we meet, she holds my hand."

"I prefer sleeping holding her."

"She kisses me, she just did."

Who knows how the conversation turned into two men showing off jealously.

And from the exchange of words, it seemed President Sterling was on the losing end.

If the other party wasn’t lying, it was obvious Anna was quite fond of him, taking the initiative to be intimate with him.

When facing Conrad, Anna always seemed unwilling.

Nine times out of ten, handholding or hugging would be rejected, let alone kissing.

Apart from scheming or playing dumb, Anna had never willingly kissed Conrad.

She said she was aloof, yet secretly kissed another man behind President Sterling’s back?

"How do I know you aren’t bragging?"

"Don’t believe me, try it! Tonight she’s sleeping with me; no matter how you call, she won’t leave!"

After the back-and-forth exchange of harsh words, Lola exited the program controlling the other party’s computer.

The takeout had arrived, and Anna was preparing Lola’s meal, picking the ginger out of the dishes for the little one.

"Alright, come over and eat." Anna handed the bowl to Lola.

Worried he couldn’t hold it, she simply put it on a low table, using a stack of documents as a seat for Lola to sit just right.

"Why aren’t you eating? Want me to feed you?"

Lola shook his head, looking at Anna with puppy eyes, as if he wanted to say something but couldn’t.

"Lola, are you thinking that after dinner, I’ll take you home, so you’re feeling down?"

Anna was really understanding the little one more and more; she could tell what Lola was thinking from his expressions.

"But you can’t always not go home."

"I want to sleep with you!"

"Okay, but you have to talk to your guardians first and get their permission."

Seeing Anna agree, Lola’s sullen little face finally eased a bit, and he obediently held his bowl eating.

As for the foster parents, was that even a problem?

Lola just hired someone to pose as an agent from a company, inviting Freya Vaughn to Aethelgard or a nearby city to discuss cooperation, keeping them occupied until tomorrow.

Since William and Holly Sutton went to jail, Freya had been counting on Lola to earn money.

Thinking money was coming their way, she’d definitely go!

In the evening, Lola took Anna back to his little hideout.

After bathing and changing into pajamas, the little one eagerly crawled into bed, waiting for Anna to tell him a bedtime story.

However, at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Lola’s secret base had only ever been visited by Anna, logically, no one else should know about it.

But standing outside the house was none other than Conrad Sterling!

The last sentence of the talk with President Sterling that afternoon actually omitted a few words, it wasn’t "I’ll wait," it was "You better wait for me."

Lola thought he was smart enough to easily hack into Conrad Sterling’s computer defenses.

But, in fact, during their idle chat, Conrad was executing a counter-intrusion and had installed a tracking system in Lola’s mini foldable computer.

After failing to reach Anna by phone, Conrad came in from another angle, personally catching them in the act!
