Chapter 398 Caught Red-Handed

Soon, Whitney quickly realized that her feeble excuse wasn’t going to fool Nicole, but since she couldn’t think of

anything else to say, she rubbed her nose and said, “Miss Nicole, perhaps it’s better for you to ask Hayden

himself…”

Noticing Whitney’s hesitance, Nicole was starting to think there was something serious both of them were hiding

from her. She then squinted and glared at Whitney, who felt goosebumps running all over her scalp. Since Nicole

used to be a leader in her company, her gaze was so commanding and intimidating that Whitney began to feel

panicky. She then spoke with a soft voice. “Miss Nicole…”

“Fine,” Nicole responded glacially as she continued to stare at Whitney.

“Miss Nicole, I think it’s better for you to ask Hayden yourself because I’m not really sure what he’s been doing

either.” Whitney’s words gave away the guilt in her heart. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t even have

thought of teaching Hayden how to hack. How gutsy of that guy to work for anyone from the underworld?! If

anyone finds out about him, he could pay the price with his life.

Meanwhile, Nicole could tell from Whitney’s stammer that her son had something he was hiding from her. “Tell me

what you know, and I’ll let you off, or we can do this the hard way until you talk. Think carefully before you choose.”

Nicole glared at Whitney.

While Whitney was helpless upon hearing Nicole’s response, the reason she was hesitant to reveal what Hayden

had been up to was not because of her reluctance but because she had no idea where to start. However, she soon

made up her mind and answered, “Miss Nicole, I taught Hayden how to hack earlier, but he’s proven himself to be

rather exceptional and talented in that line of work. A few months later, I ran out of things to teach him, and he

now does everything by himself, much to my surprise.”

It was only when Nicole heard Whitney’s words that she realized how talented Hayden was in hacking. Although she

had always known how exceptionally smart her son was, she didn’t know Hayden had a hidden talent for hacking.

As soon as she heard Whitney’s words, she turned around and walked away.

In the meantime, Whitney was left behind, watching Nicole leave just as she was about to say something.

Nevertheless, she swallowed the words that were forming at the tip of her tongue when she noticed how hasty her

footsteps were. Fine, I guess I’d better stay out of their hair. After all, that’s a business between Miss Nicole and her

son.

Not long after that, Nicole arrived at Hayden’s room and opened the door, whereupon she was greeted by the sight

of the boy with his eyes glued to the computer screen. Besides that, Hayden appeared to be typing really fast on his

keyboard, seemingly handling something pretty urgent. At the same time, Hayden was shocked when he heard the

door open. At the sight of his mother, he frantically tried to switch off the computer, only to have his hand caught

by Nicole, who squinted and looked at him bewilderedly. Seconds later, Hayden smiled and gazed at his own

mother. “Mommy, why didn’t you knock before you came in?”

Staring at Hayden’s fake smile, Nicole was speechless as she shifted her gaze to the computer, only to see nothing

but the wallpaper. With a glacial expression on her face, Nicole ordered her son with a soft voice to show her what

had been keeping him so occupied until she came in. “Show me what you were doing.”
