Soon, employees started showing up for work. They saw their CEO glaring at the clock-in machine with a strange expression. No one dared to approach, and within a few minutes, a crowd had gathered at the entrance.With hands on his hips, Thaddeus grumbled, "Who's responsible for this system?"Jordan felt bad for the HR department. He replied, "Mr. Holt, the clock-in system has always been managed by the Administration department. There seems to be a bug in the system. I'll have someone check it."After hearing that, Thaddeus was finally willing to move away. As soon as he stepped away from the system, the sound of the clock-in machine rang out behind him."Beep. Clock-in successful.""Beep. Clock-in successful."Jordan remained silent while walking. Everyone's clock-ins were successful except for Thaddeus, who received that insulting message tone.Jordan pressed the button for the HR department's floor and exited the elevator when he reached. He needed to personally investigate

Thaddeus was concerned about things in Hajera and wanted to finish up his accumulated work quickly before flying back to find Jessamine. Although he was afraid that this matter might delay his return journey again, he was determined to thoroughly investigate Fyrewall.In the afternoon, the people Corvus had called for arrived at Holt Jewelry.Jordan ushered them into the conference room on the top floor."Esteemed experts, this time we need you to uncover the true identity of this hacker, Fyrewall. The price is up to you; our CEO will not be stingy," Jordan said.The leader of the group was a tech expert employed by Corvus' company. Since Corvus ordered him to go assist them, he didn't dare to ask for compensation."Mr. Rhodes, you're joking too much. We will do our best," the leader said.Computers were set up on the table, and the hackers began their investigation, preparing for a confrontation when Fyrewall came online.They refused to believe that they would lose to just one

After introducing Oscar, Xander asked him, "Oscar, I remember you went on a blind date not long ago. It didn't work out, did it?"Oscar chuckled. "It was arranged by my mother last time was arranged. I just went through the motions. One should be satisfied by their own major life events. How can they be taken lightly?"He glanced casually in Jessamine's direction, feeling inexplicably happy as if something good was about to happen.Xander raised an eyebrow. "It's good that it didn't work out. If you weren't single, I wouldn't feel at ease handing this matter to you. Jessie has internal management issues at her company in Zenville, and I need someone I trust to handle it. I wouldn't trust anyone else. Are you willing to go?"Oscar remained awkward for a few seconds before clearing his throat. He thought Xander was going to pick him as family, but apparently not."Mr. Patton, do you want me to stay there long-term?" Oscar asked.Xander coughed. "Things in Hajera also rely on you. Y

"Let's go," Jessamine said.After that, Xander's assistant took the car keys and escorted the two straight to the airport.…Thaddeus, along with several IT staff, finally caught sight of Fyrewall coming online just before the end of the workday."Fyrewall is here, Fyrewall is here!"A shout brought everyone's spirits up. They had been waiting all afternoon, strategizing, and finally caught Fyrewall online just before work ended. They were determined to uncover Fyrewall's true identity today.Thaddeus put down his work and waited for the IT staff to catch Fyrewall."Fyrewall is too cunning. He's designed all the information to be confidential, making it almost impossible to find his real name.""Don't be discouraged. Every person is bound to leave loopholes. I refuse to believe he has no oversight.""Yes, let's attack from all angles. Each of us will be responsible for a different direction."The conversation among the IT staff filled everyone with confidence. They were all r

The office fell silent as everyone held their breath, waiting for a result."Mr. Holt, we've got it. The address is in Parilis District."Thaddeus heard the name "Parilis District" again, the same as what Corvus gave him last time. Parilis District was vast, making it difficult to find someone."Do you have more details?" Thaddeus asked."Yes, I'll send them to your phone right away," the staff member said.Thaddeus picked up his phone, and when he saw the detailed address, his brows furrowed deeply."Parilis District, Sweeney Street, Jadeston Villa."He clearly remembered that Jadeston Villa was where he sent Layla last time, which was Xander's house.So this was his doing?Thaddeus recalled that he and Xander had little interaction, whether in business or privately. The only contact they had was four years ago when Xander approached him on the cruise ship and said some inexplicable things. Suddenly, he felt enlightened, thinking about Xander's recent attempts to buy proper

Shane noticed Oscar, who was walking with Jessamine, and quickly caught up to them. He walked a few steps faster, lowering his voice as he asked, "Who's this gentleman behind you? He doesn't seem too bad"He thought Oscar might be Jessamine's new boyfriend. If they were in a relationship, he would have to test him for the sake of his good friend.Jessamine chuckled lightly. "Shane, let me introduce you. This is Oscar, the COO of Xander's company. He's here to help me with the issues at Quilton Corporation. After all, I don't have much experience in this area. Can we drop Oscar off at Xander's house first?"Upon hearing that Oscar was here to help, Shane smiled warmly. "Of course, how can we leave Mr. Oscar behind after he came all this way to help? Let's drop him off first."Shane treated Jessamine like his own people and didn't think too much about what he said. However, when he finished speaking, he noticed Oscar casting a somewhat hostile glance at him. That look made Shane unde

On the other side, Thaddeus repeatedly played the voice message sent by Jessamine. No matter how he interpreted it, there was a male voice talking to his wife, calling her "Missy" and mentioning Zenville. Thaddeus felt slightly uneasy in his heart. Another man besides Jerome appeared next to her. They seemed to be walking together. Combined with Jessamine's words and implications, Theaddeus thought of something. Could it be that Jessamine had returned to Zenville?As he thought about this, he immediately called Jordan in. "Do you have Jessie's assistant's number?"Jordan thought Thaddeus was planning to return to Hajera, and so Jordan was also eager to go back. After all, he didn't feel at ease leaving his wife alone in the hotel over there."Yes, Mr. Holt, I do! If you're worried about Mrs. Holt, let's fly back tomorrow. Mrs. Holt has refined features and I'm sure she hasmany admirers. You can't take that lightly!"These words struck a chord with Thaddeus. Those despicable men w

"You open the door. I'll watch you go in," Thaddeus said.The last kidnapping incident was still fresh in his memory. He had to make sure Jessamine got home safely and locked the door before he could relax.Jessamine didn't respond any further and simply opened her bag to find the keys. But the more anxious she became, the harder it was for her to find them. In the end, she squatted down, emptied her bag, and turned everything upside down.She felt like slapping herself. She remembered putting the keys in her bag before leaving, but they were nowhere to be found. She most likely hadn't put them in.Thaddeus stood by quietly, watching her struggle to find the keys. He noticed her embarrassment at not having the keys."Jessie, do you want to go back to Jardin Estate?" he asked.Jessamine, squatting on the ground, hesitated for a moment. Then she picked up her belongings one by one and put them back in her bag."No need," she replied.Hearing the two words "Jardin Estate" gave her

The next day, Jessamine and Oscar arranged to meet at a well-known restaurant in Zenville.Jessamine knew that dealing with the Quilton Corporation's business in Zenville was a tough task, and Oscar was willing to come only because of his close relationship with Xander. She had to extend her hospitality and express her gratitude.She left an hour early to avoid traffic, and the ride-hailing car was already parked outside the villa.Sanitation workers were cleaning up the streets, and cigarette butts were scattered under the sycamore trees.Jessamine absentmindedly got into the car after a few seconds.Thinking she was early enough, Jessamine was surprised that Oscar had arrived before her."Mr. James, I'm sorry for being late," she said.Oscar was dressed in formal attire today, with his hair neatly styled with wax. This attire gave him the demeanor of a social elite, making him appear much more reliable than yesterday.Of course, Jessamine never doubted his capabilities. Anyon

"Quilton Corporation's industries specialize in automotive parts manufacturing. I've already contacted one of their partners, Mr. Lloyd from Bejeweled Group. We're meeting tomorrow at the Lime Golf Course in Westro. If you're interested, you can join us," Oscar said.Jessamine was stunned. She hadn't expected Oscar to infiltrate the enemy's ranks and arrange meetings with Colin's company partners.Well, in that case, she could relax and enjoy the meal now.Oscar was a social guy, and there was hardly a dull moment during the meal thanks to him. He effortlessly livened up the atmosphere with light and entertaining topics.Although Jessamine was naturally humorous, she found herself laughing numerous times thanks to his wit.Halfway through the meal, the restaurant manager knocked on the door with an apologetic expression."M.s Patton, I'm really sorry, but a lady would like to switch to your private room. Would you mind?" he asked.Feeling a bit guilty, the manager added, "We can
