Chapter 1121 Provocation (3)
The noises spread throughout the entire conference room without anyone realizing it. The person on the other end of the screen seemed to be aware of what was happening in the room and suddenly turned off the projection screen, which reverted back to a slide template.
Elliot sat in his seat with a furrowed brow, lost in thought for quite some time. Suddenly, he stood up and slammed his hand down on the table, startling all of the rowdy shareholders below him into silence.
“The meeting is adjourned for today. Bring your department’s plans and proposals to me. If they’re not up to par, take them back and revise them. Also, we’ll establish detailed regulations for shareholder dividends later.”
Elliot surveyed everyone with a dark expression as they involuntarily fell silent before finally dispersing.
Before adjourning, Elliot didn’t even mention that this matter couldn’t be publicized – let alone when so many people were present at this meeting; what happened today couldn’t be kept hidden no matter how much he wanted it to be concealed – but Elliot had no intention of keeping it under wraps anyway.
Afterward, he followed his assistant into both monitoring rooms and computer programming departments within their company.
His assistant had just received Elliot’s signal moments ago and went out searching for whoever hacked their system; however upon arriving at their technical department they found nothing incriminating left behind by whoever did this – who was very cunning indeed – especially since their hacking skills far surpassed those of any member within their own technical team!
Half-lit by overhead lighting while giving off an icy cold glare from one side of his face made Elliot seem ruthless as well as menacing enough that even his assistant shuddered beside him; internally cursing out whoever dared hack into company systems like that!
Why was everything so chaotic today? First there was an explosion involving cake earlier this morning, then now something like this?
He glanced over at Mr. Harper quietly before returning to deep thought once more. “Do you think it’s possible that whoever caused both incidents could actually be one person?” He asked aloud while sitting inside his office alongside his assistant.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
His assistant froze momentarily because he hadn’t considered such a possibility until now but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that there might actually be some truth behind what Elliot said!
But who could possibly have done such things?
“Tell our technical department to keep close tabs on our surveillance footage 24/7,” instructed Elliot after taking another momentary pause before continuing, “Especially monitor recordings from our rear entrance cameras along with my floor…”
Elliot gave further instructions regarding these matters which were relayed by his assistant before putting aside these thoughts temporarily so he could focus on other business affairs instead.
Although he had given the order, this matter kept him angry all day. In his free time, he couldn’t control his rage and even threw the files a few times. The staff who came to report their work happened to walk in and got scolded badly.
The entire company was immersed in Elliot’s anger all day long, and as they approached the center of power, the storm became more intense.
On the other hand, the person who made Elliot so furious happily shut down his computer under Valentin’s amazed gaze.
With a simple action from Sean, all of the codes on several pages disappeared from the computer screen. He had an account that Khalil gave him which allowed him to attack any large company’s IP at will.
In the afternoon, when Elliot was being driven back home by his assistant after a long day of frustration, nobody dared say anything. Today’s events left Elliot unhappy and none of his subordinates dared to be happy either.
As the assistant drove through a traffic light onto another wide driveway leading towards Elliot’s villa and was about to accelerate again when suddenly the car broke down.
Elliot went down with his assistant for a quick look but then suddenly exploded with anger that had been building up inside him all day long. He kicked one of tires hard which someone had tampered with earlier while cursing under his breath, “Damn it!”
It was not just an unlucky day; someone deliberately targeted him without revealing himself or leaving any clues behind despite Elliot feeling like everything that happened today was done by one person targeting only him!
“Go find out! Whoever is doing this repeatedly must be found! It is damn frustrating!” He spoke furiously while kicking another tire hard once again!
The assistant didn’t dare breathe heavily and quickly agreed before arranging for another car to take Elliot back home while sending off the broken-down car for repairs at a garage nearby.
After everything was taken care of, the assistant let out a deep sigh looking towards where Elliott disappeared before muttering, “What an exhausting day.”
Meanwhile, Sean laughed heartily after watching everything unfold right before him, feeling nothing but joyous satisfaction within himself thinking, ‘It feels so good! That’s the price he should pay for bullying my mommy and abandoning us?”
After dealing with her scumbag father, Valentin glanced at the screen and then back at the little boy. He didn’t say anything, but his eyes sparkled with excitement and a hint of anticipation.
Valentin couldn’t help but worry after feeling excited. “Sean, you’ve made Elliot so angry today. Isn’t that enough? What if he finds out? It’s not good to make such a big fuss.”
Sean’s smile faded as he looked at Elliot on the screen. He snorted coldly and said without any hesitation, “I still have one more gift for him! Don’t worry; I won’t let him find out!”
Sean was both determined and stubborn, so Valentin decided not to persuade him anymore and thought he needed to protect Sean even more carefully.
Elliot returned to the villa and paused outside Rose’s room before silently standing there for a while before returning to his own room.
Rose was unaware of all this.
Elliot had locked her up in the villa where she couldn’t go anywhere or do anything except get bored out of her mind. She hardly saw him these days either way; however, she knew that even if she did see Elliot, he wouldn’t let her leave anyway.
Elliot had made up his mind to keep her here!
Fortunately, Leah was by her side.
She contacted several lawyers in the country who all refused her without exception. It really proved what Elliot said – “No one dares take your case.”
Rose couldn’t find any lawyers in the country so she wanted Lawrence abroad to help find a lawyer for herself – surely he could find one easily – but then again she feared contacting Lawrence would only lead Elliott finding out again… and they might fight again… which would make things worse for everyone involved.
Thinking back on what happened at the airport that day made Rose shudder slightly as she temporarily abandoned thoughts of asking Lawrence for help finding a lawyer.
She gradually calmed down instead, wanting to see how long Elliot wanted to keep her locked up.
