Even though he had reminded Shane to investigate Jessie, Shane's investigation outcome was insubstantial, and
only some basic information about Jessie was obtained. This round, he was planning to look into it in more detail.
Soon, half an hour passed.
There was a pucker between Connor's eyebrows. He was staring at an image comparison on the screen.
The image was very blurry, and he was trying to restore it with a program. The progress was sluggish as it required
a longer duration to reinstate a blurry image to a high-definition one.
Right then, only sixty percent of the image had been restored, and the remaining forty percent was still in progress.
It would take at least a few more minutes for the entire process to be completed.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Connor turned around and looked in the direction of the door. “Mommy?”
“Yes.” Natalie's voice came from outside the room.
“Let me answer it.”
Sharon jumped off the bed and ran forward hurriedly to open the door.
As the door opened, Natalie trod in, taking her daughter's hand in hers, and looked at her son who was sitting in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfront of the computer. “What are you doing?”
“I'm looking at Jessie's information,” Connor replied in a straightforward manner without concealing anything.
Natalie raised an eyebrow. “What are you looking at her information for?”
“I heard your conversation with Ms. Sally just now. Ms. Sally wouldn't tell me what Jessie and Ms. Linde did to you, so
I can only investigate on my own,” Connor shrugged his shoulder helplessly as he answered.
No matter what, I'll never simply let anyone who tries to harm Mommy off the hook.
“You are my sunshine” Feeling heartwarming, Natalie stroked the little boy's hair.
Of course, she understood what the little boy was doing—he was trying to help them.
Nevertheless, all along, she was of the opinion that adults' problems should be solved by and among themselves,
and not to involve the children in it.
Yet, seeing that Connor was so persistent in helping her, she was reluctant to turn him down.
“Well then, have you found anything?” Natalie looked at her son and asked.
Sharon also turned to Connor expectantly.
Connor shook his head in response. “I didn't find out what they did to you, Mommy, but I found something
interesting.”
“Oh?” Natalie's interest was piqued. “What's that?”
Connor shook his head again and kept her in suspense. “Why don't you tell me what they did to you first, Mommy?
And then I'll tell you what I found. How about that?”
Natalie was amused. “You're bargaining with me, huh? Alright, I'll tell you.”
Since he has already started his own investigation, that means he'll never stop until he finds out something.
In that case, I should just disclose it to him.
“Do you remember last time when I was locked in the washroom and Ms. Sally was knocked out?” Natalie asked.
Connor nodded. “Yes.”
“The real culprits behind it are these two people,” Natalie added.
Connor squinted. “What? It's actually them and not Amy and Tiffanie?”
When the organizers of the competition revealed the findings of their investigation, Connor was still back at home
with Shane.
Despite that, the organizer gave Shane a call and informed him that the offenders were Amy and Tiffanie. How
does it turn out to be Jessie and her mentor now?
“It's not Amy and her model. They were framed and became scapegoats for Jessie and her mentor,” explained
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalie.
Connor finally understood and nodded. “I see. They're really horrible, making Amy and Tiffanie their scapegoats.
They must have got something on Amy and threatened them with it. Otherwise, it's impossible for Amy and Tiffanie
to not resist when they were caught.”
“That's right. That's what I was thinking, too,” Natalie responded in the affirmative.
Connor let out a sigh. “Jessie and her mentor must have threatened Amy and Tiffanie in person privately. That's
why I couldn't find any trace on the internet.”
“That means that they're very prudent.” Natalie stroked his hair gently again.
Connor twitched his lips. “And I hate prudent enemies the most.”
Natalie was amused. “You hate them because, in that way, you're not able to unleash your skills, isn't it?
Connor stuck his tongue out in acknowledgment of what Natalie said.
Natalie shook her head with a smile. “Alright, don't be upset. It's not a bad thing, too. At least now you know that
even with good hacking skills, you can't get to the bottom of everything. There are a lot of problems in this world
that can't be solved with hacking alone. I hope you won't rely too much on hacking; otherwise, you would lose out
someday.”
