In fact, the moment Jeremy entered the restroom, he sent a message to Madison, asking her to wait for him at the hotel, and he would arrive shortly.
Madison knew her son was unique. He always delivered on his promises.
Ross joked, “Aren’t you afraid someone will kidnap your child?”
Madison replied calmly, “As long as he doesn’t cause trouble, I’m grateful. Who would dare provoke him!”
Ross couldn’t help but sigh. “I have to admit that Neville’s genes are really good. Look how clever Jeremy is.”
Madison couldn’t deny this. From a young age, Jeremy demonstrated intelligence beyond his peers, and he had exceptional talent in hacking. He was currently the youngest hacking champion in the dark web
But Jeremy was only her son. She would keep him hidden where Neville could never find him.
Neville detested her, and the Preston family considered her useless. If they found out about Jeremy, they might take him back, but there would be no love for him.
Her precious boy only needed her love.
Neville initially thought that it was just a child’s prank, and that there was no need to have a serious conflict with a little troublemaker.
However, moments later, a photo of him covered in sauce was posted online, quickly becoming a hot topic on the internet. Many people made comments.
“Oh, my boy, the handsome Mr. Preston can’t hold it in sometimes. I can even smell it through the screen.”
“This picture immediately shattered all my illusions about Neville. I feel like throwing up.”
“So, he will lose composure sometimes and even get dirty on himself. Well, I don’t love him anymore.”
Neville usually trended online due to his remarkable business acumen. This time, however, it was for a humiliating and undignified incident, which infuriated him.
His image took a significant hit in the eyes of netizens, and even Aidan scolded him over the phone.
“Neville, have I not told you that you represent the prestige of the Preston family? Always be mindful of your words and actions!” Aidan scolded.
“Grandpa, this is a misunderstanding, Neville explained.
“I hope you clear up this misunderstanding soon. This incident has tarnished the reputation of the Preston family and even impacted the stock performance of our company,” Aidan said.
Neville needed to find that child to clarify the situation.
However, he searched the entire hotel and couldn’t find any trace of the boy. What was more, the hotel’s and surrounding surveillance systems were infected by a virus, making it impossible to review footage.
He only found a glimpse of the child in a group photo taken by diners. The child was wearing a cartoon mask, revealing only his eyes.
Ryan chuckled. “How intriguing. This little one has compelled you to go to such great lengths.”
Neville coldly remarked. “Do you think a child can come up with such a cunning trick?”
He couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was manipulating things behind the scenes, pushing this little troublemaker into
action
Ryan leaned in and said, “How come I feel like his eyes are like yours? Check if you have any illegitimate child.”
Neville responded icily. “If he’s my son. I’d strangle him!”
The thought of the humiliation caused by the little troublemaker angered Neville.
Neville opened his notebook and found traces of the virus. Once he entered the tracking code, he could pinpoint the location.
Sure enough, when he breached the opponent’s defenses, Neville found the other party still online.
Neville swiftly typed on the keyboard, attempting to trap him in a virtual snare for better location tracking.
Jeremy, frightened, immediately cut off the power. He pressed his hand against his rapidly beating heart.
Surprisingly, Jeremy encountered a skilled opponent and almost fell into his trap.
Fortunately, Jeremy had prepared in advance, leaving the virus code elsewhere. Even if Neville locked onto his location, he couldn’t find Jeremy.
Madison, upon seeing the trending topic, knew who was behind it.
However, it seemed that Neville had not recognized Jeremy, and she felt relieved.
Madison said, “Jeremy, stay away from Neville in the future.”
Jeremy extended his arms and hugged her, saying, “Mommy, I helped you vent your anger. Aren’t you happy?”
Madison enjoyed seeing the criticism directed at Neville online, but her primary concern was preventing Jeremy from being exposed.
“I will handle my own affairs. What you need to do is stay with Ariel on Warcana Island, Madison said.
If possible, she wanted to keep Neville in the dark about Jeremy forever.
Jeremy felt a bit down at the thought of parting with Madison tomorrow. He said sadly, “Mommy, I understand.”
Madison kissed her son’s cheek. “Once I finish my tasks, we can live together.”
Jeremy just held her tight. “Mommy, from now on, I will protect you and take care of you. I won’t let you be hurt.” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Madison’s eyes moistened as she embraced her son in the quiet night.
From the moment Jeremy was born, he was taken to Warcana Island. To avoid detection by the Preston family, she could only visit him every few months.
Even though Madison couldn’t remain by Jeremy’s side as he grew up, it didn’t hinder his love for her.
The love between parents and children was often considered selfless, and in the same vein, a child’s love for their parents was instinctual.
Madison kissed Jeremy’s soft hair. “I will protect you well from now on.”
Jeremy pretended to be asleep. Once Madison was asleep, he got out of bed and turned on the computer.
Neville’s visage had always lingered in Jeremy’s mind. The resemblance between Neville and Jeremy was striking, almost too
uncanny to dismiss as a mere coincidence.
Over the years, as soon as Jeremy learned about the term “Dad” it was a taboo in Madison’s heart, so he never asked about
his father.
He knew nothing about Madison’s time in Norton.
Drawing upon his exceptional memory, Jeremy sketched a picture of Neville’s face. With determination in his eyes, he decided to input the image into the depths of the dark web. In an instant, a flood of information pertaining to Neville surfaced before him
Jeremy’s instinctive feeling grew stronger, affirming his belief that Neville was indeed his father.
But Jeremy knew Neville didn’t love Madison. Every time Madison hugged him to sleep, the pillow was always wet with
lears.
Angered, Jeremy raised his middle finger to the picture. Jerk, I won’t let you off easily.”
Jeremy’s little hands typed on the keyboard. Hearing the sound signifying a payment had landed in his account, Jeremy was satisfied and lay back down next to Madison. Someone’s destined to have a sleepless night,’ he thought.
Neville was extremely furious. Even if he clarified the sauce incident, people still doubted him, and these photos were about to become a stain on his life..
To make matters worse, he received a call from the Preston Group. “Mr. Preston, something happened. The funds we prepared for the Stage One project have disappeared!”
