My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 135

Mr. Rogers Sr. looked at his seemingly well-behaved son and said coldly, “How many times have I told

you, never underestimate anyone! If you dare to show that sort of look at Mr. Johnston again before me,

you can forget about those legs of yours!”

Jallen bowed his head and said respectfully, “Yes, Father.”

It was only then that Mr. Rogers Sr. nodded with satisfaction. He still needed his son of his to preside

over the banquet later, and that was why he held back. “Get up. By the way, have you managed to

contact the famous doctor that I asked you to? Have you sent him an invitation

yet?”

When Jallen heard that, he frowned. “Father, I’ye asked our technicians to investigate that famous doctor

you mentioned. There’s no such person across Hustuaburg. Were there any mistakes with the

information you had?”

When Mr. Rogers Sr. heard that, he exploded into anger. “You’re useless! How dare you

question me? Do you think that now I’ve delegated some authority to you, you can afford to not listen to

me? You probably didn’t even conduct a proper search! I don’t believe the hackers you hired are all that

useless! Let me tell you this: since I gave you the authority, I can also take it back at any time. Don’t you

dare rest on your laurels!”

When Jallen heard that, he was so terrified that his soul temporarily fled his body. He immediately fell to

his knees. “Father, I’ve really tried my best to search for him! But that person’s information seemingly just

vanished into thin air, as if he had never appeared in Hustuaburg before. None of my men could find any

tracks at all, and all those top-level hackers say that there’s no such person!”

When Mr. Rogers Sr. heard that, his expression not only did not improve, but he became even more

gloomy. He touched his ring finger as his voice trembled a little. “No more delays. No matter where he is,

you must find him for me! Or else I’ll get Christopher’s help instead. You hear me?”

Jallen immediately responded, “Yes, Father! I’ll get them to search day and night. I’ll give you an answer

within a week’s time!”

Mr. Rogers Sr. waved his hand. “Go then. Go and check how our guests are doing.”

Jallen nodded quickly as he got up and went to the front hall to entertain the guests.

Seeing Jallen leaving, Mr. Rogers Sr. stood there as his frail and pale body trembled uncontrollably as if

he was a piece of withered leaf in the wind.

All the servants looked at one another, not knowing if they should step forward or not. Suddenly, a

person came out from the crowd and steadied Mr. Rogers Sr. as he patted the latter on the back. “Father,

what’s wrong?”

Mr. Rogers Sr. grabbed his hand. After some difficulties, he managed to steady his breathing.” Shawn,

I’m fine”

The anxious expression on Shawn’s face did not seem to be fake as he held onto Mr. Rogers Sr. His

tone became a little heavier. “Father, you’re this sick, and you’re telling me you’re fine? What did our

doctor say? I know a very famous doctor; I’ll get him to check up on you tomorrow…”

Before Shawn could even complete his words, Mr. Rogers Sr. interrupted him. “Shawn, the banquet is

about to start. Help me over.” Shawn looked somewhat disapprovingly at him, “Father, your body is

already like that. There’s no need for you to personally appear in this banquet!”

Mr. Roger Sr. looked at his youngest son, whom he doted on the most, and then said slowly.” All of the

leading families are here. This is the best opportunity for me to introduce you to them. Shawn, let’s not

delay.”

It only then did Shawn reluctantly help Mr. Rogers Sr. to the front hall. In a corner that the latter could not

see, a hidden smile appeared on the corner of Shawn’s lips.

Shawn was Mr. Rogers Sr.’s illegitimate son, who was only eighteen years old this year. He was only

recently recognized and returned to the family. Yet he had two elder brothers and one sister above him,

and they were not shy about making their opinions known to him.

Fortunately for him, Mr. Rogers Sr. placed great importance on him. The latter knew his time was running

out, so he was doing his best to pave the way for Shawn. Although he could never be the master of the

Rogers family, what Mr. Rogers Sr. prepared for him was enough for him to live without any worries for

the rest of his life.

But he had been suffering from his mother for ten odd years now, and when he finally came to the

Rogers household , he could only get a small portion of their massive wealth. How could Shawn take that

standing?

He had secretly instigated his father against his two elder brothers. His sister was already married and

so was already separated from her father long ago. Now in the Rogers family, Mr. Rogers Sr. only trusted

him alone.

As he held Mr. Rogers Sr. by his side, he took the latter’s hand as Mr. Rogers Sr. delivered the speech,

thanking everyone for attending the banquet. He then heard the latter introduce him to the guests, and

as the dignitaries raised a glass for him with a respectful look, Shawn felt good

‘He should be the center of everyone’s attention, being looked at in envy and awe!’

‘These were what the Rogers family owed him!’
