Archie and Benny nodded.
When they saw Roxanne leave, their eyes glinted with mischief.
Roxanne was not the slightest bit suspicious of the boys.
After all, they had always been obedient children who never showed any signs of aversion toward kindergarten. Naturally, they would not pretend to be sick to avoid school.
After ending the call, Roxanne brought the boys some warm water and indigestion pills.
The children did everything they were told.
Roxanne had wanted to go to the research institute. However, she chose to work from home in the end since the children were unwell.
After settling Archie and Benny, Roxanne got up and went into the study.
When the boys heard the study door shut, they were instantly in high spirits and they no longer showed signs of exhaustion from earlier.
Benny switched on the laptop on his bed, smiling happily when he saw that his virus had not been cracked.
“That evil woman must be at the office at this time,” Archie said with certainty while looking at the time.
Benny snorted smugly. “Then she must’ve seen my animation. I bet she’s mad.”
The thought of the evil woman stomping her feet in anger gave them a rush of joy.
“She’s got to pay the price for bullying Mommy.” Archie snorted coolly,
Benny nodded vehemently and started typing on the keyboard again.
Archie was confused. “What are you doing?”
Feeling excited, Benny explained, “Their technical team is too weak. My virus is so simple, yet they can’t crack it till now. In that case, I’ll increase the difficulty and make that evil woman angrier.”
Hearing that, Archie nodded to express his agreement. “It’s best if they can’t crack it. That way, more people will laugh at her. Let’s see if she still dares to bully Mommy in the future.”
With that, the boys poured their attention to the laptop.
Suddenly, a series of footsteps could be heard near the door.
Archie, who had sharp senses, heard the sounds outside and gave Benny a nudge.
Benny quickly finished coding and shoved the laptop to Archie.
When Roxanne entered the room, she saw Archie hugging the laptop and Benny sprawling on the bed, looking at the screen curiously.
“Aren’t you two feeling unwell? Why are you using the laptop instead of resting?” Roxanne frowned as she sat beside the boys. “Come here. Let me take a look at you again.”
Archie’s and Benny’s hearts tightened when they heard those words.
Mommy’s got incredible skills. If she examines us, we’ll definitely be exposed. Then, everything we did in secret will be exposed, too.
Roxanne reached out to hold Benny’s hand, but he avoided it.
“What’s wrong?” Roxanne gazed at him, perplexed.
Benny grabbed his wrist warily. Not knowing how to react, he turned to Archie for help.
Archie, on the other hand, was much calmer. He extended his hand toward Roxanne and said,
“Actually, I feel much better after having the medicine. But you can still check on us again if you’re worried.”
Roxanne’s attention was successfully captured by him, and she proceeded to examine him. After
confirming there was nothing wrong with Archie’s body, she turned to look at Benny.
She remembered that Benny’s symptoms were more severe just now.
Having witnessed Archie’s method. Benny came to his senses and scuttled toward Roxanne with a
grin. “Mommy, I’m feeling much better, too! The medicine you gave us is really incredible! You’re the best doctor in the world. Archie and I really admire you. We love you the most!”
Amused, Roxanne shook her head. After examining them and seeing that the boys were fine, she let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, she felt that something was amiss.
“But I’m still not feeling well,” Benny said seriously.
Roxanne’s heart lurched when she heard that, and she studied him concernedly.
To her surprise, she heard the boy saying sweetly, “I need your hug to feel better.”
Right after he said that, a soft, chubby body pounced on her.
Roxanne brought him into her embrace with a smile, and the cloud of doubt above her head dissipated.
As she hugged Benny, she glanced at the laptop screen. “Archie, what are you doing there?”
When she was occupied with Benny, Archie had seized the opportunity to change the browser page.
Looking as if nothing had happened earlier, Archie met Roxanne’s gaze. “I’m studying the trend of
today’s stocks. I invested in some foreign companies and earned some money.”
“Archie earned over fifty million!” Benny looked prouder than Archie himself.
When Roxanne heard the amount, she could not help but feel astounded. “That much? Archie, you’re incredible!”
Benny asked playfully, “What about me? What about me?”
Roxanne smiled. “Your computer skills are great, too. Both of you are incredible. I love you two so much!”
Then she planted a kiss on their foreheads.
The boys grinned innocently.
Meanwhile, everyone in Pearson Group had been working nonstop because of the virus.
Aubree had been hanging around in the technical department. Every now and then, she would spew some insults.
“Mr. Pearson.” Charles’ voice rang out beside her ears.
Hearing that, Aubree quickly composed herself and lowered her eyes. “Dad, why are you here?” she greeted the person who had just entered.
Samuel Pearson had a serious look on his square face. “What’s going on? Are you guys still not done with the virus?”
The manager of the technical department, who had been scolded by Aubree the entire morning, was drenched in a cold sweat. He nodded while bending over, apologizing, “Mr. Pearson, we’ve really done our best, but this virus is just too powerful. Every time we’re close to cracking it, another difficult
problem will appear. It’s like a never-ending,”
“So you’re saying you can’t solve it?” Samuel questioned, frowning.
The manager nodded guiltily.“Idiots!” Samuel roared. He then turned around to look at his daughter. “In that case, we can only contact Lucian’s company right away and ask if they have any solutions.”
Farwell Group had many talented employees, and their network system was the best in the world. On top of that, they had the world’s second-best computer genius working for them.
If Farwell Group, too, could not solve Pearson Group’s problem, then the company was done for:
“No way!” Aubree rejected it instantly and glanced at the image on the screen with a scowl.
If we get someone from Farwell Group to solve this, then Lucian will definitely see this. I’d be utterly humiliated if that happened.
Samuel lectured coldly, “If you’re worried about being humiliated, then why did you mess with people without knowing their background? And now, they’re getting back at you. Do you know how much our company will lose if this isn’t dealt with right now? Which one is more important now? Your reputation or the company?”
