Chapter 87: Chapter 83: Roy Lewis is a fickle playboy!
Translator: 549690339
Roy Lewis didn’t have a fever, but he had a slight cold.
Richelie Dunn went downstairs to get some medicine, asked Uncle Axel to send someone to buy it, and waited for him to finish breakfast before giving it to him.
Roy Lewis quickly finished washing up and came downstairs. Although he had a slight cold, he still looked as energetic as ever, walking with a breeze.
Little Timmy was still eating breakfast in the dining room. When he saw his dad coming in, he pretended not to see him and continued to eat his breakfast with his head down.
Roy Lewis had become closer to his son lately, and he felt a little uncomfortable with his son’s coldness.
He reached out to ruffle the little guy’s head, leaned in a little closer, and took a good look at him.
“Baby, who upset you again?”
Little Timmy glanced at him, turned his face away, and pushed his hand away.
“You!”, and then pouted and ignored him.
Roy Lewis didn’t know how to deal with him, but after thinking about it for a while, he still couldn’t figure out what was wrong.
He had to ask Richelie Dunn for help to find out what on earth he had done to upset his little ancestor.
Little Timmy finished his breakfast in silence, wiped his mouth clean, jumped off the ground, and left the dining room, ignoring Roy Lewis all the way.
When Roy Lewis came out after finishing breakfast, he didn’t see his son and asked Uncle Axel, “Where’s Timmy?”
“He’s gone to the playroom!”
As a result, just after Roy Lewis finished taking his medicine, little Timmy came down with a small backpack and said coldly to Roy Lewis.
“I’ve arranged to practice programming with Timothy. You should have the driver take me there first.”
Roy Lewis glanced at Richelle Dunn, and Richelle naturally sided with their son.
“I have a hospital meeting to discuss the surgical plan after giving you the injection. Mr. Lewis, please arrange for the driver to take Timmy there.”
Roy Lewis thought for a moment. Since his son was happier with Timothy and Tifanny, he decided to let him go and spend more time with them.
“Uncle Axel, you go and make the arrangements.”
As soon as little Timmy left, Roy Lewis asked Richelle Dunn.
“Timmy said I upset him. What’s going on?”
Richelle’s heart was definitely on her son’s side, thinking, you are his biological father, living under the same roof, and you have the nerve to ask me?
On her face, though, she still smiled and replied.
“How could 1 possibly know what’s going on between the two of you? Why don’t you ask Uncle Axel?”
Uncle Axel, of course, knew nothing, and Roy Lewis was still struggling to figure it out. After a while, he received a call from Nathan Caroule. The two of them talked, and Roy Lewis’ mind was completely occupied with work.
As usual, Richelle gave him the injection and left before he woke up.
Before she left, she specifically asked Uncle Axel not to let Roy Lewis go out today.
Roy Lewis didn’t have any particular reason to go back to the company. After lunch, he stayed in the study and held a videoconference with Nathan Caroule and several other executives.
Halfway through the meeting, the screen suddenly went black.
Roy Lewis just thought it was a temporary network problem, but within two minutes, he received a call from Nathan Caroule.
“Master Lewis, our system has been attacked!”
“What?”
Roy Lewis thought he had misheard. The security level of the Lewis Group’s defense systems was definitely in the top three in the Federation.
Moreover, just a few months ago, he personally led a team to reinforce the firewall, and he had always believed that only he could crack it!
“The hacker is extremely arrogant. After breaking through the system, they used our server to play ‘Tom and Jerry’!”
Roy Lewis picked up his coat and rushed out.
“Notify Mr. Zedd, our technical director, to immediately format the system and minimize the losses. In addition, notify the entire technical department to work overtime and find the hackers, with a heavy reward!”
All the data in the system was real-time synchronized by Roy Lewis to his top-secret disk. Therefore, formatting it first should not result in too much loss.
“Master Lewis, it’s strange. Mr. Zedd, our technical director said that there are no signs of intrusion in any of our databases.”
Roy Lewis had already left the living room and made a gesture for Uncle Axel to prepare the car immediately.
Roy’s face was gloomy, “So, Daniel’s meaning is that this person is just here to play, to make a visit? He’s already let the cat and mouse out, and you still don’t understand? How disrespectful does he have to be to us?”
Nathan Caroule was choked up and dared not speak again; after hanging up the phone, he immediately pulled key members from several departments into a group. The technical department was constantly reporting updates on the way.
Roy also opened his laptop.
Soon, Mr. Zedd appeared, “Master Lewis, the system can’t be deleted!”
As soon as Mr. Zedd spoke, the group chat quieted down, and after a long time, no one dared to send any more messages.
“Shit!”
Roy Lewis, such a cultured person, couldn’t help but swear.
“Find a way to protect the data and stall them as much as possible. I’ll be back as soon as I can.”
Roy was so furious that he felt like he could have a stroke; who the hell dares try to meddle on his turf?
He quickly searched through his mind, trying to figure out which bastard had managed to break through the defenses he had personally created.
But soon, he had virtually eliminated all the people he knew from his mental list.
After all, not to boast, but no one in the Federation dared to claim to be better than him in this field.He didn’t consider himself second best.
Could it be a foreign expert?
All the way back, Roy was thinking about countermeasures and trying to track the other side’s movements while closely monitoring the group chat.
Forty minutes later, Roy arrived back at Lewis Group and immediately went straight to the technical department. Mr. Zedd came up to him, pointed at the server’s large screen, and looked a bit embarrassed.
“Master Lewis, they’re demanding to speak with you personally!”
Roy sat down with a dark face and quickly typed a line of text.
“Speak, what’s your goal?”
Mr. Zedd had mentioned earlier in the group chat that although the system couldn’t be deleted, there were still no signs of intrusion into internal files. Therefore, everyone in the group believed that the hacker just wanted to extort money by holding the data ransom.
Although Roy didn’t like being blackmailed, he could only pray that the other party was causing trouble just for the sake of money in the current situation.
“US$ 68,340,550!”
The hacker was very decisive and directly quoted a price.
Roy had never experienced such humiliation in his life.
However, he had been trying to track down the hacker using his personal computer on his way back, only to find that there were likely two people involved who were very in sync. Every time he almost caught one of them, the other one would swoop in from somewhere and swiftly erase their tracks.
Taking into account that the other party had been inside the system for nearly an hour without causing any damage, and that the system’s files had indeed remained untouched, Roy weighed the pros and cons and gritted his teeth.
“Deal!”
If the other party were to steal the data, the losses would be incalculable!
The other party was also very straightforward and immediately sent over an account number.
Roy, an experienced player, could tell at a glance that the account was encrypted and it would be impossible to trace it.
Roy signaled to Nathan Caroule behind him to have the finance department transfer the money, and then typed another line of text.
“Interested in joining Lewis Group for a higher position?”
If such a person could be employed by Lewis Group, then the US$ 68,340,550 could be considered as advance salary!
“Hmph, no interest!”
This sound of disdain, inexplicably, gave Roy a sense of familiarity.
But he thought that there were many people who could snort so disdainfully, and it wasn’t just his precious son who could be so proud and snobbish.
After a while, the finance department reported that the money had been transferred to the other party’s account.
Almost at the same time, the hacker’s traces vanished without a trace, leaving only large characters occupying the screen.
“Roy Lewis is a playboy carrot!”
