Her Seven Little Bodyguards

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 He Deserved It

Still, Vania remained calm on the surface as she said, “This isn’t my doing. Galaxy Corporation intends to work with Luke Corporation and would never risk that much over a small mistake like this. As for me, 10 million is just the price of a handbag, and there’s no need for me to go to such great lengths and hack into Luke Corporation’s firewall just for this amount of money. Since someone has framed me, I’ll definitely look into this matter as soon as possible and give you an appropriate explanation, President Luke.” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Hanson stared at her before he replied indifferently, “If that’s the case, I’ll be waiting for your answer, Miss Greyson.”

Before she left, he added, “I want to remind you of one more thing, Miss Greyson. This isn’t a good way to try to draw my attention.”

After all, he had met too many women who would do anything just to get close to him.

At his words, Vania’s expression stiffened. “Don’t worry, I’m not interested in a big shot like you, President Luke. Regarding today’s issue, I’ll investigate it as soon as possible and give you a satisfactory explanation.”

Saying that, she exited without even looking back, not caring about the partnership anymore. After leaving the company, she rushed back to Haling Villa. As she stepped into the house, the first thing she saw was three children sitting on the couch. They were all dressed the same, and their looks were already extraordinary at a young age as each of them obediently read their own books.

Upon seeing Vania’s return, the children surrounded her with smiles on their faces as they called out cutely, “Mommy.”

They looked absolutely naive and harmless, making Vania’s anger dissipate by a good amount. These three were her children that had lived in her belly for ten months. Back then, in the hospital, she had given birth to five babies, but they were sold off to different human traffickers by Melanie. It was only by spending a huge amount of money and buying off the nurse who worked for Melanie that she was able to acquire a lead on her children’s whereabouts.

Fortunately, the human traffickers were only in it for the money, and as long as she had enough, she could get her children back. Still, there were two more children that she couldn’t find any trace of until now. For the past five years, she had been looking for them tirelessly, but alas, her efforts bore no fruit.

Thinking about Hanson’s warning from before, Vania was not bewitched by the children’s adorable appearances and said sternly, “Three of you, listen carefully. I have a question for you, and you better answer me honestly.”

This was the first time that Vania was speaking to her precious children so strictly.

Their expressions remained natural as they replied simultaneously, “We’ll answer honestly, Mommy.”

The eldest son, James, took the initiative to ask, “What’s wrong, Mommy?”

Vania adjusted her expression, her face turning strict. “About Luke Corporation’s…”

“It wasn’t us.” The three children piped up in unison again.

She hadn’t even finished her sentence, but they were already denying it? Weren’t they just blowing their own cover? Vania’s eyes narrowed into a glare; she was infuriated.

Then, James spoke up again, saying, “Mommy, what happened?”

Her second son, Jack, chimed in, “Yeah, what’s Luke Corporation?”

The third child, Jacob, was even more adorable as he put on a pitiful expression. “Mommy, why are you mad at us?”

The three of them looked like they were about to cry.

All of this is just an act… Others might have been fooled, but Vania knew better than anyone else that although her children were only five years old, they were exceptionally good at technology.

The eldest son, James, was calm and composed, giving off a natural air of extravagance. At a young age, he already possessed traits of a leader, not to mention his impressive, extraordinary computing skills.

Meanwhile, the second son, Jack, was smart, thoughtful, and had a little bit of a sharp tongue. Though he was just a child, he already had an amazing photographic memory and was their little strategist.

On the other hand, the third son, Jacob, was very different from his two elder brothers. He liked candies and money, and although his IQ was obviously not any lesser than his brothers, he liked to play dumb to take advantage of others the most. Besides, he still had a little baby fat on his face, making him the most difficult to resist.

However, Vania was not swayed by her children’s teary eyes and still remained strict as she asked, “Tell me your reason.”

Seeing that their mother was being so certain, the three children exchanged glances, as if knowing they couldn’t hide it anymore. In an instant, they put their whining voices away and returned to their usual demeanor, causing Vania to be taken aback by their skillful acting.

Still the spokesperson of the three, James said calmly, “He looks like he’s more gullible.”

Following immediately after was Jack’s sharp remark. “He looks like a useless man, and we were right. He couldn’t even defend his own company’s firewalls.” Saying that, he even spread his arms to show his disdain.

Vania was almost driven up a wall by their words. Gullible? Useless? He was the head of the almighty Luke Corporation and was a legendary existence in Hillsworth. Since when did he look gullible and useless?

Jacob went along with his brothers and pouted. “Mommy, did that man try to bother you? If he dares to bully you, we’ll hack all of his funds. That way, we can use his money to buy ourselves candies.”

The other two boys clenched their tiny fists. “Jacob is right. If he dares to bully you, Mommy, we’ll take everything away from him and leave him with nothing—nothing but his underwear.”

Hearing that, Vania didn’t know if she should laugh or cry. She believed that these three little devils were fully capable of this, but she didn’t want to go directly against Luke Corporation. After all, Luke Corporation was filled with talents, and if they managed to trace this back to her, things wouldn’t end well. Even so, she was still very touched by her children’s wishes to protect her.

However, even if she was moved, she couldn’t turn a blind eye to them. “Sweethearts, I’m really touched that you’d protect me like this, but what you did isn’t right. How could you hack someone’s firewalls and steal their money?”

“He deserved it,” Jack muttered under his breath.
