Chapter 134 His Target is You!
Elizabeth wasn't the same girl who let Michael walk all over her four years ago.
Back then, he was her whole world.
Now, she couldn't care less about him.
Michael? Step aside!
She was determined to focus on her career and not let emotions get in the way!
She was looking forward to getting off work and spending time with her kids.
That evening, Elizabeth took her kids to the amusement park at the mall.
She was so busy that she barely had time to take the children out to play. She felt very guilty about this. So, whenever she had even a little bit of time, she would make sure to spend it with them.
Pearl and Nolan had been here last time. As soon as they got into the mall lobby, they made a beeline for the elevator.
Right then, the big screen in the mall lobby was showing financial news.
Michael's interview popped up on the screen.
Nolan suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Elizabeth followed Nolan's gaze and immediately saw Michael's confident and extraordinarily handsome face on the screen.
Pearl, seeing Nolan stop, also looked at the screen.
She recognized Michael from the photos Nolan had shown her. 'Wasn't this Mom's ex-husband?' But She still asked, "Mom, who is that? He's so handsome!"
Elizabeth, keeping a straight face, said, "Just a rich, bad-tempered guy with no morals. Remember, if you ever see him, stay as far away as possible. Don't go near him."
Nolan asked in confusion, "Why?"
Hearing Elizabeth's words, Pearl also looked up. "Yeah, Mom, why? Do you have a grudge against him?"
Elizabeth snapped, "Not exactly! It's just that this guy really hates kids. If he sees how beautiful and cute you two are, he might strangle you."
Pearl was so scared she covered her mouth.
Nolan calmly asked, "Is he a demon?"
Elizabeth admitted, "Pretty much. Don't be fooled by his good looks."
Nolan nodded, somewhat understanding, "Okay. I understand, Mom."
His gaze shifted to the big screen; in fact, he had already memorized Michael's face long ago.
It seemed Michael had wronged Elizabeth for a long time.
So the divorce definitely wasn't Elizabeth's fault.
It was Michael who hurt Elizabeth's feelings and wanted to get rid of Nolan and Pearl.
Pearl and Nolan entered the amusement park.
Elizabeth sat in the parents' waiting area.
Pearl and Nolan walked into a corner of the castle. "Nolan, is that man really going to strangle us, like Mom said?" Pearl asked, clutching his arm tightly.
He replied, "Mom wouldn't lie to us."
Pearl said, "Nolan, I'm scared. Why would he want to strangle us?"
He replied, "Because he might be our biological father. He did something to hurt Mom. So, Mom divorced him."
Pearl widened her eyes. "What? Nolan, how can we be sure?"
Nolan, also wanting to confirm whether Michael was their biological father, replied, "I already have a plan."
Pearl said earnestly, "I'll follow your lead, Nolan."
Nolan instructed, "Alright. You go play now."
Elizabeth sat quietly in the parents' waiting area, deep in thought.
She was thinking carefully about the news Sarah had told her today.
Calla had blackmailed Michael into a relationship by promising to treat Eloise.
This meant Michael had acknowledged Calla's medical skills.
How did he acknowledge them?
Of course, it was because Eloise's surgery was very successful.
At that time, Elizabeth had left after the surgery and specifically instructed the surgical nurse not to tell anyone about her involvement.
She also called the hospital to make sure they wouldn't spill any info about her, including the surveillance footage of her and Eloise entering the hospital that day.
So, Michael only had the footage of her leaving the hospital that day.
As for Calla, she had the nerve to take credit for the surgery.
Wasn't she scared Michael would find out it wasn't her who did it?
'Maybe she already had a plan,' Elizabeth thought, a flicker of defiance in her eyes. But the anger still simmered inside her. How could Calla be so bold? It wasn't her surgery, yet she dared to use it to blackmail Michael.
She wondered if Calla could handle Michael's anger and punishment when he found out the truth.
After all, with her medical skills, she wouldn't be able to handle Eloise's future treatments.
The "time bomb" she planted would eventually blow up in her face.
As for Michael, if Calla wanted such a jerk, she could have him.
Elizabeth just wanted to stay far away from them.
She thought these two despicable people were a perfect match!
With them together, plus Eloise, whose intellect resembles that of a child, the Thomas Family would be quite lively.
In that case, Michael wouldn't have time to question her about the two kids.
She and the kids could finally have some peace.
Elizabeth was very satisfied with this.
For now, she wouldn't expose Calla. Let the woman have her fun. Michael's attention was a distraction.
The next morning at nine o'clock, suddenly, all the computers at STellar Enterprises crashed, and their screens turned completely white.
No matter what the staff did, they couldn't get the computers to work.
All the IT staff were urgently deployed but couldn't fix the computers.
Michael's mouth tightened into a line.
This was a severe network crisis—the worst attack from a competitor.
During the time the computers were down, who knew how much damage had been done?
And who knew how many confidential files had been stolen?
The network paralysis lasted for half an hour.
All the employees' computers automatically restarted.
Michael gathered the IT department and ordered them to find out who the hacker was and which company had hired them.
Stellar Enterprises' IT department consisted of highly paid computer experts, but they were helpless against this crash.
It was clear the other side was prepared.
After giving his orders, Michael returned to his office on the top floor.
As soon as he sat down, he was startled by his computer screen.
The white background was crawling with countless cockroaches.
They weren't just images; they were moving.
For Michael, who had a cleanliness obsession, seeing so many moving cockroaches made his skin crawl.
He stood up, breathing heavily, and quickly called the IT department, "Get up here, my computer has been attacked too!"
When the IT department head arrived, Michael was pacing in his large office.
Daniel also came over.
He took one look at Michael's computer and shuddered, quickly hugging his arms and stepping back.
It was as if the screen was filled with real, live cockroaches.
He stood next to Michael. "Mr. Thomas, it seems the hacker's target is you!"
Michael frowned. "What do you mean?"
Daniel analyzed, "Last time, the hacker broke into Anthony's phone and stole a lot of information. That must have included a lot of your information."
Michael nodded. "Go on."
