Instantly, Be froze upon hearing the question.

Be silently scolded herself for being too casual about a matter her grandfather and aunt were deeply concerned about.

She mentioned having a business agreement between Donovan and Dawson Group, implying she had an insider or was breaking thepany’s secret through a powerful hacker. But she didn’t reveal anything about her exact method.

Hopefully, they wouldn’t guess she had a hacker. Otherwise, she would be in trouble exining Stefan’s existence to them.

Just before Be wanted to respond, Isaac Donovan chuckled slightly, stopping her to speak.

Isaac narrowed as he leaned in, his voice filled with suspicion. "You must have a formidable hacker, right?" he asked, his gaze fixed on Be. Seeing her avoid his gaze, he couldn’t help but smile. "Ah, that must be it. You must’ve asked Max to hack the Donovan Group, right?"

Be was speechless; she looked at him while chuckling inwardly. Gosh! How could he know about that?

"Grandpa, since when did you know Max was a hacker?" Be asked.

"Oh, I know about that, alright. Because my brilliant great-grandson Dax never holds any secret from me." Isaac Donovan casually said, but Be instantly felt her throat dry.

How could Dax know about it? Did Max tell Dax about his daily job?

Be was sure that Tristan and she had never told their son about Max’s identity. So far, they had only said that Max was aputer expert who led the IT department at his father’s office.

Before Be could say something, Isaac spoke again, "You know what? This is why I strongly encourage Dax to learn from Max. I hope that in the future, my little Dax will be the number one hacker in this country!"

Be almost fell out of her chair when she heard that.

’Geez, Grandpa’s idea is really random. Why does he suddenly want Dax to be a hacker?’ She silently took a deep sigh, hearing her Grandfather’s words.

"Oh, my god... So, little Dax already knows how to operate aputer?" Emma was shocked when she heard her father and Be talking about her grandson, who was now learningputers to be a hacker.

"Yes, of course..." Isaac proudly smiled. "He will be a great hacker in the future; he is an extremely smart boy. Heck, he is a super genius boy!"

Emma gasped in shock. "Wah...Wah... No wonder I feel like speaking to an adult when I speak to Dax."

"Ha ha ha... You will be surprised to see how genius our little Dax is!"

Be, "..."

Hearing her grandpa and aunt talk about Dax’s future instantly made her dizzy. Or was she so hungry because it was now dinner time, and they had not yet finished talking? She could no longer tell the difference.

Sighing profoundly and gazing at her grandpa, she said, "Grandpa, I’m d you think Max is a genius hacker, but I didn’t get it from Max. Other resources at my disposal were used to gain the info. My apology because I can’t share with you who or what the resource is."

"Really? Are you being frank here with me?" Isaac doubted her words and still suspected she had asked Max to do it.

However, Be ignored his doubtful expression and continued, "And Grandpa, I will not force my son to be a hacker. In fact, I don’t really n too much about my boy’s future. Just the usual n like any other parents have for their kid. As long as he is happy, that would be enough for me. But I will support whatever he wants to do in the future..."

Even though Be knew her son, Dax, had the profound natural gift to be aputer expert, she would not direct him to master just one field. So, no. She was not forcing her son to be a hacker.

"Hahaha, I know, my dear Be. I’m just saying that because my little Dax loves learning everything aboutputers. I believe he will beat his teacher, Max!" Isaac Donovan’s proud smile slowly appeared again.

Be was utterly speechless.

Talking to her grandfather about this matter would prolong the conversation. She needed to divert the conversation, and suddenly, she felt her stomach growl.

She nced at her watch to check the time for dinner.

Just in time, Geoffrey came in and rescued her. He invited them all to dinner.

...

After a delicious dinner, where everyone enjoys the food too much to continue their previous conversation, Isaac Donovan heads back to his house.

At the same time, Lewis Sinir takes some well-deserved rest in his room. Tristan and Dax have already made their way back upstairs.

Be continues to talk with Aunty Emma in the living room.

They have so many things to discuss, especially the Donovan Group matters.

Be doesn’t hide anything from her Aunt Emma. She tells her about the bribery news on the inte. And, because of the news, the share price of the Donovan Group has fallen to its lowest ever. She also caused discord among the shareholders. It’s all her orchestration.

This information shocks Emmapletely. She didn’t think her niece could do that. When she finds out Be is still married to Tristan, she thinks Tristan has helped her get revenge on all her brothers, but she guessed wrongly.

"Be, did you do it because you knew the Dawson Group owner wanted to marry you?" Emma asks. She believes Be already knows about the marriage arrangement, so she is mad.

When Emma finds out about it, she is just as mad as Be. She strongly opposes the idea, but her brothers, Jacob and Thomas, support it, using thepany as an excuse. Because of that, she can’t do anything to cancel the marriage arrangement.

Be took a deep breath before answering, "No, Auntie… Initially, I didn’t n to use this harsh method to take revenge on my uncle and father for what they did to me. But, when they sent a gangster to kidnap me, I decided to do this."

"Oh my god!" Emma’s hand trembled as she covered her gasp, too shocked to hear her brothers sent a gangster after Be. "What were they thinking? How could they do that to you? Waaah… I will make sure to scold them allter!"

Emma’s face turned red with anger. If she were in East City, she would rush to meet them all, give them a hard p, and scold them.

"B-Be, are you okay? Did the gangster hurt you?" Emma looked at Be worriedly, holding back her anger towards her brothers.

"I’m fine, Auntie... I’m fine," Be patted Emma’s hand gently. "The gangsters didn’t have a chance to harm me. My husband assigned someone to guard me, so everything was alright."

Be wasn’t entirely honest because she didn’t want her family to know she had martial arts abilities.

"Thank God," Emma muttered, smiling. Her anger slowly faded, but she was still upset with her brothers. She would teach them a lesson at every opportunity.

"Auntie, my uncles and father were not the masterminds. They are not the ones who sent the gangster. It’s a vile act of…Bradley Caville..."

"WHAT!?" Emma was shocked.
