Chapter 164: Hacking Techniques
Summer imagined Damian Knight’s smug expression just from looking at the text message.
Her fingers flew across the screen as she replied, "One meal of dumplings, you pick the filling."
Damian Knight chuckled on the other end; was Summer treating him like a child?
He responded, "You’ve already promised to make dumplings for me for the rest of your life. How about this, accompany me to a banquet next week. It’s decided."
Damian Knight didn’t give her a chance to refuse.
Summer looked at her phone screen, her expression slightly helpless.
She didn’t like doing things that didn’t help her purpose for returning, especially events like banquets that required her to appear in front of many people.
But strangely, she didn’t mind Damian Knight’s banquet invitation.
Summer always followed her heart, so she didn’t refuse and replied briefly with an "Okay."
The car drove steadily, as Summer watched the scenery outside the window retreating, her thoughts scattered.
Even though Stella Monroe had been temporarily sent away by her, Summer believed that given Stella Monroe’s means, she would definitely return soon.
Although the method was uncertain, Stella would surely come back.
Therefore, she needed to take advantage of the time Stella Monroe was away, bribing all the manor’s servants, and search the manor thoroughly.
Perhaps she could uncover some clues or old stories.
The time Stella was away allowed her to do many things, which was why she suggested sending Stella to the temple for reflection, despite knowing she would soon return.
After returning home, Henry Stanton arranged for a visiting doctor to treat her wounds.
Though numerous, the wounds were not serious, and with the best medicine prescribed by the doctor, they shouldn’t leave scars.
Upon hearing there’d be no scars, Henry Stanton breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Sadie, you need to be extra careful about your safety from now on."
Summer nodded, feigning gratitude, "Thank you, Dad, I’ll take care of myself and not make you worry."
Henry Stanton nodded satisfactorily and went to the study to do the accounting.
He needed to ask Damian Knight for money as discreetly as possible.
For some reason, the company’s projects over these years, which were supposed to be sure winners, ended up losing money. If this continues, he won’t be able to bear it any longer.
So he needed to restore healthy cash flow quickly to seize any chance of a comeback.
Meanwhile, Damian Knight returned to the Kingston Family with Isaac Ross.
Julian Kingston and Ryder Quinn had been trapped and only returned to the Kingston Family now.
The four met and exchanged information.
Julian Kingston spoke, "Those people are quite skilled. I recognize one of them; he’s ranked third on the assassin list. It seems like the forces behind them are very powerful to have someone from the top ten serving them."
Ryder Quinn reached out to check the injuries on Damian Knight, ensuring there was nothing serious before relaxing.
Among the four major families, Knight Family led the way, and among the four of them, Damian Knight was the core. If anything happened to Damian Knight, they would all face severe repercussions from the hidden enemy.
Of course, Ryder Quinn’s concern for Damian Knight stemmed purely from brotherly affection.
As Ryder Quinn relaxed, he angrily gritted, "That guy is like a hidden viper; we don’t know who he is. Without finding him, we can’t fight back!"
"Who said we can’t find him?" Damian Knight spoke calmly, with a hint of elusive pride in his tone.
Ryder Quinn and Julian Kingston simultaneously asked, "What do you mean by that?"
