Rebirth as The Billionaire's Seventh Wife-Chapter 124: Lost Half His Wealth

Opal City.

"What in the world are you up to, Lucas Spencer? You claim that person is the continent’s top hacker, yet this report looks like a project from elementary school. No... No... even young students could create something more impressive than this!"

Ryan Spencer slammed the brown map folder hard onto the table, his intense glare directed at his eldest son in a fury.

This is all because of Aurora Spencer. He had already tried to find her to speak with her, but she suddenly disappeared from his reach. He can’t locate her in Opal City.

Even her apartment address in the capital is untraceable. It appears the girl has disappeared without a trace.

If not for his older brother, Willow, who was detained at the police station, he wouldn’t have made such an extreme decision to believe in his son and hire a top hacker to obtain all the information about Aurora.

However, he felt he had little choice but to comply with his son’s idea to find Aurora’s weakness and pressure her into dropping the lawsuit against Willow.

Ryan wanted to punish his son, but seeing him looking scared made him hold back, though he continued to voice his frustration.

"Do you know how much money I waste on a report that resembles something an elementary school student created?"

He paused, his intense stare still locked on his son. After a brief moment, he continued, "...Fifty million! I must sell some of our properties in this city!"

Ryan inhales deeply to steady himself. He must control his anger now, or he risks collapsing and finding himself in the emergency room from a heart attack.

"Dad, trust me, huh!? The hacker is the powerful one I hear about in the underground." Lucas Spencer finally expresses the words he’s been holding back since earlier.

Lucas feels powerless now because the report he received was indeed trash, and he agrees with his father. freewёbnoνel.com

However, he also can’t protest because it resulted from the investigation he received from Nubox Junction. He believed in Nubox Junction. They couldn’t alter the report.

Ryan shifted his focus back to his useless son. He spoke with a tone that blended anger and regret, "You know...fifty million means we lost half of our wealth!!"

"I understand, Dad. I get it... But that’s exactly what happened!" Lucas replied softly.

Lucas added, "Perhaps Aurora was innocent; she seemed flawless, which is why the report indicates she was clean!" he could only say that to make his father less angry.

But Lucas was wrong. Ryan Spencer is even more furious upon hearing that.

"For God’s sake, Lucas! How could your incompetent hacker fail to find Aurora’s recent address and figure out where she is now?" Ryan snapped, his blood boiling and rushing to his face. He retook a long, deep breath while rubbing his stiff nape.

After a moment of tense silence, Ryan’s voice broke through, tight with fury. "I don’t want to hear any more about it. Just call that hacker and demand they give back the real investigation—or else return my money!"

Lucas was utterly at a loss for words. He scratched his head in frustration, though it wasn’t itchy.

"Dad, are you trying to kill me? Do you even know who they are? With a single move, they could annihilate me."

Before his father could say anything, Lucas continued to express his worry: "Ugh, not only me but us. Our entire family. They will take the rest of your money and everything you have and then leave you with a penny!"

Ryan Spencer shrugged, feeling as if all his muscles were betraying him. He hadn’t considered the consequences when deciding to hire the powerful hacker.

"L-Lucas, are you saying we will lose those twenty billion just like that?" Ryan Spencer’s voice quivers.

"I’m sorry, Dad..."

Ryan’s hands clench into tight fists, trying to hold back his raging emotions.

’Aurora Spencer!! This is all your fault! Because of you, I lost my money! You wait, I will make sure you suffer...’

In an instant, darkness consumed Ryan as he fainted, overwhelmed by the thought of losing his vast fortune.

...

Green Hills.

"Augh!" Aurora cried out in shock after accidentally biting her tongue while speaking.

"Aurora? Are you alright?" Alex asked, walking quickly to her. He gently placed his hands on her shoulders to ensure her face was turned and gazed toward him.

"I’m okay. I bit my tongue. It feels like someone has just cursed me." She chuckled softly, looking into his concerned eyes.

Alex fell quiet, absorbing her response.

After pondering for some time, still bewildered by its meaning, he finally asked, "What does biting your tongue have to do with the person who cursed you? And, how do you know someone cursed you?"

Aurora was speechless. She spoke nonsense, yet this man still wanted her to clarify.

Here’s what she knows about Alexander Graystone: not only does he lack a sense of humor, but he is also exceptionally rational in his thinking.

"It’s okay, I was just saying a random thing I read somewhere..." Aurora answered nonchalantly before excusing herself to return to her bedroom.

"No need to hurry, Aurora. Let’s chat before we have breakfast," Alex said, guiding her to the sofa.

Nevertheless, Aurora remained where she was. "Alex, I need to change... it won’t take long, though!"

Aurora felt odd talking to him; he was neat in formal clothes, while she wore pajamas. She felt uneasy under his gaze, especially since she wore nothing beneath her pajamas.

Alex stopped and turned to her. Seeing her pleading gaze, he immediately abandoned his plan to ask her about their kissing.

He smiled and nodded at her. "Alright, I will wait for you in the dining room."

"Hmm, I won’t be long to change..." she said before hurrying out of his room.

...

When Aurora entered her bedroom, she was surprised to find Tina sitting on the sofa, waiting for her.

Seeing Tina’s gaze, Aurora knew she must demand an explanation.

Thinking about Alex kissing her and waking up in his arms made her blood rush to her face. She couldn’t help but blush!
