Chapter 1357 Who Did You Offend?
Luke had a gut feeling that the incidents in A City and New York were not as simple as they seemed.
When they were in the New York branch, the employees there were not able to do much other than
upgrade and repair thepany''s system because they had no way to track the other party''s IP
address.
This time, he assumed that they could not track the hacker as well.
Luke picked up his phone and called Percy Mallory.
After the phone rang five times, he heard Percy''szy voice. It was obvious that he was still half-
asleep. "Why are you calling sote?"
Luke did not feel sorry for waking him up and asked, "Did you recently get to know someone well-
versed withputers?"
Percy held his forehead and nced at the woman resting on his right. She had taken some sleeping
pills, so the vibrations from his phone earlier did not seem to have disturbed her.
He carefully pulled out his hand, got up, and walked to the balcony. "He works in ourpany now.
What''s the matter?"
"Mypany''s system was hacked. I need some help to track the IP address," Luke said. He disturbed
Percy in the
middle of the night because he thought that Percy would know someone who could deal with this
matter.
The more he thought about the two incidents, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he asked
Percy to help.
Percy enjoyed the night breeze and looked back at the bedroom. Nina was still asleep.
"It''s early in the morning. I cant call him now. I''ll give him a call tomorrow and have him go to your
company." Percy agreed. After all, they were good friends who would take care of each other when
they were facing problems.
Luke let out a soft hum.
Percy was almost fully awake now. He was aware of what had happened in the New York branch so he
joked. "Who did you offend recently? Why are yourpany''s systems frequently getting hacked?"
"The most important thing now is to track the IP address. When the person arrives, have him mention
your name and the front desk will know what to do." Luke did not answer his ridiculous question before
he ended the call.
Percy was slightly displeased by the busy tone on the other end of the call. However, he ignored it
because they had been close friends for 20 years.
Percy walked back to the bedroom holding his phone. He closed the balcony door, turned around, and
found that Nina was sitting up.

He frowned and asked in a soft voice, "Did I wake you up?"
Nina shook her head. She was awakened suddenly, not because of him. She looked at him and saw
that he had his phone in his hand. She asked, "What happened?"
"It''s nothing. Luke asked me for help." Percy put his phone on the bedside table. When he was talking
on the phone just now, he noticed that the battery level of the phone was at 50 percent. After he
plugged in the charger, he returned to the bed.
Nina nodded when she heard his reply andy down again." It''s not a big deal, right?"
"I don''t like you talking about other men," Percyy down and hugged her waist domineeringly.
"..." Nina looked at the ceiling for a while. Her face was warm from his breath. She was talking about
his close friend, not random men.
Ever since Bianca lost her memory and their friendship drifted apart, she had stayed away from Luke''s
affairs.
She just casually asked to try to divert the panic from abruptly waking up from her dream.
Since losing Bianca as a friend, she had fewer and fewer people to open her heart to.
For three years, Percy had been asking her to be with him but she had not felt happy. There was less
and less to talk about. Sometimes when she was listening to him talk, she wondered if she was alive.
Percy watched her open her eyes to look at the ceiling, then raised his hand to cover her eyes.
She obediently closed her eyes, and Percy''s voice sounded by her ear. "Go to sleep, there are still a
few hours before dawn."
Nina gave a soft hum and did not speak anymore.
A few hourster, it was dawn.
Nina felt the man next to her sit up. Instead of opening her eyes, she continued to pretend to sleep.
Over the years, there were multiple asions when she would wake up from a dream in the middle of
the night. She was never able to go back to sleep for the whole night.
When she could not fall asleep, Percy would notice it and order her to continue sleeping.
Practice made perfect. She was getting better and better at pretending to be asleep. Even her
breathing could be controlled as evenly as when she was asleep. Naturally, he did not notice it
anymore.
After Percy left the bedroom, Nina slowly opened her eyes, got up, and washed up.
She sat in front of the dressing table, covered her dark circles with concealer, changed her clothes, and
went downstairs.
The maid in the vi had already prepared breakfast. Percy was sitting there eating.
Nina walked over and looked at the energetic man. She took a sip of milk and asked, "Are you going
back to the office today?"
"I''ll be heading to T Corporation first." Percy changed his itinerary and nned to go to T Corporation
to see what was going on.
The Crawford and Mallory families were both well-known families in A City. What was happening to T
Corporation made Percy alert.
It happened to T Corporation and might happen to hispany soon.
Nina nodded when she heard his reply. She took a sandwich and ate it in small bites.
Percy finished his breakfast quickly, nted a good morning kiss on Nina''s forehead, and left the vi.
Ninaughed at herself and touched the ce where he had kissed. She did not know if Percy realized
she had put on a thickyer of foundation.
After many years of not sleeping well, she had be thinner and thinner. To make herself look more
energetic, she could only use makeup to improve herplexion.
After Percy left, Nina put down the sandwich in her hand.
The maid looked at her and asked, "Miss, aren''t you eating anymore?"
"I can’t eat anymore." Nina shook her head, took the milk, and finished drinking it. Then, she wiped the
corners of her mouth.
The maid sighed and repeated Percy''s words, "Sir ordered me to stare at you until you finish eating
these two sandwiches."
"I''m not hungry. How about this? Put it in a takeaway bag and I''ll bring it to thepany to eat." Nina
heard Percy''s order for the maid and felt a little helpless.
Even if he left the vi, he still got someone to keep watch of her.
"Miss, if you do this, Sir will me me. He said that if you don’t eat the sandwiches, it means that my
cooking skills are not satisfactory and he''ll fire me. My husband is jobless and my kids are still in
school. Miss, please, I can''t live without this job." The maid begged her.
Nina nced at the security camera in the dining room and sighed helplessly. She picked up the
sandwich and took a bite.
Others installed security cameras in ces like the living room and garden, while Percy specially hired
someone to install a camera in the kitchen to monitor her.
