Chapter: 514
"Oh, my God! Don't make trouble! Your mom is worried sick about you. Let's go back and see her first."
At the mention of his mother, Rowan looked upset. "I did this to make her happy. My jerk dad mistreated Mom. I want to get back at him."
"Being with your mom is what makes her happy! Listen, you're too young to understand. If people discover who your dad is, they might separate you from your mom." Now, Jayson didn't dare to question Rowan. After all, Rowan had actually hacked Bates Group's official website. But Jayson also understood that Bates Group wouldn't collapse so easily.
Rowan simply hung his head and stayed quiet, fiddling with his phone.
Then his frown deepened.
“I can't believe Bates Group is clean on taxes! They've managed their finances well. It seems I can't start from here..."
Surprised, Jayson asked, "You understand all this?"
"I just took a quick look. I don't really know much about it." Rowan shrugged and looked up, his eyes mirroring Jonathan's. “But since there's no issue with finances, I'll start checking for project violations. I've noticed backers in other companies have them; surely Bates Group has some too."
Jayson couldn't help but sigh at the powerful genes of Jonathan. How could his son have such a high 197
"Uncle..." Rowan's attitude shifted from being assertive just moments ago to looking quite pitiful. "When I see Mom later, will she scold me?"
Hearing this, Jayson couldn't help but smile.
After all, Rowan was still a child who feared his mother's scolding.
"She might scold you, but she's not really blaming you. She's just terrified of losing you!”
As a child, Rowan couldn't grasp the complex emotions of adults.
"Will she still love me?"
“Absolutely! She will always love you and Nola. She would give her life for you."
“That's all I need! As long as she loves me, I can handle a scolding."
Rowan grinned, his eyes squinting joyfully. Then, lifting his phone, he exclaimed, “Look, Bates Group's official website is shut down! Looks like I've been caught."
Jayson was quiet for a moment before responding, “After what you did, how could you not be?"
"It doesn't matter. Unless they completely overhaul this app, my virus will stay put."
Jayson remained silent.
He was uncertain whether it was a blessing or a curse for Jonathan to have such a brilliant son.
Bethany was in agony every passing minute.
Even though Jayson had texted to inform her that he had picked up Rowan, she couldn't relax until she saw Rowan with her own eyes.
