Chapter: 564

To his surprise, Jonathan glanced at his watch and agreed. “Alright, I'll go get the ingredients now. Wait for me."

"You're actually going to cook?" Rowan asked, his voice tinged with disbelief.

Jonathan nodded, his expression serious.

As he turned to leave, he paused, half-turning to flash Rowan a knowing smile.

“Oh, and next time you decide to hack into Bates Group's server, don't waste your effort covering your tracks. No one will notice. And even if they do, I can restore everything with a single click."

“Impossible! You must be lying," Rowan accused, shaking his head vehemently.

Jonathan simply shrugged, pulled out his phone, and said, "1:03 AM, 10:27 AM... And you were on the server just a minute ago."

"But I cleared and reset everything!" Rowan's eyes widened, disbelief etched across his face.

Seeing the frustration etched on his son's face, Jonathan couldn't help but walk over and give his cheek a playful pinch. “Who taught you to be a hacker?"

"My teacher! He's incredible!" Rowan beamed with pride.

Jonathan watched his son's glowing admiration for someone else and, feeling a twinge of jealousy, declared, "Once I wrap up my work, I'll show you some tricks myself."

With that, he grabbed his car keys and headed for the supermarket, determined to make sure his son had a nutritious meal. He even picked up some extra side dishes.

As he was leaving, his eye caught a toy stall near the entrance.

Initially, he walked past, but something made him pause and turn back.

Approaching the stall, he asked the vendor, "Hi, could you help carry these to my car?"

“Of course, sir!"

After making his purchases, Jonathan noticed he was short on time for his upcoming meeting. He paused momentarily, then made a call to Brody.

"Push the meeting back three hours."

"Mr. Bates, that means you won't get any rest tonight!" Brody protested.

"My son is eager to taste my cooking tonight."

Brody caught on immediately. "I'll inform everyone immediately."

“Good. Also, is everything resolved with Goldwald Company?"

"Yes, Mr. Bates! Ryan attempted to use his influence to dismiss Bethany, but I stepped in and curtailed his power," Brody reported with enthusiasm, hoping for approval.

Jonathan's brow furrowed as he listened. “Did I ask about Bethany? I was asking about Goldwald Company!"
