"Don’t worry, Sis. Consider it done! Uhmmm….Give five or ten minutes, and then consider it done. I’ll take care of them all..."
Stefan answered while his fingers started dancing on the keyboard to check the CCTV near and inside the building. He needed to locate all those people before sending the information to the apartnt security.
He could also send the information to the police station near the building, reporting his suspicions about the people carrying bombs or being a group of kidnappers monitoring their targets.
He had so many ideas to kick them out as fast as possible. Just thinking about all his ideas was enough to make Stefan feel excited.
"OK! I’ll wait here while enjoying my latte, then. Good luck, bro..." Bella smiled as she ended the call.
After Bella finished talking on the phone, she was surprised to see her grandfather and Nick’s suspicious gazes directed at her.
"Grandpa? Nick? Why are you both looking at like that?" Bella asked with a slight chuckle.
"Who did you call?" Isaac asked curiously. Clearly, it wasn’t Tristan because Bella’s voice sounded casual as if she was talking to her younger brother, not her husband, or not with her employee.
"Oh, he’s my friend who’s an expert in computers," Bella grinned, ignoring her grandfather, who was still looking at her suspiciously.
Bella turned to look at Nick. "Can you make a coffee latte, please!? I need my caffeine—"
"Sure, young miss," Nick answered, disappearing into the kitchen.
"You an he’s a hacker?" Isaac asked again. He still doubted her answer.
Bella chuckled upon hearing his question. She felt amused to recall how her son, Dax, had influenced her grandpa with technology. Recently, her grandpa had picked up many new terms related to computers and coding, like hacker stuff.
"Oh, please, Grandpa... OK, just for your information, not all computer experts are hackers." Bella stifled a laugh while looking at her grandfather, who was still suspicious of her.
"If he’s not a hacker, how could he get the people downstairs to leave this building? He must have checked the CCTV surrounding this place, right?"
Bella was speechless.
After seeing how curious her grandpa was, she finally nodded but didn’t say much about it.
She imdiately changed the conversation so her grandfather would no longer ask about Stefan.
"Oh right, Grandpa, don’t forget we will have a lunch party at my house tomorrow. I invited a few of my office colleagues to lunch with us. You can co too if you want to et my friends..."
"Sure, sure, dear... I will definitely co."

anwhile, in the basent, in a black sedan, Lucas and Henry sat in the back seat.
Henry was busy scrolling through social dia, looking for interesting content. At the sa ti, Lucas called Jacob Donovan, his older brother, to report to him.
Lucas reported that their father refused to help and lend them the property to sell. He also inford him about their father’s refusal to help their younger brother, Thomas Donovan.
"Bro, stop asking to talk to Father again. It’s no use; Father rejected outright. I advise you to et him yourself or ask Emma to do it," Lucas said in a desperate tone.
"Damn it! Dad has abandoned us! He is really cruel to us." Jacob’s anxiety could be heard from the other end, making Lucas shake his head in stress. "Lucas, Father likes you, even favors you, more than . If he rejected what you said, I’d think whatever I say to him would be rejected, too."
"Yeah. You know what? That’s why you have to persuade Emma to do it. To talk to Father." Lucas took another deep breath. "Don’t tell to talk to Emma too, bro. I already annoyed and angered her when I asked about my wife’s whereabouts."
"What the hell with your wife, Lucas!? Why did she run away from you, and how the hell can’t you find her? She’s your fucking wife, for god sake!" Jacob Donovan asked in annoyance.
"Bro, stop asking . I don’t even know the answer. That damn woman is giving a headache. She’s really pissed off like I have never been pissed off before!"
"If you find her, you have to teach your damn bitch a lesson. Don’t let sothing like this happen again. She mocked your authority! Don’t you know that?"
"Yeah, yeah. I know! I’ll lock her at ho so she won’t have a chance to run away again. She is so stupid!"
While Lucas angrily talked to Jacob, Henry, who sat beside him, felt worried. He turned his gaze to his father, "We have to move now, Dad..."
Henry’s sudden voice made Lucas stop mid-sentence. Looking at him, he said, "Why do we have to move? We must stay here waiting for your sister or mother to appear."
"Look over there, Dad..." Henry said while pointing at one of their people’s cars parked near the basent lobby.
"Huh?" Lucas said, confused. When he saw what Henry pointed out, he imdiately hung up the phone. "Why did the police approach their car? Do the police know we’re stalking soone?"
"Sir, it seems so," replied the driver sitting behind the wheel. "We have to move now, sir. If they know we’re in the sa group as them, they might take us to the police station for interrogation."
"What are you waiting for? Co on! Fucking drive the car!" Henry hurriedly ordered the driver. He didn’t want to deal with the police in this city.
"No! No! Stop, don’t drive now! Not yet!" Lucas shouted, confusing the driver and Henry. "Before you drive, you must check if our people on and around the building are still on standby."
Lucas was determined not to fail this ti. He couldn’t shake the feeling that his father was hiding sothing.
When his father claims that Bella is abroad, Lucas is sure that Bella is actually in the city. There was no way his father didn’t know where Bella was.
The driver quickly contacted other groups. However, after calling several tis, no one, not one group, picked up his calls, which frightened him. He called another person; after the fifth ring, the phone finally connected.
"Get out! Get the fuck out of the building! We have been exposed! Everyone above has been arrested. I managed to escape because I was on guard on the farthest side of the building—"
