Chapter 268 - Delivered
After a few days, there is the most awaited time that everyone was looking forward to. Since Ian was confident that his brother would take care of the decorations and other preparations that Tracey wanted for the Bachelor and Bachelorette party, he had to drive his chopper with a mini-freezer with him to meet up with Terrence.
They have a spot now and are probably waiting in that area. He landed perfectly on one of Terrence's properties a few kilometers away from his house and they switched mini-freezers.
"How's Violet?" Terrence asked.
"There were times that her breasts hurt a lot. Probably by missing her baby."
Ian looked at Terrence's eyes. He had never seen him with dark circles like this.
"He's been crying all night or there were times that he teased us.."
"H-how?" Ian was so curious.
"When my wife and I would about to have sex, he would cry. That would be after my wife would dance him to sleep. He was asleep, dude, and just right before or when we were in the middle… he would damn cry and he would laugh at me."
Ian was utterly puzzled while he was staring at Terrence.
"Bro, I am not lying. That baby isn't normal! He was playing on us."
Ian burst into laughter and smacked Terrence's car so hard. He even held his stomach and was about to roll on the grass.
"I am not, kidding you, Ian. Also, there were times that he would stop crying when I had him and he would smile at me charmingly. That's when my wife had to fetch him milk. Then, he would cry whenever she came back until she took him."
Terrence stopped from his story seeing Ian who rolled on the grass while laughing so loud. He frustratingly sighed and shook his head. He never expected Ian to react like this. Although the baby was acting a brat, he knew that Kal missed his mom and so was Violet. Ian stood up and patted his jacket to remove the dirt. He chuckled and smacked Terrence so hard.
"I have a happy one to tell Violet. Thanks, bro."
"That's not quite happy for us but it is hilarious." Terrence chuckled. Kal was a great baby and he made Maxine so happy.
The two make that handshake and Terrence waits for Ian to fly his chopper up. Then, he finally drove his car back to the mansion.
Ian arrived at the private villa that Rossie Empire recently purchased for this kind of event. After he landed, the pilot was already waiting for him and he turned over the chopper. He was somehow confident that they have this kind of Empire that supports them. They enjoy the luxury, high technology, and places that they can have on their own.
He went directly to the conference room where Viper and Violet were working on something. He sat down with a big grin while the two were busy.
"Vi, I delivered it." He said to get her attention. She stopped typing and looked up at him.
"What is it? How's my baby?"
Ian told them what happened as he added an exaggeration that made Viper roll on the floor from laughing. Violet was a little puzzled but she was happy.
"So, that's how your boy will grow up." Ian laughed.
"He was just exactly like his dad," Violet said happily.
"I can't believe that your baby would do such a thing." Viper said and climbed back to his seat. "Did he do that?" He asked Ian.
"Bro, if you could see Terrence's eyebags, you would know. He complained to me that he can't make love with Maxine properly because of how Kal acted. He was very much clingy toward Maxine and him."
Violet giggled. It was the first time that Ian saw her happy like that although she still felt lonely at the same time.
"Bull sent you the footage. You can watch it if you want."
"I will do it later." Violet tapped on her computer and then turned it to him. "These are the files that we took from them. And it's a lot…"
He went through it and frowned. So, he quickly called Gena. Shortly, Gena came with a tablet in her hand.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Can you please scan through these files? I think the Charles Empire knows the password of your company and it'll be easy for them to have access to other things including the bank account of the company."
"What~~what should we do?" She asked quickly.
"Permit us and it'll be easy for us to protect your privacy and change every password. I think you need to temporarily shut down and freeze all of the systems for two hours." Viper said.
"Okay," Gena said after hesitating.
"We won't do anything stupid," Ian said to comfort her. Gena sat down and gave them other details that they needed.
Viper and Violet started typing fast.
"It will be alright." Ian comforted Gena.
"Alex and I had sleepless nights just to figure things out. I want the company to be well for my daughter to rule. Even Tracey was working hard to get back on track."
"But you and Alex did well to clean it up." Ian said as he scanned through the files."
"I already sent out the virus to Franko Charles's company," Violet said. "It will take twenty-four hours for them to clean it up and it's one way for them not to clean up their server. They won't be able to retrieve any data from what your ex-husband gave."
"That's great," Gena said as she still felt a little worried. She didn't touch her tablet since they are doing everything to save her company. "I will prepare snacks, what would you like?" She asked them.
"Ice coffee." Viper and Violet said at the same time.
"With whipped cream?" She asked them.
"Yes, please." They said again at the same time.
Gena smiled and nodded her head. It's also one way she did to work well. Iced coffee with whipped cream to keep her awake. She had it twice a day and she worked as a machine all day.
"How about you, Ian?" Gena asked.
"I will also have one, mom. Thanks."
"Sure," Gena patted him.
Ian reached Gena's tablet since she permitted him to check on it, Gena let him.
He was going through a little data when he came across a popped-up conversation between her and her husband. He happened to open it and it was full of curses from Gena and she threatened to sue him. The man didn't even care that's why Gena already had it processed to sue her ex-husband for selling off their adult daughter. He removed the bubble and dragged it down.
"I am quite surprised that you could call her mom," Violet said. "After you act like an adult-like them."
Ian smiled at her.
"Why can't I? I am not too old or too young."
"Whatever," Violet grumbled and continued typing.
"Their system isn't that great at all." Viper said. "I think we need to tell Gena to make her invest in a stronger one. That's why it's easy for the Charles Empire to peek through it. But it's a good thing that Gena seemed to know how to keep confidential files away."
"But it is still a threat as some of it were invaded. Anytime, they could hire a false whistleblower to bomb them out." Violet said.
"Damn it." Ian put away the tablet. "Can't you make a system for them? I will pay for it. I am willing to invest in that."
"Really?" Viper grinned. "That would cost one million pesos."
"Done," Ian said without thinking of other consequences.
"I will put bundles on it~~" Violet smacked Viper's head.
"Back on the game. They are trying to attack."
Viper quickly gets back on typing but Ian will have it in mind that these two were willing to make a new system. Protective than before. Just as Tracey told Ian last time that their IT wasn't that good at all since her father didn't invest much into it. Now, files were leaked and they will be done for good if this continues.
Shortly, Gena came with snacks and iced coffees in fancy tall cups with straws.
"I will check on my bride." Ian stood and took his iced coffee and left the conference room. He sipped on the coffee and looked around to check on wherever his bride-to-be goes.
"Ian!" Tracey rushed to him and he lifted the coffee so she wouldn't bump into it when she quickly wrapped her arms around his waist. He patted her head with his free hand and kissed it. "I missed you." She pouted at him when she looked up and leaned her chin over his chest.
"Oh, don't give me those kitty eyes. I am quite tired, babe. I can't make love to you."
"No. I was just happy that everything was perfect." She giggled at him. "They set up a wooden jacuzzi for us and other stuff. I can't wait, babe."
He chuckled and hugged her.
"We will have to wait until they check out from their work."
"Jo and Connor are already here." She said and grinned at him. "We can check out our bedroom for a while."
He sipped on his coffee, unwrapped her arms, and held her hand. Quickly taking her to wherever their room was located.
