Chapter 328 Loose Threat
No matter what her birth dad was like, Zora wanted nothing to do with him.
Leaving everything alone was the best choice.
Good or bad, that man’s life had no connection to hers.
ន…
It had been years and years. He was probably married with kids and a stable life now. If she showed up out of the blue, she’d only mess everything up for him.

Zora was happy with her life right now. She didn’t care about finding her biological father at all.
“Okay.” Leighton didn’t push her when he heard her decision.
Only rich and powerful people could book the top-floor hotel room Wayne had reserved all those years ago. Her birth father was definitely someone important.
But if Zora didn’t want to find him, no one would force her.
“Don’t eat too many pastries. I’m gonna make dinner p>
Leighton watched her keep shoving small pastries in her mouth one after another.
“I know.” Zora nodded and behaved herself.
Right after Leighton walked into the kitchen, his phone rang.
He looked down and saw it was Tristan.
“Hello p>

“Mr. Pierce! I finally figured out who Ms. Hale’s classmate looks like!” Tristan said quickly over the phone.
“Oh?” Leighton kept sorting vegetable leaves as he listened.
“Do you remember who taught you to code p>
“You mean Kim p>
At the mention of the coding, Leighton knew exactly who he meant.
He’d found Kim wandering the streets overseas two years ago.
Kim was a genius hacker, but he had amnesia. He had no clue where he was from or what his real name was.

Leighton took him in, fixed him up, and let him work for him.
Kim taught him everything about programming. After two months, he had nothing left to teach, so he traveled around the world aimlessly.

The staff who looked after him said Kim was always searching for someone, but he never knew who exactly he was looking for.
Leighton hadn’t seen him since then, which was why he hadn’t made the connection sooner.
“Ms. Cole’s eyes are exactly like Kim’s. They look identical. Right now, Kim’s in Mevoria searching for someone.
“I think he’s looking for his family. And Ms. Cole grew up without a dad, in a single-parent home p>
“I’ll ask her about it later. Send people to watch over Kim and keep him safe p>
Leighton got what Tristan was hinting at-they might be family. But it was just a guess. Kim was overseas with amnesia, and Maya was here in the country. There were too many unknowns.
He needed to talk to Maya first to confirm everything.
“By the way, did you catch the hacker who attacked our company before?” Leighton asked suddenly.
“Not yet. That guy covers his tracks perfectly. All evidence gets wiped the second he stops an attack. Our guys traced him to Seacrest.
“We’re still looking into it.

“He’s been super active lately. First he leaked the Hale family’s data, then the Knox family’s private files. Our team confirmed his hacking style is exactly the same as the one used on our company before.
“It’s like he’s copying our every move, like he’s getting revenge for someone p>
Tristan explained the whole situation.
Right after they dealt with the Hale family, the Hale family’s data got leaked. The exact same thing happened to the Knox family right after they took care of them.
The hacker’s goal was obvious-he wanted to teach them a lesson.
Things kept happening one after another, and outsiders would think they were the ones causing all the trouble.
They only did what they did to protect Zora. So who was this hacker trying to avenge? Could he

be doing all this for Zora too?
“Stop the investigation. I already know who he is p>
“Wait… could it be…” Tristan had a faint idea as well.
He remembered Leighton saying the hacker’s style felt weirdly familiar.

“You refused to rest more at home. You used to hate school. Why are you so eager to go back all of a sudden p>
Leighton asked while driving Zora to school.
“I’m totally healed now. If I stay home longer, I’ll get lazy and useless. School’s really important right now, so I need to study hard p>
Zora sat in the car, checking her backpack to make sure she didn’t forget anything.
While she was out of school, Maya and their classmates brought her all her homework and test
papers.
She also kept up with all her classes with a private tutor at home.
Zora had never studied this hard before. She didn’t slack off at all.
“I’ll cook you something good for dinner. Don’t carry anything heavy at school, okay p>
Leighton parked the car and gently pinched her cheek.
“Okay p>
Zora nodded obediently, then got out of the car.
Leighton stayed in the car and watched her walk into the school, ready to drive off.
Suddenly, his phone rang. The ringtone sounded urgent.
He checked the screen-it was Jensen.
“What’s wrong p>
“Wayne’s missing. He’s desperate now and might go after Zora. Keep a close eye on her. I’ll send people to protect her secretly p>
