Chapter 950
Mira and Owen had been holed up in the study. Downstairs, Rachel had already called out several times, “Dinner is ready p>
At the dining table, with Grandma Eleanor present, all talk of Seraphina and Lawrence was strictly off-limits.
Meals were for lighthearted chatter, generally avoiding work topics.
But before dinner was over, Mira received a call from Sebastian. She glanced at it
and hung up.
Grandma Eleanor asked, “Who was that p>
“Just an irrelevant spam call p>
Mira replied.
“Grandma Eleanor, you wouldn’t believe how many scam calls there are these days.
If you aren’t careful, you’ll fall right into their traps with how smoothly they talk p>
“How do these bad people scam you over the phone p>
The old woman asked.
She wasn’t familiar with smartphones and couldn’t quite wrap her head around it.
“They’ll say someone in your family has been kidnapped and demand you wire money immediately, or they’ll kill the hostage.
Or they’ll claim you’ve won a huge prize and tell you to claim it fast p>
“Well, if they’re giving away a prize, just take it and see what they do next p>
Grandma Eleanor mused curiously.
Rachel chimed in, “Oh, absolutely do not talk to them! I’ve gotten those calls a few times.
Right when you try to claim the prize, they tell you there’s a processing fee you have to wire first. Once you wire the fee, they say they need more money for an identity verification check p>
They slowly drain you dry bit by bit, and then the number completely disconnects.” Grandma Eleanor listened, utterly stunned.
“If you hadn’t told me, I would have never known there were swindlers like that p>
Once Grandma Eleanor was reassured and dinner concluded, Mira and Owen headed back to the study to handle business.
Mira then unlocked her phone and tapped on the missed call.
“Spit it out, what do you want p>
Mira couldn’t even be bothered to call him Uncle Sebastian anymore. In many situations, being soft-hearted and cowardly was a sin in itself.
“Mira, how could you send Seraphina to the police station again? She’s already in such a pitiful state p>
Going by Sebastian’s tone, it sounded as if Mira was the unforgivable villain.
“Sebastian, can you use your brain for once? You spend your entire life being manipulated by Gwen p>
“Your Aunt Gwen came home and said p>
“Don’t even mention Aunt Gwen to me. You’ve spent half your life with her-do you seriously not know who
she is by now? You’re a growlboan
and you still swallow every word she says?
I honestly don’t know how you’ve managed to run the Quinn Group all these years.
You have zero critical thinking skills.
Do you really think I have so much free time that I’d just randomly lock your daughter up?
Sebastian, do you have any idea what my life is like?
I wish I could stretch every minute into two! Almost everyone in Aethelgard—no, the
entire country of Mavaria—knows how packed my schedule is.
Have you seriously never heard?
As long as people don’t cross me, I never go out of my way to start trouble.
But if I actually go to the trouble of putting someone behind bars, it’s because they maliciously plotted against me and are rotten to the core.
Let me tell you, if you keep letting Seraphina run wild, she won’t just be spending a few days in a cell.
She could be looking at eight to ten years, or even a life sentence.
I’m telling you the absolute truth; I don’t have the time to fear-monger p>
The mobile OS project at Solflare Entertainment wasn’t just a corporate venture for Solflare and Vanguard Systems; it was a critical
national initiative.

Currently, the government had already greenlit massive funding and policy support.
Until Aegis OS was successfully developed, the project remained strictly classified. Therefore, by leaking the details to Javenaire, Lawrence and his group had unequivocally leaked state secrets.
