Chapter 1360 They Would Be at a Disadvantage
"Where are you now?" The tone on the other end of the call was not friendly. Nina was nervous whenshe heard that.
The other person was Percy’s mother and the matriarch of the Mallory family. It was not the first timethat she had called Nina on the phone, but there must be a reason why she was calling Nina today.
"I'm on my way to work, Mrs. Mallory. Is there anything?" Nina answered as she opened the car door.
"That's 'Madam' for you, Nina. I want to talk to you about something. When are you free?"
Nina smirked self-deprecatingly. Should she feel honored that Mrs. Mallory wanted to meet her at herconvenience?
That was such a respectful gesture!
Nina knew very well why Mrs. Mallory wanted to meet her." How about noon today? I have some freetime during lunch.
Mrs. Mallory replied, "Alright, noon it is. We'll meet at the restaurant under your office."
"Yes, Madam." After Nina gave her reply, the other party ended the call. She chuckled dryly as shelistened to the busy tone on the phone.
Jean, Mrs. Mallory... everyone was looking for trouble with her.
Nina started the car and drove out of the mansion. She did not plan to tell Percy that his mother wantedto meet her.
Secretly, she hoped that Mrs. Mallory would intervene and end the relationship between Percy and her.
Percy brought a man named Adrian Daley to T Corporation. Before they could identify themselves, thereceptionist brought them to the guest lounge.
Luke came into the lounge, and Jason followed behind him, carrying a laptop in each of his hands.
Percy stood up and introduced the man next to him. "Adrian, this is Mr. Luke Crawford. Mr. Crawford,this is Adrian Daley. He's a genius at computers."
"Nice to meet you." Luke shook hands with Adrian.
Adrian adjusted his glasses slightly and said, "Mr. Mallory has told me what happened. You want totrack down the attacker's IP address, right?"
"Yes. My IT department said that there's no way of tracking them down, so I'd like to trouble you to dothat for me," Luke said. He waved his hand, and Jason placed the laptops in front of Adrian.
"If the attacker terminated the connection immediately after the alarm was raised, then it'll be verydifficult to track them down. I can still give it a try, but if I can't track them down, I don't think anyoneelse in the world would be able to," Adrian said. He turned on the laptops and found that they werealready connected to T Corporation's internal network.
"Thank you," Luke said. The IT department had identified several flaws in the network security systemafter the attack, and they were busy repairing them. Luke did not hope that they would be able toidentify the attacker.
"Don't mention it," Adrian said as he went to work.
Tina knocked on the door and came in carrying a tray with a few cups of coffee on it. She smiled gentlyand placed the cups on the table.
As Adrian typed deftly on the keyboard, Percy stood up and said, "Adrian doesn't like any distractionswhenever he's at work. Let's go somewhere else. I also have something to discuss with you."
Luke nodded, and the three people left the guest lounge.
Percy went into the CEO's office, sat down on the couch, and crossed his legs. "Your company networkhas been attacked for two consecutive weeks. Why are you so unlucky?" He said teasingly.novelbin
Luke did not reply to the question. He was deep in thought.
Cleaning up the mess left at the subsidiary company in New York was relatively easy. However, thehead office was the one under attack this time. If the attackers had gained access to their top-secretdocuments, dealing with the fallout of the attack would make Luke very busy for a while.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Why do you think they're attacking you? Is it for financial gain?"Percy said.
"I don't know," Luke shook his head and said. That was the truth because he had no idea who wasattacking him.
The attack on the New York subsidiary company had taken them by surprise, but they managed tocorrect the mistakes in time. The attackers would have no use for the stolen information because Lukechanged the company directives after he realized that the documents were leaked. The top- secretdocuments in the attacker's hands were nothing more than trash.
This time, the attacker had alerted the IT department to the attack. Even if they managed to gain sometop-secret information, they would not be able to capitalize on it.
No hacker would be so stupid as to peddle useless information.
Percy frowned, thinking that whatever was happening to T Corporation was a cause for worry. TCorporation had grown steadily over the past few years, and no other company dared to offend them.
Now that T Corporation was under attack, it signified the fact that someone might be planning to makea move on the other corporations. Percy could not afford to keep his guard down.
"There's something that I have to tell you," Luke said as he stared at Percy.
"What is it?" Percy said as he reclined on the couch.
"Bianca is an impostor." Luke did not beat around the bush.
"What? What do you mean?" Percy did not understand." She's an impostor?"
"Exactly. Someone has impersonated her," Luke said and took a sip of coffee.
"Didn't they perform a DNA test on her?" Percy could only find it unbelievable.
"Someone swapped the test samples. A while ago, Lanie and Rainie performed another DNA testbehind my back. Also, when Bianca was hospitalized earlier, she took a blood test, and the blood typesdid not match," Luke explained.
Percy's eyes widened. "Who could have done it? They gave you a fake wife!"
Luke glanced at him coldly and continued, "It's the Island of Despair. We found a tattoo on the impostorBianca's body. That's the proof."
"Didn't we wipe out the Island of Despair a few years back? Why would..." Percy thought that there wasmore to the incident. "Also, haven't you been keeping an eye on things for the past few years? Howcould they..."
Luke sent a photo of the tattoo on Bianca's back to Percy." The tattoo is slightly different from theoriginal one, but the shape is roughly the same. It shows that someone has rebuilt the Island ofDespair. Judging from the similarity to the original symbol, it also shows that the person is very close toRobert."
Percy looked at the photo on his phone and sank deep in thought...
"If the Island of Despair still exists, where could their base of operations be? Could they be behind thetwo attacks too?"
"We'll only know after we identify the IP addresses," Luke said grimly.
Percy could understand why Luke was feeling that way. If the attacks were indeed conducted by theIsland of Despair, it meant that they had been operating in secret. Luke and Percy did not know whatthey were planning and would be at a disadvantage.
Things were not looking great...
