Chapter 363
Darren’s reaction made Leanna tremble. She felt that something bad would happen.
Darren hung up the phone in a daze and he looked bewildered.
Leanna hurriedly asked with concern, “Darren, what’s wrong?”
Darren didn’t know how to get his voice back but he said, “Theodore and Vincent’s companies were attacked and many multinational business partners stopped cooperating with them.”
His two sons controlled the economic lifeline of Zosteylor. Now that their companies were attacked and their business partners withdrew their investment and cancelled cooperating with them, which meant that Zosteylor’s economy would be hurt and even a national financial crisis was possible.
Then all their effort would be in vain.
Hearing this, Leanna almost lost her balance.
She couldn’t believe it. The companies had been attacked so she was worried about those top–secret documents.
Leanna asked nervously, “Have you found out who did it?” She wanted to find out who was behind this. It was about Zosteylor’s economy so she must be careful.
Darren’s face darkened and his eyes were filled with mysterious emotions. “Not yet. I only know that they have a powerful background and even we can’t track them. down.
He taught Vincent hacking skills so he knew very well how good Vincent was. Although Theodore did not rank among the top three hackers, he ranked among the top five at least. Although Theodore’s hacking skills were not as good as Vincent’s, he was brilliant enough.
Darren wondered who could break through the defense system set up by Vincent and Theodore and stay there calmly for half an hour to publish all the secret documents.
Multinational companies canceled cooperation projects with them one after another and each of them was worth dozens of billions of dollars. Now they were all gone, they not only had to handle the liquidated damages but also were on the verge of bankruptcy.

Chapter 363
It happened overnight. Darren wondered who on earth was attacking them.
He wondered who was taking revenge on them.
Leanna asked, “What should we do now?” Even Harper was a little frightened.
It was absolutely not a trivial matter that Denzel and Devin’s companies were in danger.
Darren said, “Leanna, we have to go back now. Zosteylor is more important.” In other words, companies related to the national economy were more important.
Leanna didn’t want anything but to go back home right away. “Okay, okay. We’ll leave now.”
Her country had just had a war. If its economy was also in danger, what would happen to it in the future? It was originally a prosperous country and she couldn’t allow it to be destroyed during her reign.
Harper said casually, “We’ll leave Cassie alone?”
The two, who were about to leave, were stunned and stopped walking.
“Harper, I want to do what a mother should do too but now…” Leanna felt a little embarrassed. “I have to prioritize everything.”
Harper couldn’t believe what his parents were about to do. “So, are you going to abandon her again?”
he wondered if they really felt guilty in the past years.
They chose other things over Cassandra and left her alone over and over again.
Leanna was silent.
Darren said in a deep voice, “We’re just going back to solve the problem. When it is done, we will come back and take your sister home.”
He thought it didn’t matter that his father did not understand him. As long as Cassandra was his daughter, she would come back to them sooner or later.
Harper looked at his parents in front of him and thought they were like ers.
He shook his head in disbelief. “You take everything for granted! What makes you think Cassie will go back with you? The so–called blood relationship? When you abandoned her, you didn’t even want to stay with her for one more minute. You caused her tragedy. She grew up without a family. And now you’re asking her to

forgive you! What are you thinking about?
“Do you know what she’s been through? Why do you take everything for granted? It is us who hurt Cassie the most and it is you who abandoned her repeatedly.”
Harper turned to Darren, disappointed, “Dad, you made a deal with Cassie to save Mom and me. Why don’t you admit it now? You chose Mom and me over her. You abandoned her again. In Whitecrane Hall, when Mom passed out, you were the first one to blame it on Cassie. Oh, I did it, too. I am a monster.”
He looked at Leanna again and said in a choked voice, “I don’t know what Cassie did to me or Kenneth did to me. All I know is that Mom, your slap has completely pushed Cassie away from us. You do not deserve to see her again, let alone ask her to go back to us.”
Harper had been putting up with it for too long. Last time, at Whitecrane Hall, he was in a hurry and his subconscious reaction probably had hurt Cassandra. He couldn’t imagine how disappointed she was with them.
Now, with a slap, everything was ruined.
Leanna said coldly and aggressively, “Harper, Cassie has gone bad with Kenneth. She is an excellent child and she can’t be ruined by Kenneth.”
She thought, ‘Cassie is my child and she is outstanding. She should come back to me and I will educate her. In the future, she will either inherit my brother’s company or my throne. That is what she deserves. She cannot be influenced by Kenneth in a bad way.’
Harper gave a sarcastic smile and said, “Mom, what did she do to make you think she had done it? Have you ever trusted her or asked her about it? You don’t treat her as your child, but a stranger, whom you never trusted at all.”
If Cassandra wanted to do it, she would do it straightforwardly like how she did it at Whitecrane Hall, instead of playing a dirty trick in a secret place.
Leanna was a little unsure that her son really didn’t believe her. She said, “You don’t believe me?”
“Do you
believe Cassie?” Harper said coldly, “At least I remember I was not hurt by her. I believe Dad thinks the same.”
Darren didn’t say anything but basically, he agreed with what Harper just said silently. He did not remember anything at all.
Chapter 263
Leanna was desperate. She looked depressed. “You two don’t believe me? Who the hell do you think am 1 doing this for? But you don’t believe me?”
Leanna was so angry that she wanted to leave now. She thought, ‘What’s going on with them? They told me that they were frightened by Kenneth. Who else could make Kenneth do this to them except Cassandra?
But now, they think it is my fault as if they had said nothing.
“Leanna, I think Harper is right.” Darren took Leanna’s hand and said in a deep voice. “We should go find Cassie and explain what is going on to her before leaving.
