Chapter 399 The Rich Boy

• As Hayden heard Nicole's words, he looked up and gazed at her for a while before he confessed, "I was afraid you wouldn't like what I was doing."
• Nicole let out a sigh and slowly sat down beside Hayden. She then wrapped her arms around her son and caressed his head, explaining seriously, "Of course, I won't interfere with what you like doing, Hayden, but at your age, I'm worried that you may not be careful enough to foresee the consequences that follow your actions. So, if you let me know ahead, I could at least do something to back you up should anything go wrong."
• Upon hearing his mother's clarification, Hayden was overwhelmed by his guilt. In fact, the reason he had been keeping Nicole in the dark about his identity as a hacker was that the assignments that he had been working with involved confidential intel, which was enough to spark a gang war in the underworld. Therefore, one wrong move could invite disasters that cost a life.
