Chapter 21 Who Touched My Computer?
North nodded his head and exclaimed, “It hurts!”
Olivia was baffled. “Why on earth did you give him my phone?” she berated.
He inquired, “Didn’t you want to, Mommy?”
She stared straight at him without batting an eye and asserted, “You did that on purpose!”
“Why don’t you want to be friends with him, Mommy?”
With a straight face, she said, “Because we’re not close.”
His brows furrowed tightly together. “Haven’t you met him several times before?”
She said in a stern voice, “That doesn’t automatically make us friends.”
“But he even helped you earlier.”
“I could’ve dealt with it myself even if he hadn’t been there.”
Stubbornly, he pressed, “You said we have to thank people who help us. You’re being a little ungrateful

“How am I being ungrateful? Didn’t I invite him in for tea? I gave him fruits too.”
North was speechless.

Anna did not get much sleep last night. The thought of Hugo going around defending Olivia made her
blood boil. When she woke up early in the morning, the room was still empty. She became even more
furious. Who would have thought that he would stay out overnight? But she did not want to call him.
Their relationship had long since succumbed to the seven-year itch. If it were not because the Gray
Family was beneficial to the Maxwell Family’s business, she would have divorced him a long time ago.
Getting up, she tidied herself a bit then went off to her studio. As soon as she entered, her female
assistant, Sarah Wheeler, greeted, “Miss Anna.”
Anna returned her greeting with a murmur then asked, “How were things yesterday?”
Sarah shook her head. “There wasn’t a single person.”
Anna stopped in her tracks. “Didn’t the C-list celebrity from last time show interest in one of our
dresses? Did she not come over?”
“I gave her a call, but she already booked one at a different store. She said our dresses are overpriced
and there’s no originality in our designs. She went on about a lot of other things too.”
Anna snorted. “She’s merely a C-list celebrity and she wants to look down on our designs? Just wait
until I get a rank on the upcoming major contest. What can they say then?” She opened her fashion
studio two years ago, but it never took off. She figured that it was due to the lack of recognition from a
public icon.
Therefore, she decided to compete in the upcoming 2019 Eccentric Fashion design contest. The final
judge for this major contest was rumored to be the world-renowned fashion designer, Angel. If Anna
managed to gain her approval, then she would ultimately rise to stardom. The popularity of her studio
would also follow suit. Nowadays, few people looked at designs; most people cared more about
popularity.

Sarah echoed, “Yes, they will be kicking themselves when the time comes. Oh, right! Miss Anna, how is
the piece for the contest coming along? There are only a few more days left before the closing date.”
Anna answered nonchalantly, “It’s almost done. I’ll polish it up a bit more today.” In fact, she had
already completed the first draft. She just felt like it was missing something so she kept fixing bits and
pieces here and there.
Going into her office, Anna turned on her computer and entered her password. After she logged in, she
looked for the folder where her design was saved only to realize that it was gone. Her eyes widened.
She logged out and logged back in, only for the file to remain missing. Then, she went online to look for
it in the cloud, but it was not there either. Flustered, she shrieked at the door, “Sarah! Sarah!”
Sarah came running in. “What’s wrong, Miss Anna?”
With one hand, Anna pushed over a pile of documents. “Who touched my computer?”
Sarah started backing out in fear. “I didn’t touch it, Miss Anna. Don’t you have a password on your
computer? Who could’ve gone in?”
Anna was also dumbfounded because of that. She set up several different passwords on her computer.
How did everything disappear overnight?
