Chapter 396 Hacking Their Surveillance Cameras
Benjamin glanced at Arissa and said indifferently, “Even selling you won’t be enough to cover the compensation.”
Arissa was bursting with fury. “If it weren’t for you… I wouldn’t have dropped it!”
“What did I do?” Benjamin raised his eyebrows intimidatingly.
Arissa froze for a moment.
She pushed him away furiously and went to stand at the side. At the same time, she was angry with herself.
How could I let myself be distracted by his good looks?
Benjamin looked at her indignant expression from the corner of his eyes. His eyes glinted with amusement.
Then, he put the ornament back to its position.
“Why did you call me here?” Arissa reminded Benjamin when she saw him arranging his things with no inclination to speak.
Benjamin turned to her. “Did you teach Zachary and the other children hacking skills?”
Arissa was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect him to bring this up.
“Yes!” She nodded in response.
Her children followed her around since they were little and learned by observing what she did. Furthermore, they liked programming, so she taught them.
To her surprise, her children showed superb talent in it, and their skills now surpassed hers.
Since Benjamin found out about their hacking skills, there was no point hiding them from him.
“You taught them well!” Benjamin praised suddenly, prompting Arissa to look at him in shock.
However, he began criticizing her right after that. “It is right to teach some skills, but it is wrong to teach them bad behaviors!”
Arissa knew that he was blaming her. She thought he was accusing her of allowing the children to hack into his surveillance cameras.
“I didn’t know the children hacked into your surveillance cameras.” Arissa felt indignant about his wrongful accusation. “Furthermore, they are your children, so isn’t this their home too? What’s wrong with hacking into the surveillance cameras in their home to find something? Is that against the law?”
Benjamin remained calm as he looked at Arissa’s furious expression.
He liked that she called this place ‘home.’
“I didn’t say that they broke the law. They can check the surveillance records any time they want,” Benjamin answered without a hint of anger.
Arissa was stunned before asking, “What were you talking about then?”
Benjamin looked at her with an ambiguous smile. “Why are you agitated?”
Arissa replied indignantly, “Weren’t you blaming me for misguiding the children?”
How dare he denies it now?
Benjamin answered, “What I wanted to say was you should not lie before the children. Now, Gavin learned to lie too!”
Arissa had a stunned expression.
After a moment, she glared at Benjamin and retorted, “When did I lie before the children?”
Benjamin furrowed his brow. Does this mean that she only lied before me?
Arissa became stern as she glared at Benjamin. “Even if I said something wrong, it was for the sake of our children.”
Benjamin’s expression turned solemn. “You lied to me many times!”
Arissa was rendered speechless. He is bringing this up again.
“Is there anyone who has never told a lie? Have you never lied before? Do you dare to swear that you have never told a lie?” Arissa replied.
Her answer rendered him speechless.
“What lie did Gavin say? Why are you finding fault with me? Since he grew up with you, doesn’t that mean he learned to lie from you?” Arissa continued furiously.
Benjamin raised Gavin, so Gavin shared the same mannerism and character as him. I didn’t spend much time with Gavin, so how can I influence him? Even if he learned to lie, I don’t find anything wrong with that. Sometimes, a lie doesn’t hurt anyone but lessens the potential damage.
“I caught them red-handed, but they still denied that they did it!” Benjamin groaned softly.
Arissa glanced at him and could not resist rolling her eyes. “The children were scared because you were too strict. Who would dare to tell the truth in their position? Didn’t they all tell the truth after I asked them?”
Benjamin frowned at her response.
Is she happy that the children listened to her?
“Isn’t it wrong for the children to lie?” Benjamin replied unhappily.
Arissa did not wish to continue arguing with him. “It is wrong for the children to lie!”
Benjamin was stumped.
