A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love

Nathaniel figured that he should not waste anymore time and picked George up from the floor, surprising Hesper. She never expected him to be so powerful despite having a frail appearance. "See you next time, Hesper," he said as he walked out the door. Renee quickly walked in and checked if Hesper was injured. Seeing that she seemed to be fine, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Where's George?" Renee asked.

Hesper shook her head and said thoughtfully, "There's no need to chase after them. We won't be able to catch up."

Although she was disappointed that the evidence she had obtained was taken away, Hesper did not give up. "Let's search here first. Judging from how cunning George is, I don't think he'd leave himself without a way out."

"Okay." Hesper and Renee split up to look for more evidence. However, there were no documents in the office, so Hesper turned her attention toward the laptop on the table.

Renee also looked over and frowned. "I heard that Daybreak has someone who's an expert in information technology. I'm afraid they've already deleted everything."

"Let's take it back first and have a look," Hesper said, picking up the laptop from the desk. "Let's leave this sh*thole first. The phone signal seems to have been restored."

Renee looked down at her phone and saw that the signal had indeed been restored. Isaac had sent many messages, and the last one was two minutes ago, saying that he had arrived at the door.

In the next second, Isaac appeared downstairs, calling out Hesper and Renee's name loudly. "We're here!"

Hesper waved her hand, and Isaac breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that they were both unharmed. Rushing up the stairs, he asked, "I was so worried when I received the message... Are you guys okay?" "We're fine. It was Nathaniel," Hesper responded, shaking her head. She had a mixed expression as she added, "Let's head back for now. Don't tell Matt what happened today. I know what I'm doing. I don't want him to worry."

"Sure."

Holding the laptop in her arms, Hesper arrived at the hospital. While she knew it was not ideal to seek Renfrew's help in this situation, she could not think of anyone else who could recover the data on the laptop that Myriade had deleted. Neither the technicians at Lane Holdings nor the Duval Groups could do it.

Despite his deteriorating health, Renfrew appeared spirited when Hesper made her request. He nodded and said, "I'll give it a shot. Let me take a look first, Mommy."

After Hesper handed him the laptop, Renfrew examined it intently. He initially nodded, but then shook his head. "The data had been deleted thoroughly. Although I'm familiar with Myriade's techniques, there's no way to recover the deleted files."

Hesper felt disheartened. Then, Renfrew added, "However, I noticed some traces of file transfers in these documents. There should be a backup of these files on a USB drive."

USB drive!

Hesper took a metal USB drive from her pocket and said, "This USB drive fell off from George. Let's take a look."
