Chapter 404 - So, Why Should I?

"Rob, what's going on?" Lady Zhao inquired noticing the strange yet proud smile on her husband's face.

Lord Knightley continues to stay silent and smile about what was happening.

"Winston, what happened?" Elder Lord Knightley inquired noticing his son seems to have lost himself in his thought and would not utter any words.

"The Young Princess has figured out that we were tracking her down, she'd access our system and now trying to break it down," Winston explain.

"What do you mean to break it down?" Elder Lady Knightley confusedly looked at him not being able to grasp the information he was trying to explain to them.

"Your precious granddaughter has hacked into the system and is probably planning to shut it down so that we won't be able to track her down." Lord Knightley explained in simple words seeing his mother and wife seems to be unable to understand the situation.

Elder Lady Knightley was shocked, "What?"

Lady Zhao too was dumbfounded as she realizes how amazing her daughter is yet frightening. "What should we do?"

"Hmm nothing…" Elder Lord Knightley sighs heavily as he spoke the words his son would say.

"Are you out of your mind, if we do nothing how will we know if Elizabeth is fine?" Elder Lady Knightley was upset as she raised her voice at her husband and frowned furiously at him. She has agreed to not get involved and allow both father and son to handle the situation. She has also asked the royal family to stop with the investigation and not get involved as well.

"I have allowed you both to take charge of this for my granddaughter's sake for I want her to recall all her lost memories and hope that she'll be able to live a better life so. However, right now her life is in danger and you won't do anything. Have you lost your mind?"

"I only said those words for your son will answer you that way. It's best I say it now than he put us all in circles. You know how your son thinks." Elder Lord Knightley averted his gaze away from his wife upset that she was thinking so badly of him when he only answered how their son would answer.

"So, you agree with your son then?" Elder Lady Knightley brow raised up in the air stating that she was on the point of exploding which means cold war between them.

Elder Lord Knightley cleared his throat first before he could answer his wife, he gathers all the necessary words to calm her down. As he was about to answer, the door slam opens once again…

"What wrong?" He said.

"Sir, She've shut down one of our systems already and has blocked our access to the main system."

One of Winston's assistance coming running in with the bad news and was cover in heavy sweat from all the stress and running.

"My Lord…" Winston turned for some answer but already saw the answer to his question. "Tell everyone to stop what they're doing and let the Young Princess do her thing. Monitor everything and make sure it won't affect any of the companies daily activity."

"Sir?" The assistant look bewildered as to what he was to do. They were to allow the Young Princess access and take down the system yet make sure all daily and necessary activities in the company run smoothly. How was that even possible when she's shutting down the system.

"Just explain to everyone what I said. Allow the Young Princess with what she doing, just make sure all company related matters aren't affected by what she's doing." Winston repeated his order.

"But…"

"Just create a backup system for now…" Winston frowned desperately in need of some fresh air as he felt his head aching from the stress and how idiotic his assistant could be and not understand what action they must do.

"At once."

The assistant left in a hurry and even forgot to acknowledge his master's presence.

"My Lord, forgive him…" Winston apologizes in behalf of his assistant who has vanished in front of them in a flash.

"Ha-ha, who would have thought my daughter could be this clever and dare challenge his own father's company. I wonder how she realizes that we are tracking her down?" Lady Zhao chuckled as she decided to ignore the fact her daughter's life is in danger and trust fate that she'll be fine.

"Child, what are you talking about?" Elder Lady Zhao was taken aback by how everyone seems to be unbothered by everything and has decided to allow fate to decide how the girl will take course of her life.

"Mother, even if we send someone to protect her she'll find a way to run away from them or worse, she'll beat them all up and send them to the hospital. Seeing she is able to do so, I believe she'll be able to handle herself. Someone is helping her and I guess all I can do now is pray that my daughter will one day return to me."

Lady Zhao spoke from her heart as she forces herself not to show any emotion. She had this serious and calm expression all over her face but her husband could see how much tears she was shedding inside.

"Child?" Elder Lady Knightley continues to be bothered by the situation.

"Let it be, it was you who asked for her memory to be restore, so it's better you argue with us or we get Lizzy back her and removed all her memories again?"

Elder Lady Knightley was speechless with his son determined suggestion. Of course, she wishes for her granddaughter to recover everything, meaning she had no choice but to agree with them all. "Then I pray to thy almighty One that she will one day come home to us and that even if she has recovered her memory she'll continue to be our Lizzy."

Everyone did not comment on what Elder Lady Knightley has to say and only had this agreeing look on their face.

At the same time, Elizabeth has finally cracked the different layer of shell her father company has. She has access to even company databases, giving her access to very important company information and future plans.

"Hmm, so dad plans to collaborate with the Feng because of the engagement."

"Really?" Jo became interested and went closer to the girl and check out all the precious information she has access to.

"What the heck, your father's company is earning that much just from the small business company his collaborated with. Isn't your father a…."

Jo choked on his words when he notices one of the girl's brows raised in the air. "Anyways, what are you doing?"

"I'm trying to use this to bypass the Knightley family system I'm sure father place another system in which will grant me access to disable the tracking system they implanted on me," Elizabeth explains while she continues to focus on what she was doing.

"Once you do that what's next?" Jo inquired.

"Easy, we leave…" Elizabeth responded in simple words yet with so many meanings to it.

"Just like that, you'll disappear?" He asked.

"What's wrong with it?" She was dumbfounded as to why Jo seems to be bothered about it.

"Aren't you worried about them?"

"They aren't worried about me, so why should I?"
