Marco suddenly spoke before Loraine could even respond. “Qbot!”
A flash cfrom the entrance guard's Light, and Qbot conline. Its tone was elusive as it said, “I'm here,
Daddy.”
Marco's face went dark. “This is how you use the authority | gave you?
You're growing more disobedient by the minute! Cancel Qbot’s authority and cut off its connection to the internet
for a week!”
Everyone's eyes widened in shock as they heard this

Marcel treated Qbot well as though it was his grandson. He said anxiously, “How can | do that? It's way too
cruel!”
Loraine felt worried as well as she saw their reactions. She as well felt the punishment was too harsh for Qbot.
“Don’t worry about it, Marco, It's not like anything happened.”
Qbot, however, was stubborn.

“I'm fine, Mommy. Let Daddy punishas much as he wants! | will always be on Mommy's side! If Daddy fails
to apologize, I'll be leaving with Mommy!”
Bryant Group's employees were shocked once more.
One major difference between Qbot and other artificial intelligence was that Qbot possessed free will and had its
own complex thoughts.
It was a program and didn’t have a physical body. So the moment Qbot was connected to the internet, it would
be able to freely move on its own through the internet. Bryant Group would be at a great loss if it truly ran away
with Loraine in a fit of anger.
With this in mind, Marcel stepped out of the Lab and made a phone call.
Marco felt helpless at Qbot’s rebellion. He truly did not understand what was making it so stubborn.

Loraine felt helpless too.
She couldn't take Qbot away, of course. However, it was throwing a tantrum. The only thing she could do was try
to calm it down. “Qbot, listen to your daddy, okay?”
Qbot, however, responded with a question.
“Have you forgiven Daddy? If you haven't, then | won't either!”
Marco turned to Loraine as he heard this, eager to know the answer as well.
Loraine choked at the question. She opened her mouth, but no words cout.
She had expected the answer to be simple for her, however, having to answer made her realize it was not.
How could she so easily let go of the pain their marriage had brought her in the past three years?
