Ch. 2106..2110: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2106-2110

Chapter 2106

“Yep, everything’s fine,” Nicole smiled warmly, knowing that Lulu was concerned.

“I thought so too. Although Preston is Raine’s brother, he has treated you quite well during your school days,” Lulu stuck her tongue out.

She was worried for a moment because of everything that had happened recently involving Raine and the branch company’s stock price fluctuations.

Nicole chuckled. She could feel that Preston meant no harm, as he did help her and Nolan.

“Well, if there’s nothing wrong, I’ll get back to work,” Lulu said.

“Go ahead.”

Lulu closed the door and left, leaving Nicole back in her office to get busy with her busy work.

Soon, it was time to get off work. When Nicole came out of the company building, Jared was already there waiting for her.

“Preston was here,” Jared said candidly when he saw Nicole.

“How did you know?” Nicole asked in surprise, wondering if Jared had arranged a spy to stay on her side.

“I know Nolan got into trouble,” Jared said with a hint of contempt in his words, but the expression on his face did not indicate any displeasure otherwise.

Nicole figured that Jared had learned about the incident involving both Dillion’s and Damien’s company. With Jared’s keen eye and intellect, it was expected that he had discovered what Nolan had done. And

to add to that, Preston’s action thereafter did not escape his notice either.

“Yep. Preston has solved it already,” Nicole briefly explained.

Then, Jared held Nicole’s hand and said in a soft tone,” Don’t worry. It’ll be fine.”

Jared would not let any one of them get her into trouble. Even if Preston did not manage to work things out, Jared would step in to take care of the fallout either way.

After all had been stated, Nicole looked at Jared, the corner of her lips curving upwards. It seemed to her that everyone was not surprised about what Nolan had done.

After they had both buckled up, Jared drove off and arrived at the kindergarten in short order. By that time, the teacher had already brought Nolan and Lana out. The family left the kindergarten after picking the kids up.

“This is for you,” Jared gave Nolan a document bag.

Frowning in confusion, Nolan asked, “What’s this?”

“Just open it and see for yourself,” Jared said calmly.

Taken aback for a moment, Nolan opened the file bag.

After he had seen what was inside, his eyes widened in surprise. “Is this really for me?”

“Yep,” Jared confirmed.

As it turned out, Jared had given Nolan a set of identity information, which caused him to wrinkle his little face, feeling conflicted.

‘Why did he give me my identity information? Did he find out what I did?’ Nolan wondered.

“You can use this identity to register your own account. You may also wait till you turn into an adult to change it back to your real information,” Jared explained.

Though Jared did not mention anything remotely related to hacking, everyone understood what he was trying to say as soon as they heard it.

 

Chapter 2107

Nolan was holding the document tightly in his hands, feeling ever more conflicted; he had longed to have his very own account, but for it to be gifted by Jared was something he found difficult to accept. Nolan sat there, torn between wanting to accept his gift or reject it.

“You don’t like it?” Jared looked at Nolan’s look of indecisiveness as he raised his eyebrows.

“Of course he likes it.’ Lana tilted her head smugly, blowing the whistle on her brother without hesitation. “He likes it very much.”

“Cut the crap.” Nolan glared at Lana in embarrassment, not wanting to admit he liked Jared’s gift.

Lana, however, did not back down from Nolan’s glare. “Well, if you don’t like it, just give it back to daddy.”

This prompted Nolan to throw the document back to Jared.” I’ll just return it. I don’t like it anyway.”

However, it was evident that Nolan was lying, as his eyes were fixed on the document he had just thrown at Jared.

Nicole shook her head in defeat, reaching out to grab the document file before handing it back to Nolan. “This is for you, and for you only. No one else can use this. Got it? Didn’t you always want to have your own account?”

“But…” Nolan lowered his head, not wanting to accept the reality that Jared had gifted this to him, and that it would be difficult for him to face Jared in the future.

“If you don’t like it, you can throw it away. I don’t take back the things I’ve given out,” Jared coldly said before looking away from Nolan.

Jared was concerned that if he paid too much attention to Nolan, it would scare him away, making their relationship even more awkward.

Nolan held the piece of document in his hands, hesitating for a while before stuffing it into his bag. Lana, who saw it, then snickered. Seeing this, Nicole gave her a warning look, telling her to not make fun of him. Then, Lana poked her tongue out mischievously.

“How can you not like what Daddy’s given you? If it was me, I would want it.”

“Here, take it. You don’t even know how to use it,” Nolan said, shooting Lana a dismayed look.

‘What is wrong with her? She’s becoming more and more of a nuisance,’ he thought.

Lana thought that Nolan did not understand that she was mocking him, so she stuck her tongue out at him.

It was then that Jared came in and scooped Lana up into his arms, before asking softly, “What do you want to have?”

“I want ice cream.” Lana smiled innocently, not wanting to know what her brother’s interests were. ‘Of course, ice cream is better than anything.’

“Okay, let’s go get some ice cream,” Jared said.

Soon, the car stopped. Max stepped out to buy ice creams for the two of them, one for each of the twins. As soon as the treat arrived, they instantly forgot about their quarrel from before and ate in silence.

Suddenly, the interior of the car dimmed, and Nicole could not help but frown as she noticed that a set of drapes had been drawn over the windows and windshields.

“It’s Everett’s car,” Max said.

Instantly, Nicole understood why Max had done so. ‘If he finds out about the twins, this will raise his suspicions.’

Thanks Max,” she said, feeling grateful for how thoughtful Max was.

“Oh, it’s nothing, Miss Riddle,” Max replied courteously.

Soon, the shades were lifted, though the twins were so focused on devouring their ice cream that they had not noticed anything that had happened earlier.

Nicole was concerned for both Nolan and Lana as the both of them were rather smart for their age. The environment they were living in had forced them to be more mature than those of their age. Jared’s heart sank as he saw the two of them and pulled Lana closer into his arms.

Nolan and Lana. These two had gone through what most kids their age had not gone through.’

“Daddy?” Lana suddenly looked up at Jared.

“Yes?” Jared responded softly.

With a mischievous smile, she asked, “At Mommy and Daddy’s wedding, can Nolan and I be the flower girl?”

Jared was taken aback, as he did not expect Lana to bring this up so suddenly.

 

Chapter 2108

Shocked by the sudden remark, Nicole tried to stop Lana at once. “Lana, that’s enough with the nonsense.”

Though Nicole had recently begun to get along with Jared, things regarding the wedding were still too early for Nicole to consider for discussion. At this point, Jared and she had not officially confirmed the status of their relationship.

“Sure.” Jared agreed without hesitation.

Then, Lana eagerly asked, “When will Mommy and Daddy have the wedding?”

Jared shot a glance at Nicole and noticed she was already panicking. “Well, it’s up to your mommy.”

Nicole was taken aback for a moment, and when she locked eyes with Jared, she noticed that he was indeed serious. This prompted her to bite her lips, as she did not know what to do.

‘Is he really going to consider my opinion in its entirety?’ Nicole’s mind raced.

“Are you not happy with that?” Jared’s eyes flashed with mischief. “Or would you like to have it earlier? I won’t have any problems with it.”

“Quicker seems better,” Lana said, seizing the opportunity to back Jared up.

“No.” Nolan refused right off the bat, his ice cream no longer being the core of his attention as the topic of conversation had piqued his interest.

Jared looked at Nicole and shrugged, “It’s all up to my wife.”

‘Of course, I’m eager to wed her, but right now, her memory has not been fully restored. There are still several things yet to be answered and solved. I must uncover the identities of those who had injured her before and find them. Even Nolan and Lana’s identities are to be kept a secret right now.

Wedding? I guess I’ll just have to wait.’

Nicole’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Jared calling her, ‘his wife.’

Then, she shyly looked away and said, “There’s no wedding.”

Jared chuckled upon seeing how bashful and skittish she was.

“What are you laughing at?” Nicole’s cheeks turned bright red, feeling a little hot.

Jared’s grin became even wider as he watched her fiddle and shift around in her seat. This only made her stare out the window to avoid eye contact with Jared while her heart was still racing.

Soon after, the car came to a halt as they arrived at the Riddle residence. Nolan scrambled out of the car, unable to wait to get back into his room. Nicole knew that nothing could stop Nolan, so all she did was flash him a loving smile.

“What’s up with him?” Gloria asked, feeling a little concerned.

“It’s nothing. He’s probably feeling a little tired. That’s all.” Nicole casually found an excuse, not wanting her mom to get worried.

“Grandma!” Lana cutely tottered over into Gloria’s embrace.

Gloria was immediately left smiling from ear to ear as she looked at Lana who was in her arms. Just like that, her attention was immediately redirected.

Jared and Nicole, on the other hand, were sitting on the couch, getting some rest before it was dinner time. Shortly after, Stanley, Spencer, and Samuel arrived home from work.

“Mom, dad,” the three of them greeted as they entered.

“Come, let’s eat,” Daniel said upon noting that everyone in the family had arrived home from work.

Lana had already had her dinner at the kindergarten.

Therefore, she quietly sat and watched TV in the living room alone without bothering anyone, including Nolan, who was in his room.

As they sat down in the dining room, Daniel took at Nicole and said, “The issues concerning your uncles at the company seem to have been resolved.”

“Yeah,” Nicole replied. “Though I still lost some.”

Chapter 2109

“Well, it can’t be helped,” said Daniel indifferently, for there would be inevitable losses even if the issue had been resolved.

“Yeah,” said Nicole coolly, as if she genuinely did not care about the affairs of the other two companies.

Daniel felt much more relieved as he noticed that his daughter was showing no signs of distress. And so, he did not press on with further questions.

“Dad, let’s dig in.” Samuel said, not wanting to hear all the yapper about Dillion and Damien.

Instead he was quite content knowing that the two families could handle their affairs on their own. This meant that they would not be having the time to meddle with their family.

“Yeah, let’s all dig in.” Daniel said, urging everyone to start eating.

Once dinner was over, everyone returned to their respective rooms. Nicole, meanwhile, went over to Nolan’s room to see that he was still busy.

She sat down next to him and said, “Whatever you did yesterday, don’t do it again.”

“Who told them to bully my mommy?” said Nolan assertively.

Nicole gently patted Nolan’s head, “Alright, your Excellency. You obviously have your own way of thinking now. Even at the mall, you’ve turned to hacking as a way to vent your anger to get back at them.”

“But…” Nolan glanced at Nicole hesitantly.

“Don’t worry about it, okay. No one is going to bully me. I have plans of my own.” Nicole comforted him with a gentle smile.

Nolan nodded in response. “Okay, mommy.”

“Alright, don’t stay up too late now.” Nicole said as she turned around to leave.

Nolan stared at his screen, ‘Now that I have my own account, I can accept missions whenever I like. I can rank up too!1 Nolan got excited as he thought about it, as it was his dream come true.

However….

Nolan had carefully considered not telling Lawrence about his new account. After all, he was unsure about how to break the news to his godfather regarding the fact that he had accepted this gift from Jared.

‘Why do I feel like I’m betraying my godfather?’

At the same time, at Dillon’s residence. Dillon had a grimace on his face as he looked over at Raine and James.

“Dad, I was too hasty. I asked Preston for help.” Raine lowered her head as she spoke cautiously.

“Dad, it was fortunate that Preston came over to help us out. Otherwise we would have suffered an even greater loss,”

James chimed in.

“Did you mention that it was a hacker attack?” Dillon frowned. What did Preston even help with?’

“Yeah. Preston said that there were no traces of us being hacked and that our system needed an upgrade. So, Preston helped us by upgrading it, and after that our stock prices began to stabilize. That

saved us from a lot of losses,” Raine continued.

“Dad, since the matter has been resolved, let’s think about the next big thing. We had our losses, so we should find a way to make up for it.” James added as he helped Raine to persuade Dillon, who continued frowning.

Karen, feeling a little dismayed, spoke up, “Our kids willingly joined you to help out at the company. Quit being such a pessimist.”

“I just think everything that has happened this time is way too strange.”

Dillon’s expression was sour and gloomy. He had asked someone to check things through, but it yielded no results.

“You know what’s strange? We were not the only ones having this problem. Damien did too.”

Karen gritted her teeth bitterly.

Both of our companies suddenly experienced the same problems. Both suffered significant losses. It would be odd if this doesn’t piss anyone off. If it was a coordinated attack however, Damien had also suffered the same. I guess we were both unlucky.’

“Well, well, well, what do you know? Damien had the same problem as we did, but Dexter and Daniel had no problems at all! Don’t you think this is suspicious?!” Dillon roared.

Surprised and dismayed by his sudden reaction, Karen asked, “Why are you shouting!? Can’t you speak properly?!”

 

Chapter 2110

Karen was also worried about the company too, and the last thing she expected was to be yelled at by Dillon.

“Dad, do you have any ideas?” Snow suddenly spoke up, asking Dillon in a low voice.

“No. It’s just very strange to me.” Dillon said, feeling drained and dispirited. ‘If I could think of something, I wouldn’t be this frustrated.’

Snow then frowned and said, “Since the problem only affected us and Damien, whilst sparing both Dexter and Daniel, it does seem suspicious.”

“Are you suggesting that they joined hands to mess with us? ” Karen raised her voice.

‘This woman is so frustrating,’ Dillon thought.

“If you have nothing to do, you can go back to your room,” Dillion coldly said to Karen.

“Am I wrong?” Karen was fuming and was ready to yell at Dillon before Snow stepped up to stop her.

“Dad, I think what mom said makes sense. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain.”

“Preston works at their company, right? Did he notice anything that was off?” Raine frowned.

‘Something feels very odd here. If there really was a problem at their company, Preston would surely be able to pick it off.’ “Just because nobody noticed anything, that doesn’t mean the problem doesn’t exist.” Snow’s voice became even lower.

‘Whether it was real or not, I will make sure it’s linked to Nicole. When the time comes, I’ll make sure grandpa knows Nicole is deliberately targeting all the other branch companies. I’ll see how he’ll try to protect her,’ she thought.

“Um…” Raine remained silent, not quite getting what Snow was referring to.

“Even if there is, we don’t have evidence.” Dillon felt lost, his eyes becoming darker as he understood what Snow meant.

‘The idea is good, but not having evidence is a pity indeed,’ Dillon thought.

“We can just look for the evidence.” Snow’s face lit up, knowing that her father had caught onto her idea.

“Look…” Dillion repeated, though his words trailed off after the first syllable had been uttered.

Glances were shared among the table, with Dillon becoming silent and seemingly lost in thought. After a long while, he got up and retired to his study, leaving those at the dining table with looks of confusion on their faces.

“Mom, is dad…”

‘What does he mean?’

“Don’t ask me. I know nothing,” Karen seethed.

Raine turned to look at James, only to see that James was staring at Snow, his eyes filled with longing.

James had understood what Snow and Dillon had meant. He had also noticed, for the first time ever, how beautiful Snow was.

‘It seems that she’s not naive.’

Snow shot James a cold look before turning around to go upstairs, having successfully achieved her goal. My father believed me. Now, I can just wait for good news.’

The next day, the sun radiated brilliantly in the sky. Nicole made her customary arrival at the Riddle Corporation, with Lulu trailing behind her.

“Nicole, you appear unwell,” Lulu noted.

“It’s nothing,” Nicole dismissed, shaking her head and anxiously biting her lip, feigning composure.

Nicole knew that it would be embarrassing to tell Lulu that she did not rest well the night before due to the dream she was having, which was all about Jared. On top of that, it was a dream about their wedding.

As Nicole reminisced about the dream’s vivid details, she could feel her cheeks growing hot with embarrassment.
