Ch. 2111..2115: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2111-2115

Chapter 2111

“Are you sure everything’s alright? Why’s your face so red?” Lulu asked, stretching her hand out in an effort to feel Nicole’s forehead for a fever.

After ducking away from Lulu’s hand, Nicole replied, “I’m fine, really. It’s a little hot today.”

“Hot?” Lulu looked over at the thermostat, through which the temperature for the air conditioner had been set to the lowest.

Nicole then followed Lulu’s gaze. ‘How could I find such a lame excuse!?’

“Nicole, you’re not feeling hot. Are you…shy?” Lulu discovered in surprise, seeming to understand why Nicole looked a little off.

Overwhelmed by an instant surge of embarrassment, Nicole went ahead and protested, “No, why would I be shy?”

“Oh.’ Lulu frowned, thinking for a while before nodding.” You’re right.”

Finally, Nicole heaved a mental sigh of relief as she saw that Lulu did not press on with any further questions. “Okay.

There’s nothing wrong with me, you can go do your work.”

“Okay, then I’ll be off now” Lulu turned around and left the office.

Once again, Nicole unconsciously recalled her dream from the night before, and when she did, her face flushed a deep shade of red once more.

That train of thought was only derailed when she heard a knock on the door, allowing her to snap out of it and say,” Come in.”

Lulu opened the door and entered before placing a document on Nicole’s desk with a serious expression on her face. “There seems to be a problem.”

“Where?” Nicole opened the document suspiciously, skimming through the contents with her eyebrows furrowed.

“Nicole, what’s the problem? I was called over by the president’s secretary. The look on her face was a little weird when she said this is for you. So, I brought this over immediately.”

Lulu’s face was twisted in a panic, as she could sense that things were not right from the look on the president’s secretary’s face.

An icy glint suddenly flashed in Nicole’s eyes, “Someone is deliberately causing us trouble again.”

“Trouble?” Lulu became puzzled, but in less than a second, she understood that Nicole was referring to Dillon and Damien.

“Damien.” Nicole uttered slowly as her eyes became even frostier.

“What did he do?” Lulu’s expression changed immediately.’ Is it because of yesterday’s stock fluctuations? But it didn’t harm the branch company, so why is he starting a fight in an empty house?’

“He reported us to the police.” The corner of Nicole’s mouth curled up as she snickered. ‘Only he would think of something as devious as this.’

Lulu’s eyes widened in shock. “He reported you?!”

‘What are we going to do? Why did he report her?’ Lulu panicked.

“It’s okay. You may return to your work,” said Nicole composedly. ‘Since he wants to take it out on the main branch, I’d like to see him try to obtain any solid evidence.’

However, Lulu was still worried as she asked, “Are you sure everything’s okay?”

“Yeah. It’s all nonsense, anyway.” Nicole placed the document down after she had read its contents, paying it little to no mind.

‘If Dillion had discovered that it was Nolan’s fault, I would have to think of someone who has appeared to be more competent than Preston seems to be. But now, he’s suspecting that the main office has messed with his stocks. It’s completely absurd. Not even I would use this silly method to deal with them,’ she thought.

Relieved when she saw how confident Nicole was, Lulu nodded and agreed, “Okay, if you need anything, do let me know.”

Nicole watched as Lulu left. Then, she glanced at the document once more, sneered, and picked the phone up to make a call. “Steve.”

“I saw the document,” Steve said, cutting to the chase.

Chapter 2112

“Yeah,” Nicole replied with a hint of amusement in her voice. “Where did they get the fake evidence from?”

“Well, since it’s fake, they probably forged it themselves.” Steve said in a nonchalant tone, knowing that Damien and Dillion just wanted to shift the blame to the main office.

“But since they have reported us, don’t you think it’s a little over the top?” Nicole asked, feeling a little puzzled with their actions. ‘They even dare to report us to the police after fabricating evidence.’

“Um…” Steve hesitated for a while before responding. “I fail to understand how they’ve gotten a secretary to give you that document. I’d like to know how they’ve pulled it off too.”

Indeed, Steve felt that something was wrong. ‘Why would Dillon dig a grave for himself?’

“Steve, do you think someone has leaked the news to them? ” Nicole suddenly thought of a possibility.

“You mean that they have gotten someone to investigate and found some actual, solid evidence…?”

‘If this is the case, then this is the only reasonable explanation I can think of. I know Dillon is suspicious of us, but to dig and actually possess evidence against us? He really isn’t letting us off the hook, by the looks of it.’

“Probably.” Nicole sighed, feeling a little distressed. “Does grandpa know about this?”

It was a certainty that Nicole was not afraid of anything, but for these issues to reach the ears of her grandfather would be a little too much for the old man to swallow. After all, it was a battle between his sons and grandchildren.

“It’s a rather huge piece of news, so I doubt it’s impossible for him not to know.” Steve’s voice became low and heavy, as he too understood what Nicole meant.

Nicole knew what Steve said was right. “Okay, since things have already boiled over, let’s just wait for the outcome.”

“So, what are you going to do now?” Steve asked.

Nicole hesitated for a second, before narrowing her eyes and saying, “Let’s just wait and see.”

‘Since Dillon is so determined to raise hell out of this issue, I can’t let him off the hook so easily,’ she thought.

“Okay then, we shall wait and see,” Steve said cheekily. ‘Of course, who wouldn’t want to watch some dramas unfold, right?’

Soon after they both hung up.

Now, Nicole knew Dillion’s bag of tricks all too well, but still, she could not help to ponder, “What evidence does Dillion have against us? What’s the purpose of his plan? Is it for me, or for himself?”

The unanswered questions swarmed Nicole’s mind, making her even more confused as to what Dillon’s intention was. It was not long before she let out a huge sigh.

‘Without my memories intact, it’s definitely hard for me to endure life here in San Joto.’

Nicole rubbed her temples, and after contemplating for a while, she got up and walked out of her office.

“Nicole, are you heading out?” Lulu politely asked when she saw Nicole striding out of her office room.

“I’m going to head out for a bit,” Nicole replied.

“Do you need me to accompany you?” Lulu offered, hesitant to allow Nicole to go out on her own.

Nicole shook her head. “No, I’m heading out to sort some private matters out.”

Lulu did not press on with any further questions after this. She could only watch as Nicole disappeared, her heart filled with worry.

After she had reached the ground floor, Nicole took the company’s car and drove over to Martin’s lab. Prior to this, Martin had sent Nicole his address in advance, having decided that she could come over whenever she had the time.

However, Martin was still surprised to see Nicole coming over to visit him at the lab without giving a heads up. “You’re here!”

“Yeah, I wanted to try your improved version of the Beacon.” Nicole stated, determined to try harder to restore her memories as soon as possible.

Martin instinctively peeked behind her. “Did you come alone? It

“Of course,” Nicole responded casually.

Chapter 2113

Martin wore a conflicted expression on his face.

Then, he frowned and asked, “Mr. Johnston isn’t going to accompany you?”

“I did not tell him about it,” Nicole replied, feeling that there was no need to bother Jared over such a trivial matter.

Moreover, Jared had his own things to take care of. There was no way Nicole could request for his care and protection 24/7.

“But the treatment process will be tough. Are you sure you do not need Mr. Johnston to accompany you?” Martin asked, wanting to reconfirm.

He felt that it would be heart-breaking if Nicole had to go through everything alone.

Nicole bit her lips. That was the exact reason as to why she did not want to tell Jared about this. She knew that it was going to be tough, so she did not want him by her side, where he had to bear witness of all of her pain. Jared would most probably be left heartbroken in the process.

After taking a deep breath, Nicole said with a firm look, “It’s fine. Let’s begin.”

Seeing how determined she was, Martin could not help but do as he was asked. “Alright then. However, you must signal me to stop if it gets too agonizing.”

“Okay.” Nicole nodded in agreement.

After that, Martin led Nicole to the lab and prepared her for the treatment.

After having studied about The Beacon, Nicole knew that the upgraded version was different from the previous version.

Still, she casually asked, “Have you thought of a name for this one?”

It would make no sense for them to simply name it as “The Upgraded version” once it was released. Therefore, Nicole felt that it would be better to give it a new name.

Martin lifted his lips into a smile and replied, “The previous version was named by you. Why don’t you come up with a name for this version too?”

“Me?” Nicole asked, feeling taken aback.

Then, she shook her head. “Nah, you should name it this time.”

After all, this version had nothing to do with her.

Martin could tell that Nicole was against the idea of naming it, so he just stared at her and smiled. “Let’s call it The Moon. r»

Nicole would always be that moon which Martin could never reach. However, this would remain a secret which nobody would ever know of.

Nicole blinked. She could tell that there was something odd about Martin’s gaze. But when she was trying to observe him even more carefully, Martin had already looked away. By then, he was preparing for Nicole’s treatment.

“Relax yourself. If you can’t take it, we must stop.” Martin reminded once again.

Nodding, Nicole replied, “Don’t worry. I’m here for treatment, not for torture.”

Seeing that Nicole was still in the mood to joke around, Martin shook his head with a wry smile. “Alright, let’s begin.”

After all, the treatment would be administered via external pain. Nicole knew that the treatment process would be painful, but when it did begin, she realized that it was even stronger than she had imagined. Soon, Nicole’s face blanched.

Martin, who had been staring at her, noticed her pale face. He could not help but feel worried. Yet, Nicole did not ask him to stop. This placed him at a loss for a moment, as he was unsure of what to do.

Gradually, Nicole’s face shifted. Not only was she pale, but her head was also in sweat, and her eyes were shut tight. It seemed that she was in a lot of pain.

“We can’t continue anymore. We have to stop.”

Seeing that Nicole was still pushing herself without any desire to stop, Martin raised his hands and ceased the treatment there and then.

As the pain gradually eased, Nicole suddenly opened her eyes, her vision blurry and muddled.

“Nicole.” Martin softly called out to her.

Nicole slowly turned her head towards the direction of the voice. Then, the focus in her eyes gradually returned, allowing her to see Martin’s face clearly.

“Are you feeling fine?” Martin asked, his eyes brimming with concern.

Nicole nodded her head and said with a hoarse voice, “I’m fine.”

Martin then took a glass of warm water and handed it to Nicole. “Have some water and take a rest. Let’s take it easy.”

 

Chapter 2114

“Alright.” Nicole held the glass in her hand and took two sips of water.

She could already feel that the pain was slowly fading.

“Don’t worry. Even if it works, it’ll have to be done step by step,” Martin said, trying to comfort Nicole.

Nicole nodded. “I understand. It’s just that I felt that there was a wall of fog in front of me just now, so I thought I wanted to open it up and look inside. However, I couldn’t do it at all.”

Just as she wanted to continue trying, Martin had pulled the brakes on the treatment session.

“That might have been an illusion. If you persisted, you might have gotten yourself into trouble.” Martin answered with a hint of fear in his voice.

“But I felt like if I persevered, I might be able to see it.” Nicole bowed her head.

And though that was what she felt, she was unsure of the actual results.

After careful consideration, Martin reminded Nicole, “The Moon can provide you with some external stimulation and treatment. But I’d recommend giving needle techniques a go for better effect.”

“I thought of the same as well.” Nicole agreed, deciding to take some medicine to supplement the process as well.

It was true that her body was too weak, and that her tolerance for pain should not be this low. Although she could not clearly put a finger on what was going on, she had a gut feeling that that was what it was.

“I guess we should call it a day. Remember to get adequate rest and take care of yourself when you head back.” Martin advised.

After Nicole had placed the glass down, she got up and replied, “I got it.”

Knowing that Nicole was getting ready to leave, Martin walked her out. “I’ll walk you out.”

After Martin had seen her depart, a hint of gentleness flashed across his gaze. ‘I will try my best to help her regain her memories. If this is what she wants, I will try my best to help her.’

After Nicole had left the place, she immediately hurried back to the Riddle Corporation.

“You’re back.” Lulu strode over and approached Nicole.

However, when she noticed that Nicole’s complexion looked a little sickly, she began to feel worried. “Why do you look so ill? Are you feeling sick?”

“I’m fine. Let’s head to the office first.”

After Nicole had spoken, she brought Lulu into the office.

“Did something happen?” Lulu asked in concern. ‘Why does she look so sick after stepping out for a while?’

“Don’t worry, I can take care of myself.” Nicole smiled and comforted Lulu, not wanting Lulu to worry about her.

“Well, have you settled the issues at the branch office?” Lulu suddenly queried in a low voice.

She thought that Nicole had left the office to deal with that problem.

“Wait for my news.” Nicole shrugged as if nothing would happen.

This left Lulu confused. Why is it that things always seem so easy to Nicole?’

Seeing how puzzled Lulu was, Nicole smiled. “What are you worried about? Do you think I am a weak person?”

“How is that possible? You’re the most powerful and smartest person I know of. There is no one else,” she argued.

Though Lulu looked as if she was worshipping Nicole, one should know that Nicole, a powerful woman, was the only person in Lulu’s life who possessed characteristics that made her so.

“That is more than enough. That’s why you really shouldn’t worry about it.” Nicole patted Lulu’s shoulder. “You just have to trust me.”

“Okay.” Lulu nodded vigorously as if she had always believed in it.

As long as she believed in Nicole, there would not be any issues.

Chapter 2115

“It’s almost lunch break. Let’s have lunch together.” Nicole said after she had gotten a glimpse at the time.

Lulu replied, “Sure.”

After working for a while, lunch break arrived, and the two women went out for a meal together. Nothing particularly eventful occurred while they were at it, and once they had eaten their last bite, the both of them continued focusing on their work.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening. But when Nicole was about to leave the office, she noticed that Sean and Steve were still there.

“Are you guys waiting for me?” Nicole smiled. “Let’s go.”

The three of them sauntered into the elevator, after which Nicole shrugged. “Sean, Steve? Have you guys thought of how you’re going to comfort grandpa?”

Steve turned towards Nicole and pouted his lips. “With you around, grandpa would not require any words of comfort.”

Sean nodded in agreement. As long as Mr. Riddle Sr. got to see Nicole, he would naturally lighten up. He would not think about things that would make him unhappy.

Nicole rolled her eyes at the two of them in annoyance. “So, all the pressure falls on me now?”

Since no one was willing to help, Nicole wondered if she was the only grandchild of Mr. Riddle Sr.

“Don’t worry. As long as you are there, grandpa will smile.” Steve said with a grin.

In their eyes, Mr. Riddle Sr. would be satisfied with anything as long as he had Nicole by his side.

Although Sean did not say anything, he nodded with smiling eyes, rendering Nicole speechless at that moment. In response, she could only shake her head in annoyance.

After they had stepped out of the office building, Nicole noticed that Jared’s car was already parked outside.

“We’ll meet you at grandpa’s house.” Sean and Steve turned around and walked to their respective cars.

Nicole arrived in front of Jared’s car, “You’ll fetch Nolan and Lana today. I’ll have to drop by grandpa’s house.”

“It must be about the issue with Dillion, right? We’ll talk about it in the car.” Jared signaled Nicole to enter the car.

Nicole was not surprised that Jared had found out about that incident, so she plainly asked, “Are you thinking of going with me?”

“Yes.” Jared replied.

He was still hesitant about allowing Nicole to deal with that particular bunch of people. After all, she had not regained her memories yet.

“What about the kids?” Nicole frowned, for if the both of them were gone, who would take care of the kids?

“I’ve fetched them. Mrs. Wallace Sr. will help us take care of them.” Jared replied gently.

After all, Gloria and Daniel would also be present for the matter. Therefore, he could only ask Mrs. Wallace Sr. to look after the kids.

Knowing that the kids were well taken care of, Nicole felt at peace. “Alright then.”

The car sped through the heavy evening traffic, and soon, they reached the Riddle family manor, the compound of which was filled with park cars. From the looks of it, everyone should have arrived already.

After Nicole and Jared had gotten down, they ambled into the house. As expected, the living room was very busy.

Mr. Riddle Sr.’s four sons had brought almost all of their family members along. The only ones absent were Chloe, who had become a paraplegic, and Preston. The rest were all present.

Nicole swept her glance over everyone in the house. Then, her gaze finally landed on Mr. Riddle Sr. ‘s face.
