Ch. 2126..2130: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2126-2130
Chapter 2126
Dillon looked at the investigators and nodded politely. “So, it’s been several days since this case started. Can you give us the results now?”
The investigator glanced at Dillon and said, “The investigation results are now available.”
A flash of satisfaction crossed Dillon’s eyes, but it quickly turned into anguish as he looked at Nicole. It seemed as though once the investigators announced the results, he would take action against her.
Seeing through Dillon’s thoughts, Nicole expressed a trace of disdain in her eyes. She returned his gaze with a mocking smile on her lips.
“Regarding the case presented by Riddle Corporation’s subsidiary against Riddle Corporation’s main company for manipulating the stock market with malicious intent, the case has been dismissed due to insufficient evidence,” the investigator said as he looked at Dillon.
“Nicole…” Dillon’s words almost slipped out, but he suddenly realized that something was wrong. It felt as though he had been struck by lightning. ‘What’s happening?!’
‘The case has been dismissed? How could it be dismissed?!’
Raine also found it unbelievable and blurted out without thinking, “Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
With a cold expression, the investigator continued, “On the other hand, due to your fabrication of evidence, Mr. Dillon Riddle, you are now under arrest for false accusations. The investigation is pending.”
“What?!” Dillon felt a wave of dizziness. Raine’s face turned pale as a sheet as well.
Soon, two uniformed individuals entered, ready to detain Dillon.
Dillon truly panicked this time and could not help but shout,” No, this isn’t right! I don’t accept it!”
“Accept it or not, it depends on the investigation results,” the investigator said sternly.
“W-Wait a minute, we want bail,” Raine shouted in a panic, trying to prevent Dillon from being taken away.
“We don’t handle bails here. You’ll have to talk to the police.” The investigator waved his hand, and Dillon was taken away.
Raine suddenly felt weak all over and was close to stumbling.
“Watch out.” James supported Raine to help her regain her balance.
With a face filled with resentment, Raine glared at Nicole and said through her teeth, “You’re heartlessly cruel, Nicole.”
‘She must’ve planned this. That’s why she has been so calm all this while.’
“Ah, I’m nothing compared to you.” Nicole’s gaze became as chilling as a sharp sword.
“You…” Raine was at a loss for words. She even started to tremble.
James comforted her in a low voice, “Let’s check on Dad first.”
Raine clenched her hands tightly. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and say, “Let’s go.”
“Alright, I’ll help you,” James agreed and helped Raine leave quickly. He knew very well that Dillon could not afford any mishaps at this time. Otherwise, the situation would become even more disadvantageous forthem.
Nicole’s gaze was cold as she watched the two of them hurry away.
“Nicole, what’s going on?” Lulu was stupefied. Although Nicole had told her before that it was nothing, the fact that this case had alarmed the police and resulted in an investigation was still rather shocking for Lulu.
“Their methods were clumsy, so they exposed themselves,” Nicole’s eyes flashed with disdain. ‘They just shot themselves in the foot.’
Lulu then asked carefully, “Well then… Can we leave now?” It still felt surreal for her.

Chapter 2128
“Sean, Steve, you just finished the meeting, and there must be a lot of work to do. So, go and take care of it. I’m not alone anyway, so don’t worry about me. If something really happens, Lulu will ask for your help.” Nicole pushed Lulu forward, hoping that Sean and Steve would not worry about her so much.
In fact, she could handle many things on her own. Besides, they were all terribly busy, and they should not be distracted by her affairs.
“Our matters are not more important than yours,” Sean reminded Nicole. “We won’t be able to bear it if something happens to you again.”
“Rest assured, even if it’s for the sake of all of you, I won’t let anything happen to me,” Nicole responded warmly. She knew that these people cared deeply about her, and ever since she returned, she had developed a true bond with her family despite losing her memories.
Knowing that Nicole was fine, Sean and Steve finally settled down and went back to work.
Nicole also returned to her office to handle the new tasks that had been assigned to her.
On the other hand, Raine and James had already arranged bail for Dillon, and the three of them had just come out of the police station.
Dillon seemed to have aged significantly in a brief period of time, and his whole demeanor was desolate.
“Dad, is it possible that we were tricked by Nicole?” Raine gritted her teeth in anger.
“Let’s go home first.” Dillon’s gaze turned cold, and his voice was chilling.
He had already thought about it and found out that the evidence he possessed was actually a double- edged sword that stabbed him. The testimonies were retracted, and the physical evidence had turned
into proof of his forgery. It was difficult for him to prove his innocence.
He was confused as he wondered, ‘Everything went smoothly before, and I didn’t fabricate anything, I truly got it after investigating, so why did everything change all of a sudden? Was Raine right? Did we just get set up by Nicole?’
“Dad, we need to find a way to uncover the truth behind this. We can’t just silently bear this loss,” James said indignantly.
Dillon glanced at James before nodding. “You’re right. We should investigate.”
He was well aware that something was amiss in this matter, and no matter who was behind it, he had to find that person.
Leaning against the seat, Dillon immediately called his assistant and ordered, “Find out who’s behind all this now!”
He will make that person pay!
“Dad, let us take you home to rest. You don’t have to worry about the company. We’ll keep an eye on it,” Raine reassured Dillon in a low voice.
“Okay,” Dillon grunted in response.
Knowing that her father’s trust in her had increased a little more, Raine was secretly delighted. However, she still remained humble and cautious on the surface.
After sending Dillon home, Raine and James headed for the company.
“Do you really think Nicole is behind this?” James asked Raine in a low voice.
“Hmph, who else could it be?” Raine snorted arrogantly. She actually felt slightly excited as she continued delightedly.” Once Dad finds the evidence, Nicole will have no place in the Riddle family anymore.”
‘As long as I drive Nicole away, everything in the Riddle family would eventually belong to me.’
James understood Raine’s intention as a meaningful smile grew on his face.
Meanwhile, at home.
Karen approached Dillon when she saw how exhausted he looked as he entered the house. “What happened to you?” she asked.
Chapter 2129
“Don’t get me started.” Dillon briefly explained the situation with a dejected tone, feeling increasingly unlucky, as things were not going well.
“Why did it end up like this?” Snow’s face turned pale upon hearing the outcome, feeling utterly frustrated.
She had been eagerly awaiting a favorable result for Nicole’s arrest, but why did it turn out like this?
“How could that wretched Nicole be so smart? How did she escape?” Karen gnashed her teeth in frustration.
Dillon’s eyes turned cold as he said, “Let’s see how long she can last.”
“Dad, do you have a plan?” Snow’s eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope.
“Why ask when you won’t be of any use to us? Just stay out of trouble for now.” Dillon left with these words as he took big strides upstairs.
He was already feeling annoyed, yet everyone still kept bombarding him with questions, making him even more agitated.
Karen and Snow exchanged glances. Their expressions grew serious, but they did not dare ask any further.
As the sun set, it cast a golden glow over the horizon.
Nicole came out of the company and saw Jared waiting for her.
She approached him quickly with a smile and said, “Have you been waiting for long?”
Normally, he would be sitting in the car. But today, he had gotten out, so she guessed that he had arrived early.
“No, I haven’t.” Jared gently raised his hand to stroke Nicole’s hair.
Under the setting sun, the shadow of the couple was stretched out on the ground. Their shadows met each other at one point, creating a beautiful and romantic image.
“You seem to be in an exceptionally good mood today.” Jared looked at Nicole, his eyes filled with tenderness.
“The plan succeeded, so I obviously have to be happy.” Nicole knew that Jared must have already known everything, so there was no need to hide anything.
He smiled indulgently and asked, “Is it because the plan succeeded, or because you have a new plan?”
Nicole could not help but roll her eyes at Jared. She said,” You know about that too, huh? I seriously suspect that you’ve planted spies around me.”
“I just understand you.” Jared’s lips curled up as he held her delicate hand with a gentle smile.
Nicole pouted as she thought, ‘Since he knows me so well, there’s nothing surprising about me anymore.’
Jared could not help but chuckle when he saw her frustrated expression. He raised his hand to stroke her hair and said, “When you regain your memories, you’ll know that you understand me just as well.”
Nicole bit her lip. But I can’t experience the feeling he’s talking about without my memories.’
Seemingly understanding her thoughts, Jared suggested,” Then I won’t mention it anymore. I’ll just wait for you to tell me.”
“Your words, not mine.” Nicole raised her head, as she searched for reassurance in Jared’s eyes.
Looking at her raised chin and the enticing shade of her red lips, Jared lowered his head and gently pecked her lips before promising her dotingly, “Of course.”
Nicole’s cheeks instantly flushed when she felt an electrifying sensation rushing through her lips.
“Just talk to me, and stop being so touchy,” Nicole scolded Jared with a glare, looking all shy and coquettish.
Jared’s eyes darkened for a moment before he dominatingly wrapped his arms around her and started kissing her…
When Nicole was finally released from his hold, her mind was still in a daze. After gradually coming back to her senses, her pink cheeks became even more flushed.
Chapter 2130
Nicole's cheeks were already burning with embarrassment after being surrounded by people watching them make out on the street. She pulled Jared into the car as she thought, '
This guy is really becoming more and more outrageous. Doesn't he take his surroundings into consideration?’ She should be thankful that the employees had already left at this time. Otherwise, she would have been thoroughly embarrassed.
Jared could not help but smile when he saw her trying to mescape. "Don't be nervous. We're legally married,” he reminded her.
“Even if we're legally married, we should still consider the occasion,” Nicole complained through gritted teeth. 'He actually had the audacity to justify himself.’
A trace of mischief flashed in Jared's eyes as he leaned closer to Nicole and asked in a low voice, "So, Mrs. Johnston, what kind of occasion do you think is appropriate? Shall we go home?”
Nicole's lips twitched fiercely. ‘Why am I hearing a different meaning from his ‘shall we go home’ remark? Why did my thoughts start going astray? Is this disorder contagious?’
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. Nicole pushed Jared away and sat as far away from him as possible, clearly drawing a boundary.
“Well, Mrs. Johnston, if you don't like being at home, where do you like?" Jared deliberately teased her.
“I don't want to be anywhere." Nicole gnashed her teeth. Shereally wanted to zip Jared's lips together. ‘Why do I go weak when he speaks?’
“Haha.” Jared burst out laughing as he found that teasing her was really amusing.
She used to be shy a few years back. And now, after five years, she had just become even more shy.
"What the hell is he laughing at?! Nicole glared at Jared with resentment. She was grinding her teeth hard as she thought, ' Why am I so irritated?’
Jared restrained himself a little when he felt that he might be pushing her too far. He then pulled Nicole back, not doing anything to make her feel flustered or embarrassed anymore.
The car stopped when they arrived at the pre-school.
“Mommy, why are you late today?" Nolan asked with a frown. Lana also asked Jared, "Yeah, Dad. We're the only ones left in school.”
Nicole cast a subtle glare at Jared. ‘It was all his fault that we were late in picking up the children.’
But she obviously could not tell the children about this, so she had to come up with an excuse. "Mommy was delayed with some work. I promise to be on time from now on, okay?
“Okay!” Nolan and Lana replied in unison. Nicole smiled and happily led their two adorable kids into the car.
The car started again, heading towards Nicole's home.
“Mommy, our school’s going to have a parent-child sports event. Can you and Dad come with us?" Lana tilted his little head expectantly.
“A parent-child sports event? When is it?" Nicole asked hesitantly.
Of course, she wanted to participate in the children's parent- child activities, but did she really have to go with Jared?
She concealed their true identities to ensure their safety. So, the section for the children's father was left blank, meaning that they only had her as a parent. ‘Will Jared cause any unnecessary trouble if he attended?’
“Sure.” Seeing Nicole's hesitation, Jared understood her concerns and answered aloud.
"But..." Nicole's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Jared. ‘If he were to attend and someone saw him...’
"It's okay, I'll take care of it." Jared gently squeezed Nicole's hand as he reassured her in a soft voice, "Don't worry. Nothing will happen. Besides, the children want us to go."
“Come on, Mommy," Lana said, looking at Nicole with anticipation.
