Ch. 2141..2145: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2141-2145

Chapter 2141

“That’s your business. If you hadn’t framed others, why would your man be in lockup? He’s taking the blame for you. This is the sacrifice you have to make. What does it have to do with us?”

“Well, aren’t you simply heartless and malicious? You wanted to kill two birds with one stone, so now you’re saying I shot myself in the foot.”

“Isn’t that the truth?”

“Why, you!”

Damien and Dillon’s argument slowly heated up. They even seemed like they were going to start fighting physically the next second.

Mr. Riddle Sr.’s expression turned gloomy, and he could not endure it any longer. “Shut up! Am I invisible to you?!”

The living room was instantly silent. Only Damien and Dillon’s rapid breathing could be heard from the early quarrel. Mr. Riddle Sr. glanced at them with displease, thinking, ‘They’re both simply unfilial bastards. They said they wanted me to administer justice, but both were clearly at fault. What did they want me to do? Punish them each by slapping them eighty times?’

“Calm down, Dad. Your health comes first,” Daniel worriedly advised after looking at Mr. Riddle Sr.’s increasingly pale face.

Dexter also chimed in, “Dad, what’s done is done. Let’s see if there is any way to solve this.”

They could not just leave the two people to continue arguing.

“Grandpa, I think this matter should end here. In fact, I think it’s meaningless to continue the discussion,” Nicole proposed in a low tone. She felt that the uproar had gotten out of hand after having

witnessed enough of it. She didn’t want to listen to their disagreement; she wanted to go home and be with her two cuties.

“No way!” Dillon was the first to object. How could they just forget about it?

Nicole raised her eyebrows. “What else do you want?”

Dillon was caught offguard by Nicole’s question. He could not possibly say what he wanted out loud.

“That’s right. Are you going to drag other people down with your fabricated evidence?” Damien took the chance to taunt Dillon.

Dillon’s expression once again turned gloomy. Gritting his teeth, he stared at Damien with hate. “You were the one who gave me this evidence.”

Damien sneered and hummed at him. ‘So what if I did it? Dillon has no evidence against me. His speech alone was not enough to pose a threat to me,’

“Listen to Nicole. This ends now. Leave, I’m tired,” Mr.

Riddle Sr. ordered. His head hurts from all their arguments, feeling mentally exhausted.

“Dad!” Dillon almost jumped up in agitation. He could not believe things would end so rashly. Did no one even care about him?

Mr. Riddle Sr. waved his hands, signaling Dillon to stop his nonsense. He really did not want to hear anything from him now.

Dillon suddenly came home today, claiming to have something important to discuss with everyone. He even insisted all his brothers be present. So Mr. Riddle Sr. called them all back. After some thought, Mr. Riddle Sr. also took the initiative to call Nicole back. Though, he never expected Dillon to discuss this

matter. Mr. Riddle Sr. initially thought Dillon was the victim. Turned out, Nicole was the only victim in this situation, where his two eldest sons were all ill- intentioned.

Not wanting to hear their nonsense, Mr. Riddle Sr. directly instructed, “Alfred, get them out of here.”

Mr. Riddle Sr.’s order was almost equivalent to kicking them out. Dillon’s face turned purple with rage, feeling suffocated.

“Dad, take care. I’ll leave first.” Damien was the first to bid farewell.

At this point, it was pointless to stay back. Only Dillon, the fool, would continue to pester here. After Damien left, Dexter also stood up. “Dad, if there’s nothing left. I’ll head back too.”

 

Chapter 2142

“Alright.” Mr. Riddle Sr. raised his head to look at his third son.

Daniel wanted to leave, but Nicole shook her head toward him. So Daniel sat back down again. In the end, Dillon had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

After everyone was gone, Nicole advised Mr. Riddle Sr. with a smooth tone. “Grandpa, you should really leave this matter alone.”

“How can I not worry? They think they’re clever clogs and try to deceive others like fools.” Mr. Riddle Sr. was in a horrible mood. Two of his disappointing sons added up were not even as clear-headed as his granddaughter.

Mr. Riddle Sr. knew very well that they were intrigued with each other, and tricking Nicole, his precious granddaughter. This knowledge made him so furious that he wanted to kick them out of the house.

“Grandpa, don’t worry. No matter what they do, I’m not a fool, ” Nicole said with a pouty look, comforting Mr. Riddle Sr.

The older man was originally in an irritating mood, but Nicole’s words uplifted him.

“Dad, are you really going to let them go for this matter?” Daniel asked tentatively. Deep down, he was rather furious by his brother’s actions, but he was even more distressed for Nicole.

Mr. Riddle Sr. chuckled. “Your decision to retire was a correct choice,”

“What?” Daniel did not expect his father to blurt out this sentence.

‘What did he mean? What has this matter got to do with my retirement?’ Daniel thought.

‘TH let Nicole explain.” Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed helplessly.’ Daniel was too kind-hearted, and his personality doesn’t suit the business industry.’

Daniel still looked confused, but Mr. Riddle Sr. stood up and said, “Come, eat dinner with me.”

“Alright,” Nicole agreed. She stood up and helped Mr. Riddle Sr. to the dining room.

Shaking his head with a chuckle, Daniel followed them. The family had a simple dinner. During the dinner, no one mentioned Damien and Dillon, only casually chit-chatting about the matters of the headquarters.

“Well, what do you know? We needed you to manage Riddle Corporation after all.” Mr. Riddle Sr. nodded in satisfaction.

“Grandpa, Sean’s doing a great job too.” Nicole smiled with a bright face. Mr. Riddle Sr. was stunned and soon

understood Nicole’s meaning. He could not help but tease her. “You cheeky girl. Are you planning to slack off?”

“I could assist Sean,” Nicole said naturally.

Seeing that Nicole had made up her mind, Mr. Riddle Sr.

pondered before saying, “Sean is indeed suitable.”

In Mr. Riddle Sr.’s heart, his best candidate was no doubt, Nicole. Yet, if Nicole did not want to inherit the Riddle family, Sean would be the strongest and most capable person to take charge among others.

“Don’t worry, Grandpa. You once said you would give the inheritance to the one who is most capable. Sean naturally got it with his skills,” Nicole said, her eyes full of confidence.

They had to make it evident that it was based on merit and allow others to embrace it voluntarily since they could not leave their opponents with an excuse. Strength and capability were the sole acceptable qualification for achieving it.

“Sean does have the capability, but…” Mr. Riddle Sr. paused and said hesitantly, “You already made such a decision to step off the position, so why did you leave everyone else to misunderstand you?”

If Nicole clearly stated that she was not interested in the inheritance, the others would definitely not find any trouble for her. Nicole shrugged indifferently. “It’s the same. Are you saying I should stay out of it by shifting the attention to Sean?”

Chapter 2143

“I won’t. No matter who it was among us, or who would continue the family name. We would help each other in time of need instead of going against each other.”

But then again, having to fool everyone wasn’t a nice move as I’m not exactly the most favored by everyone here.

Realizing how Sean came out to help me, the chances of winning are now higher than ever.’

To Nicole, the Riddle family could live up to their names due to her and her brothers. Other than that, she could not envision what the Riddle family would turn out to be if it were to fall into the hands of others.

Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole in satisfaction, with a hint of regret in his eyes. ‘Only someone like her could pass down the family name. This is a blessing to our family. It’s a shame she doesn’t see the glory in it.’

“Dad, since the kids are still young and you’re still in tip top shape, it’s still too early to put things into perspective. We can discuss this in the future.” Daniel comforted Mr. Riddle Sr.

Everyone in the room understood that Nicole was his favorite, but they also knew that Nicole was unwilling to bear all these burdens of responsibilities, and wanted to live her life as she wishes to.

“Whether it’s now or later, it’s not up for you to decide.” Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed helplessly, oblivious to the others who had already initiated their plots.

Mr. Riddle Sr. turned to glance at Nicole, his face filled with some unsaid worry.

Nicole looked at Mr. Riddle Sr. with a calm look. “Don’t worry Grandpa, I can protect myself well enough. Also, I have so many people taking care of me.”

Nicole was not afraid of anything, the attention of her uncles had entirely shifted to her, which brought out a stronger advantage for Nicole. She wanted to see the reactions of her uncles when they heard that Sean would inherit the family business.

“Jared can protect you too,” said Mr. Riddle Sr. Nicole was already used to people mentioning Jared’s name around her, so it was natural for Mr. Riddle Sr. to mention his too.

The corners of Nicole’s lips twitched. ‘I meant to say the brothers of mine… but something tells me that I should keep my mouth shut and it isn’t something to be easily explained. Otherwise, another round of misunderstandings could happen again.’

Nicole had not announced her memory loss to the world. Only her family knew about it so in the public eye, both Jared and her were still the loving couple they had come to know of. Only Nicole herself was aware of the reality of things behind closed doors.

“Dad, it’s getting late. We’re going to head back now. You should rest.” Daniel could not wait to get out of there, eager to set things straight with Nicole.

Mr. Riddle Sr. immediately understood Daniel and watched as they left.

“It’s fortunate that there’s one with brains,” said Mr. Riddle Sr. with a smile.

“Mr. Riddle Sr., it’s obvious that Ms. Riddle’s capable of handling the company.” Alfred’s voice echoed.

“Especially since she has the Fire Crest, her competence is certainly unmatched by others.”

Mr. Riddle Sr. went upstairs to rest with a peace of mind.

Meanwhile, Daniel and Nicole left in a car together.

“Nicole, what happened to your uncles? What did your grandpa mean?” Daniel asked, not able to withstand his curiosity.

Nicole confessed, “What Grandpa meant was to ignore this issue. Since both Damien and Dillon had already ruined their own reputations, they won’t stop doing so…”

Til only stop if they stop.’

Daniel heard Nicole’s explanation and immediately understood the situation. And just like that, the matter was pushed behind the back of their minds, where neither of them had the need to bring it back up.

Daniel thought, ‘Damien and Dillon both should know the weight and cost of their actions.’

“I was beginning to wonder why Grandpa said retiring was a good idea,” said Daniel in a sigh of relief.

In their minds, Nicole was a more suitable fit to run the company more than anyone else in the family.

 

Chapter 2144

“I’m not saying that I’m incompetent, but sometimes, your dad here is a little too soft-hearted.”

‘When a person is too kind-hearted, it becomes a weakness where other people can easily manipulate and step over.’

Meanwhile, Damien had returned to his residence.

Everett had received a call earlier from Mr. Riddle Sr., which gave her the idea that her grandpa knew something regarding the matter.

Everett saw her father had returned and said, “Dad, why did Grandpa call us over? Is there something going on?”

“It wasn’t Grandpa. It was your Uncle Dillon.” Damien’s face turned dark when he mentioned Dillon’s name.

Everett was confused. “Uncle Dillon?”

Damien was fuming, his eyes turned darker as he talked about Dillon’s problems.

“He was caught red handed?”

Dillon had completed everything cautiously, nobody even knew what he was up to, even Damien was unable to lay his hands on Nicole. So, the matter now appears to be not as easy as it seems though Damien had not done anything.

“I only know what’s happening. I saw him take out the so- called evidence, I don’t know if he had obtained it illegally or

not. So, for as long as we don’t admit to it, it has nothing to do with us.” Damien snorted.

“Dad, why do I feel like this is a bit weird?” Everett frowned involuntarily. Her eyes gradually became darker.

“What do you mean?” Damien asked, immediately becoming wary.

“I can’t put it. I just feel a little strange about this… I’ll have someone to check regarding this matter.”

“You have to be careful about this. Your uncle could be keeping tabs on you,” Damien told his daughter, 1

Damien thought, ‘I think Dillon might have caught onto something. Otherwise how would he have noticed Everett’s movements? I think we should be more cautious in making moves in the future.’

Everette agreed. “I know. Ever since this matter, our family and Uncle Dillon’s family have been underfire.”

‘I wonder what everyone’s thinking about right now. I wonder if we all know what the other person is already thinking of, yet we’re being more cautious of each other. Our original plans of killing two birds with one stone went down the drain. Nicole ended up unscathed and so did Dillon, but I ended up being the target of the public. The more I think, the odder it is now that the direction of the plan has been redirected…’ Dillon’s eyes darkened as he thought about it.

At the Riddle Residence, both Nicole and her father had arrived home. The members of the Riddle family were waiting for them in the living room. Nicole noticed that

Jared, Nolan, and Lana were not present. ‘They must be upstairs.’

“They’re back!” Gloria breathed out a sigh of relief when she saw Nicole and Daniel walk in.

“Grandpa asked us to stay over for dinner, so that’s why we’re late today,” explained Nicole, as both Nicole and her father took a seat on the sofa.

“How was it?” Samuel asked, looking at Nicole worriedly.

“It’s no biggie. There’s nothing for you to worry about anymore,” said Daniel as he took a good look at his sons.

Chapter 2145

“It’s nothing. It’s regarding your Uncle Damien and Dillon. Both Dad and I just went over to have dinner with Grandpa,” Nicole explained to her whole family, to reassure them.

Nicole felt that it would be better to leave out the important parts, just so everyone could have a peace of mind and save herself from all the complicated explanations.

“Oh, that’s a relief.”

“Thank goodness it was nothing serious.”

A few of them let out a sigh of relief, all thinking the same thing. ‘As long as Nicole is okay, nothing else matters.’

“It’s late now. Let’s all go to bed,” announced Daniel as he looked at Gloria, ushering her to go with him. “Let’s go.”

“Okay.” Gloria followed her husband upstairs.

Once their parents had left, Stanley turned to look at Nicole to confirm that there was nothing seriously wrong with Nicole before speaking up, “Okay, let’s go too.”

Soon everyone had made their way up the stairs and into their respective rooms. Nicole went over to Nolan’s room and saw that he was busy on his computer while Jared was playing with Lana with her Barbie dolls.

Being such a cold guy himself and seeing him like this, helping Lana choose a hairpin for her Barbie doll that were no bigger than his fingertips,’ Nicole thought to herself as she watched the Barbie dolls being placed in her palm which gave her a sentimental feeling.

“Daddy, I want the pink one,” Lana said in a cute voice.

Jared obediently handed a pink hairpin over to Lana, not withdrawing his caring look away from Lana dressing up her Barbie doll.

It was an unusual sight. A smile flashed before Nicole’s eyes.

“Mommy.” Nolan called out, being the first to notice Nicole’s presence, before reaching out to turn off his computer and walked toward Nicole.

Nicole rubbed Nolan’s head before smiling. “Are you doing your missions?”

“No, I was just browsing.” Nolan looked up and said proudly, “My rank has improved a lot.”

Nicole looked at Nolan adoringly. “Okay, I know. I believe you’ll soon surpass me.”

“I’ll work harder!” Nolan vigorously nodded his head, looking determined.

“Mommy, I also want to be like Nolan. I want to catch up to Mommy too,” said Lana as she walked over.

“Alright, both of you can work hard and make both Mommy and Daddy proud.” Nicole smiled happily while thinking,’ These two are one of the greatest gifts life has ever given me.’

Jared soon came over to see Nicole with their two children, he also could not help but feel blessed to have all of them gathered, safe and sound.

“Mommy, I’m tired,” said Lana in a tired voice as she rubbed her eyes.

“Let’s get you in bed.” Jared picked up Lana in his arms and brought her to her room.

Nicole looked down at Nolan and Nolan understood immediately. “I’m going to sleep too. Good night, Mommy.”

Nicole helped to tuck Nolan into bed, waiting for him to fall asleep. Once Nolan was asleep, Nicole turned off the lights before she left the room.

Coincidentally, Lana had also fallen asleep at the same time. Both Jared and Nicole came out of their rooms at the same time. They looked at each other. Nicole smiled unconsciously.

Jared walked over and held Nicole’s hand. “Let’s get some rest. The kids have a parent-child sports day tomorrow. You promised you’d go.”

“Yeah, I know.” Nicole did not forget her promise with the twins. She did not want to disappoint them. Soon, they arrived at the door of their bedroom, and Nicole suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Jared turned to look at her and smirked. Without hesitation, he pulled her into the room. Nicole was still nervous about the incident yesterday. Jared, on the other hand, did not expect for the scene to go out of control, making a mental note to keep things in control the next time.

‘I keep forgetting that she has no recollection of what we were before. I can’t be too hasty and scare her,’ thought Jared.

After entering the room, Jared reassured Nicole.

“Don’t worry. I will try my best to control myself this time,” said Jared with a hint of tease in his voice.
