Ch. 2231..2235: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2231-2235

Chapter 2231

It was evident that Nicole was not really interested to get to know how Snow and Harvey’s relationship was progressing. Instead, she was interested to know about their collaboration together. Nicole understood clearly that if DillCorp took the project, the head office would more or less receive some impact.

‘I suspect that DillCorp eyed this project purposely, knowing that if I were to participate too, they won’t have much luck securing this opportunity.’

“Okay, that’s enough for today. Let’s get back to work,” said Nicole, feeling refreshed after their mini gossip session.

Lulu hesitated for a while before speaking up in a muffled voice. “Nicole, what would you do if you were to meet Harvey?”

‘Should this be considered an old friend reunion, or an old nemesis gathering?’ Nicole thought to herself.

“What can I do? Hit him?” Nicole retorted.

‘If I can’t hit him, then what’s the point? I’ll treat him like a stranger if all else fails.’

Lulu busted out in laughter. “Well, that’s an idea. I’ll help you beat him up.”

Lulu knew Nicole was joking. There was no way Nicole would hit Harvey unless he asked for it by provoking her.

Lulu was proud that she had received such big news to share with Nicole. Lulu looked satisfied with her job well done.

Nicole shook her head and chuckled. ‘This girl is really something.’

Nicole went back to her desk and started going through her files.

Meanwhile, at DillCorp. Snow sat at her desk going through the project folder in her hands. The expression on her face exposed her excitement.

Tve finally gotten my hands on this project. Now, I’ll finally have the chance to get closer to Harvey. If it weren’t for that b*tch Nicole that changed everything and took what belonged to me…’ Snow gritted her teeth. She was dead set on winning Harvey’s heart.

‘Once I become his wife, I’ll no longer be looked down on by everyone else. I’ll make Nicole pay for everything that she’s done to me.’

An assistant of Snow’s entered the room and informed, “Ms. Riddle, the project partner has sent someone over for the meeting.”

Snow’s eyes lit up. She stood up immediately and said, “Let him in.”

“Yes, Ms. Riddle.” The assistant turned around to let the guest in.

Soon after, a young and beautiful looking woman stepped in the room.

Snow could not help but frown. “Who are you?”

“I’m Mr. Ellison’s secretary. I’m here to discuss the project details with you.” She placed a piece of document onto the table and proudly said, “Mr. Ellison had made some minor changes to the project plans. This is the revised version. Mr. Ellison hopes that we can proceed with this version as soon as possible.”

“Where’s Harvey?” Snow refused to accept that Harvey had not gone to her personally.

Mr. Ellison’s secretary gave Snow a side eye and said,” Please, doing your part is sufficient for us. The affairs of Mr. Ellison aren’t something for you to question about.” After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away in swaying strides.

Snow fumed. She gritted her teeth as she glared at the back of the secretary’s head, feeling humiliated.

‘How dare a low life secretary treat me like this! When I become your boss’s wife, the first thing I’ll do is to fire you!’

“Ms. Riddle, this project is very important to our company. We should quickly plan and align on this and revert it back to them as soon as possible.” Snow’s assistant urged after noticing that Snow had been silent for a while.

“I know,” Snow said with a tone of disapproval. This project was equally important to Snow. It was her last shot to get closer to Harvey.

Snow frowned as she opened the revised plans. Then, she tossed the document at her assistant. “Take care of this according to their requirements.”

“Yes, Ms. Riddle,” said the assistant, taking the file.

Snow sulked. ‘He didn’t come here personally. I have to find a way to meet him in person. Otherwise, my chances will be gone.

Chapter 2232

The sun was setting in the horizon when Jared arrived at Riddle Corporation to pick Nicole up. Nicole just happened to step out of the office then. Jared got out of the car and opened the door for Nicole.

“You’re here.” Seeing him, Nicole started walking towards Jared with a smile on her face.

“Nicole, I’ll get going now,” Lulu said with a smile. She gave them a teasing look and ran off.

Nicole rolled her eyes at Lulu and shouted, “Don’t you worry! Spencer will pick you up later!”

“Don’t make fun of me!”

After Lulu left, Nicole turned around and followed Jared into the car.

“I have to go to the hospital first,” she said.

Jared nodded and replied, “Sure.”

Jared knew how much Nicole wanted to visit Samuel. Soon, they both arrived at the hospital. Samuel was unable to move by himself, but he was allowed to move around using a wheelchair.

At that time, Samuel was having dinner with June in his hospital room. Both of them were surprised to see Nicole and Jared walk in.

“What brings you guys here?”

“To see you, of course.” Nicole placed the fruit basket she was holding down and noted, “You look much better now.”

“Yeah, I think I’ll be able to get discharged in a few days’ time,” said Samuel, smiling.

“That’s great news! Mom will be relieved when she hears this.”

‘Living in the hospital feels like things are serious. I to go home,’ thought Samuel.

“I’ll get discharged as soon as possible. Tell her not to worry so much about me,” Samuel said without hesitation. He knew that he would only worry his family by staying too long in the hospital. On top of that, June had been staying by his side taking care of him.

‘Once I get discharged, June won’t have to take

June glanced at Samuel before biting her lip, suddenly falling silent. She furrowed her eyebrows, before something flashed in her eyes as if she understood something.

“It’s great to be able to leave the hospital but you would still need someone to take care of you when you’re home. Who will take care of you then?” Nicole asked suggestively.

“Don’t we have Alfred at home? I don’t need anyone to specially take care of me when I’m at home. I can handle it

myself,” said Samuel, without much thought.

“The doctor specifically said that you should rest and take care of your injury for the next three months.” Nicole shot Samuel a look, but he seemed to not catch her meaning, giving her a blank expression.

‘Such a good opportunity for him… How can he not grab this opportunity? Can’t he see that June is obviously worried sick about him and all that she wants to do is to take care of him?

‘If June takes this opportunity to take care of Samuel, I bet by the end of it all, they’d get together and then marriage would soon be on the table. This is a foolproof plan, but this idiot is too oblivious.’

“I’ll just go back home and lay around.” Samuel had no intention of having a caretaker, and still insisted he did not need one.

Nicole was fuming in frustration, to the point of giving up on helping him. ‘He can live alone in old age for all I care. I’ve helped him enough. He’s too dense.’

Chapter 2233

“Don’t worry about it, Nicole. I can take care of him,” June said, finally speaking up.

June was over the moon when she heard that Samuel was going to get discharged soon. She was happy for him but at the same time she worried about him.

‘If no one can take care of Samuel by then, knowing his restless personality, he’s bound to get into trouble if anything were to happen,’ she thought.

“I’m sorry we have to trouble you with babysitting him,” said Nicole. She did not have high hopes for Samuel, so she agreed on his behalf.

“But, if she has to take care of me, where will she stay?” Samuel frowned, feeling a little discomfort.

‘This is what I was afraid of. Tension in the air.’ Nicole mentally cussed out Samuel in her mind. ‘Why is he so stupid? Why can’t he just agree, instead of asking questions like these? June has a two-bedroom apartment. Why is he concerned about this?’

Knowing the current situation at the Riddle’s, June answered after pondering a while, “Then we can stay at my place.”

“I think that’s fine with us,” Nicole agreed, knowing that June was a trustworthy person. Mentally, she let out a huge sigh of relief. ‘Thank goodness we have one with brains. I don’t know how he does it, having her stick by his side. They must be destined.’

After staying with Samuel and June for a while, Nicole and Jared left the hospital, got in the car, and headed towards the Riddle residence.

“You know they can and could stay at the Riddle residence. We can always go back to our place,” Jared said. Looking at Nicole, his eyes darkened a little.

Ever since Nicole had returned, they had been living at the Riddle residence ever since. Jared had been wanting to have some alone time with Nicole and his little family.

Nicole shook her head. “This matter is between Nolan and Lana who have yet to get accustomed to this place. If they want to live with us, then if they get seen, it would be problematic for all of us.”

It was impossible for Nicole to leave the twins at the Riddle residence alone. They had to live with Nicole. Jared raised his eyebrow subtly, a smile flashing across his face.

‘She didn’t refuse when I said we ought to return to living at our place. She only contemplated our kids as a factor.

Which means that she’s already accepted us living together.’

“Once it’s done, we can move back in at our own place,” said Jared hopefully with a subtle smile.

Nicole’s cheeks flushed red as she rolled her eyes at Jared.” Who wants to go back with you? Go by yourself.”

“Of course, by right, my wife should be coming back with me, ” Jared said as he held Nicole tightly in an embrace, not wanting to let her go.

Nicole tried to break free from his grasp but failed. She suddenly stopped struggling and looked up at Jared. “Didn’t you say that it’ll be after the matter is done? Why are you so prepared for it?”

The thought of Nolan and Lana being exposed to the public had made Nicole panic. Nicole had assigned Tia to help send and pick up the kids from school, to ensure that no one picks up the idea that

Nicole and Jared had children. Ever since then, Nicole had never appeared at the kindergarten again as she waited for the matter to die down. She had to go through a lot of trouble to ensure that nobody would pay any attention to both Nolan and Lana.

As a mother, it was heart-wrenching for her to keep her kids a secret. Being unable to send and pick her kids up from school had already taken a toll on her. Additionally, Jared’s input earlier had made her think that Jared was done living in isolation from the public eye.

Jared’s lips twitched slightly. “You’ll know very soon.”

Nicole was surprised. “Why are you being so mysterious? What exactly are you planning?”

‘This is a little frustrating to deal with. What’s he planning to do?’

Jared softly pinched her arm and said in a gentle voice, “It’s a surprise, so I can’t tell you.”

Nicole scoffed, shooting Jared a blank look. Nicole was

sure that Jared would not joke about the kids. Thus she was more curious than worried. Nicole did not pursue an answer, knowing that it would go nowhere.

Soon, three days went by in a blink of an eye.

Chapter 2234

In the midst of the hustle, everything still seemed normal and progressed slowly.

As usual, the whole city was bustling, and the people on the streets were all rushing to their own destinations.

Jared sent Nicole to the Riddle Corporation as per routine.

Just as Nicole got out of the car, Lawrence’s car appeared and came to a halt beside them.

Nicole looked at Lawrence with shock. “Leo, what are you doing here? Is something going on?”

It was supposed to be working hours, so why would Lawrence appear there at that moment?

“rm here to see you.” Lawrence’s tone was calm, as if there was nothing going on. But when he turned his gaze to Jared, it was dark.

In fact, Lawrence was actually in a bad mood. So, he wanted to find a place and take a breather. But the only place he could go was where Nicole was.

“Let’s head up then.” Nicole did not give it much thought and invited Lawrence to her office. Then, she turned back to Jared and said, “I’ll head up now. Bye.”

“I’ll pick you up when you’re done,” Jared reminded gently. Then, he turned his gaze to Lawrence, and it turned cold in an instant.

After glancing at Lawrence, Jared ordered Max, “Let’s go.”

“Alright.” Max started the car engine and left.

Seeing that the car had left, Nicole gestured to Lawrence.” Let’s go.” However, she noticed that Lawrence’s gaze was fixed on Jared’s car. He did not even react when Nicole called out to him.

“Leo?” Nicole raised her voice a little.

Lawrence came back to his senses and smiled. “Let’s go.”

After that, he walked into the office building first, acting as if he was not the one who was staring intently at Jared.

In a daze, Nicole blinked. ‘Why does it feel like something’s off? But looking at Lawrence, it seems like everything’s fine?’

Seeing Lawrence enter the building, Nicole put the thought away and followed after him.

Soon, both of them had reached the top floor. Coincidentally, they bumped into Sean and Steve there.

“Steve, Sean,” Nicole greeted them.

Both of them looked at Nicole. Then, they turned their gaze to Lawrence and questioned, “Do we have any recent partnership to discuss with Genesis Group?”

“No. Leo was just around the block and thought of visiting,” Nicole explained, smiling.

“Oh. We’re headed for our meeting then.” Steve glanced at Lawrence. Then, he walked off with Sean.

Nicole frowned a little as she stared at Sean and Steve who were leaving. ‘Why do I feel like something’s not right with them?’

“Am I holding you up?” Lawrence questioned doubtfully.

“No. That meeting doesn’t involve me.” Nicole came back to her senses and invited Lawrence into her office.

The secretary brought in their coffees. Then, Nicole gestured to Lawrence to drink some.

“You seem to have a liking for coffee since you came back here.” Lawrence took a sip and praised Nicole’s coffee.

“I’ve always loved coffee, but there was none I really loved while I was on the island.” Nicole held her coffee cup and sipped on it.

She recalled the day when Jared had just caught her. That day, Jared gave her a cup of coffee and mentioned that Nicole’s taste buds were still the same. Nicole’s eyes softened as she smiled unconsciously.

Chapter 2235

This coffee was specially prepared for her by Jared. In fact, Jared had also mentioned that all the coffees she drank previously were brewed by him.

Therefore, Nicole’s taste buds had been pampered with the best. How could she take in normal coffee anymore?

Hearing Nicole’s response, Lawrence narrowed his eyes and a hint of gloom flashed across his eyes.

He suddenly recalled Lana mentioning Jared and Nicole getting ready for their wedding. Lawrence felt even more annoyed.

He had tried his best to stop Nicole from returning to San Joto, and all of it failed. And now, they were already in such a situation.

“Nicole.” Lawrence’s voice was hoarse.

“Yes?” Noticing that Lawrence was not in a good mood, Nicole raised her eyebrow and looked at him questionably.’ Did anything happen? Why is he acting weird today?’

Lawrence smiled and asked casually, “I noticed that you’ve been really close to Jared these days. So, I’m curious if you’ve recalled anything from the past.”

Nicole shook her head, feeling shy. “No.”

She definitely did feel closer to Jared recently. Although her memory had not recovered, a lot of things seemed to be

less important already. After all, there was no way she could reject Jared if she were to follow her heart’s desire.

Lawrence felt as if a knife stabbed into his heart. His gaze turned cold briefly.

Sure enough, even without her memory, Nicole would still choose Jared. At the end of the day, Lawrence would not be able to gain anything.

Lawrence did not want to hear any more stories about the couple, so his eyes turned gloomy as he said, “Actually, I’m here to ask for your help.”

Hearing this, Nicole looked up at Lawrence. “Tell me.” If there was him, she would be more than happy to do so.

“I’ve taken over a project, but I’m facing some challenges recently. So, I may need some help. I’m not sure if your company could help me.” Lawrence spoke with a choke in his throat.

“What project is this?” Nicole became serious. If there was any project Lawrence, the problem must be a challenging one.

“Actually, it’s an overseas project. But I’ve been putting all my attention on Genesis Group, so I had no time to attend to that project. When I realized the problem, the capital source had been cut off. So, I’m in need of an investment partner now and I don’t really have many people who I could trust now.” Lawrence looked at Nicole and his eager gaze seemed to say that Nicole was the only trusted person.

Nicole bit her lip and paused for a moment before responding, “Well, if you’re just looking for investors, I could put some investment through my personal account. In the meantime, you can forget about asking the company to invest.”

If it was just to help him, Nicole felt that there was no need to use the Riddle Corporation’s fund. She could help him on her own accord.

When Lawrence successfully resolved this problem, she would not require any dividend. She could just take this as paying back for Lawrence’s help towards her in the past.

“Uh…” Lawrence narrowed his eyes. His initial intention was to pull the Riddle Corporation in.

Nicole smiled playfully. “What? You think that I’m not capable of helping you on my own accord?”

“Of course not.” Seeing that Nicole had made her decision, Lawrence could only accept it gratefully. “Alright then. If I can solve this problem, I’ll be sure to repay you.”

“There’s no need for that. After all, you’ve helped me a ton in the past.” Nicole smiled politely.

Lawrence gritted his teeth discreetly. He felt a sting in his heart again. ‘So, the reason why she agreed to help me is just because she wanted to return the favor.’

“Leo, you can ask Ian to contact me directly. I’ll get Lulu to transfer the money over,” Nicole told Lawrence, without noticing how he felt.

Lawrence instantly regained his composure in a split second and replied, “Alright.”

After sitting for a while, Lawrence got up and left.

Nicole did not give it much thought and soon shifted her focus to her work.

At that moment, Sean and Steve returned from their meeting.
