Ch. 2336..2340: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2336-2340

Chapter 2336

“What are you in a rush for? Haven’t you gotten your dream of being a flower girl fulfilled?” Nolan snapped.

Nolan knew that his godfather, Lawrence, stood no chance with his mother at this rate, but when he heard that Jared was going to marry Nicole, he could not help but be on guard.

“Even if I don’t get to be the flower girl, I still hope that mommy and Daddy will get married earlier,” Lana refuted, shooting a frown at Nolan.

“They’re not even in a hurry to get married, so why are you?” Nolan pouted.

In reply, Lana exclaimed, “That is all the more why I should be!”

‘If I’m not worried about when mommy and Daddy will get married, then this wedding is going to take forever!’ Lana thought to herself.

“Hey. Stop bickering and eat your breakfast.” Gloria stepped in, diverting the attention of the twins.

Everyone wanted Nicole and Jared to hold their wedding as soon as possible, but at this very moment, no one dared to bring it up as it was up to them to decide.

“Come, let’s all dig in.” Spencer and Stanley, who had just arrived, quickly sat down and began to eat.

The Riddle family were all in attendance as they ate their breakfast in peace while chatting happily about Spencer and Samuel’s wedding.

After breakfast was over, everyone left to go about their daily routines. Meanwhile, Gloria picked the phone up and called Emma to ask if she wanted to help her plan the wedding.

Without hesitation, Emma agreed, “This is double the fun. Okay, I’ll come over in a jiffy.”

“Okay then. I’ll wait for you here.” Gloria grinned ear to ear as she hung up.

Then, she shot a glance at Daniel. “Emma agreed. She’s going to come over in a bit.”

Daniel nodded, feeling reassured. “Okay. It’s good to see that she wants to help out.”

Gloria then began listing out the things she needed to do for the wedding. “Samuel’s injury might need upto two months to recover completely. I think it’s enough time for us both to plan and prepare for the wedding. You can inform Mr. Riddle Sr. of what’s happening. Lulu and June have yet to meet him in person. We have to ask them if they would like to have dinner with him.”

Hearing this, Daniel reminded, “I think it is best if we refrain from intervening too much and get Spencer and Samuel to inform them directly. They might be embarrassed if we ask them to.”

Gloria nodded before she hesitantly said, “True. Then we’ll leave this matter for them to settle. However, they will still have to pay him a visit at least once.”

“What?” Daniel asked in confusion.

Gloria gave Daniel a blank look, “We have to prepare some gifts for them. Consider it a token from our family.”

‘They can’t just get married without informing the family, I mean. It’s rude to not visit the elders and host a wedding so abruptly,’ Gloria thought.

“Oh. Yes! Why didn’t I think of it!” Daniel snapped back to his senses after giving it some thought.

Gloria shook her head. “Okay. I’ll sort these things out with Emma when she arrives. She’ll be of much help as compared to you. Why don’t you visit the family manor?”

“Sure. I’ll leave this to you. If there’s anything you need me to do, just holler!” Daniel finished.

It was a family event, and thus, everyone had to be involved in one way or another.

With that said, Gloria smiled. “Okay.”

Not long after, Daniel left to visit the family manor while Gloria continued her planning as she waited for Emma to arrive.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Riddle Corporation, Nicole had just arrived when Steve came striding into her office. “I heard that there are some good things happening.”

“The news reached you quite quickly, huh? Did you install some surveillance cameras at home or something?” Nicole teased.

 

Chapter 2337

-In response, Steve shrugged, “No, I actually bumped into Stanley earlier and he told me about it. I guess it’s going to be quite busy for the entire family.”

“Yeah. Mom and Dad are over the moon right now.” Nicole sighed as she recalled the beaming smiles on her parents’ faces.

Steve nodded. “If they haven’t been putting this off, I think they should have been done with these wedding preparations early on.”

‘It was not easy for them to put things on hold until now, given the circumstances,’ Steve thought.

Nicole darted her eyes at Steve. “Did you come here to tell me this?”

“No, there are other things.” He smiled.

Then, in a low voice, he said, “Everett is really trying to investigate the family assets. He’s covering it up by searching for two missing painters while he’s going crazy just to acquire more information about the family’s assets.”

“He won’t find it. However, one thing is for sure. He will definitely mark us as the suspects,” Nicole replied with a frown.

Sean had already removed each and every trace so that Everett would wind up in a dead end in his search for more information. However, Nicole was adamant that Everett and Damien would be able to dredge something out in the end.

“They can suspect us as much as they want. All I know is, they don’t have any solid evidence to come at us,” Steve said, his voice icy and low.

“Apparently, there’s nothing much but honestly, I’m quite worried that they won’t stop,” Nicole continued.

‘I know Everett and Damien can be quite stubborn, but they definitely aren’t the type to sit idly by and take it all lying down,’ she thought.

Steve smirked, “For now, they don’t have anything against us, but it’s expected that Dillon will suffer a little.”

Damien’s circumstances might prove to be a disadvantage due to how limited his influence is. However, I’m worried they might plot against Dillon to secure DillCorp just so that they can have another go at us,’ Nicole thought.

“The situation over at Snow’s side seems to be rather favorable.”

Nicole’s eyes darkened as DillCorp was brought up. ‘Harvey had put the operations on hold for a while, but they should resume soon.’

“If they really are going to make a move, what should we do? ” Steve asked as DillCorp might be at risk of being lost to Ellison Group.

Nicole smirked. “Let’s just wait and see what happens. Don’t forget that we still have Raine.”

We ought to get them to start a mess first. All we have to do is ensure that DillCorp does not end up in the hands of either Damien or Harvey,’ Nicole thought.

Steve shrugged in response. “Okay. Let’s watch and see how it plays out when they make their first move.”

Then, Steve chatted with Nicole for a while longer before sauntering out of the office to get back to work.

Nicole picked up the document on her desk and began working. Meanwhile, at DillCorp, Raine was leaning against her chair with a sullen look on her face, apparently lost in her thoughts.

Suddenly, the door of her office busted open, and James Harlow came storming in.

“There’s literally no news about the family manor,” James informed in a low voice.

“How is it that there’s no news at all?” Raine was confused.1 This is a very important document. How can it just go missing with no traces left to be found. This is way too suspicious.’

James then continued with a frown, “Oh yeah. Everett is also looking into this matter while the other three are not doing anything at all.”

Chapter 2338

“I’m not sure.” James shook his head. “I have no idea if they didn’t care enough for it, or they stopped investigating, since they can’t find anything.”

Confused and pale, Raine asked. “But how will they explain anything to Grandpa if they stopped investigating?”

“Steve is keeping an eye on Everett. Perhaps he’ll present a set of results similar to Everett’s. As for Preston and Ellar, they’re all good for nothing,” James explained.

However, he was still puzzled as he wondered what these people had in mind if they had chosen not to investigate the matter.

This caused Raine to lash out. “How could they not do as they’re told?”

Feeling that it was a great opportunity to cause some havoc, James asked, “Should we tell Grandpa?”

“No, not yet,” Raine shook her head. “Damien is currently the biggest suspect. Maybe they can come across some discoveries by monitoring Everett.”

Raine knew that Preston would be of no use, as well as Ellar. She thought that it would be best for them to do nothing and wait to see what would unfold. If she spilled the beans now, she might just end up stirring a beast into action.

“Alright then,” James agreed reluctantly after Raine had decided on their next course of action.

“We should wait for news from the Riddle manor,” Raine ended the topic, feeling miffed by the situation.

Then, James paused and whispered, “Snow might be up to something.”

“What have you heard?” Raine asked, her expression darkening.

“Snow has been making progress with Harvey. Both of them are often featured in the headlines of the news. Rumors

have it that something great will happen,” James said with a meaningful glint in his eyes.

“Tsk. She’s still so naive after all these years,” Raine scorned.

In Raine’s eyes, Snow was daydreaming. ‘If Harvey really liked Snow, how is it that he had not acted in these past five years? Besides, I have not noticed any passionate enthusiasm from Harvey toward Snow. If anything, Snow seems to be the one who’s clinging onto Harvey.’

“But with Harvey by her side, Snow had indeed attained a higher position in the company. One can even argue that she overshadows you,” James said, feeling a little irritated.

“She has Harvey to back her up now, and a lot of people are still hoping to strike a deal with the Ellison Group,” he finished.

At this juncture, DillCorp was still a second-rate company due to its sorry state of affairs. Everyone in DillCorp had hoped that there would be projects from Ellison Group. That way, it could potentially move up by a tier or two.

Raine gritted her teeth in resentment, her face blanching. She was furious as she thought about the notion of losing everything she had worked so hard to gain to Snow.

She gritted her teeth and said, “No, I won’t let this go her way.”

All of them were influential figures during their days at Royal Creek Institute. Nicole was now with Jared, and Snow had found Harvey. In comparison, Raine was reduced to marrying an ill-esteemed outcast of a third rate family, something which she did not feel good about.

Raine was still tolerant of the idea of Snow getting together with Harvey. After all, Snow was still her sister, and would help Raine when needed. However, now that Snow had also gotten into the company, Raine would be left with nothing if the former managed to take over.

The more Raine thought about it, the sourer her grimace became. She resented the current situation, and with that in mind, she decided that she would never allow Snow to take the company over.

“What’s in your mind?” James asked in a low voice after noticing Raine’s silence.

Chapter 2339

“Get someone to keep an eye on Snow…” Raine said, suddenly interrupted as someone knocked on the door.

That was when she turned her gaze to the door and announced, “Come in.”

The secretary entered, saying, “There’s mail for you, Miss Riddle.”

“A mail? Who sent it?” Raine asked while eyeing the envelope in her secretary’s hand.

Then, her secretary placed the mail down and explained,” There are no signatures or contact numbers on it.”

The only information on the envelope was the name of the receiver: Raine. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

Thus, the receptionist had initially hesitated before inquiring about Raine’s secretary, worried that the envelope was of some measure of importance. Because of this, she had gotten someone to send it to Raine.

“Alright, you can leave,” Raine sent her secretary out, her mind filled with doubts. She could not ascertain what that mysterious envelope was all about. Until she could figure it out, she did not want anyone else to know.

After picking it up, Raine carefully examined it, finding nothing but her name on it.

“This wasn’t mailed through a courier. Someone had sent it over directly,” James observed.

“The person wanted to remain anonymous,” Raine opened the envelope, having understood the sender’s intentions.

When she found a few documents inside, she proceeded to take them out. It was obvious that the sender had chosen this approach just so that they could maintain their privacy.

Raine read the details on the documents and the look on her face shifted at an instant. Her shock was visible as her eyes widened.

“What’s wrong?” James asked, noticing Raine’s expression.

“Harvey and Everett…are colluding,” Raine struggled to string together a complete sentence.

The news shocked Raine greatly. This revelation had made her wonder how genuine Harvey and Snow’s relationship might be, as Harvey and Everett were working together instead.

While Damien’s family and Dillion’s family had severed ties with one another on the surface as of recent, they had been at each other’s throats for a long time now. With that said, Raine could only attempt to deduce the reason behind Harvey’s action.

“Harvey approached Snow for DillCorp!” James exclaimed, realizing the seriousness of the matter.

His face paled, finding it hard to believe the ambitions that Damien’s family had.

“This can’t be allowed to do that. I have to tell Dad,” Raine stood up, intent on looking for Dillion.

However, James held her back and warned, “Calm down. You might startle the enemy.”

“We can’t afford to wait any longer. By then, it will be too late!” Raine was anxious, worried that Harvey had already made his move.

“Dad may not believe you if you confront him without any solid evidence. And if Harvey finds out about it, we will be rendered powerless in that situation,” James explained.

He feared that they would not be able to stand against Harvey without an ace up his sleeve.

Fortunately, James’ analysis calmed Raine, who then asked, “What then?”

“Since we’ve received the news, it’s up to us to find a solution,” James said, his eyes dark and cold.

“What solution?” Raine pressed.

Without a proper plan of action, Raine would not go out on a limb and act on pure impulse.

“Since Harvey and Everett have set their sights on DillCorp, why don’t we…”

After listening to James’ plan, Raine slowly settled down, and eventually, she flashed him a smile. “That’s great. Let’s do it your way. Sure enough, your ideas are always great.”

“I’ll make the arrangements. All you have to do is pretend as if you’re oblivious to the situation,” James explained.

Raine nodded. “I got it.”

After the couple had worked out a plan, James threw the envelope into the shredder.

 

Chapter 2340

At three in the afternoon, the sun was scorching hot, and the summer heat had not abated in the slightest.

Just then, Nicole came out of the office building of Riddle Corporation and got in the car with Lulu in tow.

“What made you want to visit Mr. Ellison?” Lulu asked.

Nicole had yet to recover her memories, so technically, she should have no impression of Mr. Ellison.

“I met Harvey the other day, and he tested me,” Nicole explained, wanting to clear her suspicions by paying a visit to Mr. Ellison and talking to him.

“He’s so cunning!” Lulu rolled her eyes and muttered in frustration.

Nicole sighed in response. “Well, you’ve beaten me to it.”

Harvey was no ordinary man. Nicole had always gotten a strange feeling from him. Harvey seemed normal on the outside, but Nicole felt there was a sense of malevolence in his eyes. Even when Harvey was smiling, it would seem blank, almost devoid of emotions.

“Lulu, what happened to the Ellison family in the past five years?” Nicole asked.

“I’m not sure about the specifics. All I know is that Harvey has been crowned the head of the family. Now, he is also fully in charge of the Ellison Group. As for Mr. Ellison, he’s

just a principal now,” Lulu carefully recalled the sequence of events about Harvey.

“Harvey’s journey of success has been so effortless. He’s now the head of his family and company. Shouldn’t he be happy?” Nicole wondered, unable to figure out the reason for the feeling of gloom she

felt emanating from Harvey.

“Speaking of which, Harvey has indeed changed from the previous school hunk he used to be. It’s hard to put into words. It’s like you know this person, but there’s an indescribable sense of strangeness. It’s like you’ve never really known him,” Lulu explained.

Nicole agreed, as she had the exact feeling. Although she did not recognize Harvey, she could still tell that he did not convey a good impression. Thus, Nicole could understand what Lulu was saying.

As they were talking, the car stopped, and Nicole gazed off at the cafe across Royal Creek Institute before taking Lulu out of the car with her.

Upon entering the cafe, everything inside seemed to evoke a sense of familiarity. Although she could not remember anything, this place somehow felt dear to her.

“Mr. Johnston hadn’t visited this place since the day you went missing. He had only arranged for someone to take care of it,” Lulu explained in a whisper.

Thinking back, Jared had always made coffee for Nicole. He had even spent a great deal of time at this place.

Nicole and Lulu.

The two then ordered coffee and waited for Mr. Ellison.

Their appointment was at three-thirty, so Mr. Ellison should be arriving soon.

“You’ve finally decided to remember this old man after you’ve been back for so long,” an elderly man suddenly teased while approaching the table.

Looking up, Nicole saw Mr. Ellison. Though weathered and aged, he still exuded a friendly and calm air about him.

“Mr. Ellison,” Nicole and Lulu greeted. “Please, have a seat.”

After sitting down, Mr. Ellison sized Nicole up. “You haven’t changed much.”

“Neither have you,” Nicole replied. “We’ve ordered you coffee, though I’m not sure if your taste has changed or not.”

“Hahaha,” Mr. Ellison chuckled heartily. “Old habits die hard. My taste won’t change easily.”

Mr. Ellison did not expect Nicole to remember the coffee he liked, and because of this, he felt a sense of warmth deep within.
