Ch. 2356..2360: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2356-2360
Chapter 2356
Harvey had no intention of letting Nicole go this time. He would not allow himself to miss out again.
Time passed, and three days went by in the blink of an eye. For the past few days, however, San Joto seemed unusually calm, a calmness that carried in it an eerie feeling.
As soon as Lulu arrived at the company building, she hurriedly entered Nicole’s office.
“Why has it been so quiet these few days? Is something wrong?” Lulu whispered with a frown.
Nicole’s eyes narrowed in response. ‘ Well, I’m afraid that it only seems so on the surface.”
The more peaceful things seemed to be, the more intense and chaotic it would be behind the scenes.
“Are they waiting for the perfect timing?” Lulu solemnly asked.
Such silence and tranquility had made Nicole uneasy.
Everyone was hiding in the shadows without making any moves at all. No one could predict when the enemy was going to make their move.
As such, Lulu was worried that Nicole would get involved or end up in danger.
With a single glance at Lulu’s expression, Nicole understood her right away.
Then, she bit her lips and said, “Harvey hasn’t made a move yet. It seems that he has noticed something. As for Everett, I’m pretty sure he’s waiting for the right time to strike.”
DillCorp was developing as Nicole expected. Everett
Nicole’s eyes darkened as a cold smirk crossed her face, thinking she might have underestimated Harvey.
Harvey’s inaction suggested that he knew something, and that he would definitely look into it. However, it was still unclear as to what information Harvey had gained and if the information pertained to Nicole at all.
Nicole, if it’s really like you said, do you handle it?” Lulu asked with a frown, uncertain of what Raine was capable of.
“That really depends on them,” Nicole s gaze grew darker.
It was a bad time for Nicole to make a move at this juncture. If Harvey was really snooping about, the slightest movement on Nicole s end might be discovered.
“Are you suggesting we do nothing? What if…’
‘If we just stand back and watch, what will happen to DillCorp if Raine and James end up losing to Harvey and Everett?’ she thought.
Regardless of whether DillCorp fell into either Everett
not be favorable for Nicole.
“Let’s observe first,” Nicole stated, knowing now was not the time to act. “We have no other choice,”
And after hearing Nicole’s response, Lulu knew there were no alternatives.
Then, Nicole smirked and comforted the anxious Lulu.” Don’t worry. I won’t go toe to toe with Harvey now. But if things ever spiral, I won’t mind drawing the first blood.”
Lulu chuckled awkwardly. “You’re right. I didn’t think about that.”
“Alright. If there’s nothing else, you can go back to work,” Nicole said with a smile.
Uh-huh.” Lulu turned around, but it was then that she recalled something, prompting her to ask, “Snow s been quiet recently. Do you think she is taking things too hard?”
They all felt that Snow would not have the courage to act, but the fact that they had not heard from her for days was a cause for suspicion.
“She won’t,” Nicole said with confidence.
She found Snow’s absence odd too, but she was sure that Snow would come around eventually.

“Where could she be? I heard Dillion has been searching for her,” Lulu said.
If anything, Dillion ought to be enraged with Snow because she almost cost DillCorp a significant amount of money.
“It’s alright. You’ll see. She II be back,” Nicole shrugged, feeling indifferent to it all.
In Nicole’s opinion, Snow would eventually show up, no matter how long she stayed in her hole. Snow’s absence only meant she was at a place where no one was keeping their eyes on. She would definitely not be staying in a hotel, as that was the easiest place for her to be caught. As such, she would most likely be holed up in a private house or a mobster’s hideout.
As things had happened so suddenly, Snow must have not brought enough money when she decided to leave. This would thus lead her with no other way out in the long run.
Lulu nodded after hearing Nicole’s explanation. “That’s true. She can’t hide forever.”
Without further thought, Lulu left the office, whereupon Nicole gave the documents a glance and began working.
After an entire morning of hard work, Nicole and Lulu decided to head out for lunch.
Leaving the elevator, Lulu asked, “Where are we going for lunch?”
“Somewhere near our office,” Nicole replied, wanting to
“I see. How about we get some grub from the restaurant across the street then?” Lulu asked, knowing that Nicole was thinking about the restaurant they often went to.
After leaving the company, they headed across the street side by side.
The pedestrian light turned green, and the bustling crowd all began crossing the street one after another. Nicole and Lulu arrived at the crossing just in time, catching up to the last few seconds before the green light transitioned to red.
“Phew, or else we would have to wait again.” Lulu smiled.
Nicole was not bothered by the notion of being inconvenienced. If they managed to catch up to the green light, she would just walk ahead, and if she missed it, she would just wait.
The pedestrian light remained green as the two hurriedly crossed the street, aiming to make it to the other side before the red light flashed. While they were doing so, they were unaware of the black car that had just revved up on the roadside and was accelerating toward them.
The loud roar of the engine caught Nicole’s attention. direction, and that was when her pupils contracted.
“Oh, my God! Be careful!” Lulu stepped up to push Nicole off the car’s trajectory, but Nicole, who was already one step ahead of her, shoved her away.
Nicole was about to dodge, but the car was already upon her. She managed a jink as the car brushed past her, but then, the car’s force spun her around twice, causing her to lose her balance and tumble to the ground.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
Nicole!” Lulu let out a sharp cry.
Nicole was lying motionless on the ground as Lulu struggled to her feet and scrambled toward her. “Nicole, are you alright? Say something! Don’t scare me like that!”
Sighting an unconscious Nicole who was bleeding from the arm down, Lulu anxiously cried, “Help! Call an ambulance! Someone call an ambulance now!”
Hearing that, the surrounding passersby gathered around and immediately dialed the emergency number.
Soon, the ambulance took Nicole and Lulu away, leaving a dumbfounded crowd behind.
“What just happened9”
I have no idea. I just saw a car rushing over suddenly.”
“Where’s the car now?”
It was only then that the crowd realized that the car that had caused the accident was long gone.

Chapter 2359
Knowing Jared was into it, Sean did not pursue the matter further. They could only wait for the results of the investigation.
“Who would dare to lay their hands on Nicole so daringly in San Joto?!” Steve gritted his teeth.
“Could it be that bunch of scumbags who had a bone to pick with Nicole before?” Stanley speculated with worry.
Nicole had almost lost her life during that attack, and while they had been hiding in the shadows ever since her return, they might have just been biding their time.
Sean frowned and asked, “What do you think, Jared?”
“It doesn’t matter who did it. That person will pay for it,” Jared said in an icy tone.
Jared would go to great lengths to ensure that the offender got the punishment he deserved.
“Let’s wait for the results first,” Sean’s expression darkened, knowing that once the culprit had been discovered, the rest could be dealt with afterward.
Soon, the doors of the emergency room opened, and the nurses came Nicole out. The good news was that she had already woken up.
Looking at the people outside the emergency room, Nicole exclaimed with shock, “Why are you here?”
“You were hit by a car and rendered unconscious. Did you think we wouldn’t come?” Steve looked at Nicole, finally at ease.
“The patient suffered a concussion due to the impact of the hit. Other than that, all her injuries are external. She’ll be fine with some rest,” the doctor explained and left.
The nurse then went on to remind, “Let’s send the patient to her ward first.”
“Oh right,” they said and pushed Nicole away, leaving the nurse stunned and frozen in place.
After Nicole had been settled down, Lulu came back after treating her wounds.
“Nicole! Ah. Thank God you’re alright. You scared me to death there,” Lulu burst into tears again after seeing Nicole.
“I’m fine. There’s no need to cry,” Nicole chuckled as she sized Lulu up. “How’s your injury?”
Nicole had acted on instinct and pushed Lulu away, resulting in Lulu falling to the ground. This led her to believe that Lulu had been injured as well.
“I’m fine. Just a few scratches here and there. Nothing that hasn’t been taken care of,” Lulu explained.
She then asked, “What about you? What did the doctor say?”
Lulu felt that her injuries were insignificant as compared to Nicole’s.
“Me too. The doctor asked me to rest for two days,” Nicole said, and turned to the others. “You guys can go back to work. You don’t have to stay here with me.”
Nicole felt that she was perfectly fine. Therefore, there was no need for all of them to crowd around just to watch over her.
“Alright then, I’ll send Lulu home first,” Spencer agreed.
With the knowledge that Nicole was fine, they could finally be at ease.
“Sean and I will head back to the company,” Steve added.
Stanley then looked at Jared and said, “I’ll go home then.”
At the end of the day, someone had to inform the people at home. In addition to that, he could also go to pick Nolan and Lana up after school and comfort them.
After a round of discussion, they left the ward and went on their ways, leaving nobody but Nicole and Jared in the ward.
The two exchanged glances, after which Nicole asked, “Did you find out who did it?”
“Max is not back yet,” Jared sat down and held Nicole’s hand gently. “Rest assured, I’ll handle it. You should get some rest.”
Hearing the concern in Jared’s tone, Nicole sighed. “Actually I could have avoided getting hurt. But my skills aren’t as sharp as before.”
Chapter 2360
If Nicole had not injured her hand and hamstring, her agility would have gotten the both of them out unharmed today. However, she was not as skilled as she used to be. If anything, she had narrowly managed to push Lulu away and evaded the blow that would otherwise have been her undoing.
“They suspect that the ones responsible were the same perpetrators as before,” Jared said as his eyes darkened.
Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Do you think the same way?”
Nicole could tell that Jared was not convinced by this idea.’ Why doesn’t he believe it? Even I think that the ones who were after me are responsible for this. After all, there’s no one else in San Joto who wants me dead.’
“I just felt that if the perpetrators were the same, they wouldn’t have done it so crudely,” Jared explained.
He had suspected them once too, but an assassination attempt of such sort was somewhat amateurish. He believed that these people would not be that stupid and reckless, for a move like that would ultimately lead to mutual destruction.
Nicole fell silent, and her face blanched. “I’ve overlooked it.”
Nicole only considered the fact that there was no one else who wanted her life. That was why Nicole and her brothers thought that the ones who were after her before this were
also the ones who had struck again.
Gritting her teeth, Nicole sardonically said, “It seems like quite a few people in San Joto want me dead.”
Suddenly, three knocks were heard on the door, after which Max strode in and greeted, “Mr. and Mrs. Johnston.”
“Spill,” Jared ordered, his voice cold and low.
Max’s expression was grim when he informed, “We caught the culprit, l-lt was Snow.”
“Snow?!” Nicole was taken aback, unable to understand why Snow would do such a thing to her.
“Yes. We’ve sent her to the police. She confessed, saying she just wanted Mrs. Johnston’s life as Mrs. Johnston has made her the laughingstock of San Joto,” Max reported with frustration.
At this rate, he was beginning to wonder if Snow was mentally unstable.
“I made her a laughingstock?” Nicole asked, feeling a little puzzled, a fool out of her.
It was Harvey’s and Everett’s plan to take over DillCorp, and Snow was the one who had allowed them to make a useful idiot out of her. Nicole could not figure out how any of this was related to her, as she had not coaxed Snow into pursuing Harvey.
Max glanced at Jared, tongue tied and at a loss. “She said if it wasn’t for Mrs. Johnston, Harvey and she would have
been fine together. She was essentially blaming Mrs. Johnston for seducing Harvey.
“Well, I…” Nicole was rendered speechless at that instant, having understood the reason as to why Harvey did not want Snow to be his girlfriend.
She figured it was because of Snow’s ignorance and unbridled stupidity.
“It was probably the time when Mrs. Johnston met up with Mr. Ellison that made Snow misunderstand the situation,” Max speculated.
After all, Nicole had never once put on a smile while meeting Harvey. Thus, the only connection between her and Harvey must have been Mr. Ellison.
This left Nicole dumbstruck. ‘Oh, I sure never wish to meet Snow. Does she even have a brain?”
“Alright, you can leave,” Jared said.
“Yes sir,” Max swallowed and left the ward, having also been rendered speechless when he found out about the situation.
However, he had no choice but to report it to Jared anyway, as frivolous and ridiculous as it was.
“Ugh,” Nicole sighed. “I’m too embarrassed to even talk about this injury.”
Nicole was instantly riddled with feelings of humiliation as she had just been wounded by someone as addle-brained as Snow.
“Get some rest,” Jared changed the topic, feeling that Nicole did not have to waste her time and energy thinking about Snow.
All that mattered right now was that was able to get the rest she needed.
“Yeah,” Nicole agreed, feeling really tired after all of the commotion.
She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.
By the time Nicole woke up, it was already dark outside. The growling of her belly was also particularly distinct in the dim, silent ward.
