Ch. 2366..2370: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2366-2370

Chapter 2366

“This is not a minor issue. It’s a spectacle. We should definitely keep an eye on it and keep our spirits up.” Nicole smiled.

It was not time for her to act yet, so she was going to let them duke it out among themselves for now.

Jared was bemused as he shook his head, indulgently allowing her to do whatever she pleased.

When Max returned, he already knew that Nicole was informed, so he directly reported, “We’ve searched everywhere we can, but we haven’t found Snow. The police are also investigating.”

“Forget it if there’s no progress. Don’t keep such a close watch over the hospital.” Nicole’s gaze slightly darkened.

Snow was no fighter or schemer, but she was good at one thing, and that was hiding. She had managed to keep herself concealed awfully well before, so unless she made a move, it would not be easy to find her. After all, San Joto was huge, so there were many places for her to hide.

By letting their guard down a little, they might be able to fool Snow into thinking that there was an opportunity to strike, and that would in turn increase the chance of her showing up.

For some reason, Nicole had a gut feeling that Snow would come for her.

“Sure,” Max responded as he understood the plan.

As there were no further orders, Max left.

Then, Nicole looked at Jared and said, “Actually, you can really leave now. The problem is, so long as you’re here, she won’t have a chance to show herself.”

Now that everything was set up, all that was missing was the bait – Nicole. Unfortunately, with her guardian angel around, she would not be able to assume her role, and therefore, the plan could not proceed.

After giving Nicole a deep look, Jared could only acquiesce. “Fine.”

Indeed, as Nicole had said, if Jared had stayed, Snow would most likely not dare to show herself.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself.” Nicole smiled, comforting Jared.

Jared kissed her forehead and said, “I won’t go far. As soon as she comes, let me know.”

“Okay.” Nicole nodded in agreement, knowing that Jared would not be at ease if she did not.

After Jared had left, Nicole redirected her gaze to the TV. The news about DillCorp had just concluded, with other news being broadcasted now.

Nicole bit her lip. It seemed to her that there would be results regarding DillCorp’s situation soon, so she decided to instruct Lulu to keep a close eye on it.

After dialing Lulu’s number, Nicole got straight to the point, ’ Keep an eye on James.”

“Got it.”

After hanging up, Nicole’s gaze darkened. In her eyes, they needed to be most careful of James, as the others in his family were not as cunning or formidable.

Concurrently at DillCorp, Dillon’s head was in a whirl due to the fluctuations in stock prices.

“Is your plan really viable? Why hasn’t the stock prices stabilized yet?” Dillon anxiously asked James.

“Dad, it will stabilize soon. Just be patient and wait a little longer,” James assured confidently.

Dillon sighed. At this point, all he could do was wait, as there was no other option.

Seeing that Dillon was not pressing further, James exchanged a glance with Raine, indicating that the timing was right. With that, he signaled his exit from the office.

Now, only Raine and Dillon remained in the office.

“Dad, I heard that Snow escaped again after she was caught. But now, no one knows where she is,” Raine said in a low voice.

“Hmph, she’s a real piece of work.” Dillon’s face assumed a sour grimace at the mention of Snow.

She was the reason as to why they were in such a sticky situation now. On top of that, she had even gone out of her way to pick a fight with Nicole.

‘She’s off her rocker!’ Dillon thought.

At present, Nicole was still focused on recovering, so Jared did not have the time to deal with them yet. But once she had been discharged from the hospital, they would be in deep trouble if Jared decided to go after them.

Harvey and Everett were already giving Dillon headaches, so he did not even want to think about Jared piling up on him.

For this reason, Dillon was anxious. He hoped that James’s plan would succeed soon. After the company was stable, he could focus on other ways to deal with the situation.

Otherwise, they would really be sent packing for good.

“Dad, now isn’t the time to get upset. I actually think this is an opportunity,” Raine said.

“What do you mean?” Dillon frowned and looked at Raine. Raine lowered her voice even further. “I heard that Snow escaped last night.”

“Escaped?! How?!” Dillon’s face instantly blanched, for she had already caused such a huge mess. ‘Being caught is one thing but escaping as well?! Does she think our family isn’t stressed enough already?!’

“Dad, although this hasn’t been officially announced, it’s definitely true. Right now, no one knows where Snow is hiding. I think she won’t remain in hiding forever. If anything, she must be planning something,” Raine responded.

After a moment of silence, Dillon’s gaze turned dark, and he said, “Are you suggesting she will go after Nicole again?”

“Definitely.” Raine confirmed upon seeing that Dillon had understood her implication. “Previously, she was caught because she plotted a car accident. Now that she’s escaped, she will definitely go after Nicole.”

“Alright,” Dillon nodded, thinking that Raine had a point.” What are you suggesting?”

As she would not just inform him about it without a good reason, there must be some purpose behind it.

“Everyone is working hard to find her. I say, we should secretly help her, so she doesn’t get caught,” Raine said.’ Well, not before she gets into a tango with Nicole, at least. If Snow succeeds in getting to Nicole…’

The mere thought excited Raine. Once Nicole was gone and Snow was captured, everything in the Riddle family would

be hers.

‘Hah! So what if you have Jared and Harvey? You can only get everything you want if you’re as tough as I am!’ she thought.

Feeling increasingly triumphant, Raine saw this as a god- sent opportunity that she absolutely had to seize.

Dillon also contemplated the feasibility of this plan. If it succeeded, the benefits he would reap were obvious. But if it failed…

After a moment of hesitation, Dillon furrowed his brows and said, “But if Jared finds out, we will be in trouble.”

“We obviously can’t let Jared find out. Besides, our participation won’t be direct. We’ll just spread some false information to distract and misdirect them. If they can’t catch Snow, she’ll naturally stand a chance,” Raine smugly responded.

Hearing this, Dillon nodded in agreement, “Sounds like a plan.”

As long as they were not directly involved, no one would trace it back to them. Hence, they would not be guilty by association.

“Since you’ve agreed, I’ll go make arrangements, Dad,” Raine said excitedly, unable to wait to see the results.

After Raine had left, Dillon’s gaze darkened slightly. ‘Who would have thought that Raine and James, the least promising of the bunch, would turn out to be the most

useful?’

After Raine had left the office, James stood outside, waiting for her.

“Dad agreed/ Raine smugly raised her eyebrows. “Your plan worked.”

“That’s good.” James smiled, looking genuinely happy for Raine.

Raine blushed as she looked at James with a coy smile. She then turned and headed back to the office.

The gentleness on James’s face then disappeared as his gaze at Raine turned cold.

As the sun had set, the glow of the setting sun filled the room. During that evening, the ward had become lively once again.

Not only did Lulu and Spencer come, but Samuel and June as well. Samuel was able to walk with the aid of crutches. When he heard that Nicole was injured, he had insisted on coming to visit her. June wanted to come too, so she agreed to tag along.

“You seem to be recovering well.” Nicole observed Samuel’s healthy complexion and quick recovery, feeling genuinely happy for him.

“It’s all thanks to June. Her care and effort are why I’ve recovered so quickly,” Samuel praised June, not forgetting the effort she had put in.

“You just happen to possess a strong body yourself.” June blushed upon hearing Samuel’s praise.

She felt that it was only natural for her to take care of him since he was injured, so there was no need for him to compliment her.

“You should recover even faster so the wedding can happen sooner,” Lulu teased them both with a smile.

Hearing this, June could not help but roll her eyes at Lulu.” Don’t forget that we’re having the wedding together.”

“I actually forgot,” Lulu said.

Just like that, it was Lulu’s turn to feel embarrassed. Her cheeks flushed a shade of rosy red, making her look extremely adorable.

Everyone burst into laughter upon noting Lulu’s antics.

Then, Spencer complained, “Seems like I have to keep reminding you now. I wouldn’t want my bride to be absent at the wedding just because she forgot that she was getting married.”

Spencer’s words made everyone burst into another gale of laughter.

“Don’t worry, I’ll remind her too.” June piled in.

After all, Lulu had just teased her.

As everyone laughed and chatted, the atmosphere in the hospital room became especially lively.

“None of us have eaten, right? I’ll order some food, so that we can all eat together,” Nicole suggested as dinnertime came.

“Sure,” everyone agreed, deciding to stay and have dinner together.

After dinner, no one seemed to have any intention of leaving. Because of this, Nicole could not help but look at them with a raised brow.

No one dared to return her gaze as they were all feeling a sense of guilt for whatever reason. Then, finally, Nicole realized what was going on.

“You can all go home. If you stay here, she won’t dare to show up,” Nicole said, knowing that they did not want to leave because they were all worried about her.

However, if they stayed, Snow would not reveal herself.

“But…” Lulu wanted to argue further, but Nicole stopped her.

“You know I’m right,” Nicole said.

Lulu could only bite her lip and stay silent, for she knew Nicole was right.

“Go home, everyone. Everything here is all set,” Nicole urged them to leave.

She had even sent Jared home to look after Nolan and Lana. All of this was done to create a window of opportunity for Snow to appear. She could not keep many people here, or else, Snow would never dare to show her face.

 

Chapter 2369

Noticing the worried expressions on their faces, Nicole continued to reassure them, “She might be too afraid to show up anyway.”

After exchanging glances with each other, they ultimately decided to leave. “Well then, we’ll go home now and come back to visit you tomorrow.”

Deep down, they all knew that the act of staying was not going to help and might even disrupt Nicole’s plan.

“Okay.” Nicole smiled and nodded in agreement.

After they had exited the ward, Nicole glanced at the time. She figured that it was almost time for visiting hours to end. The relatives and friends who had come to pay their visits had already left, leaving only patients and medical staff in the building.

In a little while, it would be time for nurses to do their rounds. After that, everyone would turn the lights off and go to sleep. If Snow were to appear, it would probably be during the quiet hours of the night.

Nicole then proceeded to calculate the possible time frame for Snow’s appearance and the likelihood of it happening…

Minutes passed, and soon, knocks were heard on the door.

“Rounds.”

“Come in.”

The nurse’s voice emanated from outside the door, and Nicole replied accordingly, allowing the nurse to enter.

Nicole squinted as she stared at the person entering. “Why is this nurse so well-covered, and why does their figure seem so familiar?’

“Did your shift change?” Nicole deliberately said, noticing that the nurse was trying her best to not reveal her face.

“Yeah,” she replied in a muffled voice.

Without saying another word, she wheeled in the cart topped with equipment for routine measurements of blood pressure.

Nicole shot the nurse another glance and her gaze darkened once again. She then feigned cooperation with the nurse, doing everything she was expected to, when suddenly, she stuck her arm out to grab and remove the nurse’s mask when the latter least expected it.

“Ah!” The nurse reeled, startled and with her face exposed to Nicole.

As she eyed Snow, Nicole cynically curled her lips. “Just as I suspected.”

Nicole felt that something was off as soon as Snow appeared. Besides, Nicole’s subtle probes had only heightened her suspicions.

Snow, who had failed to anticipate that she would be recognized so quickly, then leered at Nicole. “It’s me, alright. Let’s see who can save you today.”

Then, Snow grabbed a scalpel and lunged at Nicole.

Nicole quickly rolled aside as the blade pierced the mattress, slicing clean through the sheet.

Seeing that her first attack had failed, Snow swung the scalpel at Nicole again, chasing after her like a stark-raving mad woman. All she desperately wanted to do was stab Nicole.

Since Nicole was still injured, her wounds had reopened as blood began to seep through the bandages.

Meanwhile, Snow was going berserk with her increasingly frenzied and relentless attacks, prompting Nicole to dodge and sidestep each swipe before pressing the red button on the bed.

Soon, someone barged into the room and tackled Snow to the ground the instant they saw her attacking Nicole.

“Mrs. Johnston, are you alright?” the leader of the group dressed in black asked.

“I’m fine,” Nicole responded calmly.

Seized and pinned down, Snow was rendered immobile.

She understood the situation she was in, and with a murderous glare directed at Nicole, she yelled, “You knew I’d come, so you had deliberately set a trap!”

It was obvious that these men were all arranged to stand guard and protect Nicole, and this meant that Snow was in the bin the instant she appeared. Funnily, she thought that

her disguise as a nurse would not go unnoticed by Nicole.

Nicole raised an eyebrow and looked at Snow. “You’re right.

I actually found it strange that you didn’t show up.”

After all, Snow was not the type to swallow her grievances. After being humiliated, she would definitely find a way to take revenge. However, she had picked the wrong target this time.

Snow’s humiliation had nothing to do with Nicole in the first place. And since she was actively seeking Nicole out just to attack her, Nicole could not simply let it slide.

Realizing that her attempt had failed once again, Snow gritted her teeth and tried to lunge at Nicole again. “You!”

Chapter 2370

Nicole gazed coldly at Snow and remarked, "You went out of your way to hurt me first, and then, you tried to escape punishment.And now you've come to kill me.You really do hate me with a passion, don't you?"

"Of course I hate you! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this situation now!"

Snow's eyes were bloodshot as she yelled in frustration.Nicole glanced at Snow coldly.

"Too bad.It's entirely on you."

Snow's current situation was hardly Nicole's fault, and yet, here she was, mindlessly blaming her for her predicaments.

This had really left Nicole speechless.

"If it weren't for you, I would have had a loving relationship with Harvey.I would have become Mrs.Ellison long ago.I wouldn't have become the laughingstock of San Joto repeatedly!"

Snow refused to listen to Nicole, deeply convinced that everything was Nicole's fault.

"The one who refused to marry you was Harvey.The one who deceived you again was Harvey.Shouldn't you blame him for your humiliation instead?"

Nicole stated, pointing out that none of these were her doing.If anything, those actions were Harvey's doing.

"Don't act innocent.Don't you know that Harvey likes you?!"

Snow yelled, exasperated and furious.

Nicole raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

"So, it's my fault that he likes me instead of you?!"

Suddenly, she wondered if Harvey did not like Snow because she was nothing short of an imbecile.

"It is your fault, and it's his fault too!"

Snow's cheeks flushed red with anger as she glared at Nicole with dagger-like eyes.

"That's why I want you dead.That way, he will suffer forever.And as long as I see him in pain and regret, I'll be happy."

Nicole stared at Snow as if she were looking at a fool.

"If you kill me, you'll die too."

‘And if she does, how is she going to see Harvey suffer and regret?’ Nicole thought.

Nicole did not know whether Harvey would suffer or regret anything he had done.But regardless of what the outcome was, she knew one thing was certain - Snow would not be around to witness it.

Stumped by Nicole's retort, Snow's face turned pale.

Gritting her teeth in frustration, she said, "I want him to suffer.I want to take revenge on him."

As she spoke, Snow's voice grew softer as she repeated the same sentence over and over until her voice became a whisper.

Frowning, Nicole could not help but notice that Snow seemed to have become unhinged.

"Yes, I want to kill you and make him regret all that he has done!" Snow roared.

Suddenly, as if she had snapped out of a trance-like state, Snow thrashed around again and lunged at Nicole.

This caught the men in black off guard, and Snow managed to break free from their grasp.

"Mrs.Johnston, be careful!" one of the men shouted.

Noticing Snow's sudden burst of speed, Nicole instinctively ducked to evade her.

With all of the strength she could muster, Snow charged headfirst at Nicole, who dodged and watched as an unstoppable Snow threw herself forward with great momentum, crashing into the window.

"Quick, catch her!"

The men shouted as one of them ran toward Snow.

Snow clumsily climbed onto the windowsill as she did not want to be captured, and without a second thought, she jumped out and took the plunge.

"Hey!"

For a brief moment, time stopped, as if the entire space around them had frozen.

Then, there was a thud, an ear-piercing screech echoing from below, and a cacophony of noise.

"Ah!"

"Mrs.Johnston, I'll go and have a look."

"Okay."

Nicole stared at the window after they had left, feeling a cocktail of emotions within her.She did not anticipate that Snow would have the courage to actually jump.

Suddenly, she heard Jared's voice beside her, causing her to look up at him instinctively.

"Whatever happens next, Max will take care of it."
