Ch. 2376..2380: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2376-2380

Chapter 2376

"In that case, what should we do?" Gloria asked through gritted teeth.

"I know that there's nothing else we can do about Snow.I'm just worried that with Dillon's attitude, will they continue to harm Nicole?"

Gloria understood that Daniel's consideration was valid, but ultimately, she was more concerned about Karen and Dillion's behavior in the grand scheme of things.So long as they were allowed to act with impunity, Gloria could not be at ease.

"Let's wait and see how things pan out."

Daniel responded, deep in thought.He had a feeling that Nicole had her own plan, and so, he believed they ought to sit and observe instead of getting in Nicole's way.

Gloria nodded and looked at the flight of stairs the moment she heard that, her eyes bloodshot and teary.

Back in Nicole's room, Jared laid her down on their bed and urged, "Get some rest."

"Okay." Nicole smirked and nodded.

After all, Jared would not know what Nicole was up to after he was gone.

Judging by how brief her response was, Jared instantly knew what she was thinking about.

"I'll take care of whatever you have in mind." Nicole widened her eyes in shock.

"How do you know?"

From the look on his face, it seemed as if Jared could read her mind.

Still, it was a wonder as to how he had discovered what she was thinking about, given that fact she had not said anything to her at all.

In response, Jared patted Nicole's head dotingly.

"What can I say? I know you all too well."

Nicole did not have to utter a word.

In fact, he knew her so well that Jared could guess what was going on in Nicole's head just from the look on her face.

After all, Dillon and his family thought that they could wash their hands from this incident by not showing their faces.

Even if Nicole allowed this to slide, Jared would not allow such behavior to go unpunished.

Feeling warm in her heart, Nicole smiled, "Alright then.I'll go to sleep and wait for your good news."

"Alright, I'll go to the office now.Once I get off work, I'll come home,"

Jared assured with a gentle look in his eyes.

"Alright." Nicole beamed.

After Jared had left the room, a smile formed in Nicole's eyes.She laid down in bed to get some rest.

At this rate, following the incident, she was ready to seize complete control of DillCorp.

She could tell that after Snow had gotten herself into that mess, Everett and Harvey would not stop there.

In fact, they would take advantage of the situation and proceed with little restraint.

This time, however, she could not afford to give Everett and Harvey another chance to strike.

Whatever happened next, DillCorp must not fall into the hands of either of these individuals.

Even if she had to hand it over to Preston, she would do so, for he was the rightful owner of DillCorp, not Harvey or Everett.

On the other side, Jared had left the Riddle family's house.

As the car was on the highway.

Max solemnly reported, "Sir, as you've predicted, Everett's men were helping Snow escape from the hospital."

It was unbelievable to them as to how Snow had escaped on her own anyway.

Therefore, Jared had ordered Max to investigate the incident until they managed to discover something.

A cold glint crossed Jared's eyes at once.

'So, there really was someone behind the scenes.Is Everett having too much fun in life?’

"Sir, the issue is that Everett managed to cover it up well.Although we've discovered that he was connected to the entire incident, we don't have any evidence that points directly at his involvement," Max solemnly explained.

"That's not the point."

Jared's gaze became firm.

Evidence was the last thing he needed.

"So, how should we proceed?" Max asked as he had understood Jared's words.

"Since he's dying to own DillCorp, we'll give it to him." Jared's eyes darkened as he stated.

Max remained silent, secretly lighting a candle for Everett in his heart.

‘I'm afraid that Everett will be in serious trouble soon"

Chapter 2377

Then, Jared looked up and stared to the front. “Keep an eye on Dillon as well.”

This time around, he wanted to make Dillon and Everett pay. In fact, Jared wanted the both of them, with their own two eyes, to watch him destroy the very thing which they had been trying so hard to get.

“Understood,” Max replied.

As the car sped across the highway, Jared leaned back against his seat. His eyes were so dark and abyssal that nobody could tell what he was thinking about.

Meanwhile, in the headquarters of the Ellison Group, Harvey seemed crossed when he saw Everett.

When Harvey saw him, he yelled, “What the hell are you doing here?!”

“It’s an emergency. Oh, and also, you don’t get to have a say here. There’s nothing you should be worried about,” Everett retorted, seemingly not fazed at all.

Harvey then looked at Everett coldly and asked, “What’s going on?”

Harvey was not worried about anything. He just felt that it was best for those beneath him to know their place.

“You know that Snow has gotten herself into a huge mess, right?”

Although Everett was directing the question to Harvey, he was sure that Harvey knew about it.

Harvey raised his brows and replied coldly, “Spill.”

“Alright. I was just thinking that we could take this opportunity to seize DillCorp,” Everett muttered in a low voice.

He felt that it would be a great opportunity for them. At that moment, Dillion and his family would direct all of their focus on Nicole and Jared. Above all else, they must be worried about being dragged into the situation. Therefore, they would not be able to pay any attention to what Harvey was doing.

And if they were to make a move in secret, they could pull a sucker punch and bag themselves the victory at once.

Harvey darted his eyes at Everett. “Since you see this as an opportunity, why don’t you grab it for yourself?”

‘Why would he come looking for me? If he succeeds, he could be rid of me,’ Harvey thought.

“Harvey, we’re partners in crime after all. Of course, I’d have to inform you about this.” Everett smiled as he said.

“Oh.” Harvey snorted as if he was very pleased with what Everett had just said.

“I think this is the perfect opportunity, so we must be quick to act,” Everett continued.

If anyone were to seize the opportunity before they did, they would lose everything.

“If that’s the case, you may go ahead,” Harvey agreed.

“Alright, I’ll work on it now.”

As soon as he had spoken, Everett carefully asked, “In that case, I’ll need your help with…”

“You may speak to Lewis.” Harvey stated bluntly, feeling too lazy to entertain his needs anymore.

Harvey knew that Everett had sought him out for a partnership only because Everett was incapable of achieving what he was after on his own. After all those years, Everett had become even more resistant to manipulation.

Furthermore, Everett’s greed had only intensified over the years. No one could tell for sure when he would bite back.

Therefore, there was a definite need for Harvey to be cautious of Everett.

After Everett had left Harvey’s office, the sly look on his face slowly vanished. His body then straightened, contrasting his previous position where he was bent.

Then, Everett scanned his surroundings and strode out of the Ellison Group’s company building.

Snow had failed her second attempt and to make matters worse, had fallen into a vegetative state. No one knew about what Everett had done, so this was his chance to fight back. The only thing he needed to do was to pull a sneaky maneuver, and then, DillCorp would be all his.

When the time eventually came, no one would look down on

NandoCorp anymore. In addition to that, NandoCorp would also rank as a first-class company.

Soon after, the sun set, painting the sky in a colorful, scenic afterglow.

Lively chatter emanated from the Riddle residence, as the entire family gathered together in a merry display.

Sean and Steve had also brought Jane and Sally home, while Spencer and Lulu had also arrived in time. Even Samuel and June were present for the occasion.

 

Chapter 2378

It was extremely merry while the entire family was gathered together.

“Nicole, what happened this time was a close call. Don’t take such risks anymore. There are multiple ways to deal with people like them, so why put yourself in danger? It’s not worth it, especially for someone like Snow,” June said, still feeling afraid on the behalf of Nicole.

In response, Nicole chuckled. “Don’t worry. Everything has been planned. We’re just luring them out now.”

“But what if something unexpected happens?” June shook her head in disagreement.

“I know you’re concerned about me, but trust me, we’ve made our arrangements, so you really don’t need to worry. And look, I’m fine now, am I not?” she argued.

June wanted to persuade Nicole further, but before she could, Samuel stopped her. “Don’t worry, Mr. Johnston is with us. He won’t let anything happen to Nicole.”

He believed that since it was a planned operation, it must have been approved by Jared, which definitely meant that the plan was well thought out.

June looked at Jared and hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, she forewent the argument and kept mum instead.

And while everyone present were expressing their concerns about Nicole’s situation, Tia came home with Nolan and Lana.

“Mommy!” The kids rushed toward Nicole when they saw her, wanting to give her a big hug.

“Hey!” Just as they were about to get close to Nicole, a pair of big hands stopped them from getting too close.

Nolan turned to Jared and protested, “Why are you stopping us?”

They were really worried when they heard that Nicole was injured, but before they could pay her a visit, Nicole had disallowed them from going to the hospital. And now that she was back, Jared added salt to the wound by preventing them from hugging her.

He is too much!’ Nolan fumed.

“Mommy is injured. Don’t bump into her wound,” Jared reminded Nolan before letting them go.

Hearing that, Nolan stopped in his tracks and became obedient at once.

They then approached Nicole slowly, and once they were in close proximity to her, Nolan asked in a soft voice,” Mommy, does it still hurt?”

Nicole smiled and comforted him, saying, “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

“Mommy, did they catch the bad guys?” Lana tilted her little head as she asked.

Nicole nodded. “Yes, they’ve been caught. The police officers have taken them away.”

Nolan and Lana instantly felt relieved when they heard that the people who had injured their mother had been caught.” That’s good. Evil people should be caught.”

Nicole lovingly ruffled their heads, her eyes filled with tenderness.

“Miss Nicole? I’ll be heading back if there’s nothing else,” Tia announced.

She was relieved to see that Nicole was fine, so she proceeded to head back just so that she could tend to Mrs. Wallace Sr.

Before she could, Nicole stopped her and said, “Bring Grandma over. Let’s all have dinner together and enjoy ourselves tonight.”

“Sure, I’ll be going now,” Tia agreed as she thought that Nicole missed Mrs. Wallace Sr.

“Well then, let’s all wait in the dining room,” Gloria called.

Soon after, the entire family sat down in the dining room, chatting and eating happily.

Mrs. Wallace Sr. was seated next to Gloria, and the two of them chatted with smiles on their faces as they watched the children and their antics.

“I am content, knowing that they’re doing well.” Mrs. Wallace

Sr. looked at them affectionately, her sweeping gaze finally stopping on Nicole.

‘This girl has gone through too many hardships, and it’s finally over. I’m glad!’ she thought.

“I’ll be truly relieved when every single one of them gets married.” Gloria nodded in agreement.

This was her biggest wish now. She wanted to see her children get married, start their own families, and find the happiness they deserved.

“Well, they’re already preparing for their weddings. Soon your wish will come true,” Mrs. Wallace Sr. stated with a radiant smile.

While Nicole was missing, the Riddle family had been taking care of Mrs. Wallace Sr., who really liked Nicole’s older brothers. Now that she could see that they were all starting their own families, she sincerely felt happy for them.

Chapter 2379

“These little rascals really gave me a hard time worrying about them, but thank God, they’re all grown up now,” Gloria said as she looked at her sons, her gaze finally falling on Stanley.

‘Sean and Steve have already gotten married, and now Spencer and Samuel are about to start their families as well. Stanley is the only one left. Why hasn’t he found a girlfriend yet? Is it possible that he has neglected his love life because he has been too focused on his work?’ she wondered.

Sensing that his mother was scrutinizing him, Stanley felt a sense of pressure weighing down on him at once. He subconsciously avoided her gaze and lowered his head as he continued eating in an attempt to minimize his presence in the dining hall.

He knew very well that he had Spencer and Samuel to face the music with him in the past, but now, he was all alone. This meant that he would be the only one left to deal with the pressure of getting soon. This had been foreseen long ago.

“Mom, Stanley will find happiness too,” Nicole stated, trying to ease the situation for him.

Stanley shot her a grateful look, for he was truly worried that Gloria would start pressuring him to get married right now.

Gloria turned to Nicole and agreed, “Alright, let’s not rush

Stanley for now. Let’s talk about you.”

Hearing that, Nicole’s lips began to twitch. ‘Did I just dig a grave for herself? Can I take back what I just said?’

“Mom, Spencer and I haven’t even had our wedding yet. Don’t you have too much on your plate already?” Samuel reminded Gloria.

He thought Gloria would already be content planning both the weddings for him and June, as well as Spencer and Lulu. ‘Why is she already worrying about those who aren’t about to get married?’

Hearing that, Gloria gave Samuel a stern look and said, “I don’t even think I’ve had enough with the both of you getting married at the same time.”

“Please, Mom. We’ll be worried about you too. Besides, if you keep pushing like this, some people might develop a fear of marriage. Wouldn’t that give you even more of a headache?” Samuel gestured toward Stanley with his mouth, shifting all the attention to Stanley again.

‘Stanley is dealing with this all on his own now, I guess,’ Samuel thought.

It was then that Stanley shot a fierce glare at Samuel, his eyes carrying a hint of fury and frustration.

Samuel innocently shrugged, indicating he was also helpless in the face of it all. After all, Gloria was nothing short of intimidating whenever she decided to exercise her power.

“Mom, we’ll plan for our honeymoon ourselves. We want to go to a remote island where no one knows us, and just relax, ” Spencer said to Gloria.

“Of course, whatever you’d like.” Gloria looked at Lulu affectionately. “If you have any ideas, feel free to share them. After all, this wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so it should be exactly as you desire.”

“I have no other requests, Mrs. Riddle.” Lulu’s cheeks flushed red as she felt a little embarrassed at the mention of it.

Both Spencer and his family had treated her very well, and all the preparations were well thought out. She really had no complaints.

“What about you?” Gloria looked at June and asked softly.

She genuinely liked two of her future daughters-in-law, so she did not want them to feel any sense of discomfort or awkwardness.

“I don’t have any either.” June’s cheeks became bright red as she promptly answered.

“Don’t hesitate, you two. After all, we’re going to be a family,” Gloria reminded the both of them.

Then, the both of them nodded in unison. “Of course, Mrs. Riddle.”

As they chatted about the wedding preparations, Gloria naturally forgot about Stanley’s situation.

Stanley could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Unconsciously, he turned his gaze to Tia. Then, their eyes coincidentally met, causing the pair to freeze for a moment.

Tia’s cheeks flushed as she awkwardly averted her gaze and continued to eat silently.

Stanley, on the other hand, paused for a moment, whereupon he looked away with a strange look on his face.

This exchange of glances did not escape Nicole’s eagle eyes as a faint smile crossed her face.

“Eat,” a gentle voice reached her ears.

Nicole lowered her head and found that her plate had been filled with various dishes she liked.

 

Chapter 2380

She knew that Jared had scooped those dishes for her.

She looked at him with a smile in her eyes and said, “You too.”

“Yeah, let’s dig in,” Jared replied with a gentle gleam in his eyes.

“How’s the arrangement going?” Nicole asked Jared in a hushed voice while eating.

“What do you think?” Jared’s gaze narrowed.

He could tell that Nicole had her own thoughts on this matter as well. So, he needed to consider whether their plans should be integrated.

Nicole shook her head. “I was just asking.”

This prompted a frown out of him as he asked, “Really?”

Feeling a little guilty under his gaze, Nicole chuckled awkwardly. “I really don’t have much to say about your plan. But I just want to add a little something to uproot the problem entirely.”

After a brief pause, Jared said in a low voice, “James.”

“Yes. That guy is no slouch. He’s pretty rapacious too.”

Unfortunately for James, Nicole had caught him with his guard down. It would be a waste if they did not make use of this opportunity to silence him once and for all.

“Alright, I’ll leave the rest to you,” Jared agreed with a doting look in his eyes.

“Thank you,” Nicole replied sweetly.

But then, a mischievous glint crossed Jared’s eyes. “You can thank me in a different way.”

“Stop talking, let’s eat,” Nicole reprimanded with a warning glance.

Jared leaned in closer to Nicole and whispered in her ear, “I thought you wanted to say, ‘Stop talking, kiss me.'”

“Shut up.” Nicole lifted her head to look around in embarrassment.

She was relieved upon seeing that no one was paying attention to them.

Seeing her adorable look with her flushed cheeks, Jared’s beaming smile became even wider.

After a cheerful dinner conversation, everyone returned to the living room where they ate fruits and chatted about their lives. With that said, the family was harmonious and happy, sharing nothing but joyful moments together.

Soon, June and Lulu stood up when they saw that it was getting late. “It’s getting late, and Nicole needs to rest early. We won’t disturb you any longer, so we’ll head back first.”

“Okay. Spencer, accompany Lulu,” Gloria instructed Spencer.

After that, Gloria looked at Samuel. “Are you two going back to the apartment or staying here?”

“I’m going back, and he’s staying,” June decisively stated.

Hearing that, Samuel pouted. “Are you abandoning me?”

June’s cheeks turned red as she shot Samuel a fierce glare.” Don’t spout nonsense now. You’re going home.”

‘What does he mean when he said I was ‘abandoning’ him? He’s almost done recovering and has returned to the Riddle family.’ June thought, feeling that there was no need for Samuel to follow her

back to the apartment.

“I…” Samuel suddenly choked up.

He was indeed back home, but he did not want to stay alone, for he had become accustomed to spending every single day with her.

“What’s wrong? You’re not used to living at home anymore?” Stanley teased.

“In that case, Samuel will stay. Spencer can take June home too.” Gloria pondered for a moment before making her decision.

“Okay, sorry for the trouble, guys.” June readily agreed and looked at Spencer and Lulu gratefully.

“Whv are vou suddenly beino so oolite?” Lulu chuckled.
