Ch. 2391..2395: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2391-2395

Chapter 2391

“Are you sure your memories are resurfacing?” Jared asked, surprised Nicole did not have a headache.

“I think so.” Nicole nodded. She was confident the man she saw in her dream was Jared.

“But your head didn’t hurt this time,” Jared pointed out. He stared at Nicole closely, realizing she was fine.

Stunned for a moment, Nicole realized she finally saw the face in the dream. On top of that, she did not get a headache this time. Nicole finally understood Jared’s bewilderment.

All this while, her dream had been about the time they fell into the water. Jared lost consciousness, and Nicole tried to save him. However, she ultimately exhausted herself and sank back into the water. This resulted in Nicole’s amnesia and her five-year disappearance.

Nicole had yet to recover her memories fully, but she understood from this dream that Jared and she were deeply in love, to the extent they would die for one another.

Feeling a sense of poignant, Nicole leaned into Jared’s embrace. She whispered, “Maybe Martin’s treatment worked. n

Even though she could not explain why, Nicole was able to figure things out little by little without a headache. She felt like it was a good sign for her to one day regain all her memories.

Nicole realized that her dream was actually just remnants of her blurred memories. She believed slowly but surely, she would regain her memories and recall everything she went through.

Jared fixed his gaze on Nicole. From the dream Nicole described, Jared came to the realization that Nicole was the one who saved him back then. If Nicole had not saved him, she would have never needed to encounter the danger of disappearing and suffering for these five years.

Tightly hugging Nicole, Jared felt pain deep in his heart. He felt immense pain for her experience those five years, and even more pain for her sacrifices for him.

Noticing Jared’s unusual behavior, Nicole softly called out,” Jared?”

“Yeah,” Jared answered with a slightly muffled voice.

Frowning, Nicole was unsure of her gut feeling, but she could feel Jared’s sorrow.

Nicole wanted to look up to check on Jared, but he held her tight in his embrace. With a sigh, Nicole gave up and wrapped her arms around his waist, comforting him by gently patting his back.

Both of them were silent, yet it seemed like they had already spoken a thousand words.

After that, time went back quickly, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

San Joto was peaceful and uneventful. The crowd bustled about and not one person noticed the ones burning out.

“Hey, Nicole. You and Jared killed two birds with one stone this time,” Lulu said, her eyes shining. She looked excited for the tea.

“Someone had to teach them a lesson,” Nicole said faintly with a dark expression.

“It should’ve been done a long time ago. We should let them know that we’re not easy to mess with,” Lulu huffed arrogantly. Or else, their enemies would think they were an easy target and keep causing trouble for them.

Nicole looked at Lulu and asked, “How are things on your end?”

“Don’t sweat it. Someone has been keeping an on it all the time,” Lulu said seriously. She knew Nicole had given her an important task, so she remained vigilant and attentive.

“Alright. There should be results soon,” Nicole hinted.

“Are you saying…? No way! Is he really that bold?” Lulu was a little surprised. She always believed things would only come to an end before they had an outcome.

“James always had sky-high dreams. If this works out, it’d only be natural for his greed to grow bigger.” Nicole believed James would take the risk this time.

Chapter 2392

Lulu paid more caution and attention after Nicole’s hint. “I got it. I’ll be more mindful.”

Nicole chuckled. “Don’t get nervous. It’s just a guess. If circumstances change, he might not be able to act right away.”

Confused, Lulu asked, “Will things still change?”

If the circumstances changed, Lulu was worried that it would impact their side.

Sighing, Nicole said, “Everett claimed to have gotten the investigation results. Grandpa wants us all to head back to the Riddle family manor tonight.”

On the surface, Jared’s plan was a success, and Everett suffered quite a loss. However, Everett had not shown any reaction to this yet.

Instead, through Mr. Riddle Sr., he managed to get everyone summoned back to the Riddle family manor. It made Nicole worry.

“Well then, you should go and check the situation tonight. But be careful. Everett’s a sly guy,” Lulu reminded with concern.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.” Nicole smirked. Although she did not have all the details, she was certain Everett wanted to stir up trouble. So Nicole wanted to see if Everett had what

it takes.

“Fine.” Lulu sighed, disheartened. The supposedly good news was making her less happy now.

Nicole reassured her with a slight smile. “Don’t worry. If Everett had any plans in mind, it’d be against DillCorp. He’s no match for us for the time being.”

“It’s not easy to have a chance to crack down on Everett. Yet he managed to seize a chance to counterattack. Just thinking about it makes me angry.” Lulu sighed glumly.

“Alright now, it’s not worth it to get angry over him. Run along. I’ll text you tomorrow, or you could come with Spencer today,” Nicole said meaningfully, raising her eyebrow.

Lulu shook her head. “No, thanks. I’d rather not. Who am I to attend a family gathering?”

“You are family,” Nicole teased.

“I’ll pass. Even though I’m Spencer’s fiancee, I don’t think I should get involved with the Riddle family’s affairs. I’ll just stay here to help you out,” Lulu insisted.

Not merely because she had not yet wed Spencer. Even if she did, she believed it would be best to stay out of these matters.

“Oh, fine then. Forget it, if you don’t want to.” Nicole chuckled and shook her head. Lulu was too anxious in Nicole’s opinion, but she understood her feelings.

“Well, I’ll be waiting for your news tomorrow. I’ll get going then.” Lulu left Nicole’s office and breathed a sigh of relief.

Nicole leaned against her seat and smiled while looking at Lulu. ‘She’s still being shy.’

Time passed swiftly. Before they knew it, night had fallen. All family members arrived at the Riddle family manor one after another.

Jared would not attend so Nicole had him take care of Nolan and Lana. The other family members were here. Nicole, Sean, and Steve got out of a car and entered the Riddle family manor. At a glance, they could see Mr. Riddle Sr. in the main seat.

After they greeted him, the three siblings approached Mr. Riddle Sr. together.

Chapter 2393

“He has work to do,” Nicole explained.

Mr. Riddle Sr. did not continue to pursue the matter. Seeing everyone had arrived, he fixed his gaze on Everett and said, ” Speak up.”

Mr. Riddle Sr.’s meaning was clear. With everyone present, he wanted Everett to get to the point.

Everett clenched his fist and let go. He then calmly handed a file to Mr. Riddle Sr. “Grandpa, these are the investigation results of the two gardeners who were after money and stole the deeds to the Riddle family manor.”

“Hmm…” Mr. Riddle Sr. took the file but did not look at it. It was clear that the so-called evidence shown to him was naturally what they wanted him to see.

“Grandpa, here are ours.” Steve, Preston, and Ell ar, who had been ordered to investigate, obediently handed over their investigation results.

Similarly, Mr. Riddle Sr. did not read it. He asked, “Everett, you had everyone back for this?”

“There are other things too,” Everett replied, understanding that his grandfather had decided not to pursue the issue of the Riddle family manor’s deed.

“What is it? Go ahead,” Mr. Riddle Sr. said faintly.

Everett seemed hesitant as he glanced in the direction of

Dillon’s family before speaking with a solemn tone. “While investigating the gardeners, I stumbled upon another matter. n

“What is it?” Mr. Riddle Sr.’s eyes narrowed. He could tell that what Everett was about to say was not simple.

With that, Everett handed another set of documents to the elder. “Grandpa, take a look at this. It’s about the medicine you used before.”

Everett aggravated his tone, reminding Mr. Riddle Sr. meaningfully. Everyone instantly understood that it was the medicine that almost caused Mr. Riddles Sr.’s death.

The old man’s expression turned serious as he read the papers in the document.

“Dad, what’s wrong?” Daniel asked, noticing Mr. Riddle Sr.’s unusual expression.

With a snap, Mr. Riddle Sr. threw the paper in his hand in Dillon’s face. “You ungrateful brat!”

“What are you talking about, Dad?” Dillon looked dumbfounded as he took the document off his face.

Reading the information, Dillon dropped the papers to the ground in shock. He shook his head aggressively. “No, it wasn’t me! Someone must’ve framed me.”

“Dillon, the evidence is all there. Your denial now only shows how guilty you are,” Everett mocked.

“You’re the one handing over the evidence. You must be the one framing me!” Dillon shouted in distress. This was

something Dillon would never admit to doing. This was patricide. He was not that insane!

“Regardless, it’s evidence. Whoever had brought this forward doesn’t matter. After all, the police rely on evidence too,” Everett justified. The evidence would not be dismissed just because Everett was the informer.

“Why, you!” Dillon was choked with rage. His face turned purple as he said, “I didn’t do it anyway! Don’t you dare blame this on me. Since you claim the police rely on evidence, then we shall go to the police. Let them be the ones to investigate this thoroughly!”

Dillon was never taking the blame, or else his life would turn miserable from now on. He might lose everything.

“What do you think? Grandpa?” Everett stopped arguing with Dillon and looked at Mr. Riddle Sr., waiting for his decision.

 

Chapter 2394

Mr. Riddle Sr. fell silent. Although he got worked up just now, he still had to calm down and consider the Riddle family’s situation. Getting the police involved would only result in this matter being spread out to the public. If such a family scandal were leaked out, it would be hard for the Riddle family to maintain their reputation in San Joto.

Aftercareful contemplation, Mr. Riddle Sr. turned to Dillon and ordered coldly, “From now on, Dillon’s family has nothing to do with the Riddle family. Leave now. You are not allowed to step foot into the Riddle family business again.”

“Wait, Dad! Hear me out! I really didn’t do it!” Dillon’s distress escalated. His eyes were full of panic as he tried to explain.

With the evidence before him, Mr. Riddle Sr. had no interest in Dillon’s explanation. He turned to the house butler. “Get them out of here and make sure they never set foot in this house again.”

“Yes, sir.” The house butler approached Dillon. ‘ Dillion, it’s best you leave now.”

“I’m not leaving! It wasn’t me. Why should I be kicked out of the Riddle family?” Dillon toughened up. If he was kicked out now, he would lose all ties to the Riddle family.

“Grandpa, perhaps we could investigate this further. Dad would never do such a thing,” Raine said, growing anxious. If they were cut off, Raine would never inherit the Riddle family in the future.

Karen lashed out. “Dad, how could you just make us leave indiscriminately?! We’re not the only ones who were eager to claim the shares back then. You can’t solely blame our family!

“That’s right, Dad! Damien was the one who recommended the doctor. He can’t just be ruled out from suspicion when the doctor makes a mistake. You can’t just single me out!” Dillon seemed to catch a lifeline and pointed his accusation toward Damien.

“Dillon, don’t go crazy and target anyone you see! The evidence points to you, so why are you accusing me now?” Damien immediately defended. His frustration made his face pale.

“How would I know if you tampered with evidence? With evidence like this, I could just as easily claim you did it!” Dillon threw caution to the wind. He was not going to let anyone off easily.

“Dad, why don’t we get the police involved? That’ll make him concede defeat,” Damien said with impatience.

The situation seemed like Dillon was losing his mind now. Damien did not want to continue arguing and play Dillon’s games.

“Enough with this. Alfred, continue what you were doing,” Mr. Riddle Sr. said, his voice growing more authoritative.

“Yes, sir.” The house butler understood this was Mr. Riddle

Sr.’s final order. The house butler approached Dillon, his voice stern. “Dillon, Mr. Riddle Sr. is trying to preserve both your dignity and the Riddle family. If this becomes public knowledge, it damages both your family and the Riddle family. So, I advise you to take your leave now.”

The house butler’s words sounded like a suggestion, but he carried an implicit threat. Dillon was not clueless; he could easily discern it.

Mr. Riddle Sr. wanted to cut ties with Dillon’s family now and wanted them gone. If Dillon continued to make a fuss, there was a good chance things would end worse than this.

Gritting his teeth, Dillon stood up and said, “I’ll prove my innocence.”

After saying this, Dillion left with big strides.

Sighing, Karen had no choice but to follow. Raine was reluctant to leave. She exchanged glances with James, not sure what they should do.

“Grandpa, take care of yourself. We’ll take our leave first.” James pulled Raine to her feet and excused himself.

Preston saw his family leave and prepared to leave as well. He was, after all, a part of the family, and there was no reason for him to stay behind. He also did not want to incur Mr. Riddle Sr.’s wrath.

 

Chapter 2395

As Dillon’s family gradually left, Mr. Riddle’s Sr.’s expression turned somber. He fixed his gaze on the entrance hall, lost in his thoughts.

Meanwhile, Karen exasperatedly pulled Dillon outside. “How could you just leave? Isn’t it as good as admitting you did it?”

“So what, if I denied it? Isn’t it obvious that I fell into their trap?” Dillon hit the ceiling.

“Dad, you’re saying that Everett forged the evidence? He’s too shady!” Raine gritted her teeth. The battle between the heirs of the Riddle family had yet to be determined, yet she was kicked out of the running just like that. It was clear that Raine was infuriated.

“The fact that Dad believed them so easily… He really is biased,” Karen complained.

Seeing the family’s disgruntled expressions, James advised, “We still have a shot.”

“What do you mean?” Karen frowned.

“Grandpa said he would cut off ties with us. But he didn’t say he would take back DillCorp. He didn’t burn the bridge. As long as we operate the company well, we could secretly find Everett’s faults. When the time comes, we’ll be able to turn the tables on him,” James explained.

“Hmm, you’re right.” Dillion nodded, satisfied. This was why he was willing to leave just now. DillCorp was still in their hands, Dillion was convinced Mr. Riddle Sr. would take back DillCorp if he continued to make a fuss. It would be utter defeat if that happened.

“No wonder you asked me to leave.” Raine breathed a sigh of relief. She was alright as long as things did not turn out to be a complete failure.

“Besides, Everett lost out to us this time, so we’re not exactly defeated. His days won’t be any better than ours,” James added.

“He must be pissed off to get back at us after he suffered big time.” Raine clenched her teeth in frustration. Everett was indeed a sinister person.

“Well, that’s likely the reason,” Dillion agreed. Everett did not want his dirty deeds to be exposed, so he stuck preemptively, trying to frame him. Everett wanted to kill two birds with one stone. He wanted to cover up his desire to take over DillCorp and tear Dillon’s family away from the Riddle family. It was a cunning scheme.

However, Dillon was not a pushover. Since Everett wanted to play the game, Dillon was determined to show him who would come out on top.

The few people calmed down and regained their composure. Dillon swept an unsatisfied glance at Preston and warned, “You better stay away from Nicole. Or else, you’ll regret it in the future.”

“It’s not like I’m involved in the company’s management.”

Preston shrugged his shoulders. His interaction with others did not matter since his interest did not clash with anyone else’s, whether it was the company’s or his own interest. He could just do as he pleased since he was not interested in anything else.

Watching Preston leave, Dillon felt even more frustrated.’ How did I end up with this bastard son? He’s not even as helpful as James.’

“Dad, let’s go back first. We have to think for the long run,” James persuaded.

“Yeah, let’s go,” Dillon agreed. He was not as angry, with a new goal in mind.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Riddle family manor carried a slight tension after Dillon’s family was kicked out. The people in the room seemed somewhat stifled on the surface, yet there was a faint aura of ease.

Deep down, Everett was secretly delighted. He could not help but feel triumphant. ‘Dillon’s family dared to obstruct me and cause me great loss? I’d never let them have the last laugh.’

Everett thought of all his painstaking arrangements. He believed he could take over DillCorp. But in the end, he ended up with a company laden with massive debts and unpaid liabilities. He was so angry at the result! Dillon’s family was truly cunning, and Everett could only blame himself for being careless.
