Ch. 2396..2400: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2396-2400

Chapter 2396

No matter what, I can’t suffer with this dumbass. Each time he provokes me, he’ll get it from me. Aside from this messy inheritance issue, since neither one of us are willing to budge, he can go to hell with it.’

“Everett?” a voice called out.

Everett raised his head. He blinked at the person.

“What’s on your mind? I called you so many times,” James asked in a worried voice.

“Oh. I was just thinking about Uncle Dillon’s matter…” Everett shook his head, feeling annoyed.

Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Everett blankly. “That is final. We’re not going to discuss it anymore.”

“Okay,” Everett agreed obediently.

Mr. Riddle Sr. did not want to speak anymore, so he ushered everyone to eat. “Alright, let’s eat.”

Dexter suddenly spoke up. “Dad, we’re going to head back first. Please take good care of your health.”

Mr. Riddle Sr. thought to himself, ‘Yeah, what did I expect after being plotted against by my own blood? Disappointing… I

Mr. Riddle Sr. kept his face straight after discovering that his son, Dillon, was going the extra mile to ensure that he gets all the inheritance.

“Okay,” replied Mr. Riddle Sr.

Emma gave Gloria a look before turning around to leave with Dexter.

Ellar waved at Nicole as he left. “Nicole, I’ll go with you to the company tomorrow.”

Mr. Riddle Sr. gave an odd look to Ellar.

Ellar scratched the back of his head awkwardly, but smiled.” Grandpa, please take care of yourself. I’m going to go now.”

Mr. Riddle Sr. snorted.

Ellar gave Mr. Riddle Sr. a smile before leaving with Emery.

Mr. Riddle Sr. did not think too much into context as he did not have a good impression of Dillon’s family. Daniel’s entire family did not budge, and neither did Damien.

Mr. Riddle Sr. frowned. “Is something the matter?”

“No, we just want to spend time with you Dad,” replied Damien.

Mr. Riddle Sr. shooed at them. “There’s no need for you to spend time with me. This place is no longer in my hands.” He stood up and shooed Damien away.

Damien was shocked. He bit his lip and promised, “Dad, don’t worry about it. I’m sure I can find those two gardeners and get our family manor back.”

“I’ll be glad if you could stop thinking about it,” said Mr.

Riddle Sr.

However, Damien could not sit still. Agitated, he said in a rushed voice, “We’ll leave first.”

Mr. Riddle Sr. could tell that Damien was eager to find the evidence to prove that the gardeners had stolen it. However, Damien’s determination to make an excuse to leave had aroused Mr. Riddle Sr. ‘s suspicions. Did Damien have something to do with the theft?

Damien gritted his teeth and glared at Daniel before he left with Miley and Everett in tow.

In a low voice, Nicole asked, “Grandpa, is something a matter that you called us to stay behind for?”

Mr. Riddle Sr.’s expression softened up as he saw Nicole’s face. “I think you’re all aware of Everett’s plans. Dillon’s family had gotten quite sneaky, don’t you think?”

Chapter 2397

“We know. Is there something you want to assign us to do?” Sean asked with a serious expression.

It was evident that Mr. Riddle Sr. had shown his dissatisfaction with Damien and Dillon.

“This idea of splitting the family inheritance was initially brought up by Nicole, but right now everyone’s coming at each other’s throats. What’s more of a problem right now is that it’s going to be a huge problem for us,” said Mr. Riddle Sr.

“Yeah. Don’t worry, Grandpa. We know what to do.” Sean nodded.

Mr. Riddle Sr. did not want the Riddle family to burn down in flames. Naturally, protecting their family name was of utmost priority.

Mr. Riddle Sr. was relieved. “That’s good.”

Daniel looked at the stack of documents Everett had brought over. “Dad, can you tell us what’s really going on?

Why is Dillon…”

Mr. Riddle Sr. ‘s expression hardened. His eyes narrowed, and there was a hint of pain in his eyes. “It’s not important anymore.”

Every time this topic was brought up, it was like daggers piercing through Mr. Riddle Sr.’s heart repeatedly.

Daniel noticed that Mr. Riddle Sr. was reluctant to go on with the conversation.

“Daniel, let’s head home so he can rest,” said Gloria in a low voice. Gloria knew that Mr. Riddle Sr. wanted time alone.

Daniel sighed. “Alright.”

Daniel was worried but at the same time, he knew he had to give Mr. Riddle Sr. some time.

“Grandpa, we’ll take care of it. Don’t worry,” reassured Steve with a serious expression.

Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at everyone. “Okay, don’t worry about me and go home.”

Nicole picked up the dropped documents from the floor.” Grandpa, there are a lot of things happening recently, but don’t worry too much, okay? They’re heading in a good direction. You have to take care of yourself.”

Mr. Riddle Sr. nodded with a warm smile. “I will.”

After Daniel and his family left the family manor, the living room immediately fell silent. Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed.

“Sir, the results are quite hard for us to accept, but its fruitful. ” Alfred handed Mr. Riddle Sr. a cup of tea.

“If it weren’t for Nicole, it would be hard for me to decide the future of our family,” said Mr. Riddle Sr. with a pained expression.

“Yeah, Nicole indeed is a capable young lady and a blessing to the Riddle family,” Alfred said, in admiration.

Mr. Riddle Sr.’s eyes softened as he thought about Nicole.” Enough said. There are four houses that’ll be in the inheritance. Hopefully there won’t be any problems.”

“Yes, plus Sean is becoming more and more like a leader,” Alfred added.

Alfred knew Mr. Riddle Sr. wanted Nicole to take over the family business, but Nicole wanted Sean to take over instead. Mr. Riddle Sr. had no choice but to give in to Nicole’s wishes after considering that Sean was capable for the role and position.

Mr. Riddle Sr. took two sips from his tea before standing up. “I’m going to rest for a while.”

Mr. Riddle Sr. felt relieved. Tm glad all these matters are now solved. I don’t have to worry anymore about these unfilial brats, with Dexter’s family all sorted. The future of our family will be at peace.1

“Sir, let me help you,” Alfred offered, noticing that Mr. Riddle Sr. was deep in his thoughts.

Meanwhile, in the gardens of the family manor…

“Nicole, what are you doing with the evidence?” Stanley asked with a hint of doubt in his voice.

Suddenly, everyone turned to stare at Nicole’s actions.

Chapter 2398

“Let’s go back and take a look,” Nicole said casually. She did not share with anyone that she was about to start a new investigation.

“This incident kind of hit too close to home for Grandpa,” said Spencer, sighing. He sympathized with Mr. Riddle Sr.

Her voice serious, Gloria pointed out, “Our family has really had its fair share of problems recently, but I hope that when you babies get married, everyone’s able to have a good time. IV

What with the Riddle family affairs, everyone needed time off to wind down.

“Come to think of it, the wedding is near. It’s less than a month away,” said Daniel.

Gloria’s face brightened at the mention of her sons’ wedding.

Everyone climbed into the car as they chatted among one another.

Sean called out to his sister. “Nicole, come with us.”

“Okay!”

Nicole had a hunch that Sean called her over, probably because he had something that he wanted to discuss with her. Nicole went along and climbed onto his car.

“We come together, we leave together.” Steve followed

Nicole and climbed into the same car as his siblings.

Smiling, Nicole teased Steve, “You might as well say what you want to listen in, instead of beating around the bush.”

Steve shrugged. “You both will tell me in the end.”

Steve knew that he would be involved sooner or later. ‘If they include me into their conversation, I might just be able to help out.’

The car started and Sean asked Nicole, “Do you think something’s fishy about Everett’s evidence?”

Sean did not trust easily when he noticed Nicole mentioning she wanted to peek. He knew that Nicole had said it, so their parents did not worry.

Nicole handed a document over to Sean. “Just take a look yourself. I just think this is way too clean.”

“You mean, there’s a possibility they forged this?” asked Steve.

Nicole frowned, whispering, “I can’t exactly confirm this, but

I think it’s a little odd.”

Sean handed the document back to Nicole. “Well, you have your reasons to be suspicious. Maybe Everett wants to take revenge on Dillon.”

Nicole nodded in understanding. “I think it’s a possibility, since Everett suffered quite a huge loss.”

Everett did not dare mention this to Mr. Riddle Sr. as it was embarrassing. But that Everett could not escape when Mr.

Riddle Sr. saw right through her.

“I think Grandpa happened to know it was forged. Otherwise, why would he punish all of them?” Steve asked, a little puzzled.

Nicole waved the document in her hand. “This could be our lead.”

Though they hand the evidence in their hands, they could not help but raise their suspicion.

Steve was confused. “But what does Grandpa mean?”

Sean looked at Steve, with a calm expression. “Our family will get their peace once and for all.”

Mr. Riddle Sr. had not spoken a word, yet his actions to this had already explained everything. He was unsatisfied with the current situation the Riddle family were in.

Nicole’s proposal to divide the family inheritance was already an obvious move. The greed of everyone else had them not considering the company’s management, only their own.

It was clear that Mr. Riddle Sr. knew what was going on.

“What Sean said is right. We have to keep it up,” said Nicole with a smile.

‘For all the hard work they’ve done, they ought to have some mental support,’ thought Nicole.

Sean shot Nicole a look. “So you didn’t agree to inherit the entire fortune because you knew that something like this would happen?”

Chapter 2399

‘He was held accountable for all the things he did all by himself, I guess. So I can say he had quite a lot on his plate.’

Nicole waved the thought away. “I mean, they’re the incompetent ones.”

‘It’s our family inheritance. I don’t see why they’re making such a huge fuss about it just to ruin everything.’

“True. Their stupidity and incompetence are incredible.”

Steve nodded. ‘If they had worked harder, things wouldn’t turn out like this.’

Sean glanced at Steve and Nicole. “Yeah, all of them are incompetent. Only I am competent enough.”

“Sean, we’re going to help you out,” Steve said, with a smile.

“You should learn how to manage a company. I think you can practice with DillCorp when I hand it over to you,” said Sean indifferently.

“You aren’t serious about that, are you?!”

Steve had been under Sean’s wings since he joined the Riddle Corporation. He had minimal experience of how to run a company.

“Preston will be there too. We can’t have him idling around,” Sean said, as he started planning ahead to try and troubleshoot the problem.

Nicole could not help but smirk to herself, as she watched Steve and Sean already starting to make plans for the company’s future. Her eyes moved to the piece of document and she stared at it for a while.

At the Riddle residence’s living room. Gloria was checking if everyone had returned home. “If you have nothing else to do, please head upstairs and go to bed. We’ve all had a long day.”

Stanley and Spencer both went upstairs obediently.

Daniel glanced at Nicole. “Have you guys discussed what to do?”

Nicole nodded her head. “Dad, don’t worry. We know how to handle it.”

“There are still things that Uncle Damien and Dillon have yet to settle, but we’ll do it according to what Grandpa has instructed you guys to do,” said Daniel, sounding helpless.

Daniel was still stunned at the news. He had not foreseen it coming. Chills went down his spine as he thought about Damien and Dillon.

Nicole saw that her father’s complexion was quite pale.” Mom, Dad, I think you guys should rest. Please leave the rest to us. We’ll take good care of it.”

“Okay,” Gloria immediately agreed, knowing that her husband had a rough day. She immediately helped him up the stairs.

Nicole sighed and regained her composure before heading upstairs.

The twins were already fast asleep. Nicole went into her room and saw that Jared was still awake, tapping away on his laptop.

“You’re back.” Jared closed his laptop as he saw Nicole enter the room.

“Yeah.” Nicole stretched herself after she placed the file on their bedside table. She took a seat.

Seeing how haggard Nicole was, Jared frowned. “Is the situation too much for you to handle?”

“Too much wouldn’t be the right term. I could say it’s too shocking.”

Nicole filled Jared in on the incident of how Everett had found evidence that tied Dillon to the poisoning of Mr.

Riddle Sr.

Jared took a glance at the document that was placed on their bedside table. “Is it that?”

“Yeah.”

Jared had a hunch that Nicole was not surprised by the incident at all. He nodded in response. Then, his eyes darkened as he spoke in a low voice. “Do you suspect that the evidence had been tampered with?”

Nicole shrugged. “I thought it was a bit strange to begin with, so I brought it home with me.”

Nicole could not determine if the evidence had been

tampered with or not. However, the matter of poisoning Mr. Riddle Sr. could be between the two families, Damien and Dillon, noting how they were the most eager ones to split the shares.

‘Those two are the most suspicious ones among the rest.’

‘Til give this to Max, so he can start investigating,” said Jared.

“No. I’ll have Lulu get someone to dig out some evidence.”

Nicole felt indebted to Max. After all, Max was already a busy person, and she did not want to be a burden.
