Ch. 2411..2415: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2411-2415

MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2411-Ryder furrowed his brows and said, “It’s probably because we accepted this task.”

Since Jared was involved, there was only one possibility-it was for Nicole’s sake.

“Oh.” Gary also realized it. “We’re helping Nicole, and Mr. Johnston doesn’t want to owe us a favor.”

He actually felt that Jared was overthinking. They were helping Nicole willingly, and regardless of how Nicole perceived it, Gary believed they were friends.

“This way, well end up owing Mr. Johnston,” Ryder said with a serious tone.

“What?” Gary was puzzled.

“Nicole helped me back then, so I suppose I’m repaying her favor now.” Ryder believed that helping Nicole was only fair.

Preston glanced at the two of them and said, “Stop dwelling on it. This is a good thing. Weren’t you two always looking for investors for your new company? Having the Johnston Group invest is a solution to your major problem.”

Furthermore, with the help of the Johnston Group, he believed this new artificial intelligence company would thrive.

“Yes, that’s right. As long as we manage it well, Mr.

Johnston will profit off us too,” Gary added. They were doing

their best to repay Jared, given that they had no other way to repay him.

“Just handle the investment matter yourself. Don’t worry and just go ahead boldly.” Preston waved his hand, indicating that the assistant could handle the details.

The assistant glanced at Gary, who nodded, and left the room.

Preston then turned to Ryder and said, “Let’s continue discussing your idea. We should study it closely.”

“Sure…”

During the lunch break, Nicole and Lulu left the office and went to a restaurant to have a meal.

As they sat down and placed their orders, they chatted casually while waiting for their food.

“Yesterday, Spencer, the violinist, was hailed as a hero after rescuing someone. Both were ultimately taken to the hospital…” The voice of the news anchor echoed from the TV, immediately capturing the attention of Nicole, Lulu, and those around them.

“Wow, a hero saving the damsel in distress!”

“Stop fangirling over Spencer. He has a fiancee.”

“They’re not even married yet. Besides, I heard this girl is Spencer’s junior. She might be more suitable for Spencer.”

Lulu’s expression turned somber as she listened to the gossip of the people around them.

“The most suitable for him, only Spencer knows best,” Nicole said to console her friend.

Lulu sighed and bit her lip. She then looked at Nicole and said, “It’s not because of that. I just found something odd about the news.”

“Hmm?” Nicole was puzzled. ‘Isn’t this kind of news common in the entertainment industry?’

“Last night, Icyln’s assistant called Spencer to the hospital, saying Icyln hadn’t woken up yet. But Spencer was injured too. What were they thinking?” Lulu furrowed her eyebrows in disapproval. “I’m even suspecting that Icyln arranged this news.”

Nicole squinted upon hearing this. ‘It’s possible.’

“I understand Icyln’s intention, but I can’t accept this behavior.” Lulu looked upset. She was not being petty, but she had a nagging feeling that this accident might have been deliberately arranged.

That was their practice room, and they had been using it for years. Nothing had ever happened until yesterday, and Icyln just had to be the one who got injured. It was also weird that Spencer managed to save her just in time.

Nicole frowned as she asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Lulu seemed to have something on her mind.

MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2412-Lulu bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before whispering, “If I tell you, will you think I’m narrow-minded?”

“Well, you have to tell me first so I can decide.” Nicole chuckled. How could she make a judgment without knowing the details?

Lulu then explained her thoughts to Nicole. As Nicole listened, she fell silent, and Lulu grew nervous as she wondered if she was wrong about it.

“It’s not entirely impossible.” Nicole agreed with Lulu’s assumption after thinking about it.

“You think so too?” Lulu’s eyes brightened. She felt relieved to have someone agree with her thoughts.

Nicole nodded. “While we don’t have evidence yet, your theory does make sense.”

“Even if we had evidence, there’s not much we could do. What can we do?” Lulu sighed in frustration.

Icyln’s behavior was self-destructive, and while they might feel annoyed and angry, there was not much they could say or do about it.

Nicole squinted slightly. If they had evidence, that would change the situation. However, since there was no evidence at the moment, Nicole did not mention her own suspicions to Lulu.

“Never mind, let’s not talk about her. We don’t want to ruin the mood.” Their lunch arrived, and Lulu invited Nicole to eat, hoping to steer away from the unpleasant topic.

Nicole glanced at Lulu and did not say anything more. She just changed the subject while they ate.

After lunch, the two of them left the restaurant and started walking back to their office.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance, a car pulled up, and Lawrence stepped out.

“Nicole.” Lawrence approached Nicole with a smile in his eyes.

“Leo,” Nicole greeted politely, not showing any estrangement or distance toward him.

“Mr. Lawrence, did you happen to be passing by, or did you come to visit Nicole?” Lulu asked. She seemed calm but she was also exuding an unwelcoming vibe.

Lawrence glanced at Lulu with a darkened gaze.

“Leo, what brought you here?” Nicole interjected at the right time, shifting Lawrence’s attention.

“Just came to check on you.” Lawrence went back to his amiable demeanor.

Lulu frowned as she had sensed an oppressive aura from Lawrence earlier.

“We just got back. Let’s go upstairs together,” Nicole suggested, inviting Lawrence to join them.

Soon, they stood in front of Nicole’s office door.

“Nicole, I’ll go make some coffee,” Lulu said, heading towards the pantry.

“Let’s head inside.” Nicole smiled lightly as she led Lawrence into the office.

They took a seat on the couch, and Nicole asked with a faint smile, “Are you really just here to see me?”

Even though Lawrence said he came by to check on her, she suspected there was probably something he wanted to discuss.

“It’s actually something personal,” Lawrence said with a concerned look. “And it’s related to you.”

“Me?” Nicole furrowed her brows, puzzled. She could not figure out what personal matter Lawrence could possibly have with her.

“Your memory hasn’t fully recovered all this while. Recently, I heard about a renowned neuroscientist from abroad who has come up with new research. He’s giving a lecture in San Joto, and I was thinking of inviting him to examine you. There might be an unexpected outcome.” Lawrence continued cautiously, “So, I wanted to ask for your opinion.”

Nicole’s eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that over the past few years, Lawrence had not mentioned anything about her amnesia. She had arranged all the medical consultations and treatment arrangements herself.

 

MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2413-On the surface, Lawrence appeared supportive and willing to accompany Nicole for her examination. However, now that Nicole reflected on it, she realized that each time she had gone for her check-ups and treatments, Lawrence’s anxiety seemed to be greater than hers. At the time, she had thought that Lawrence was just being concerned for her, but now she could not help but feel differently.

Especially this time when Lawrence had proactively suggested finding a doctor for her, which made her even more suspicious.

“What’s wrong?” Lawrence asked softly when he noticed Nicole hesitating.

“Nothing,” Nicole replied, masking her thoughts with a faint smile. “Though I don’t have high hopes, it’s worth trying.”

Lawrence reassured her, “Even though there hasn’t been any progress for all these years, you’re now back in San Joto. You’re in a familiar environment, so things might turn out differently.”

Nicole nodded with a slight smile, saying, “Thanks, Lawrence.”

There was a brief, strange moment as Lawrence’s expression stiffened slightly. Although Nicole was thanking him, he felt an inexplicable sense of oddness.

“Coffee is here.” At this moment, Lulu entered the room,

NSZ

breaking the unusual atmosphere.

“Thank you,” said Lawrence.

Lulu smiled. “You’re welcome, Mr. Lawrence.”

After saying that, Lulu did not leave and remained standing to the side, seemingly unaware that her presence was disrupting the atmosphere.

Lawrence’s gaze darkened slightly. He continued chatting with Nicole for a bit before leaving.

Once he was gone, Lulu asked in a hushed voice, “Nicole, why was he here?”

“Nothing much. He just mentioned that there’s an international expert in town who might be able to help with my condition,” Nicole explained.

Lulu seemed somewhat skeptical as she furrowed her brows. “Is the doctor he found reliable?”

“Why?” Nicole could not help but laugh. ‘Why is Lulu so resistant towards Lawrence?’

“It’s been so many years. If there really was a doctor who could treat you, you would’ve been better ages ago, isn’t it?” Lulu was confused.

“He means well, and there’s no harm in giving it a try,” Nicole replied calmly.

“Do you need me to accompany you?” Lulu asked.

Nicole tilted her head slightly, looking puzzled. “What’s going on with you? You seem to have some sort of

resistance towards Lawrence.”

Lulu had indeed been acting a bit strangely today, and her attitude towards Lawrence had not gone unnoticed.

“Just a little bit,” Lulu admitted. “I overheard a conversation between Mr. Sean and Mr. Steve the other day, and…”

“What did they say?” Nicole’s intuition told her that it must be related to Lawrence.

“They mentioned they had been investigating Lawrence for a long time, but they still hadn’t found anything wrong with him. It made them suspicious, wondering if Lawrence was being cautious,” Lulu explained.

Nicole squinted slightly, and her voice unconsciously grew lower. “What do you mean?”

Lulu shook her head. “I only overheard that part, and then I left. I couldn’t just stand there and eavesdrop, right? But since they suspect Lawrence, I can’t help but think that it must be his problem.”

Nicole smiled as she realized that Lulu was fiercely protective.

“Nicole, even though he saved you, please be cautious,” Lulu advised. She had not heard the specifics of the conversation, but she believed that Nicole should keep her distance from Lawrence.

“Alright, I understand. You can go about your business now,” Nicole agreed, dismissing Lulu.

MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2414-“Sure. Just let me know if you need anything,” Lulu said before leaving the office.

Nicole leaned back on the sofa, her gaze gradually darkening. ‘What could Sean and Steve be investigating Lawrence for, and for such a long time? What were they suspicious of?’

After some thought, Nicole decided to ask Steve to find out what was going on.

With a determined expression, she got up and left her office.

Downstairs, Lawrence got into his car after leaving the building.

“Mr. Lawrence, how did it go?” Ian asked softly.

“She hasn’t recovered her memory yet,” Lawrence replied, histone heavy.

Ian cautiously inquired, “And about the computer?”

Lawrence had visited the Riddle residence and accessed Nolan’s computer, so they could not possibly be unaware of it. ‘How did they react?’ Ian wondered.

“She didn’t mention it. However, Nolan has been using the computer as usual these days, and everything seems normal.”

Nolan continued to use his computer as if nothing had happened. He had also shared the way to unlock the second protection stage of his laptop with Lawrence. It seemed like even though they might know he had accessed the computer, there was no suspicion directed at him.

However, the more this was the case, the less he could afford to touch Nolan’s computer again. His previous actions could be dismissed as unintentional, but if he tried again and failed, he would have no chances left.

“Mr. Lawrence, do you feel that… they’ve become somewhat distant from you?” Ian paused to find a gentler way to phrase it. “They’re not as close to you as before.”

Ian even felt that since their return to San Joto, it wasn’t just Nicole, but even Nolan and Lana seemed more distant from Lawrence. Though it was not evident on the surface, he just could not fight this feeling.

Lawrence shot Ian a cold glance. Ian turned pale and refrained from saying anything further.

Looking away, Lawrence’s eyes darkened. He was well aware of the change in Nicole’s attitude towards him. But that was not important. What mattered more was Nicole’s feelings for Jared.

Even though Nicole had not recovered her memory, it was evident that she had once again accepted Jared.

Then there was the issue regarding the Five Crests tasks on the Hunter. He had tried to hire someone to probe into it but the person who posted the task was too cautious, so he had not managed to discover who was behind it.

However, he suspected it was Nicole. He worried that she might have regained her memories and might know about everything.

Eyes growing even darker, Lawrence then made a phone call. “Hey, are you done with the arrangements?”

“It’s ready. She can come in anytime,” the other person replied.

“Remember, I don’t want her to recover her memories,” Lawrence stated. Then, he hung up.

At the moment, what mattered most to him was preventing Nicole from regaining her memories. The expert he had brought in would help him achieve that.

Meanwhile, in Steve’s office, Steve sighed when he saw Nicole’s serious expression. “We didn’t intend to keep this from you. After all, he saved you. We suspected him, but we didn’t want to trouble you. That’s why we investigated him in secret.”

“When did you start suspecting him?” Nicole was not angry, of course. She knew her two brothers were looking out for her.

“From the moment he arrived at the Riddle family and directly called out my name,” Steve admitted candidly. Since that day, he had felt that there was something off about Lawrence.

MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2415-Nicole’s pupils shrunk. It was the first time Lawrence had come to the Riddle family, so how could he have recognized Steve among all of her older brothers?

While she understood that it did not necessarily mean that Lawrence only recognized Steve, it did imply that he was extremely familiar with the Riddle family, possibly even more so than she thought.

An unsettling feeling crept into her heart, and Nicole’s face grew pale.

According to Jared, they had met Lawrence while searching for the Brave. Then, when she was met with danger,

Lawrence had saved her. Even though he knew about her identity, it still did not seem to warrant such intimate knowledge of the Riddle family unless Lawrence had done his research.

“We discussed it at the time. Since you had no memories and Lawrence saved you, it wouldn’t have made sense to burden you with this information. It would only add to your troubles,” Steve explained.

Nicole nodded gently and then asked, “What did you find out?”

“That’s what Sean and I find strange. After investigating for so long, we haven’t found anything. In fact, it’s made us even more suspicious. Everything we wanted to find has been carefully hidden by Lawrence,” Steve replied.

Nicole bit her lip. “You and Sean should stop your investigation.”

“Why? Do you trust him that much?” Steve asked in concern.

Nicole shook her head. “No. Actually, I’ve also started to feel that I shouldn’t rely on him as much as before. So, don’t worry about me anymore. I’m aware of it now and I’ll be cautious.”

Steve felt relieved. “Alright, I’m glad you’re confident in handling it yourself.” Then, he smiled. “Back then, Sean said you’re intelligent. So if there were an issue, you’d probably sense it yourself. It’s better than us telling you and making things difficult for you.”

Indeed, Nicole had now realized the problem herself. If she was mentally prepared, she probably would not be harmed by Lawrence.

“You two certainly have a lot of faith in me.” Nicole smiled.

“Of course. You can count on that. You might’ve lost your memory, but your natural talents are still intact,” Steve replied. That was why they were so at ease handing the Riddle Corporation to her.

After clarifying the situation, Nicole left Steve’s office feeling reassured.

Nicole smiled. Both Sean and Steve had done so much for her without her knowing. If Lulu had not accidentally overheard their conversation, she might have never known.

“Nicole.” It was Lulu’s voice. She immediately appeared by Nicole’s side and whispered, “So, what’s going on? What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing. They just thought that since they’re not familiar with Lawrence, they wanted to know more about him.” Nicole downplayed the situation, choosing not to reveal their mistrust towards Lawrence.

Lulu nodded. “Oh, that makes sense. Even though he saved you, he’s still essentially a stranger. It’s normal for them to be concerned about you.”

As they talked, they left the building and headed to their respective offices.

Nicole sighed as she leaned back against her seat, deep in thought.

She thought about the whole ordeal that started once she regained consciousness, the five years she spent on the island, and the past few months when she returned to San Joto…

She could not explain why, but her heart felt extremely heavy.

Later that day, the sun was setting, and it was closing time. Everyone started to leave the office.

Nicole and Lulu walked out of the building and immediately saw a car stopping in front of them. A man then walked out of the car.

“Hey, Spencer.” Lulu smiled and ran towards him.
