Ch. 2421..2425: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2421-2425

MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2421-“Yeah.” Nicole nodded. “I suspect that our treatment sessions might have worked a little, other than the fact that there were external shocks involved.”

These two factors might have a correlation, and that gave Nicole some confidence in being able to regain her memories again.

“Since it has been effective, I’ll go through the treatment again based on the current situation. Let me know if you have any ideas,” Martin gently stated.

“You’ve done well, and I’ve gotten this far because of your help. Well just proceed with any ideas or proposals you’ve got. I don’t have any suggestions at the moment.” Nicole replied.

Indeed, she had begun to believe that her condition was getting better, and it was all thanks to Martin.

Martin smiled. “You’re being too modest. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have done it myself.”

After all, Nicole was a genius. As of now, Nicole’s skills and knowledge in medicine were ranked second in the world, right behind James Dade.

“I’ll leave it to you for now. If the progress is still stagnant, we’ll research and discuss any possible solutions together.” Nicole smiled.

She had complete trust in Martin, and partly due to the fact that she did not have the energy to come up with ideas of her own at the moment.

In return, Martin glanced at Nicole and nodded with a serious look on his face, “Okay. We’ll work hard and help you regain your memories as soon as possible.”

“We will.” Nicole nodded and smiled.

A few moments later, Martin sent Nicole back to the Riddle residence, where she said her goodbye and got down from the car. After he saw that Nicole had entered the house, Martin looked away, smiled, and drove off.

Martin felt happy to see that Nicole was doing well in life. He hoped that she would continue to lead a happy life. To him, the simple act of being able to see her in a great state made his efforts all worth it.

Time flew by quickly, and just like that, two days had passed.

Nicole arrived at the office as usual, and not long after, Lulu entered her office and whispered, “I’m afraid DillCorp is in real trouble this time around.”

“Everett and Harvey have made a move?” Nicole’s eyes darkened, having waited for days for them to do something.

Lulu nodded. “Yes. Everett had suffered a bitter defeat the last time. He has been looking for an opportunity to take his revenge on them.”

As he had gotten lucky this time, this opportunity was not one he would pass on.

“What has James been doing?” Nicole asked with a heavy tone.

“Oh him? You’ve guessed it right. He seems to be helping Dillon by managing the company on the surface, but behind their backs, he has already begun paving a way out for himself.” Lulu smiled.

“I see.” A cold light flashed in Nicole’s eyes. “Let’s leave Everett aside and focus on James now.”

Lulu widened her eyes in shock. “Are you saying that Everett will lose this round again?”

The thing that shocked Lulu was the notion that James would be winning again.

“After all, they look down on James. Everett’s objective is to attack and overwhelm DillCorp, whereas James’ goal is to drain DillCorp of its funds. Which of these do you think will be easier to achieve?” Nicole raised her brows as she replied to Lulu.

Lulu gave it some thought, and soon, she came to a realization. “Oh, I get it now!”

That was the real reason as to why James had been doing what he was told whilst pretending to be on Raine’s and Dillion’s side. As a matter of fact, he had been working on his own goal of seizing DillCorp for himself. After he had completed his objective, everyone else would be left with nothing to take from the company.

“Smart cookie.” Nicole smiled and praised her.

Hearing that, Lulu smiled in embarrassment. “You’re the genius here. Without you, how would I grasp all of this knowledge?”

“You should be more confident in yourself.” Nicole looked at Lulu, giving her some encouragement.

Ever since Lulu joined that company, she had helped Nicole with a great number of things. In addition, Nicole could assign a myriad of tasks to Lulu without much worry.

“Hehe.” Lulu scratched her head. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work.”

“Alright. We’ll have lunch together this afternoon.” Nicole smiled.

Chapter 2422

"Sure."Lulu nodded and sauntered off happily.

Seeing that Lulu had left, Nicole steadied her gaze and smirked.

This time around, she could finally put an end to the drama with DillCorp. After she had taken Dillion, James and Raine down, Everett and Damien would be the only ones left for her to deal with. She would never let anyone associated with Damien and Dillion off the hook.

‘Even if I don't know who the culprit behind this entire issue is, they were still the ones responsible for grandpa's attempted murder. On top of that, they even forced grandpa to split the company's shares. I can only imagine how angry and dejected grandpa was at that moment to have gone through that!’ Nicole thought.

Meanwhile, at DillCorp, James and Raine had just emerged from Dillon's office.

"You really think you can do it?" Raine asked James with a worried look on her face.

"We have to find a way. There's no way we're going to sit and watch Everett bully the heck out of you.” James looked at Raine affectionately.

Feeling touched by those words, Raine's eyes reddened. *James, you've been the best for me.”

"I'm your husband. Of course it's only right for me to want nothing but the best for you.” James stroked Raine's hair as he said. "Don't worry, I'll try my best.”

"Alright, I trust you.” Raine took a step forward and leaned in, burying her face in James’ chest.

James lightly patted her back as a sign of comfort, though little did Raine know, his eyes were cold and emotionless.

‘Now that everything is almost ready, my plan will soon come to fruition. I'll see if anyone dares to look down on me after this. My future will be much brighter soon, and no one will ever belittle me anymore!’ he thought.

At the headquarters of the Riddle Corporation, Nicole had just finished arranging and filing all of the documents. So, she lifted her head to look at the clock, and that was when she realized that it was almost time for lunch.

With that, she got up and stretched her arms. Then, she stepped out of her office.

Coincidentally, Lulu had also wandered over to look for Nicole, and as soon as she saw Nicole, she smiled and said,

"Perfect timing! I was just about to call you out.”

"It's almost time, so let's go,” Nicole said.

"Sure!"

Both of them took the elevator and arrived at the ground floor, and after they had exited the office building, Lulu suggested, "Should we have fish and chips for lunch today?”

"Sure." Nicole replied happily, as she was craving for it too.

After they had hailed a cab and gotten in, the both of them arrived at an establishment somewhere near Royal Creek

Institute. When they were students, they used to frequent this particular restaurant for their fish and chips.

"This place still looks the same after so many years. Whenever June and I miss you, we'd meet here and have a meal,” Lulu explained to Nicole.

Nicole had been informed that the design of the shop was the same as it was many years ago. Feeling a connection to the place, she found herself looking around.

“Let's go. We'll sit there." Lulu pulled Nicole by the hand and brought her to a corner she had found. "We used to sit here often."

After they had ordered their meal, Lulu sighed. "It feels like a dream, you know, coming here with you after so long.”

In the past, whenever Lulu came here with June, they would be in a bad mood. So, they would simply dwell on the memories they had made together as a trio, even if neither of them had any appetite.

"We should call June and get her to come here when we're on break. We can all eat together at once,” Nicole suggested with a smile on her face.

Upon giving it some thought, Lulu nodded. "Sure thing! Let's do it before we get married. Consider it an item on our bachelorette trip!"

Chapter 2423

"Your wedding day is fast approaching, so we'll have to do this as soon as possible.” Nicole teased, unable to help herself.

If they were to put it on hold, it would no longer be considered a part of their bachelorette trip anymore. Rather, it would become a celebration of their marriage. "Why don't we do it this weekend?" Lulu suggested, echoing Nicole's ideas.

"Sure, can you inform June when the time comes.” Nicole agreed, already looking forward to it.

"Sure. We'll have a huge feast that day!" Lulu said proudly. * It'll be my treat!”

Not bothering to fight for the bill, Nicole responded, "Sure Thing.”

As they had been longtime friends, neither of them had been calculative with one another at all. And since it was Lulu's wish to buy them all dinner, Nicole did not mind granting it.

Soon, the fish and chips were served, with the aroma of the paprika instantly making them salivate. The both of them held up their utensils and began to dig in. Their foreheads were beaded with sweat, and their cheeks were red as they both enjoyed their meal.

However, it was then that Harvey entered the restaurant, and with a sweeping glance, he spotted Nicole sitting at the corner. Then, he narrowed his eyes.

He had seen Nicole taking a cab on the way there, so he was curious as to why Nicole would be in that area. Initially, he had thought that she might be here to Mr. Riddle Sr.

Unexpectedly, Nicole was just there to have lunch of fish and chips with Lulu.

Harvey began to observe how happy Nicole was while chatting with Lulu, and that beaming smile on her face stunned him. It stopped him from approaching them, and he just stood there watching them.

Then, the waiter approached Harvey and asked, "Sir, would you like a table for one?”

Coming back to his senses, Harvey pointed to Nicole's table.

"I'm with that table over there. Please include a set of cutleries.”

As soon as he had spoken, Harvey approached Nicole, his tall figure casting a dark shadow on Nicole.

Nicole's eyes narrowed, and her gaze turned cold. She did not even bother to see who it was, but she was certain that it was not Jared. In fact, a sense of annoyance was beginning to swell from within.

“Harvey!” Lulu lifted her head first, frowning when she saw that the figure was indeed Harvey.

Nicole narrowed her eyes into a glare.

Then, she leaned backwards to get herself off Harvey's shadow, and in a cold voice, she asked, "How may I help you, Mr. Ellison?"

“I was just passing by and thought of having some fish and chips here too.” Harvey immediately plonked himself on the seat beside Nicole.

With eyes as cold as frost, Nicole replied, "Grab your own table if you'd like to eat. You're not welcome at this one."

For a moment, Harvey actually felt like he had returned back in time to his schooling days: Nicole was treating him the same way he had treated her when they were still students.

"Sir, here are your utensils.” The waiter placed the utensils down in front of Harvey.

Seeing this, Nicole quickly said, "I don't know this person. Please ask him to leave our table.”

"Uh..." The waiter, perplexed, gave Harvey a puzzled look. Then, he anxiously turned to look at Nicole again. He did not know what to do.

"You've heard it. Get to work now. After all, we're your customers. You'll have to be responsible when we're being harassed by others,” Lulu reminded upon noticing that the waiter was not doing anything.

"Well, okay,” the waiter acquiesced.

"Sir, I'll get you a new table," he said as he was about to remove Harvey's utensils.

"You may leave now.” Harvey immediately snatched the utensils away and glared at the waiter.

This left the waiter in a state of confusion and awkwardness. ‘What is wrong with these people?’

"I'll pay for this table." Harvey declared, having lost his patience.

Hearing this, the waiter turned to Nicole and said, "Let me know if you need any assistance.”

 

Chapter 2424

Soon, the waiter walked off, though he remained within walking distance from the table.

Nicole narrowed her eyes and looked at Lulu, who instantly understood her signal and nodded. Then, Lulu stood up and left.

Harvey glanced at Lulu without uttering a word to her. Then, he turned to Nicole and said, "Come to think about it, it has been years since I've been back to Royal Creek Institute.”

"Don't you come to this area to visit Mr. Ellison from time to time?” Nicole glanced at Harvey as he spoke.

Harvey's eyes darkened and he looked away. It seemed as if he did not wish to answer the question.

Noting this, Nicole raised her eyebrows and observed

Harvey's expression. ‘What does that mean?’

At that moment, Lulu had returned. She turned to Nicole and nodded slightly before taking a seat.

"Nicole, let's eat. The taste is still the same as before,” Lulu stated, pretending as if nothing had happened and continued eating with Nicole.

Although Harvey had insisted on staying at the table, it was obvious that the two ladies had disregarded his presence. However, it also seemed to them that Harvey was not feeling ashamed at all. He brazenly continued sitting there.

Even with the utensils laying on the table, he was not there to eat, so he continued staring at Nicole.

"Are the both of you sincere about treating me to a meal? You only ordered fish and chips...Harvey?” Mr. Ellison complained as soon as he stepped into the premises. But the moment he saw Harvey, his expression froze, almost as if he was caught off guard.

"Sir, didn't you say that you've eaten lunch already?" Lulu smiled while she stood up and gave her seat to Mr. Ellison.

Then, she ordered a cup of tea for him.

"Sir, have a seat.” Nicole smiled and welcomed Mr. Ellison to the table.

Mr. Ellison regained his composure and sat down, and as he looked at Nicole, he said, "I did not expect the both of you to spend your lunch break here just to have a meal.”

"We just had a sudden craving." Nicole smiled as she replied. Then, Mr. Ellison turned to Harvey and asked, "Did Harvey drop by for a visit?"

"I bumped into them,” Harvey replied coldly.

"Oh." Mr. Ellison uttered with a sorrowful look on his face.

Nicole narrowed her eyes and carefully observed the duo of Mr. Ellison and Harvey. She could tell that something was off between the two of them. It was a meeting between the grandfather and grandson, where Mr. Ellison was indifferent to the presence of his grandson, who seemed to have had his guard up. Indeed, it was a weird interaction.

Nicole turned to look at Lulu, after which she darted her eyes at the grandfather-grandson duo for a quick second before looking away. Then, Lulu lightly shook her head to indicate that she did not know what was going on either.

However, Lulu could also tell that the tension was palpable between the both of them, as if Mr. Ellison was owing

Harvey something. However, the entire Ellison Group was now under Harvey's command, and Mr. Ellison had completely relinquished all of his power and positions to

Harvey too. As such, it would be impossible for Harvey to be dissatisfied with what his grandfather had given him now.

"Nicole, I've had my lunch already. I came over to see you since I heard that you're here. If there's nothing else, I'll return to the institute now.” Mr. Ellison stated, ready to leave as he did not seem as if he could keep up the charade any longer.

"Alright. I'll visit you another day.” Nicole replied, not pressing him to stay.

Mr. Ellison then glanced at Harvey and walked off, with each step of his low and heavy.

Nicole's gaze darkened as she stared at Mr. Ellison's figure.

She was now even more confident in her guess — a conflict had erupted between Mr. Ellison and Harvey

"Harvey, you're not here to eat, and yet, you don't want to leave. What are you trying to do here?" Lulu pointed out, seeing that Harvey was still there.

Harvey shrugged and stood up. Then, he turned to Nicole and said, "Fine, I'll see you another time.”

As soon as he had spoken, Harvey strode out of the establishment.

Chapter 2425

Lulu kept her eyes on Harvey until he had stepped out of the restaurant.

Then, she issued a sigh of relief, “Finally, he's gone.”

"Let's eat. We need to head back after we're done eating.” Nicole remained calm, as if Harvey's appearance had not affected her at all.

Lulu looked outside again, and in a soft voice, she asked, * What do you think happened between Mr. Ellison and Harvey? They seem to be behaving oddly.”

The two of them had never thought of looking for Mr. Ellison when they decided to go to the restaurant. All they had in mind was to have lunch and return to the office.

Unexpectedly, they bumped into Harvey, who proceeded to harass them. So, they had come up with a last minute decision to find Mr. Ellison, just so they could get him to chase Harvey away. Little did they know that they would happen upon an unexpected discovery.

Such was probably why Mr. Ellison had been staying in the institute recently. He had even moved his belongings into the institute now. Therefore, it would not be a stretch to say that the two of them had issues with one another.

"You've been living in San Joto all this time. Have you heard anything?" Nicole queried.

Nicole did not remember anything. After all, she had not been living in San Joto for five years already, and thus, she would not know much even if she still remembered everything. At this point, it was a question of whether was up to date with whatever had happened between the Ellisons or not.

Lulu shook her head. "I really don't know anything."

Whatever Lulu knew about was pretty much public information, and that was Harvey had taken over everything from the Ellison family in a short span of time while Mr. Ellison had retired and was enjoying his life free of most responsibilities. He was satisfied with watching over the institute.

Nicole pursed her lips and said, “There is definitely something wrong. I'll ask Jared about it when I get back."

She thought that Jared would know something about it.

After all, Jared had collaborated with Mr. Ellison when it came to a myriad of projects, all of which were discontinued because of Harvey.

"Jared might know something about it.” Lulu nodded.

"Let's eat.” Nicole smiled.

“Alright.” Lulu nodded and continued eating in peace.

When they came out of the restaurant after lunch, Nicole turned her gaze to the Royal Creek Institute, her eyes darkening.

Although she did not remember much about the past, she had an inexplicable feeling about the place from the two encounters she had with Mr. Ellison. These meetings had given her a better understanding about who she was and everything that had occurred here.

With Mr. Ellison's prominent status, and Harvey's outstanding performances, they should be prancing around in high spirits. Yet, Mr. Ellison appeared to be deeply hurt within. This had led Nicole to believe that something heartbreaking must have happened between Mr. Ellison and Harvey.

“Nicole, let's go,” Lulu called out upon noticing that Nicole was not getting into the car.

Nicole regained her composure and got into the car, whereupon they drove off and headed back to the headquarters of the Riddle Corporation.

"Why do you think Harvey spotted you and followed you there today? I don't think he was here just to watch you eat. Is it possible he was here because of DillCorp and NandoCorp?” Lulu asked.

After all, Harvey had only left them alone after they had asked Mr. Ellison to come over. Otherwise, Harvey would not have allowed them to eat in peace that easily: he must have looked for them with some sort of ulterior motive in mind.

"At the very least, he's here to get a scoop on what's going on," Nicole replied calmly as if she had read Harvey's mind.

"Is he worried that we'll side with DillCorp?” Lulu frowned.

With Harvey proactively aiding Everett, it was obvious that DillCorp had gained the upper hand. But now that Harvey had probably discovered that Nicole had been providing assistance to Dillion's family in secret, they were worried if things would become even more difficult for them in the future.

"I guess he must have noticed it previously, but he did not have any evidence to back it up,” Nicole analyzed.

If this was not the case, Harvey would not have summoned the courage to meet her face to face. And while he likely still did not possess any evidence needed to support his case, him showing up personally was probably a way to pressure Nicole to step back.

"Oh, so he has begun to suspect us.” Lulu widened her eyes as she came to a realization.

"Yeah, that's possible.” Nicole nodded. However, she was not too nervous about it. Even if Harvey were to get any evidence, there was nothing he could do.

Nicole did not break any laws, 30 him losing would be nothing but a testament of his incompetence.

Feeling a little worried, Lulu asked, "In that case, should we be more careful from now onwards?”

Nicole’s eyes darkened as she replied, “There's no need for that. We will be seeing the results soon."

When the time came, they would win, and everything would be rendered a fair game. With that said, nothing else was worth their time and effort at the moment.

"Oh* Lulu nodded, thinking that what Nicole said made sense.

In tact, Lulu began to wonder, ‘It'll be great it Harvey knows about it. One can imagine how funny his expression would be right now.‘

Nicole glanced at Lulu, and almost instantly, she understood what she was thinking. This got Nicole to burst out laughing.
