Ch. 2431..2435: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2431-2435

Chapter 2431

Harvey's expression was icy cold as he darted his eyes at Everett.

" What are you doing here?" "Mr. Ellison, I had no idea James was such a cunning one.

I underestimated him, not knowing that he has been playing dumb all along," Everett fumed, choked with rage and frustration.

Everett was convinced that he would have bagged DillCorp had it not been for James.

With his eyes trained on Everett, Harvey replied, "This has nothing to do with me.

Regardless of whether you win or lose, it doesn't affect me." Everett suddenly felt a pang of guilt, but then, he continued in a trembling voice, "Mr. Ellison, I don't understand what you're saying." "It doesn't matter anymore, But remember, don't come to me in the future any longer.

I want nothing to do with someone who has proven time and again to be a thorn in my side," Harvey finished and turned to his assistant.

"walk him out, and don't ever let him in ever again," he said.

Initially, Harvey had thought that Everett was just the right amount of ruthless and shady.

However, he had never expected Everett to turn his scheming ways against him.

Deep down, Everett knew Harvey had figured it all out, but he could not bring himself to admit it.

Then, he pushed on and said, "Mr. Ellison.

I think there's a misunderstanding between us.

We've been successful partners for years." Hearing that, Harvey remained silent without casting so much as a glance at Everett.

Harvey's assistant came over and escorted Everett out, who knew there was no hope left in this endeavor, and so, he left, feeling defeated and resigned.

"Mr. Ellison? He's gone," the assistant reported.

"Alright," Harvey said in an icy tone.

"Leave it.

Get someone to keep an eye on Nicole." “What are you suspecting?" the assistant asked.

Harvey's pupils narrowed as he explained, "Nicole's not someone who'll take a loss lying down." Harvey refused to believe Nicole would stand idly by, knowing full well what James' and Raine's ambitions for DillCorp were.

The perfect strategy for him now was to weaken his enemies before they could amass enough strength to go toe-to-toe with him.

"Understood," the assistant replied and left the room.

Looking away, Harvey's gaze grew colder.

He had always known of Everett's treacherous schemes.

However, he was not aware of how stupid Everett was under the cover of his grand ambitions.

With that said, he was of no use to Harvey anymore.

Meanwhile, Everett had already gotten into the car downstairs, whereupon he ordered the driver, "Drive." "Yes, sir," the chauffeur replied and started the car.

He brought the car forward cautiously, not daring to make any mistakes.

It was evident that Everett was in a bad mood, so he was aware that he should not do anything on the road that would set him off.

"Mr. Riddle, did the discussion not go as smoothly as planned?" Everett's assistant asked.

“Harvey knows everything.

He won't work with me anymore,” Everett said, pale in the face.

Without Harvey's support, Everett's future plans would just become more challenging.

It would be great if he had taken over DillCorp this time round.

However, he had lost the battle, and to top it all off, he had lost it to James.

“What comes next, then?" The assistant's face blanched.

All these years, each and every action of his had received the support of Harvey and the Ellison Group, but now that they were no longer working together, all of his plans would be doomed before they could even begin.

“What then? What do you think I paid you for?" Everett struck the ceiling of the car.

The assistant flinched and timidly suggested, "Perhaps we can think of another way.

We can try to take DillCorp over from Raine.

After all, she doesn't have what it takes to maintain it.

DillCorp won't prosper under her management." "That's easy to say.

James is not an easy person to deal with," Everett retorted.

If Everett had not carelessly ignored James, he would never have ended up in this situation.

"We didn't have our guard up against him before.

We'll be more cautious next time," the assistant assured in a trembling voice.

Chapter 2432

Hearing that, Everett's expression softened.

''Go sort out the arrangements." "Yes, Mr. Riddle." The assistant breathed a sigh of relief.

Everett leaned against his seat with a leer on his face.

'Just they wait.

When I get my hands on DillCorp, they won't have the guts to look at me funny anymore.' In a blink of an eye, three days went by, and on the morning of the third day, Nicole received a call from Lulu.

"Nicole, James has made a move," she reported.

A frosty glint flashed across Nicole's eyes as soon as she heard that.

"He couldn't wait, could he?" "I know, we should make our move too," Lulu said with a hint of excitement in her voice.

Nicole smiled.

"Sure." "T'll update you when there's news." "Okay." Nicole hung up and shook her head as she chuckled.

'Lulu must've been super anxious.' Then, the twins came in and curiously asked Nicole, "Mommy, what are you laughing at?" Nicole caressed their heads gently as she said, "It's nothing.

Let's head downstairs, shall we?" “How about daddy?' Lana asked as she scanned the room for Jared.

"Lana misses daddy." Jared suddenly walked into the room, prompting Lana to scream as she ran toward her father.

"Daddy!" Seeing this, Jared bent over and picked Lana up, after which the family of four went downstairs together, where they met Daniel and Gloria.

"Mom, Dad," Nicole greeted.

The twins then followed suit by saying, "Good morning grandpa.

Good morning grandma." Gloria smiled, and patted the twins in the head, one of each side.

" Let's go grab some breakfast, shall we?" Nicole watched as Gloria ushered the kids to the dining room for breakfast.

"Is there a way to solve whatever's happening at Uncle Dillion's?" Daniel asked.

The notion of DillCorp falling into the hands of Everett was one they were not able to conceive.

Days had passed and that too without a peep from Dillion, which made it all the more surreal.

"Dad, don't worry.

I will sort things out," Nicole assured.

Daniel sighed deeply, anxiously shaking his head.

"I have no idea what our family has become, you know, with all that infighting and disputes." Nicole bit her lip, hesitant to tell him the truth.

"Dad, they are not just fighting over DillCorp.

Their ultimate goal is to bag Riddle Corporation for themselves." Nicole had never told her family about matters related to work, and therefore, it would be understandable for Daniel to be out of the loop when it came to everything that had been transpiring.

She had refrained from informing him about the reality of the situation in the company to prevent her father from being even more alarmed than he already was.

Nicole pondered for a whole before speaking up.

"Also, James has helped Raine out in the planning process.

Making Raine lose everything is next on his agenda.” Hearing this made Daniel's jaw drop as he had not even been able to process the events that had occurred before this.

"How can this be?" "We've misjudged him right from the start.

Who knew that he would be the one behind all of these," Nicole added.

‘Raine would not even have gotten this far had it not been for James Harlow.

It's impressive how he could pull all of these stunts without anyone's knowledge while giving all of the credit to Dillion and Raine.' “What's going to happen now?" Daniel frowned, furrowing his eyebrows and sighing as he thought of his brother, Dillion.

 

Chapter 2433

A look of determination flashed across Nicole's face as she replied, 'Dad, things will be fine as long as you know what's going on.

You have us three.

We will do everything we can to ensure that DillCorp doesn't fall into the hands of James." If anything, Nicole had prepared herself for this moment for the longest time now.

'Dillcorp shall not fall into the hands of James or Everett.

Everything will go according to my plan.' Hearing that, Daniel issued a huge sigh.

"Alright, I trust you guys.

Daniel knew that he had no influence over anything that was happening.

To him, all that mattered was that none of his loved ones were harmed.

"T want you guys to be careful, okay," Daniel warned as he looked each and every one of his children in the eye.

“Relax, dad.

I will," Nicole assured with a comforting smile on her face.

"Right.

Let's eat.

Better not keep your mom waiting," Daniel said as Stanley came running down the flight of stairs.

He too had overheard the conversation.

Nicole nodded.

"Come on." All of them sauntered into the dining room, with Spencer and Samuel trailing in not long after.

Then, the Riddle family had their breakfast in peace, allowing Daniel and Gloria to be more at ease.

After their meal was over, Tia arrived to pick the twins up for kindergarten.

"Tia, we will announce the twin's identities at Spencer and Samuel's wedding.

You won't have to pick them up and drop them off after that," Nicole informed Tia with a smile.

Stunned for a moment, Tia went on to nod and respond, "Okay, I see." "Thank you for bringing them to and from their kindergarten all this time," Nicole thanked, feeling grateful for Tia's help, without which the twin's identities would have been exposed.

"It is my privilege to help you out, Miss Riddle," Tia responded.

After all, Tia had always done her best to cater to the needs of Nicole and her two children.

“Mommy, who will pick us up and drop us off in the future then?" Nolan asked, feeling a little reluctant to part ways with Tia.

"Your dad will hire a chauffeur and bodyguards for you two," Nicole replied.

‘T have to tell them the reality of the situation in advance, otherwise they'll have a hard time adapting to the changes,' Nicole thought.

"Okay." Nolan assumed a solemn look, seeming to have understood the situation.

‘I think mommy had gotten Aunt Tia to send us to school for our safety.

Now that our identities will be announced to the world, mommy will have to arrange bodyguards for us because she's still worried for our safety,' Nolan rationalized.

"Mommy, we will be good!" Lana promised once she saw that her brother had agreed.

Nicole felt a surge of warmth in her heart as she witnessed the degree of understanding her children had displayed.

She looked at them, gave them an affectionate smile, and planted a kiss on each of their cheeks.

The twins then busted out in giggles, after which they tugged on Tia's arms.

"Aunt Tia, let's go." Seeing this, Tia nodded.

"Come, let's go." Tia glanced at Nicole once more before she turned and left the place with the twins.

The rest of the family slowly left the Riddle residence one after another, with Jared giving Nicole a lift to the office.

"Have you taken care of the issue with James?" Nicole smiled.

"Yeah, don't worry about it.

I have ordered Lulu to get someone to keep an eye on him." Nicole had gathered a significant amount of evidence during the period of time when she was watching him, and seeing that Nicole was confident at what she was doing, Jared decided not to pry into the details further.

He believed that she knew what she was doing.

After Nicole had left for the Riddle Corporation building, Jared signaled his chauffeur, ready to leave when he noticed a car driving up the street.

"Is that Harvey Ellison?" Jared asked, his voice becoming icy cold.

Chapter 2434

"It's all because Everett has failed again.

On top of that, Everett had his own plans which is why Harvey ditched him," Max replied.

“Everett got ditched?" Jared narrowed his eyes, 'Is it possible that Harvey is planning something big?" "Yeah, it seems to me that Everett isn't going to quit either.

He seems to be up to no good, and has been pestering Raine for the past few days.

However, the good news is that he has failed to do so and the assets of DillCorp have been transferred away by Raine.

Asmile crossed Jared's face, and that was when he realized where Nicole's confidence had originated from.

Max was stunned when he noticed the smile on Jared's face.

He lost grip on the steering wheel, careening the car into the left lane.

Alarmed, Max quickly swerved back to the right.

‘Why is Mr. Johnston smiling like that? Did something ridiculous happen to Everett?’ thought Max to himself.

Meanwhile, Jared quickly regained his composure.

''Don't worry about Everett for now.

We can sit back and observe." "Yes, sir,'" Max replied.

Still, Jared was not at ease, as his eyes darkened immediately after.

"Continue your investigation on Harvey." "Yes, sir." Max put on his game face again.

He was more than aware that Harvey's recent behavior was getting increasingly concerning.

Then, Jared leaned back against his seat and began perusing the documents.

Meanwhile at Riddle Corporation, Nicole had just walked into the office when she saw Lulu, who had been waiting for her.

"Raine must be sobbing her eyes out right now.

James is one terrifying, heartless monster," Lulu muttered in a low voice, trying to mask the fact that she was gloating.

“Where's James now?" Nicole narrowed her eyes, more concerned about James' whereabouts rather than Raine's.

"I've gotten someone to tail him.

He's with his lover at the Spring Villa," Lulu informed with a smirk on her face.

‘Raine's busy crying her eyes out while James is having the time of his life with another lover,’ Lulu thought.

"Let's call the police." Nicole snickered and said with a hint of contempt in her voice.

"Okay.

I'll go ahead and do it," Lulu agreed, before spinning around and striding off.

Nicole sat down, and there, a look of determination crossed her face.

'Everything should be over once and for all.' Meanwhile, Raine, who was a sobbing mess, was accompanied by Dillion, who was busy cursing his heart out.

"You fucking idiot! You took everything and now, what have we got left? What's this?!" Dillion bellowed, livid and unable to wrap his head around the fact that James had played his entire family like a fiddle.

"Do you think I was the only one who trusted him? You did the same!" Raine wailed.

Aloud slap echoed throughout the room at once, and Raine's screamed followed thereafter.

Raine held her burning cheeks in her hands as she stared at Dillion, wide eyed with disbelief.

"If it wasn't for you, that son of ab*tch would not have wormed his way into our family.

How are you still so dense? How will we even live in the future?" Karen shouted as she witnessed Dillion slapping her daughter.

‘How can I even survive now?' Karen panicked.

Then, as she attempted to shrug off the bitter taste of betrayal, Raine yelled, "You wish to pin the blame on me now!? If it wasn't for you two who pushed me into marrying that scum, none of this would've happened!" Raine was the one who had been made to bear the brunt of it all, for everything she had carefully curated had turned out to be a part of a scam; an elaborate fraud.

Yet, even as she suffered, her parents had opted to turn their backs on her instead of doing what they were supposed to — comforting her.

"Is this all my fault?! Raine asked herself.

"Oh, so you're blaming us now, huh!? Did you even stop to think about us when you two were plotting your clever little scheme to take the company over?" Dillion spat.

‘If she hadn't done something so idiotic to begin with, would we even have ended up in such a miserable state?’ Dillon thought.

 

Chapter 2435

"I did it for our sake

Had I been capable, I would have been the inheritor of the Riddle family's fortunes and everything in the company would have belonged to us," Raine said.

It was obvious to everyone that Mr. Riddle Sr.

favored Daniel and his children over everyone else in the family.

At this point, Raine had no choice but to come to terms with the reality of it all.

Hearing his daughter's words, Dillion gritted his teeth and bellowed, "You planned to seize Riddle Corporation?! With that brain of yours?! Don't make me laugh.

Think about it, you gave DillCorp to James.

Had you taken Riddle Corporation, you would've given James the entire company!" Raine was rendered speechless, and her face turned pale green.

' How could I have known that James, a man so sweet and kind, would turn out to be such a scum?! Raine gritted her teeth as she stood up.

"I will go find him.

I'm going to reclaim what's mine." Then, Raine quickly ran out of the house after she had spoken.

Dillion became more furious with each second spent thinking about his predicament, and all of a sudden, he launched his foot at the coffee table, shattering it and scaring Karen out of her wits.

She had no choice but to endure the sight of her husband flying off the handle.

“What about Preston? Our family is in such a major predicament, and yet, he has the audacity to not come home and check on us.

Does he even still think of us as his parents?" Dillion roared.

"Call Preston." Dillion ordered the housekeeper.

"Yes, sir,'' the housekeeper said.

Not long after, she came scurrying back and reported, "Sir, Mr. Riddle said he'll come home immediately." "Okay." Dillion relaxed as he sat down.

"Clean everything up," Karen said through her gritted teeth to the housekeeper.

With that, the housekeeper quickly summoned a bunch of helpers to clean the mess in the living room.

Then, Dillion and Karen proceeded to wait for Preston's return; he was their only hope.

Raine was on her way to Spring Villa after she had stormed out of the house.

However, as soon as she arrived, she came across the sight of James being arrested and shoved into the police car.

Raine's face paled, and she lost all the strength she had to take even a single step forward.

This prompted her to instinctively coalesce into the crowd and wait for the police to leave.

After that, she got into the car again.

The moment she had plonked herself onto the backseat.

'Why did the police arrest James? Is it because of the things that he has done to our company? Will I be held accountable as an accomplice? "Please head to DillCorp," Raine ordered the driver.

‘Ihave to get to DillCorp.

I must get rid of any evidence that can be used against me,' Raine thought to herself, not wanting to be arrested and indicted as well.

The hot afternoon sun was glaring into Nicole's office as they were both sitting on the couch, enjoying the cool air blowing in from the air conditioner.

They were enjoying themselves, gossiping and munching on pieces of fruit every now and then.

"Oh man, you should've seen it.

When James was cuffed, the look on Raine's face was priceless!" Lulu smirked before she popped a grape into her mouth.

"It was quite a sight.

I don't know if I should feel sorry for them.

James probably deserved it, though,' Nicole thought to herself.

“Raine was also at the scene?" Nicole asked, confused as to why Raine was present on the scene.

"Yeah.

I found it strange too when our people who were present there told me about it.

She was hiding from the police when they showed up.

She quickly fled the scene after that and went to DillCorp," Lulu informed.

Nicole furrowed her eyebrows.

'What is Raine doing at DillCorp? Is she thinking of getting back at us? But then again, she doesn't really have what it takes to do so.' Noticing the solemn look on Nicole's face, Lulu asked, "Nicole, what are you thinking about?"
