Ch. 2466..2470: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2466-2470

Chapter 2466

"What happened, Mom?" Nolan asked, noting Nicole's hesitation.

“Someone was trying to break in," Nicole said with a touch of regret.

"They were really careful.

I almost managed to trace them, but they slipped away." Nolan sighed, looking disappointed.

"They're pretty sneaky." "If they didn't get what they wanted this time, they'll definitely try again," Jared added, walking over to the computer.

"They won't back down.

They're definitely after something you're getting." Nicole bit her lip, realizing she was not the only one after the five crests.

Since her announcement, others had been attempting to get their hands on them as well.

"You know, maybe it's time to set and arm a trap instead of just a firewall," she said.

Nodding at Jared's idea, she added.

"Rather than always being on the defensive, let's invite them in." With renewed focus, Nicole began typing away on the computer, safeguarding crucial information before laying her digital trap, and once she was done, she turned to Nolan.

"Just use it like you always would, okay?" "Got it.

I'll let you know if we catch anything," Nolan replied, grinning cheekily.

Nicole affectionately ruffled his hair.

“Alright, go rest up now." "Okay." Nolan said, and took a shower before heading to bed.

After Nolan had been tucked in, Nicole and Jared turned off the lights and left the room.

"Even though we couldn't trace the person, do you have any suspects?" Jared whispered.

Nicole shook her head.

"The only thing I can confirm is that they're somewhere in San Joto.

Finding a hidden hacker in such a vast city isn't an easy task." Hearing that, Jared comforted, "Take your time.

They'll slip up eventually.

If necessary, we can ask Preston and others like Ryder and Gary for help." Nicole raised an eyebrow at Jared, and then, she beamed.

"Good idea." A hint of amusement flashed in Jared's eyes as he led her back to their room.

Three days later, Nicole arrived at her office as usual.

Soon after, Lulu entered and whispered, "Nicole, I heard Dillion's selling off his assets.” "Selling his assets?" Nicole creased her forehead in puzzlement.

' With the company gone, what other valuable assets does Dillion have other than that mansion? Could it be...' Reading Nicole's expression, Lulu shrugged.

"You're right.

He's selling the mansion.” “Any idea what they're up to?" Nicole wondered.

'Maybe they're planning to leave San Joto?' "No clue.

They've just listed the house for sale, waiting for offers, " Lulu replied with a perplexed look on her face.

"It's odd." “They haven't shown any signs indicating that they'd be leaving San Joto or moving somewhere else?" Nicole pressed.

'Where would they go after selling the house? What's their plan?’ Lulu paused, trying to remember.

"I think they just rented a hotel room." "A hotel?" Nicole frowned.

'They're selling the house to stay ina hotel? What is Dillion and Karen planning?

Chapter 2467

‘So, Snow's in a vegetative state and James is in jail.

Raine has vanished, and no one knows where she is.

Meanwhile, Dillion and Karen seem to be doing alright.

But now, they're planning to sell their house and move to a hotel?' Nicole wondered.

Lulu's expression then shifted to one of seriousness.

"I've gotten some folks to watch them.

We are trying to figure out their plans.” "Alright," Nicole responded.

"We'll just have to watch and see what Dillion and Karen are planning." Then, she paused, picking up the phone to call Preston.

"Nicole, what's up?" Preston's voice blared out once he answered.

"Did you know your parents are selling the family house?" Nicole asked directly.

Preston paused, clearly taken aback, before replying, ''No.

What happened?" "No major reason." Nicole said, filling him in on what Lulu had discovered.

"IT see," Preston sighed.

"Guess we should let them decide." Nicole hesitated.

You know, if you want to keep the family mansion, I can buy it back for you.

It's part of the reason why I called.

I'd like to help." In return, Preston thanked her.

"I appreciate the offer, but I think T'll pass.

If I need a house in the future, I can buy another." In truth, he was done; he did not wish to bother with the family drama any longer.

“Alright then," Nicole replied, noting Preston's feelings.

"Thanks for having my back," Preston said with gratitude, aware of Nicole's genuine concern.

Nicole smiled.

''No problem.

The initial setup for your tech company is almost ready.

Lulu will send the details over.

If everything's okay, just follow Lulu's plan." "Sounds good.

I trust your judgment," Preston replied with a tinge of excitement.

"It's your company, so you'll get the final say.

I asked Lulu to help since you've been busy helping me," Nicole teased.

Preston chuckled.

"Thanks for all the help.

I'll treat you guys to dinner soon." "A feast," Nicole joked.

“No problem," Preston agreed.

After ending the call, Nicole softly laughed and told Lulu, "Once everything is ready, send it over to him." “It's almost done.

I'll double-check everything and send it over to him once it's done," Lulu replied.

"Wait." Nicole hesitated before adding, "Also, find him a couple of skilled and reliable assistants.

With the new company up and running, he'll need some competent, helping hands." "Got it," Lulu agreed with a smile.

"You've really got everything thought out for him.” "He's been there for me, now and in the past." Nicole said." Remember? I can't turn my back on someone who's been nothing but kind to me.

Sure, Dillion's family has been a piece of work, but Preston? He's never wronged me." "I haven't forgotten.

I'm on it," Lulu replied with a grin.

Then, she turned around and walked off.

After Lulu had left, Nicole leaned back against her chair.

Her eyes grew distant as she thought, 'Dillon and Karen are selling the house, and Raine's gone missing.

Is there some sort of connection between the two?’ Preston, having just hung up, was then asked by Gary, "What did Nicole want?"

Chapter 2468

"Just some family related stuff," Preston said.

Gary shot him a look of doubt, though he decided against prying.

" How's things going on your end? I've got some updates here." "I'm almost there." Preston's focus intensified, and he began working even quicker.

Then, in a tone of triumph, he declared, "Got it!" “Nice job!" Gary exclaimed, grinning.

"Keep it up.

If we manage to crack the next one, we'll be able to discover who this person is." "Alright, let's do this.” The two then continued, driven by their determination.

Near the end of the workday, Nicole received an email from Preston.

The email in question contained an address and aname, though there were no photos or any solid identifications.

Seeing this, Nicole instantly realized this was the identity that Preston, Ryder, and Gary had been working on discovering.

Impressed by their quick progress, she replied with a 'thanks' and forwarded the information to Max for further investigation.

She preferred to keep Lulu out of such covert matters, reserving the more routine and mundane tasks for her whilst leaving the secretive operations to Max.

After she had sent the message, Nicole began accessing a hacking interface on her computer, whereupon she quickly found the person's ID.

The individual seemed oblivious of the fact that he was being tracked too.

Swiftly, Nicole crafted a tracking program and discreetly implanted it, aiming to uncover more about them.

All of a sudden, a soft knock echoed through the room, and Lulu peeked in through the slightly ajar office door.

"Time to head out? Shutting down her computer, Nicole stood up and replied, "Let's go." As they made their way to the elevator, a voice halted them in their tracks.

"Nicole," Steve called out.

Turning to face him, Nicole asked, "Is there something you need, Steve?" “Are you heading out?" Steve asked, glancing at the waiting elevator.

"Mind if we chat while we walk?" Once they were inside the elevator, Nicole looked at him and asked, "What happened?" A shadow of concern and anger flashed in Steve's eyes at once.

" It's about Everett." Nicole's eyes narrowed.

"What's Everett up to now?" she asked with a hint of frostiness in her tone.

She had hoped that Everett would keep a low profile ever since Harvey ditched him.

"Well," Steve began, gritting his teeth.

"After Harvey booted him out and James got arrested, Everett took another blow.

And now that he's heard you're in charge of DillCorp, he's lost it.

He's planning to go after the company." "Ts he still at it?" Lulu blurted out, her eyes wide in disbelief.

' After all the losses he has sustained, he still thinks he can seize DillCorp!?' Steve shook his head and shot Nicole another glance.

"The guy's seriously unhinged now.

Your team...Are they ready for whatever he throws at you?" Drawing a deep breath, Nicole replied, "I'll head over and see how they're doing soon." She had confidence in her team's ability to manage DillCorp, but for them to deal with Everett's tricks was a different story altogether.

 

Chapter 2469

Chapter 2469 "I'll come with you," Lulu said, eager to accompany Nicole, who raised her brows right away.

Noting Nicole's hesitation, Lulu quickly added, "I can help, you know." Hearing this, Nicole replied, "Alright.

We'll head there tomorrow." "Great." Lulu smiled in relief.

The elevator reached the first floor, and the three of them stepped out.

"If anything happens, let Sean and I know," Steve said.

"Don't worry," Nicole replied with a confident edge to her voice.

‘Even though Everett has lost his mind, I doubt he'll dare to mess with me,' she thought.

Outside the company building, Lulu noticed that Spencer had not shown up yet, and that was when she stated, "You should go ahead.

Don't keep Mr.

Johnston waiting." “Alright, I'll see you later." After saying goodbye to Lulu, Nicole walked over to Jared's car, and once she was seated, she leaned back and issued a quiet sigh.

Jared glanced her way and asked, "Tired?" "Not really.

Steve said Everett is targeting DillCorp.

They just eluded bankruptcy and are starting to stabilize, but they're not back on track yet," Nicole replied, her face creased with worry.

“Thinking of checking it out?" Jared asked, catching on to her concerns.

Nicole nodded.

"Lulu and I are heading there tomorrow." "I'll send some backup," Jared offered, recognizing her resolve.

Nicole considered refusing, but after she met Jared's gaze, her words escaped her.

She hesitated for a moment, biting her lip, and then she nodded.

" Alright." Having recognized his concerns, she decided to accept his aid.

With that, Jared's eyes lit up, and he gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.

Smiling, Nicole told him, “Rest assured, I won't let Everett just waltz in and take DillCorp.

He'll be sorely disappointed if he tries." After picking Nolan and Lana up, Nicole and Jared headed back to the Riddle residence.

As Stanley was coming in, Gloria announced, "Time for dinner.

Samuel and Spencer won't be joining tonight.

They're out again.” "Another date?" Stanley remarked as he made his way to the dining room.

Gloria playfully retorted, "Yep, and when's the last time you went on one?" Exasperated by the comment, Stanley shot back, "Mom, haven't you had enough planning for their wedding already? Can we take a breather before diving into my love life? Besides, what about Nicole?" Knowing what his brother was trying to do, Nicole teased, "Trying to shift the spotlight to me? We're talking about you!" She had been dreading this conversation, and of course, Stanley just had to mention it and throw her under the bus.

After hearing Stanley's remark, Gloria turned to Nicole.

"You two need to think about settling down as well." “Alright, Mom," Nicole replied, using her past experiences to navigate the conversation.

But as for the timeline and specifics, those were her decisions to make.

Gloria sighed.

"You might brush off what I have to say, but think about Nolan and Lana.

People will soon know about them.

Isn't it time to make things official?" “We've already made it official, Mom.

Even if we didn't hold a grand ceremony, we're still legally married.

Nolan and Lana are very much a part of our recognized family," Nicole retorted, her frustration evident.

‘why does she make it sound like I've let Nolan and Lana down?" she wondered.

Chapter 2470

Chapter 2470 "So, since the ceremony is the only thing that is missing, why not have it soon?" Gloria suggested.

Feeling really annoyed now, Nicole replied, "Mom, I'm already martied.

And hey, at least I'm not in Stanley's shoes.

He doesn't even have a girlfriend.

Maybe you should focus on him?" With that said, Nicole took Jared's hand and made a beeline for the dining room, wanting to distance herself from the subjects.

Feeling that the spotlight was back on him, Stanley sighed.

" Alright, I'll post an ad on a dating app tomorrow." All of a sudden, there was a thud, and someone gasped.

Everyone's eyes then centered on Tia, who was walking in with a plate of snacks.

“Hey Tia, what's up?" Nicole greeted, giving her a once-over.

Tia quickly set the plate of mini muffins down.

"Mrs. Wallace was feeling good today.

She made these since she knows how much you love thern and asked me to bring them to you." Nicole's eyes lit up at the sight of the muffins.

“Thanks, Tia.

How's Grandma been lately?" "She's doing well.

I should get back to looking after her," Tia said, her voice hurried.

As she rushed out with her head bowed, it became clear to everyone watching that something was bothering her.

Nicole saw Tia's limp as she made her way out and could not help but glance at Stanley, who was observing Tia with a grimace on his face.

She sensed there was more to the story than she knew.

“Alright, let's dig in," Gloria announced once Tia had left.

"Sounds good," the group chimed in, and everyone settled into their seats at the dining table.

Nicole stared at the mini muffins, a rush of nostalgia washing over her.

She remembered Tia's words about how they were her childhood favorite, and that had prompted Mrs. Wallace Sr.

to whip up a batch for her.

After biting into one, a genuine smile crossed her face.

"This takes me right back to my childhood," she murmured.

Memories of lazy summer afternoons with her grandmother, picking berries and laughing under the sun danced in her mind.

Those simple days, full of love and joy, were some of the bests she had ever had.

Snapping out of her reverie, Nicole found all eyes on her, wide with surprise.

She paused, becoming a little flustered, and said, "I thinka childhood memory just came back to me, but the rest...

it's still foggy." "It's a good start, Nicole.

Don't worry.

All your memories will return someday," Gloria said, her eyes getting wet.

‘At least Nicole's beginning to remember,' she thought.

"Yes, just take your time," Daniel added.

"You should visit Mrs. Wallace more often.

It might help jog your memories," Stanley suggested.

"I will," Nicole said, feeling comforted by their words.

“Mommy, can we try some?" Nolan and Lana came over from the living room, their eyes set on the mini muffins.

Nicole smiled gently.

"Of course. Here, have some."
