Ch. 2486..2490: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2486-2490

Chapter 2486

“Oh, it’s nothing. We just heard about the kids and figured we should visit them. Besides that, the wedding for you and Spencer is getting closer, so we’re here to help your parents with the guest list,” Dexter explained while smiling.

“Thank you, Dexter and Emma,” Samuel said. “I really appreciate your help.”

“Don’t say it like that. It’s a joyous occasion, and we are more than willing to help,” Emma laughed.

“Speaking of which, after all the preparations, we’re almost ready for the wedding. We’re just waiting for the big day,” Gloria said contentedly.

It was a relief for the parents to see their two kids getting married.

“Next one up is Nicole, right?” Emma chuckled and looked towards Nicole. “When are you and Jared going to hold the wedding? Be sure to call me for help.”

“Thank you, Emma,” Nicole thanked politely and added,” However, we don’t have plans for now.”

“We’re naturally not in a position to comment on your matters. I’m just saying when you do, please hit me up,” Emma clarified. She knew Jared and Nicole had their own plans and respected their decision.

“We will,” Nicole promised. She could not help but feel a tinge of emotions, wondering if it was time she should get married. Otherwise, there would be more people who were urging her for marriage.

Subconsciously, Nicole focused on Jared while Jared just so happened to be looking at her too. Their eyes met, and her cheeks blushed.

The family continued chatting about other topics, and laughter filled the dining room all dinnertime.

After the guests left, other family members went back to their rooms.

Nicole and Jared returned to their room.

Nicole sighed. “Time flies, Samuel and Spencer’s wedding is really approaching.”

Nicole remembered when she first came back, both couples were still shy and not daring to take a leap in their relationship. Luckily, both of them ended up together, and she had the chance to witness their happy moments. She was really happy for them.

Jared’s gaze was soft while he smoothed Nicole’s hair. “Get some rest.”

“Yeah,” Nicole chuckled and agreed.

Jared smiled and looked at Nicole tenderly.

Time passes fast, and three days pass in the blink of an eye. For a few days in a row, the companies collaborating with DillCorp had encountered problems one after another.

Nicole arrived at DillCorp early in the morning and felt the heavy tension in the office atmosphere.

“Nicole, isn’t this too fishy?” Lulu frowned. It could be a coincidence if only one or two companies encountered an issue, but it was several in a row. Lulu suspected that someone might be manipulating things behind the scenes.

“Yes, something is off,” Nicole replied, her pupils narrowing slightly. There was a hint of coldness in her tone.

Nicole found it coincidental when Horizon Corporation faced trouble earlier. The incidents happening now had just confirmed her suspicion.

“I’ll have someone to check on it,” Lulu said and left.

“Hold up.” Nicole stopped her friend.

“What’s wrong?” Lulu stopped and looked at Nicole in confusion.

After some thought, Nicole replied, “You should just inform the companies about the situation.”

“Could they find out on their own?” Lulu said while frowning.

“It’s up to them to solve the problem. We have our own problems to deal with,” Nicole replied, her eyes cold. ‘It seems that the mastermind wasn’t targeting those companies but rather DillCorp itself.”

Chapter 2487

The only person Nicole could think of was Damien and Everett, no one else would have such a grudge against DillCorp aside from them.

“What should we do?” asked Lulu, in a serious expression.

Nicole’s mouth twitched. “Let’s seek Johnston Group’s cooperation.”

“Oh… John-Johnston Group?!” Lulu took a minute to get the big picture and when she did, her eyes widened in shock.

Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Why? Can’t we work with them? IV

Lulu shook her head. “No, I thought you were going to fight fire with fire.”

‘It didn’t cross my mind that Nicole would collaborate with Johnston Group, on top of everything else,’ Lulu thought to herself.

“I mean, not just collaborating with Johnston Group itself but there are a few subsidiaries that their company has.

We’ll collaborate with them all,” Nicole declared.

She turned to look Lulu in the eye. “I’ll arrange this with the headquarters myself.”

‘If Everett is thinking of ruining DillCorp’s collaborative work, then he ought to try harder. Nothing will go wrong, at least not on my watch,’ thought Nicole.

Immediately, Lulu understood Nicole’s intentions. “Do you think Everett would keep coming at us?”

‘Even if we get through this hurdle, I can’t possibly put my finger on how we could the next time the possibility of DillCorp ever partnering with such corporations is almost impossible,’thought Nicole to

herself.

Nicole nodded slowly. “Yeah, then we shall see, if there’ll be a next time…”

Lulu blinked blankly. “What does she mean by that?’

Nicole did not care to explain. Instead, she quickly dialed Steve’s number. “I need some help from headquarters.”

“Shoot.”

Nicole told the names of the firms and Steve jolted them down. “These firms must have some sort of collaborative projects or relationship with DillCorp, and it needs our support in order to accomplish it.”

DillCorp had always been weak compared to the main office, Riddle Corporation. Even if there was a project, DillCorp would not be able to shoulder the weight of the project without the help from the main office.

Steve coolly agreed. “Okay, don’t worry about it.”

“Okay. That’s all,” said Nicole as she hung up the phone.

Nicole turned to look at Lulu after she stashed her phone away. The troubled look on Lulu’s face caught Nicole’s attention.

“Don’t be nervous. Things will go as planned, just you see within a week,” Nicole reassured.

Lulu nodded, not knowing whether to trust Nicole or not as she could not comprehend Nicole’s thoughts at the moment.

Lulu bit her lip. “Alright, I’ll go find someone and get them to start liaising with the firms.”

‘What went through Everett’s mind to assume that cutting off all the collaborative projects with DillCorp would corner the company?’

Lulu walked out of the office and started making arrangements for the different firms.

Not long after, Lulu finished her task. She suddenly felt sorry for Nicole. ‘She must’ve worked her ass off to save DillCorp with her bare hands and only for Everett to do something like this again.’

A sudden knock on the door snapped Lulu back to her senses. “Who is it?”

The door opened and a secretary walked in. “The front desk told me that someone’s looking for you.”

Chapter 2488

“Looking for me?’

Lulu looked at the secretary and frowned. “Who would want to find me?’

“Did they say who they were?” asked Lulu.

“No, do you want to head downstairs?” asked the secretary as she shook her head.

Lulu hesitated for a while before standing up. “I’ll go down and have a look.”

Lulu’s heart was filled with worry as she inched closer to the lobby. Her eyes fell on a strange looking woman. She walked up to her and asked, “Are you looking for me?”

“Are you Lulu Barrera?” the unknown woman asked, scanning Lulu up and down.

“I am, but may I ask why you’re looking for me?” asked Lulu, her voice filled with uncertainty. Lulu had never seen this woman before in her life, unclear of what her objective could be.

Suddenly, the woman grabbed her by the collar and screamed, “You evil bitch! My brother almost died because of you and you’re here enjoying your life like nothing happened!”

“Hey! Excuse me, ma’am. What are you talking about?” Lulu whimpered, frightened by the sudden attack, her face was

pale white.

“Oh, quit pretending and come home with me! You ought to tell my brother the truth!” The woman suddenly grabbed Lulu by her collar and dragged a struggling Lulu outside the building.

Lulu panicked as she struggled to break free from the woman’s death grip.

“Security! Help me! I don’t know this person… Let go of me!”

In just a few moments, several people nearby the office lobby quickly jumped in and saved Lulu from the woman’s deadly grip. The unknown woman suddenly sat on the ground and wailed, after noticing that she was outnumbered.

“There’s no justice in this world. This woman is a fraud! My brother loved her with all his heart, and she swindled all his money away! Now that my brother’s ill, she’s going to marry someone else. This woman is vile and vicious!” cursed the woman angrily.

Lulu was in shock, her face turned pale as she watched the woman rant, “Don’t sputter nonsense. I don’t even know you.”

“Of course, you don’t know me. When you scammed my brother, I wasn’t around, but this time I won’t let you get away with it,” huffed the woman as she glared at Lulu.

“Look, ma’am. I suggest you stop making a scene here or we’ll call the police,” the security guard said, stepping forward to interrupt.

The woman immediately stood up and ran upon hearing the threat of the security guard.

“Lord! I guess no one cares about the fairness of the world anymore! This woman here has scammed my brother of all his wealth and now my brother can’t even live through the next day. I came here to seek justice and she has people lined up to bully the minority. Lulu Barrera, you evil bitch!” screamed the woman.

Out of nowhere, reporters came rushing in through the main doors of the lobby. Camera flashes and shutters filled the room.

“You have my full support! Tell us and we’ll publish it in tomorrow’s papers! We’ll give you your justice!” screamed a reporter.

The woman heard this and immediately looked like she hit the jackpot. “Really? Can you really give me justice?”

“Just tell me everything,” said the reporter, as they readied themselves to take the notes.

“Don’t listen to her nonsense! I don’t know her at all,” Lulu protested in a shaky voice.

‘How can I let her talk nonsense to the media?’ Lulu thought.

The security guards immediately started to give out commands to his team to drive the crowd away from the lobby.

“Are you driving them away because you’re worried about getting caught?” asked a reporter, trying to instigate a debate.

“I should be the one saying that. You guys are here to incriminate someone’s innocence. Stop trying to create a mess here. Our office needs to work and operate,” said the security guard as he insisted to usher the crowd out of the building.

A reporter angrily shouted, “You guys are unreasonable!

Can’t you see things in black and white? Clearly that woman here is suffering!”

The security guard shot back, “What nonsense are you talking about!”

A high-pitched voice person suddenly spoke up, capturing everyone’s attention. “What’s the commotion about? There are so many people here.”

Chapter 2489

Nicole slowly walked over to the lobby. In her office earlier, she saw a mob of people rushing into the building from her window. She wanted to ask Lulu to check what was going on, not knowing that something had happened to Lulu.

“I don’t know her! She suddenly came here and started slandering me and even dragged me around for a few feet!” exclaimed Lulu as she burst into tears.

Nicole held Lulu’s hand tightly, but it did not stop Lulu’s hand from trembling. Lulu was traumatized. Nicole gave Lulu comforting pats on the back. “You go home and rest.”

“But…” Lulu stuttered, looking at Nicole like a lost puppy.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of things here,” said Nicole as she turned around to signal the front desk. The front desk understood immediately and ushered Lulu away.

Nicole’s expression darkened almost immediately after Lulu left. She turned to look at the report, completely overlooking the woman’s existence.

“Which media publication do you belong to? I see that all the media in the city are here.”

‘Do they take me as a fool? How could a situation just happen, and media from all over the city would appear the next moment?’ Nicole snorted mentally.

The question threw the reporter off. He avoided eye contact

as he knew that he had taken the bait that there would be big news happening at the lobby of Riddle Corporation.

“We initially came to interview the Chairperson of Riddle Corporation due to the troubles of Dill Corp recently,” said a reporter.

The others nodded along in unison and mumbled, “Yeah, good excuse.”

Nicole raised her eyebrow, shooting a dead stare at the reporter. She sneered, “Your information seems to be quite up to date, don’t you think? I can accept your interview request, but have you considered it carefully to interview me, because nothing will be to your advantage.”

The reporters hesitated for a while.

A cold look flashed across Nicole’s eyes. ‘I knew it. These people were staged just to come and slander Lulu! But who would do such a thing?’

“Shut up! Stop speaking. Weren’t you guys telling me you’d interview me?!’ yelled the woman, on top of her lungs as she tried to divert the attention to prevent their plans from failing.

“Lulu Barrera, this woman is a vile and wicked person.

Completely despicable. She cheated my brother of all his wealth when she saw that he was ill and weak. She then came here and continued to leech off this family, she’s a gold digger!”

Nicole narrowed her eyes as she listened to the woman’s slandering speech.

“Could you take responsibility for what you just said? Did you know that slandering someone else is a crime?” said Nicole unsympathetically.

The woman stuttered, flinching under Nicole’s icy cold gaze. “I— Of course I can! What I said is all true.”

“Okay!!! Security, call the police,” Nicole exclaimed loudly and vigorously.

“Yes, ma’am.” The security guard immediately called the police.

The woman tried to keep her cool and wave it off by continuing to shout. “You should all be ashamed of yourselves for defending people like Lulu! If your company spends so much money on protecting someone like her, then the company must be rubbish!”

Nicole snorted. “We’ll know who’s right and who’s wrong soon enough. The police will give us the right answer.”

As Nicole finished her sentence, she turned to look at the sea of media. “Since you’re all invited here, why not stay behind to be our witness for this magnificent news. You’ll get to know the final verdict.”

The police quickly entered the scene as Nicole finished her sentence.

“This person here slandered an employee of mine and degraded their name. On top of that, all these people were invited to witness the humiliation. I think the best way to obtain justice is to let the police handle it.”

“We’ll investigate this thoroughly.”

Chapter 2490

The reporters protested, "We're reporters, we have the freedom to do whatever and record what we want to!”

The police looked at them. "Which publication do you belong to?”

Before anyone could answer, Nicole beat them to it. "They claim to be reporters, but they're fake. I think it's best that the respective media publications come and identify their own employees. Those who have been identified can be let go, while those who didn't must be fakes. They probably teamed up with the woman here.”

The police quickly commanded once more, “Take them all away!"

The complexion of the reporters immediately turned pale.

They all sneaked out during work hours to pick up the news. 'How will we report this to our higher ups?’

Nicole watched as the police rounded up everyone and took them away. She couldn't help but smirk as she confidently strolled back into the office, heading straight for Lulu.

“It's all my fault, I've caused the company such a huge problem,” added Lulu.

"It's not your fault. Those people have been taken away and taken care of by the police. Don't worry. This matter will be investigated," said Nicole, hoping to comfort her friend.

Lulu sniffled. "I really don't know what was happening. I don't even know who she was, and she suddenly started accusing me of things I haven't done and using those awful words.”

Lulu had never met the woman before in her life, and certainly, she had not done anything the woman had claimed she had done.

Nicole gently patted on Lulu's shoulder to comfort her. "It's okay. I've already texted Spencer about this. He'll be here soon to send you home. You go back and rest, okay? I'll contact you after the investigation is complete.”

“Thank you, Nicole. I don't know what I'd do without you," said Lulu, her eyes starting to tear up again.

Nicole shot Lulu a warm smile. "Don't say that. You're okay, we're okay.”

Suddenly, the door burst open with a bang. Spencer barged into the room, frantic. "Lulu, are you okay?!"

He quickly walked up to Lulu and began scanning her for any injuries.

Seeing Spencer, Lulu immediately burst into tears, sputtering, "I'm fine now. I was really scared earlier.”

Lulu still got chills down her spine as she recalled the incident earlier. ‘If I weren't in the company, I could've been kidnapped by that woman. I can't bear to think of the consequences of that.’

Spencer pulled Lulu into a tight hug, patting her back comfortingly. “Don't worry. Everything's okay now.”

"You can send her back home and let her rest. Stay with her for the time being. She's really shaken up from the incident,” Nicole told Spencer.

“Okay, then I'll send her home,” Spencer replied. He lifted Lulu up into his arms and walked out of the office.

Nicole sighed deeply before walking back to her office. There, she leaned into her seat as she subconsciously recalled the incident.

‘How could an unknown person come all the way to our office just to find Lulu? On top of that, she brought in that many reporters... Who is she and why did she treat Lulu like this?’

Meanwhile, Spencer arrived at Lulu's apartment.
