Ch. 2491..2495: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2491-2495

Chapter 2491

Lulu’s complexion was pale, still very shaken up from the incident.

Bringing her into a hug, Spencer coaxed her, “Don’t be scared. They were all caught and will pay the price for what they did.”

“What on earth is going on? I don’t know her. Why did she have to frame me?” Lulu bit her lip. She tried to think of an answer, but got nothing.

“Everything will make sense in the end. Don’t worry,” Spencer reassured as his eyes darkened.

‘If that person wasn’t crazy, then their act must’ve been staged,’ he thought to himself.

Suddenly, Spencer’s phone rang. He glanced at the screen and saw it was Icyln calling.

Frowning, he answered the call.

“Babe! Where are you?” Icyln’s voice rang from the phone speaker.

“Is something the matter?” asked Spencer, cutting straight to the point.

“Oh, I just wanted to ask if you have time to come out with me to pick a gift for our professor. It’s his birthday today, by the way, and I want to give him a gift,” explained Icyln.

Spencer glanced at Lulu and replied, “I’m busy. I have things to take care of. You can go yourself.”

“Babe, what are you busy with? Do you need my help?” asked Icyln, with concern in her voice.

“No need. I’ve got to go.” Spencer hung up the phone.

He turned to look at Lulu and said, “Let’s go rest for a while.”

Lulu shook her head. “I don’t think I can sleep.”

“Don’t be scared. I’ll be here with you, the whole time.”

“I really can’t sleep,” Lulu insisted.

Lulu felt that each time she closed her eyes, her fear and anxiety would consume her entirely.

“Is your professor’s birthday coming up soon?” she asked, trying to divert the conversation.

Spencer nodded. “Yeah.”

“Don’t you need to prepare a gift for him too?” Lulu knew that Spencer had been his professor’s favorite student and kept in close contact after graduating.

Spencer looked down at Lulu and smiled. “I’ve already prepared his gift.”

“Huh? You’ve already prepared it?” asked Lulu, dumbfounded.

Spencer tapped Lulu’s nose gently, smiling. “An invitation to our wedding. He said he had always anticipated attending

our wedding.”

Lulu blinked blankly before her face started flushing red.” What kind of birthday gift is this?”

“He said it’s the best birthday gift he has ever received.” Spencer shrugged, withholding the truth from Lulu as it was not what his professor had said.

Lulu rolled her eyes at him. “Let’s get him another gift.”

“Okay, after you are well rested. We can go another time,” said Spencer with a smile.

“Yeah,” agreed Lulu, nodding.

Spencer ran his fingers through Lulu’s hair. In a soft voice, he said, “Get some sleep. I’ll be here when you wake up, okay? Don’t be scared.”

“Can you accompany me to talk?” asked Lulu. She did not want to sleep, so she chatted up a storm with Spencer. Ever since Lulu had been with Spencer, her mood had improved.

Meanwhile, as the day grew darker, the atmosphere at the Riddle residence was dark and gloomy.

Chapter 2492

Gloria saw Nicole walk into the house. With hopeful eyes, she asked, “How’s Lulu doing?”

“How did you guys find out?” Nicole glanced at Gloria’s worried expression and sighed deeply. ‘The news must’ve spread like wildfire.’

“Is she okay? How could such a thing happen to that poor child…” There was a hint of distress in Gloria’s voice.

“Don’t worry, she’ll be fine,” Nicole reassured.

“That’s a relief to hear.” Gloria let out a breath in relief.

Nicole briefly chatted to Gloria about the incident that happened earlier in the day and how the police were looking into the matter.

“I hope they can solve this as soon as possible, what with the weddings approaching. I don’t want this to affect Lulu’s big day.” Gloria sighed again.

‘A wedding happens once in a lifetime. It’s only right to have a happy bride,’ she thought to herself.

Nicole nodded. “Yeah, don’t worry about it too much.”

After dinner was over, Jared and Nicole brought the twins upstairs to Nolan’s room. Nolan dragged Nicole to his desktop.

“Mommy, what’s going on with Uncle Preston?” he asked, batting his big eyes.

“I’m not sure. Why do you ask?” asked Nicole cautiously.

Nolan climbed into his seat and turned the desktop on. He turned around to look at his mother. “It’s been really quiet recently. There hasn’t been any progress. I think this might be related to Uncle

Preston…”

Nicole lowered her eyes to glance at the screen before pausing for a moment. “That’s probably why. Let’s wait for a while longer. If there’s really any update, then Uncle Preston would tell Mommy.”

“Okay.” Nolan nodded and he started clicking away on his computer.

“Godpa is very quiet too. He hasn’t talked to me in ages.”

“You haven’t heard from Lawrence recently?” Nicole’s eyes narrowed. ‘That’s impossible. Lawrence always used to

leave messages for Nolan.’

“Yeah, maybe Godpa is busy,” Nolan shrugged. He knew he shouldn’t disturb his godfather if he hadn’t received a response to his message.

Nicole ruffled Nolan’s hair. “He said he’ll come visit you two when he’s free.”

“Godpa misses us?” Nolan perked up.

Nicole nodded. “Yes, he wants to see you both.”

Nicole saw how bright Nolan’s face was when she mentioned Lawrence’s name. ‘He must miss him a lot.’

Nicole thought of arranging the twins to meet up with Lawrence over the period of the next few days. She did not notice Nolan excitedly sending messages to Lawrence about the good news.

“Mommy, is Godpa very busy? Nolan told me that Godpa hasn’t sent him a text in a very long time,” Lana said curiously, as she walked over and tugged on Nicole’s shirt.

“Yeah, apparently he’s been a little busy recently,” replied Nicole, ruffling Lana’s hair too.

Lana frowned. “If he’s so busy, he won’t have the time to come visit us!”

Nicole was stunned by Lana’s response. ‘Is she casually questioning this, or does she not want to visit Lawrence?’

Nicole bent down to meet her daughter’s eyes. “So do you want him to visit, or do you not want him to visit?”

“No, I just feel like he’s too busy and we’d be bothering him.” Lana smiled sheepishly.

Nicole was left speechless. ‘This girl is simply astonishing! She clearly doesn’t want to visit Lawrence, and she can convey her message so impressively.’

“I want him to visit, whether he’s busy or not. We have to arrange a time,” said Nolan. He scrunched up his face at Lana in dissatisfaction.

‘How can she refuse? We spent so much time away from our Godpa,’ Nolan thought.

Lana stuck her tongue out at Nolan. She did not want to visit Lawrence, regardless that he was kind to them before. She felt that the kindness Lawrence had given them before had changed ever since they returned home.

Chapter 2493

Not to mention the last incident, where he sneakily looked at Nolan’s computer. Even if he was their Godpa, he had no right to do so.

Looking at how angry Lana was, Nicole lightly patted her daughter’s head. “If you don’t feel like going, you can stay with Grandma at home. I’ll bring Nolan along with me, is that okay?”

Nolan wanted to meet Lawrence, but Lana was reluctant. Therefore, Nicole did not want to force her.

Then, unexpectedly, Lana looked up and said, “I want to go.”

Since Nolan was going, Lana wanted to go as well.

“Otherwise, Nolan might get tricked again, with his empty brain,” she muttered softly.

“What did you say?” Nolan could not clearly hear as he was a bit far away, but his gut told him that there was something off with what his sister said.

“Nothing.” Lana shrugged her shoulders, looking innocent.

Nolan frowned and stared at Lana as if he did not believe her words. But he could not say a thing.

Naturally, Nicole had heard everything as she was near Lana. She patted Lana’s head again.

Lana did not want to continue the argument, so she walked over to Jared. “Daddy, let’s build the wooden blocks.”

Jared glanced at Nicole for a moment and replied, “Alright, let’s go.”

After he sat down with Lana, Jared began to accompany her for playtime.

Suddenly, Lana asked in a low voice, “Daddy, are you going too?”

Jared frowned. Based on what Nicole had said, it seemed like she did not want him to be there. However, he still had the thought of going. After all, he felt uneasy about Lawrence.

Seeing Jared hesitating, Lana raised her eyebrows and looked at Jared happily. Then, she turned to Nicole and said, “Mommy, let Daddy join us too.”

“You’re going?” Nicole looked at Jared in shock. Multiple questions ran through her mind ‘Does he really want to go? Would the two of them argue when they see each other?’

“Sure,” Jared replied.

Nicole smirked. ‘Did I sound like I was inviting him to join? He actually replied like he was being invited.’

“Daddy, we’ll go together! We’re a family after all, so sticking together is the best!” Lana exclaimed while pulling Jared’s hands. She was elated.

Nicole could not help but shake her head. ‘This naughty girl…’

She stayed a little longer for play time with her children.

After a while, Nicole got them ready for bed.

Once the kids were knocked out, Nicole and Jared returned to their bedroom.

Nicole heaved a sigh of relief, massaged her shoulders and rolled her neck.

“Tired?” Jared’s hands rested on Nicole’s shoulders and gently massaged her.

“Still manageable. I guess there was too much going on today.” Nicole frowned a little and said, “Lulu’s incident really does seem fishy.”

Initially, they thought that it was just some random people creating a scene at the company. But the more Nicole thought about it, the more she felt that things were not connecting.

Even if someone were to cause a scene, they should be targeting Nicole instead of Lulu for a bigger effect.

However, those people only asked for Lulu, and they came prepared by engaging news reporters. If they had not managed to control the situation in time, would the news be spread across the whole town by now?

After giving it a lot of thought, Nicole still felt that someone was behind the whole incident. Moreover, that person was not targeting Nicole or DillCorp. In fact, it was targeted toward Lulu only.

“What are you thinking about?” Jared asked in a gentle tone as he noticed that Nicole was down and silent the entire

time. It was as if she was in deep thoughts.

Nicole frowned and responded, “I better ask someone to look into this incident.”

“I’ll ask Max to arrange it.” Jared took out his phone and dialed Max’s number.

After Jared had given his orders, he put his phone aside and turned to Nicole. “Let’s just wait for the updates.”

“Thank you.” Nicole smiled. Even if she were to arrange for someone to investigate the matter, it would be challenging. It would be faster with Max’s help.

Chapter 2494

“You should get some rest.” Jared held Nicole’s hands and pulled her to the bed.

“Okay.” Nicole lightly nodded her head. She was definitely tired.

Once the lights were out, the whole room was filled with silence.

The next morning, the sun shone brightly.

After breakfast, Jared and Nicole sent their children to school.

Seeing that the kids had entered the school compound, they left for DillCorp.

Just as the car was moving, Max reported, “Ma’am, about Lulu’s incident, it’s been confirmed that someone was behind it.”

Nicole frowned a little and slowly uttered, “Icyln?”

“Yes,” Max replied.

Nicole snorted. Thinking about the incident, Icyln was the only person in San Joto who would have the intention of hurting Lulu.

Icyln had been bothering Spencer multiple times with the intention of creating a misunderstanding between Spencer and Lulu. Now that the couple was going to get married, Icyln would never have a chance if she did not do anything. Finally, she had revealed her true colors.

“But it’s a shame we could not get much. The lady, who Icyln bribed, claimed that she mistook Lulu for the person she was looking for. And coincidentally, her target was also named Lulu Barrera. She did not reveal any other details to us.” With that, they could not confront Icyln on the matter as they did not have any evidence.

“What a sly person.” A cold look appeared in Nicole’s eyes. If Icyln had bribed this lady, she must have prepared an escape route if things were to fail.

“It doesn’t matter then. She won’t back down anyways,” Nicole said coldly, and her eyes darkened.

If Icyln noticed this, Nicole would only be in a lot more danger. Then, Nicole would have to give up and let go of this incident.

But it was likely that Icyln would not give up easily. Since she failed this round, she would most probably strike again. Then, Nicole would just sit back and wait.

Max understood what Nicole meant and replied solemnly,” I’ll get someone to keep an eye on her.”

If Icyln were to make a move, they had to catch her red handed and leave no room for her to escape.

“Alright.” Nicole’s eyes darkened further. She believed that Icyln would walk into the trap on her own soon.

After a while, the car came to a halt.

Seeing that they had arrived at DillCorp, Nicole opened the door and got down from the car.

Just as she was entering the building, she heard Lulu’s voice.

“Lulu, shouldn’t you rest for another day?” Nicole was a little shocked to see Lulu back at work already.

“I’m fine now.” Lulu held onto Nicole’s arms and started walking. “But I’ll need to take leave in the afternoon.”

“You’re busy?” Nicole raised her eyebrow because Lulu rarely took leave from work.

Lulu nodded. “Spencer’s teacher’s birthday is coming. I’m accompanying Spencer to buy a birthday present.”

“I guess the both of you are fine now.” Nicole smiled.

The two of them chatted while they walked to the office.

“I’ll get to work now. Let me know if you need help,” said Lulu, walking toward her office.

Nicole turned around and entered her own office.

Just as she sat down, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Preston, Nicole raised an eyebrow.

She picked up the call. “Preston. You’ve got some news?”

“How did you know?”

“It was Nolan who discovered it. So, I guess you might have some updates on your side,” Nicole said frankly.

Chapter 2495

Preston understood the situation immediately. “So that’s the case. I thought you could predict the future.”

Hearing Preston’s mocking tone, Nicole could not help but laugh. “How’s the investigation going?”

“I’ve looked into the suspicious traces found previously.

Some of it was truly done out of curiosity, but there was one that seems questionable. And we’ve managed to track down that address,” Preston explained briefly.

“Have you identified the person?” asked Nicole, eyes narrowed.

“Gary’s looking into it. At the moment, we haven’t identified the actual person yet, but I’m sure he or she is in San Joto.” Preston’s voice lowered a little as he said, “In fact, that person might be someone close to us. Someone who’s involved in our lives.”

“You’re saying there’s a high chance that it’s someone we know?” Nicole’s heart felt heavy. Could it really be someone they know?

“Oh, one more thing. Someone accepted your task. That person has contacted us, and we’ve checked them.

Although we’re not sure of the person’s actual identity, he seems to be capable.” Preston added.

“Does he know where the Fire Crest is?” Nicole’s voice turned anxious.

“No, he mentioned that he only knows where the other four Crests are. As for the Fire Crest…” After a pause, Preston sounded helpless as he said, “He said that it’s with you.”

Everyone knew about this, but not many knew that Nicole had lost the Fire Crest.

“Then, you can ask him about the four other Crests. As for the money, you can decide with him.” Nicole lightly shook her head. The one which she was most concerned with, was the Fire Crest. After all, the rest of the Crests had nothing to do with her.

But since the person could reveal the whereabouts of the other Crests, it would not be a harm for her to have that knowledge.

“Alright, I got it,” Preston replied.

“Great.” After that, she changed the topic of conversation.” Do you have any other comments about the tech company?”

“No. You guys did a perfect job in preparing it. The people you recommended are great too. You can ask them to come over immediately,” Preston said, full of gratitude. “Thank you, Nicole.”

Now, Preston not only owned a tech company, but everything had been prepared for him by Nicole.

“You’re welcome. It was meant for you anyways.” Nicole smiled. All she did was transform DillCorp into a tech company which Preston would prefer to manage.

“I promised to treat you to a meal. Once I’m done with the investigation, I’ll call you and book a date,” Preston said.

“Sure!” Nicole replied and hung up.

After she had put her phone away, Nicole narrowed her eyes. ‘Someone around me…’

At noon, Lulu brought Nicole’s lunch order into her office.” Here’s your lunch.”

“Thank you.” Nicole smiled.

“Remember to have your lunch. I’m leaving now.” Lulu waved as she was about to leave.

“You have a date, right?” Nicole teased.

Lulu explained, “It’s not a date. We’re picking a gift for his teacher.”

“It’s about the same.” Nicole smiled and gave a teasing look at Lulu. “After you’re done picking a present, the both of you can spend more time on dating.”

“Whatever. I’m leaving now.” Lulu’s cheeks were so red that she turned around and ran off.

Nicole smiled and shook her head. “They’re about to get married soon, and she’s still so shy about it.”

Opening her lunch box, Nicole was satisfied with what Lulu had picked for her. It was all of Nicole’s favorite food. She began to indulge in it happily.

Meanwhile, Lulu had stepped out of DillCorp, and Spencer had just arrived to pick her up.
