Ch. 2501..2505: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2501-2505
Chapter 2501 After drinking the coffee he had freshly ground and eating the pasta he had prepared, Nicole suddenly felt like she had gone back in time.
She understood his determination to keep this place as it was.
After leaving the coffee shop, Jared took Nicole back to their manor.
“Aren't we going back to the Riddle residence?" Nicole asked as she thought.
'Nolan and Lana are still there.' "We won't be going back there tonight," Jared said, casting a deep look at Nicole.
He held Nicole's delicate hand tightly and led her into the manor.
The manor was still the same as when she had first returned.
She remembered that she had been forcibly brought back by him.
Nicole could not help but smile when she thought of this.
" Although I've been here twice, it feels really different this time." After all, the last time she was brought here, she had been taken back forcibly, so she was both worried and scared.
Jared glanced at her and gently stroked her hair.
"This time, you're coming home, so of course it's different." "Right," Nicole replied softly.
This time, she was coming home, returning to where they belonged.
She took the initiative to hold Jared's large hand and raised her head with a smile.
"Our home." “Welcome home." Jared gently hugged Nicole.
He knew that at that moment, she was the Nicole that he had loved before.
Even if she had not fully recovered her memories, she had remembered their past.
Nicole raised her hand and lightly tapped Jared's chest.
"Thank you for not forgetting me." ‘For not forgetting me, not giving up on me, searching for me, and waiting for me.' Jared's gaze was filled with affection as he reached up to gently stroke Nicole's hair, his touch tender.
He would never forget.
If she could not find her way back, he would keep looking.
He went through every room with Nicole and said, "This is our home.
Nolan and Lana will grow up happily here, and we'll live happily here too." This time, they were going to be together forever, never to be separated again.
"Yeah." Nicole nodded gently, holding Jared's hand.
‘That's right.
We'd never be separated again.’ Jared's gaze darkened with lust as he lifted Nicole into his arms and walked toward the bedroom.
The next day, in the morning, the first rays of sunlight spilled into the room.
Nicole had just woken up when she heard Jared's voice by her ear.
"Go back to sleep if you're tired," Jared said, stroking her hair.
Nicole's cheeks turned red as she pushed Jared away playfully.
" Hurry up and get up.
We have to go back.
Nolan and Lana will find it strange if they don't see us." Upon saying that, Nicole got out of bed and went to the bathroom.
After a simple wash, Jared had already put on his clothes.
Seeing him go to wash up, Nicole went to change her clothes too.
After leaving the manor and returning to the Riddle residence, the children had already woken up.
They looked confused when they saw their parents coming back from outside.
"Mommy, where did you and Daddy go?" “We went for a morning exercise," Jared replied calmly, holding Lana as he walked toward the dining room.
Nicole's mouth twitched.
A morning exercise? She could not believe he came up with that excuse.
But she could only go along with Jared and said, "Yes, let's have breakfast first, and then we'll take you to school." As she walked with Nolan toward the dining room, Nicole heard Nolan muttering, "Who dresses up like this for morning exercises? Shouldn't you wear workout clothes?" Nicole's expression became a bit awkward, but she did not want to look weird as she was afraid that Nolan would notice.
Even Nolan knew that people would wear activewear for morning exercises.
How could Jared just casually use this as an excuse?
Chapter 2502
Chapter 2502 After everyone had seated themselves in the dining room, breakfast was served.
Gloria glanced at Spencer and asked, "Is Lulu okay now?" "She's fine.
Fortunately, the situation didn't escalate, and it didn't cause any harm to her," Spencer replied.
Then, he looked at Nicole and added, "We should thank you for this.
If it weren't for you, Lulu's situation would be difficult to handle." Even though they had clarified the situation, the negative impact of the incident would be challenging to erase once it spread.
“Of course I'd help." Not only was Lulu her sister-in-law, but she was also her best friend.
“As long as Lulu wasn't hurt, that's good.
You should spend more time with her these days," Gloria advised Spencer.
"Okay," Spencer agreed with a nod.
Even though Lulu was unharmed this time, she had been genuinely scared during the incident.
As they chatted, the family finished breakfast and went their separate ways.
Nicole and Jared took Nolan and Lana to school.
"Bye, Mommy," the two kids said in unison.
“Behave, okay?" Nicole lovingly patted the heads of her children.
"Bye, Daddy." Lana looked at Jared with a grin and waved her hand.
Jared nodded with a smile.
"Bye-bye." After that, Jared looked at Nolan who seemed a bit stunned.
Then, Nolan awkwardly averted his gaze.
Jared raised his eyebrow subtly before turning to Lana.
"I'll pick you up after school." "Sure!" Lana replied happily, taking Nolan's hand.
"Nolan, let's go inside." Nicole sighed helplessly as she watched them enter their school.
" It seems like you really scared Nolan back then.
That's why he can't open up to you now." Although she can sense that Nolan's feelings toward Jared had changed, Nolan still cannot fully accept Jared, which was why his expression was still a bit awkward.
"Maybe," Jared replied calmly.
Although Nolan refused to call him ‘Daddy’, he believed that Nolan was already changing.
It was just a matter of time before he could overcome his pride.
Nicole tilted her head and looked at Jared, furrowing her eyebrows.
"Do you really not mind?" "He'll get better." Jared gently pinched Nicole's hand.
"Give him some more time." Upon hearing this, Nicole finally smiled with relief.
She just did not want any conflict between them.
"Drive," Jared instructed Max.
The car started and headed toward DillCorp.
After some time, they arrived, and Nicole got out of the car.
She bid farewell to Jared and walked into the company.
In her office, Lulu was already waiting for her.
"Nicole, there's been progress," Lulu said with excitement.
Nicole glanced at Lulu and guessed, "Everett?" "Yes, how did you know?" Lulu was surprised, her eyes widening.
Nicole shrugged.
"I could tell by your expression.
It wasn't that hard to guess." Besides, the only thing that could make Lulu this excited was updates on Everett's situation.
Lulu cupped her cheeks and murmured, "Is it that obvious?" "Very," Nicole replied with a light laugh.
"Oh well, let's not talk about that for now.
Take a look at these documents first." Lulu placed several files in front of Nicole.
Nicole opened them and saw that they were all cooperation agreements.
She smirked and said, "Steve is quite efficient in handling business matters."
Chapter 2503
Chapter 2503 Steve secured all these contracts so quickly.
Even though they weren't the biggest investment projects, they were more than what DillCorp could ask for.
"Yes, we not only got these projects but also the companies that ran into trouble previously.
After an internal investigation, it was discovered that they were all framed by Everett.
Now, almost all of them have turned against him," Lulu explained.
Those companies had cooperated with NandoCorp, but Everett still sabotaged them from behind, which had thoroughly disheartened them.
"He's ruthless," Nicole scoffed disdainfully.
Everett was willing to use any means, whether it was revealing existing secrets or fabricating false ones.
Did he really believe he would not get caught? "It's a pity that he bit off more than he could chew," Lulu said with a smirk.
Otherwise, they would not have had evidence against him.
“What are those companies' plans?" Nicole asked, her eyes slightly narrowing.
“They're preparing to terminate their collaboration.
As for those who haven't collaborated with NandoCorp yet, they won't consider partnering with them in the future anymore.
Additionally, those who got set up plan to sue them too," Lulu whispered.
"Should we add fuel to the fire?" "What do you mean?" Nicole asked, intrigued by Lulu's mischievous grin.
“Well, NandoCorp probably has its own dark secrets, right? Why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to expose them?" With Everett already dealing with internal conflicts, bringing external troubles to him would surely make his life even more difficult.
“That's not a bad idea," Nicole said with a slight nod.
"Do you have any information?" “Hehe, you can get it, can't you?" Lulu chuckled playfully.
Nicole playfully rolled her eyes at Lulu.
"You've got it all figured out, haven't you?” Lulu scratched her head and laughed awkwardly.
"I could arrange for someone to investigate, but it'd definitely be slower than you doing it." Nicole chuckled and shook her head.
"I'll take care of this myself." With that, Nicole turned on her computer, entered a string of characters, and switched to a different interface.
She figured that she should resolve it herself.
Rather than entrusting someone else, Nicole preferred to hack into NandoCorp's system, which was the simplest and most efficient way.
Lulu watched Nicole, whose expression became serious as she typed away on the keyboard.
After a while, Nicole looked up with a smile.
"It's done." "That's fast!" Lulu was amazed.
Clearly, Nicole had a way to get things done quickly.
After outputting the information she had found, Nicole logged out of NandoCorp's system and erased all traces of her activities.
"You can take it from here," Nicole said, handing the information to Lulu.
Grinning triumphantly, Lulu raised her chin.
"Get ready to enjoy the show." "Sure." Nicole smiled.
"I'll get going now," Lulu said, waving the documents in her hand and winking at Nicole.
"Go ahead." Nicole waved her off, chuckling.
Watching Lulu leave the office, Nicole could not help but smile wryly.
'Oh, Lulu.' After Lulu left the office, she immediately arranged for someone to report the evidence of tax evasion and fraud by NandoCorp to the relevant authorities.
Looking at her handiwork, Lulu snorted and said to herself, " Everett, this time you'll know what it's like to be hoisted by your own petard." One could only imagine the expression on Everett's face when he found out.
Just thinking about it was satisfying.
In the afternoon, the sunlight was scorching.
After having lunch, everyone was feeling rather drowsy.
Chapter 2504
Chapter 2504 The peaceful afternoon in San Joto suddenly turned into a frenzy due to a few messages.
NandoCorp under Riddle Corporation faced a joint declaration from several companies stating that they would no longer cooperate.
Additionally, they were accused of maliciously defaming their competitors, with the most explosive revelation being the evidence of NandoCorp's own tax evasion.
In no time, San Joto was abuzz with discussions and debates.
There were also hidden currents at play.
"Nicole, Everett must be in a panic this time," Lulu said witha gleeful expression, clearly reveling in the chaos.
“At least we get to take a break for a few days now." Nicole shrugged.
Everett was likely busy dealing with the issues at NandoCorp and would not have time to continue targeting DillCorp.
“He'd be fuming if he ever finds out we exposed him," Lulu said with a wicked grin.
'Hah! Let's see if he ever dares to find trouble with DillCorp again! ' Nicole raised an eyebrow and playfully said, "He'll probably guess it, but he won't know how we did it." After all, at this point, with NandoCorp being in trouble, the suspicion would naturally fall on her.
"It's best to keep him guessing and make him frustrated." Lulu chuckled.
Nicole was amused as she responded, "So why don't you go watch this unfold?" "On it, right now," Lulu said with a grin before leaving Nicole's office.
She had come to update Nicole on the progress of the situation and needed to get back to work on the next steps.
After Lulu left the office, Nicole glanced at the files on her desk and picked up one of them.
She calmly began to read.
‘Everett is probably quite busy at the moment..." Meanwhile, at NandoCorp, the sudden turn of events had left the company in turmoil.
Employees seemed irritable, and the atmosphere in the entire office, especially in Damien and Everett's offices, was stifling.
"Mr.
Riddle, it seems like this was a deliberate attack against us," an assistant carefully said with a pale face.
Everett glared fiercely at the assistant.
"Do you think I can't see that?!" "I was just speculating about who might be behind it.” The assistant shuddered.
“Hmph, it's definitely Nicole!" Everett snorted, his eyes filled with anger.
"But there hasn't been any activity from their side," the assistant pointed out, puzzled.
He knew that DillCorp was the most suspicious culprit.
In fact, they had been cautious about Nicole but had not detected anything unusual on her end.
'How did she pull this off?" “Nicole always has a lot of tricks up her sleeve," Everett said through gritted teeth.
Although he had no concrete evidence, he could not think of anyone else who would target them.
"So, what do we do now?" the assistant asked in a hushed tone.
Since they suspected Nicole, they could not just sit and wait.
Everett was furious as he sighed in frustration.
"Let's address the company's issues first." With both internal and external problems plaguing them, they could only deal with their internal problems first.
They could address the external ones later.
With a heavy heart, Everett stood up and left his office, heading toward Damien's office.
"Are these the results you wanted to show me?" Damien's face turned red as he gritted his teeth.
"It's Nicole's doing,'' Everett replied, looking frustrated.
Damien furrowed his eyebrows.
"But they didn't detect any unusual activities on their end, no?"
Chapter 2505
Chapter 2505 "But it's got to be her," Everett said with a dark expression.
He knew Nicole was capable of doing that without leaving any traces behind.
After a moment of silence, Damien nodded in agreement.
"Yes, it's unlikely to be anyone else." "But Dad, let's not talk about that now.
We should deal with the company's issues first," Everett sighed, feeling frustrated.
That was the only thing he could do.
“What's your plan?" Damien furrowed his brows.
Indeed, they were facing a bigger problem they should definitely deal with first.
"I think..." Before Everett could finish his sentence, the office door suddenly swung open.
Several individuals in uniforms entered, followed by the secretary, who looked timid.
She stammered, "Mr.
Riddle..." “You may leave now," Although Damien was unhappy, he did not have the energy to find fault in his secretary.
Once the secretary left, Damien stood up and asked, ''What can we do for you here at our company?" “You don't need to do anything, just cooperate with the investigation." "We've received a report alleging tax evasion in your company..." Damien felt his vision darken, but he clenched his teeth and said, " Sure, we'll do as you say.” "Hey!" Everett called out.
Very soon, his assistant came into the room.
"Yes, Mr.
Riddle?" "Help them with whatever they need." Everett passed the documents on to his assistant, as he still had to figure something out to get NandoCorp out of trouble.
“Dad, I'm heading back to my office." Everett shot Damien a glance.
"Go ahead.
We'll deal with this." Damien nodded in understanding.
Then, Everett turned to the officers and said, "My office is just next door.
You're free to come over if you need anything." "Sure.
For now, we have a few questions for the chairman of this company." “All right." Once Everett had left the room, the investigators began questioning Damien.
On the other side of the office, Everett went back to his room and his face turned red in anger.
However, he could not afford to vent his frustration at the moment.
He clenched his teeth to calm himself down and tried to come up with a solution.
‘What should I do..." he wondered to himself.
When the sun began to set, Lulu entered Nicole's office with an air of triumph.
"Looks like Everett is in for a rough time." "He's not that weak," Nicole said calmly before lifting her gaze to Lulu and adding, "However, this is indeed going to be a challenge for him." Nicole stood up as she spoke.
"Come on, it's time to go." "Sure." Lulu followed Nicole out of the office.
Once they stepped outside, they only saw Jared's car.
Nicole could not help but ask Lulu softly, "Is Spencer coming?” "Oh, he has a concert later, so he won't be coming today," Lulu said as her cheeks turned red.
"I'm going to his concert later." "Oh, it looks like both of you are still in the honeymoon phase.
How sweet!" Nicole teased.
"That's enough.
I'm leaving now." Lulu felt shy after hearing what Nicole said.
She shot Nicole a glare and hailed a cab.
