Ch. 2526..2530: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2526-2530

Chapter 2526

“W-Why? No. Not at all,” Damien reluctantly denied upon catching a glimpse of Nicole’s threatening gaze.

With that out of the way, Mr. Riddle Sr stated, “If that’s the case, I’ll have Alfred deliver Chloe’s treatment fee to you every month in the future.”

After a slight pause, he added, “If there’s nothing else, you may all leave.”

With a weary look on his face, Mr. Riddle Sr. waved his hands, gesturing for the crowd to leave, whereupon the house butler took charge and directed them out. “Mr. Riddle Sr. is tired and needs some rest. Please go home, everyone.”

Damien shot Nicole one last glare before leaving, while Miley pushed Chloe’s wheelchair out the door from behind him.

“Dad, let’s go too,” Nicole indicated.

She knew Mr. Riddle Sr. was mentally exhausted now, and above anything, she wanted to give him some space.

“Yeah, come on.” Daniel sighed.

“Get some rest, Grandpa. I’ll settle it,” Nicole said whilst giving him a meaningful glance.

Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole, perplexed, and in a serious tone of voice, he said, “I appreciate it.”

To that, Nicole smiled. “Come on, Grandpa. There’s no need to say that. It’s my job anyway. Don’t worry about it.”

“Yeah.” Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed.

Then, with the help of the house butler, he trudged his way upstairs.

Watching as Mr. Riddle Sr.’s figure vanished up the flight of steps, Nicole’s eyes narrowed. Mr. Riddle Sr. must be feeling heavy-hearted, as he was clear about what Damien’s intentions were.

After leaving the Riddle family manor, Daniel whispered, “I’ll go home first.”

Daniel then got into the car and drove away as Nicole and Jared entered theirs.

While they leaned back against their seats. Nicole groaned,” Well, he had a good plan in mind.”

Damien’s motives were rather obvious. After he had declared bankruptcy and the company was auctioned off, he wanted Mr. Riddle Sr. to step in and buy the company back. His plan was to get Mr. Riddle Sr. to hand it over to them afterward.

With those intentions in mind, Damien even went as far as pushing Chloe out to elicit sympathy from the old man.

However, given that it was Damien’s style of plan, Mr. Riddle Sr. had seen through him, and that was why he had called Nicole over.

And with the fact that she was the current chairman of

Riddle Corporation, it would make more sense to get her to deal with it. After all, Nicole was in charge of all company matters. Even the acquisition of NandoCorp required Nicole’s approval, and while Nicole was determined to seize NandoCorp, she would not hand it to Damien.

Meanwhile, Damien, Chloe and Miley had just left the estate after they had gotten into their car.

“Dad, Grandpa has agreed to pay for my treatment, but what about the company?” Chloe asked in a whisper.

Their intention today was not to discuss the treatment fee, but to ask Mr. Riddle Sr. to reclaim NandoCorp for them.

“That little shit, Nicole, must have done something on purpose,” Miley barked.

Indeed, if Nicole had not shown up today, their plan would have succeeded.

Chapter 2527

Damien darted a glance at Miley and Chloe, and in an icy tone of voice, he said, “This is father’s decision.”

After all, if Mr. Riddle Sr. really wanted to help them, Nicole would have no choice but to follow the old man’s wishes.

Hearing those words uttered made Miley’s face blanch.” What about our future? I don’t want to end up in such a miserable situation as Dillion.”

If Mr. Riddle Sr. refused to help them, their family would really have no way out.

Enraged, Damien glared at Miley and said, “Hold your tongue, woman! I’m not as stupid as he is!”

“My apologies.” Miley timidly backed down.

Then, Chloe frowned and asked Damien, “Dad, what are your plans?”

“Give me a damn minute,” Damien said in frustration. “Now of all times, Everett is unreachable.”

“I’m afraid he can’t expose himself to the public eye right now. He’ll contact you when it’s convenient and safe to do so,” Chloe gritted her teeth. “I guess we truly are on our own right now.”

“We’re on our own?” Damien stared Chloe down. “What is that supposed to mean?”

Due to the current predicament they were in, they had no one to rely on.

“Everything happened because of Nicole. Everything would have been smooth sailing if we had dealt with Nicole,” Chloe explained, her eyes glinting with malice.

And indeed, as long as Nicole was taken care of, all their other problems would turn to dust.

Damien silently stared at Chloe for a moment before deciding, “You’re right. Once we’ve taken care of Nicole, the other problems won’t matter.”

The father and daughter exchanged glances and understood each other’s intentions without another word from one another.

Chloe leaned against her wheelchair, and a sinister leer gradually crossed on her face.

The sun shone bright and warm the next day. After breakfast, Nicole and Jared proceeded to drop the kids off at their kindergarten as usual. Her face was brimming with affection for the kids as she bade her farewells and watched them enter the establishment.

As the car began picking up speed, Max informed, “Mr. and Mrs. Johnston, we have news on Mr. Riddle Sr.’s investigation.”

Nicole’s face darkened as she went on to ask, “You found the doctor?”

“Yes, we got the doctor,” Max informed, his tone cold and

his voice deep. “The doctor fled the country and has been using a fake identity. That was why we had no news of him for so long.”

“And where is the doctor now?” Nicole’s eyes flashed, her eyes burning with fury.

It has been so long since they finally got a lead on what had happened.

When this incident happened and after Mr. Riddle Sr. had been harmed, the culprit must have left some crumbs behind. Everett had apparently found evidence against Dillion, but nothing would be more convincing than the doctor’s direct testimony.

Nicole always had doubts about his findings, as the timing of the evidence was too coincidental. She hoped the truth would finally reveal itself this time.

“The doctor is on his way here and will be reaching San Joto tomorrow,” Max cautiously. “We kept this news confidential, so no one apart from us actually knows about it. I’ve made arrangements for him to remain hidden once he reaches San Joto.”

“That’s nice. Make sure to thoroughly question him,” Nicole instructed.

“Yes, don’t worry about it,” Max replied, focusing on the road.

Nicole then stared at Jared and said coldly, “Well, he’s good at hiding.”

“Even if he is good at hiding, he will always leave traces,” Jared assured Nicole, holding her hand. ‘ Max will take care of this. You can just relax and wait for the results.”

“Yeah,” Nicole nodded and began thinking about who the potential suspect was.

Chapter 2528

Arriving at DillCorp, Nicole got out of the car and entered the company building.

“Lulu?” she instinctively called out before realizing that Lulu had taken a day off to pick Spencer’s teacher up at the airport.

“If you need anything, just let me know,” the secretary approached and informed Nicole.

“I’m good. You may proceed with your work,” Nicole casually said as she entered her office.

It was just Nicole’s habit to call out for Lulu. She did not actually have any business to attend to.

Meanwhile, Spencer and Lulu were trying their best to find Peter among the crowd in the airport.

“Is that him?” Lulu exclaimed, her eyes lighting up as she pointed at someone not far ahead.

Spencer followed her directions and that was when he saw his teacher. He wore a warm smile on his face as he approached Peter with Lulu beside him.

“Hey, Peter!” Spencer greeted.

He was excited, for it had been a while since he last saw Peter.

Peter proceeded to size Spencer up and before he turned to

Lulu with a smile. “And you must be Lulu.”

“Good day, Mr. Lincoln,” Lulu greeted.

“My, oh my. You have a great eye, Spencer. This one’s a keeper,” Peter complimented.

Hearing that, Lulu shyly replied, “Oh, you’re too kind.”

“Hah, well, you deserve every bit of it,” Peter chuckled.” Come on, let’s go. I’m heading home after your wedding is over.”

“I have gotten your hotel arranged. You should settle down first. We’ve also booked a restaurant for your welcome lunch,” Spencer said as he grabbed Peter’s suitcase.

“Alright, let’s go,” Peter agreed.

“Mr. Lincoln!”

Just as they were about to leave, a somewhat regretful voice blared out. “I didn’t expect the jam on the way here. I mostly didn’t make it in time to pick you up.”

Looking at Icyln, who had come in a rush, Peter flashed her a gentle smile and said, “You came.”

“Sure, I did. With you in San Joto, how could I not come over to pick you up?” Icyln hurried over, pushed Lulu aside, and held onto Peter’s arm. “Thank goodness, I’m on time. Let’s go.”

Lulu frowned but remained silent upon noticing what Icyln was doing. She then stepped aside and began walking next to Spencer, who held her hand with a soft smile on his smile.

“Come on,” he said, holding onto Peter’s suitcase in one hand and Lulu’s hand in another.

The two of them then took the lead and prepared the quartet to leave.

Icyln turned red from anger when she saw Spencer and Lulu walking away. However, she could not let go of Peter and continued supporting him from behind the couple.

After leaving the airport, Icyln called out to Spencer as he was bringing Lulu to the car.

“Spencer, can we hitch a ride in your car too? I took a cab here,” Icyln asked with anticipation.

“Yeah, why not?” Spencer naturally agreed, as he was here to pick Peter up.

He would not leave Icyln behind either, as she was not driving today.

After getting into the car, Icyln felt relieved that she was not driving today. Though she was annoyed with Lulu’s presence at the front passenger seat, she could, at the very least, hitch a ride in Spencer’s car.

As for the rest, Icyln was not worried because she believed Lulu’s good days were coming to an end. As this thought flitted in her mind, a sneer appeared on Icyln’s face. She was eagerly looking forward to seeing how miserable Lulu would be when Spencer abandoned her.

“Mr. Lincoln, you should stay longer this time. It’s been such a long time since you and Spencer last saw each other.

Besides, I haven’t seen you for quite a while either since I arrived in San Joto,” Icyln said in an affectionate tone of voice as she clung on to Peter’s arm.

Chapter 2529

“Indeed.” Peter nodded. “I came for Spencer’s wedding. I must witness their big day before I return.”

Icyln’s smile froze as her heart sank. She was feeling so miserable that it became difficult for her to even breathe.

“Mr. Lincoln, I’ve taken some time off for two days. Let me take you around San Joto,” Spencer said as it got quiet all of a sudden.

“That’s great. I took some time off to spend time with Mr. Lincoln too. Let’s do it together.” Icyln beamed out of excitement as she brushed her feelings aside.

“Well, the two of you go ahead. I still have some work to tend to,” Lulu interjected, feeling guilty as she looked at Peter. “Mr. Lincoln? Please allow Spencer to accompany you during the day. I’ll treat you to dinner.”

“Don’t worry about it. You young people should prioritize your work.” Peter then turned to Spencer and Icyln. “The same goes to the both of you. Don’t put your work on hold because of me.”

“It’s fine. We’re not performing anytime soon. Besides, you hardly ever visit us, Mr. Lincoln. We should really stroll around San Joto. You must be happy having both Spencer and I keeping you company, huh?”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Lincoln. I’ve already made arrangements to my schedule,” Spencer chimed in.

Hearing that, Peter responded, “Fine, but don’t let your schedule be affected because of me.”

“Well, accompanying you is our top priority now,” Icyln said as she wrapped her arm around Mr. Lincoln’s and swung it playfully.

“Haha, alright. Thank you.” Peter laughed heartily.

In the afternoon, the sun was scorching, making everyone feel a little drowsy. Nicole, in particular, was sitting on the couch, seemingly lost in thought.

Suddenly, someone pushed the door open, prompting Nicole to look up in surprise. “Why are you back?”

“Long story.” Lulu sighed and sat down next to Nicole with an evident look of frustration on her face.

Nicole blinked in confusion. “What’s up? Spencer’s teacher wasn’t around?”

“Nah, it’s just that Icyln was there too,” Lulu said, her voice brimming with frustration.

She then went on to explain how Icyln had acted throughout the day, subtly poking fun at her at every opportunity.

Once the story was over, Nicole shook her head in amusement. “Is she a three-year-old?”

‘She’s so childish! Does she really think she’s doing something?’ Nicole thought.

“Who knows?” Lulu replied. “She’s making everyone uncomfortable. It’s like she’s the only one who isn’t

embarrassed by whatever the hell it is she is doing.”

“Well, did it go smoothly? You know, picking their teacher up and everything.” Nicole asked, not worried about Icyln.

“All good. Besides, their teacher likes me.” Lulu smiled.

At least I had that going for me,’ Lulu thought.

“That’s good to hear. Otherwise, you’d be under a lot of pressure,” Nicole remarked.

She could imagine how upset Lulu would be if their teacher did not like her, considering how much Spencer respected him. That was why Lulu wanted the teacher’s approval.

“Exactly. I figured it’s going to be extremely boring there, and I didn’t want to watch Icyln’s revolting show of shoe-shining. That’s why I came back,” Lulu said, shrugging her shoulders.

She felt more comfortable being back here at the office, and she believed that Peter would be fine with Spencer and Icyln around him.

“Sounds good. Let Spencer deal with the headache of Icyln’s lousy acting. After all, he’s the one who brought this blight of a person upon himself,” Nicole commented.

‘Icyln’s behavior is truly distasteful,’ she thought as she cringed.

 

Chapter 2530

“Forget it, let’s not talk about her anymore,” Lulu said, not wanting to dwell on that particular subject. “How about things here? Is everything going smoothly?”

“It’s alright. Now we’re just waiting for the results,” Nicole shrugged, looking rather calm.

“What about yesterday? Why did you go back to the family manor?” Lulu asked, her face taking on an expression of total seriousness.

“My dearest Uncle Damien has set his sights on the headquarters. He wants Grandpa to step in, have the headquarters buy out NandoCorp, and then return it to them, ” Nicole explained in a nonchalant tone, as if she was talking about someone else’s story.

Lulu widened her eyes in shock. “What were they thinking? It’s unbelievable!”

“He hasn’t had a chance to say it yet because I didn’t give him the opportunity to do so. But everyone can see it. We can all see what he’s upto” Nicole shrugged, believing that everyone present understood the situation.

“Yeah, well done,” Lulu nodded approvingly. ‘No wonder Mr. Riddle Sr. wanted Nicole to be there. Seems like Nicole is the only one who could deal with them.’

Lulu was smirking, delighted at the notion of how Damien was turned away before he could even say a word.

“However, I don’t think they will give up that easily.” Nicole’s gaze darkened. ‘Damien isn’t a sitting duck. He won’t give up just yet.’

“What are they going to do?” Lulu murmured with a frown.” Everett’s out of the picture and their plan failed. What else can they do?”

“If they give up now, I won’t go after them. But if they don’t, they will get what’s coming to them,” Nicole said.

The Riddle family was fine until they almost succeeded in getting Mr. Riddle Sr. killed. And now, even after they had lost the company, they still had the temerity to come after the headquarters. For all they had perpetrated, Nicole planned to teach them a lesson and show them they were messing with the wrong folks.

“Hey, where do you think Everett has gone? Did he know that the company was going bankrupt, and so, he ran away before it even happened?” Lulu speculated.

“He definitely has other plans in store. We need to be cautious,” Nicole’s eyes narrowed.

“Yeah, I’ll have someone keep an eye out,” Lulu assured.

Nicole glanced at Lulu and gave her a faint smile. “Don’t worry, Lulu. I’ll handle it.”

Lulu blushed as she remembered what Nicole had previously said. The latter had urged her to sit back and wait until the day she became Spencer’s wife and not get involved in the company’s affairs as much.

“I can still help out a little, can’t I?” Lulu asked.

“Of course, help out as much as you want. Stay at the company if you will,” Nicole said with a pat on Lulu’s shoulder.

In reply, Lulu chuckled and jabbed, “You’re still asking me to take a rest, aren’t you?”

Nicole shrugged and smiled. She did want Lulu to catch a break until she was married.

“Oh, how time flies. I’m getting nervous now that the wedding is happening soon,” Lulu said, her face scrunched up in anxiety.

“Nervous about what? You’re not getting cold feet, are you?” Nicole raised an eyebrow, finding it hard to believe that someone as optimistic as Lulu would have wedding jitters.

“Can’t say I’m not, but I just feel nervous. After all, it’s my first time.” Lulu grinned.

Nicole could not help but roll her eyes hearing this coming from Lulu. “It’s everyone’s first time. Let’s not try to make it something you’ve got to be experienced at.”

“Haha, you’re right,” Lulu laughed heartily.

After all, marriage was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime event.
