Ch. 2531..2535: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2531-2535

Chapter 2531

As they chatted, their conversation grew livelier, until a secretary knocked on the door, breaking.

“Come in,” Nicole called out as she turned to look at the entrance.

“Miss Riddle, here’s a document from the Legal Department, ” the secretary said as she handed a file to Nicole with a grimace on her face.

She could not help but cast a glance at Lulu when she was doing so.

“Does it have anything to do with my case?” Lulu anxiously asked, understanding what the secretary was trying to convey.

“The results… aren’t very favorable,” the secretary replied, her tone soft and hesitant.

Lulu’s face turned pale as she turned to look at Nicole. She waited until Nicole was done reading the document, so that the latter could explain to her what was going on.

Nicole flipped the document open, and her eyes narrowed as she read the details.

“They want $300,000 and a public apology from Lulu!” Nicole yelled.

Not only had they falsely accused Lulu; they were also greedy enough to demand that much from her.

“The Legal Department suggests that if we want to resolve this quickly, these are their terms,” the secretary explained in a low voice.

Still, the demands from the accusers were ridiculous.

“I won’t agree to that.” Lulu’s pale face turned red as she clenched her teeth, feeling visibly upset.

After she was done, Nicole placed the document away and looked at Lulu. “If that’s the case, then let’s follow the proper procedures and find conclusive evidence.”

She had initially thought about resolving the matter calmly to avoid putting pressure on Spencer and Lulu before their wedding. However, Nicole did not expect that the siblings would be so disgustingly greedy.

Nicole would have let the siblings off the hook if they turned themselves in and admitted their mistakes, as all she wanted was for Lulu and Spencer’s wedding to go smoothly. But since the siblings were not willing to cooperate, she had decided to handle it through the legal, official route.

“Got it,” the secretary replied and left the room.

Meanwhile, Lulu was sitting there, her face tensed up in a grimace as she thought about the situation.

Noting this Nicole attempted to comfort her by saying,” Don’t worry, we will definitely get you through this.”

“They are clearly trying to humiliate me. They want to ruin our wedding. Urgh! I’m sure we’ll be able to find one eyewitness at least,” Lulu said with determination, her hands

clenched and balled up into fists.

“The Legal Department has already sent a bunch of people out to investigate this. Just give it some time,” Nicole reassured her.

“What?! Didn’t you say earlier that if they admitted their mistake, we would forgive them?” Lulu asked, surprised that Nicole had made such a decision.

“That was done in an attempt to resolve things quickly and prevent it from affecting your wedding. However, we need to be prepared in case they don’t cooperate,” Nicole explained.

If they had agreed, Nicole would definitely not escalate, but since they had opted not to, Nicole would see them in court.

Chapter 2532

“Mr. Lincoln needs to get some rest now. If you’re worried, you can stay here and take care of him. I’ll be leaving now,” Spencer stated upon noting that Icyln did not want to leave.

He knew that Peter would not be able to take his nap if he did not leave, and that was why he was firm on leaving.

Reluctantly, Icyln agreed, “Fine.”

There was no point in her staying behind if Spencer was going home anyway.

“Mr. Lincoln, we’ll come to pick you up tomorrow,” Icyln said, pretending to be considerate.

“Sure, you should both go home and get some rest too,” Peter said, smiling at the two of them.

Spencer and Icyln left the hotel soon after, and on the way out, she saw her assistant who was approaching. She quickly shot her a look, and that was when her assistant immediately stopped in her tracks.

Satisfied, Icyln turned her gaze to Spencer and casually asked, “Spencer, where are you going?”

“Home,” Spencer uttered and headed towards his car.

Instinctively, Icyln held onto Spencer’s arm and said, “Wait for me, Spencer.”

“Do you need something?” Spencer stopped and looked at her with confusion in his eyes.

“I don’t have a car. Can you take me home?” Icyln grimaced as she asked him.

In response, he looked around as if searching for a cab for her.

Icyln’s eyes widened, and with her face blanching, she began swaying as though she was about to fall over. “Oh, I feel really dizzy, Spencer,”

Seeing this, Spencer reached out to support Icyln at once.” Low blood sugar? Maybe I should take you to the hospital.”

“No, I’ll just go home and get some rest,” Icyln replied with a weak and pitiful look as if she might collapse at any moment.

Seeing that she was in such a poor condition, Spencer furrowed his brows. He was worried that she might pass out if she took a cab in this condition.

“Let’s go.” Spencer said, left with no choice but to take Icyln back to her apartment.

Hearing his reply placed a smirk on her face, a gesture which Spencer did not notice.

Soon, they got into Spencer’s car, and he drove her back to her apartment.

And even when they were already at the apartment lobby, Icyln was still hobbling, so Spencer had to prop her up, not wanting her to tip over.

Once they entered the apartment, Spencer helped Icyln to the couch and said, “Rest here. There should be some chocolates under your coffee table.”

“Spencer, you remember that I always keep chocolates under the coffee table?” Icyln’s eyes glistened with tears, looking genuinely moved.

“Mr. Lincoln told me that you have a habit of doing that, especially when your blood sugar is low,” Spencer replied calmly.

What Icyln did not seem to notice was Spencer’s detachment as he made that observation. Spencer was only fulfilling his duty as a senior who had been entrusted by their teacher to take care of his junior.

However, Icyln did not share the same perspective. She watched as Spencer searched for the box of chocolates and out of the blue, she hugged him.

“Spencer, you do care about me, don’t you?”

Spencer was momentarily stunned, and his mind went blank for a moment.

And when he did come to his senses, he tried to gently push Icyln away. “Icyln, I’m just your senior, and we share the same teacher.”

But the harder he resisted, the tighter her embrace became.” Spencer, don’t be so cold to me. I know you care about me.”

Spencer’s brows furrowed deeply, and in a split second, he broke out of Icyln’s hands and stood up.

“Spencer, why are you treating me like this?” Icyln began to cry.

“I already have the woman I love, and we’re getting married soon. Please, have some self-respect,” Spencer firmly said, looking at Icyln with complete sternness in his eyes.

Chapter 2533

Chapter 2533 He hoped that Icyln could see the truth, that there was absolutely no possibility of them being together.

“No, she clearly isn't good enough for you.

What's wrong with me? " Icyln protested loudly.

Spencer's eyes turned cold as he indifferently said, "There's nothing to compare between the two of you at all.” After having spoken his mind, Spencer turned around and left Icyln's apartment.

He even began to regret taking her home.

If he had known that things would turn out the way they did, he would have just left her to go home on her own.

"Spencer!" Icyln stuck the couch angrily, but Spencer did not look back.

Right after Spencer had left, her assistant waltzed in.

"Icyln, are you alright? "I can't accept this.

I'm better than that Lulu in every way.

Why won't he give me a chance?" Icyln's eyes became bloodshot as she clenched her teeth.

"It's not your fault.

Spencer must have been misled by Lulu," the assistant consoled.

"Yes, it's all Lulu’s fault," Icyln's eyes gleamed with malice as she looked at her assistant.

''How is the task I've assigned you going? Why haven't we seen Lulu's downfall yet?" ‘why is Lulu still acting like she's all that in front of me?! Why is she still happily together with Spencer?! They're even being all affectionate with each other!’ "Don't worry, Icyln.

The siblings have already promised to tear Lulu's name down," her assistant replied.

"Get them to make haste.

I can't wait any longer!" Icyln urged.

"Yes, I'll go and urge them to speed up right away," the assistant said before turning to make a phone call.

Icyln sat on the couch, her chest heaving with anger.

Her eyes were burning with malice as she thought, ‘Just you wait, Lulu...’ It was a sunny day with a gentle breeze and clear skies.

Nicole knew about Spencer's arrangements, so she gave Lulu a few days off, allowing her to spend time with Spencer and Peter without any worries.

Spencer and Lulu went to pick up Peter and took him around the capital.

Spencer used Icyln's supposed health issues as an excuse to avoid Icyln's presence, and just like that, they had a great time together.

Nicole, on the other hand, had gone to work alone.

Although Lulu was not there, she had gotten everything well organized and consequently, running smoothly.

She was quite capable in handling her work on her own.

If anything, Nicole was busy with paperwork when she heard a string of raps on her door.

"Come in," she casually said.

The door opened, and that was when she noticed that the footsteps she heard were not her secretary's.

Nicole's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she looked up.

“Leo, when did you return?!" Nicole asked, surprised to see Lawrence.

"I just arrived in San Joto," Lawrence replied and placed a box on Nicole's desk.

"I brought something for you and the twins." Seeing the gift box, Nicole knew it contained a special product from Crescent Island, something that was not available anywhere else.

She already knew that Lawrence had not been to Crescent Island this time around, and had gone to Mecrounia instead.

However, he had intentionally brought something from Crescent Island when he came back.

Had it been the old Nicole, she might have thanked him and happily accepted his gift.

But now, everything had changed.

Lawrence did not tell her where he was going when he left, but he had deliberately returned with a gift from Crescent Island, which was a testament of his attempt to make her believe he had been there.

“Thank you." Nicole gathered herself and accepted the gift.

Feeling a sense of coldness and distance in Nicole's attitude, Lawrence furrowed his brows almost imperceptibly.

However, he could not detect anything unusual upon careful observation.

“Is everything going smoothly here?" Lawrence asked as he took a seat.

Chapter 2534

Chapter 2534 "Everything is fine," Nicole replied.

"What about you? Did everything go smoothly during your trip?" Lawrence smiled and replied, "Yes, everything went smoothly." “That's good," Nicole nodded with apparent indifference, as if she was just casually asking.

“How were Nolan and Lana doing after I left?" Lawrence asked, searching for a topic about which they could discuss, feeling that Nicole's attitude was somewhat strange.

"They are both doing well.

I took them out over the weekend," Nicole looked at Lawrence and said.

"You've just returned, so you should get some rest." She was dealing with a cocktail of mixed feelings, and she did not want to engage with Lawrence any further at the moment.

She needed some time alone to collect her thoughts.

Momentarily stunned, Lawrence gathered himself before responding, "Alright, I'll head back now." After standing up, Lawrence shot a bullet of a glance at Nicole and left the office.

Nicole sighed quietly, her eyes revealing a hint of weariness.

She could not understand why Lawrence, who had once saved her, was now against her.

She could not grasp what had happened to him.

After Lawrence left, Nicole's calm demeanor turned somber.

Outside the DillCorp building, Ian approached Lawrence and asked, "Mr.

Lawrence, how did it go?" Lawrence's eyes narrowed as he replied coldly, "Find out what happened in San Joto while I was away these past few days." "Yes," Ian immediately agreed, realizing that something was arniss.

When they had gotten into the car, Ian made a phone call to get someone to investigate the recent events in the capital before driving away slowly.

“Mr.

Lawrence, did something happen to Miss Nicole?" Ian inquired.

To him, only Miss Nicole's affairs were able to affect Lawrence's emotions.

"Something must have happened; I can sense that her emotions and attitude are off," Lawrence said in a low voice, seemingly talking to himself.

Ian hesitated for a moment and fell silent.

He knew this was not the right time to disturb Lawrence.

They would have to wait for the investigation results.

Perhaps once the results were out, they would understand what had gone wrong.

Lawrence leaned back in his seat, gazing out of the car window as he pondered.

From the moment of his departure to his return, it seemed like he had not left any clues that could link him to Everett.

It was unlikely that Nicole had discovered his involvement in Everett's disappearance.

After a moment of consideration, Lawrence concluded that something must have happened to Nicole, an event that had nothing to do with him.

He could not let anyone know about his dealings with Everett for now, at least not until he had the upper hand.

Otherwise, both he and Everett would be left in a tough spot.

Back at the DillCorp, Nicole could not figure out what had gotten to Lawrence, so she decided not to dwell on it and focused on her tasks instead.

Unbeknownst to her, it was already lunchtime.

All of a sudden, someone knocked on her office door, and Nicole, assuming it was her secretary delivering lunch, casually said, " Come in." “Aren't you supposed to be having lunch?" Jared's voice blared out, prompting Nicole to look up in surprise.

"Why are you here?!" "I was passing by, and it just so happens to be lunch hour, sol came up to have lunch with you," Jared said as he walked over with a lunchbox in his hand.

At that point, Nicole stopped working and sauntered over to the couch.

After taking a seat, Jared opened the lunch box, and the office was immediately filled with an aromatic scent.

Nicole could not help but smile when she saw that those were none other than her favorite dishes.

Smells amazing."

Chapter 2535

Chapter 2535 "Eat up, dear.” Jared said, his eyes brimming with affection.

"Okay, you too," Nicole replied as she reached out to scoop some food for Jared.

The couple then enjoyed their meal.

Perhaps it was because Jared was with her, or maybe it was because she had been busy all morning and was genuinely hungry, but whatever the case was, Nicole's appetite was voracious.

After she had eaten her fill, she leaned back against the couch, rubbing her belly in satisfaction.

Seeing her like that softened Jared's eyes.

"Do you have any other plans?" Nicole asked, looking at Jared.

"Nope." Jared raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Why do you ask?" "Nothing, I was just thinking...

If you're free, could you perhaps stay here with me?" Nicole beamed, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Jared stroked her hair softly as he replied, "Of course, I can." "Thank you," Nicole said sweetly, leaning directly into Jared's embrace.

Holding her, Jared glanced at a box on the office desk and asked, " Lawrence came here, didn't he?" "Yes, he did, and he even brought me a gift," Nicole replied, knowing that Jared had seen the box.

Then, she continued, "Lawrence came back, and just visited me." “And he told you he went to Crescent Island," Jared said, his eyes darkening.

"Kinda," Nicole shrugged, knowing how obvious Lawrence's intentions were.

Lowering his gaze to meet Nicole's, Jared asked, "Max has some updates.

It's likely that Everett has left the capital for this reason." "What reason?" Nicole frowned.

'Did Everett get into some trouble that made him seek refuge with Lawrence?' "Everett was the one who sent the doctor away.

After that, he kept the doctor under surveillance because he was probably afraid that the truth would come out.

The doctor probably felt he had no freedom and wanted to escape.

Everett might have had murderous intent, and when the doctor escaped, Everett realized that the truth would be revealed anyway, so he had no choice but to leave," Jared explained.

"I see." Nicole's eyes turned cold.

So, everything that had happened was orchestrated by Everett, who had later pinned the blame on Dillion.

Now that the truth had seen the light, he had fled San Joto almost immediately, unwilling to face the consequences.

"The doctor has confessed to everything.

Once he admits guilt, Max will take him to the police station," Jared informed, his gaze slightly grim.

“As for your grandfather, how do you plan to tell him?" Jared continued.

"T'll tell him the truth," Nicole said calmly.

There was no point in hiding the truth any longer.

It was better for her to let her grandfather know and be prepared.

Now, Everett might have fled, but he was definitely not going to settle for a life in exile.

As for Nicole, Jared patted her shoulders gently, trying to comfort her.

Nicole looked up at him and nodded, "Don't worry, I can handle it.

" Jared smiled when he saw how confident she was, and he lowered his head to plant a kiss on her lips.

Nicole was momentarily stunned as she was caught off guard.

Then, she blushed and glared at him.

Jared's eyes were filled with great amusement.

Then, he pressed Nicole against the couch and their passionate kiss began...

Soon, evening came, and the sun set in the west, casting a warm afterglow on the horizon.

After work, Nicole and Jared left DillCorp and were about to pick their kids up.
