Ch. 2556..2560: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2556-2560

Chapter 2556 Nicole furrowed her eyebrows.

'I thought Stanley had genuine feelings for Tia, but he agreed to go on blind dates.

Could it be that we all misunderstood his intentions before?" Jared caressed Nicole's hair gently.

"Don't think too much.

He's not a child anymore.

He can think for himself." Nicole nodded, immediately understanding what Jared meant.

No matter how much effort anyone put in, the final decision had to be made by Stanley himself.

When Nicole and Jared reached their room, Nicole massaged her shoulders, looking completely haggard.

Jared sat next to her with a concerned expression.

"Has work been too hectic for you recently?" ‘She looks so burnt out.

Could it be the workload that's affecting her?’ thought Jared.

"It's okay," said Nicole.

She bit her lip hard trying not to show how stressful work was for her.

Jared gave her a massage, trying to help her unwind.

"Come, let's sleep," said Jared with concern in his voice.

Eyes half closed, Nicole agreed.

Jared looked over at Nicole and noticed she was already fast asleep.

He glanced at her, feeling troubled at how helpless he was in the situation.

He tucked the blanket over Nicole.

The next day, the sun was shining, and the Riddle family was already up.

Nicole and Jared were preparing to send the twins off to kindergarten but were unexpectedly warded off.

They insisted on having Tia send them instead.

Nicole furrowed her eyebrows, staring at the twins blankly.

She noticed the twins were avoiding eye contact with her.

Immediately she knew that they were up to no good.

"Okay," Jared agreed.

He turned to Albert and asked him to get Tia.

After a while, Tia appeared with a confused expression.

"Mr.

Johnston, what can I do for you?" "The twins want you to send them to kindergarten today.

What do you say?" asked Jared quietly.

Tia was taken aback.

"Me?!" "Aunt Tia, we like how you always send us and pick us up at kindergarten! Can you send us?" Lana persuaded cutely, taking Tia's hands into hers.

Tia looked at Lana and agreed.

"Of course I'm willing to but..." She paused and looked at Nicole, unsure of why Nicole and Jared would suddenly ask her for a favor.

"If you want to, we'll give you some overtime pay," said Jared.

"No, no, it's okay," Tia refused, shaking her head.

She loved the twins.

She would not mind this.

"I know you really want to help out and giving you some overtime pay is really no issue.

So you have to accept it, no matter what," said Nicole with a smile.

"Come on.

Let's go," Lana interrupted as she pulled Tia toward the door.

Tia followed behind the twins.

'I'll talk to Ms.

Nicole later,’ she thought to herself.

After the twins had left, Nicole turned around and looked at Jared with raised eyebrows.

"Are you helping them?" "Yeah," Jared said coolly.

He intertwined their hands together, walking out the front door and into the car.

 

Chapter 2557 Jared had also seen right through the twins’ intentions, but he also considered Nicole his main priority.

The sooner Nicole can get this task out of the way, the easier it would be for Nicole to be at ease.

The car engine revved.

“Have Patricia go over to Riddle Corporation from now on," Jared ordered.

"Yes, sir," replied Max.

Nicole was taken aback.

"Why did you arrange someone to help me?" "Ma'am, she's different from others.

Mr.Johnston trusts her very much," Max explained.

"I know.

She's just like Janus," Nicole grumbled.

The name suddenly burst out from her mouth without thinking.

She could not recall how she knew the name.

‘I can't recall if I've ever met a person with this name, ever since I have returned,' thought Nicole.

"Ma'am!" Max exclaimed, startling Nicole.

'She remembers Janus! Everyone was saddened by Janus' death, and no one dared mention it ever since.

She remembered him without anyone bringing it up.

Does that mean...

she's regaining her memories?" Nicole nodded.

"I can't recall much but I have some minor improvements." She had regained very vague memories.

However, the name Janus was very clear in her mind.

“Let Patricia follow you.

You can leave anything to her.

Don't overexert yourself too much at work," said Jared.

Nicole raised her eyebrow, looking at Jared and immediately understanding what he meant.

'So he thinks I must've been overworking myself and arranged someone to help me out.

He knew that it would be confidential work, so he sent a person he trusts.

‘Now that I think about it, he's acting a bit funny.

He doesn't usually meddle with the affairs of others and help the twins get away with their childish plans.

I thought it was because of the twins that he did that, but it turns out it was because of me,' thought Nicole to herself.

Nicole's heart fluttered from Jared's subtle actions.

She leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "Thank you." Jared brought Nicole into a hug, planting a kiss on her forehead.

Soon enough, the car came to a halt in front of Riddle Corporation.

Nicole looked into Jared's eyes before giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"T'll see you later!" A grin appeared on Jared's face.

He watched as Nicole climbed out of the car.

"I'll fetch you after work." "Okay," Nicole agreed, grinning as she walked into the building.

Jared waited until Nicole safely entered the building before turning around to look at Max.

"Let's go." "Yes, Mr.

Johnston." Max revved up the car engine and drove away.

As soon as Nicole walked into her office, her secretary immediately rushed up to her and handed her a pile of documents.

"Ms.

Riddle, these are the documents you need for today." "Okay, place them on my table," Nicole ordered.

Her secretary placed the documents down and left her office.

Nicole took her documents in her hands.

She went through all the proposals, plans, and reports, one after another.

After a while, her eyes began to feel heavy and drowsy.

‘Why am I getting so tired so easily recently?' Nicole thought to herself.

Aknock on the door broke her from her thoughts.

She quickly perked up and looked at the door.

"Come in." A young woman walked in with graceful steps.

"You're Patricia," Nicole guessed as she looked at the young woman standing before her.

Chapter 2558 "Ms. Riddle," Patricia greeted politely.

"There's no need for you to be so formal with me.

Since you'll be working with me from now on, it'll be more casual," said Nicole.

She pointed to the pile of documents on her desk.

“Are these doable for you?" asked Nicole.

Patricia nodded.

"Yeah." Nicole quickly filtered out the documents and workload for Patricia before handing it over to her.

"Great.

This is for you." "Thank you," Patricia said as she took the documents in her hand and started going through it by Nicole's desk.

Nicole pointed to the coffee table in her office.

"You can go and sit over there to work.

I'm glad you're here.

Lulu's going to be on leave soon for her wedding and honeymoon.

I really needed the extra hand." ‘With Patricia here, my workload will surely be lighter,' she thought to herself.

"Ms. Riddle, if there's anything you need me to do, you can leave it to me,” said Patricia.

Nicole chuckled and smiled.

"If you keep acting like this, I'll think you're a robot.

Please loosen up or I'l] have the impression that you're being compelled to do this." "No, I really want to do this well," Patricia explained, with a trace of nervousness across her face.

Nicole smiled.

"Well that's great.

As for the rest, you can slowly take it on, one at a time." ‘Maybe she's too nervous being here for the first time.

I'm sure that over time, we'll get to know each other better and she'll be more comfortable,’ thought Nicole.

The office became quiet once more.

With Patricia helping Nicole out, the speed of Nicole's workload was like never before.

The drowsiness Nicole had felt earlier completely disappeared since Patricia came.

Time went by in a blink of an eye, and soon it was already lunch time.

"I don't feel like going out to eat lunch today.

Shall we get food delivered?" "Okay.

i "It's just for us two," Nicole added.

Patricia was stunned for a moment before relaxing her expression.

Yes, Ms. Riddle." Patricia ordered their lunch and waited downstairs for the food to arrive.

When it did, she brought the food into the office.

"Ms. Riddle, let's eat." "Together," said Nicole, continuing Patricia's sentence.

She handed a pair of chopsticks to Patricia, motioning for her to sit with her and eat.

"You can shadow me from now on.

I trust you and naturally, I'll rely on you for many things, and I hope that it goes both ways," said Nicole, her face seriousness.

Nicole knew that Patricia would fulfill her requests, not only because of Jared's orders but she hoped that Patricia would trust Nicole.

She wanted to gain the trust of Patricia and to wholly accept her.

Patricia cautiously picked up her fork and looked up at Nicole.

" Ms.

Riddle, don't worry.

I understand where you're coming from." Patricia had no complaints when she had received the order from Jared.

Now it felt completely different.

She felt that it was no longer just a job, though she had only been here for a few hours.

Patricia could feel that Nicole was genuinely being earnest.

She felt like she wasn't here because of Jared's orders, from the way Nicole had treated her.

Nicole had a satisfied expression on her face.

In a soft voice, she said, "Come sit down and eat." "Okay." Patricia sat down and ate alongside Nicole.

Her heart was fuzzy with warmth by the actions of Nicole.

It was not long after that the sun started to set.

Nicole walked out of the front door of Riddle Corporation and was met with Lawrence.

"Leo, what are you doing here?" asked Nicole, confused.

"I wanted to pick up the twins from kindergarten with you," Lawrence said with a smile.

“Oh, they don't need me to pick them up anymore.

We've got Tia to pick them up," Nicole said apologetically.

"I didn't expect that you'd be here, so I didn't inform you about it beforehand," added Nicole.

Chapter 2559 "It's okay." Lawrence did not show any disappointment.

He just glanced at Nicole and said, "Since that's the case, how about having dinner together?" "No need to trouble yourself.

Mr. Johnston is on his way to pick up his wife now," Patricia said.

She stood by Nicole's side with a cold and indifferent expression.

Lawrence glanced at Patricia with dark eyes.

He had a strong feeling that Patricia was not someone to be messed with.

Patricia's presence, next to Nicole, was nonexistent when she remained silent earlier.

But it was the complete opposite when she started speaking.

"This is..." Lawrence pretended to be somewhat puzzled.

"My assistant." Nicole kept it vague.

Lawrence's gaze darkened.

"Isn't Lulu your assistant?" "Lulu has been busy lately, and she's going on her honeymoon soon, so I hired a new one," Nicole explained with a smile, coming up with a convincing reason.

Hearing this, Lawrence did not press further and simply smiled.

" Well, too bad then." "Let's do it another time." Nicole was pretty tired too, so she did not want to have lunch with him.

"Sure, I'll see you next time.'' Lawrence did not persist.

Nicole saw Jared's car driving in, so she said, "I'll be leaving now." “Bye, " Lawrence replied, watching Nicole board the car and leave.

Once she was gone, Lawrence's expression turned cold and ruthless.

Lawrence got back into the car, and Ian asked, "Mr. Lawrence, is everything all right?" "Find out who the lady next to Nicole is," Lawrence ordered in a cold tone.

"Understood," Ian promptly agreed before asking, "Is there something wrong with her?" "I'm not sure, but something doesn't seem right," Lawrence replied.

Even though Nicole had explained that Patricia was her new assistant, the woman's aura was far from what an ordinary assistant would possess.

“Why would there be such a person around Miss Nicole?" Ian muttered as he found it strange.

Lawrence glanced at Ian and said, "You can investigate the people working under Jared." "Mr. Lawrence, are you saying that..." Ian did not finish his sentence as he thought to himself, 'Did Jared send her?" Although Lawrence did not say it, his message was quite clear.

Ian knew that there were not many people who could work around Jared, yet that woman was one of his people.

Even though she was working under Nicole, she probably was not capable enough to be around Jared.

"Got it," Ian responded seriously.

If this person had been arranged by Jared to be around Nicole, there was only one possibility—to protect her.

But did Nicole need someone to protect her? Something must have happened, or...

Lawrence's eyes turned dark as he looked out of the car window, deep in thought.

Meanwhile, in Jared's car, Patricia was sitting in the passenger seat.

Her voice low as she said, "I've taken care of my identity, so they won't find anything." "From now on, unless there are special circumstances, just go to and from work normally." Nicole looked at Patricia.

Since Patricia was using an ordinary identity, she should not show that she had a special status.

"Okay," Patricia replied respectfully.

After a while, they arrived back at the Riddle residence.

Nicole and Jared entered the house, while Max and Patricia left.

In the living room, Nicole noticed that Nolan and Lana had not returned yet and casually asked, "Are Nolan and Lana not home yet?"

 

Chapter 2560 “Not yet." Gloria glanced at the time and said, "They should be back soon." "Okay." Nicole and Jared sat down, waiting for the children to return.

Meanwhile, Tia had picked up Nolan and Lana, and they were already on their way home.

In the car, Lana leaned against Tia and looked at her with innocent eyes.

"Aunt Tia, do you know that Uncle Samuel is going on a blind date?" Tia's expression froze for a moment before she replied, "I heard." "It's great, right? Mr. Samuel should indeed find a girlfriend." Lana paused for a moment before adding.

Lana could not help but sigh inwardly.

'Why did it seem like Aunt Tia didn't really care? Could we have misunderstood something?’ She turned to look at Nolan and whispered, "Nolan, could we be mistaken?" “Whether we're mistaken or not, we'll find out later," Nolan insisted.

Since they had already made up their minds, they had to know the final result to avoid any regrets.

"Okay." Lana nodded in agreement.

“Aunt Tia, do you have time this weekend?" Nolan asked.

“This weekend?" Tia thought for a moment.

"Is that in two days? T should be free." Seizing the opportunity, Lana .

hugged Tia's arm and said, "Then, Aunt Tia, can you accompany us for some shopping?" "Shopping?" Tia looked puzzled.

"If you want to go, Miss Nicole will take you." ‘Why do these two kids want me to accompany them shopping?" "But we want you to come with us," Lana said, swaying Tia's arm gently.

"Please, Aunt Tia, if you're not busy, can you accompany us?" "Well..." Tia hesitated but ultimately could not bear to disappoint the two little ones.

She agreed, "I'll ask Miss Nicole when I get back." “Okay, Aunt Tia, you promised!" Lana happily exclaimed, thinking that it should be easy to convince Nicole.

Nolan's eyebrows raised slightly, and then he gave Lana an imperceptible nod.

They arrived back home after a while.

Upon entering the living room, Lana ran toward Nicole, her short legs moving quickly.

She jumped into Nicole's arms and said, " Mommy, I want to go shopping this weekend.

Can Aunt Tia come with us?" “You want to go shopping?" Nicole was somewhat surprised.

If they had said they wanted to go to an amusement park, she would have believed it.

But why did they suddenly want to go shopping? "Yes, Nolan and I want to go, and we want Aunt Tia to come with us,'' Lana said, her small head held high, looking very serious.

"We already asked, and Aunt Tia said she's free," Nolan added.

Nicole's eyes narrowed slightly.

At first, she was simply surprised, but now, looking at the children's expressions, she seemed to have a better understanding of the situation.

'Stanley's is going on a blind date this weekend, isn't he?' "Do you want to go?" Nicole looked at Tia.

"I'm fine with it," Tia agreed.

If Nicole allowed her, she did not mind accompanying the two children.

Nicole readily agreed.

"Alright, then we'll go together." “Thank you, Mommy!" Lana could not help but cheer.

She even raised her chin triumphantly at Nolan.

"Miss Nicole, I'll be heading over to the backyard now." Tia's task was completed, so she was ready to leave.
