Ch. 2566..2570: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2566-2570
Chapter 2566
Chapter 2566 "That's good." Martin sighed in relief before he went on to caution Nicole.
"I feel that Chloe is acting a bit strange.
Be careful.
" "Got it. Did she ask you to contact Ghost Hand for her?" Nicole asked.
"She did, but I don't know anything about it,'' Martin replied.
' Even if I did, I wouldn't want to help Chloe anyway.' "It's okay, don't worry about it," Nicole said, her voice calm like a cool, gentle stream of water.
She was Ghost Hand herself, and so long as she did not reveal it, no one would ever know.
As for Chloe, her willingness to help her would depend on how Chloe treated her; at the moment, it seemed that Chloe's sole focus was not on finding a doctor who would be able to heal her legs.
"Alright, I'll be at ease as long as you're aware of it." Martin's voice softened as he shifted the topic.
"How are the medicines I've prescribed for you?" "They're working fine.
Lately, I've been able to recall a few things, albeit unintentionally," Nicole replied truthfully.
This led Martin to stop and ponder for a moment.
"It seems that I won't need to tend to you much longer.
You should be able to regain your memories in no time." "I think so too." Nicole smiled in response.
She was no longer in such a hurry to regain her memories.
If anything, allowing the pieces to fall in place would not be a bad idea for her.
"In that case, let me congratulate you in advance," Martin said with a smile.
"Well, I've got to thank you, Martin.” Nicole said, expressing her genuine gratitude.
She had indeed received significant help from Martin ever since her return, and with his help, she could finally remember bits and pieces of her past.
"Don't mention it, Nicole.
Being able to help you is my honor,” Martin replied warmly.
"I consider us friends." "Yes, friends." Nicole smiled in agreement, for they were indeed friends.
After ending the call, Nicole turned to Patricia and said, "Keep an eye on Chloe." "Yes," Patricia responded in respectful fashion.
"She's still stirring the pot, even in her current condition." Lulu pouted, feeling annoyed.
With a look on her face indicative of indifference, Nicole shrugged.
"Perhaps she's just not satisfied with the medical expenses Grandpa has provided." Chloe's pursuit of medical treatment was none other than her own business.
Nicole would only intervene if she ever noted devious intent on her part.
"Alright, we've said everything that needs to be said.
I'll get back to work," Lulu stood up and left.
After that, Patricia joined in, saying, "I'll head out as well." A solemn look crossed Nicole's face as the two women exited her office.
Then, she grabbed the files on her desk.
As the sun set, the evening sky was painted in shades of orange.
Nicole was still in her office at that hour, and that was when her phone began ringing.
"Grandpa." Nicole immediately answered after noting the caller ID.
“Are you done with work, Nicole?" Mr. Riddle Sr. asked, his tone solemn.
Sensing that something was amiss, Nicole softly asked, "Is there something wrong, Grandpa?” Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed.
"Please come to the family manor when you have the time." "Okay, I'll come over right now," Nicole readily agreed.
After hanging up, Nicole left the office.
When she arrived at the first floor, she noticed that Jared was already there waiting for her.
"Grandpa wants me to head over to the family manor," Nicole informed as she got into the car.
Chapter 2567
Chapter 2567 "Drive," Jared ordered.
"Of course," Max replied and sent the engine running, whereupon they made their way to the Riddle family manor.
Upon arrival, Nicole and Jared entered the manor.
Their eyes narrowed a little when they saw the people present in the living room.
"Grandpa." Nicole greeted calmly as she walked over to the living area where the couches were.
There, Mr. Riddle Sr. shot Nicole and Jared a glance and said, " Please, have a seat." Once they were seated, Nicole centered her gaze at Dillion and Karen, who were disheveled and unrecognizable.
In fact, Nicole could barely recognize them, and it was evident that they had been in the trenches as of late.
"Dad, now that things have been cleared up, and it wasn't me who did it, can you at least take care of us?" Dillion looked at Nicole then back at his father.
He was feeling a little ashamed, but he had to speak up anyhow.
He had truly suffered enough being homeless, and if things continued this way, he might actually die out there.
Hearing his words, Nicole raised her brows and asked, "Uncle Dillion, didn't you sell the villa to stay in a hotel? How did things turn out like this?" Although she had phrased it as a question, Nicole actually knew everything that had happened: they had lost every source of income they had.
If they had sold their mansion, gotten jobs, and lived a normal life, they would not have ended up in the state they were in.
However, they had gotten a little too used to the lavish life and did not want to lose their pride, so they had quickly squandered all their money.
They had been on the streets for a while now, and it seemed to everyone that they had truly hit rock bottom.
In addition, they had recently learned that Everett was the true culprit, and that meant that they were proven innocent.
With that in mind, they had crawled all the way back to seek refuge with Mr. Riddle.
Sr. Hearing Nicole's question, Dillion and Karen's faces turned pale.
Still, they did not dare to say anything at this moment.
They genuinely feared for themselves, and did not want to return to being homeless.
Otherwise, they might actually die out there.
With a deep breath, Dillion could only grit his teeth and say, "Hear me out.
We made a mistake in the past, but we promise that we will change and make things right in the future." After he had spoken, he looked at Mr. Riddle Sr. again and pledged, "Dad, we'll stay at home and not get involved in anything in the foreseeable future.
We'll just keep you company." "Yes, Dad.
You're getting older, and you need companionship and care.
Dillion and I will stay by your side to accompany and take care of you," Karen chimed in immediately.
"You wish to stay here?" Mr. Riddle Sr. raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes, we are not asking for anything else.
Just being able to stay with you is enough." Dillon nodded vigorously, truly at his wits' end now.
It would be good enough for them if they could live in safety and relative comfort.
That was all they could all for at this juncture.
Now that DillCorp was gone, he would no longer be able to get it back.
Fortunately, Nicole had set a tech company up for Preston, which was their lifeline.
Snow was still in a vegetative state, but Preston had arranged for her care, so they did not have to worry about her.
As for Raine...
There had been no news of her for the longest time, and they could not afford to worry about her anymore.
At the very least, there had not been any bad news about her, so she should be fine, at least to them.
After some thought, they had decided that this was the best outcome for them.
As long as Mr. Riddle Sr. agreed, they would no longer have to sleep under bridges or scavenge for food.
Going hungry or even resorting to digging through garbage cans like feral raccoons again was the last thing they ever wanted to do again.
With their pleas laid out, Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole as if asking for her opinion.
"Grandpa, it's your decision," Nicole said with a smile, as she had no objections whatsoever.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Mr. Riddle Sr. solemnly said, "Very well.
You can stay.
However, I'm only providing you with a roof over your heads and food.
I won't cover any other expenses.
If necessary, you can go to the butler.
He knows what should be provided and what should not be."
Chapter 2568
Chapter 2568 In short, the Riddle family would provide them with food and shelter, but nothing more.
Hearing that, Dillion and Karen expressed their gratitude at once, promising, "Thank you, Dad.
We will stay at home and take care of you." "Say what you mean and mean what you say.
If you can't do that, don't ever come back," Mr. Riddle Sr. warned sternly.
"Dad, rest assured, we won't break our promise," Dillion firmly assured.
They were genuinely afraid and did not want to return to a life of homelessness and scavenging for food.
Mr. Riddle Sr. then turned to the butler and said, 'Have someone take them downstairs to freshen up and prepare a room for them." "Yes," the butler replied.
"Thank you, Dad." Dillion and Karen said, after which they followed the butler downstairs.
"Nicole, don't you have anything to say?" Mr. Riddle Sr. hesitated for a moment before asking.
With a gentle smile, Nicole replied, "They have suffered enough, and the past is the past.
Besides, they didn't commit the crimes of which they were accused.
For Preston's sake, it's reasonable to give them a chance." Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed.
What they did, even though they didn't tamper with the medicine, is unforgivable.
But seeing them in such a pitiful state..." He could not help but sympathize with them.
If they were truly repentant and well-behaved, he could accommodate them, but he would only provide for their basic needs.
He would not be responsible for anything beyond that.
If they behaved, they would not have to worry about food and shelter anymore.
If not, this would be their last chance, and there would be no forgiveness if they made the same mistakes in the future.
"Grandpa, it's good to have them here to keep you company.
After all, staying here all by yourself can get lonely," Nicole comforted.
That was one of the reasons she had agreed to let them stay too.
It would be ideal if they could look after Mr. Riddle Sr. After all, Nicole and her family did not have much time to visit him.
"Rest assured, Dad, we will stay here and take care of you.
We won't go anywhere else," Dillon and Karen said as they came in after taking a shower and changing into clean sets of clothes.
They looked much cleaner now, and the arrogant and hostile attitude they once carried themselves with had seemingly disappeared, replaced by a more amiable demeanor.
"That's good to hear, Uncle Dillion, Aunt Karen.
I believe Preston will be pleased," Nicole said with a meaningful smile.
Dillon's smile stiffened for a moment, but he quickly replied, " Yes, we hope he can forgive us." From the looks of it now, their son was the only one they could rely on in the future.
“Grandfather, we'll take our leave now," Nicole said, sensing that Dillion knew what she was trying to say.
Mr. Riddle Sr. shot a glance at Dillon and Karen before he said, " Very well, goodbye." Soon after, Nicole and Jared got into their car and left the family manor.
Nicole leaned back against her seat and breathed a sigh of relief.
She believed that Dillion understood what she had said.
If he still cared about his son, he would definitely behave himself.
After all, they had endured so much hardship, and if they could not learn to behave now, there would be no hope for them anymore.
Chapter 2569
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2569-Jared gently placed his hand on Nicole’s shoulder before he drew her in for a light embrace. “The butler will keep an eye
on them.”
Although Mr. Riddle Sr. had taken them in and Nicole had warned them, an observation period was still necessary.
Nicole then looked up at Jared and nodded with a slight smile. “Yeah.”
She was not overly concerned, as she believed her grandfather would not throw his rationality to the wind over this matter.
She would also keep an eye on them to see if they were truly trustworthy or not.
After a while, the two returned to the Riddle residence, where the family had just eaten their dinner.
Surprised to see them back so soon, they asked, “Weren’t you at the family manor?”
‘Why are they back at this hour? Did they not have dinner there?’
“We stayed for a while and then came back,” Nicole replied, noticing that the housekeepers were already clearing the
table. “Please prepare dinner for both of us.”
“Please wait a moment, Miss,” the housekeeper replied and hurried off to prepare dinner for Nicole and Jared.
Curious, Daniel asked, “Why did you come back from your grandfather’s place without having dinner?”
Nicole then went on to explain the circumstances revolving around Dillion and Karen. Before long, dinner arrived, and
Nicole and Jared began eating.
Daniel and Gloria sat on the living room sofa, looking somewhat sorrowful. ”1 can’t believe Dillion and Karen turned out
this way.”
“They’ve been leading a carefree life, and the fact that they’ve held out until now is quite surprising,” Gloria said, shaking
her head.
Knowing them, they should have given up a long time ago.
“It’s probably because the truth about Dad’s medicine has come to light,” Daniel guessed.
After all, even if they had returned earlier, nobody would have paid any attention to them. Now that it had been confirmed
that they were not responsible for the incident, they could safely seek refuge with their father.
“Let’s hope they’ve learned their lesson this time,” Gloria sighed.
“I hope so too,” Daniel said with a heavy heart, unsure of how long they could hold on.
“Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?” Samuel asked, entering the room just to notice Daniel and Gloria looking
somewhat crestfallen. Did something happen?’
“It’s nothing serious. It’s just that your Uncle Dillon and Aunt Karen are in a difficult situation now and have returned to
the family manor,” Daniel briefly explained.
After mentioning it, he swiftly changed the subject. “You’re back late. Where’s Spencer?”
“I don’t know. I think he’s staying at Lulu Barrera’s place and not coming back,” Samuel replied, hazarding a guess.
Frowning at the remark she had received, Gloria scolded,” Call her your sis-in-law!”
‘How could he still call her by her full name?’ she thought.
“Hey, Spencer is only two or three minutes older than me, and we’ve been hanging out with each other very often for the
past few years. We’re used to it. Calling her ‘sis-in-law’ feels really awkward.” Samuel shrugged, defending his stance.
In response, Gloria rolled her eyes at Samuel. “Well, Spencer is still your older brother, and you’re still the younger one.”
“Mom, we’re twins. There’s no need to be so particular about it.” Samuel scratched his head.
After all, they were going to be one big family, and there was really no need to adopt such formalities with one another.
After shaking her head, Gloria shifted the conversation.” Your wedding is coming up. For the next few days, I’d like you to
take June and Lulu to review all the arrangements. Well have guests from all over San Joto, including friends, business
associates, and dignitaries. We can’t afford any mistakes.”
“Got it, Mom. I’ll bring them along,” Samuel replied.
After the bunch had discussed the minutes of the wedding, Nicole and Jared emptied their plates and joined them in the
living room.
“Is Uncle Dillion planning something?” Samuel asked Nicole.
“If you saw how miserable they looked, you wouldn’t suspect anything.” Nicole shrugged.
She believed that the level of misery they had displayed was not something they could easily fake
Chapter 2570
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2570-Relieved, Samuel remarked, “That’s good.
“It’s getting late. Let’s all head upstairs and get some sleep,” Daniel advised everyone.
Gloria then looked at Nicole and said, “Nolan and Lana have already gone to their rooms. Why don’t you go check on
them?”
“Alright,” Nicole agreed, after which she and Jared headed upstairs.
In Nolan’s room, the two kids were in the middle of a discussion, but the instant they saw Nicole and Jared entering, they
immediately fell silent and rushed toward them, exclaiming, “Mommy, Daddy, you’re back!”
Holding Lana, Jared’s gaze softened as he asked, “What were you two up to just now?”
Lana could not come up with a lie as she met her father’s eyes, so she pouted and said, Daddy, it’s a secret. Can you not
ask?”
She could not tell Jared, but she did not want to lie to him either. Therefore, the best option, at least for her, was to request
her father to not ask her about it.
Jared could not help but smile when he saw her being caught in such a dilemma. “Alright, I won’t ask.”
“Thank you, Daddy.” Lana beamed as she wrapped her arms around Jared’s neck. “Daddy, I want to go to sleep now.”
“Okay, go to sleep,” Jared said as he carried Lana out of Nolan’s room.
Nicole, who was still around, shot a glance at Nolan.
She could already guess what the two kids had been up to earlier, but instead of exposing them, she just asked, “Did you
not carry out any missions today?”
“Nope.” Nolan shook his head. “Lately, it’s been unusually quiet on the Hunters. It feels a bit strange.”
“It has indeed become rather quiet,” Nicole said with a hint of concern, for such unexpected calmness had given her an
uneasy feeling too.
“Mommy, do you think someone might be planning something big?” Nolan speculated, tilting his head.
Nicole bit her lip slightly and ruffled Nolan’s hair. “If that’s the case, you should stay off the internet for a while.”
After all, Nolan was still a child, and even though he was pretty skilled, he might not be able to bite off more than he could
chew, especially in the case of unforeseen circumstances. Besides, he would not be able to fully comprehend the
complexities of the adult world.
“Okay, Mommy,” Nolan obediently agreed.
He knew that his mother would never outright forbid him from doing something. In fact, Nicole would always help him plan
and decide. However, this was the first time Nicole had given him such a serious warning.
“Go to bed now,” Nicole said with a gentle smile.
Hearing that, Nolan took his pajamas to the bathroom and laid down on his bed after he had taken a shower.
Nicole went over to tuck him in and sat next to him to keep him company for a bit. Then, they spoke about the things that
happened in school. Deep down, Nicole really wanted Nolan to live his earlier years as a normal child.
After Nolan had drifted off to sleep, Nicole and Jared returned to their own room.
There, she sat next to her bed and turned her computer on, before switching to a different interface and logging in to the
Hunter.
“What’s going on?” Jared softly asked upon noticing Nicole’s furrowed brows.
“The Hunter has been in a strange state recently, and even Nolan has noticed it. The situation might be more complicated
than I thought,” Nicole replied while her fingers darted across the keyboard.
“Leave this to Preston and the Finley brothers,” Jared suggested.
He could see how exhausted she had been as of late, and he did not want her to worry about anything else.
