Ch. 2586..2590: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2586-2590

Chapter 2586

Chapter 2586 Nicole felt a little more at ease after the call had ended.

Although the wedding had not gone as planned, she was glad that Lulu and June's mood was not affected.

Meanwhile, Lulu had called June.

"You finally called.

Did you travel to a faraway land or something? " June's voice came through as soon as the call connected.

"Yes, we just settled in.

I called Nicole earlier," Lulu replied candidly.

"How are things at home?" June immediately asked upon hearing that Lulu had called Nicole.

Lulu sighed before responding, "Raine is dead." "Dead...'' June trailed off, struck by a brief moment of shock before she quickly composed herself.

"It's impossible to survive falling from such a height." Even if she did not die, she would likely have ended up crippled.

However, Raine was, as one could argue, unlucky, and had fallen to her death on the spot.

"She asked for it," Lulu coldly huffed.

"If she hadn't been such an evil freak, she wouldn't have ended up pushing daisies." “Alright, now that it's come to this, let's not bring this up ever again.

Thinking about her just makes me annoyed," June said.

' Raine had ruined our wedding.’ Fortunately, the ceremony was over, or she and Lulu would have been in an even more awkward situation now.

"Yeah, Nicole told us to enjoy our honeymoon without any worries.

Let's not think about anything else," Lulu reassured June.

"Okay.

I have faith that they will handle it well," June comforted Lulu.

"You don't have to let it live rent free in your head." For an incident of such significance, the Riddle family would surely handle it perfectly.

Moreover, the main culprit was already dead, so the case could be considered closed.

“Okay,” Lulu nodded in agreement.

After exchanging goodbyes, the two of them hung up.

Then, Lulu placed her phone away and sighed.

“Don't sigh.

Today is our wedding night, and you sighing like this just makes me feel like I've messed it up for you,"' Spencer comforted with a hint of playfulness.

He had come over, his gaze soft as he looked at Lulu.

"] just can't help but feel a little shocked, but...

Never mind, I'm not going to think about it anymore," Lulu said, smiling at Spencer.

"How did you even screw it up for me? Let's stay this way forever, okay?" In return, Spencer affectionately rubbed Lulu's head.

"Of course." "Honey, let's get out there and look at the moon," Lulu said as she gazed off at the beautiful moon outside, and grabbed Spencer's hand.

"Sure," Spencer agreed softly.

The two of them held hands as they exited the house.

Their villa was very close to the beach, and before long, they reached the sandy shore.

The moonlight and the sea merged into one as they ambled along the soft sand, listening to the sea breeze and the crashing of the waves.

Then and there, Lulu's eyes brimmed with bliss.

"Spencer, this place is so beautiful," Lulu exclaimed with excitement.

Looking down at her, Spencer smiled, and he replied, "You're even more beautiful." Hearing those words from Spencer stunned Lulu momentarily, her cheeks flushing red with shyness.

Without saying another word, Spencer gently embraced Lulu and gradually leaned in for a kiss on her lips...

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two days had gone by.

The results of the police investigation had been released, and Raine's incident was ruled as an accident.

With the case closed, no one mentioned it again.

Chapter 2587

Chapter 2587 Everything seemed to have returned to normal, and everyone had gone back to their respective lives, becoming busy once again.

The two newlywed couples were still on their honeymoons, and everyone else had reached a unanimous, unspoken agreement to not disturb them.

Life appeared to have returned to its usual course, Upon hearing a knock on the door, Nicole placed the documents in her hand down and looked up at the door.

"Come in." Patricia entered, wearing a somewhat solemn look on her face.

" Miss Nicole, an urgent fax from Ellar." “What happened to him?" Nicole furrowed her brow as she reached out to grab the fax.

After reading the contents, a grimace crossed her face.

"How could this happen?" "It's likely that someone has tampered with it secretly," Patricia speculated.

Nicole squinted as a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, and that was when she ordered, "Investigate this.” "Yes," Patricia responded before leaving the room.

Nicole's gaze was dark as she perused the details.

Ellar did not fax over a mere document; it was an investigation report.

It was about a project that BayCorp was currently handling, which had reached the inspection phase, but were marred with issues now.

Though BayCorp was the most challenging company under the Riddle Corporation to manage, Ellar had been gradually bringing it back on track.

Besides, Nicole knew fairly well about these projects, and Ellar would never allow any major problems to occur during the inspection phase, as BayCorp could not afford the consequenices.

Now that such an issue had arisen, Nicole began to suspect that someone was overtly targeting BayCorp.

She tightened her grip around the document as she bit her lip slightly.

'Who could it be, and what had actually happened?' Just as she was lost in thought, her phone rang.

Glancing at it, she saw that it was Ellar and proceeded to answer the call.

"Nicole, have you read my fax? Can you figure out what went wrong?" Ellar asked, his voice carrying a hint of urgency and anxiety.

He had busted his ass to bring BayCorp to its current state of recovery and improvement.

If something went wrong now, all of his efforts would be in vain, and the company might suffer severe consequences on top of that.

"T've already gotten Patricia to investigate this.

Don't worry.

She'll come back with updates for us soon," Nicole reassured Ellar.

“Why is this happening? I've been extremely cautious." Ellar said, feeling somewhat remorseful and even a little disheartened.

‘Or am I just not capable enough?’ Frowning, Nicole gave him a firm reminder, "It's possible that someone has secretly tampered with your stuff.

Let's wait for Patricia's findings." "Someone..." Ellar paused after uttering the first word, shocked.

" Who would target us?! We're not some massive, multi-billion dollar corporation.

The projects we take on are the ones that larger companies don't even consider!" ‘Seriously? BayCorp? Out of all the other companies?' Ellar wondered.

"Perhaps they think you're growing stronger, so they're trying to eliminate a potential competitor before you become a force to be reckoned with," Nicole teased.

“In that case, I'll take it as a good sign," Ellar responded in a more lighthearted tone.

"You should take care of other matters for now.

I'll inform you when Patricia returns," Nicole said, relieved.

With that, Ellar agreed, “Okay.

Thank you, Nicole." After hanging up, Nicole's gaze returned to the fax.

She could not help but recall Ellar's words.

Their company was relatively small, and it did seem very strange that someone would target them.

For some reason, her mind suspicions settled on this particular individual at once — Harvey.

It seemed that Harvey had always harbored devious intent for several of the branches of Riddle Corporation.

Now that DillCorp and NandoCorp had returned to Riddle Corporation, BayCorp was the only one that had been left undisturbed.

 

Chapter 2588 Nicole's eyes turned cold.

Even though Patricia had not returned yet, Nicole already had a clear idea of what was going on.

‘Harvey, you really like giving me crap, don't you? You must be pretty bored with your life...' Nicole thought.

When Patricia returned, she confirmed Nicole's suspicions.

Harvey had indeed tampered with the project, causing problems for BayCorp during its inspection phase.

“What should we do, Miss Riddle?" Patricia asked in a hushed voice.

In reply, Nicole snorted.

"Harvey has way too much free time." It was time to give Harvey something to get busy with, and in doing so, prevent him from constantly meddling in the affairs of the Riddle family.

“What's your plan, Miss Nicole?" Patricia asked, curious about how Nicole intended to handle the situation.

It was clear that Nicole was preparing to retaliate instead of taking the abuse lying down.

With that in mind, Nicole stood up and said, "Let's head back to HQ first." "Alright," Patricia replied, following Nicole as they left DillCorp.

Both Sean and Steve were surprised when they saw Nicole.

''Why are you back? Is something wrong?" "We have a situation," Nicole said.

"Harvey has too much free time in his hands.

I think we should find something for him to do." Sean and Steve were initially taken aback, but it did not take long for them to agree, "What do you have in mind?" As long as Nicole wanted something done, they would support her wholeheartedly.

Then, Nicole squinted and continued, "I remember that the Ellison family owns an electronic raw materials factory.

Why don't we give him a taste of his own medicine?" Sean and Steve exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

"Got it.

We'll handle it." Such raw materials were subject to strict requirements and scrutiny, for the materials being produced were used in assembling components.

Any slight deviation could lead to problems even in the final product.

“If possible, let's consider acquiring that factory," Nicole suggested.

“Alright, leave it to us,'' Sean and Steve responded before leaving to make the necessary arrangements.

Nicole then returned to her office, and Patricia followed her in.

Sitting down, Nicole made a phone call to Ellar.

"Don't worry about this.

Delay the inspection, and I'll let you know when you can proceed." Nodding, Ellar asked, "Did you find out what happened?" "This issue might turn out to be a fault of mine, but I'll handle it," Nicole reassured

him.

Without providing the details to Ellar, she simply told him, "It will be resolved soon, and you won't be affected.

Don't worry." “I know, and I'm fine.

You've been of great help to me, so don't say it's your fault.

If you need anything, you can call me anytime," Ellar replied, knowing that Nicole had her reasons for not disclosing more.

"Sure,'' Nicole smiled and agreed before hanging up.

After doing so, she looked at Patricia and said, "Arrange for someone to inspect and examine BayCorp's project.

As for the rest, let my elder brothers take care of it." "Got it," Patricia replied.

Nicole glanced at the time and let out a sigh.

"Miss Riddle, is there something on your mind?" Patricia asked softly, sensing that Nicole's mood was somewhat off.

"Go order some lunch.

We're paying a visit to Royal Creek Institute," Nicole said, wanting to check on Thomas to see how he had been doing lately.

Chapter 2589 "Understood." Patricia replied, and hurried off to make a reservation.

After she had gotten Royal Creek Institute's address, she left the office with Nicole and headed there.

Arriving at Royal Creek Institute, Nicole entered Thomas's house while Patricia waited outside.

Looking at Nicole as she entered, Thomas Ellison smiled.

"I knew it was you.” Seeing that their lunch had arrived, Nicole smiled, "I missed you, so I came over to pay you a visit." Thomas made his way to the living room, looked at Nicole and said, "You don't have to lie to me.

Harvey made another mess for you to deal with again, didn't he?" Nicole was quite shocked, "How did you know?" Thomas had been resting and recovering as of late.

Although he did seem a tad more energetic, Nicole was sure that Thomas had not gone back to work just yet.

Therefore, it would be next to impossible for him to be privy to the happenings of the outside world.

"The nurse has left." Thomas shook his head.

He was not bothered about the nurse's absence as he assumed that Harvey had found it pointless to get someone to keep an eye on him.

Afterall, Nicole rarely paid him visits these days.

But seeing Nicole appear again today, Thomas immediately understood the reason as to why Harvey had fired the nurse.

He had created more issues for Nicole to deal with, so there was no need for anyone to spy on Thomas any longer.

His whistleblowers would also no longer serve any purposes.

"Let's eat." Thomas invited Nicole for lunch, knowing that he would not be able to explain the situation in a short span of a few minutes.

"Alright." Nicole replied and sat down with Thomas, whereupon they began to dig into their lunch.

“What problems are Harvey giving you again?" Thomas casually enquired.

He was simply asking about it as he could not be of any help to her.

Harvey would not listen to him, and he had no means of assisting Nicole.

"It's nothing major.

You've also said it yourself; it is a problem." And so long as it remained a problem, it would be easy to solve.

Nicole was genuinely there just to check up on Thomas.

At the same time, she had done so because of Harvey as well.

Nicole would only be able to be at ease when, and only when she knew that Thomas was safe.

Thomas then looked at Nicole and sighed.

"It seems that Harvey will run into problems of his own too." Thomas knew Nicole very well, and it was obvious that Nicole was ready to take an eye for an eye.

Raising a brow, Nicole jokingly asked, "In that case, will you feel hurt or stop me from doing it?" "I won't." Thomas replied, having neither the reason nor energy to stop her.

"Everything's fine as long as you won't feel hurt.

I guess Harvey has not reached mental maturity.

He'd probably be more honest and considerate after learning a few lessons." Nicole smirked.

AS Harvey had always been stirring crap for her, all of his doings had led her to feel this way about him.

While Harvey seemed mature and cool on the outside, a petulant, childish soul still resided within him.

He had always acted as if he could be in control of everything.

Yet, he had failed to realize that everything would not have been this smooth for him if Thomas had not stepped in to aid him since his return to San Joto.

In fact, Harvey's success had caused him to lose himself.

He had willingly allowed his vengeance to blind him.

While Nicole had no right to comment on anything that had happened in the past, Thomas was still Harvey's grandfather.

He was the one who had poured his heart and soul out for Harvey.

Looking up into Thomas's eyes, Nicole began to feel sad for Thomas.

When Thomas was informed of Nicole's plan, he remained silent for a moment.

Then, he let out a sigh and said, "You guys should make your own decisions in accordance with your own needs." It was not that Thomas did not care about them; everything that was transpiring beyond the walls of Royal Creek was beyond his reach and authority.

If anything, it seemed to him that he had little to no control over anyone now.

Nicole raised her eyebrows and glanced at Thomas, whereupon she joked, "Mr.

Ellison? Don't you want that good grandson of yours from the past to return?" Thomas's face froze for a moment, and he looked away.

"It was all an act from the very beginning." Harvey was never what one would call a good person.

He had only ever appeared to be courteous and obedient on the outside.

After all, he had returned with a purpose, and a spiteful one at that.

"He's just blinded by anger.” It mattered little whether it was an act or not.

If Harvey could act it out, he would be able to do it.

It also meant that he could choose to have this side of him.

 

Chapter 2590 Thomas looked at Nicole and pursed his lips.

In the end, he decided to remain silent.

Nicole did not want to bring up the sad past, so she quickly changed the subject of the conversation.

Both of them went on to have casual chats over their meals.

Then, Nicole left Royal Creek Institute.

"Ma'am, would Harvey suspect anything about your visit again? If he does, would Mr.

Ellison..." Patricia asked softly.

Knowing what Patricia's concerns were, Nicole replied, ''He won't.

Harvey would not fall into the same trap twice.

He would not disturb Mr.

Ellison again." Nicole already knew what was going, and that was why she would even dare to visit Thomas in the first place.

Still, she would do well not to bother Thomas over Harvey's matters any longer.

"Oh." Patricia said, feeling that Nicole's words made sense.

As the car sped across the road, Nicole watched as the scenery flitted past her.

She gently leaned against her seat with a relaxed smile on her face.

It had been a long while since Nicole had taken the time to pause and observe the beauty of her surroundings — to smell the roses, so to speak.

Suddenly, Nicole's phone rang.

Seeing that it was Lulu's caller ID, Nicole picked it up and smiled.

" Spencer might begin to get jealous if you keep this up during your honeymoon." Indeed, very few would bother to think about family matters ona daily basis while being on their honeymoon.

"Have you seen the news?" Lulu asked, her dull and heavy.

“Not yet.

What happened?" Nicole frowned a little.

"It's about what happened at the wedding the other day.

Someone has exposed the details, especially Nolan and Lana's identity." Lulu informed Nicole.

Narrowing her eyes, Nicole's voice turned cold and low.

"I got it.” As soon as she uttered those words, Nicole hung up.

Flipping through the news portal on her phone, Nicole discovered an article about that wedding.

The main issue was that the Riddle family, as well as Jared, had already ordered everyone to stop the news from spreading.

Due to this, it made no sense as to why it had still leaked.

"The Riddle brothers got married on the same day, and the public had already been paying attention to the news, but then, the wedding ended abruptly.

There was no news about it after it ended.

Perhaps, that had roused the suspicion of the public." Patricia posited after having analyzed the situation.

"Yeah." Nicole said, crossed as she added in a low voice.

"Quick, stop the news from spreading and get someone to investigate.

We must get to the bottom of this as soon as possible." "Understood." Patricia replied with utmost seriousness.

Then, Nicole bit her lips and ordered, "Let's head to Johnston Group now." Patricia turned the car around as ordered.

And soon after, they arrived at the headquarters of Johnston Group.

Nicole got down from the car and entered the building once the car had halted.

As for Patricia, she went ahead and carried out Nicole's orders after she had parked her car.

Meanwhile, Nicole headed upstairs and made a beeline for Jared's office, after which she knocked on the door.

"Come in." Hearing Jared's voice, Nicole pushed the door open and entered.

Feeling a little shocked to see Nicole, he got up, approached Nicole, and asked, "What are you doing here?" Following a sigh, Nicole informed, "Someone exposed my family's secrets.”.

Narrowing his eyes, Jared replied, "I'll get Max to look into it.” "It's fine.

I've asked Patricia to take care of the investigation." Nicole pulled Jared by the hand and sat down together.

Then, she sighed.

"Raine's issue is not the one we're concerned about.

After all, the police have made an official statement and distributed it.

It's just that...Nolan and Lana's identity..." Although the both of them had decided to formally announce Nolan and Lana's true identities to everyone during the wedding day, Raine's assault had disrupted all of their plans.

Therefore, they had not gotten the chance announce it at all.
