Ch. 2591..2595: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2591-2595

Chapter 2591 Unexpectedly, someone had exposed them.

The crux of the issue was that it was not published as a proper, official announcement, but as a gossip article.

Needless to say, this made Nicole feel very unnerved.

Hearing this, Jared hugged Nicole gently and said, "Let's have an official ceremony." Since they had already decided not to conceal the truth, which had already been exposed anyway, Jared thought they could just organize a ceremony to do Nolan and Lana's identities true justice in San Joto.

Nicole looked up at Jared and bit her lips as she hesitated.

Initially, they had thought that Nolan and Lana would appear in public together with them, and due to this, they did not have any reservations about making their existence known to the public.

On the day when they were about to do it, they had to place it on the back burner because of Raine's act of gatecrashing them.

This had led them to wonder if they should hold another banquet just for the two little ones.

"They're worth doing this for." Jared said in a gentle voice, knowing what Nicole's concerns were.

Jared assumed that those who mattered would attend the wedding.

Therefore, it was the best time to make the announcement.

But now, considering the circumstances, he felt that it would be appropriate to hold a banquet specially for Nolan and Lana.

Nicole bit her lips and after a moment of hesitation, she answered, “Alright then." That was the best solution for the issue.

They could not afford to leave it up to the public to make guesses about Nolan and Lana's identity.

Neither the Johnston family nor the Riddle family would wrong Nolan and Lana like this.

Seeing that Nicole was in a better mood now, Jared stroked her hair and said, "Well then, have you started thinking about our wedding?" Although they had received their marriage certificates five years ago, they had not held an official wedding ceremony with their family members in attendance yet.

Nolan and Lana were five years old already, and yet, neither of their parents had announced their marriage to the public before.

As such, Jared thought it was time for them to make the announcement.

Nicole blushed and leaned on Jared's shoulders.

Then, she looked up at Jared and said, "I think we can start planning." Hearing this, Jared raised his eyebrows as if he was ina state of shock.

“What kind of look is that?" Nicole angrily glared at Jared.

He was the one who had suggested the wedding, but now that she had agreed to it, Jared appeared to be taken aback.

"It's just that, [ thought you would find an excuse to say no." Jared lightly pinched Nicole's nose and while a grin crossed his face.

"Since you've agreed to it, there is no turning back now." "Why would I regret it?" Nicole asked, feigning anger and rolled her eyes at Jared.

"That's all I need to hear." Jared looked down and kissed Nicole on the lips.

"Ugh..." Nicole protested, though she made no effort to push her away.

All of a sudden, there were knocks on the door, and having heard them, Nicole wriggled out of his embrace in a panic, "S-someone is here." This prompted Jared to frown a little and let go of Nicole.

After the two of them were properly seated, Nicole adjusted her clothes.

Jared then shot Nicole a glance and said, "Come in." When the door opened, Max and Patricia entered, shot the couple a glance, and looked at each other.

'Why is it that Mr.

Johnston looks so unhappy?" "Spill." Jared ordered, his voice deep and low.

Max and Patricia were very sure that Jared was in a bad mood.

However, they did not give it much thought because they assumed that it was about Nolan and Lana's issue.

"Sir, we've found something.

It should be Lawrence's doings.” Patricia lowered her head and looked at the ground as she spoke.

"Lawrence." Jared seemed crossed.

'This fella sure has the balls to do that!" "Is there any more information?" Nicole narrowed her eyes a little and asked.

To that, Max replied, "He...might have discovered that the Fire Crest is in your hands now." "So, he's testing me?" Nicole frowned.

It was obvious that Lawrence was trying to test and see Nicole's reaction.

Max and Patricia glanced at each other, after which they replied in unison, "I guess so."

Chapter 2592

Chapter 2592 Nicole looked toward Jared, her eyes seemingly brimming with questions.

Jared frowned, and after a long pause, he turned to Nicole and said, "Don't let him know that you've regained your memories." At most, Lawrence would only come to discover that Nicole had retrieved the Fire Crest.

After all, that system was always in Nicole's hands.

They could always say that it was Nicole who had cracked the system and the Crest recognized her as the sole bearer.

Nothing would be out of place, and besides, the Crests would never allow a switch in ownership unless the current bearer was dead.

They would definitely not be able to tell that Nicole had gotten her memories restored.

Perhaps the main thing which Lawrence was trying to test was this information.

"Yeah." Nicole nodded in agreement.

Then, Nicole turned to Patricia and said, "What about Hanwick?" Patricia shook her head.

"He still refuses to say anything.

I'm not sure if he's waiting for Lawrence to rescue him." There was definitely one of the possibilities.

Otherwise, there would be no other reason for Hanwick to keep himself tight lipped.

“Let him go then." Nicole ordered, knowing full well that they would not gain any information from Hanwick, even if it was good to use him for a while.

By releasing Hanwick, it would prove that she had not regained any of her memories.

"Understood," Patricia replied.

"Sir, ma'am, if there isn't anything else, we'll leave now," Max said, and proceeded to leave as he had already reported everything he had wanted to.

After all, Jared seemed to be in a bad mood.

It was best for them to leave as soon as possible.

“Hold up." Jared looked up and turned to Max and Patricia.

The both of them blanched at once.

Then, they lowered their heads and began wondering if something had happened.

“About the wedding plan we had prepared, you may proceed with it." Jared ordered the two of them.

Max and Patricia lifted their heads, their eyes wide and their jaws hanging.

"A Wedding?" Seeing the response, Jared frowned and asked, "Do you havea problem?" "No." The both of them shook their heads immediately.

They had no intention of questioning Jared, even though they had come across as having reacted that way.

They were just too shocked by the news.

‘That means that Mr.

and Mrs.

Johnston were already in the midst of discussing the wedding when the both of us entered the room.

But why do I feel that he was pissed when we came in?’ Max wondered.

Suddenly, he seemed to have realized something, and that was when he quickly replied, "Understood.

We'll work on it now." As soon as he had spoken, Max brought Patricia out of the room.

He seemed to have understood why Jared was in a bad mood.

They had probably entered the room at the wrong time.

Thus, it was best for them to leave as soon as possible.

After Max and Patricia had exited the room, Jared looked to his side at Nicole and said, "Well now, shall we..." "uh, I'll have to go back now." Nicole stood up suddenly.

Chuckling, Jared pulled Nicole back down onto the couch.

It was only then that Nicole understood that Jared was teasing her on purpose.

She could not help but roll her eyes at Jared.

"You've got nothing to do even if you go now.

Just stay here and accompany me." Jared persuaded her in a low voice.

“Alright then." Nicole smiled.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Hanwick was released immediately.

And as anticipated, he scurried his way to Lawrence at once.

Looking at how disheveled Hanwick was, Lawrence frowned.

" What are you doing here?" "What's the point of me hiding my whereabouts?" Hanwick asked, resentful.

"I was kidnapped, and you did not even bother to look out for me?" “Even without me looking out for you, you still managed to show up in front of me, didn't you?" Lawrence's gaze was cold.

 

Chapter 2593

Chapter 2593 With a skeptical look on his face, Hanwick questioned, ‘What on earth did you do?" "There's no need for you to know anymore.

Leave San Joto as soon as possible." After Lawrence was done talking to Hanwick, he shouted outside " Tan!" "Sir." Ian quickly entered the room.

“Prepare him to leave the country immediately." Lawrence ordered, his voice burning with fury.

Stunned, Ian asked, “You mean now? Don't we need to investigate?" "There's no need for that." Lawrence said, his eyes frosty.

'He's entirely useless to me now.

‘If Jared and Nicole have opted to release him, that means that Nicole hasn't regained her memories.

Fortunately, Hanwick kept his mouth sealed.

Otherwise, I would have even less of a reason to keep him alive,' he thought.

"Understood." Ian turned to Hanwick.

"C'mon, let's go." Hanwick added, "The drugs for next month are in my apartment drawer.

I'll keep sending them to you from now on." He then followed Ian out.

Hanwick knew he couldn't do much more to assist Lawrence, apart from supplying him with those nerve suppressant drugs.

Seeing that Ian and Hanwick had left, Lawrence leaned back against the chair and closed his eyes as he began to think.

‘Nicole has gained access to the Fire Crest.

Too bad I was not there to witness it, but...’ With a sigh, Lawrence's eyes narrowed.

He could not help but wonder if he would have gotten the Fire Crest if he was there.

Lawrence knew that the Crests would not recognize any changes in ownership unless its previous bearer had ended up deceased.

However, all of it was just folktales and hearsay.

No one knew it was true.

If the owner was willing to pass it on, the ownership should be transferable.

It was a pity for him that he did not have the chance to test it out.

And although Nicole had not regained her memories, it was obvious that she had already begun to suspect him.

Otherwise, she would not have captured Hanwick.

One thing to note was that Nicole might be even more cautious of him now.

"Why does it seem like things haven't been going well since I arrived at San Joto? Now, I've even lost my final ace, the Fire Crest.

Was coming to San Joto the wrong move for me? Or is this God's punishment for what I have done many years back?" he asked himself.

Lawrence lifted his head and rested his head on the chair.

Then, he stared at the ceiling while his thoughts began racing across his mind.

Night has fallen, and the lights were lit.

The Riddle family's living room was filled with joy and tranquility, although it was nowhere near as merry as before.

Though Spencer and Samuel were no longer around, Sean and Steve had returned home.

With them around, everyone went on to discuss the banquet to be held for Nolan and Lana.

"Jared, you should inform your grandpa about this matter.

After all, you're going to introduce them as Nolan and Lana Johnston during the banquet." Daniel advised Jared.

"We'll confirm the guest list and agenda for now.

I'll talk to my grandpa tomorrow once I head back.

J was also thinking of asking him to host the night." Jared replied, taking Daniel's advice.

"Nice! If he could host the night, that would be great! He'll be happy about it too!" Daniel agreed to the idea.

"Let's see if there's anything that we've missed out on." Jane looked at the items she had taken note of as she asked for everyone's opinion.

"The guests will come bearing gifts, right? Should we prepare some gifts at the entrance for them as well?" Jane asked.

"Yeah, we'll definitely need to prepare some." Gloria nodded.

"This banquet must be done well.

That way, we could also make up for what happened last time." Daniel added.

Then, Sean and Steve stated, "This time around, we will get a security detail to keep an eye on the event." "Good." Gloria replied.

"Let's keep it a secret from Samuel and Spencer in the meantime.

Otherwise, they'll just get worried.

Let's just give them a peaceful honeymoon." "Yeah, that's true." Sean agreed, and turned to Stanley, "After the invitation cards have been tallied with the guest list, you'll be in charge of the printing." "Sure." Stanley answered.

Soon, after all the responsibilities had been assigned, Gloria called out to everyone, "I guess we're almost done.

Let's have dinner now."

Chapter 2594

Chapter 2594 Everyone walked over to the table and got themselves seated.

Just as dinner was served, the look on Sally's face changed.

Then, she covered her mouth with her hands, got up and ran off.

"Sally!" Steve followed after her, worried.

Gloria looked at the direction Sally was headed to, and Gloria's gaze was filled with emotions.

As Nicole had also experienced such a thing before, she instinctively turned to look at Gloria.

When their eyes met, the mother daughter duo reached an instant understanding of what was going on.

After a while, Sally returned, her face pale as a sheet.

That was when Steve stepped up and persuaded Sally to ease her concerns.

"Let's go to the hospital.” "It's fine.

I have been experiencing this for a few times over the past few days.

I'll feel better in a while." Sally shook her head as everyone waited for dinner to begin.

She did not want the rest to worry about her.

"alfred!" Gloria shouted.

"Yes?" The house butler came over.

"Get the kitchen to bring these greasy dishes away as well as that fish.

Ask them to prepare something lighter and more delicate.” Gloria ordered.

"Mom, there's no need for that.

It's fine." Sally immediately stopped Gloria, feeling a little bad that everyone had to adjust to her needs.

If all those dishes were taken away, the rest would be left with nothing but vegetables and fruit to eat.

"Don't worry.

Just have a seat." Gloria stole a glance at Sally's belly as she stated.

Having not noticed it, Sally sat down obediently.

However, she still attempted to persuade Gloria to let things be.

"Mom, it's really fine.

I feel a lot better..." Before she could complete her sentence, Sally's gaze caught the table again, and her nose began twitching.

Still, she attempted to conceal and suppress her sudden revulsion for the food in front of her.

Seeing this, Gloria immediately rushed the butler.

"Alfred, quick!" "Understood." The butler immediately went to work.

Soon, after the greasier meat and fish items were removed from the table, they were substituted by lighter, plant-based ones.

Once Sally felt much better, she thanked Gloria, "Thank you mom.

As soon as she had spoken, Sally turned to the rest of them, "I'm sorry, I'm not sure why I've been feeling this way recently.

I've been feeling sick from time to time." “There's no need to apologize.

This is a good thing." Gloria smiled.

"Let's have our meal first.

After dinner, Steve will bring you to the hospital to get you checked." "Mom, how could this be a good thing?" Steve questioned, disagreeing with his mother's view of the situation.

Steve himself had noticed that Sally had lost a lot of weight.

It could very well be a sign that she was sick.

In response, Gloria rolled her eyes at Steve and said, "You'll find out once you go to the hospital." "Sally, are you..." Jane trailed off, seeming to have understood the situation.

Instinctively, her gaze moved toward and settled on Sally's belly.

Sally followed Jane's gaze and stopped at her own belly.

Then, the realization dawned upon her, stunning her for a moment.

"Mom, are you saying..." Sally asked Gloria excitedly.

"I guess so.

You'll find out once you've gotten it checked at the hospital." Gloria replied with a smile.

"what on earth are you ladies talking about?" Steve asked with a frown, still unable to understand the situation.

Then, Sally blushed and pulled Steve over to her.

"You might be a dad soon." "Dad?" Steve gasped, petrified.

After a few seconds, he snapped out of his stupor, carried Sally up, and said, “Let's get to the hospital now!" "Hey, be careful." Gloria instantly panicked and said.

"I know.

I won't throw them down," Steve replied, and by then, he was already heading outside.

Chapter 2595

Chapter 2595 "But you can't just let Sally starve," Gloria retorted.

"No worries.

I'll buy something for her to eat," Steve suddenly said, before rushing out of the front door.

Taken aback by what Steve was doing, they then burst out laughing.

"Look how worried he is." "Alfred, please get someone to tag along with him and inform us when he's back, so that the both of them won't have to lose sleep over this," Gloria instructed.

Steve would have to take care of Sally once he got to the hospital, so it was best to have someone else handle the rest for him.

"I will do so right away," the house butler replied, and hurried off to make the necessary arrangements at once.

After Steve and Sally had sped off the driveway, the others continued their dinner.

There, in the dining hall, the atmosphere was brimming with cheerful anticipation.

“Mummy, are we going to have a little sibling?" Nolan and Lana asked curiously, turning off the television.

Nicole chuckled and patted their heads.

"That's possible." “Woohoo! That's awesome!" Lana clapped with excitement.

“Would you prefer a little brother or sister?" Gloria asked Lana playfully.

After pondering for a moment, Lana answered, "Hmm, I'm fine with both.

Doesn't matter if they are boys or girls.

I like them both.

Or they could be twins like me and Nolan.

That way, I could have both!" "Hahaha.

That'll be a little difficult," Everyone laughed.

After a pleasant dinner, news from the hospital arrived, and Sally was indeed pregnant.

Nolan and Lana were so excited that they wanted to rush over to the hospital.

However, Gloria held them back and said, "You can't see the baby now.

We will have to wait for another nine months before the baby is here." “Why?" the kids asked, their big, round eyes fixed on Gloria.

"They are too small now, so they'll be living in Aunt Sally's belly for the time being.

We'll have to wait until they grow a little bigger to be able to sleep on beds like you two," Nicole explained.

Hearing this made the kids a little disappointed.

"But it will take forever." “Don't think about it.

You'll have to go to bed now," Nicole lightly patted her children's heads.

“Alright then," Nolan and Lana obeyed and went to sleep, knowing that there would be no baby to see for a while.

Watching as the kids made their way upstairs to their rooms, Nicole could not help but smile.

Then, she looked at Jared and said, "Let's go to bed too." "Sure thing," Jared agreed, and followed Nicole upstairs.

Daniel and Gloria were the only ones in the living room thereafter.

The two exchanged glances, and Gloria smiled.

"It seems that more good news is around the corner.

This is great." "Yes.

You need not worry.

We'll have nothing but good things in the future," Daniel gently patted Gloria's shoulder in reassurance.

By the time Nicole and Jared had gotten upstairs, the kids had already taken a shower and were ready to sleep.

After tucking them to bed, Nicole and Jared got out of their children's rooms, exchanged smiles, and retired to their bedroom while holding hands.

"Let's bring the kids back to Grandpa's tomorrow," Nicole said.

"Sure," Jared answered.

Jared's grandfather, Maximillian Johnston, loved the kids, and they were certain he would love to see them.

"We'll pick them up after work," Nicole said.

"We'll have to inform Tia tomorrow and tell her that she doesn't need to bring the kids home from school." As the hour was late, Jared looked at Nicole with a tender gaze and smoothened her hair.

"We should go to sleep." "Okay," Nicole playfully chuckled and threw the covers over herself.

The next morning, dewdrops fell from the leaves as dawn broke.
