Ch. 2611..2615: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2611-2615
Chapter 2611
“Mr. Ellison is waiting in the reception room,” Nicole’s assistant replied.
Nicole entered the reception room and saw Harvey leaning on the couch leisurely, eyeing everything inside.
Sensing a presence, Harvey turned and saw Nicole. He put on a fake smile, stood up, and acted like a gentleman. “We meet again, Ms. Riddle.”
“Nice to meet you,” Nicole said indifferently, keeping a strictly professional demeanor.
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK.
The assistant brought coffee into the room.
“Mr. Ellison, have some coffee,” said Nicole, gesturing in that direction. Then,
she sat down and invited Harvey to do the same. “Since Mr. Ellison is present here, shall we talk about the joint venture factory?”
“Well, there’s no rush in that,” said Harvey. His purpose here had nothing to do with discussing the joint venture.
Compared to losing a factory, he felt it was more important to build a closer relationship with Nicole.
Shocked, Nicole raised her brows and asked, “Well, I have no idea what else
there is to discuss, if not the factory. Unless you changed your mind?”
With a pause, Nicole pretended to grasp the situation and said, “If you regret the
decision to join ventures, I could purchase the factory on my own.”
Harvey’s smile twitched, and he said helplessly, “Alright then. Do you have any
opinions or suggestions for the joint venture?”
“I suggest you withdraw from the venture. Would you agree to that?” Nicole said indifferently.
Harvey could hardly maintain his composure. He gritted his teeth and pretended to stay calm. “This is something I cannot satisfy. It’s done, and it can’t be simply changed.”
“I’m just saying. I also believe it’d be difficult to amend the contract’s terms,”
Nicole replied nonchalantly, shrugging her shoulders. She did not expect Harvey
to agree to her suggestion in the first place. After all, if Harvey agreed to Nicole’s
suggestion, he would not have done those dirty tricks and signed the contract.
“It’s my honor to collaborate with you. I hope our future cooperation will be
smooth and pleasant.” Harvey faked a smile and extended a hand for Nicole to
shake.
Nicole coldly glanced at Harvey. “Well, that depends on you, Mr. Ellison.” She
then called for her assistant. “Please see Mr. Ellison out.”
Her assistant promptly entered and escorted Harvey out, saying, “This way
please, Mr. Ellison.”
“We shall meet again.” Harvey smirked and left.
Once Harvey left, Patricia entered the office. “Ms. Riddle…” Nicole explained,
“Don’t worry. He just came to validate his presence.”
Nicole did not even try to be polite. After all, she was happy that she irritated Harvey.
“What about the collaboration in the future?” Patricia asked. Harvey had his
intentions for the joint venture. Thus, the collaboration might be trickier than
expected.
“It’s alright. He’s the one who wants the collaboration.” Nicole smirked. “Have
you prepared the things I requested?”
“All set,” Patricia informed.
“Then it’s time for action,” Nicole said meaningfully while looking out the window.
“Alright.”
A faint smile appeared on Nicole’s face as she thought,’ Harvey, you’re the one
who wanted the collaboration. As for how pleasant the collaboration will be, it’ll
depend on your definition of pleasant. But I certainly hope you enjoy this.’
Meanwhile, Harvey exited the Riddle Corporation building and hopped into his car.
“How was it, Mr. Ellison?” his assistant asked.
“Just start the car,” Harvey said depressingly. Sensing Harvey’s desolation, his
assistant followed his orders and stopped talking.
Chapter 2612
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2612-Harvey leaned into his seat, his gaze gloomy as he looked out the car window.
‘Nicole didn’t seem affected by the matter. Why? She wanted to purchase the
electronic component factory, but I tampered with the contract secretly.
Shouldn’t she be angry and frustrated now that it turned into a joint venture?
Why am I the one feeling the angry now?’
“If it were you, wouldn’t you be angry?” Harvey questioned his assistant
abruptly.
His assistant froze for a moment before cautiously asking,” What should I be
angry about?”
Harvey said displeased, “Wouldn’t you be angry about the contract?”
“Well,” his assistant said, looking at Harvey in the rearview mirror. He pondered
for a moment before answering, “I guess I would. Maybe Nicole is pretending to
show you her anger. It’s like admitting defeat if she showed her frustration. If
The atmosphere in the car fell into silence for a moment before Harvey’s
chuckle sounded. “You’re right. That made sense.”
If Nicole got mad in front of him, it would be admitting defeat. So Nicole had to
pretend to maintain her composure.
Seeing Harvey’s mood improve, his assistant breathed a sigh of relief.
“From now on, report every single thing about the component factory to me,”
Harvey instructed.
“Yes, sir,” his assistant replied.
Harvey’s gloomy mood instantly disappeared. There was even a hint of
smugness in him.
The sunset caused a warm and golden glow.
Before Nicole could walk out of her office after work, a phone call came in.
Seeing it was Tia’s number, she answered it. “Yes, Tia?”
“Mummy,” Nolan’s voice came through the phone. “Mummy, we want Tia to take
us for ice cream. Is that alright?”
Nicole frowned. “You want to eat ice cream?”
“Yes, can we please?” Lana’s voice came through the phone.
“Let Tia bring you home first. I’ll get you the ice cream when I come home,
okay?” Nicole proposed.
Nicole was worried Tia could not manage both the kids outside, and it was not
that she did not trust Tia with the kids.
“Mummy, we promise to be good and listen to Tia. We really want to eat in the
store,” Lana started to plead.
“Mummy, Tia and I will take care of Lana,” Nolan promised.
Nicole had no choice but to agree. “Alright then, you guys go ahead. Your father
and I will come later on.”
Nicole could tell they really wanted to go, so she was forced to come to this
compromise out of concern for them.
“Thank you, Mummy,” Nolan and Lana were elated and happily hung up the
phone call.
Listening to the dial tone, Nicole could not help but shake her head in
amusement and put her phone away.
“We can leave now,” Patricia came over to inform.
“Alright,” Nicole responded, and she headed into the elevator.
Outside Riddle Corporation, Jared had arrived, so Nicole entered the car.
“The kids are eating ice cream. Let’s go there,” Nicole said.
“Do you know which one they’re going to?” Jared asked.
“Isn’t it the one they always go to?” Nicole paused. She did not consider this
before and assumed it was the regular spot they visited.
Realization flashed in Jared’s eyes. “I’m afraid they’re not there for the ice
cream.”
Huh?” Nicole seemed sounded softly. “Are you saying that…
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2613-“Yeah.”
Meanwhile, Nolan and Lana said to the driver, “Let’s go to Sarley on Timeston
Road.”
“Didn’t you guys want to get ice cream?” asked Tia, finding it strange.
“Oh, my classmate said that the ice cream there is better,” Nolan replied calmly.
Tia knew that they loved ice cream, so she did not think much of it and brought
them to Sorley.
Sarley was a commercial district, where there were a lot of offices and business
clubs. There were also some mini restaurants that sold food and beverages, as
well as some small supermarkets.
“Nolan, where’s the ice cream shop that we’re going to?” Lana asked Nolan
while glancing around.
They were not familiar with this place at all, and everything Nolan knew about
Sarley was from the internet. The buildings around them all shared similar
designs and it was very confusing.
Nolan was also looking around, but he was not searching for the ice cream
shop. Instead, he was looking for a club because he had heard that Stanley
would go there alone to think after work that day.
Stanley had once told him that the club’s name was Serenity. It had an elegant
environment and was exceptionally quiet, making it a very good place to think.
That was why Stanley would always go there to work on his project.
After searching for some time, Nolan finally found Serenity in the northwest
corner of Sarley. Then, his eyes lit up.
“It’s over there.” Nolan pointed as he said, “Let’s go.”
“Watch your step,” Tia said to the children, worried that they might walk too fast
and trip.
When they arrived at the entrance of Serenity, Tia grabbed Nolan’s hand just as
he was about to go in. “Nolan, we should probably look around a bit more to see
if there’s a dedicated ice cream shop.”
Serenity was a club that looked nothing like an ice cream shop. Tia was worried
that they would be kicked out if they were to just go inside.
Seeing that Tia did not want to go inside, Lana put on a puzzled look and asked,
“Is there no ice cream inside?”
“Um….” Tia had no choice but to explain helplessly, “I haven’t been here before,
so I don’t know. However, I just think it’d be better for us to visit a place that only
sells ice cream.”
“Kids, you…” The receptionist came outside. She had never seen any child
entering the club, so she found it a little strange.
“My mom and dad will be here soon. We’ll go in and wait if there’s ice cream
inside. Otherwise, we’ll go somewhere else,” Nolan said decisively after sensing
the receptionist’s slight surprise.
Upon hearing that their parents would be coming, Straightened., “We do have
ice cream. Please follow me.”
Nolan and Lana felt secretly delighted after successfully entering the club. They
looked around inside, but unfortunately, they could not find Stanley anywhere on
the first floor. So, they figured that he was probably in one of the private rooms
upstairs.
They wondered if they should just go upstairs directly or pretend to bump into
Stanley coincidentally.
Nolan stole a glance at Tia and noticed that she was ordering ice cream with a
service staff. Then, he immediately made a decision and went upstairs directly.
They would have to stay on the first order after the ice cream came, and his
entire plan today would be ruined.
“Ms. Rose, since Mom and Dad will be coming in a while anyway, we’ll go wait
for them in the private rooms upstairs,” Nolan said as he was already dragging
Lana toward the second floor.
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2614-“Okay then,” Tia agreed as it seemed like Nolan and Lana were planning to
finish their ice cream here before leaving.
Besides, Nicole had also told her that she would be coming, and they would
have to wait for her anyway.
Once upstairs, Nolan and Lana searched through several private rooms upstairs
but still could not see Stanley anywhere.
“Kids, all the rooms ahead are occupied,” one of the staff told them as there
were no empty rooms left.
“Miss,” Lana suddenly grabbed the staff and spoke in a hushed tone, “Is Stanley
Riddle here today?”
Seeing the staff’s hesitation, Lana added, “He’s actually my uncle.”
The staff widened her gaze in surprise upon hearing that. Then she nodded.
“Ah, I see. I was just wondering why you two looked so familiar.”
Although no outsiders were invited to Nolan and Lana’s party, the staff
happened to have a close friend working at that hotel. Coincidentally, she had a
day off and visited her friend there when the party was being held. So, she saw
Nolan and Lana.
However, she had not expected them to suddenly show up here, so she could
not recognize them right away.
Naturally, she knew that Nolan and Lana were siblings. So, she smiled and
replied softly, “Mr. Riddle is in the room at the back. He said that he did not want
anyone entering his room, but I think he would make an exception for you two.”
“In that case, please get us four servings of ice cream and have them sent to
the room,” Lana said with a sweet smile while looking at the staff. “Thank you so
much.”
No one could ever resist such a smart, adorable, and polite child. The staff then
smiled back and said, “Sure, I’ll get it done right away.”
“Nolan, let’s go.” Lana lifted her chin in a proud manner and took the lead.
Nolan heard what Lana said and grabbed Tia’s hand. “Ms. Rose, let’s go.”
“Didn’t the staff say that all the rooms ahead are occupied?” Tia was a little
puzzled.
“Yeah, but just come with us.” Nolan and Lana said as they led Tia to the door of
a room.
Lana knocked on the door. Then, they heard someone inside asking in a slightly
displeased tone, “Who is it?”
Lana pushed the door open, peeked her head in, and smiled. “Hello, Uncle
Stanley,” she greeted Stanley in a sweet voice.
“Lana, why are you here?” Stanley’s irritated expression instantly vanished
when he saw Lana as he walked toward the door.
He opened the door wider and saw Nolan and Tia outside. It was then he
realized that Tia was the one who brought them here.
“Come on in. What brought you guys here?” Stanley asked with a hint of
confusion.
“Our classmate said that the ice cream here is very delicious, so we came to try
it out.” Lana lifted her head and said while blinking her innocent, big eyes.
“Classmate?” Stanley frowned. Not many children would visit Serenity, and the
odds of them being their classmates were even lower. Besides, he figured that
no matter how delicious the ice cream there was, there were definitely other
better options in San Joto.
“Yeah, that’s what he said, so we wanted to try it out,” Nolan added expectantly
after noticing Stanley’s suspicion.
Stanley stopped dwelling on it upon hearing Nolan’s words. He was about to tell
the staff to bring some ice cream over, but he already saw the staff entering his
private room.
“Mr. Riddle, the ice creams are here,” the staff said before placing the four
servings of ice cream on the coffee table.
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2615-Stanley’s lip twitched as he immediately thought to himself again, ‘This can’t be
just a mere coincidence, right?’
He believed their story about coming here to have ice cream, but the fact that
they were aware of his room’s location and that the staff entered with four
portions of ice cream made the situation seem highly unlikely.
Then, Stanley remembered how Nolan and Lana had pestered him with
questions about where he was going after work. He called to tell them that he
needed a quiet place to think, so he would come to Serenity.
Stanley could not help but frown at Nolan and Lana as if he had realized
something.
“Uncle Stanley, you should have a taste.” Lana had yet to notice the change in
Stanley’s expression as she spoke. “Ms. Rose, have a seat,” she added.
However, Nolan had already noticed Stanley’s suspicions, so he quickly
changed the subject, “Uncle Stanley, let’s try the ice cream first. Mom and Dad
will be here soon.”
“They’re coming?!” Stanley was shocked as he subconsciously raised his voice.
“Yeah, we called Mommy and they’ll be here in a minute,” Lana nodded firmly
and spoke.
Stanley could not help but rub his temples. “Have a seat.”
“Mr. Riddle, are we disturbing you?” Tia asked softly after seeing that Stanley
seemed a little troubled.
“No, it’s fine. Have a seat.” Stanley quickly regained his composure and spoke.
They were already here anyway. Although he knew that everything was a part of
the troublemakers’ plan, he was not going to be upset at them.
“This is my first time hearing that the ice cream here is good. Let’s try it
together.” Stanley said as he shot a glance at Nolan and Lana.
“They’re definitely delicious.” Lana began scooping her ice cream with a little
spoon.
Nolan shifted his gaze away and looked at Tia, “Ms. Rose, you should have
some too. Even Uncle Stanley hasn’t tried it. We’re all tasting it for the first time.
“Sure,” Tia said and tried the ice cream too.
Tia had an indescribable feeling as if something was not right, but she just could
not tell what it was.
“Hm, it tastes so good,” Lana praised after taking just one spoonful.
Nolan chimed in, “No wonder our classmate told me that we had to come here.”
Stanley looked at them and smiled faintly, seeming to enjoy their act.
“Uncle Stanley, how long are you going to stay here for?”
Lana quickly shifted the subject after noticing that something was not right.
‘Oops, it seems like Uncle Stanley has found out,’ Lana thought to herself and
felt it was best not to talk about the ice cream anymore.
“I’m not sure,” Stanley replied as he looked away from the mischievous pair.
Nolan widened his gaze, “Why not? Is the problem very difficult to solve?”
“Sort of, yeah.” Stanley shrugged before continuing, “But it’s okay. I believe it
can eventually be solved.”
“Uncle Stanley, you can do this,” Lana said with a bright smile.
“Yes, there’s nothing you can’t do, Uncle Stanley.” Nolan nodded firmly while
expressing his trust in Stanley.
Tia joined in to show her support too after hearing the encouragement from the
little ones, “Mr. Riddle, you’re always so capable. I’m sure that you got this.”
Stanley had a smile on his face when he listened to Nolan and Lana. However,
when he heard Tia’s words, he abruptly shifted his gaze toward her and was
suddenly at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond.
“Thank you.” Stanley kept it simple.
“Mr. Riddle, you’re too polite.” Tia lowered her head, feeling a little flustered.
“Ms. Rose is right. Uncle Stanley, you’re always so capable.” Lana blinked her
eyes playfully at Stanley as if to say, “Look, Ms. Rose is praising you.”
“Is the ice cream not good?” Stanley glanced at Lana helplessly.
