Ch. 2621..2625: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2621-2625

Chapter 2621

Dillon immediately replied, ’Don’t worry. I’ll take care of him.

“Grandpa, I’ll let you know once I find out.” After Nicole finished speaking, she bid Mr. Riddle Sr. goodbye and left the family manor.

“Dad, let’s eat first.” Naturally, Dillon did not want to mention anything that would make Mr. Riddle Sr. unhappy. As soon as he finished speaking, he asked Karen to join them for dinner.

During the meal, Dillon and Karen also tried to avoid the topic of Chloe or Damien. After all, Nicole was investigating the matter. They did not have to worry about it anymore.

After Nicole stepped out of the house, she got into the car with Patricia and left. “Ma’am, what’s your plan?” Patricia asked softly.

“We’ll wait for Chloe to hire someone first.” Nicole said.

Patricia frowned, “You mean, we’ll do a background check on the doctor?”

“Yes. Chloe isn’t that stupid to just take the money and not pretend to have an operation.” Nicole narrowed her eyes. As long as they could find out the weird thing about that doctor, everything would be clear.

“Understood,” Patricia immediately replied. “I’ll arrange someone to look into it.”

Nicole took a deep breath, leaned on the chair, and stared out of the window. As compared to the fact that Chloe dared to ask such a huge sum from Mr.

Riddle Sr., Nicole was more concerned about why Chloe needed that much money?

Nicole could not pinpoint the reason, but she had a strong feeling that it had something to do with Nicole herself.

‘Chloe still hasn’t backed down even with a disability. Is she planning something again?’ Meanwhile, Chloe, who still did not know what was going on, sat happily in front of her dresser and put on a face mask.

“My dear, are you confident about this?” Miley came in and asked worriedly.

Ever since Miley’s family had fallen, they did not have any status in the Riddle family. They did not even have the right to speak. So, the only pillar she could depend on, was Chloe.

Even though Chloe’s plan was perfect, Miley was still worried. What if they failed?

“Mom, don’t worry about it.” Chloe smiled. “After all, no one has seen the Ghost

Hand before. If we say that person is the real one, he will be.”

What else could other people say? Even if he was a fake, who could bring out any evidence to prove it?

“But after the operation, your legs…” Miley was not worried that someone might suspect the doctor. Instead, Chloe might lose everyone’s trust when there are no improvements after the operation. What would they do then?

“Can’t the Ghost Hand make a single mistake?” Chloe snorted. “Or else, I could say my situation is extreme and we’ve waited for too long to treat it. Anyways, we could just simply find a reason.”

After all, no one could treat her after all those years. It was not impossible for the Ghost Hand to fail.

Hearing this, Miley was still not at ease. Chloe advised her,” We do not have any other way out now. We’ve been searching for so long, and there’s no news about that person. I’m even questioning if the Ghost Hand actually exists on earth!”

Initially, Chloe was still hopeful. But being disappointed again and again, she seemed to be immune to the bad news. Every message of failure seemed to not move her at all.

Seeing that Chloe’s face looked sick, Miley comforted her.” If there was such a rumor, this person must exist. We’ll just have to patiently search and wait. Wemust be able to find that person.”

“It has been five years, and there’s no hints at all,” Chloe said angrily. “Instead of sitting around and waiting hopelessly, why don’t I give myself a chance to fight?”

A glint flashed across Chloe’s eyes as she thought, ‘So what if I cannot stand up anymore? As long as I can inherit the

Riddle family, she can move mountains.’ She gritted her teeth. ‘I can’t lose to Nicole. I can’t be useless like this for the rest of my life.’

In the Riddle residence, Nicole entered the living room while everyone was eating dinner in the dining room.

“You’re back. Come over and join us,” Gloria urged.

Chapter 2622

Nicole glanced and noticed that Jared had not reached home yet. She frowned a little. ‘He’s not home yet?’

Nicole went over, sat down and joined everyone for dinner.

“How are things with Grandpa?” Daniel asked softly but his eyes were filled with worry.

“All good,” Nicole replied calmly. She did not want everyone to worry. Gloria frowned a little, “Then, what is it with Chloe? Did she really find Ghost Hand?”

After years of searching, everyone thought that it was impossible to find anymore. But now, she suddenly said that she had found it. Gloria was quite confused by the sudden news.

“Whether it’s real or not, we’ll find out once we see that person.” Nicole’s words were filled with an unnoticeable coldness.

Stanley looked at Nicole questionably. “What do you mean?”

Why did he feel that Nicole was trying to imply something else?

Nicole shrugged her shoulders and replied, “We’re not sure about anything at the moment. Let’s just wait.”

The person will arrive in the next few days, and they should receive Patricia’s results.

As if understanding, Stanley raised his brows and replied,” I’ll sit back and wait for the result then.”

Nicole smiled. “Sure.”

“What are you guys talking about?” Gloria could sense that something was off between the two of them, so she could not help but question.

“Mom, it’s nothing.” He turned to Daniel and said, “Dad, you don’t have to worry about Grandpa as well. Nicole will take care of it.” Stanley could tell that Nicole had a plan, and she was just waiting for the time to come.

“Everything is taken care of by Nicole. I don’t know what the rest of you are doing.” Gloria rolled her eyes at Stanley, unsatisfied.

Stanley rubbed his nose. “I can’t possibly bear such a huge blame alone.”

The rest of the boys were not present, except for him. But the fault could not be borne by him alone.

“Hmph, I’d like them to bear the responsibility as well, but none of them have been here ever since they got married,” Gloria said.

“I’m sorry, mom.” Stanley instantly gave in and swore, “I’ll make sure to ask Sean and Steve to help Nicole take care of this matter.”

No matter what the conversation was, they were just mocking Stanley for not being married or having a girlfriend yet. That was plain discrimination.

However, Stanley did not want to go through the pain of being pestered into getting married. So, he could only lower himself and admit his faults.

Seeing that Stanley pretended to admit his mistakes but pushed the blame to Sean and Steve, Gloria could not help but laugh. Stanley really was a good kid. He was still a likable child even when he caused people to worry.

“Let’s eat. The kids must be tired already. Let them get an early rest,” Daniel reminded his wife.

Gloria rolled her eyes at Stanley, as if saying, Til let you go for once.’

Stanley secretly let out a sigh of relief. It was as if a rock was lifted off his chest.

After dinner, everyone went to rest in their respective rooms.

Nicole accompanied Nolan and Lana for a short playtime. When it was almost bedtime, she arranged for the two kids to shower and bath. Then, Nicole returned to her own room.

It was getting late, but Jared had not returned yet. Nicole could not help but wonder, ‘What’s he doing? Why isn’t he back yet at this hour? Could something have happened to him?’

While Nicole was thinking all the messy thoughts, the yard lit up. She knew that Jared’s car had returned.

 

Chapter 2623

Nicole walked to the window and looked at the courtyard outside.

Jared’s car slowly came to a stop. He got out and walked into the house.

Nicole drew her gaze away. Just as she turned around, Jared had already pushed open the door and approached her.

“You’re back,” Nicole said with a smile. In the next second, Jared embraced her.

“Were you waiting for me?” Jared asked softly, lowering his head to kiss her forehead.

Nicole wrapped her arms around Jared’s waist, tilting her head to meet his gaze.

“Why are you so late?”

“An impromptu international video conference came up. I came back as soon as it ended,” Jared explained while taking Nicole away from the window.

“Oh, I was wondering why you were so late.”

Jared smirked as he teased her, “You were worried about me, weren’t you?”

“Mhm,” Nicole admitted, leaning her head against Jared’s chest. “Of course, I was worried.”

“You could’ve called me,” Jared cooed, gently stroking Nicole’s hair.

“I didn’t want to disturb you in case you were dealing with something important.” Nicole shook her head. She was hesitant, but she ultimately decided not to call him.

Jared cupped Nicole’s face in his hands, his eyes filled with sincerity. “You can call me anytime, okay?”

No matter what he was busy with, Jared would always answer her call as he did not want her to worry.

Nicole responded with a smile. “Well, next time, I can come and keep you company when you’re busy.”

She did not want to bother Jared, nor did she want to affect his work. Besides, she would not have to worry about him if she was around him.

Jared raised an eyebrow, a hint of mischief in his eyes. “Are you sure you won’t be a distraction to me?”

Looking into Jared’s eyes, Nicole quickly understood what he meant. Her cheeks immediately flushed as she gave him a reproachful look. “I’d be there to accompany you while you work, not to seduce you. How could I be a distraction?”

Jared chuckled softly, knowing that he could not resist paying attention to her whenever she was around, whether she was trying to seduce him or not.

Nicole seemed upset. “What’s so funny?”

“Nothing.” Jared gently grasped Nicole’s hand. “Alright, from now on, you can come and keep me company.”

Satisfied, Nicole scoffed as if saying, ‘That’s what I’m talking about.’

“Come on.” Jared pulled Nicole along.

“Wait, where are we going?” Nicole blinked in confusion.

Jared’s eyes glinted mischievously. “To take a bath and sleep.”

Nicole was taken aback. She knew that Jared’s idea of” sleep” was definitely not what she understood it to be.

While she was still in a daze, she was already being carried by Jared toward the bathroom.

“Wait, you go first.”

“It’s okay. We can go together.”

“I think it’s not necessary.”

“I think it’s a very good idea.”

The sound of rushing water echoed in the bathroom, along with Nicole’s discontented protests…

The next day, the sun shone brightly, and the breeze was gentle and calm.

Nicole arrived at the company. As soon as she entered her office, Sean and Steve came in.

“Hey, Sean. Hey, Steve,” Nicole said in surprise. “It’s still early. What’s up?”

 

MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2624-“Chloe found Ghost Hand?” Sean frowned. He knew that Ghost Hand was Nicole, so who exactly did Chloe find?

“Did Stanley really tell you guys that?” Nicole was amused. She thought Stanley

was just saying it offhandedly to avoid being nagged by their mother.

“Are we not supposed to know?” Steve was a bit annoyed.

“Of course not,” Nicole replied with a smile. “I just thought it was a trivial matter.”

She really did not think it was necessary to distract Sean and Steve with this, so

she did not say anything about it.

Sean squinted his eyes. “What are you planning to do?”

“Nothing much. Chloe has to see Ghost Hand in person eventually. When that

time comes, it’ll be proven that the person is fake.” Nicole shrugged as this was

simple for her.

“Grandpa agreed?” Steve asked.

Nicole nodded. “Yes, I went back to the family manor yesterday.”

“It’s good that you discussed it with Grandpa. Let us know if you need our help,”

Sean said.

Although Chloe did not know that Nicole was Ghost Hand, her meddling with

Ghost Hand’s affairs might end up harming Nicole. So, they had to be cautious.

“Okay.” Nicole smiled gratefully at him as she knew he meant well.

“We’ll leave now.” Sean did not say anything further as he saw that Nicole had a

plan.

Steve glanced at her and asked, “How’s it going with the Ellison family?”

“We’ll do it if he’s willing to cooperate,’ Nicole said.

Sean chuckled when he saw the cunning look on Nicole’s face. “Let’s work together then. I hope he won’t regret it.”

“I hope not.” Nicole laughed. “If he doesn’t regret it, then it’ll mean that my effort

has gone to waste.”

Steve burst out laughing. “That’s true!”

Realizing that Nicole had everything under control, Sean and Steve exchanged a glance.

“Come on, we’ve got to get back to work and not hold our little sister back.”

“You’re right,” Steve deliberately answered in a respectful manner.

Sean rolled his eyes at Steve. Then he turned and left. Steve blinked at Nicole

before leaving as well.

Just as they left, Patricia knocked on the door and entered the room. She looked serious.

“Ms. Nicole, I got it.”

Nicole’s gaze darkened. “What is it?”

“Chloe is secretly registering a company. The required capital just happens to

be the amount she needs for the operation.” Patricia handed a document to

Nicole.

Nicole smirked scornfully as she looked at the contents of the document. “So she cheated Grandpa’s money for this.”

“Damien lost NandoCorp, so she’s trying to take it back this way?” Patricia

frowned.

“It’s probably more than that.” Nicole’s gaze turned cold.’ Turns out, Chloe is

quite the scheming person too.’

If Chloe could successfully register this company, it would become an obstacle

for the Riddle Corporation. Chloe’s intentions were not as simple as they

seemed.

Looking at the company that Chloe was preparing to register, the entire project was a complete imitation of everything that the Riddle Corporation already had.

It was almost like she was ready to compete with Riddle Corporation.

“Do you mean she’s also trying to get a piece of the Riddle family’s assets?”

Patricia’s face darkened slightly. “Can she even do that?”

“She doesn’t just want a piece, I’m afraid she wants it all,” Nicole sneered. Well,

it would depend on whether Chloe had the capability.

“Is she out of her mind?!” Patricia was surprised. Even if she successfully

registered the company, a newly established

small company would not be able to compete with Riddle Corporation!

“Others can’t, but maybe Chloe can.” Nicole’s eyes turned cold. ‘Because someone will help her.”

MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2625-Patricia frowned. “Ms. Nicole, are you referring to Harvey or Everett?”

At this point, the only people who could help Chloe were Harvey and Everett.

“Harvey won’t.” Nicole shook her head. She felt that he was more likely to help

her.

At this point, if Harvey helped Chloe, it would only spell trouble for himself.

Harvey was not that foolish.

On the other hand, it would be much easier for Everett. He was still hiding with

Lawrence and had not shown himself anywhere. As long as he secretly

contacted Chloe, he had the capability to help her.

Unfortunately, both siblings had their own agendas. Even if they cooperated,

they were both scheming. Success might not lead to good results for them, and

Nicole would not let them succeed anyway.

“Ms. Nicole, what should we do?” If it was Everett secretly helping Chloe, should

they give Chloe the opportunity, making Everett think he had succeeded, or

should they immediately go after Chloe, forcing Everett to reveal himself?

“Everett won’t dare show up for now. Just keep an eye on Chloe,” Nicole said

confidently.

If Everett appeared now, he would be digging his own grave. So, Everett would

not be foolish enough to reveal himself at this point.

“Understood,” Patricia agreed cautiously.

In other words, they only needed to deal with Chloe now and did not have to

consider Everett. However, they needed to take Everett into consideration when

they were dealing with Chloe.

“Okay, you may leave now.” Nicole showed a hint of satisfaction as she thought,

‘Patricia is very capable indeed.’

“Sure.”

After Patricia left, Nicole flipped through the documents in her hand before

throwing them aside and started processing other files.

The sun was blazing hot during their lunch break.

Nicole was leaning against the sofa, seemingly contemplating something.

Hearing a knock on the door, she replied, “Come in.”

She was expecting Patricia, but it turned out to be Ellar.

“Hey, Nicole.” Ellar placed a cold drink on the coffee table, saying, “I bought it from the shop downstairs. It’s a new flavor, try it.”

“That’s thoughtful of you. Thank you.” Nicole took the drink and sipped it.

Ellar sat down and said, “Nicole, I actually came to thank you. My project has

been accepted.”

“That’s great!” Nicole smiled.

“It went so smoothly, and it’s all thanks to your help. Otherwise, I might’ve been done for,” Ellar said excitedly.

Nicole assured him, “But it’s also because of me that you were affected.”

If it were not for her, Harvey would not have targeted BayCorp. Besides, Harvey

probably would not even have paid attention to BayCorp, as they had just

started to show promise.

“Nicole, what do you have in mind exactly?” Ellar leaned over with curiosity,

lowering his voice.

Nicole was caught off guard. “Huh?”

Ellar said in a mysterious tone, “About the cooperation with Harvey.”

He thought that Nicole must have her own plan. After all, Nicole would never compromise with Harvey.

Upon hearing those words, Nicole glanced at Ellar with a smile. “You found out.”

“Of course. I might not know the inside story, but I know how you do things.”

Ellar chuckled, somewhat pleased.

Nicole gave Ellar a slight smile and said, “It’s nothing. Just focus on your own

work.”

“Alright then.” She did not seem willing to talk, so Ellar did not ask further.

“Also, be careful in the future. Don’t participate in any projects related to the Ellison Group,” Nicole solemnly advised.

“Okay, got it,” Ellar said cautiously.

He knew that Nicole was worried about him, and he naturally did not want to

hold Nicole back.
