Ch. 2636..2640: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2636-2640
Chapter 2636
Chloe’s heart raced, and deep within, she realized that this was only the
beginning of Nicole’s entire show.
“Do you know why I assigned Martin to be the assistant surgeon?” Nicole
continued.
“Of course, you did it to slander Chloe,” Miley spat as Chloe kept her silence.
Nicole’s laughter filled the room, sending chills down everyone’s spine. She
turned to look Chloe in the eye as she scrutinized her expression. There, she
noticed Chloe’s breathing was labored, as if she was nervous about something.
After that, Nicole spoke again, “Ghost Hand, as they are aptly named, has a
unique hand technique when he’s performing his operations, but for you guys to
say that they are not quite comfortable operating while others are present is a
little…’
Nicole paused for a moment, and that was when she noticed that everyone was
looking at her.
Smirking, she stated, “Ghost Hand only uses their own surgical equipment.”
Hearing that, everyone around the operation theater was stunned. “What?!”
Nicole had ushered Martin over and gotten him to examine Ghost Hand’s
surgical equipment before the operation even started and just like that, the
scheme had unfolded itself.
“If someone isn’t able to recognize this…,’ Nicole said, trailing off mid-sentence
as she dangled the James Dade card in front of her. “This is James Dade’s
access pass, and with this, you are unconditionally permitted to work on any
illnesses you could ever think of.”
“Why do you have this with you?” Martin asked, his eyes widening in shock.
‘Does she actually know James Dade on a personal level?’
In turn, Nicole shrugged. “I helped him once a long time ago. He gave this to me
as a token of thanking me.”
“This thing is an incredibly rare object held in high esteem around the world.
How could you easily obtain it? It must be fake,” Miley waved, unconvinced by
what Nicole had said.
“Miley, you can’t come up with a lie to accuse others of forging fake evidence
while you yourself are doing the same, ” Karen piled in.
“Shut up! What do you even know?!” Miley shouted. ‘They just came here to
watch the drama. They weren’t even here to help!”
“Exactly, I have no idea, so I’m asking if you do,’ Karen replied as she turned to
Mr. Riddle Sr.
Karen then added, “Dad, we’ve never seen a miracle doctor in action before, but
it seems to me that there will always be someone who knows a thing or two
about miracle doctors.”
Everyone had the same thought in their minds. ‘Why bother going through all
the trouble if we know someone who knows everything?’
“No need to ask, it is authentic for sure,” Mr. Riddle Sr. said as he looked Nicole
in the eye, having reached a mutual understanding.
Mr. Riddle Sr. had just found out himself that the card Nicole was holding was
the exact same card he had heard about in tales.
“This…,” Karen paused as her eyes lit up and met Mr. Riddle Sr., confirming the
truth of the James Dade card.
Though her mind had wandered, Karen had never suspected that the card was
a fake.
“It’s a shame, really,’ Nicole sighed. “Although I’ve got this, I can no longer
contact this miracle doctor. Otherwise, I would have asked him to save me when
I was near death.”
The card was basically meaningless; she could not contact the doctor, and
having possession of the card would no longer mean that he would show up to
cure her from any injuries or illnesses.
And upon hearing that there was no doctor who could save Chloe, Miley’s heart
sank. Her last glimpse of hope faded just like that.
Chapter 2637
Upon catching a glimpse of Miley’s expression, Nicole immediately understood
what Miley had conveyed. ‘I would be stupid to use this diabolical mother and
daughter duo.’
“Even if you do know about miracle doctors, how did you manage to find out
about the Ghost Hand’s signature habits? ” Chloe frowned, feeling that Nicole
was doing all of this to ruin her.
“Why would you suspect me?” Nicole asked, pretending as if she was oblivious
to her questions.
Choking with anger, Chloe yelled, “You…!’
She gritted her teeth, knowing that there was no way she could refute the claim.
“Why is my life in such a sorry state?!
I thought I had finally found the Ghost Hand, and yet, all I’ve gotten is an
imposter!”
Miley then joined in on the crying as she saw her daughter’s bloodshot eyes
welling up. “Don’t worry, Chloe. We won’t give up, even if we’ve been cheated
this time.”
Nicole, who was far from done with them, turned to them and said, “Hold up. I
think you haven’t finished what you started.”
‘Does she really think she can get this over with by scapegoating the fake Ghost
Hand? How can she be this naive? Does she think we’re all that gullible? Well,
too bad because I won’t let her get away with this,’ she thought.
Chloe’s face blanched as Nicole called her out. “I don’t have anything else to
say!”
“Oh, don’t you worry about it, Chloe. Regardless of whether it is the truth or not,
just tell us,” Nicole said with a smirk on her face.
With her stomach churning, Chloe shot Miley a glance before she clutched her
temples. “Oh gosh, I’m feeling really light-headed.”
“Is this the side effect of the anesthesia? You just woke up and you’ve already
blabbered so much. How could your body bear with this?!” Miley cried and
shouted in distress.
“Oh my, take care of yourself, then. Please excuse us as Grandpa and I will do
the same as well,” Nicole calmly stated.
She did not want to sit in for the drama that Chloe and Miley were about to
reenact.
This left Chloe purple with rage. ‘How dare she throw that kind of bullshit at me?
What am I supposed to do? Agree to it?’
“Nicole, what do you wish to say?” Mr. Riddle Sr. asked as he noticed that
Nicole was beating around the bush.
Judging from Miley and Chloe’s actions, Mr. Riddle Sr. assumed that they
themselves were unclear of anything that had happened hours ago. ‘What could
they be hiding?’
“Grandpa, come take a look at this.” Nicole gestured as Patricia handed a piece
of document over to Mr. Riddle Sr.
Mr. Riddle Sr. skimmed through the document, after which a grimace crossed
his face. “Are you registering a company?”
Chloe’s heart plummeted to the bottom of her stomach. No way Nicole had
discovered this. Does that mean she had been privy to my plans all along?’
Chloe gritted her teeth as she glared at Nicole sideways, ‘So I guess everything
had been arranged for a show. She knew how everything was about to unfold.’
“How did she find out? What now?” Miley panicked, bombarding Chloe with a
list of questions in a hushed tone.
There, Chloe sat, petrified and not knowing what to do next.

Her mind was constantly reminding her not to fess up to her mistakes.
Chloe then took a deep breath before looking at Mr. Riddle Sr. “Grandpa, I think
there’s a mistake. How can I run a company by myself?”
“You’re already in the process of getting approval. Tell me, how can we get this
wrong? The audit department?” Nicole snorted, her eyes frosty as she glared at
Chloe.
Chapter 2638
Nicole’s calmness took Chloe aback, surprising her.
“Yeah, if you weren’t the one who submitted the information, how did it get
there? Did it submit itself?” Karen smirked, the resentment in her heart causing
her to make things worse for both Miley and Chloe.
In the context of registering their own company and getting treatment for a
chronic illness, neither of these were issues in of themselves. However, they
had chosen to enlist a fake doctor to help them with the registration process,
and that was a different story altogether.
“Dad, I think there must’ve been some sort of misunderstanding between us.
Can’t we go through this together. After all, we can’t just listen to one side of the
story,” Miley begged.
“Miley, are you saying that Nicole is framing both you and your daughter? I
mean I don’t even listen to the one-sided stories of others, so why should I listen
to yours?” Karen sneered.
“Everyone, shut the f*ck up!” Damien shouted, startling Karen.
Then, Karen shot back, “What are you screaming at? This is just embarrassing!”
Damien took a deep breath, before turning to look at Mr. Riddle Sr. “Dad, I think
this matter should be investigated
thoroughly. You need to find out if the company has been registered
successfully or not. There might be a misunderstanding of sorts.”
“Damien, are you sure that the company hasn’t been successfully registered? I
mean, once the operation has been done, won’t you have already received the
sum in the transaction?” Dillion asked, trying to instigate a heated discussion.
“What kind of nonsense are you spewing? The purpose of this operation was to
treat Chloe. You’re her uncle, for goodness’s sake! Don’t you have an ounce of
sympathy seeing her like this, possibly for the rest of her life?” Damien, who was
crestfallen, bellowed.
“Cut the crap. She’s the way she is today due to her own actions. Stop making it
seem like it wasn’t her fault,” Karen retorted.
Everything that had happened to Chloe had nothing to do with them. It was only
right for Chloe to deal with the consequences of her actions.
Struck with a headache of having to listen to his children and grandchildren
bickering, “Shut up! Everyone!”
Everyone in the operation theater immediately fell silent, and they all turned to
look at Mr. Riddle Sr.
Mr. Riddle Sr. paused for a moment, after which he said,” Since there has been
a miscommunication between us all, let’s lodge a police report on this.”
“Call the police!” Karen shrieked.
‘No, you can’t call the police on us. Once the police discover that the doctor is a
phony, we’re all done for,’ Chloe panicked.
“Grandpa…,” Chloe coughed, before spewing out a mouthful of blood and
passing out.
Pale as a ghost, Miley hovered over Chloe with a horrified look on her face.
“Chloe! What’s wrong?!”
“Doc! Doc! We need help!”
Nicole peered over and narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Chloe. She was unsure
of what had happened during that heat of a moment. However, she was quite
certain that Chloe passing out was not an act.
“Let me have a look,” Martin said as he stepped forward to check on Chloe.
“Dr. Wyance, you have to save her,” Miley panicked.
She did not know why Chloe had abruptly spewed blood and passed out and
was genuinely worried that something serious might have really happened to
Chloe.
“Let me take a look. Please make some space for me. I have to check on her,”
Martin said, as he was unsure of Chloe’s condition.
Miley quickly stepped out of the way so Martin could walk over and check on
Chloe.
After conducting a basic examination, however, he could not find the cause for
Chloe’s condition. ‘None of this was staged.’
Chapter 2639
Meanwhile, the doctors and nurses who were stationed outside the operation
theater heard the commotion and busted inside.
“She suddenly vomited blood and then fainted. Her vitals are stable, we might
need a further examination to find out the cause…/ Martin instructed from his
deductions following the examination.
As Martin had no proper equipment in his disposal, he had no choice but to
diagnose her based on his experiences and leave the rest to the hospital for
more accurate results.
“Okay,” the doctor replied as he and his nurses rushed to push Chloe to the
Emergency Room.
Miley followed closely from behind, and the operation theater soon fell silent
once more.
“Dad, what should we do with this person?” Karen asked, as she pointed at,
‘Ghost Hand,’ the imposter.
“Leave him to the police. We’ll wait until Chloe wakes up before we proceed with
anything else.” Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed.
Dillion knew that it was useless to refute, instead he soothed Mr. Riddle Sr.,
“Why don’t you head back and get some rest first?”
“Yeah, Dad. You must be exhausted. Go back and have some rest first,” agreed
Damien.
However, it was as clear as day that the two brothers still had a score to settle.
It was then that Dillion shot a glance at Damien and continued, “Don’t worry. I’ll
stay here and take care of things.
If there are any new updates, I’ll be the first to inform you.”
Hearing that, Damien immediately turned over to glare at Dillion.
However, Dillion remained unfazed. ‘I can’t let these people step right over me.’
“Grandpa, I think it’s best that you head back to get some rest,” Nicole advised,
noticing that Mr. Riddle Sr. was not looking too good.
“Okay,” Mr. Riddle Sr. agreed, heeding what she had to say.
Besides, there was no point in him staying there either.
“Mr. Riddle Sr., let’s get going/ Alfred said as he helped Mr. Riddle Sr. out of the
hospital.
“Uncle Dillion, Aunt Karen? Are you guys intending on staying here?” Nicole
asked as she looked at the two of them.
In response, Dillon nodded. “Yes, we’ll stay here and keep an eye on things.
Don’t worry, we’ll be able to handle it.”
With that said, it was quite obvious that Dillion was determined to keep his eye
on Damien. He had to see what Damien was going to do during a time like this.
“Okay. In that case, you guys can stay,” Nicole said, and
strode out of the room with Martin by her side.
This took Dillion aback, who stood still for a moment.’ That… was easy?’
“Hey, what do you think you’re doing? Running away?” Karen’s voice echoed
through the room, snapping Dillion back to his senses.
Dillion quickly whirled around to see that ‘Ghost Hand’ was trying to slip away.
“We’ve already called the cops. They’ll be here in no time. I’d suggest you
cooperate, or you’ll be in for some jail time.”
“I’m begging you guys to let me go. I really am not sure of what is going on
here,” the fake Ghost Hand pleaded.
He was trembling. All he wanted to do was to make a quick buck, and yet it had
all blown up in his face.
“You can tell that to the cops later,” Karen said, having no intention of letting the
fake Ghost Hand go.
It was not long before the police arrived and arrested the imposter, during which
Dillion and Karen both issued a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, Damien was fuming
mad at the sight of Dillion and Karen walking away.
‘Those two must’ve stayed here deliberately to dig a bigger hole for us to die in.
What benefit could they reap out of this?
‘ Damien wondered.
Meanwhile, Nicole and Martin had just gotten into the car.
“What are you thinking about?” Martin asked Nicole.
“I think I might’ve overestimated myself,” Nicole replied with a blank,
emotionless look.
‘Chloe vomiting blood and passing out might be real, but she could have
induced it herself,’ she thought.
Martin’s expression darkened. “I noticed her pulse was irregular when I was
performing the basic checkup on her. It’s very likely that she might’ve taken
something before this.”
Nicole sneered. “I think so as well.”
Nicole had not foreseen that such an occurrence would happen, and on top of
that, she did not anticipate that Chloe would go to such lengths to get what she
wanted.
Chapter 2640
“How can we allow her to weasel her way out of this so easily, Miss Riddle?
Especially now that we have compiled so much evidence to use against her…,”
Patricia complained with a frown on her face.
‘Perhaps she wouldn’t have to explain herself if she never regained
consciousness,’ Patricia thought.
After a moment of consideration, Nicole furrowed her brows. “I think she’s doing
this to stall for some time for herself.”
‘What else could she hope to do? Her fake doctor was caught red handed, and
the investigation has been handed over to the police. Everyone knows about the
registration of her company now, so what more does she think she could do?’
Noticing that Nicole was deep in thought, Martin asked,” What are you thinking
about?”
Nicole shook her head. “It’s nothing.”
She did not want to trouble Martin anymore as he had been of great help in
today’s affairs.
And as Martin noticed that Nicole was unwilling to share, he decided to leave it
and stop pressing her with more questions.
Upon arriving at the headquarters of the Riddle Corporation, Martin turned to
Nicole and reassured, “I’ll tell you how things are once the results are out.”
Nicole, in turn, gave Martin a weak smile. “Thank you.”
‘Perhaps he can’t be of much help with other things but he sure as hell is handy
when it comes to anything related to medicine,’ Nicole thought.
“You’re welcome. You can come to me if there’s anything you need.” Martin
smiled.
With a beaming smile, Nicole replied, “I will, don’t worry.”
Martin slowly pulled away from the lobby as he saw Nicole disappearing into the
building. She had just entered her office when Sean and Steve barged in.
“How was it?!”
“Um…the results won’t be out so soon.” Nicole sighed.
“It didn’t go as planned?” Steve asked with a look of surprise on his face. ‘How
could things not go according to our plan? We have prepared everything right!’
“What happened?” Sean asked, serious and unsmiling.
With that, Nicole quickly filled Sean and Steve in on the details of the events
that had transpired earlier.
“I still think that Chloe vomiting blood and passing out so suddenly is some sort
of an act, but either way, she won’t get away with it so easily. Her approach
when it comes to evading this confrontation is rather futile, in all honesty,” Nicole
finished.
Nicole could not shake the feeling that Chloe had other plans up her sleeve.
Otherwise, she would not have pulled a stunt of such nature.
‘What can Chloe do? We have all the evidence that points directly at her
attempting to defraud Grandpa of the money he was about to give her for
treatment to set her own company up!’ she fumed.
“Let’s keep an eye on her for now,” Sean concluded as he got up from his seat.
“Dillion and Karen are there at the moment to keep an eye on them, but I don’t
think they’ll be of much use,’ Nicole stated as she looked up at her brothers.
“You know what? Let’s just forget it. We should take matters into our own
hands.”
‘If Chloe is trying to weasel her way out through her backup plan, we should be
ready to suppress every move she makes, ‘ Nicole thought to herself.
“Okay, let’s just wait and see what her next moves are,” Sean agreed, before
leaving Nicole’s office with Steve in tow.
“Miss Riddle? This is from the Ellison Group,” Nicole’s secretary informed as
she handed her a document.
“Thanks,” Nicole grabbed the document, and the secretary left shortly thereafter.
Upon opening the document, Nicole frowned at the sight of the content.
“Miss Riddle. Is something wrong?” Patricia asked, noticing that there was a
grimace on Nicole’s face.
“A ribbon cutting ceremony, two days from now. Harvey has invited us to
attend,” Nicole summarized as she placed the document down on the table.
Following Nicole’s announcement, everyone in the room began to feel a sense
of frustration.
Confused, Patricia asked, “A ribbon cutting ceremony?”
Nicole rubbed her temples, a headache surfacing. “I have to give it to him. He’s
the only one who would come up with something so frivolous.”
