Ch. 2656..2660: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2656-2660

Chapter 2656

Her intentions of not wanting to interfere with his work were genuine.

But there was another reason, and it was that his presence made her feel uncomfortable.

“You haven’t had breakfast, right? I’ll go and buy something.” Stanley could sense that Tia was beginning to feel uncomfortable, so he got up and left.

Tia quietly heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing Stanley leave, her energy seemed to improve.

“Tia!” a loud yell sounded.

As Tia looked up, she was shocked by what she saw.

“Sir, what are you doing here?” “I’ve told you before, don’t call me ‘sir’,” Martin said, sounding annoyed as he entered the room.

“Just like how you call Nicole, you can call me Martin.” “Martin.” It sounded a bit forced, but Tia called him by his name.

Martin scanned their surroundings and saw that no one was there.

“Tia, you’re sick.

Are you here on your own?” “It was Stanley who brought me here,” Tia explained.

Martin immediately understood the situation.

“Oh, so it’s Stanley.

Where is he?” He could not have possibly dropped her off and left her alone, right? “He went to get breakfast.” Tia seemed to be uncomfortable.

Those words that she had just uttered sounded wrong on a certain level.

While they chatted, Stanley returned.

He was shocked to find Martin there.

”1 see he’s back with breakfast in hand.

I won’t interrupt your mealtime then.” As Martin spoke, he was getting ready to leave.

He paused to inform Tia, “If you need any help, you can always get the nurses to call me.” Tia was shocked.

“Call you? Are you working here?” “I’m here for an exchange programme that’s going on for two days.

So I’m stationed here,” Martin explained.

“Oh, I see.” It was no wonder why she bumped into Martin.

Martin smiled and turned to look at Stanley.

He gave Stanley a nod and left.

Stanley could not help but frown.

But he soon regained his composure.

He handed the breakfast to Tia and said, “Make sure you eat something.

You can’t function on an empty stomach.” “Thank you, sir.” “How did he know that you’re here?” asked Stanley, pretending to be casual.

“Who?” Tia was stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant.

“You mean Martin?” Stanley could not help but narrow his eyes.

‘She’s referring to him by his first name already?’ “Yeah,” he said, trying his best to appear calm.

“I guess he was passing by and saw me by coincidence,” Tia explained.

After all, she had just found out that Martin was here for a program.

He would not have known that she was admitted to the hospital as well, so everything was a pure coincidence.

Hearing this, Stanley did not question her further.

Instead, he changed the topic of conversation.

“Here, have some food.” “Sir, would you like some?” Tia asked.

Hearing the word ‘sir’, Stanley frowned.

“I’ve already eaten.

You can have it,” said Stanley, getting up and sitting on the sofa.

He wanted to give Tia some personal space, hoping that she would be less nervous.

Tia bit her lip lightly.

She picked up a fork and began to eat.

The food made her feel warm and her body felt lighter.

Her face also seemed to be relaxed.

Stanley looked at Tia happily.

The look in his eyes made him seem deep in thought.

Chapter 2657

At Riddle Corporation, Nicole arrived at the company building and entered her office.

“Ms. Riddle, we’ve made some progress in our project with Ellison Group,” said Patricia, placing a document in front of Nicole.

Looking at the details on the document, Nicole seemed to be satisfied.

“Great, it looks good.” “Will Harvey follow our plan?” Patricia asked worriedly.

After all, he was not a kind-hearted person if he could get his hands on the Ellison Group.

“It doesn’t matter.

If he notices it, we’ll come up with another plan.

If he doesn’t realize it, we’ll just act according to plan.” Nicole smiled coldly.

If Harvey wanted to create more problems for her, Nicole would let him make the first move.

She wanted to see if Harvey still had the energy for that.

“Noted.

I’ll send someone to keep an eye on him,” Patricia replied firmly.

By keeping an eye on Riddle Corporation, it would ease their plan for what’s to come.

Nicole placed the document to one side and turned to look at Patricia.

“How’s Chloe?” “Oh, she has been discharged from the hospital,” Patricia answered.

“She recovered pretty quickly,” Nicole said in a mocking tone.

“Miley had successfully entered.

Of course, there’d be no reason for Chloe to continue her act in the hospital.” Patricia snorted.

Everyone knew clearly what Chloe’s tactics were.

“Make sure to keep an eye on her.

She won’t sit still.” Nicole’s eyes were cold.

“Noted.” For someone who was evil, Chloe would never back down until she achieved her goal.

“You may leave now.” Then, Nicole grabbed the document beside her and began to focus on her work.

Patricia turned around and left to work on Nicole’s commands.

Meanwhile, Chloe was sitting in the living room while appearing to be deep in thought.

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from the door, she looked over to see who it was.

Her voice immediately turned cold.

“How was it?” “She admitted to all the charges and was taken into custody, ” Kelly said softly.

“What about the rest?” Chloe gritted her teeth.

“Basically, everything has been solved.

With the confession and the forged doctor’s letter, you’re safe,” Kelly continued to explain.

Chloe took a deep breath.

“Now that things have ended up this way, we’ll have to go with the flow.” Chloe could not get into any more trouble.

If she did, all of her plans would be futile.

Her family would lose their chance, including her.

Kelly hesitated for a moment and reminded Chloe in a soft voice, “Ms.

Chloe, it’s actually quite easy to tackle Nicole.” Giving her the side-eye, Chloe asked, “What do you mean?” “Well, you see, we don’t really have much support because your family has lost their status and everything.

But Nicole has everything.

As long as we get a hold of the thing she cares about the most, she might not be the same,” Kelly whispered sneakily.

“You mean…” Chloe thought about it.

‘Find out Nicole’s weakness.’ “That’s right.

The more she cares about it, the more beneficial it is for us.” Kelly’s eyes were glimmering.

It seemed like Chloe understood what she wanted to express.

Chloe gave it some thought and nodded satisfactorily.” You’re right.” ‘If that’s the case, I guess Nicole wouldn’t be able to frame me.

We’ll see if she’ll give up everything…”

 

Chapter 2658

As the sun set, Nicole and Jared picked their children up.

When the kids heard that Tia had been admitted to the hospital, they requested to visit her.

As Nicole was also worried about Tia’s condition, she agreed to their request.

They bought some fruits and went to the hospital ward.

“Nicole!” Tia was surprised to see Nicole and the family there.

They went out of their way to visit her! “How are you feeling now?” Nicole asked in concern.

“I’m feeling much better now,” Tia replied.

“Ms. Tia, I’m glad you’re feeling better.

We’re all worried about you.” Nolan and Lana surrounded Tia by the bedside, wearing sad expressions.

Tia smiled.

She seemed to be more energetic when she saw the little kids.

“I’m fine now.

You guys don’t have to worry about me.

You see, I took the drip and some medicine.

I’m all better now,” she said, to comfort them.

“Ms. Tia, please recover soon.

We prefer it when you fetch us for school,” said Lana, shaking Tia’s arms lightly.

“Sure.

I’ll be out of this hospital tomorrow.

Then, I’ll be able to fetch the two of you.” Tia smiled warmly.

Nolan noticed that Tia was alone, so he casually asked,” Where’s Uncle Stanley? Isn’t he supposed to be here to take care of you?” “He had to pick up a call just now, so he went out,” Tia explained.

She only knew that Stanley stepped out to take a call.

She did not have any further details.

“Could Uncle Stanley be facing any problems?” Lana asked innocently.

Nolan frowned and thought.

‘Even if Uncle Stanley had any problems, he shouldn’t leave Ms. Tia alone.

What’s wrong with him?’ “What a huge crowd we have here!” a loud yell sounded in the room.

Stanley brought a lady into the room.

Looking at the guest, Nolan and Lana exclaimed.

‘ Ms. Jean!” Nicole knew that it was Cherry Jean based on the voice.

She began to observe Cherry’s body language.

‘So, it was Cherry who called Stanley on the phone.

Then, he brought her over.

Does he really have feelings for this girl now?’ “Mr. Johnston, Ms. Riddle.” Cherry obviously recognized Nicole and Jared.

So, she was very serious as she greeted them.

“Ms. Jean.” Although it was Nicole’s first time meeting her, she was sure that this lady was Cherry Jean.

“You’re being too formal.

You may refer to me as Cherry.” She smiled and explained, “I’m here to visit Tia, but I didn’t expect to see a crowd.” “You knew that she’s ill?” Nicole asked casually.

“Yeah, I found out during our call today,” Cherry replied calmly.

Nicole turned to look at Stanley.

He quickly explained, “She called Tia.

She called me just now because she could not find the ward.” Confused, Nicole blinked her eyes.

Since when did Tia and Cherry become friends? The situation at that moment was messy.

“Nicole, Jared, you’re here to visit Tia?” Martin’s voice sounded.

Nicole looked back at the door and exclaimed, “Martin! What are you doing here?” “I’m here for an exchange program these few days.

But I coincidentally bumped into Tia,” Martin explained as he walked in.

“I’m getting ready to get off work now, but I thought of visiting Tia.

If she’s fine, I’m going to head home.” “Oh, I see.” Nicole smiled.

“We’re also here to visit Tia.

Especially Nolan and Lana.

They were worried about Tia.”

 

Chapter 2659

“They’re used to Tia bringing them to school, so there’s no doubt they’re dependent on her.” Martin smiled and approached Tia’s bedside.

“How are you feeling?” “I feel much better now.

I could be discharged tomorrow,” Tia replied.

“May I ask who this is?” Cherry found Martin familiar, but she just could not recognize him.

“His name is Martin, and he’s in the medical profession,” Tia introduced.

She did not mention Martin’s background as he did not like to brag about it outside.

“Her name is Cherry, Stanley’s…” Tia paused and changed what she was going to say.

“She’s Stanley’s friend.” Tia originally wanted to say Cherry was Stanley’s girlfriend, but Tia did not know if Stanley wanted to make the information public, so she paused before saying it out loud.

“Hi.” Cherry instantly remembered when she heard Martin’s name, but she played along and did not expose his hidden identity.

“Hi there,” Martin responded, looking at Stanley meaningfully.

Noticing Tia’s pause, Martin analyzed that even if Cherry were not Stanley’s girlfriend, Cherry would not be Stanley’s normal colleague either.

It was the first time Martin saw a girl together with Stanley.

Martin had no interest in identifying the relationship between Stanley and Cherry.

He was just curious since Stanley used to take good care of Tia.

Martin wondered if it was just pure concern for Tia.

Cherry was also silently eyeing Martin.

‘Tia called him by his name.

What relationship do they have? Tia seemed to give him special treatment and called his name.’ “Ms. Jean, thank you so much for visiting me.

Actually, I feel all better now,” Tia thanked.

Snapping back to reality, Cherry chuckled.

“Don’t sweat it.

We’re friends after all.” She then placed a fruit basket on Tia’s bedside.

“Here you go, a little something for you.” “Thank you.” “One more thank you, and we’re not friends anymore,” said Cherry, acting angry.

Tia replied uneasily, “That’s not what I meant, Ms. Jean.” “Oh, come on.

Stop calling me Ms. Jean, call me Cherry instead.” Cherry laughed.

“That’s what my friends call me.” Nicole saw through Cherry’s every move and she kind of liked her personality.

“Well, this…” Tia trailed off.

‘If Cherry turned out to be Stanley’s girlfriend, it wouldn’t be right for me to call her by her name directly.’ “Why the hesitation? Do you not like me?” Cherry asked seriously.

If so, she would not force Tia to be friends.

“Oh, that’s not it.

I just thought since you’re Sir Stanley’s friend, I should-“ Before Tia could finish, Cherry interrupted, “Come on.

If this is the reason, you don’t have to worry about it.

Not to mention, someone hates it when you call him that, more so than me.” “Huh?” Tia did not understand Cherry’s underlying meaning and looked at her in confusion.

Stanley, on the other hand, understood instantly and stopped Cherry.

“It’s about time.

I’ll see you out.” “You’re taking care of her tonight?” Cherry teased meaningfully, raising her eyebrow.

“Ms. Jean, don’t get him wrong.

Sir Stanley isn’t-” Knowing Tia was going to explain, Stanley interrupted, “Yes, I’m staying back tonight.” Cherry said complacently, with her eyebrow raised.

“Then I won’t bother you guys further.” Bidding farewell to everyone, Cherry gladly started to leave.

She called out to Stanley, “Well, I’ll be troubling you to see me out then.” “No problem.

Come on,” Stanley said.

Then he left with Cherry.

Chapter 2660

“Well that was…?” Martin turned to Nicole after noticing the weird atmosphere between Cherry and Stanley. He looked eager for gossip.

Nicole had no choice but to disappoint him. “Cherry Jean.”

Martin pressed his lips together and responded with a wry smile, “Alright then.”

Nicole did not want to dwell on the topic, so she remained silent.

“Nicole, it’s getting late. You should head home. I’ll be fine by myself.” Tia bit her lip. She hesitated before saying,” Nicole, could you take Stanley with you?”

Tia did not want Cherry to get the wrong idea, but she could not convince Stanley to leave. So she had to rely on Nicole to get Stanley home.

“I think it’s best to let Stanley decide that for himself.” Nicole shrugged. She did not want to make decisions on Stanley’s behalf and have him blame her for it later.

The situation today unraveled a mystery in her heart, and it was up to fate to decide what would happen in their future.

Tia looked surprised at Nicole, not expecting Nicole to reject her suggestion.

“Okay then, we’ll take our leave. You should rest properly.” With that reminder,

Nicole and Jared ushered their children.

“Bye-bye, Tia!”

“Bye, kids.”

Tia watched as Nicole and Jared left with the kids.

Her brain still could not grasp the situation. ‘So Stanley is staying back tonight to take care of me? Won’t Cherry misunderstand the situation?’

“I’ll accompany you until Stanley comes back,” Martin said after seeing Tia alone.

“Thanks, but I’m fine on my own,” Tia said, sounding frustrated. She knew everyone was concerned about her, but her situation was not serious. She felt that she could manage on her own. Not to mention that Stanley had been here all day and even stayed the night. If Cherry misunderstood this, Tia could be guilty of ruining Stanley’s potential marriage.

“Are you worried about Stanley?” Martin asked softly, looking at Tia’s troubled expression.

“Yeah,” Tia replied before catching herself. Blushing slightly, she clarified, “I mean, I’m just worried about how I can clear things up if Cherry misunderstands Stanley because of this.”

“So is Cherry Stanley’s girlfriend?” Martin asked, tilting his head and seizing Tia’s reaction.

“She isn’t,” Stanley’s voice sounded, holding a hint of anger.

“You’re back,” Martin said, standing up after hearing Stanley. “Then my job here is done. I’ll leave Tia to you now. See ya.”

“Take care.” Then he approached Tia’s bedside. He took a fruit knife to slice an apple for her. He had no intention of escorting Martin out.

Embarrassed, Tia looked at Martin and said, “It’s getting late. I’m sure you haven’t had your dinner. You should go back.”

“I’ll come to visit you tomorrow,” Martin promised. He looked at Stanley meaningfully before leaving.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped, and Martin smirked at the change.

The atmosphere was awkward, with only Stanley and Tia left in the room.

“Eat some apples.” Stanley regained his composure and handed the apple to Tia
