Ch. 2671..2675: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2671-2675

Chapter 2671

As the sun set in the west, painting the sky orange and red, the day transitioned into the evening.

After work, Jared picked Nicole up to go home together. Suddenly, they received a call from Tia and she sounded really anxious on the phone.

“Nicole, we’re in trouble! Oh my God, what should I do?” Tia’s voice was filled with panic.

“Hey, calm down. Take it easy and tell me what’s going on,” Nicole said, comforting her.

Tia cried. “Stanley is injured.”

Nicole was shocked. “What happened? Where are you guys?”

“We’re in the ambulance now, on the way to the hospital,” Tia explained.

“Okay, we’ll be right there,” Nicole said, forcing herself to stay calm. Hanging up the phone call, she instructed Max, ” Max, take us to the hospital. Stanley’s injured.”

“Alright,” Max said. He turned the car around and headed to the hospital.

When they arrived, Stanley was already in the emergency room. Tia and the kids were waiting outside.

“What happened?” Nicole asked Tia seriously.

“Mommy, is Uncle Stanley going to die?” Nolan and Lana seemed in shock.

They had burst into tears when they saw their parents.

Jared pulled the kids closer, and he spoke to them soothingly. “He won’t. Don’t worry. He’ll be fine.”

“Daddy!” Lana bawled.

Jared sat the kids down on the bench and comforted them.

Meanwhile, Tia was shaken. Her voice was trembling as she explained to Nicole, “Someone tried to kidnap Nolan and Lana.”

“What?!” Nicole’s expression instantly paled.

“We were ready to head home after I picked the kids up. But we encountered a group of people on the way back to the car. They stopped us and forcibly tried to take Nolan and Lana away. I was nowhere close to overpowering them. Oh my gosh, I was terrified! Fortunately, Stanley came in time. Otherwise, I can’t imagine what would’ve happened.”

Tia explained the entire incident to Nicole in detail. Stanley got injured in the fight with the group of people. Even the driver was injured and was currently being treated in the emergency room.

Tia could not help but tremble while recalling the incident. Thankfully, other people came and helped out. Otherwise, not only Stanley and the driver would have gotten hurt, but Nolan and Lana might have been taken away as well.

“Don’t worry. It’s alright now. Let’s wait and see how Stanley is doing. He’s in the emergency room now, not the ICU, which means Stanley isn’t in a life-threatening condition. I’ll take it from here,”

Nicole said. A glint of coldness flashed across her eyes. She was furious that a group of people targeted her children.

Nicole’s expression tensed when she turned to find Jared on a phone call. As she approached Jared, he ended the call.

Looking at Nicole, Jared said seriously, “You’ve found out.”

“Tia told me about what happened,” Nicole answered.

Although she was not sure of the details, she understood clearly that someone wanted to kidnap her kids. ‘No wonder the kids were terrified. Not only did someone want to kidnap them, but Stanley and the driver even got hurt to save them.’ “I have Max on the case.” Jared’s voice was icy.

“The people who helped out must be the ones you arranged for in advance, right?” Nicole asked, thinking about what Tia said. She guessed that Jared had people discreetly watch over the kids.

“Yes, they sent us a message just now,” Jared continued.” Their car was stopped by a red light. When they arrived, Stanley and the driver were already injured, but luckily they weren’t too late.”

Chapter 2672

If the people Jared hired had arrived later, the children might have been in real trouble.

“Thank goodness they were there,” Nicole said, biting her lip. Things would have become complicated if no one had helped out today.

“They’ll follow them closely in the future,” Jared informed. He already gave orders to have his people be Nolan and Lana’s driver to always be on standby.

“Alright, that’s good,” Nicole said, a determined look crossing her eyes, knowing Jared had made arrangements. As for now, they had to find out the mastermind behind this and uncover their motives.

Jared held Nicole’s hand and reassured her, “You should check on the kids.”

After experiencing the incident, Nolan and Lana were truly terrified. Besides that, they were worried about Stanley, so they needed some comfort from their mother.

Nicole bit her lip and forced herself to maintain her composure. She walked over to the kids and held them in her arms.

“Mommy, I’m scared,” the kids said, sounding distressed.

“Don’t be. Your dad will send his men to protect you,” Nicole reassured the two little ones, patting their backs.

Looking up at Nicole, Lana asked, “Does that mean Uncle Stanley will be fine too?”

“Don’t worry. Stanley is just injured. He’ll be fine.” Nicole faked a smile, trying to ease the kids’ anxiousness.

Nolan and Lana breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”

The sight of Stanley and the driver injured and bleeding had the kids really frightened and deeply concerned.

Hugging the kids, Nicole tried her best to stay calm. She did not want the kids to feel any negative emotions from her.

After a very long time, the emergency room’s door finally opened. Just as the doctor came out, Tia rushed over and asked, “How is he, doctor?”

“Although the patient is injured, it’s not life-threatening. He’ll have to be hospitalized for recuperation and treatment due to external injuries,” the doctor explained.

Tia felt a huge load lift off her chest. As tears welled up in her eyes, she murmured, “That’s good to hear.”

“Doctor, please arrange for his hospitalization.” Nicole and Jared approached, with Nolan and Lana.

“Sure.” The doctor left to prepare the paperwork, and Stanley was wheeled out of the emergency room.

Bandages stained with blood covered Stanley’s head and body. Stanley looked like a mess, but he comforted everyone, saying, “Come on, I’m fine. Just some injuries on the outside.”

“Some injuries, you say? Look at you now! The doctor said you have to be hospitalized,” Tia grumbled.

Tia was unsatisfied with Stanley’s negligent behavior and his injuries.

Meanwhile, Stanley was just shocked that Tia was worried for him.

“Nicole, I’ll go through his hospital admission. I’ll leave Stanley to you,” Tia notified, starting to leave.

However, Nicole pulled her back and objected, “I’ll go. You can take care of him.”

Seeing Tia’s evident concern for Stanley, Nicole felt that Tia would be better suited to take care of Stanley at the moment. Therefore, Nicole left to handle Stanley’s hospital admission while Tia stayed back with Stanley.

Soon, Stanley was transferred to a ward. The nurse left the ward after informing them about the precautions.

“Uncle Stanley, does it hurt?” Nolan and Lana asked softly, sitting next to his bedside. They were so concerned for him that they did not dare touch him, afraid of hurting him.

“I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt at all,” Stanley said, more concerned about the kids’ well-being than his pain.

 

Chapter 2673

Stanley’s feeble appearance made Nolan and Lana feel sad. They pouted. “It’s all because of us that you’re like that.”

“Hey, don’t worry. As long as you guys are safe, I’m content. My injuries will heal soon,” Stanley comforted.

Nicole returned from paying the bills and saw Stanley’s frail condition. So she gently took the kids away and suggested, ” Uncle Stanley needs some rest.

We’ll go home first.”

“Who’s going to take care of Uncle Stanley, then?” Lana asked worriedly.

“Tia will stay here.” Nicole gently ruffled her daughter’s hair.

“Oh.” Lana looked at Tia, feeling it was best if she stayed back to take care of Stanley.

Tia nodded her head in response. “Don’t worry, Nicole. I’ll take good care of him.”

Stanley took care of Tia when she fell sick last time. Tia would not turn a blind eye now that he was sick.

“Alright then. We’ll get going to update the family, just in case everyone gets worried. We’ll be here tomorrow morning,” Nicole explained. After making the arrangements, Nicole and the others left, leaving Tia alone with Stanley.

“Well, S-Stanley, the doctor said you need to rest properly. Ease your mind and just relax. I’ll be right here, so holler when you need me,” Tia said. She then pulled a chair closer to the bedside and sat there to accompany Stanley.

Stanley chuckled at the sight of Tia all geared up. He suggested, “Why don’t you buy something to eat?”

Tia came to the hospital right after picking the kids up. It had been quite chaotic, and Stanley assumed Tia might be starving.

Tia did not read into the question and thought he was hungry. So she agreed.

“My bad, I’m sure you’re hungry. I’ll go get some food now.”

After bringing dinner back, Stanley told Tia, “I’m not hungry. You should eat up.”

“Huh? The food is for me?” Tia asked in confusion. “I can’t finish this.”

Tia did not feel hungry at all after the incident.

“You still need to eat. Join me for dinner,” Stanley advised.

Tia thought Stanley wanted to eat, so she set a small table with their dinner and sat across from him.

Stanley felt satisfied after seeing Tia willing to eat. The two people started eating dinner in silence.

Although no one talked, the atmosphere was not awkward, as they both had some things on their minds.

Stanley was so happy deep down that Tia had started calling him ‘Stanley’ like a friend. He no longer had to appear before her with the ‘young master’ label, and he felt their relationship slowly developing.

Tia too, was eating absentmindedly. She was thinking about the moments when Stanley protected her and the kids. At that moment, Tia tried her best to shield the kids in her arms. However, the thugs grew

agitated, and one of them swung a wooden bat at them. It was Stanley who protected her and took the hit. Tia figured it was painful.

Subconsciously, Tia looked at Stanley to find his eyes on her. Her face instantly blushed, and she quickly shifted her gaze.

Stanley smirked and continued eating.

Tia breathed a sigh of relief in secret after sensing Stanley had shifted his focus away from her.

Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared were back at their home with the kids.

“How’s Stanley?” Gloria asked anxiously after seeing that the family was back.

Chapter 2674

Don’t worry, Mom. He’s fine now, but he has to be hospitalized due to his injuries. So he’ll be in the hospital for these two days,” Nicole explained.

“What happened?” Daniel asked in concern.

Nicole bit her lip. She avoided some important details, and talked about the minor parts. “Dad, we’re still on the case. I believe we’ll soon find out.”

“You have to investigate it through and through,” Daniel said solemnly.

Instinctively, he knew things were not simple this time.

“We will,” Nicole promised.

“Let the kids stay at home for a few days,” Gloria suggested, still having a lingering fear for the kids’ safety.

Although Gloria and Daniel were uncertain of the incident, they knew it happened on the way back after picking Nolan and Lana back from school.

“Don’t worry. I got my people to be their drivers,” Jared informed.

Hearing that, Daniel understood that Jared and Nicole might not want the kids to stop school. So he compromised.” Alright then. We were thinking of changing the driver after the current one got hurt.”

Jared’s men were not ordinary people. They could ensure the children’s safety.

“Yes, we’ll take good care of their safety,” Nicole said with determination. Nolan and Lana were everything to them.

“Is Tia in the hospital with Stanley?” Gloria asked after noticing Tia’s absence.

“Yes, she stayed back,” Nicole answered. Tia was indeed the most suitable one to take care of Stanley, especially since it was Tia’s own choice.

“Alright, with her looking after Stanley, we can be at ease.” Gloria sighed. The sudden event had been quite distressing for them.

Nicole looked at the deserted dining room and asked,” Mom, Dad, have you had dinner yet?”

“I didn’t have the appetite,” Gloria said while shaking her head. They were worried sick while staying in the house.

Nicole comforted them. “Well, everything’s fine now. You should have something. Don’t exhaust yourself.”

“I really can’t eat anything now,” Gloria rejected. She still had a heavy heart, feeling concerned.

“What about some simple noodles? We haven’t eaten yet. You should eat with us,” Nicole said. She then instructed the house butler to prepare some food.

To be frank, no one had the appetite to eat, but they had to eat to deal with future matters. Only by taking care of themselves could they handle the upcoming events.

The food was soon prepared, and everyone ate a little before heading back to their rooms.

Looking at Gloria and Daniel’s worn-out appearance, Nicole knew that today’s incident took a toll on them.

“Prepare some soothing tea for them,” Nicole told the house butler. She was quite worried about Gloria.

“Sure,” the house butler replied.

Sensing Gloria’s unusualness, the children asked, “Mommy, is Grandma not feeling well?”

Nicole patted their heads and explained, “Your grandma is just worried for Stanley. She’ll be alright.”

“Let’s go keep Grandma company then,” they said.

“Your grandma needs rest too. You two should go to bed,” Nicole told them and tucked them in.

Though the children were concerned about Gloria, sending them to Gloria now would just prevent her from resting.

Chapter 2675

Nicole and Jared accompanied the kids to bed for a long time before the kids were soundly asleep.

Back in their room, Nicole sighed with concern. “The kids were terrified by today’s event.”

“They’ll get better,” Jared reassured, patting Nicole’s back.

Looking at Jared, Nicole frowned and asked, “Who do you think could be behind this?”

The only culprit Nicole could think of was Harvey. At the same time, she felt Harvey would not be that reckless and stupid to do such a thing. However, other than Harvey, Nicole could not think of another candidate. She did not know anyone else in San Joto trying to mess with her. She could deduce that today’s incident was ultimately targeted at her, but she could not figure out the mastermind.

‘Lawrence?!’ As this thought crossed her mind, Nicole instantly dismissed the idea. She refused to believe that Lawrence would hurt her kids. If it was not Lawrence either, Nicole could only think of the people who hunted her down when she first came back to San Joto. ’Could it be that group of people got impatient after not finding any clues?’ “Let’s wait for Max’s investigation results. There’s no point guessing now with no leads.” Jared comforted Nicole, holding her hand and bringing her to the bed.

“Get some rest. Maybe we’ll find out more tomorrow.”

“Yeah, alright,” Nicole replied. She lay down on the bed, but she just could not sleep.

Jared gently held Nicole in his arms, feeling her restlessness. Knowing she could not sleep, he landed a soft kiss on her forehead and reassured her, “We’re capable of protecting them.”

Jared could understand Nicole’s anxiousness. When Nicole first got back to San Joto, she was chased away. Someone suddenly appeared to kidnap her children. Jared knew Nicole was worried for them.

“Yeah,” Nicole agreed, her eyes filled with determination. She had to protect her kids, no matter what.

Meanwhile, Lawrence got a phone call from Ian in Mecrounia. His tone was angry when he barked, “What did you say?! Someone dared to lay their hands on Nolan and Lana?!”

“Yes, it happened this evening. They’re fine now, but Stanley and the driver got injured,” Ian reported.

“Do you know who did it?” Lawrence’s tone was cold.

Ian was uncertain. “Not sure yet. I haven’t found any useful leads.”

“Keep searching. Make sure to find the culprit,” Lawrence ordered. ‘Those bastards must be sick of living to dare harm Nolan and Lana.’ “Yes,” Ian promised, hanging up the phone call.

Lawrence tossed his phone onto the table, his eyes clouded with darkness. He was trying to figure out what could have happened in San Joto and why the kids were targeted.

Lawrence felt a huge desire to go to San Joto now, but the situation in Mecrounia was at a critical juncture. He hesitated. One misstep could undo all his previous efforts.

After much contemplation, Lawrence sent a message to Ian, instructing him to identify the culprit and send Lawrence regular updates on the situation in San Joto.

Then, Everett came into the room and said mockingly,” Anything in San Joto that needs you to be back there?”

Lawrence glared at him. “It’s none of your business.”

Everett shrugged his shoulders, defending himself, “Well, I was just asking, there’s no need to get defensive.”

“Why are you here?” Lawrence asked coldly.

“I meant to ask about the progress. I’ve had enough of this godforsaken place,”

Everett complained. He had spent too much time here and was eager to return to San Joto for revenge.

“If cracking that thing was so easy, I doubt you would’ve handed it to me.”

Lawrence snorted. He knew that if Everett could crack it on his own, he would have never collaborated with him.
