Ch. 2681..2685: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2681-2685
Chapter 2681
As soon as Benjamin left, Dillon scolded Karen discontentedly, “Don’t talk nonsense next time!”
“I’m doing it for us. If it weren’t for Everett, we wouldn’t have ended up in such a miserable situation. Dad didn’t even do anything to Damien and Miley after what he did. We still need to be cautious,” Karen complained as she shot him a disdainful look.
They had to have some plans. Even if they were going to spend their old age at the family manor, they still needed to secure their position there.
“Don’t worry. Do you think they’re the kind of people who can behave themselves? As long as we behave and not get on Dad’s nerves, nothing will happen.” Dillon snorted.
“You mean to say they might make other moves?” Karen’s eyes widened.
“Do you think Everett would be content just fleeing abroad like that, never daring to show his face again in the future?” Dillon retorted sarcastically. “He knew things were about to be exposed, so he fled in advance. Since then, he must’ve been planning something. Just wait and see.”
Karen’s jaw dropped, beginning to understand him.
Looking around, Karen lowered her voice and asked, “So, do you think it’s a lose-lose situation?”
‘If that were the case, would our opportunity finally come?’ “Don’t say such things in the future, it’s best not to even think about it,” Dillon sternly warned her. “Be careful not to end up with nothing in the end.”
After experiencing it once, he was truly afraid. Now that he had a place where he could live without worries, he was truly content.
Moreover, what would they gain from arguing? One daughter was dead, and the other was unconscious, and his only son had no ambitions.
“It just crossed my mind suddenly. It wasn’t intentional.” Karen dared not speak recklessly anymore. After speaking, she cautiously looked around, making sure there was no one around before feeling a sense of relief.
“Come on, let’s go to bed too.” Their only goal now was to keep Benjamin company peacefully.
During this time, he also realized that Nicole and the others would not give them a hard time if they did what they were supposed to do. Perhaps in the future, he would still have a slight say in matters, and that would be enough.
On the other side, Nicole and Jared returned to the Riddle residence with their children.
Shortly after, Daniel and Gloria also arrived.
“Dad, Mom, don’t worry. You should rest early,” Nicole comforted them as she saw that they were looking upset.
“Yeah, you guys should also rest early,” they said.
After Daniel and Gloria went upstairs, Nicole patted Nolan and Lana’s shoulders and said, “Let’s go to sleep too.”
“Okay,” the kids responded, and the family went upstairs together.
After putting the kids to bed, Nicole and Jared returned to their own room.
“Did you get any news?” After closing the door, Nicole immediately asked Jared.
“Not yet.” Jared’s gaze slightly darkened.
Nicole furrowed her brows. “Why? Lawrence called Nolan. Wasn’t it about this matter?”
“He called Nolan?” Jared’s eyes darkened once again.
“Yeah, during dinner,” Nicole explained. “He didn’t say much, so I thought there was news.”
She thought that Lawrence had received some information there, so he contacted Nolan.
Jared glanced at Nicole and said, “Maybe there’s progress, but Lawrence won’t get any information.”
Nicole blinked before shaking her head, amused. She was starting to understand Jared.
“Alright, you can handle it.” Apparently, Jared had already done something to stop Ian’s investigation.
“Rest early.” Jared gently smoothed Nicole’s hair, his eyes soft

The investigation in San Joto had been making no progress.’ Who could’ve done this, and why is it so mysterious?’ ‘Is it also because of Nicole’s Fire Crest, or is it for something else?’ he wondered.
His phone suddenly rang. He saw that it was from Ian and answered it.
“Mr. Royce, I feel like our investigation is being hindered. It’s like there’s a force that’s confusing our vision,” Ian said helplessly.
Their investigation always seemed like they were about to get results, but in the end, it all turned out to be empty.
Thinking it over, he always felt that someone must have manipulated things behind the scenes for it to turn out like this.
Lawrence fell silent for a moment. “Then don’t investigate,” he said sarcastically.
“Huh?” Ian was surprised. ‘Just… stop?’ “We won’t find anything even if we investigate. The person you’re talking about should be Jared.” Lawrence had already figured out that if someone had done this, it was likely Jared.
“So we really won’t investigate any further?” Ian still did not want to give up.
Lawrence sighed. “Forget it. Just have someone secretly keep an eye on Nolan and Lana, and make sure they don’t get into trouble.”
“Understood,” Ian agreed. Then he asked, “Mr. Royce, how are things on your end?”
“Not going well.” Lawrence felt somewhat annoyed. ‘If we couldn’t crack it, does that mean we have to give up?’ “Do you need someone else’s help?” Ian asked.
“Who else can I find?” Lawrence felt frustrated.
“Well…” Ian choked. It seemed like they could only find Nicole, but they did not dare to gamble on the results of reaching out to her.
“Okay, just handle your own tasks.” Lawrence hung up the phone.
After putting away the phone, he picked up a wine glass and took a sip, his expression becoming even more annoyed.
He had not expected things to go so poorly during this visit.
The Fire Crest had returned to Nicole’s hands. Although Nicole did not say anything, she must have some resentment toward him.
Moreover, at some point, Nicole might regain her memory, which would put him in an even more disadvantageous position.
He had thought that there would be a turning point after obtaining the Water Crest, but he still could not get it.
Now, he only had two options-to give up the Water Crest or ask for Nicole’s help before they officially cut ties.
The problem was, if Nicole helped him, no one knew what the result would be. If the Water Crest recognized its master again, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. Lawrence emptied the wine in one gulp. Then he placed the empty glass heavily on the coffee table.
Taking a deep breath, Lawrence got up and strode out, entering a room behind him.
“How’s it going?” He sounded displeased.
“Mr. Royce, we’ve done our best,” the other party said timidly.
“What’s the use of useless people like you?!” Lawrence exploded in anger.
The room fell silent, and no one dared to make a sound, not even daring to breathe.

Chapter 2684
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2684-Anyone who even thinks of laying their hands on Nolan and Lana should be aware of the consequences.
Nicole arched an eyebrow as she looked at Jared. “What are you going to do?”
“Nothing. You should ask Grandpa this question instead,” Jared said indifferently.
Nicole quickly understood that Benjamin would soon find out about this, and he probably would not let Chloe off the hook easily.
“Let’s go back to the family manor tonight.” Jared stroked her hair and continued, “Let’s focus on work now.”
“Sure,” Nicole responded, watching him leave. She sat down in her chair and bit her lip. ‘Turns out everything was caused by Chloe. Well then, don’t blame me.’ After a while, Patricia returned and said, “We got it.”
“What?” Nicole raised her eyebrows.
“Chloe’s still not giving up. Those people said that after they kidnapped Nolan and Lana, they planned to demand a huge ransom. Chloe probably wanted to use the money to threaten you to give up the management of NandoCorp,”
Patricia said with a solemn expression.
If Chloe succeeded this time, they would probably have no other choice. After all, they could never gamble with Nolan and Lana’s safety.
“She’s really ambitious. Can she even manage NandoCorp if it’s given to her?”
Nicole said with a hint of sarcasm.
Moreover, if she succeeded this time, she might ask for Riddle Corporation next, and then the entire Riddle family.
“Even though she failed this time, will she try other methods in the future?”
Patricia frowned. Someone like Chloe probably would not give up easily.
“Keep an eye on her,” Nicole snorted coldly. If Chloe made another move, let there be irrefutable evidence against her.
“Yes,” Patricia agreed.
“You can leave now.” Nicole took the documents on the table and began to look through them.
After Patricia left, she started taking care of the tasks that Nicole had given her.
Time flew by, and it was already afternoon. After handling the documents on the desk, Nicole heard someone knock on the door.
“Come in,” Nicole responded.
The door opened. The footsteps that were heard sounded different but somewhat familiar.
Nicole furrowed her eyebrows and looked up. “Lulu, June, why have you come back?!”
“With such a big thing happening at home, how can we stay away?” Lulu came to the desk, appearing rather resentful.”
Are you planning to keep it from us forever?”
“You came back because you heard about Stanley’s situation.” Nicole quickly understood.
“Yes, Samuel and Spencer are still in the hospital, so we came from there,”
June replied. They came to see Nicole after seeing that Stanley was doing okay.
“Come, have a seat.” Nicole invited the two to sit on the couch.
The secretary quickly came in, served coffee, and left.
“I didn’t mean to keep it from you. It’s just that the situation wasn’t serious, and your honeymoon period was ending, so I thought of telling you after you came back,” Nicole explained.
“Is it serious? Stanley got hurt, and Nolan and Lana must’ve been frightened,”
Lulu said with concern.
Nicole nodded. “It’s okay, and the matter has been cleared up.”
“Who did it?” June and Lulu instantly became serious.
“Chloe,” Nicole sighed.
June and Lulu widened their eyes in astonishment. “Is she crazy?!”
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2685-“Maybe.” Nicole did not want to talk about Chloe, so she changed the subject.
“Since you’re back, let’s have a welcoming dinner tonight.”
June and Lulu exchanged a glance and said, “Forget it. Let’s do it in a few days.
There are too many things happening at home recently.”
“It’s okay. It’s just the three of us, so no one else is invited.” Even though it was called a welcoming dinner, it was actually just a gathering of a few good friends.
Upon hearing this, the two agreed, “Okay then.”
If it was just the three of them, it would be fine. They had to eat dinner anyway, so a simple meal together was good enough.
“What should we eat?” Lulu asked them.
“How about some fish?” June suggested. She always wanted to eat fish whenever she ate out.
“Okay,” Nicole agreed.
Soon, they all reached an agreement and decided to go for dinner together after work.
When the sun set, Nicole went to the dinner gathering while Jared went to the family manor alone. He had also arranged for a driver to pick the children up.
When he arrived at the family manor, Benjamin saw that Jared was the only one visiting.
He narrowed his eyes and said, “Here, sit.”
Jared sat down and cut to the chase. “Grandpa, it was Chloe who did it.”
Benjamin remained silent, making it difficult to discern his thoughts.
“She wants NandoCorp,” Jared said simply, believing that Benjamin would understand him.
“Alright, I got it.” Benjamin said solemnly.
Jared looked at Benjamin before standing upto leave. “I’ll head back first.”
After watching Jared leave, Benjamin’s complexion gradually turned pale and then blue. ‘How dare Chloe do such a thing?!’ Karen brought tea and took the opportunity to speak. “Dad, you have to do something. Nolan and Lana are adorable. What would happen if they ever got hurt or frightened?”
Benjamin gave Karen a faint glance, feeling defeated.
“Dad, have some tea.” After saying that, Karen turned and left.
Benjamin had instructed them not to come out, and eavesdropping was not right, so she dared not say anything more.
Benjamin called the butler over and said, “Tell Chloe to take care of her treatment expenses herself.”
“Yes.” The butler then advised Benjamin, “Please take care of yourself.”
“It’s okay.” Benjamin shook his head, though he looked solemn.
He figured that he had been too kind before, which was why all of them were simply taking advantage of him.
Jared’s gaze was dark when he left the family manor and got in the car.
“Mr. Johnston, there seems to be no movement from Damien’s family. Are they feeling confident?” Max said indignantly, frowning.
“No rush. The more confident they are, the more likely they’ll expose themselves.” Jared’s eyes turned cold. The more silent they were now, the more complacent Chloe would become. There would definitely be a time when she would become overconfident.
Max knew that Jared wanted to deliver a decisive blow to Chloe. “Got it.”
Meanwhile, at Damien’s house, Chloe had already received the call from Benjamin’s butler. Upon hearing that she would no longer receive her treatment funds, her face turned red with anger.
“What will you do from now on?” the assistant asked Chloe with some concern.
Miley isn’t at home now, and Mr. Riddle Sr. isn’t paying for Chole’s treatment now. We can’t possibly rely on Damien. Is Chloe’s treatment going to be stopped like this?’
