Ch. 2706..2710: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2706-2710

Chapter 2706

Feeling defeated, Lulu said, “He’s basically using social coercion, isn’t he?”

Although Harvey said that everyone was going, that did not mean that Nicole must be there too.

“It’s okay.” Nicole smiled and looked at Lulu. “Perhaps there’s something for me to gain out of showing up. You should come with me too.”

“Me?!” Lulu asked in surprise. “Are you sure it wouldn’t be better for you to find a male companion?”

Even if she did not wish to go to the event with Jared, Sean as her plus one would also be fine. Lulu believed her presence would not be of much help anyway.

“With so many shareholders and partners present, are you sure there’s no one you’d like to get to know?” Nicole asked.

Lulu blinked, starting to understand what Nicole was coming from.

Then, she gritted her teeth and replied, “I guess that works too.”

“Hehe, alright. Gather some information when you’re back,” Nicole suggested.

Knowing some background information about those people beforehand might prove to be handy later on.

Lulu nodded. “I’ll make the preparations when we’re back.”

Since they had decided to make themselves present, they needed to be prepared.

Satisfied, Nicole smiled. “Okay. For now, let’s eat.”

“Yeah,” Lulu agreed and began digging in with Nicole.

After they were done eating, the two of them left the restaurant. However, Lulu was puzzled when she looked around and realized that their car was gone.

“Where’s the car? The chauffeur didn’t say he’d leave first, did he?” she asked.

“Maybe something came up. Let’s hail a cab first.” Nicole looked around.

Although she did not know what the driver was doing, there was still a need for them to return to the headquarters as soon as possible.

“Oh, okay,” Lulu said.

After flagging a cab down, she looked at Nicole and said,” Let’s go.” Nicole nodded and got into the car. However, just as Lulu was about to get in as well, three men in black lunged out of nowhere, forced their way through all three doors, and got into the car.

At the back seat, the two men on either side of Nicole pointed their knives at her. “Don’t make a sound, or you’ll face the consequences.”

“Drive.” The third man at the passenger seat placed the edge of his blade directly at the driver’s neck.

The driver was petrified for a moment. Then, he started the engine and sped off in a hurry.

Although Lulu did not know what was happening, she chased after the car the moment she saw it speeding away.” Hey, stop the car. What’s wrong with you?!”

Even then, she was still left in total shock by the sudden turn of events. ‘What on earth just happened?!’ After a brief chase, Lulu found herself unable to catch up, so she helplessly watched as the car receded from view as tears welled up in her eyes.

“Help, help!”

Just as she shouted, someone yanked her back, prompting her to whirl around to see who it was: Patricia.

Lulu broke down into a mess of tears and sweat as if she had caught a lifeline.

“Quick, do something! A few strangers forced their way into the cab Nicole was in! Is she in danger!?”

‘Great, with Patricia here, there’s a chance that we’ll still be able to save Nicole.’ “You should go back first. I’ll take care of the rest,” Patricia comforted Lulu and activated the tracking system before following them.

Meanwhile, Nicole was calmly watching her kidnappers in silence. She was well aware that this was the result of Chloe’s impatience. If anything, it was a rare opportunity for her to bag Chloe, so she would not let it slip away. Her only hope was that Chloe would personally show up and act on her vengeance, and by the looks of it, Nicole’s sacrifice would not be in vain.

The kidnappers thought that Nicole was afraid when they saw how subdued she was, so they kicked back and let their guard down as well.

Chapter 2707

The car pulled up at a derelict building situated at the west of San Joto, where the kidnappers had instructed the driver to stop. However, they did not let him go. Instead, they knocked him out and left him in the car.

“Take her inside. Our job will be done once we’re in. We’ll take the money and leave,” one of them said.

The kidnappers wanted to leave San Joto right after they had gotten the money, which would be enough for them to start over.

After entering the building, they tied Nicole to a chair and looked outside, seemingly waiting for someone to make an appearance.

Nicole narrowed her eyes as a faint smirk crossed her face.1 Seems like Chloe won’t disappoint me.’ And as expected, Chloe arrived about ten minutes later.

Nicole heard the scraping of a wheelchair on the ground, and that was when she looked up to see Chloe entering the building.

“Didn’t expect to end up like this one day, huh?” Chloe mocked as she eyed a disheveled Nicole.

“Well, I’m not surprised,” Nicole coldly remarked as she shot Chloe a glance.

“Hmm, you’re still putting on airs at a time like this. Oh I’m going to enjoy watching you cry,” Chloe said resentfully.

She was pissed at the fact that Nicole was able to face her situation with such equanimity, when in fact, Nicole was not afraid of her at all.

‘Does she really think that I won’t dare to do anything to her? ‘ Chloe wondered.

“I’m curious, how will you make me cry?” Nicole raised an eyebrow and looked Chloe in the eye.

Just like that, Nicole’s attitude made Chloe even more furious.

“Since you’re curious, I’ll show you!” she yelled through gritted teeth.

Then, Chloe turned to her assistant. “Bring it to her and have her put her fingerprint on it!”

“Sure.” The assistant took the document out and approached Nicole.

Chloe was afraid that Nicole did not understand what was going on, so she explained, “This document is a contract of transfer. The moment you press your finger against the sheet of paper, Riddle Corporation becomes mine.” “It’s been over five years, and you’re still so naive?” Nicole asked, looking somewhat defeated. ‘Is Riddle Corporation something that she could have if she wanted it?’ Moreover, even if Nicole gave it to Chloe, there was no guarantee that she would be able to manage it well. She had never even managed a company before.

“Stop pretending. You’ll see who’s naive when you lose everything!” Chloe shouted.

Chloe then turned to look at her assistant once. “Why aren’t you getting her fingerprint?”

“Okay.” The assistant opened the document and pressed Nicole’s finger against the empty section at the bottom.

Chloe filled the room with maniacal laughter after she had grabbed the document with Nicole’s fingerprint on it.” Hahaha! It’s finally mine.”

“Are you sure?!” Nicole eyed Chloe with a mocking look on her face.

She was not panicking at all.

Chapter 2708

“Ah!”

Following a shriek, the sound of a knife falling to the ground echoed crisply in the room.

Everyone who was present was startled. None of them understood what had happened. It seemed that Chloe had just attacked Nicole with the knife, but it made no sense as to why she was in pain while Nicole seemed to be unharmed.

Chloe, who was also shocked, looked at Nicole with disbelief. ‘What just happened?’ Nicole glanced at the knife on the ground and stood up, her gaze cold and dark.

At that very second, everyone gasped. “What?! How did she escape?!”

She was clearly tied to the chair, so how did she set herself free?

Nicole flexed her wrists as she shot Chloe a cold, furious glare. “I’ve been injured, so my skills may not be at their peak, but a mere rope would never hold me down.”

“Hurry up! Go after her! Otherwise, well be screwed!”

Chloe immediately retreated in a panic and ordered her assistant as well as the kidnappers to take care of Nicole.

Everyone exchanged looks and figured that what Chloe said was right, so they immediately did what they were told.

Nicole watched as they rushed toward her and exclaimed,” Patricia, it’s time!”

She was not sure if she could handle all of them herself at once. Thus, to be safe, she decided to leave it to Patricia.

Patricia sprung out of nowhere and swiftly dealt with the kidnappers, leaving them all lying on the ground and moaning in pain thereafter.

“Nicely done,” Nicole praised her with a smile.

When Patricia arrived, she had already received a signal from Nicole: she was actually the one who had quietly knocked the knife out of Chloe’s hand with a rock. At that time, she was still hiding behind some cover.

Chloe was initially livid when she saw Patricia, but her anger quickly turned to fear. For a moment, her mind was in chaos.

“Ms. Riddle, what should we do now?” Patricia asked, knowing that the situation was under control now.

Nicole picked the forged document up and handed it to Patricia. “Give this document and the knife to the police. Both of these constitute solid evidence.”

As soon as Nicole had spoken, police sirens began blaring from the outside.

Chloe shuddered and it was then that a realization dawned upon her. “You set me up!”

It was all a part of Nicole’s plan from the very beginning. She thought she had found an opportunity, but as it turned out, she had fallen into Nicole’s trap once more.

As Nicole did not possess any evidence of what Chloe had previously done, she had decided to set Chloe up, and today, she had managed to catch her in the act.

“What should we do?” her assistant asked, dumbfounded.

She did not expect that they would be the ones getting caught today.

Livid beyond words, Chloe glared at her assistant with bloodshot eyes and yelled, “Shut up, you idiot!”

‘What should I do now? I can’t even escape.’ The police quickly barged in and, after assessing the situation in the room, they took everyone away.

Nicole and Patricia left the police station after their testimonies had been recorded. By the time they were done, Jared’s car was already parked by the road. He had been waiting for her.

“Why are you here?” Nicole was surprised.

Jared gently held Nicole’s hand and replied, “Don’t take such risks next time.”

“It’s just Chloe, so it’s not much of a risk,” Nicole said with a beaming smile.

It was all part of her plan, and she was sure that nothing would go wrong.

Otherwise, she would not have taken the risk to pull it off. After all, it was just Chloe, and as far as that crippled wretch was concerned, there was very little risk involved.

Chapter 2709

Jared gave her an affectionate look and shook his head after he had seen her smile. “Remember to tell me if you’re going to do anything like this in the future.”

This way, he could assign a security detail to protect her and ensure that she would not be harmed.

To that, Nicole replied, “You’ve already assigned Patricia to me. Don’t you know the capabilities of the people you’ve chosen?”

Moreover, she herself was not totally defenseless. Indeed, she was not as dexterous and strong as she was before, but she was still capable of holding her own against people who were not trained in martial arts.

“Yes, you’re always right.” Jared smiled softly and brought Nicole into the car.

After giving Patricia a glance, Max got into the car and drove away.

Patricia glanced back at the police station, understanding Max’s gesture. They had to keep a close eye on the situation, even though they had succeeded in capturing Chloe. They could not give Chloe the chance to escape blame, and they could absolutely not allow Chloe to pin the blame on someone else.

After making a call, Patricia left the police station.

Instead of taking Nicole back to the company headquarters, Jared brought her right to the Riddle family manor.

“Dad, Mom, why are you here?” Nicole asked, surprised to see Daniel and Gloria there.

After shooting Nicole a glance, Daniel replied, “We came to see Grandpa. What brought you here at this hour of the day?”

If nothing out of the ordinary had occurred, Nicole should still be in her office at this time, and the fact that Jared was here with her was an indication that something had come up.

“Um…” Nicole hesitated and looked at Benjamin before saying, “Something happened.”

She had intended to tell her grandfather about Chloe, but she was not expecting her parents to be there as well.

After thinking about it for a moment, Nicole decided to speak up. After all, everyone would come to know about the situation when the police publicized Chloe’s arrest eventually.

“Chloe has been arrested.” Nicole looked at them and revealed.

And just like that, everyone in the room was astonished.” What?!”

“What happened?” Benjamin narrowed his eyes.

Nicole sighed and briefly recounted what had happened earlier. After that, the living room instantly fell silent, and the

tension became palpable.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

Gloria was the first to speak as she looked at Nicole with sympathy. “She’s gone too far.”

She had never thought that Chloe, who was already in such a state, would still attempt to do something so sinister. She had even resorted to kidnapping and disfigurement, something that no person of sound mind would even do.

“She has tried to bring you down. It’s good that she has been caught in the act. She must face the consequences for what she has done.” Karen pursed her lips.

“It’s so ridiculous. How can Chloe, who is already paralyzed, still manage to pull off so many tricks?” she wondered out loud.

In fact, she was implying that Chloe could not have done these things alone, and she believed that no one present was stupid enough to believe that Chloe was a lone wolf either. In fact, they would probably understand her.

Naturally, everyone understood her. It was just that at this moment, no one could even be bothered to think about it because it would not make a difference even if they did.

Chloe was already caught red-handed. Even if they suspected that someone had secretly aided her, their speculations and assumptions would not be confirmed if Chloe admitted to nothing on record. Moreover, Damien should have already known about Chloe’s situation by now, and yet he had remained silent. As such, they could not guess what he was planning.

“Since the evidence is conclusive, let the police handle the rest.” Benjamin calmly said.

Although the turn of events was somewhat shocking, it did not seem that surprising at all. Chloe’s actions during the last incident were already outrageous enough, and what she had just done was simply an escalation of such behavior.

“Yeah, that’s our plan too.” Nicole looked at Benjamin. “I just came here today to inform you about this.”

Although Chloe’s situation had not been publicized, it would eventually be made known to everyone in San Joto by the police. Therefore, she thought it was better to announce it in advance to prevent it from being too shocking of a news when it was officially revealed later down the line.

 

Chapter 2710

Benjamin looked at Nicole and said, “Sorry about this.

After giving him a smile, she replied, “Grandpa, please don’t say that. I’m fine.”

“You can’t say that. You’re only fine because you’ve got your wits about you. If something really happened to you, we’d all be heartbroken,” Karen remarked dramatically.

In response, Nicole gave her a blank stare without exposing her true intentions. She understood that Karen was just trying to bring Damien’s family down, and so, she was determined to not pay any attention to any of these little schemes of hers. After all, they would not have any impact on the situation.

Upon noticing Nicole’s silence, Karen began to feel a little embarrassed and could only shut her mouth.

“Grandpa, I’m going home now if there’s nothing else,” Nicole said.

She was not in the mood to stay here any longer. In fact, she was feeling somewhat tired.

“Go home and get some rest.” Benjamin nodded, knowing by the look on her face that some rest would do her good.

“Okay,” Nicole replied and walked off with Jared beside her.

The air in the living room became tense and heavy at once. Daniel and Gloria had initially come with the intention of

visiting Benjamin, but now that this had happened, no one was left in a good mood.

“You don’t need to stick around. All of you can leave.” Benjamin waved his hand, signaling for everyone to leave as he was feeling a little depressed too.

After exchanging looks, Daniel and Gloria got up. “Alright, we’ll head back now.”

“Go on,” Benjamin said, his voice deep and low.

After Daniel and Gloria had left, Karen was about to say something to Benjamin when Dillion stopped her.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

“Dad, we’ll head back to our room too. Let us know if you need anything,” Dillion said with a hint of concern.

Benjamin nodded, after which Dillion pulled Karen away.

“Why didn’t you let me speak?” Karen asked Dillon with a tone indicative of discontentment.

“This matter is over. Don’t get involved anymore,” Dillion warned.

“Why? This is such a great opportunity. How could you let it go?” Karen said indignantly.

This was the perfect chance forthem to destroy Damien’s family.

However, Dillion, who begged to disagree, simply glared at Karen. “Why are you so stupid? Didn’t Raine do what Chloe did?”

Karen’s face immediately blanched, and she softly muttered,

“But Raine is no longer around.”

“Just because she’s gone doesn’t mean they’ll forget what she did.” Dillion sneered as if to tell Karen how stupid he thought she was. “If you feel that life is too easy now, you may go ahead and say whatever you want in the future.”

With that, Dillon left Karen alone and returned to his room on his own.

‘I can’t believe she allowed herself to get carried away like that,’ he fumed.

The family had accepted them, and no one had mentioned Raine and Snow ever since. Still, that did not mean that everyone had forgotten what they had done. Therefore, it would be wise for the two of them to behave themselves if they wanted to live the lives they had currently been granted.

He did not want to go back to living on the streets again, so he was willing to keep his mouth shut. As long as his father was happy, nothing else mattered. And as long as Dillion could stay, he would not poke his nose into anything else.

Karen trembled as she heard Dillion slamming the door, and in less than a second, the fog in her mind cleared.
