Ch. 2711..2715: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2711-2715

Chapter 2711

‘She had indeed gotten carried away. What makes her think it’s okay to treat past events as if they have well and truly been forgotten, and keep bringing them up? Does she wish to remind everyone about them?’ he wondered.

Karen swallowed and followed Dillion back to her room, too afraid to even breathe.

Meanwhile, the butler had gone on to tell Benjamin, “Don’t worry too much about Chloe.”

He figured that it was good that nothing worse had happened.

“I just don’t know what they’re still not satisfied with,” Benjamin said, sounding absolutely despondent.

Every single thing they had done thus far was tantamount to criminal offense. However, they had been let off time and time again, which had only emboldened them to the point that they would even dare to kidnap and harm a member of their family.

“Some things are simply beyond our control, and Nicole has already handled everything. I think you should stop worrying, ” the butler comforted in an attempt to soothe Benjamin.

Following a sigh, Benjamin ordered, “Tell Damien to never step foot in the family manor anymore.”

He did not want to see them ever again, and above that, he

did not even wish to acknowledge that there were still people like that in the Riddle family. From this day onward, Damien’s family would no longer be a part of the Riddle family.

The butler looked at Benjamin and nodded in agreement.” Rest assured, I will take care of it.”

After that, Benjamin looked out of the window and let out another long sigh.

Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared were already on the way to the Riddle residence.

“Aren’t you going back to Johnston Group?” Nicole looked at Jared and asked.

“I’m going home with you,” Jared answered, his eyes soft and affectionate.

This made Nicole blush, and she playfully said, “I’m fine, I don’t need anyone to accompany me.”

She was neither harmed, nor in need of someone to take care of her. If Jared had something to do, he should get it done with.

However, Jared went on to smoothen Nicole’s hair and embraced her. “I want to accompany you.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

Although it had all been a part of her plan, he just could not imagine what would have happened if anything went wrong.

As Nicole could sense that Jared was feeling tense, she bit her lip and leaned her head on his chest. “I promise that I’ll tell you before doing anything risky in the future.”

Jared stroked her hair and gently kissed her on the forehead, prompting her to snuggle into his arms like a spoiled kitten. Then, he looked at her affectionately as he held her tightly for a while longer.

After some time, the couple arrived at the Riddle residence, where the butler was surprised to see the two of them back home so soon. “Why have you come back?”

“It’s nothing. Carry on with your day.” Nicole gestured to the butler.

“Oh, okay,” the butler responded, and left.

Jared and Nicole returned to their room thereafter. In there, the afternoon sun streamed in, making the room warm and cozy.

“Go take a shower and a nap right after.” Jared gently patted Nicole on the shoulder.

“Okay,” Nicole nodded and took some casual clothes with her to the bathroom.

Jared looked away when he heard the sound of running water emanating from the bathroom, and went to the small table, taking out his computer.

When Nicole was done showering, she came out to see that Jared was busy, so she quietly went to the bedside, pulled the comforter over herself, and lied down.

Jared smiled as he shot a glance over his shoulder. He then got up and went to where Nicole was.

“Did I disturb you?” Nicole asked when she saw him approaching her.

“Nope.” Jared smiled, gently stroking her hair. “Just sleep. I’ll watch over you.”

A warm feeling surged in Nicole’s heart in an instant. She held Jared’s hand, closed her eyes, and fell asleep, feeling content.

Jared watched Nicole quietly, waiting for her to drift away before getting up and returning to the desk.

His secretary had sent many files over to him, and so, he went on to get busy with his work.

Meanwhile, Damien’s house was empty and silent now that Damien was alone in it. Ever since he heard about what happened to Chloe, the air around him had been dark and oppressive.

In the previous incident, Miley had taken the blame for Chloe, who was now arrested as well. Even Everett had fled abroad. This led him to wonder why his luck had been so rotten. It made no sense as to why he had been thwarted time and again.

‘Nicole is just a country bumpkin. Why is she so good at everything?’ he fumed.

He became livider the more he thought about it.

Gritting his teeth, he wondered, ‘How is it that our family ended up like this ever since Nicole came back?’

Then, he firmed his grip on his phone and hesitated for a moment before dialing a number.

“Dad, didn’t I say not to call me?” Everett’s angry voice came through.

“Chloe got into trouble. Nicole has set her up…” Damien quickly reported the situation to Everett.

After a moment of silence on the phone, Everett said, “So, what do you want me to do?”

“I can’t take this! I can’t let Nicole win!” Damien gritted his teeth. “Find someone for me, someone who has never been to San Joto! Someone inconspicuous, and also…”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

“Give it three days. They will contact you within three days.”

After saying that, Everett hung up.

Damien breathed a sigh of relief. He had no choice but to turn to Everett. He knew that when Everett left, the latter had informed them not to contact him to avoid any unnecessary problems, and that he would return when the time was right. However, the situation was different now, as he had no one else to turn to.

With all said and done, Everett had promised to hire someone for him, so all he had to do was plan the rest of it now.

The setting sun cast a warm glow on the western horizon as evening approached.

The living room in the Riddle residence was bustling as both Lulu and June had come over after work. Everyone had already been informed about Chloe’s situation, and since Nicole had not gone to work in the afternoon, everyone was naturally worried about her.

“I’m relieved to see you doing okay.” Lulu eyed Nicole, feeling that she looked alright.

“Don’t worry about me, I have always been fine,” Nicole reassured them, knowing that they were concerned about her.

“Hey Nicole. Has Uncle Damien received the news already? Why aren’t there any responses from him at all?” Samuel asked,confused.

‘At a time like this, they should at least give us an apology, right?’ he thought.

“Grandpa has already severed ties with him,” Nicole calmly replied. “Besides, it’ll be nigh impossible for him to come over and apologize to me in person.”

If anything, he was probably harboring a great deal of resentment for her at this point.

“I just feel it’s not normal for him to be this quiet,” Samuel said, sounding worried.

Even if he was pretending to be okay, it was still odd that he had not displayed any sort of reaction at all.

“Oh, it’s completely normal,” Nicole said as she narrowed her eyes.

Regardless of what Damien was showing the rest of the family now, Nicole knew for sure that he was feigning it all. His true thoughts likely revolved around nothing but pure, unadulterated hatred.

She glanced at Jared and found him looking at her. In that brief moment of eye contact, they both understood each other’s thoughts.

“Forget it. Let’s not talk about it anymore. We should be happy that we’ve finally caught the culprit who was trying to screw with me,” Nicole said, slowly regaining her composure.

“That’s right, and this deserves a celebration,” Lulu agreed.

She too had come to the conclusion that Chloe was reaping what she sowed.

“Mommy!” Nolan and Lana shouted as they pounced on Nicole, who went on to ruffle their hair.

“You’re back,” she greeted.

“Mummy, you came back so early today,” they said, as they were used to arriving home before she did.

“Yep, I took half a day off,” Nicole replied without giving them an explanation.

“Hi, Nicole,” Tia came over to greet Nicole. ‘Til get going then.”

Tia figured that since the kids had arrived home safely, she should return to her house at the back.

“Tia, please stay back and have dinner with us,” June invited.

“Let’s eat together. You should bring Mrs. Wallace Sr. along with you as well,” Lulu echoed.

“No, I better get…”

Tia was about to decline their invitation when Nicole interrupted her and said, “No worries. It’s a gathering today.

You should join us.”

With everyone extending her a warm welcome, Tia figured that she had no choice but to accept their invitation.

During dinner, everyone in the family gathered in the dining room.

Samuel and Spencer were taking care of June and Lulu, while Nicole and Jared were whispering to each other, talking about something not within earshot of the rest. Tia and Stanley were the only ones who were awkwardly silent at the dining table.

Upon noticing how silent Tia was, Gloria said, “Come on, Tia. Don’t be shy with us.”

“Thanks,” Tia nodded, but she continued grabbing the dishes that were within her reach only.

Tia was not shy whatsoever. However, she was evidently unnerved by Stanley, who was sitting directly across from her.

Gloria, who had seemed to pick up on the tension, proceeded to stare at Tia and Stanley. She was unable to understand why they were so uncomfortable around each other.

Mrs. Wallace Sr. instantly understood how Tia was feeling, and as she did not want Tia to be put on the spot, she began talking to Gloria to divert her attention.

Upon noticing that Gloria’s eyes were no longer on her, Tia breathed a mental sigh of relief. She knew that Gloria was just being kind, but she really could not stand all that attention from her.

“Try this,” Stanley said.

Tia was petrified. As it turned out, he had swapped the dishes right in front of her with those she preferred.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

Although she had not seen him doing it, she knew it was him by the sound of his voice.

After Stanley had positioned the new dishes in front of her, he remained silent and went on with his usual business of eating. He was not as calm as he seemed, but he knew that Tia was feeling very uneasy. As such, he did not want to cause her any further discomfort.

“Oh my, what’s going on here?” Lulu blinked her eyes and whispered to Nicole.

Nicole shook her head, indicating that she was not familiar with the scene, and that she too felt that Stanley’s behavior was rather puzzling.

“Is he?” June crossed her middle and index finger, wanting to ask if Stanley was cheating on two women at once.

“I don’t think so,” Lulu replied.

She believed that no member of the Riddle family would do such a thing, as none of them had ever been known to do so before.

In response, June frowned. “Me neither, but how can you explain this?”

Suddenly, Stanley’s phone rang.

The moment he answered the call, Cherry’s shrieking voice blared out, “Stanley, my heels are broken. Pick me up now!”

“I’m eating dinner…”

Before Stanley could finish, however, the phone call ended. At first, he was perplexed and wanted to ignore Cherry’s request, but once he realized what Cherry’s intentions were, he looked up and met Tia’s gaze.

And after a short pause, Stanley informed Gloria, “Mom, I’m heading out for a while.”

With that, Stanley placed his cutlery down and left the house in a hurry.

Chapter 2714

Stanley dared not look back, as he had caught a glimpse of how depressed Tia looked when he was on his way out. All it would take was a second of hesitation, and Stanley might change his mind and stay back.

‘Let it be. Perhaps Cherry could help me out. If Tia cries for me, I will do my best to create a future for the both of us. But if she doesn’t, I could only give her my blessings and leave her,’ he concluded.

After Stanley had vanished from the doorway, June and Lulu’s whispering became even louder.

“Why is Cherry so rude?” Lulu asked.

“She looked alright the last time we saw her, though.

Sheesh, I guess you can never judge a book by its cover,” June said with a hint of disapproval.

“Perhaps they’re in their honeymoon phase. People tend to act differently when they’re in that phase, you know,” Nicole stated calmly, though her gaze went to tell June and Lulu to quit it with the topic.

Fortunately, the duo picked up on Nicole’s signal almost instantly, and proceeded to change the subject in a jiffy.

Judging by how Tia looked, it was best if they did not add fuel to the fire.

“I’m done,” Tia stood up, trying to sound calm and composed.

“Are you sure you don’t want to have some more?” Gloria asked. “You’ve been eating very little today.”

Tia looked at Gloria and replied, “No thanks. My stomach is full already.”

“Alright then,” Gloria said, not wanting to push Tia.

Tia did not leave right away once she was done, as she had to wait for Mrs.

Wallace Sr. While she remained seated, Tia could not stop thinking about how Cherry sounded in that phone call with Stanley. Sharing June and Lulu’s opinion on the matter, Tia was in disbelief that Cherry had turned out to be so pushy and abrasive. Tia was even starting to think that Cherry might have put on a mask before she got together with Stanley.

The very idea caused her face to blanch as she gritted her teeth. ‘If that’s the case, will Stanley really be happy in the future?’ Her head was still in the clouds when Mrs. Wallace Sr., who was done eating by that point, called out to her. “Tia, let’s go back.”

There was a 30 second delay before Tia stood up and responded, “Yep, alright.”

“We’ll get going first,” Tia said as she bade her farewell to everyone in the hall and pushed Mrs. Wallace Sr. back to the house in the courtyard.

“It feels like Tia is hurt.” Lulu sighed, feeling heartbroken for Tia.

June nodded in agreement. “Both of them are acting weird.”

Nicole followed up by shaking her head in helplessness. “Let them settle it on their own.”

Nicole could not understand Stanley’s decision either, but as this was an issue between Stanley and his partner, she had decided to respect his decision anyway.

“What are you talking about?” Gloria asked, not knowing what they were conversing about.

“It’s nothing. We’re just saying that Stanley has been treating Cherry very well.”

Lulu beamed at Gloria.

Gloria nodded. “Indeed. That’s how women should be treated.”

Lulu then breathed a sigh of relief in silence, thinking it was fortunate that Gloria had not overheard their conversation.

“Eat up,” Nicole said, and proceeded to scoop some of the dishes up and place them onto Lulu’s plate to get her to stop talking about it.

Having noticed Nicole’s cue, Lulu flashed her a smile and stopped mentioning Stanley and Tia entirely.

After dinner, Jared took the kids upstairs. As June and Lulu had not left the house, Nicole stuck around and continued chatting with them in the living room.

“Oh, I almost forgot to ask. How are the wedding preparations?” Lulu asked in anticipation.

 

Chapter 2715

“I have no idea,” Nicole replied.

Shocked, both Lulu and June asked, “How could you not know?”

“Due to the fact that I’ve been very busy lately, I haven’t had the time to ask about it. Besides, the date isn’t even set, so there’s no rush,” Nicole said calmly.

After hearing that, the two women rolled their eyes at Nicole. “There is nothing more important than this.”

“It’s alright. Although we didn’t have a wedding, we have been officially married for a long time now,” Nicole said.

She felt that a wedding would just be purely ceremonial since her situation with Jared was completely distinct from that of Lulu’s and June’s.

Lulu sighed and shook her head, prompting Nicole to chuckle and ask, “What’s wrong?”

In response, Lulu looked at Nicole with envy and said,”

Jared really does spoil you.”

“Hey, if you phrase it like that, a certain someone might get sad,” Nicole teased.

Knowing what Nicole meant, Lulu blushed. “I’m not saying Spencer’s bad or anything.”

Lulu was just teasing Nicole, but in the process of doing so, she had been struck with a comeback that had left her floored.

“I’m serious, Nicole. You should pay more attention to your wedding,” June advised.

Hearing that, Lulu reminded, “I think we better not advise her on anything else.

We’ll be the ones who can’t stand them once they start getting lovey-dovey.”

Lulu had gotten it right. Nicole’s complacency was not a result of her not taking her wedding to heart. It was because Nicole knew Jared would handle everything for her, leaving her with nothing to worry about.

“You’re right,” June said in agreement.

The few chit-chatted for a while longer, and it was only when it was getting late that the two decided to leave.

After sending her friends off, Nicole got up and returned to her room.

“Are the kids asleep?” Nicole asked Jared.

“They’re fast asleep,” Jared replied. “You must be exhausted. IV “I’m fine,” Nicole smiled. “I had a great nap.”

Nicole then glanced at Jared’s laptop and asked, “What about you? Are you done with work?”

“Just finished,” Jared said, and got up to take a seat next to Nicole.

Nicole laid her head on his shoulders and wrapped her arms around his. “Ah, finally, the day is over.”

“I can’t help but feel that you must prepare to strike Damien soon,” Jared said.

Nicole seemed exceptionally composed, as far as Damien’s situation was concerned, giving Jared the impression that she had everything under control.

Meeting Jared’s gaze, Nicole smiled and said, “So you noticed too.”

“Well, it’s not hard to figure out,” Jared replied with a hint of affection, and gave Nicole’s forehead a light tap.

“Hehe.” Nicole smirked. “Don’t worry. I won’t act on my own this time. I’ll be sure to discuss it with you beforehand.”

Nicole had a feeling that she could handle Damien on her own, but she decided that it would be best for her to inform Jared of her decision, just so that she could put him at ease.

“Good,” Jared agreed, not intent on disappointing Nicole.

After that, she beamed and planted a kiss on Jared’s cheek.” Thank you.”

Slow but intense, Jared’s gaze descended upon Nicole’s lips, on which he placed a gentle kiss after he had lowered his head. Then, Nicole too began to lose herself in the moment.

As dawn broke, the sun rose, casting shades of blue, yellow, and orange on the sky. A new day began with the chirping of birds filling the air.
