Ch. 2791..2795: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2791-2795

Chapter 2791

While they were in the hospital room, Ellar helplessly muttered, “Actually, you don’t need to stay. You should go home and get some rest.”

“Just go to sleep if you’ve got nothing else on your mind. I can get my rest anywhere and anytime.” Patricia up to the couch, pulled a blanket over herself, and laid down.

“Let me know if you need anything,” she said as she looked at him.

“Okay.” Ellar sighed in defeat after returning Patricia’s gaze.

He was looking at the couch where Patricia was, shaking his head before laying down as well.

Though Patricia had stayed to take care of him on her own volition, he truly hoped that she would just leave and get some sleep back in the comforts of her own home.

However, it was evident at this point that Patricia would not listen to him; she would stay and accompany him through the night.

‘Forget it. I’m just going to keep quiet so that she can get some shuteye,’ he thought.

What he did not know was that Patricia was not able to sleep. Though she looked like she was already fast asleep on the couch, her mind was in a swirling vortex. All she could think of was the moment when she turned around to see Ellar shielding her from the blow she had failed to anticipate, followed by the image of blood gushing out of his arm after the slash had connected.

That was the moment that had shocked her to the very core. To her, Ellar had always been a vulnerable target in need of protection, much like a helpless, younger brother to Nicole. That was why she had never thought that he would step forward to shield her.

There was also a strange and indescribable feeling stirring within her, but no matter what she did to process her emotions, the confusion only seemed to be mounting.

Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared were already on their way home.

“Mr. Johnston. The incident was likely perpetrated by the Eastern Falcon organization,” Max said.

“But have we caught anyone yet?” Jared asked coldly.

“Not yet, but Charlie is already on it.” Max hesitated for a moment. “Perhaps the guy we’ve previously apprehended was just a foot soldier. The other possibility is that they have deployed new members for their latest assault.”

If neither was the case, capturing one of their men should have dealt a massive blow to them. Realistically, it would be impossible for them to switch tactics and targets in such a short span of time just because Ellar was found to be well guarded. It would have taken them a fair bit of prep time to have done so.

“That’s possible.” Nicole’s eyes darkened. ‘Their analysis makes sense when you put it that way.’ After a brief moment of hesitation, Nicole softly said, “It seems that we’ll have to expedite our operations with Zane.”

“Has there been no news from Zane recently?” Max asked.

With a frown, Nicole softly muttered, “Nope. Everything seems a little too quiet on his end as well.”

And after careful consideration, Nicole took her phone out and called Zane.

‘Hey. I’m sorry to bother you at this hour, but something happened on my end,”

Nicole said, going straight to the point.

“It’s okay. I’m not hitting the sack yet. Go ahead and tell me about it,” Zane replied.

He knew that Nicole would not be calling at this time of the night if she did not have anything important to tell him.

Then, Nicole went on to describe the assault on them that had occurred today.

After hearing her account of the events that had transpired, Zane remained silent for a moment.

“We’ve not noticed any movements from Everett recently. It’s as if he has disappeared. I wonder what he’s up to,” Zane said once the delay was over.

“So, you suspect that this incident might be connected to Everett?” Nicole’s eyes narrowed.

About a week ago, Patricia had tasked someone to tail Damien, and there, they discovered that he had been getting himself involved in mysterious dealings with someone on a daily basis, someone seemingly related to the organization, Eastern Falcon.

However, Damien himself did not have any means of contacting them, so there was only one possibility-Everett had entered the picture.

And now, Everett seemed to have disappeared again, an act which further supported their theory of what was going on.

“We can’t be sure now. It just seems too coincidental,” Zane added.

“Yeah, it does seem suspicious.” Nicole said, feeling that Zane’s speculation made sense as well.

“In that case, we’ll continue to track Everett. You need to be more vigilant in San Joto. If you’re short on manpower, I can send more of our members over,” Zane stated, showing his concern for Nicole’s situation.

Chapter 2792

“It’s okay. We’re still able to hold our own for now. It’s just that the recent events have been rather weird, so I wanted to share some information with you,” Nicole responded.

“Alright, if you need anything, feel free to reach out to me anytime,” Zane agreed.

“Yeah, that’s it for now,” Nicole replied, and hung up.

“Isn’t he with Lawrence?” Max’s eyes widened in surprise.1 How could Everett go missing?’ “He probably weaseled his way out of Lawrence’s hideout,” Nicole snorted.

“Everett had only enlisted Lawrence’s help to flee San Joto. It just so happened that Lawrence had decided to detain him there after they had both left the city.

To flee at the slightest opportunity is something you can always expect from Everett.”

“Does Lawrence know about Everett’s disappearance?” Max wondered aloud.

“He might, but as to whether he knows where Everett went, we can’t be certain,”

Nicole sighed.

After all, Everett would definitely elude Lawrence’s vast surveillance apparatus if he truly was determined to escape. Now, the question that needed answering was, where would Everett go after he had fled Lawrence’s hideout?

At the end of the day, Lawrence was a force to be reckoned with, and there would be very few places in which Everett could hide even if his escape was a success.

“The Eastern Falcon headquarters.” Nicole thought out loud without If Everett was truly involved with the Eastern Falcon organization, the only also have received help from them to break himself out of

Lawrence’s base where he was held.

Creasing her forehead, she wondered, ‘Is it possible that Everett and the Eastern Falcon have made a deal?’ By the time Nicole arrived home, it was already late at night.

Noticing how tired she looked, Jared gently caressed her hair and said, “You should sleep earlier today.”

“Yeah,” Nicole responded, after which she laid down with Jared and fell asleep.

The next day, the sun was bright and warm.

After they have had their breakfast, Nicole and Jared headed straight to the hospital.

The sight of Ellar looking much better and stronger made her breathe a sigh of relief. “Looks like you’re recovering well.”

At this rate, Ellar might experience a full recovery very soon, and that was more than enough to put Nicole at ease.

“It is just a minor injury. You don’t really need to worry about me,” Ellar said as he scratched his head.

“Did you inform your parents about this?” Nicole asked.

If everyone in the family was made aware of the fact that he had been hospitalized, they would most likely be on edge.

In response, Ellar shook his head and smiled. “No, I told them I went on a business trip and will be back in a few days, n His family would not have to get all worried sick if he returned home after his injury had completely healed.

“That’s good. Otherwise, it would only make them anxious.”

It was indeed a good idea to keep this from them, as news about his injury would do nothing but stress them out.

“However, I can’t hold off on my work, so I’ll have the procedures of my discharge completed in a bit. After that, I’ll be heading to my office. I’m planning to stay there for a few days. Once my injury is gone. I’ll go back home.” Ellar gestured at his arm.

His idea was that returning home at this time would only stir up more unnecessary drama, so it would be better for him to stay in his office.

“Staying in your office isn’t exactly going to help your recovery, you know.”

Nicole furrowed her brows.

Having made his decision, Ellar looked at Nicole and replied, “It will. I’ll be there every day, and I won’t have to move around before and after work. In fact, I think my injuries might even heal faster, and it won’t affect my work.

It’s a win-win situation no matter how you look at it. Rest assured, I can take care of myself.”

g his discharge.

Nicole then turned to Patricia, and in a voice brimming with concern, she asked, “How are you? Did you rest well?”

“You don’t have to worry about me, Ms. Riddle. I slept well,” she replied and shot Ellar a glance without realizing it.

He was completely silent last night, and had probably done so on purpose to avoid disturbing her.

“As for the investigation, leave it to Charlie and Max. You should just focus on Damien.” Nicole pursed her lips.

She knew that Patricia was still feeling somewhat guilty and remorseful over the events of last night, even though it was not her fault. This was compounded by the fact that Patricia had already detected her enemies earlier on and had arranged her defense plans in anticipation of what was to come. Unfortunately, the outcome of the encounter was regrettably well beyond her control.

But now that Ellar was fine and there were breakthroughs in their investigation, none of that mattered anymore. Soon, the results would be revealed.

“I understand, Ms. Riddle. Don’t worry,” Patricia said and nodded.

In fact, Patricia had her own set of speculations as well. Following Damien’s lead was the right course of action, and she had an inkling that the person who had agreed to meet Damien would soon surface.

“Alright, that’s settled then,” Nicole said, and glanced at Ellar. “We’ll be leaving now.”

“Yeah, don’t worry. I’m good here.” Ellar nodded.

“Ms. Riddle…” Patricia paused and shot Nicole a hesitant look.

This prompted Nicole to raise an eyebrow. “Do you have something else to say?”

“I…” Patricia hesitated again. “I’ll be heading to the company later. I must take him to his office first.”

Understanding what Patricia’s intentions were, Nicole said,” You’re worried about him, aren’t you? In that case, you can stay at BayCorp. There’s nothing urgent for you to deal with at work, and I can assign your tasks to other people.”

After all, Patricia’s primary responsibility was investigating Damien, so she could work wherever she wanted and it would not make a difference at all.

“Well…” Patricia trailed off, having caught herself by surprise, for the last place she had expected to stay in was BayCorp.

“Thank you, Nicole,” Ellar happily responded.

If that was the case, he would love to have Patricia keeping him company. He did not need her to take care of him, but being able to see her around was a blessing in itself.

“Alright, I’m leaving,” Nicole said, before linking arms with Jared and leaving the ward.

“Goodbye, Nicole and Jared.” Ellar was overjoyed.

As for Patricia, she could only stand there and breathe a mental sigh. ‘Maybe I shouldn’t have suggested it, but his injury…’ After Nicole and Jared had exited the hospital, they got into their car.

“Mr. and Mrs. Johnston? Zane just sent us a message. It seems that Everett was broken out and taken away by the members of Eastern Falcon,” Max reported.

“I thought so,” Nicole replied.

The revelation did not surprise her at all. If Everett had indeed left Lawrence’s base, there was only one possible place left for him to go – the headquarters of Eastern Falcon.

o it was a wonder as to how he had become so formidable.

Obtaining the Water Crest, making deals with Lawrence, and conspiring with the elusive Eastern Falcon were just a list of things he had done. It was now anyone’s guess as to what else Everett had up his sleeves.

“Perhaps we’ve underestimated him from the very beginning. ” Nicole’s eyes darkened.

Initially, everyone was of the opinion that Everett was not particularly well regarded, even in Damien’s family, but they had forgotten that the more inconspicuous someone seemed, the more likely they were to harbor something sinister.

They should have already noticed how cunning Everett was when he went out of his way to plot against their grandfather, Benjamin. However, they had overlooked how wicked of a person he truly was because his disposition indicated nothing out of the ordinary.

“If Everett is indeed conspiring with Eastern Falcon, he might go big,” Max remarked with concern.

The fact that Everett was working with Lawrence had already put them on guard, and at this juncture, they could only wonder what else Everett might do after he joined forces with the mysterious Eastern Falcon organization.

“Don’t worry, he won’t make a move for the time being. We just need to be prepared in advance.” Nicole narrowed her eyes.

‘Even if Everett is intent on taking us down, he can’t afford to act out of impulse for now. He still needs to wait for the right moment,’ she thought.

Jared then turned to Max and ordered, “Send a message to Zane and tell him to investigate how Everett managed to contact Eastern Falcon. Find out what transactions and shared interests are

involved.”

“Yes,” Max respectfully replied.

Indeed, the organization would not have worked with Everett if he did not bring something significant to the table.

In the meantime, Nicole leaned back against her seat and furrowed her brows, seemingly contemplating something.

“What are you thinking?” Jared asked in a soft voice.

“I think our time is running out, so we should finish what he has started as soon as possible.” Nicole sounded determined

think that way.

Thomas looked around, and when he could not see Harvey anywhere near them, he asked, “Shall we go?”

“He won’t be coming. Perhaps he doesn’t even know you’re back,” Nicole calmly stated, noticing that Thomas was searching for Harvey.

“Alright,” he replied while hiding his true feelings about Harvey’s absence.

Nicole shot him another glance but refrained from saying more. They then exited the airport altogether and got into a car.

“Should we head back to Royal Creek Institute?” Nicole asked Thomas.

“Royal Creek it is. I don’t have anywhere else to go.” Thomas said, his eyes downcast.

Although he had already made a decision, there was still a sliver of hope in his heart that Harvey would stop and change for the better. That way, he could consider compromising for his grandson’s sake, but as he could see, Harvey had disappointed him once again.

“Mr. Ellison, enduring the most difficult times often leads to a turn for the better,”

Nicole quipped after sensing what he was thinking of.

“I know. I’m just holding onto a glimmer of hope.” Thomas sighed.

“Your hope will soon become a reality,” Nicole reassured with a reasonable measure of confidence.

The lesson given to Harvey this time would be one that he would never forget.

Nodding, Thomas looked at her and smiled. “Alright, I’ll wait for your good news then.”

In no time, they arrived at Royal Creek Institute, where they pulled up at Thomas’s humble dormitory.

Thomas scanned the room that had not changed during his absence and immediately knew that Nicole had tasked a cleaner to tidy it up for him on a regular basis.

“Thank you for going through all this trouble for me.” Thomas sighed.

Nicole had taken good care of everything while he was away, and if it was not for her decision to send him abroad, Harvey might have used him as another chess piece to threaten her.

Harvey stood in stark contrast to Nicole, who would regularly check in on him from time to time while he was away. The accommodation that he had been living in, as well as the caretaker who had been tending to him all this time were all paid for and arranged by Nicole. This had led him to wonder if Nicole or Harvey was his family. At this rate, he just could not tell anymore.

“Mr. Ellison? Since Harvey doesn’t know you’re back yet, please get some rest.

I’ll take care of everything else,” Nicole said.

She could tell that Thomas was sad, so she did not want to disturb him. She figured that he should have some time to himself.

“Okay, you should go home too.” Thomas nodded in response.

After Nicole had left, Thomas sighed and wandered around, feeling beat. Then, he went up to his desk, took a document out, and began reading through it…

As for Nicole, she was greeted by Lulu the instant she stepped into her office.

“Welcome back.”

“Thanks.” Nicole looked at Lulu and handed her a document. “Thomas is back at Royal Creek, and someone is taking care of him.”

This was the last project they had to bag. Once they had seized it, all the major projects belonging to Ellison Group would be in their hands. Then, the company would soon suffer a financial crisis, which would rock Harvey to the very core of his being. And when Harvey finally gave in, Thomas would step up and the entire ordeal would then come to an end.

“Harvey should behave himself after this.” Lulu commented, feeling a smug sense of satisfaction.
