Ch. 2806..2810: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2806-2810

Chapter 2806

“Yeah, they won’t stay mad at you for long once they know that you’re happy and doing well for yourself,” June chimed in.

After all, most parents had only one wish for their children – for them to be happy and successful.

“Yes, I will,” Cherry nodded.

She knew her parents wanted nothing but the best for her, and she was willing to make concessions with everything except for her relationship. Once she had set her mind to being committed to one particular, she would absolutely not settle with others. Unlike other people, this was a compromise she would never make.

“Alright, here’s to your happiness,” Lulu said, raising her glass first.

“Thank you,” Cherry responded, and lifted her glass as well.

Others then followed suit, toasting to Cherry and wishing her well for the years to come. But like every farewell toast, this one carried a tinge of sadness too, and the atmosphere soon became less festive.

After putting their glasses down, Cherry motioned for everyone to start digging in. While they were at it, Lulu decided to lighten up the mood by coming up with topics for everyone to chat about.

“How about we play a game?” Lulu suggested after noticing how crestfallen everyone looked.

“What game?” June asked, her interest piqued.

“How about Truth or Dare? Those who fail to answer truthfully or perform the dare must drink,” Lulu proposed.

Although farewells were melancholic by default, Cherry was leaving for the sake of her future and happiness. As such, everyone should pipe down on the gloomy faces and offer their blessings to her instead.

“Okay, let’s play Truth or Dare,” everyone quickly agreed.

Lulu then grabbed a spoon and placed it on a small plate. She gently spun, causing it to spin until it stopped and pointed at Samuel.

“Ah-ha, it’s Samuel!” everyone exclaimed cheerfully. “Truth or dare. Come on, Samuel, pick one.” “Fine, I’ll pick Truth,” Samuel shrugged, following the rules.

Lulu’s eyes twinkled as she suddenly turned to look in June’s direction.” Okay. Now spill the beans! When was your first kiss with June?” “Lulu!” June instantly blushed and glared at her. “Samuel was the one who lost, not me.”

June was sitting there, wondering if Lulu’s question was a punishment for Samuel or her.

“Hahaha, I’m asking Samuel,” Lulu remained unfazed, and began chortling even more loudly.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

“Are you sure it won’t come around to you later?” Samuel asked Lulu with his brows raised upon noticing that June was not totally on board with him answering the question.

Lulu choked for a moment and instinctively turned to look at Spencer. Lulu’s question might be a Pyrrhic victory, and if she was not careful, what went around would come around.

“Alright then, let’s change the question,” Lulu backpedaled.

Everyone burst into laughter and continued the game. After a few spins, the spoon stopped and pointed at Tia’s general direction.

Tia’s face became red with nervousness at an instant.

”I-I’ll take the drink,” she stuttered.

With that, she took her glass and emptied it in a single gulp.

“Hey!” Lulu stood up in an effort to stop Tia, but it was already too late by then. “Even if you admit defeat, you don’t have to drink so quickly. Be careful. You might get drunk.”

Tia wiped the corners of her mouth and said, “It’s okay.” “Let’s continue,” Lulu spun the spoon again.

Something weird occurred soon after. Ever since Tia admitted defeat and drank for the first time, the spoon started acting like it had been enchanted, consistently pointing at Tia whenever someone spun it. This left Tia with no choice but to keep drinking.

“June, you should spin it,” Lulu suggested.

She gave June the spoon, as she did not have the heart to keep making Tia drink. However, no matter who took charge of the spoon, the result would always be the same: it would always stop at Tia. It had even become so apparent that everyone began to exchange puzzled glances at what was happening.

“Erm, maybe you should choose Truth? I could ask you some simple questions, Tia,” Lulu suggested.

She was afraid Tia would be inebriated if the game continued at the rate it was going.

“No thank you,” Tia rejected Lulu’s suggestion, after which she grabbed her glass and chugged her drink down again.

She did not want to answer anything, even if the questions Lulu had offered to ask her were simple. It was obvious that this game revolved around topics of personal gossip, making it hard for her to predict what was coming.

“Let me help you with that,” Stanley said, before taking Tia’s wine glass away and chugging it down on her behalf.

Tia looked at Stanley in surprise. She wanted to say something, but silence was all she could muster. She just could not find the words.

“Alright, let’s continue,” Lulu immediately called everyone back to the game, and they continued playing.

From that point onward, Stanley went on to handle all the drinks, regardless of whether the turn was his or Tia’s. Not only did he drink on Tia’s behalf in all of the subsequent rounds, but he also gave all of his turns up.

“Lulu, that’s enough. Don’t get him hammered,” June pulled Lulu aside and reminded her.

To that. Lulu agreed, “Okay, let’s take a break.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

Tia kept her eyes trained on Stanley, for she was worried that he might get drunk.

The moment everyone called for a break, she breathed a sigh of relief and handed a cup of warm water to Stanley. “You should have some warm water.” “Thank you,” Stanley took the glass and drank a few sips from it.

“I should be the one thanking you,” Tia whispered. “Actually, you don’t need to help me. I can handle it myself.”

Worried, Stanley raised an eyebrow and looked at Tia. “But you’re already tipsy.”

Given the situation, her words were not convincing at all.

However, Tia simply bit her lip and replied, “It is my own business.”

Then, in a move she totally did not see coming, Stanley gave Tia a somewhat helpless look and said. “Your business is my business too.”

Tia’s mind blanked out as the words stunned her at an instant. For the next few seconds, she was left sitting there, confused about whether she had heard him correctly or not.

“Stanley,” Cherry, who was holding a wine glass, approached and interrupted him.

“You guys go ahead. I need to use the bathroom,” Tia left, wearing a stiff expression as she walked off.

In response, Stanley frowned and turned to Cherry. “What’s the matter?” “Nothing, I just want to thank you,” Cherry said, before filling Stanley’s cup with wine and handing it to him. “Seriously, you have my thanks. If it weren’t for you, I would still have been stuck going through one blind date after another. Or worse, I might have been forced into marriage already.” “All we made was a deal, and you’ve helped me too,” Stanley said seriously. “Our deal is over now. I wish you nothing but happiness for the years to come.” “I wish the same for you,” Cherry nodded.

After clinking glasses. Cherry and Stanley both emptied their cups.

“In fact, both you and Tia care about each other, so don’t miss the opportunity,” Cherry advised Stanley, patting him on the shoulder. “Go after her. Trust me on this.” “I will,1’ Stanley replied, his eyes burning with determination.

His heart was set on pursuing Tia, and he was not planning to give up anytime soon or ever. For once, he was bold enough to wish for a beautiful future with Tia.

“Please remember to send me a wedding invitation when the time comes.” Cherry smiled.

“Aren’t you not returning anymore?” Stanley asked, reminding her of how unlikely it was for her to come back.

However, Cherry simply shrugged. “If you and Tia get married, I will definitely come back.” “Wait, aren’t you contradicting what you said earlier about never coming back?” Stanley teased.

Cherry then chuckled. “Well, I can always come back and leave again without telling anyone. My family are thoroughly disappointed in me now, so they probably won’t bother paying attention to me anyway.”

Chapter 2808

Ultimately, Cherry felt that her family was so upset with her that they might even consider disowning her.

Sensing Cherry’s sadness, Stanley hesitated for a moment and said, “After you leave, I think your father will approach me. I’ll try to talk him out of it.”

For a moment, Cherry’s eyes lit up. “Thank you for that.”

She knew her father had a very favorable impression of Stanley. If Stanley spoke well of her, there was a chance that her father would not be as angry and saddened by what she had done.

As they shared this sympathetic farewell, the others chatted away. No one was aware that Tia had been gone for quite some time.

“Where’s Tia?” Nicole frowned and asked after everyone had eaten their fill.

“She said she went to the restroom,” Cherry answered.

She then frowned and pursed her lips as she suddenly realized, “She has been gone for quite a long time, hasn’t she?” “I’ll go check on her,” Stanley abruptly stood up and headed toward the exit.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

With that, Cherry followed suit, “She’s in the women’s restroom.”

Stanley was so anxious that he had forgotten about the fact that he could not enter the women’s restroom.

“I hope Tia is okay,” Lulu remarked in concern.

“Let’s wait for a bit. Stanley and Cherry have gone out to look for her. They should be back soon,” June advised, though her gaze had drifted toward the exit as well.

Meanwhile, Nicole was biting her lip worrying about Tia. She was wondering what had taken Tia so long to return to the room.

After ten minutes, Cherry returned to the room alone.

“Where are they?” Lulu anxiously asked.

“Tia is really drunk. She collapsed at the entrance of the restroom. Stanley has decided to drive her back. Don’t worry. He said he will take care of her, ” Cherry explained.

“Alright, with Stanley taking care of her, we can all rest easy,” June nodded.

She then asked Nicole. “We’re almost done eating. How about we leave in a few minutes too?” “Sure,” the others agreed.

After all, the night was getting late, and everyone needed to get some good sleep for the day after.

“Let’s go then.”

As everyone stood up and prepared to leave, Cherry addressed the entire group and said, “Thank you all for coming to see me off. I won’t inform you about my departure from the airport the day after tomorrow. Farewells are a little hard for me.” “Okay, we won’t see you off. When you come back, we’ll remember to pick you up, though,” Lulu said before giving her a beaming smile.

“I think I’ll be back soon.” Cherry returned the smile. “My return will depend on Stanley and Tia.” “That might be sooner than expected!” they said, whereupon everyone shared a knowing laugh.

After that dinner, everyone in the room had a clearer understanding of Stanley’s feelings for Tia. If Stanley could just be a little more straightforward with his intentions, the moment they had all been waiting for would not be far off.

As everyone was about to leave, Cherry noticed a group of people coming out from the adjacent private room.

At the front was Harvey, and behind him were a few people whom Nicole could recognize with a single glance.

“Harvey still hasn’t given up,” Lulu muttered, catching Nicole’s attention.

The men in the other room were the executives of the companies Nicole had secured all those projects from. It seemed that Harvey had invited them for a meal, most likely to discuss project-related matters.

Harvey was standing frozen with his mouth agape, as he did not expect to run into Nicole and the others. Both sides were taken by surprise, making the situation very awkward for everyone involved.

“Let’s go,” June called out, breaking the silence.

Both parties gradually walked away without greeting the other side, pretending as if they had not bumped into each other at all.

Chapter 2809

After leaving the restaurant, Lulu burst into laughter. “Did you see that, Nicole? The expression on Harvey’s face was absolutely priceless.” “Those executives didn’t look too pleased either,” June added.

Though she did not know the specifics, she knew enough to infer that Harvey was trying to make things difficult for Nicole.

“They were just feeling very awkward. It’s fine. It won’t affect our partnerships with them,” Lulu explained.

Upon hearing this, June nodded in understanding and smiled. “That’s good, then.”

June understood the situation. Nicole and her team were collaborating with the executives, and coincidentally, Harvey had also invited them out, wanting to work with them. Hence, the meeting had taken a very awkward turn.

“Alright, let’s all go home and get some sleep.” “Goodbye everyone.”

After bidding each other their round of farewells, everyone got into their cars and left the restaurant.

Just as Nicole and Jared were about to leave, the car suddenly came to a halt.

“What is Harvey up to?” Max said, sounding very displeased.

Looking up, Nicole noticed that Harvey was standing in the way of their car, obstructing them. If Max had not floored the brakes, Harvey would have been injured.

The little stunt he pulled left Nicole wondering if Harvey had a death wish. But even if he did, the last thing she wanted was to be held responsible for his death.

“Get out of the car, Nicole!” Harvey shouted as he came over to the window and knocked on it.

She rolled the window down, and in a tone of cold indifference, she told him, “I don’t have anything to say to you.” “Harvey actually thought I’ll get out of the car just because he asked. Gosh, the entitlement of this dude. Who does he think he is?’ she thought.

“Your little scheme worked well, I see,” Harvey said, infuriated.

The one thing he dreaded, and the last thing he had expected was that he would not be able to salvage the current situation even after he had approached the executives personally.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

“Strength and intelligence are essential in business,” Nicole said, remaining calm.

Regardless of whether she had conspired against him or not, Harvey’s motives were questionable too. That was why he did not reserve the right to pin the blame on anyone else for his failure.

“Why you!” Harvey seethed.

He was so angry that his face turned from red to white. He was also left in total speechlessness, unable to summon a reasonable retort against what Nicole had just said to his face.

“Mr. Ellison, I suggest you stop wasting your time with me. Why not think about what the next step going forward for Ellison Group is?” Nicole replied and rolled the window up again, separating her from Harvey.

Harvey was left fuming as the car sped away from “Nicole, you better watch yourself!” he bellowed. ‘How dare she disrespect me like this! Does she really think she will win for sure?!’

Nicole, who was in the car, seemed to have heard him but chose to ignore him regardless.

And while he was left choking on his own anger on the streets, his assistant approached him cautiously. Mr. Ellison?” “Get lost! Don’t let me see you again!” Harvey roared, startling his assistant who recoiled a few steps back.

“Mr. Ellison, I’ll try to contact a few executives again, hoping to get US another chance,” his assistant slowly and carefully said.

“Do you think I haven’t been disgraced enough? There’s nothing left here for you! Scram!” Harvey shouted.

Upon recalling the amount of humiliation he had suffered today, Harvey could not stand it any longer. He did not want to see his assistant anymore, not even for a second longer.

“Yes, I’ll leave now,” his assistant ran away at once, feeling a strange sense of relief while he did.

With the assistant gone, Harvey’s mood worsened.

“Get out of my way. Get lost!” Harvey threw a tantrum.

In a fit of rage, he kicked a car parked next to him, setting off its alarm.

The blaring of the alarm startled him. Just as he was about to berate the car as well, his assistant returned and quickly pulled him onto their vehicle before speeding away.

“Mr. Ellison! Please don’t act impulsively,” he said in an attempt to console Harvey.

“Don’t bother me. Didn’t I tell you to leave?” Harvey responded, his voice cold and low.
