Ch. 2811..2815: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2811-2815

Chapter 2811

“So, this is the reason why you’re so determined to teach Harvey a lesson?” Jared asked as he shot Nicole a glance.

Following a short pause, Nicole admitted, “Yes. We can only enjoy our peace of mind once he has been completely subdued.”

A glint of amusement crossed Jared’s eyes when he heard those words. He knew that the current situation with Ellison Group and the executives was already a massive blow dealt to Harvey, but it seemed to him that Nicole and the others had no plans to stop at that just yet. If anything, there was more in store for Harvey. She was far from done with him.

Nicole smiled, embraced Jared’s arm, and leaned on his shoulder. As far as her feud with Harvey was concerned, she just hoped it would end soon and consider it another one of her issues settled.

Meanwhile, Stanley and Tia had already returned home.

After getting out of the car, Stanley accompanied Tia as she staggered her way to the house at the back.

Tia’s hands and feet were wobbly and flailing after one too many drinks, and she did not seem to be able to walk on her own.

Then Tia, owing to her impaired vision and judgment, tripped over a rock. “Ah!”

“Be careful!”

Caught off guard and unprepared, Stanley lost his balance attempting to stop Tia from falling, and the both of them tumbled onto the lawn.

“Ugh,” Stanley groaned.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

He had managed to catch Tia, but not without tipping over himself.

Tia’s forehead landed on Stanley’s chest, causing a pang of pain to radiate to the rest of her head. The resultant pounding in her head made her open her eyes drowsily, and upon lifting her head, Stanley’s face was the first thing she saw. In fact, his face was so close that she could almost feel his breath.

Tia then fumbled around and reached out to touch Stanley’s eyebrows and eyes while murmuring, “Am I dreaming?

“It must be a dream. If not, how could something like this be happening?” Tia laughed in self deprecation. ‘I’d never dare to approach Stanley unless I’m in a dream. Besides, I’m so close to him now. So close that I’m even hugging him.’

Concerned, Stanley asked, “Are you alright?”

Tia continued to stare at Stanley, and touched his face. “It’s so good to dream about you.”

Stanley paused for a moment before he came to understand what Tia was mumbling about.

He issued a sigh of defeat, held Tia’s hand, and softly murmured, “It’s not a dream.”

“Is it not a dream?” Tia asked in complete puzzlement. “If it’s not a dream, how could we be together?”

She could not conceive that something like this was happening in real time. To her, it was simply not possible for them to be so close, let alone be in a position where they were essentially hugging each other.

After breathing another sigh, Stanley gently ruffled Tia’s hair.

“I swear it’s not a dream.”

“Are you sure?” Tia asked, tilting her head in disbelief.

“Of course. Now, let’s get up,” Stanley said.

Stanley did not feel that Tia was too heavy, even though she was pressing against him. However, he needed to restrain himself from acting out of his thoughts at the moment, especially with Tia, who was in a state of inebriated dizziness and confusion. Her literally being on top of him had caused a bunch of wild thoughts to race in his mind.

After looking up and down, Tia blinked her eyes and came to realize how embarrassing the situation was. ‘Oh my gosh! How did I end up laying on him!’

“What are you looking at? Get up now,” Stanley ordered, suppressing his thoughts.

“Oh, okay,” Tia replied.

She hurriedly scrambled to her feet and balanced herself on Stanley’s sturdy arms.

Her hands on his chest had indeed caused his mind to go up in a frenzy. He was frowning at the fact that she had stirred something within her, and what followed was a pained and conflicted look on his face.

Stanley sighed in relief after Tia got up. Following her lead, he stood up as well.

However, Tia’s legs were still a little wonky and unsteady from all the heavy drinking. She simply stood there, swaying for a moment, before nearly tipping over again.

“Ah!” Tia cried out as a sharp pain shot up her ankle.

Catching this in a split second, he quickly reached out and grabbed her before she could fall. “What’s wrong?”

“I think I twisted my ankle,” Tia said.

The sudden pang of pain soon sobered her up, and Stanley was left to crouch down and examine the injury in Tia’s foot.

“Ouch!” Tia flinched in pain.

“You’ve sprained it,” Stanley informed.

Feeling sorry for her, he stood up and proposed, “Let’s get you back to your place. I’ll apply some medicine for you.”

“Thanks,” Tia thanked softly.

As Tia attempted to limp her way back home, Stanley decided to pick her up.

Instinctively holding onto Stanley’s neck, Tia looked at him in surprise and asked, “What are you doing?”

“You shouldn’t move when you’re injured,” Stanley reminded Tia, and held onto her even tighter.

Upon looking up, she saw Stanley’s visage hovering over her. She bit her lip, feeling a cocktail of complex emotions about the situation.

For the first time ever, she truly felt that he was by her side. They were so close together, and in that moment of closeness, she felt that he could truly be relied on. She could even feel his strong heartbeat alongside her own, which seemed to be racing faster with each passing second. Then, she quickly averted her gaze, afraid to look at him any longer.

After taking Tia back to her room, Stanley grabbed the medical kit from the other room, came back, and brought the ointments out.

“I can do it on my own, thanks,” Tia said in an attempt to stop him.

She felt very uncomfortable seeing him crouching over and helping her out with her twisted foot.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

In response, Stanley glanced at her and explained, “This isn’t just about applying an ointment to the affected area. You have to massage it as well. It will heal your injury quicker that way.”

With that, Stanley proceeded to apply the medicinal cream to Tia’s ankle and massaged it.

The initial wave of coldness from the medicine was soon replaced by a sudden surge of pain, prompting Tia to draw a deep breath and hiss. “Ah, it hurts.”

Try enduring it a little longer,” he said.

Stanley felt bad for her, but knew that if he stopped administering treatment now, it would result in her suffering for several more days, rendering her unable to walk freely.

And though he was not letting up on the massage, he began to ease the pressure he was applying by a little.

Concurrently, Tia also came to the understanding that enduring this pain would only expedite the recovery process, so she gritted her teeth and refrained from crying out loud.

While Stanley was focusing on massaging her injured ankle, Tia asked, “After Cherry is gone, how do you plan to explain everything to your family and hers?”

Tia had been worried about Stanley ever since she learned the truth of their relationship from Cherry. With Cherry gone, he would have to deal with the fallout of their little act on his own.

Although the both of them had planned everything thoroughly, there was a possibility that the Jean family would refuse to accept their explanation. In addition to that, the Riddle family might get infuriated with Stanley’s choice of actions too.

Stanley paused for a moment, and he hesitated for a moment before continuing with the massage. “Don’t worry.

I’ll be fine.”

“But Gloria will be heartbroken and the Jean family will blame you for deceiving them, especially once you take into account that they absolutely detest the man Cherry is in a relationship with,” Tia argued.

It would not be easy for the Jean family to forgive Stanley since he had conspired with Cherry to help her.

Stanley then looked at Tia and replied, “By then, everything will have been settled. What can the Jean family do? Is their daughter’s happiness less important than their reputation?”

“B-But…” Tia choked up.

She knew that both him and Cherry had already considered all the possible repercussions, but she was still worried about him nonetheless.

“Don’t worry. I’ll handle everything at home too,” Stanley comforted Tia, understanding her concerns.

“Okay.” Tia nodded lightly, and stopped with her questions.

After all was said and done, Stanley withdrew his gaze and stood up. “Get some rest. Stay at home for the next two days, and don’t go anywhere. I’ll arrange for someone to handle your tasks for you.”

Chapter 2813

“There’s no need for that,” Tia declined.

But upon seeing how determined Stanley looked, she hesitated for a moment and relented. “I understand.”

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Stanley’s eyes, after which he advised Tia, “If you want to recover quickly, just listen to my instructions, stay home, and be good.”

Then, he turned around and exited the house.

Tia was left to stare at his departing figure in confusion, her mind echoing his gentle words, ‘Stay home and be good.’

Overwhelmed by a feeling she could not even begin to describe, Tia blushed and her mind erupted into a whirlwind of thoughts once more.

Meanwhile, Stanley had just stepped out of the courtyard and into the house when he bumped into Nicole and Jared, who had just returned.

“Is Tia okay?” Nicole asked with concern.

“She twisted her foot, so she might need a couple of days of rest,” Stanley replied.

This left Nicole surprised. “How did she twist her foot?”

“She had too much to drink and fell over,” Stanley answered without elaborating much. “Anyway, it’s getting late, so you should get some sleep.”

“Okay, you should rest early too,” Nicole nodded.

However, she was wearing a skeptical frown on her face as she watched him rooms. ’ Something feels off with Stanley. Is there finally some progress with Tia?’

Just as she was about to contemplate on it, Jared’s voice sounded from behind. “Let’s go. Time to get some sleep.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

“Okay.” Nicole smiled and agreed.

Hand in hand, the two went upstairs, and on the way, Nicole casually asked Jared, “Have you noticed that Stanley seems different?”

“Not really,” Jared responded nonchalantly.

After all, he had not paid much attention to Stanley.

“Are you serious?” Nicole asked in puzzlement.

Then, she frowned and muttered, “Why do I feel like something’s not quite right? I can’t quite explain how unusual it is, but I know that something is amiss.”

Jared tightened his grip on her hand. “You can simply ask him tomorrow.”

“Or maybe not,” Nicole said, shaking her head.

Although she was curious, she was still of the opinion that Stanley and Tia had their fair share of problems to solve. The only thing she could do now was wait for the situation to play out as it naturally should.

What she failed to notice at that moment was that Jared’s eyes had a glint of amusement about them as he glanced at her.

Once she had returned to her room, Nicole went to the bathroom with her pajamas in hand. She too was feeling a little dizzy, for she had one too many drinks earlier. All she wanted to do now was to take a warm shower and go to bed.

However, the night would not end the way she had expected, as Jared proceeded to follow her into the bathroom.

“Why did you come in?” Nicole asked in surprise.

“I’m here for a shower too,” Jared replied calmly.

“No, you should get out now and do it after me,” she protested.

“No, let’s do it together,” he countered.

“Why must we do it together? Hey, don’t take my clothes off!”

The next day, sunlight poured into the room, and Jared awoke with a faint smile as he stared at Nicole, who was still fast asleep. He gently kissed her on the forehead, causing her to groan as if he had disturbed her. However, she did not wake up, and continued to sleep in.

Looking at Nicole affectionately, Jared covered her with the blanket. He then got up, dressed himself, and went downstairs to join the rest of his family.

“Dad, where’s Mommy?” Nolan and Lana asked.

They were a little puzzled to notice that Nicole was nowhere to be seen.

Chapter 2814

“Your mom is still fast asleep. I’ll send you to school later,” Jared explained.

“You will send us to kindergarten later?” Nolan asked, blinking his eyes in innocence.

“Oh yeah, where’s Tia, by the way?” Lana asked, finding it confusing that Jared would be the one sending them to school.

“Tia hurt her ankle, so she won’t be able to send you to kindergarten for the next two days,” Stanley’s voice blared out in reply.

“Tia got hurt? Is it serious? Is she alright? How did you know? ” The two little ones asked, bombarding Stanley with question after question.

They were both worried and curious. They also could not help but wonder how Stanley had gotten to know so much about what Tia was going through.

“Her injury is not a serious one, but she does need some rest. I was the one who brought her back home last night, so I’m aware of her condition,” Stanley calmly explained as he headed to the dining room.

“Oh,” Lana nodded, whereupon she turned to Jared. “Dad, can we go and visit Tia?”

“Let’s eat and get you to kindergarten first. We can visit Tia

after school,” Jared advised.

“Okay,” Nolan and Lana agreed upon noticing what time it already was.

After the family had breakfast, Jared left the house with Nolan and Lana.

Stanley was also about to leave, but before he could, Gloria stopped him. “About yesterday, is no one going to explain anything to me?”

“What explanation?” Stanley looked a bit bewildered. “Didn’t Nicole tell you?”

“She only said you two had dinner outside, but she didn’t say anything else,” Gloria replied while frowning. “I asked you to bring Cherry home for dinner, but you’ve arranged a meeting outside instead. What’s going on?”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

Although Nicole had reassured Gloria that everything was fine, she could still feel that something was off. She had a sneaking suspicion that Stanley might be avoiding her on purpose and did not have the guts to tell her the truth. That was why he had gotten Nicole to talk to her instead, as he knew that Nicole did not have the heart to decline such a request from him.

‘Mom, please just give me two more days. I’ll definitely explain everything to you later,” Stanley calmly requested, realizing that he would not be able to avoid telling Gloria about his situation with Cherry any longer.

However, he just could not tell Gloria the truth yet. He had to wait for two more days until had safely left the country

before he could.

Upon hearing this, Gloria grew dour and stern. “I knew it. I knew something was up.”

“Mom, it’s not as bad as you think. I can’t say it now, but I promise, I am not, and won’t be single,” Stanley solemnly assured.

Following that statement, Gloria rolled her eyes at him.” Hmm, I hope you can keep that promise, young man.”

“Don’t worry. When have I ever lied to you? Okay, look. If I break my promise this time, you can arrange a wedding for me. You get to pick the person you’re satisfied with, so long as they’re willing to marry me,” Stanley said in an attempt to assuage Gloria’s suspicions.

However, Gloria was already very unhappy with Stanley due to how little regard he had for his love life. ‘How could I bear to consign him to a lifetime of unhappiness? If the person he’s married to isn’t the one he is in love with, how could he be happy?’

“Well, let’s wait for a couple more days before we talk about it,” Daniel interrupted, easing the atmosphere.

“Mom. Dad. Don’t worry. I won’t put you in a situation where you’ll have to constantly worry about me,” Stanley assured.

He then nodded to his parents and skedaddled.

“Gosh, this child.” Gloria sighed in exasperation.

” Pipe down. Stanley has been doing fine without our intervention for all these years. I’m sure he can handle his

Chapter 2815

It was already nine in the morning when Nicole woke up.

She opened her eyes, and upon sensing the silence in the room, she instinctively glanced at the clock beside her.’ Damn it. It’s already late.’

Pursing her lips, she could not help but blame Jared for the exhaustion he had inflicted her. Then, she got out of bed.

After Nicole was done washing and dressing up, she headed downstairs to see that there was no one there. At that moment, she realized that everyone must have left the house and gotten busy with their agendas for the day.

“Damn it! Jared didn’t even wake me up!” Nicole muttered.

Then, she ordered the house butler, “Get the chauffeur ready. I’m heading to the office.”

“Understood,” the butler replied, after which he went ahead and made the arrangements for Nicole.

Soon, the driver came around, picked Nicole up, and sent her to the headquarters of Riddle Corporation. Upon arrival, she rushed into her office at once.

Lulu, who had spotted Nicole, immediately followed after her and questioned, “Why are you so late today? Did you get drunk last night?”

In Nicole’s memory, she did not imbibe heavily the night before. As such, she should not have been hammered.

Feeling a little shy, Nicole looked away. “I had to take care of something.”

She had to find an excuse to get Lulu off her heels. There was no way she could admit that she woke up late because she was exhausted after what Jared had done to her.

“Was there anything at home for you to deal with?” Lulu frowned and muttered.

Nicole did not want to continue addressing that particular topic, so she waved it off and finessed her way out of the tough spot she was in by asking, “You seemed to be in a hurry when you came over. Is there anything wrong?”

“Oh.” Lulu nodded. “Yes, there is.”

Nicole had an inkling that whatever Lulu was going to talk about would be serious, so she lowered her voice and asked, “What happened?”

“So, here’s the scoop. It has only been a day, but Ellison Group has stumbled into a financial crisis already. I’ve always felt that something is wrong.” Lulu frowned while she explained.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

“What is it?” Nicole creased her forehead.

That made no sense, as Ellison Group was solid and formidable enough to withstand a hiccup for a certain period of time.

“I’m not sure about the details, but I’ve assigned someone to look into it.” Lulu explained. “I just heard about it this morning. Harvey has been transferring huge sums of money to nurse the damage, but nothing seems to have worked.”

In order to learn the truth about what was actually happening, Lulu would have to wait for the men to complete the investigation.

“Yeah, let’s just wait for the news.” Nicole nodded.

Lulu then took a seat across Nicole, and her chin propped up on her hand, she asked, “Oh yeah, how’s Tia and Stanley?”

“Tia injured her leg when she returned home yesterday. Other than that, there’s nothing else of interest to note.” Nicole shrugged her shoulders.

But to Lulu, it seemed as if Nicole was saying, ‘I could not do much. I’m sorry. I know nothing.’

“As the saying goes, all good things come to those who wait. ” Lulu sighed.

Judging from the situation from the night before, Lulu felt that Tia and Stanley could have confessed to each other. However, no one had made any moves.

“You’re right.” Nicole smiled, believing that Lulu was right.

Then, Lulu raised her eyebrows and in a tone of concern, she added, “We’ve gotten a rough idea of what the consequences are going to be, but if things don’t go the way Cherry predicted, what are we going to do?”

Knowing that Lulu was worried about what the Jean family would do, Nicole calmly replied, “We’ll have to wait till Cherry is gone. As for the fallout, I’m sure Stanley is prepared for it.”

Even if the worst case scenario unfolded, and the Jean family refused to forgive him for conspiring with their daughter against them, there was nothing else they could do. After all, the one who had consciously decided to flee the country was their daughter. They would have no choice but to admit that nobody else was at fault but her.

After pausing for a moment, Nicole candidly expressed, “To be honest, this doesn’t concern me much at all. I’m actually more worried if Cherry will be able to find true happiness.”

If Cherry managed to secure true happiness, everything she had done thus far would be meaningful. Otherwise, none of anything she and Stanley had done would matter regardless of what the end result was.

To that, Lulu nodded in agreement. “Yeah, that’s true. But I’d like to think there won’t be any problems.”
