Ch. 2846..2850: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2846-2850
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2846-Nicole smirked, “Mom, there’s really nothing for you to worry about. Grandpa had decided to announce it today just because everyone was present.”
“Oh, that’s good,” Gloria said, not feeling as tensed up now. ” My only problem lies in the fact that it was just so sudden. I think I just need some time to process this information.”
“I too did not expect that Grandpa would appoint his successor today, but since he has already done it, we’ll just follow through with his wishes. Sean is on board too,” Nicole explained, telling her parents why she and Sean were in agreement with Benjamin’s ruling.
“Alright then. It’s settled.” Daniel nodded.
They were in no position to change anything, and the idea of Sean inheriting the vast fortunes of the Riddle family was not something they should frown at either.
“I have a question. When we were leaving, why did Karen make Preston stay?”
Lulu frowned and asked.
“We all know what she’s thinking about. Let’s just not entertain any of her crap.
Don’t worry about it. Dillion and Preston won’t join in on her madness,” June chimed in, her lips pursed in annoyance.
“Oh, so you’re saying that…” Lulu’s eyes widened as a sudden realization dawned upon her.
Then, she gritted her teeth and asked, “Is she never going to repent for her actions? I mean, come on. Has she not learned her lesson?”
It seemed that Karen had failed to understand why she ought to back down and live the rest of her life in peace, even after all the suffering she had experienced when she was out there living in the streets.
“It’s okay, she won’t be able to do anything. All she can do is think about it,”
Nicole calmly replied.
“That’s true. She won’t ever make it anywhere by herself,” Lulu agreed.
Even if Karen was unhappy with Benjamin’s decision, there was nothing she could do to change his mind or turn the situation around.
“It’s getting late. Let’s all get some sleep.” Nicole looked at Nolan and Lana, who were already swaying back and forth drowsily in Jared’s arms.
“Okay.” Everyone nodded, having noticed that Nolan and Lana were exhausted.
Soon, everyone returned to their respective rooms, and after Nicole and Jared had tucked the little ones in, they did the same as well.
“You must be tired, huh?” Jared asked upon noticing that Nicole was feeling a little weary.
“It’s okay,” Nicole softly muttered, her eyes already trained on the bed.
She was indeed ready for a good sleep. Seeing that her attention was already on the bed, Jared smiled and led Nicole toward it.
After placing her down and tucking her in, Jared gently kissed her in the forehead and said, “Sleep well.”
Nicole chuckled and reached out to hug Jared, after which she planted a gentle kiss on his lips. “Goodnight.”
Following an affectionate rub on her head, Jared embraced her. “Goodnight.”
Nicole cuddled up to Jared and fell asleep soon after, looking nothing short of happy in his embrace.
Then, Jared watched her as he gently stroked her face, his eyes brimming with love and affection for her.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and before they knew it, two days had passed. On the third day, Nicole came to Riddle Corporation as usual.
“Mr. Ellison!?” Nicole called out, surprised to see Thomas.” Why are you here?”
“I came because I’d like to ask for your help.” Thomas sighed.
Nicole narrowed her eyes upon hearing that. “Is it about Harvey?”
Thomas hesitated for a moment as he looked at Nicole.” Can we talk about it in private?”
“Sure, come on in,” Nicole said, leading Thomas into the office.
After they had both taken a seat, the secretary came in with two cups of coffee.
“Mr. Ellison? I must tell you that I probably won’t be able to help you with anything,” Nicole candidly stated, knowing what Thomas’s intentions were.
“I know. It’s just that I can’t think of anyone else who can do it other than you,”
Thomas sighed. “Harvey hasn’t shown any signs of improvement for the past few days. I’m genuinely worried that he’ll keep deteriorating if he keeps this up.”
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2847-“How are you so sure that I can motivate him?” Nicole asked in frustration, thinking that anything she said would not get through to Harvey.
In fact, she must be the last person Harvey wanted to see right now.
Understanding what Nicole’s doubts were, Thomas explained, “But you might be the turning point.”
Nicole was quite certain that Harvey would hate her. If that was the case, however, Harvey would never have allowed himself to become a broken shell of himself. If anything, he would be reluctant to accept defeat. Because of this, Thomas believed that Nicole was the only one who could bring Harvey back to who he used to be. There was just no other way around it, and he would take that shot, regardless of how slim their chances were at succeeding.
Nicole looked at Thomas and hesitated. She did not have the heart to decline his request outright. She genuinely did not care about Harvey, but the same could not be said for Thomas.
After considering it for a moment, she agreed, “Alright then. I’ll pay him a visit today after I’m done with my work.”
Overcome with gratitude and relief, Thomas nodded. “Thank you so much in advance.”
“Don’t thank me yet. I’m not sure if this will work,” Nicole said.
She had her share of doubts about Thomas’ plan, but at this rate, she had no choice but to give it a shot.
“Regardless of what the outcome is, I must still thank you,” Thomas replied. “I know I’m making things difficult for you, but I’m thankful that you’re willing to help me out. No matter what happens, you’ve got a million thanks from me.”
Thomas understood that Nicole had agreed to do this only because she cared about him. She would likely turn a blind eye to Harvey if it was not for her consideration of Thomas.
Nicole sighed after Thomas had left. She then grabbed the file and brought it to the table, struggling to believe that Harvey was actually so fragile and spoiled.
‘Forget it. I’m helping myself by helping Thomas anyway.
Ellison Group is not an average run-of-the-mill company. I really don’t want to be in charge of it. I’ll just get Harvey to shoulder the responsibility instead,’ she thought.
Soon, the end of the workday arrived, and Lulu came marching into Nicole’s office.
“Why did you insist on me coming back?” Lulu asked, serious and anxious when she entered the room.
Nicole would not have called her over if there were no important developments on her end, so Lulu figured that something might have happened.
In response, Nicole looked at Lulu and said, “Come with me to the hospital.”
“The hospital?” Lulu asked, frowning.
Then, her eyes widened in surprise. “Are you going to visit Harvey?”
Lulu figured that Harvey must be the reason for Nicole’s sudden decision to pay the hospital a visit at this time, as there was no one else she could think of who was currently admitted for an injury or condition of any sort.
“Yes, Thomas came over for a chat today,” Nicole confirmed.
Lulu instantly nodded her head in understanding. “And you agreed to his request.”
“He personally came over to beg me for help, so how could I possibly decline him?” Nicole answered and paused for a moment. “On the bright side, it’ll be good news for us too if Harvey returns to normal.”
“You’re right. We should let Harvey handle his own company. ” Lulu nodded.
Although Thomas had ceded control of Ellison Group to Nicole for now, it was a move made to prevent Harvey from wreaking havoc rather than a direct handover of the company to her.
“Come on then,” Nicole stood up and walked out of the office with Lulu.
“Ms. Riddle?” Patricia greeted, already holding the door and standing in wait for them.
Lulu then smiled at Patricia, and asked, “Are you coming with us?”
“Yes,” Patricia replied without any further explanation.
She was tagging along for the sake of Nicole safety, and her task today was to ensure that nobody would get to harm Nicole. She was not only there to protect Nicole from Harvey but also from those operating in the shadows as well.
After they had gotten into the car, Patricia ignited the engine and drove them to the hospital.
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2848-Lulu chatted all the way to the hospital, reaching a point where she asked Patricia, “So how’s Ellar?”
“He’s better now, but he has not fully recovered. That was why he did not dare to return to the Riddle family manor last night,” Patricia explained.
“Oh well, everyone thought he was abroad, so no one bothered to ask for the specifics,” Lulu added and paused.” Wait, is he coming back to attend Emery’s wedding? I mean, it is around the corner.”
Patricia frowned, uncertain of what Ellar’s decision would be. Emery’s wedding was about a week away, and as one of Emery’s closest family members, Ellar should be there for the occasion. No matter how busy he was, he should never miss his brother’s wedding. It would be difficult to explain Ellar’s absence if he did.
‘ Patricia, please keep a close eye on him from here on out. Even if he can’t fully recover in time, he must still attend the wedding. In the event that he’s exposed, just tell everyone he sustained a minor injury during an accident while he was abroad,” Nicole instructed Patricia.
“Yes, I understand,” Patricia replied, realizing there was no other option at this point.
After a while, the car pulled over at the entrance of the hospital, whereupon the trio got out of the car.
“Hey Lulu. I think you should get some fruits,” Nicole reminded.
“What? Do I have to buy him something?” Lulu protested with reluctance written all over her face.
Nicole chuckled. “You can’t visit a patient empty-handed. That would just be inappropriate.”
“Well, if this was someone else, sure, we can’t visit empty- handed, but this is Harvey we’re talking about here,” Lulu argued, not wanting to waste a dime on him.
“Come on. Just get on with it,” Nicole reassured Lulu with a pat on her shoulder.
Although Lulu remained unwilling, she still did what Nicole asked her to do. After a while, she returned with a basket of fruits, and the group entered the hospital, arriving at the ward shortly.
“Mr. Ellison?” they greeted Thomas.
“I see everyone is here.” Thomas nodded with relief as if he could now see a sliver of hope.
After placing the basket of fruits down, Lulu glanced over at Harvey. She was frowning but she did not have anything to say to him.
Meanwhile, Nicole approached the bedside, looking at the dejected Harvey before issuing a sigh. “Do you plan to spend the rest of your days on this hospital bed?”
Hearing Nicole’s voice, Harvey slowly raised his head in dismay. “Are you here to mock me?”
“So what if I say yes?” Nicole admitted.
“Why you!” Harvey’s face turned purple with rage.
He gritted his teeth, and then, in a tone indicative of helplessness and defeat, he replied, “Well, you’re right. The only thing I’m worthy of now is mockery.”
To Harvey, they lived a “winner-takes-all” sort of world, and now, he felt that he was set up to be a loser from the very beginning.
Nicole narrowed her eyes, and that was when she turned to the others and said, “You guys may leave for now.”
“Nicole?” Lulu shook her head, disagreeing with her approach.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine,” Nicole nodded confidently.
No matter if today’s talk went well or not, Nicole was confident that Harvey wouldn’t hurt her. Even if he attempted to, she knew she could defend herself.
Plus, if needed, Patricia could step in to help restrain Harvey, giving them the upper hand.
“Call me if you need anything, Ms. Riddle,” Patricia reminded Nicole before leaving.
Thomas and Lulu followed suit, but the latter was still looking back at Nicole with worry written all over her face. In turn, Nicole flashed her a slight smile, indicating that she would be fine.
Once everyone had left, Nicole turned her gaze to Harvey.
“Initially, I didn’t even want to give a damn about you. But then, your grandfather came to me for help because he doesn’t want to see you in this state,” Nicole cut to the chase.
“For better or worse, my business has nothing to do with him, ” Harvey said, believing that his grandfather did not truly care about him.
If Thomas did, Harvey would not have been left in this miserable state right now.
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2849-“I thought so too. But your grandfather told me he had to try. Otherwise, the entirety of Ellison Group will be mine,” Nicole said.
Then, she smirked and continued, The only price I have to pay is that I’ll have to take care of him until the very end of his life.”
“Don’t you even dare think about it!” Harvey roared, instantly overcome with rage.
In response, Nicole shrugged her shoulders. “Oh, what are you going to do about it?”
”1 won’t let you do whatever the hell you want, and I sure as hell won’t let you have your way!” Harvey bellowed.
“How are you going to do that? You’re going to fight back while lying on the hospital bed?” Nicole feigned surprise and gave Harvey a mocking stare.
She was not threatened by Harvey at all.
“Nicole!” Harvey suddenly got up from the bed and stared her down with a murderous glare.
With a slight smile, Nicole sized Harvey up before nodding in approval. “Not bad. I see you can actually stand up now. I thought you were planning to lie down like a vegetable for the rest of your life.”
After a slight delay, Harvey raised his brow in complete puzzlement.
Then, his expression changed, and he gritted his teeth.” Nicole, you’re plotting against me again!?”
“Don’t get so worked up,” Nicole said, taking on a much more serious tone now.
“Mr. Ellison really did make an effort for you. I may not have the right to interfere in the affairs of your family or comment about everything that has happened in the previous generation. However, you should
know that he has always loved and cared for you, even though he did mess up in the past.
If it weren’t for Thomas going out of his way to give his grandson a better life, Harvey would not have accomplished what he had thus far with relative ease.
Nicole’s words left Harvey speechless there and then. In fact, he was aware of these things himself. Though he felt that it was Thomas’ way of atoning for the sins of his past, he still felt that he deserved every single favor that Thomas owed him.
After a moment of contemplation, Harvey bit his tongue and said, “That is none of your business.”
Nicole shrugged, indifferent to what Harvey just said. “I know, and that’s why I don’t want to get involved.”
Then, she looked at him calmly and continued, “But please remember, although Ellison Group is still under your name, you have signed an agreement with me.
If you can’t manage the company properly, I will have to consider other options.”
“Don’t you dare!” Harvey threatened through gritted teeth.
“I’m not your grandfather, Harvey.” Nicole sneered, knowing he could go ahead and test her.
After saying that, Nicole left the ward in long strides. She had said everything she needed to say and done what needed to be done. What happened next would depend on the choices Harvey would make.
Of course, if Harvey ended up becoming a disappointment again, she would have to seriously consider other options. After all, she could not just sit and watch as Ellison Group crumbled into ruins.
Speechless, Harvey could only open his mouth without saying a word as she watched her recede from view. After a minute or two, Thomas entered the room.
“Are you okay?” Thomas came up to Harvey’s side and looked at him.
A conflicted expression manifested on Harvey’s face when he saw how caring his grandfather looked, after which he snorted and laid back down on the bed.
Thomas’ eyes carried a hint of amusement as he raised his brows. It seemed to him that Harvey should be fine now.
“Well, I’ll let you get some rest, then,” Thomas said and left, knowing that Harvey needed some time and space to reflect.
“He should be okay now.” Thomas flashed Nicole a smile, overcome with gratitude. “I really have to thank you this time.”
Nicole returned the smile and shook her head. “No need to thank me. Now that we’ve done what we came here to do, we’ll be leaving.”
“Alright, have a safe trip back,” Thomas nodded. “I’m going home too.”
“Why?” Lulu asked in confusion.
Lulu thought Thomas was supposed to stay and watch over Harvey, so she was puzzled by the idea that he was going home too.
“He’ll have a quicker recovery in my absence,” Thomas explained.
If he stayed, Harvey might still behave in an awkward manner for a few more days.
“Oh.” Lulu nodded in understanding.
With all that was said and done, she was not interested in their affairs. She could care less as long as everything was fine.
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2850-Nicole left the hospital with Lulu and Patricia after Thomas was gone.
“Oh yeah! I can’t wait till Harvey is back in charge of Ellison Group. I can finally return to you guys in Riddle Corporation!” Lulu exclaimed, feeling a sense of relief.
Nicole could not help but chuckle at how happy Lulu was.” For all your troubles, I’ll treat you to lunch later.”
“What do you think about Fish and Chips?” Lulu instantly asked, her eyes lit up in anticipation.
“I don’t see why that is a problem,” Nicole said, rolling her eyes. “Shall we call June over so that she can join us?”
“Sure,” Lulu replied, before giving June a call and telling her to meet at their usual spot.
Meanwhile, Harvey’s assistant had come into the ward after everyone was gone. “Are you alright, Mr. Ellison?”
Narrowing his eyes, Harvey ordered, “Get me discharged.”
“Yes, sir,” his assistant agreed.
“Get all of your preparations done. We’re going back to the company tomorrow,”
Harvey declared, determined and resolute.
Shocked by his recovery, his assistant asked, “Are you going back to the company for real?”
“Why? Is that a problem?” Harvey retorted with displeasure.
“Why not at all! We can definitely do that,” his assistant exclaimed, enthusiastic as ever because everyone in the company would be delighted to hear about the fact that Harvey was now back in action.
Impatient, Harvey glanced over at his assistant. “Aren’t you going to start now?”
“Yes, I’ll make the preparations now,” his assistant replied and hurried off.
Now alone, Harvey gazed out of the window and thought, ‘I won’t let Nicole benefit from this. She is currently overseeing Ellison Group, but I believe I’ll be able to find a way to regain control of the company.’ With a bright fire of determination kindling in his eyes, Harvey continued, ‘I won’t give you the chance to mock me again, Nicole. Don’t you even dream about taking Ellison Group over.’ Meanwhile, Nicole and the others had already arrived at the restaurant, where the dining hall was filled with the distinct and delicious aroma of their famous Fish and Chips dish wafting from the fryer.
“Oh, nothing beats the taste of fish and chips, I tell you,” Lulu said after sitting down.
After ordering three portions of the restaurant’s signature dish, Lulu asked, “Do you want to drink?”
No, I’ll take a glass of fruit juice,” Nicole declined, shaking her head.
“I’ll have fruit juice too,” June echoed.
Patricia had to drive, so she could not drink as well, leaving Lulu to enjoy her alcoholic beverage alone.
“You guys are so boring,” Lulu muttered, feeling that all of the fun had been taken away from having to drink alone.
After ordering three glasses of fruit juice for them, Lulu looked at June with her forehead creased. “I find it strange. Why aren’t you drinking today? Usually, you would join me or even be the one to suggest it.”
“I haven’t been drinking for a long time now.” June smiled, feeling a little embarrassed.
With her eyes on June, Lulu frowned and scrutinized the look on her face.
“You’re not pregnant, are you?”
It seemed to her that only women who were pregnant would be so concerned about abstinence from alcohol.
Not yet.” June blushed.
