Ch. 2926..2930: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2926-2930

Chapter 2926

Jared was aware that what they had asked from Preston and his team might not be a simple task.

Furrowed his brow slightly, he said, "Let's visit them at Finley Group tomorrow." Nicole, considering their options, agreed.

"That's a good idea.

We might be able to help if they're stuck on something." After shutting down their computers, Nicole and Jared joined Nolan and Lana, who were busy building with blocks.

"Playing with blocks, huh? Mommy and Daddy will join you," Nicole said cheerfully.

Lana excitedly agreed, while Nolan, letting go of his blocks, said, " That's great, you guys play with her." "You're not playing?" Nicole asked, surprised.

Nolan shrugged, a look of disdain on his face.

"It's a kid's game.

I'm not interested." Nicole's lips twitched slightly as she was amused and bemused by her five-year- old's disdain for "kid's games".

Nolan, unbothered, picked up a book and started reading seriously.

Nicole shook her head, laughing lightly, and started playing with Lana.

Lana, not bothered by Nolan's disinterest, happily played with her parents.

Later that night, after tucking the kids into bed, Nicole and Jared returned to their room.

Jared gently combed Nicole's hair with his fingers and softly suggested to Nicole, "Go take a shower.

Let's get some rest." Nicole agreed and headed to the bathroom first.

After her shower, Jared dried her hair before taking his turn to shower.

When Jared returned, he found Nicole already asleep.

Looking at her peaceful face, a gentle look crossed his eyes.

He gave her a soft kiss on the forehead before lying down beside her, wrapping his arms around her, and closing his eyes to sleep.

The next day dawned bright and sunny.

After breakfast, Nicole and Jared headed to Finley Group.

They knocked on Gary's office door, and upon hearing his voice, Nicole opened the door and entered with Jared.

Inside, Ryder, Gary, and Preston were all taken aback by their arrival.

"Why are you here?!" they exclaimed in surprise.

“We're here to check on your progress," Nicole said straightforwardly.

The trio looked serious, asking, "Is there some issue on your end?" "Not exactly, but the game is about to be cleared," Nicole explained.

Though relieved, the seriousness on their faces didn't diminish.

Nicole's news was a reminder that time was running out.

Nicole, noticing their concerned expressions, asked softly, "Is there a problem?" "It looks like it," Preston replied, sharing a glance with Ryder and Gary, then sighed and turned to Nicole.

"Let's talk.

What's going on?" Everyone knew it was time to brainstorm solutions together, as the issue at hand couldn't be blamed on anyone.

Preston detailed the situation, explaining the success of their tracking program and the challenges they faced with their phishing program.

Chapter 2927

Nicole finally got why the project was dragging its feet.

She had requested a tracking program, something she thought would be easy for the team.

But it turned out they were up to more than she asked.

They were setting a trap with a phishing program, aiming to switch the real decryption program with a fake at the last second.

Their plan? To snag Water Crest's data without raising any alarms.

Nicole bit her lip, pondering abit before she said, "That's a good idea, but it's definitely risky." Even she wasn't entirely sure they could pull it off.

The program was complex.

"we can give it a try," Jared decided, after considering Nicole's words.

Nicole looked at him, "We can't be certain of winning." If they failed, they'd alert the enemy and create more trouble.

"But it's worth trying," Jared said calmly, confident in their abilities.

Gary was eager to get started, "Let's do it." Ryder also agreed, "I'm on board." Preston looked to Nicole, "I'll follow your lead." Everyone turned to Nicole, waiting for her decision.

Nicole took a deep breath and nodded, "Let's try it." Gary suggested bringing in another computer, but Nicole had already brought one, anticipating they might need it.

"Let's start then.

I'll send you the current program," Preston said, transferring the data to Nicole's laptop.

Ryder asked Jared if he wanted to wait or leave, to which Jared replied, "I'll wait for her," and sat down, indicating his support for Nicole.

Nicole, with Preston, Ryder, and Gary, quickly dived into the programming, their focus intense.

"This part here is where we're stuck.

It feels like the Trojan program is too easily detectable," they discussed.

Nicole listened, her eyes reflecting deep thought.

Their program was nearly perfect, except for their concerns.

If discovered, their effort would be wasted.

They needed a more comprehensive plan.

“Your concerns make sense," Nicole acknowledged.

"If the enemy is using Nolan, they'll be cautious.

And hackers always have strong firewalls.

Why don't we do the opposite?" "The opposite?" The others looked at her, intrigued by her proposal.

"Let's make the program easy to spot on purpose.

It could be just the break we need..." Nicole laid out her plan.

"That's genius!" Gary burst out, visibly thrilled.

"It's like turning a tough spot into an opportunity.

Brilliant thinking!" Preston chimed in, clearly impressed by Nicole's approach.

Chapter 2928

"Good idea, we should try it," Ryder said, impressed and in agreement with Nicole's proposal.

After deciding on their next steps, the team got busy implementing their plan.

"Done!" they exclaimed, as the clock neared noon.

With a collective cheer, they finally completed the program on Nicole's computer.

"It's perfect timing.

You can take the program with you, and our mission here is accomplished," Preston said with a sigh of relief.

He had been under a lot of pressure these past few days, worried about affecting Nicole's work.

“Thank you all," Nicole expressed her gratitude.

"Since it's lunchtime, let's eat together." “Sounds good, I'm starving after working all morning," Preston said, rubbing his stomach.

“Let's go then," Ryder and Gary agreed.

Nicole smiled, "I'm paying, as a thank you for your help." "No need for that," Gary laughed.

"We're friends, aren't we? It would be odd to be so formal." "Exactly, because you're friends, I want to treat you.

How else will I have the nerve to ask for your help in the future?" Nicole replied, still smiling.

Preston teased Gary, Don't argue with her, you never win against Nicole." “That's true," Gary shrugged.

"I've never won when it comes to Nicole." Their banter lightened the mood, and they all laughed together.

After leaving Finley Group, they found a nearby restaurant and settled into a private room.

As they ordered their meal, Nicole raised her glass of water, “Here's to all of you." “No need to thank us again, let's just celebrate our success," Gary suggested.

Nicole looked at him, shaking her head, "I need to thank not just you and Preston, but Ryder too." Ryder lifted his glass.

"You don't need to thank me.

You helped me in the past, so it's only right that I help you now." Nicole blinked in surprise, "I did?" "It was along time ago, so you probably don't remember," Ryder explained.

Nicole shook her head.

"It must have been something small, otherwise I would remember." Ryder smiled gently.

"Whether you remember or not doesn't matter.

I can't forget." Nicole, half-amused, said, “Well, you've helped me plenty of times now.

We're even, so I still need to thank you." Preston proposed, "Let's drink this water and call it even.

From now on, we're just friends." “Agreed, we're friends," Gary chimed in.

After the toast, Nicole urged, "Let's eat.

It's been a busy morning." “Nicole, you're amazing.

Your plan is really good," Gary praised her.

“And I've learned a lot from your methods," Preston added, nodding in admiration.

‘Even after five years, Nicole's skills have only improved,' they thought.

Nicole, trying to deflect the compliments, said with a smile, "Stop flattering me, you're making me blush."

 

Chapter 2929

"We always tell the truth," Gary said earnestly.

Nicole, smiling, complimented the group, "You've all improved a lot since five years ago." Their conversation flowed effortlessly, and before they knew it, lunch was over.

As Nicole and Jared prepared to leave, Gary said, "Let's catch up again soon.

I'm looking forward to your good news." Nicole nodded, understanding he was referring to the Water Crest program.

"Definitely," she replied.

After Nicole and Jared drove off, Preston also left, leaving Gary reflecting on how nice it was to work with Nicole again and how much things had changed for the better over the past five years.

Back in the car, Nicole touched her laptop bag and said to Jared, “It looks like we'll have results soon." Jared, holding her hand gently, agreed, "Yes, very soon." Nicole smiled at him, "After all this time, some things are finally coming to an end." "Have you thought about how you'll accept the outcome?" Jared asked softly.

Nicole nodded, "I've thought about it.

We always have to face things, sooner or later." ‘Perhaps it's better to uncover the truth early.

It might simplify a lot of things,’ she thought to herself.

Jared, sensing Nicole's resolve, comforted her with a gentle hug and a reassuring squeeze on her shoulder.

“Whatever happens, I can face it now," Nicole said calmly, having considered all possible outcomes.

Jared kissed her forehead, relieved she wasn't affected by the uncertainty.

When they arrived at Riddle Corporation, Nicole got out of the car and went inside the company.

Jared instructed Max to drive off, then received an update: Damien's lawyers seemed to have given up on his case.

"Given up?" Jared's eyes narrowed slightly, sensing something unusual.

"Yes, but something feels off,"" Max analyzed, suspecting that Scorpio wouldn't abandon their efforts so easily.

"Keep aclose eye on Damien," Jared instructed, suspecting Scorpio and Damien might have other plans.

As Jared's car moved away, his eyes reflected a glint of cold determination...

Three days passed quickly, and Damien's trial began.

He was to face the consequences of his actions.

Daniel asked Nicole and Jared at breakfast if they planned to attend the trial.

"No need, we'll just wait for the results," Nicole responded, not wanting to waste time on the hearing.

Daniel nodded, planning to visit Benjamin to console him, as Benjamin would surely be affected by the trial's outcome.

 

Chapter 2930

Nicole agreed, “That’s a good idea. But I’m a bit worried about Uncle Dillon and Karen; they might say something that would upset Grandpa.”

In truth, she wasn’t too concerned about Dillon, but Karen worried her.

“I understand. Don’t worry,” Daniel assured her.

If Dillon or Karen said something too harsh, it could be overwhelming for Benjamin.

After all, Damien was Benjamin’s son. Even if he was disappointed with Damien, seeing Damien in such a state would surely be distressing.

After breakfast, everyone departed from home.

On the road, Nicole gazed at the bustling streets, a hint of contemplation reflecting in her eyes.

Jared gently held her hand, speaking softly, ‘Everything will be alright.”

“Mm,” Nicole nodded. She wasn’t really worried, just suddenly feeling a bit overwhelmed.

The police car, taking Damien to court, was already leaving the police station, escorted by other police vehicles in the front and back.

Following their planned route, everything was going smoothly until they reached the area near an overpass.

After crossing the overpass and making a right turn, they could already spot the tall courthouse building.

The leading police car smoothly descended from the overpass and turned right.

Suddenly, a truck came speeding in and crashed directly into the police car carrying Damien.

There was a loud crash, a powerful impact, and the car came to an abrupt stop.

Shortly after, a van arrived, and three individuals dressed in black quickly forced open the doors of the police car, pulled Damien out, and swiftly hustled him into the van.

Once they got inside, the van immediately sped away from the scene.

The arriving police officers, realizing that something was wrong.

A confused officer asked, “What now?” He watched the van drive away, and the dazed police officers inside the hit vehicle staggered out.

“It’s fine, our job here is done. Let’s head back,” one of them said, suggesting that this unexpected incident was part of a preplanned operation.

Those who were clueless wondered, “What in the world is happening here?”

As the police cars gradually departed, additional personnel arrived at the scene to clear it up.

The van carrying Damien raced toward a deserted building on the outskirts.

The men in black discussed Damien’s condition, relieved he wasn’t seriously injured, just knocked out.

“Where to now?” the driver asked.

“Boss said to head to the abandoned building in the suburbs, ” one of them replied.

They drove off, unaware of a car following them. Reaching the deserted building, they carried Damien inside, scanning for any signs of trouble.

“Isn’t Boss here?” the driver asked, worried they might have run into unexpected trouble.

No, just wait,” another man replied, nudging the unconscious Damien.

Eventually, Damien came to, looking around in confusion at his unfamiliar surroundings.

One of the men informed Damien, “We’ve done as you asked. Better think about what you’ll say to Boss.”

Realizing what had happened, Damien felt a mix of frustration and fear. ‘ Are you guys insane? Do you even realize that I could have been killed?”

He cursed silently, ‘Even if these bastards had to intercept the police car, they could’ve handled it better! They almost got me killed!’
