Ch. 2951..2955: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2951-2955

Chapter 2951

"Considering what you asked for, these are the folks I managed to find.You seemed in a rush.If not, I might've found more," Pisces explained, looking a bit helpless.

"Alright," Scorpio hesitated, then added, "Leave the room.They'll stay." "Sure thing," Pisces responded.

"If you need anything, just let me know." Once Pisces left, Scorpio checked out the people Pisces brought in.

"Were all of you previously bodyguards?" "Yes," they answered together.

"And before that?" Scorpio inquired.

"Some worked as mercenaries," came the reply.

Scorpio looked satisfied.

Though fewer than he expected, their skills seemed sufficient for the task.

"I've got a job for you.

Get it done, and this is what you'll get, " Scorpio said, nodding toward a briefcase on the coffee table.

"We're in," they agreed, then inquired, "What's the job?" "I need you to...

handle someone for me," Scorpio replied cryptically.

Silence settled in the room after Scorpio spoke.

"What, you nervous?" Scorpio frowned.

"We'll take half the payment upfront.

Once the job's done, we'll collect the rest.

If we mess up, we won't get you involved," one of them proposed.

Scorpio raised an eyebrow, then after a moment of silence, agreed, "Fine." Without further discussion, they took half the money from the briefcase and departed.

Scorpio's expression darkened slightly, and he let out a disdainful snort.

'It seems they're my only choice now that I've lost my men and can't get reinforcements into this country,' he thought.' If only Lawrence would use his secret forces, I wouldn't be in this fix.

Let's wait and see how they do.

If they succeed, money won’t be an issue.

But then again, Lawrence is cunning.

I should not let my guard down." The following morning, the sun rose, casting its bright rays across the sky.

Nicole arrived at the Riddle Corporation at her usual time.

Lulu came over, holding a stack of files.

"I was just heading to your office." Looking at the stack of files, Nicole sighed, "So many again?" "Yeah, it's all because of you.

You're not just the Master of the Fire Crest anymore; now, you're also the master of the Water Crest.

Those big-shot families want to work with us because of you," Lulu explained, shrugging.

Nicole couldn't help but give Lulu a look.

"Are you being sarcastic?" "Hehe, no, not at all," Lulu chuckled and followed Nicole into her office.

Once the files were set down, Lulu turned serious.

"But on a serious note, our workload is increasing.

Shouldn't we think about hiring more staff for this department?" "I'll consider it," Nicole responded.

The workload had significantly increased, but she hesitated to bring in new people now.

She needed to observe the situation a bit longer.

"You shouldn't handle everything alone.

You can share the load with us," Steve's voice echoed as he and Sean entered the office one after the other.

"Hey, guys," Nicole greeted them with a smile.

Approaching Nicole's desk, Sean spoke seriously, "I get your concerns.

If you're worried, we can hold off on the hiring plan for now.

I'll send over two people from my department." "I'll do the same.

I'll instruct the secretary department when I get back to my office," Steve added.

"Thank you, guys.I really appreciate it," Nicole expressed her gratitude.

Steve shook his head, teasingly scolding, "Cut the formalities.We're practically family."

Chapter 2952

"Lulu, when those helpers arrive, can you please get everything organized?" Nicole instructed Lulu.

"Sure thing," Lulu agreed, "I'll start preparing right away." Lulu wanted to get things sorted in advance to avoid any last -minute rush when the others arrived.

It would save effort once they showed up.

"Nicole, we understand things have been hectic lately.If you're feeling overwhelmed, take some time off," Sean suggested, concern evident in his eyes as he advised Nicole.

Nicole smiled, "I'm good, no need to fret." Despite the increased workload, she didn't feel overwhelmed.

Plus, Sean and Steve had their own tasks to manage.

Besides, Steve had to look after Sally, so Nicole decided not to take a break.

Frowning slightly, Steve asked, "You beat Lawrence and acquired the Water Crest, but he hasn't reacted in any way?" He found it odd for Lawrence to stay silent.

"No matter what his next move is, I'll handle it," Nicole's expression turned serious.

She looked at Sean and Steve with a slightly intense gaze.

"You guys and your wives need to be careful now." The office fell silent for a moment before Steve responded," Got it." "Just stay cautious," Nicole sighed.

She couldn't shake the feeling that Lawrence might have his sights set on her.

Yet, she couldn't dismiss the possibility that he might resort to threatening her family if he found himself cornered.

Therefore, she needed to carefully consider all possibilities and take precautions in advance to safeguard her family's safety.

"We'll be vigilant," Sean responded with a serious tone.

They understood Nicole's concern for their safety and were equally determined not to put her at risk because of them.

Nicole felt touched by their consideration.

This was the essence of family love.

After addressing some work issues, Sean and Steve departed.

Nicole reclined in her chair, observing the files on her desk with a narrowed gaze.

While she could manage the recent workload, Lawrence's lack of action made her suspicious.

Additionally, she had to watch out for Scorpio.

*** In the afternoon, Nicole and Lulu were deep in work discussions after having lunch.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and Nicole glanced at the screen displaying 'Tia.' She felt puzzled.

'Why is Tia calling me now?' "Nicole, the kids are missing!" Tia's voice was full of concern.

Nicole sprang up swiftly.

"What's happened?" "A while ago, their teacher called, asking if I'd brought the kids home, but I hadn't.

I don't know what's going on exactly.

What do we do?" Tia was close to tears, feeling really worried.

Nicole was the first person Tia thought to call.

"Got it.I'll come over immediately," Nicole assured Tia before ending the call.

As Nicole prepared to leave, Lulu hurried over.

"What's happening?" Noticing Nicole's deep concern, Lulu realized this was serious.

"Tia mentioned Nolan and Lana are missing.I'm going to see what's happening," Nicole explained while walking, and Lulu walked alongside her.

As they rode the elevator, Lulu's face lost its color.

"How did this happen? Could it be...?" She halted abruptly, leaving her sentence unfinished, and stole a glance at Nicole.

She refrained from voicing or even entertaining the remaining thoughts.

Nicole's heart tightened.

This was her worst fear.

'Could Lawrence have taken the kids?' "Let's find out," Nicole said, trying to keep herself collected.

Even amidst her tangled thoughts, she recognized the significance of maintaining a calm facade.

 

Chapter 2953

Soon, they reached the kindergarten.

"Nicole, what should we do?" Tia's eyes were brimming with tears, her worry evident.

Nicole gritted her teeth and suggested, "Let's talk to their homeroom teacher now."

"Okay, let's figure this out," Lulu agreed, heading off to find the teacher.

They found the teacher, her face etched with worry.

"What happened?" Lulu asked, puzzled at how the kids could just vanish from the kindergarten.

"They came in disguised as delivery people.When they saw Nolan and Lana, they tried to take them.Some people tried to stop them, and there was a clash.

"They all left the school, and when we returned, the kids were gone.We've been looking ever since," the homeroom teacher explained, her voice laced with panic.

"Could this be a trap?" Lulu wondered aloud to Nicole.

Lulu suspected that the men who intervened were the ones Jared had sent to protect Nolan and Lana.

They probably didn't want to cause a scene at the school, so they handled it quietly.

"Were the kidnappers trying to draw Jared's men away, then have someone else snatch the kids?" she pondered aloud.

Nicole shook her head, "I doubt it." She thought it was unlikely.

Some of Jared's men were still around the school.

They would have noticed any new intruders.

"If not them, then who? A third party?" Lulu's face grew paler, the thought of another group involved making the situation even more complicated.

Nicole, taking a deep breath, asked the teacher, "Has anything else happened here since then?"

"No, we've been searching non-stop since we noticed the kids were missing." Unfortunately, there was no sign of them.

The homeroom teacher was already anxious that time.

She had hoped the kids, scared, might have called home for someone to pick them up.

She had even called Tia, but Tia's response only increased her worry.

Nicole thought, 'The school staff have been looking for so long.

If they're not at school or home, where could they be?' She was puzzled.

If the children hadn't been taken, they wouldn't leave the school on their own.

But their whereabouts remained a mystery.

"Let's keep searching," Lulu said, her anxiety clear.

'TH join in too," Tia added.

They were determined to find the children, no matter what.

They couldn't let anything happen to them.

While the teacher went to get more staff to continue the search, Nicole stayed put.

Her face grew somber, an air of coldness setting in.

'If their teacher's right, they should still be here in the kindergarten.

But where?' Nicole wondered.

As the search began in every room, Nicole's eyes swept over every inch of the kindergarten.

Suddenly, she stared intently toward the storage room.

"Has anyone checked there?" Nicole inquired, gesturing toward the storage room.

One of the staff replied, "The door's locked.They couldn't have gotten inside."

"So, no one's actually searched there?" Nicole asked, her brow furrowing.

The staff hesitated, then admitted, "Someone tried, but with the door locked and no response to their calls, no one went back." The search had been focused on places the children were likely to visit.

Additionally, given the unfolding events and the length of the search, it was starting to seem possible that someone might have taken the Nolan and Lana.

That was why the school had reached out to the guardians, hoping to find the kids quickly.

 

Chapter 2954

After hearing the teacher’s words, Nicole headed straight toward the storage room.

The door was securely locked, requiring a password to open. It was an electronic lock, not just any ordinary one.

Nicole touched the doorknob, pausing for a moment. She then activated a special feature on her watch. The watch connected via infrared and a virtual keypad appeared.

With a few quick taps, she unlocked the electronic lock, and it clicked open.

The staff who had followed Nicole were shocked to see her open the locked door so easily. They stood there, amazed and confused.

‘How did she open a locked door? Could it have been unlocked all along?’ they thought.

But Nicole didn’t pay attention to their reactions. She entered the storage room and immediately began searching for Nolan and Lana.

She had noticed while unlocking the door that someone else had previously used the same method. In this place, she knew only Nolan could have done that.

“Nolan, Lana?” Nicole called out gently, her eyes scanning the cluttered space.

As she called their names and searched, she hoped to find Nolan and Lana hidden among the various items stored there.

“Mommy?” came a soft, slightly confused voice in response.

Nicole turned and saw two small heads peeking out from beneath a mascot costume.

Lana seemed as if she had just woken up, but Nolan’s face relaxed upon seeing Nicole.

Feeling a rush of emotion, Nicole walked over, gently pulled Nolan and Lana out, and hugged them close. “It’s okay now, don’t be scared,” she whispered softly.

“Mommy, I wasn’t scared. Nolan was with me,” Lana stated, a hint of pride in her voice.

Nicole’s eyes filled with relief. She affectionately ruffled Nolan’s hair. “Nolan, you were so brave.”

“I was brave too,” Lana interjected, tilting her head up expectantly.

“Yes, Lana, you were very brave too,” Nicole responded, holding both their hands as they exited the storage room.

As they walked, Nicole inquired, “What happened? How did you end up hiding here without anyone finding you?”

Realizing Nicole must have been informed about the incident, Nolan explained, “After we were rescued, we took the chance to hide.”

“Nolan said we should stay here and not make a sound unless it was Mommy calling us,” Lana added.

Nolan nodded. “We waited a long time, then Lana fell asleep. IV He had remained vigilant, listening for any noise outside until he heard Nicole’s voice.

Nicole, now understanding the situation, asked softly, “You must have heard the teachers calling you, right?”

Lana might not have heard while asleep, but Nolan had been awake the whole time.

“Yes,” Nolan whispered, “but at that time, I didn’t trust anyone.”

Hearing this, Nicole bit her lip in silence, gently patting Nolan’s shoulder. She understood how terrifying this experience must have been forthem, and how impressively calm they had managed to remain.

Taking a deep breath, Nicole reassured them, “It’s all right now. Let’s go, Mommy will take you home.” As they were leaving, Lulu and Tia, having just learned that Nicole had found Nolan and Lana, rushed over. They examined the children, exclaiming with concern, “Are you okay? You scared us to death!”

Chapter 2955

“We’re okay,” Nolan and Lana assured everyone.

The school staff, visibly relieved to see the children unharmed, showed their concern, asking if the kids were injured or frightened.

“The children are fine. They hid and fell asleep, so they didn’t hear when they were called,” Nicole explained.

“It’s good that the kids are found,” the staff said together, clearly relieved that the children weren’t in danger.

“I’ll take them home now. They will rest for a couple of days before coming back to school,” Nicole decided, intending to give Nolan and Lana some time off.

“Alright,” the homeroom teacher agreed, accompanying Nicole and the children to the kindergarten’s exit.

“Let the kids rest well. We’re sorry this happened. We’ll strengthen our security measures,” the homeroom teacher sincerely apologized to Nicole.

Nicole, feeling a bit responsible herself, replied, “We should be the ones apologizing.”

She knew it wasn’t the kindergarten’s fault and was just thankful that no other children or teachers were troubled.

After getting into the car and driving away, a heavy silence enveloped the vehicle.

“Nicole, what exactly happened?” Tia asked, her eyes filled with concern.

‘Today’s events are truly frightening. What if something had happened to Nolan and Lana?’ Nicole glanced at Nolan and Lana, then deflected the question, “Let’s just get home first.” Realizing it wasn’t appropriate to discuss the incident with Nolan and Lana present, Tia softly agreed, “Okay.”

When they arrived at the Riddle residence, Gloria, surprised to see them home early, asked, “Why are you back so soon?”

“There wasn’t much to do today, so we came back early and picked up Nolan and Lana as well,” Nicole said, making up an excuse.

She didn’t want everyone to worry about what had happened at the kindergarten, so she chose to keep it a secret.

Gloria, looking at Lulu and Tia, was a bit puzzled, “How did you all end up together?”

She understood why Nicole might come back early, and Lulu could be with Nicole. ‘But why is Tia here? Shouldn’t she have been in the backyard?’ “Oh, I went out to buy some things and just happened to meet Nicole at the door,” Tia followed Nicole’s lead, playing along.

“I see,” Gloria nodded, still a bit curious about the unusual gathering.

“Gloria, is Daniel not home?” Lulu casually changed the subject.

“He’s at Benjamin’s house,” Gloria replied. “He’s been visiting his father whenever he has time.”

“I see. He should do so often,” Lulu conversed with Gloria, giving Nicole a knowing look.

Nicole caught Lulu’s glance and led Nolan and Lana upstairs.

After the children had bathed and changed into their pajamas, Nicole tucked them into bed.

“Mommy, I’m fine now. You can take Lana back to her room, ” Nolan said, pulling up his little blanket and speaking with a maturity beyond his years.

Nicole gently ruffled his hair. “You both should sleep together tonight. I’ll stay until you’re asleep, then I’ll carry Lana back to her room,” she assured him.

At this moment, she felt uneasy about leaving Nolan alone. Though he appeared alright, the events of the day could still be troubling for a young child.

“Okay,” Nolan agreed, obediently closing his eyes.

“Mommy,” Lana didn’t lie down but instead cuddled into Nicole’s arms.

Nicole held Lana close, gently stroking her hair. “Don’t worry, Mommy’s here with both of you. Go to sleep,” she whispered comfortingly.

Nolan, who hadn’t slept during the usual nap time due to the day’s events, and Lana, though she had slept, were both visibly shaken and exhausted.
