Ch. 2966..2970: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2966-2970

Chapter 2966

Nicole, deep in thought, wondered, "Is there really no better way to help Patricia?" She was determined, though. "I won't give up. There has to be a way."

She was set on finding a solution for Patricia’s recovery.

Lulu, tilting her head, suggested, "Why not ask your mentor for help?"

Nicole sighed, "I've tried reaching him, but he might be in seclusion again." She had already informed her mentor about Patricia's situation but got no response.

Lulu, feeling sorry, said, "Why is Patricia so unlucky? Who can help her?"

It seemed they had to stick to the slower approach Nicole and Martin were taking, hoping for the best solution eventually.

Arriving at Riddle Corporation, Nicole and Lulu got out of the car.

Nicole noticed a car that had been following them. It stopped by the roadside. The driver and passengers didn't seem suspicious, so Nicole guessed Jared had sent them. This thought brought a small smile to her face.

"What are you looking at?" Lulu asked, seeing Nicole pause.

"It's nothing, let's go," Nicole replied, leading Lulu inside Riddle Corporation.

After a busy day, it was time to leave the office.

Lulu arrived at Nicole's office, "They should be here by now, let's go."

"Okay," Nicole said, and they left together.

"Nolan and Lana spent the day with Great-grandpa, and he was thrilled," Lulu shared happily.

Nicole nodded, "Dad said Grandpa didn't want them to leave. He invited us all for dinner."

"Yes, June and Samuel are on their way too," Lulu added." We should hurry."

Outside the company, Jared and Spencer were waiting for them.

They got into their cars and headed to the Riddle family manor.

When they arrived, Stanley and Tia had just gotten there too.

"Nicole," Tia called out, waving to Nicole.

The group entered the Riddle family manor one after the other.

As expected, Samuel and June had already arrived, but Steve and Sean were yet to come.

"Where are Sean and Steve?” Samuel inquired, noticing their absence.

Nicole shook her head, and then Gloria explained, "Steve went to accompany Sally to the hospital, and Sean had an engagement, so neither of them could come."

Everyone understood and didn't press further.

They greeted Benjamin as they gathered around the couch.

"Please, take a seat," Benjamin said, looking quite well.

Nolan and Lana sat in front of Benjamin. Benjamin looked happy and healthy.

"We haven't arrived too late, have we?" Dexter and Emma entered with a smile.

"No, not at all," Gloria responded warmly.

As it got late and everyone had sat down, they noticed Ellar hadn't arrived yet. "Where's Ellar?" someone asked.

"Who knows," Emma said, slightly annoyed. "He just said he was busy and might come if he had time, and if not, he wouldn't. I don't even know what he's up to."

Even Emma seemed unable to ascertain Ellar's whereabouts.

Chapter 2967

"Mom, really, there's no need to trouble everyone. I'll be home soon. Let's not talk about it anymore." Ellar ended the call, feeling he couldn't hold on much longer if they kept talking.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, leaning back in his seat and gazing at Patricia's window.

For him, these moments weren't about pain; they were filled with a bittersweet feeling.

At the Riddle family manor, the atmosphere was warm and lively. The family was together, enjoying each other’s company.

After the call, Emma informed Benjamin, "Dad, Ellar's still tied up with work. He really can't come tonight."

Benjamin wasn't upset. In fact, he was quite pleased with Ellar's commitment. "It's good that he's dedicated to his career."

Dillon suggested to Benjamin, "Dad, it's getting late. We should all head home, and you need to rest."

Daniel and Dexter agreed, "Yes, Dad, we'll leave now and come back another day."

Nolan and Lana, sweetly saying goodbye to Benjamin, added, "We're going now, great- grandpa."

Benjamin, smiling broadly, hugged them and replied, Make sure to visit me again during the holidays."

"Okay," Nolan and Lana nodded obediently.

After bidding farewell to Benjamin, everyone slowly left the Riddle family manor.

The living room quieted down as Dillon and Karen said to Benjamin, "Dad, everyone's gone home. You should rest too."

"Okay," Benjamin agreed. He was quite tired, especially after playing with Nolan and Lana.

After helping Benjamin upstairs, Dillon and Karen went to their room.

Meanwhile, Nolan and Lana quickly fell asleep in the car on the way home.

Nicole smiled, watching them. "They had so much fun today they skipped their nap."

They had fallen asleep right after leaving Benjamin's mansion.

Jared looked at them, his eyes soft with a smile, relieved that the day's events hadn't upset the kids.

He had been worried they might be traumatized, but they seemed fine and quickly moved on.

Nicole, speaking softly, added, "Even though life on Crescent Island was peaceful, we weren't completely isolated from Lawrence's affairs, so..."

They might not have been directly involved in Lawrence's matters, but they were aware of his influence and understood some things.

Nolan and Lana, young as they were, weren't completely unaware. They could accept and understand things more easily.

Jared covered Nolan with his coat and picked up Lana, then told Max, "Turn off the air conditioning."

"Yes," Max replied.

Nicole watched the children sleeping peacefully, a small smile on her lips.

When they got back to the Riddle residence, Jared and Nicole carried Nolan and Lana to their rooms before going to their own room.

After a bath, they went to sleep.

Jared held Nicole close, his breath mingling with the fragrance of her hair.

He kissed her forehead, then held her a bit tighter.

The next morning, they were awakened by the crisp sound of birds chirping.

Nicole slowly opened her eyes to meet Jared’s gaze.

Jared gently played with her hair, whispering, "You're awake."

Chapter 2968

Nicole, her eyes twinkling with a smile, softly replied, "Mm."

Her voice was lazy and tender, especially alluring just after waking up.

Jared's gaze deepened. He leaned down and pecked Nicole's lips, then, feeling unsatisfied, kissed her again, more passionately.

Their embrace was so intense it nearly made them lose their senses, raising the temperature of the bedroom, creating a romantic atmosphere...

When Nicole and Jared finally got out of bed, it was already breakfast time.

Downstairs, Nolan and Lana tilted their heads in confusion," Dad, Mommy, were you too tired yesterday? Why are you up so late today?"

Nicole, a bit embarrassed, quickly changed the subject, "Are you two going to school today?"

"Can we?" Nolan and Lana asked excitedly.

Staying home was a bit boring, and they preferred the fun of kindergarten with their friends.

"If you want to go, then let's go," Nicole said with a smile.

"Yeah, we want to," Nolan and Lana nodded vigorously.

"After breakfast, we'll take you to kindergarten," Nicole promised.

"Okay!" Nolan and Lana replied cheerfully.

After breakfast, with their schoolbags on, Nolan and Lana left with Nicole and Jared.

After dropping them off at kindergarten, Jared drove Nicole to Riddle Corporation.

As they arrived, Lulu also reached there, waving at Nicole," Nicole."

Once Lulu caught up, Nicole and Lulu entered the company together.

"Mr. Johnston, Pisces said there's some movement from Scorpio's side," Max reported to Nicole as she entered the building.

Jared's expression darkened slightly. "Have Scorpio's men arrived?"

"Yes, they've entered the country and are in a location arranged by Pisces," Max replied.

Pisces' role made it easier to hide them, something Scorpio couldn't do alone.

"For now, let's not make any moves," Jared said gravely.

Acting now could make Scorpio suspect Pisces, since he had arranged the location. Any trouble would put Pisces in the spotlight.

Max understood Jared's plan. "We'll keep an eye on them, but we won't engage."

As long as they were under surveillance, they couldn't make major moves, so there was no need to rush.

"These people are here for a reason. Scorpio must have a plan. Find out what it is," Jared paused before adding, "And watch Lawrence closely."

Scorpio, despite his plans, was unlikely to act hastily.

However, Lawrence needed to show cooperation with Scorpio.

"Yes," Max responded carefully.

Both Scorpio and Lawrence were threats, potentially targeting Nicole or the two badges she held. They weren't likely to back down easily.

Meanwhile, in Lawrence's office...

Mr. Royce, Scorpio's people have arrived," Ian reported quietly.

Lawrence looked up, his eyes darkening, "They're quick."

Ian hesitated before asking, "Scorpio's last plan failed. What now?"

Lawrence's hand tightened, a cold light in his eyes.

He was working with Scorpio but wouldn't allow harm to Nolan and Lana.

He needed the Fire Crest and Water Crest and might pressure Nicole, but Nolan and Lana were off- limits.

They were young and could easily be hurt, scared, or even have their futures impacted.

 

Chapter 2969

'Mr. Royce?" Ian called out, noticing Lawrence lost in thought.

Snapping back to reality, Lawrence said, "Scorpio will give me instructions."

Ian, concerned, asked, "So, Scorpio will force your hand?"

Lawrence scoffed, "Even with new people, Scorpio's weakened after his last failure. He's testing my commitment.

Ian, deep in thought, inquired, "What's your plan?"

'Til follow his lead, for now," Lawrence replied, knowing appearances mattered.

’But if he targets..." Ian began.

Lawrence cut him off, "I'll comply only if Nolan and Lana aren't involved."

He'd protect Nicole if it came to that, seeking both the Crests and her safety.

Ian, understanding Lawrence's position, assured him, "I'll inform you immediately if Scorpio contacts me."

Lawrence just hummed in response, picking up a document from his desk. Ian left to handle Lawrence's assigned tasks.

That afternoon, under the bright sun, Nicole and Lulu strolled back to Riddle Corporation after their lunch. The restaurant was conveniently close, allowing them to walk and chat.

"Think the method you talked about will work?" Lulu asked, her voice tinged with both hope and worry.

Nicole shook her head thoughtfully, "It's worth a shot."

As they talked, Nicole called Martin.

Martin picked up. "What's up?"

Nicole started to share her latest idea for a solution.

Martin hesitated before responding, "I've noted it down and will try it later."

"It's just an idea I thought of after checking some information. It might not be feasible, so don't feel too pressured," Nicole reminded Martin.

"Okay," Martin replied.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now," Nicole said, hanging up the phone and taking a deep breath. "I really hope it works."

Lulu smiled and said, "I wish your mentor could come out of seclusion soon. It would ease your burden."

Nicole had been using all her free time to ponder Patricia's treatment plan. If her mentor came out of seclusion, he might be able to help, and Nicole wouldn't have to work so hard.

"I hope so too, but..." Nicole sighed.

She couldn't be sure when her mentor would come out of seclusion. At this time, no one could contact him.

Lulu, linking arms with Nicole, said, "I'm just worried about you. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"I'm okay," Nicole smiled. "I can handle these things."

Lulu shrugged. Nicole made it sound easy, but the challenges she faced weren't something everyone could handle with such composure and bravery.

Back at the company, Nicole and Lulu returned to their offices and got busy.

Nicole opened a document and frowned upon seeing its contents.

'This is a BayCorp document. Why was it sent to me?'

Pressing the intercom button, Nicole said, "Come in."

Her secretary quickly entered, "Ms. Riddle."

"What's this about?" Nicole asked, referring to the document.

"It's an urgent document from BayCorp. They said it's important and requires your personal attention," the secretary replied.

 

Chapter 2970

"Got it," Nicole said, her eyes lingering on the document.

It was indeed important, but it was something Ellar could handle. She wondered, ’Is there some issue at BayCorp that Ellar hasn't mentioned to me?'

Recalling Ellar's absence at dinner the previous night, where he claimed to have social commitments, Nicole speculated if he might be facing some problems.

After a moment, Nicole called Lulu over.

"Lulu, can you check on Ellar? See if he's run into any trouble. " Nicole briefed her on the document and asked her to look into it.

’Alright, I'm on it," Lulu said, accepting the signed document and heading to BayCorp.

Nicole then dove back into her work. Time flew, and soon it was time to leave.

She checked the clock, tidied her desk, and left.

Lulu hadn't returned, which worried Nicole a bit. It seemed there might indeed be a problem. But without any word from Lulu, Nicole guessed it wasn't too serious.

Deciding to pick up Nolan and Lana first, she thought of Jared. They had agreed to take turns accompanying the kids, especially after recent events. Even if Nolan and Lana appeared okay, they needed extra care.

Seeing Jared already waiting, Nicole quickly made her way to the car.

As the car headed toward the kindergarten, Jared noticed Nicole's preoccupied look.

"Tired?" he asked gently.

Shaking her head, Nicole replied, "Not really. It's just Ellar; he might be in trouble. I've asked Lulu to check on him."

Jared understood and didn't probe further.

When they arrived at the kindergarten, came out beaming, rushing into Nicole's arms.

"Mommy."

The kids' homeroom teacher approached, reassuring her," Mrs. Johnston, the children are safe here. The security Mr. Johnston arranged is all in place."

Nicole smiled. "Thank you, I appreciate it."

She knew the teacher must have been concerned about the recent incident but was still trying to reassure them.

Once Nicole and the kids were in the car, Lana tugged at Jared's sleeve. "Daddy, can we have hamburgers and ice cream?"

Jared glanced at Nolan, who eagerly nodded in agreement." Sure, let's go get some."

"Yay!” Lana cheered, and Nolan laughed along.

The family visited a burger restaurant, enjoying a simple meal together.

But Nicole occasionally scanned their surroundings as she sensed something amiss.

Jared, noticing her unease, whispered, "He's here."

Nicole's frown deepened as she realized it wasn't just her imagination. She had caught glimpses of a figure, indeed Lawrence.

Holding Nicole's hand, Jared reassured her, "Don't worry, he's unlikely to make a move."

Nicole raised an eyebrow, seeking confirmation.

Jared explained, "Lawrence is alone. If he had planned anything, he wouldn't be here by himself." Jared had secretly arranged additional protection. If anything happened, Nicole and the kids would be safe.
