Ch. 3036..3040: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 3036-3040

Chapter 3036

"Leave it," Nicole told the secretary, her eyes fixed on the door. 'Wasn't that Patricia just now? So she

must have heard what Ellar said.'

Once the secretary left, Nicole turned to Ellar and asked, "Are you really giving up? Don't you want to

give it another shot?"

Ellar shook his head. "It's not that I don't want to fight, but I can't. If this is Patricia's decision, I don't

want to complicate things for her. I just want her to be happy."

Nicole sighed, saying, “Forget it. Sort it out yourself." She figured if Patricia didn't explain, there wasn't

much to say. She'd let Ellar figure things out on his own.

"What do you mean?" Ellar asked, a bit puzzled.

Nicole didn't elaborate. She simply looked at Ellar and said, "You should go back to BayCorp." "Okay."

Ellar checked the time and agreed, "Sure, I won't keep you from your work." "If you're really set on this

decision, change your current life. If you're unsure, then figure it out yourself,’ Nicole advised before

letting him go.

Outside Riddle Corporation, Ell ar sat in the car but didn’t tell the chauffeur to move. Leaning back, he

stared at the gate, deep in thought.

He sensed there might be more to Nicole's words, but after careful thought, it seemed like there wasn't

anything extraordinary. Unable to unravel it, Ellar sighed and muttered to himself, "Let's go."

The car started, and El la r drove off, unaware of a slender figure appearing in the lobby.

Patricia watched him leave, a mix of bitterness and heaviness in her heart. She had heard what he said

to Nicole and initially thought to encourage him to give up. However, witnessing his desolate departure,

she couldn't find the words.

Touching her own cheek, Patricia bit her lip, then turned and walked toward the elevator.

Upstairs, Patricia entered Nicole's office and updated her, "Ms. Riddle, the project is on track now.

We're just waiting for the raw materials to arrive. Once that happens, everything should be sorted."

Nicole nodded. "Okay, keep an eye on it."

Observing Patricia sticking to work, Nicole refrained from asking about personal matters. She felt it was

best left unsaid for now.

However, Nicole couldn't help but notice that Patricia seemed to be dealing with her own struggles,

possibly linked to Ellar.

Nicole advised, "Considering the situation, they might be watchful, so be cautious." "I get it," Patricia

cautiously responded. She understood Nicole's implication; if Everett decided to cause trouble, they

wouldn't let it slide easily.

"Alright, carry on with your work," Nicole nodded.

"Sure." Patricia acknowledged and exited the office.

Returning her attention to the files, Nicole shook her head lightly, immersing herself in work once more.

At lunchtime, Lulu came to find Nicole.

"Patricia still not joining US today?" Nicole asked.

"Nah, she's already out. Said she's got something to deal with," Lulu answered.

Nicole stood up. "Alright, let's go."

She thought Patricia might be handling things for the shipment; the dock needed someone overseeing

it. Together, Lulu and Nicole left the office and headed to the restaurant across the street.

Chapter 3037

Having ordered, Lulu and Nicole settled at their table, anticipating their meals.

"Is Ellar okay now?" Lulu asked, finally getting the chance to check in after a busy morning.

"He should be fine," Nicole assured.

Lulu looked a bit surprised. "Should be?'

Nicole shrugged. "Well, whether there's an issue or not, it's up to him." "So it's not sorted out yet," Lulu

sighed, understanding the situation.

Nicole smiled, reassuring Lulu, "Don't worry. When the time comes, things will fall into place." "Okay,"

Lulu nodded, acknowledging there wasn't much else they could do. She sensed that Ellar and Patricia

had been through a lot, yet she wondered when they would fully embrace each other's feelings.

Changing the subject, Lulu added, "Oh, by the way, Patricia mentioned this morning that the shipment

has been sent out. It should arrive in a few days.

"Yeah, that's probably why she left the office," Nicole nodded.

"Oh, got it," Lulu said, understanding. Patricia seemed pretty focused when she left earlier.

As they talked, their lunch arrived, and they carried on chatting while eating.

"Do you think we can handle things smoothly this time?" Lulu asked Nicole.

"I can only say we'll give it our best shot," Nicole sighed. Dealing with Everett was proving more

complicated than before.

"I'm worried Everett might keep causing trouble," Lulu frowned, uncertain of what mischief Everett had

in mind.

"He'll sabotage US again for sure. But what worries me more is that there might be something more

behind these actions," Nicole mused. Everett's return and his focus on these minor disruptions seemed

oddly suspicious.

"Are you suggesting he's trying to divert our attention?" Lulu quickly caught onto Nicole's point.

Nicole nodded, narrowing her eyes slightly. "It's possible."

Despite having ample time to deal with the situation, Nicole doubted that Everett had the luxury of time.

If the Eastern Falcon sent him back to San Joto, it couldn't be merely to establish a company and grow

it slowly.

There had to be a more immediate agenda.

Lulu, puzzled, furrowed her brow and murmured, "Then what does he want to do?" "He won't be up to

any good," Patricia's voice came from nearby. Lulu looked up at her.

"Have you had lunch?" Lulu asked Patricia.

"Not yet. I knew you and Ms. Riddle were here, so I came over," Patricia replied.

"Waiter, please take our orders,” Lulu called a waiter and ordered a meal for Patricia.

Once seated, Patricia updated Nicole, "Ms. Riddle, the preparations at the port are all set. We're just

waiting for the first batch of raw materials to arrive in three days." "Good," Nicole said, pleased with

Patricia’s efficiency.

"Your speed is impressive. Once the first batch arrives, the others should follow smoothly. No need to

stress about the project anymore," Lulu added, sharing positive vibes.

Patricia replied seriously, "I'll keep a close watch in the coming days. We can't afford any problems with

these batches; it would mess up the project timeline." "Okay, you've put in good work this morning.

Let's grab a bite," Lulu suggested as lunch arrived.

After the meal, they left the restaurant and made their way back to the office. On the way, Nicole and

Patricia exchanged a glance, both sensing someone watching them.

Chapter 3038

"Ms. Riddle, you should head back. I'll handle this," Patricia whispered.

"Be careful," Nicole cautioned, then entered Riddle Corporation building with Lulu.

Patricia went to the lobby but avoided heading upstairs like Nicole and Lulu. Instead, she strolled

toward the emergency exit and left through the side door, circling around to approach the main gate.

Now, Patricia had a clear view; indeed, someone had been following them, or more precisely,

monitoring Nicole. Patricia's eyes narrowed slightly as she discreetly concealed herself, waiting for

these two individuals to leave before following suit.

When Patricia returned, it was close to the end of the workday.

"How was it?" Nicole asked Patricia.

"They're Everett's men. They probably haven't found out our actions, so they sent someone to keep

tabs on US," Patricia said with a cold expression.

"So, does that mean our raw materials can arrive smoothly?" Lulu speculated, thinking that if Everett

hadn't discovered their movements and plans, there would be no one to obstruct or cause trouble.

"For now, there's no problem," Patricia replied. "And I've sent those two to the police, so they won't be

causing any trouble for a while." "Awesome! No wonder it took you so long!" Lulu praised Patricia in

admiration.

Shrugging, Patricia said, "Well, Everett chose some unreliable people. It was easy to find someone to

take care of them after a little investigation." "Ah, it seems we can relax and go home now," Lulu sighed

in relief.

Nicole also got up. "Let's go."

Outside Riddle Corporation, Nicole saw Jared's car and waved to Lulu and Patricia. "Heading off," she

said.

"See you tomorrow," Lulu waved back while looking for Spencer's car.

"I'll leave as well," Patricia said, heading off.

Lulu looked around, finally spotting Spencer's car. She smiled, waved, and walked towards him.

Meanwhile, Jared and Nicole's car had already gone quite far.

Leaning back in her seat, Nicole saw Jared's troubled expression. She reached up and smoothed the

furrow between his eyebrows. "Don't be so down. We can sort this out."

Jared looked at her, holding her hand. "This is just the start." "Yeah, but it's okay," Nicole shrugged. "I

kind of hope he gets bolder. It'll give me some leverage now."

Whether Everett admitted his identity or insisted on being Lexter Wright, he would still be held

accountable for his past actions.

Jared held her gently, speaking with deep meaning, "He won't stay quiet, but he'll be even more

cunning than before."

Nicole agreed, her eyes narrowing in thought, 'No matter how sly he might be, he will get caught.'

Squeezing her shoulder in reassurance, Jared spoke earnestly, "If anything comes up, make sure to

reach out to me."

Nicole smiled, lifting her gaze to meet Jared's. "No need to stress. I've got Patricia, and even if I'm not

as agile as before, I'm not a pushover either."

Jared playfully pinched her nose. "You're the most formidable." "Of course," Nicole replied with a proud

and playful expression.

A soft smile appeared on Jared's face, and the atmosphere between them relaxed.

At home, Daniel and Gloria were both there.

"Are Nolan and Lana still out?" Nicole asked, noticing the kids' absence.

Chapter 3039

"Stanley took them to the backyard," Gloria chuckled. "Said they wanted to check on Mrs. Wallace Sr.

and Tia." "But Tia just brought them back from school, didn't she?" Nicole found it amusing.

"That's right. Tia brought them back, but they seem eager to play in the backyard," Gloria explained

with a laugh.

"Let them be then," Nicole thought they could play for a while before returning.

"It's just us for dinner today. Let's not wait any longer; let's start," Daniel suggested.

The group gathered in the dining room.

"Nicole, did Ellar come to see you?" Gloria inquired.

"He did. Please assure Emma that Ellar is fine," Nicole responded.

After a moment of hesitation, Gloria gently asked, "Is there something difficult to talk about regarding

Ellar? Why is nobody discussing it now? Does the silence mean it's serious?" "Mom, don't worry. He's

okay," Nicole reassured Gloria with a smile.

"Really?" Gloria remained somewhat skeptical.

Nicole placed a serving of food in front of Gloria and said, "Just concentrate on eating. After the meal,

give Emma a call. You'll find out." "Nicole is right. Let's eat first," Daniel added.

Observing Nicole's calm demeanor, Gloria felt somewhat reassured, thinking perhaps they were

overthinking things.

"Dad, how's Grandpa been lately?" Now that Gloria was more at ease, Nicole changed the topic.

"I visit him with your uncle every day. He's fine, so don't worry," Daniel assured her.

"That's good," Nicole said, and they continued discussing company matters and Everett.

Before they realized it, dinner was over.

"Mommy, Daddy," Nolan and Lana returned, running over to Nicole and Jared.

Nicole patted their heads and asked, ' Did you have fun at Grandma Wallace's?" "Yes, a lot! We're

going again tomorrow," Nolan and Lana excitedly shared stories with Nicole.

Gloria, giving them a quick glance, sat down and called Emma. After a short conversation, Nicole and

Jared took Nolan and Lana upstairs.

After talking to Emma on the phone, Gloria felt completely at ease. "Emma said Eliar came home at the

regular time today, looking much better. He seems fine."

Daniel nodded in satisfaction, "Good, he's more mature now." "We can relax now," Gloria smiled

contentedly. Seeing her nephew, similar to her own, she couldn't help but worry at times.

"Good that everything is fine. Now, Dexter won't have to sigh anymore,” Daniel sighed.

"Alright, let's go rest," Gloria stood up, and Daniel followed her upstairs.

Upstairs in the rooms, Nolan and Lana were sharing stories with Nicole.

Jared's phone suddenly rang. After checking the number, he didn't answer immediately, telling Nicole, 'I

need to take this call.1 "Okay," Nicole said, her gaze trailing Jared as he left. She pondered whose call

it was and why Jared seemed bothered. 'What's going on?'

Jared stepped out to take the call, gruffly saying, "Speak."

Chapter 3040

"Mr. Johnston, there's an update," Max conveyed with a serious tone." Everett has taken charge of the

Eastern Falcon, and some members are now following his lead." "How resourceful," Jared remarked,

his tone icy. Everett's sudden return had triggered Jared's suspicions, and Max's investigation

confirmed them.

"It's likely more of his men will come to San Joto soon. Should we prepare?

" Max asked.

Understanding Max's concern, Jared advised, "Not yet. Let them come first. " He believed that

intercepting now might only lead to new replacements. Waiting would make it easier to identify the

targets.

"Okay," Max agreed.

Jared added, "Get Charlie to have someone shadow Nicole. We cant afford any mistakes on her end."

After giving a few more orders, Jared hung up. Turning around, he found Nicole standing behind him.

He reached up and smoothed her hair, saying,"

You caught all of that." "Yeah, I guess I’ve underestimated Everett," Nicole admitted, her expression

darkening. Everett's capabilities were more significant than she thought. 'No wonder he returned so

confidently. The recent subtle actions are clearly meant to divert our attention while secretly

redeploying his men.'

Fortunately, Jared had taken precautions and detected these moves before Everett's plans could fully

materialize.

Holding her gently, Jared comforted, "Even if the real leader of the Eastern Falcon shows up, they

won't be able to harm US."

Nicole bit her lip and suggested, "In that case, I think we should have Zane arrange another team to

come over."

While Jared had some forces under his command, bringing them all to San Joto was impractical.

Currently, only Charlie's team was here. If Zane arranged another team, it should be sufficient.

After sharing her thoughts, Nicole messaged Zane about the situation and her suggestion.

"Let's wait for Zane's reply," Nicole said and put away her phone. She took Jared's hand and added,

"Come on, let's go spend time with the kids."

Jared's eyes softened, and he smiled. "Sure."

The following day, Nicole arrived at Riddle Corporation under brilliant sunshine. As she settled in, the

phone rang. She glanced at it before answering, "Zane." "I've thought about your suggestion. I'll send a

team over today," Zane's voice came through.

"Thanks," Nicole said.

Zane chuckled, ‘ No need to be so polite. They won't only be working with you; they have other tasks

too." "Other tasks?" Nicole asked cautiously. "Do they need my cooperation?" "They’ll be going

undercover with new identities. You just need to provide cover for them," Zane explained.

Nicole hesitated for a moment before asking, "If the mission needs me, just give me a heads up,

okay?"

Zane laughed softly over the phone. "Don't worry. There will be times when we need you."

Nicole might not be as sharp in combat anymore, but her skills and smarts were still intact. Zane had

let her retire, so others would take care of the main missions.

Zane just wanted her to enjoy a peaceful and simple life again.

"Sure thing," Nicole quickly agreed before ending the call.
