Ch. 3156..3160: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 3156-3160

Chapter 3156

"Yes, that's fine," understanding Jared's suggestion, Nicole smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Good, I'll give you the dress when you have your wedding party," Mrs. Wallace Sr. said with a smile.

Tia took Mrs. Wallace Sr.'s hand and said, "Then I'll have a traditional Hustuaburgian wedding party,

and I'll wear the dress you made for the whole event."

Although Jared and Nicole's wedding party hadn't happened yet, Tia knew that everything was already

set, and they were just waiting for the right time. So, to have Nicole wear a traditional Hustuaburgian

wedding dress, it meant adding an occasion to switch gowns.

As for her own wedding party, since it was still in the early planning stages, it seemed fitting to decide

on a traditional Hustuaburgian-themed wedding party.

"Stanley, do you think that's okay?" Tia looked up at Stanley for his opinion.

"As long as you're happy," Stanley said, willing to fulfill her wishes.

"Good, you're all my good children," Mrs. Wallace Sr. said contentedly.

Gloria considered for a moment and agreed, "Alright, then a traditional Hustuaburgian wedding it is."

"Tomorrow, we'll visit the professional wedding planner to discuss the specific procedures," Emma

added.

"Let's set the date for the fifth of next month for the traditional Hustuaburgian wedding ceremony and

party. Tia already has her dress, and it will be much easier to arrange Stanley's attire. We'll definitely

have

enough time," Gloria calculated.

"Yes, let's decide on that," Daniel saw that everyone agreed and gave his approval.

Everyone quickly reached a consensus on Stanley and Tia's wedding party arrangements.

"Let's all have dinner," Daniel said, noticing it was about time to eat.

"Alright, dinnertime," Gloria echoed.

Soon, everyone gathered in the dining room to sit down for dinner.

During the meal, the conversation continued about Stanley and Tia's wedding plans. After a lively

dinner, Emma and Dexter said their goodbyes and left.

"Daniel, Gloria, we'll head back now," Tia announced, ready to accompany Mrs. Wallace Sr.

"Great-Grandma Wallace, make sure to rest well," Nolan and Lana advised in a grown-up manner.

It amused Mrs. Wallace Sr. so much that she couldn't stop smiling as she responded, "Oh, alright, you

two should also head to bed early."

After exchanging glances, Tia and Stanley proceeded to wheel Mrs. Wallace Sr. away.

Watching the two leave, Nicole expressed her surprise, "I never expected Grandma to have prepared

dresses for US by hand."

'If things had gone differently, maybe I would have already had a wedding wearing the dress Grandma

made.’ Nicole thought, glancing at Jared, who was already looking at her, eliciting a smile from her.

"It's getting late; we should all head to bed," Gloria suggested to everyone.

"Alright," they agreed, with Stanley reminding, "Mom, Dad, you should get some rest too."

"Okay," Daniel and Gloria headed upstairs first.

Jared, Nicole, and the kids made their way upstairs.

Nolan glanced back at Stanley, teasing, "Uncle Stanley, you're not going to be able to sleep tonight, are

you?"

"Even if he can't sleep, he'll be happy," Lana said with a giggle.

Stanley, hearing such words from the two adorable kids, couldn't help but laugh. "You two little rascals,

off to bed with you."

"Hehe," Nolan and Lana trotted off, satisfied.

Stanley glanced outside, his thoughts drifting to Tia, his smile deepening even further.

 

Chapter 3157

Three days flew by quickly, and the people arranged by Zane arrived in San Joto.

"Zane has briefed you on the situation, right?" Nicole asked in a serious tone.

"Yes, clearly," a man's voice came through the phone.

"The squad we sent out earlier should have gathered some information by now. Let's arrange a

meeting to exchange what they've found. You can handle the follow-up work on your own. If you need

any help, just let me know," Nicole added.

"Okay," the other party agreed.

After hanging up, Nicole took a deep breath.

She had already arranged for someone to start the investigation earlier, and with these new arrivals,

they could directly proceed with the next steps.

"Nicole, are you really not going to participate?" Lulu asked Nicole with some confusion.

"They'll keep me updated on the progress. As for the rest, it's better to let them handle it. After all, I'm

no longer part of Zane's organization, and it's actually not appropriate for me to be involved in some of

their internal matters," Nicole explained, noting that some information needed to remain confidential.

The rules of the organization didn't allow for exceptions, even considering her unique status. This

wasn't about worrying over information leaks.

Having fewer people involved would ensure higher mission confidentiality, which would be more

advantageous for its success.

"So, any updates on their investigation? Have they found any evidence?" Lulu wondered.

"No evidence yet, but they've identified the identities of several individuals involved. They’re just waiting

for concrete evidence before making any arrests," Nicole explained. Planning was necessary before

any arrests to avoid alerting the suspects prematurely.

"Once those people are arrested, Everett will have to behave himself a bit more," Lulu huffed.

"Everett, huh? That's really hard to say," Nicole shrugged, thinking he might either calm down or

become even more frantic. She secretly hoped for the latter, as it would give them more opportunities.

Lulu sighed, agreeing that Everett was indeed difficult to predict.

Seeing Lulu looking somewhat deflated, Nicole smiled. "Don't be discouraged. The situation is still in

our favor."

"It's not that I'm worried about that. It's just frustrating that we still can't bring Everett to justice," Lulu

shook her head resignedly, noting Everett's cunning nature.

"Alright, don't fret over him. Everything will turn out fine," Nicole comforted Lulu.

Lulu nodded, then thought of something. She asked, "Oh, right. I heard that Stanley and Tia's wedding

has been set."

"Yes, it's scheduled for the fifth of next month. Starting today, Mom and Emma will begin the

preparations," Nicole explained.

"It hasn't been easy for them, but at least they're finally getting their happy ending," Lulu remarked.

Plus, having a joyful family event was good for everyone.

"Yes," said Nicole. She then added with a smile, But this means that Preston and Ellar will feel even

more pressure."

"Ellar maybe, but Preston's pressure must be even greater," Lulu laughed.

"However, I feel like Emma seems more anxious than Karen," Nicole said, biting her lip slightly with a

hint of amusement in her eyes.

Lulu pondered then agreed, "That seems true. But doesn't that make it look like Preston is less cared

for?"

"Is that such a bad thing?" Preston's voice suddenly interrupted, startling Lulu as they were speaking.

Turning to see the person at the door, she asked in surprise, "What brings you here?"

It was such a coincidence-they were just gossiping about him, and there he was. How awkward.

"I was just coming to see Nicole when I overheard something," Preston said, seemingly noticing Lulu's

embarrassment, adding that detail on purpose.

Chapter 3158

"Now that you know, what do you think about it?" Seeing that Preston was teasing her, Lulu didn't back

down.

"I can't change anything with my thoughts. Right now, the only thing I care about is not feeling

pressured to get married. Everything else isn't that important. As long as I'm not rushed into marriage,

the pressure isn't a big deal."

"Wait until Ellar gets married, then you'll see," Lulu said, shrugging and looking forward to the drama

that might happen.

"Then well wait/ Preston replied casually, as if the idea of Ellar getting married was not a big deal.

"You mean Ellar getting married is unlikely?" Lulu asked, tilting her head and sizing up Preston.

"Good things take time/ Preston remarked, genuinely believing Ellar's journey to marriage wouldn't be

smooth.

Lulu pouted. "You're not very optimistic about his marriage. Be careful, or Ellar might come after you."

Preston chuckled but didn't continue the topic. Instead, he turned to Nicole. "Have you changed the

direction of the investigation?"

"What's up?" Nicole asked, her expression turning serious.

"Here's the deal. I had a lead on someone suspected to be part of the Eastern Falcon, but suddenly

there's been no word from him. I'm a bit worried. Did they discover something?''

"Well..." Nicole began, briefly explaining the situation to Preston.

Preston immediately understood. "I see. I thought your actions might have spooked them."

"Some things are better left to them. I shouldn't get too involved, just offer some support," Nicole said,

indicating she would step in only if absolutely necessary.

"As long as everything's okay," Preston knew he shouldn't pry further.

"Has there been any new activity from Jerry's side recently?" Nicole inquired.

Preston shook his head." It looks like all their attention is on dealing with Ellar right now. There haven't

been any other moves lately."

"Alright, I got it," Nicole responded.

"You must remind Ellarto be cautious/ Preston added, still concerned.

Nicole nodded. "I know, don't worry."

"Alright, I'm off then," Preston said, preparing to leave.

"Bye/ Nicole and Lulu called out.

"If there's any new update, I'll let you know," Preston said before turning to leave.

Checking the time, Lulu also said, "I should get going too."

"Okay/ Nicole responded.

Soon, Nicole was left alone in the office.

She leaned back in her chair, her eyes shadowed with contemplation. ’ Everything now is about waiting

for the right moment to strike. Patience can determine the victor, and I have plenty of it.'

Meanwhile, at BayCorp, Ellar had just finished his paperwork when he heard a knock on the door.

Setting the documents aside, he looked up and called, "Come in."

The door opened. The moment he saw it was Doretta, the hopeful expression on his face instantly

disappeared.

"Ellar, there's a document here I think has some issues. Take a look/ Doretta placed the file in front of

Ellar. "Here, I feel this plan might be somewhat disadvantageous to our company..."

"You have a point," Ellar agreed with Doretta, then said, "Then let's revise it as you suggest." "But this

isn't my project. I just noticed it while helping with the printing. If it's handed over to me..." Doretta said,

sounded a bit troubled, "Would that be alright?"

Chapter 3159

"As long as it's good for our company," Ellar responded, seemingly unconcerned.

Doretta nodded. "Alright then, I'll make the changes and bring it back to you for review."

After watching Doretta leave, a deeper shadow crossed Eliar’s eyes. Doretta hadn't shown any unusual

behavior recently, seemingly devoted entirely to the company.

He wondered, 'What exactly is she planning, or is she waiting for me to let my guard down?

'Yet, I have given her plenty of opportunities lately.

'Could it be that Doretta has discovered something, which is why she hasn't made a move?'

Feeling increasingly unsettled, Ellar sighed and left his office.

He went to Patricia's office. After checking the surroundings, he spoke in a lowered voice, "She hasn't

made any moves recently. Do you think she might have discovered something?"

"It's unlikely. She's probably just looking for the right opportunity," Patricia speculated after a moment's

thought.

"When is she going to act, though? I'm really getting impatient." Ever since the plan was changed, he

had been almost too eager. Just the thought about Doretta taking the seal he planted and Everett

showing up with documents bearing the fake seal excited him.

Seeing Ellar's anticipation, Patricia shook her head.

"Don't you want Doretta to take the fake seal soon?" Ellar asked, puzzled by

Patricia's reaction.

Patricia gave Ell ar a look. "Do you really think Everett is that simple?" Even if they had a plan, it didn't

mean Everett would be easily fooled, which was why she wasn't as optimistic.

"Well, he trusts Doretta enough to ask for her help, so he'll trust what she brings him," Ellar said

confidently. He believed Everett wouldn't suspect a thing and that everything would proceed smoothly.

"Even if he doesn't suspect, he’s not an easy opponent to deal with," Patricia's gaze darkened slightly.

She was worried that even if the plan succeeded, it might not truly harm Everett fundamentally.

"At this point, all we can do is follow through with the plan; otherwise, all our efforts will have been for

nothing." Ellar's excitement waned a bit, his expression turning serious.

"Yes, but I can't shake this feeling of unease," Patricia sighed quietly, then looked up at Ellar. But we do

need to continue with the plan." After all, these were just her worries, perhaps she was overthinking.

"Right, but don't worry too much. Even if it doesn't work out this time, we don't lose anything," Ellar tried

to reassure Patricia.

Patricia nodded. Indeed, at the very least, they could cause some trouble for Everett, and Doretta

couldn't stay at the company afterward. That would ensure some degree of security.

"You've been looking tired lately, and you've lost weight. My mom asked me to invite you over for

dinner tonight. She's prepared your favorite dishes, " Ellar asked Patricia with concern, "Would you

come with me?"

"I..." Patricia bit her lip, initially wanting to decline. But when she thought of Emma's effort, she felt it

would be rude to reject such kindness.

Seeing Patricia hesitate, Ellar made the decision for her. "Then I'll take that as a yes. Let's go together

after work."

Watching Ellar hurry off as if afraid she might change her mind, Patricia, who had intended to refuse,

froze mid-sentence. She shook her head and chuckled lightly at his eagerness.

In the afternoon, Nicole was resting on the couch in her office.

Her phone rang, and after glancing at the caller ID, she narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Hello?" Picking up, Nicole asked, "Is there a situation?"

"We've managed to control the personnel, but regarding the situation with those companies, we're

powerless," the caller informed.

Nicole bit her lip lightly. "Alright, I understand."

Hanging up, Nicole fiddled with the phone in her hand, lost in thought for a moment.

"What are you thinking about? You didn't even hear me knock. Did something happen?" Lulu entered,

frowning slightly as she asked Nicole.

Chapter 3160

"They've succeeded," Nicole responded.

Lulu was somewhat surprised. "If they've succeeded, why do you look so troubled?"

"We've got control over the people, but they can't help with the situation at the affected companies,"

Nicole explained.

"Oh, right, they can't really interfere with the operations of other companies, " Lulu nodded, then asked,

"So, what do we do now?"

"It looks like we'll have to ask them for help," Nicole said, her eyes darkening slightly.

"Them?" Lulu didn't understand who Nicole was referring to.

Watching Nicole began to fiddle with her watch, Lulu realized and couldn't help but exclaim in shock,

"Are you really going to use their power?"

That was a force only crest holders could wield. She wondered, 'Is Nicole really going to use it to help

those companies?’

"There's no better option at this point, and helping them is helping ourselves," Nicole sighed.

"Will Everett move against the families behind the force then?" Lulu asked, a bit worried.

Nicole smiled a little. "I don't think he can do that yet."

While Nicole wanted those families to assist, she preferred them to keep their actions hidden. Since

they chose to live in secrecy, she wouldn't disrupt their peaceful lives without a good reason.

"It looks like we don't have any other options," Nicole said.

She bit her lip slightly, then pressed a button on her watch. Soon, a projection screen popped up. After

she entered some content and sent it, the projection quickly retracted.

"Your watch is really amazing," Lulu said in amazement.

"Its original functions were already powerful, and I've made some upgrades and modifications," Nicole

said, tucking the watch back into her sleeve.

Yeah, I've heard you can even control your robots through it," Lulu praised again. This was actually her

first time witnessing how it worked, and it was truly magical.

Nicole smiled a little, changing the subject. "Your workload is going to increase soon. Do you think you

can handle it?"

"I can," Lulu replied, understanding Nicole's meaning.

If those companies' problems were fixed, their joint projects with the Riddle Corporation would go on,

and her work would increase. But these were projects she knew well, so she felt sure she could

manage them.

"If you run into any problems, just let me know," Nicole said.

"Don't worry, I will," Lulu promised. She liked handling certain things by herself, and these tasks were

definitely doable for her.

Seeing Lulu's determination, Nicole didn't say anything else.

In the evening, the moment Nicole found Jared already waiting for her outside the company building,

she smiled.

As she got into the car, Nicole leaned on Jared's shoulder, looking very pleased.

Jared affectionately squeezed her hand, saying, "You seem really happy."
