Ch. 3191..3195: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 3191-3195

Chapter 3191

Stanley said, "If you need my help, just ask."

Spencer shook his head. "No, focus on getting ready for your wedding with Tia."

"Right, your wedding's the main thing. Well handle the rest," Samuel added.

"Preston thinks we should talk about our plan," Preston said.

Nicole thought for a bit and then agreed, "Okay, let's do this. We will..."

After everyone agreed on the plan and left, Nicole went back to her room.

Jared was there, reading at the desk.

"You're reading?" Nicole came over, hugging Jared from behind and leaning on him.

Jared closed his book and sat Nicole on his lap, whispering, "Looks like you all have a plan." He guessed the meeting was over since Nicole was back.

"Preston found some useful info for US," Nicole told him.

"Hmm." Jared nodded, realizing their talk was over. He trusted they would fill him in when needed.

He stroked her hair gently and whispered, "Let's get some sleep."

"I'm pretty tired," Nicole agreed, smiling and resting her head on his shoulder.

Jared looked at her lovingly, then carefully picked her up and carried her to the bed.

Nicole, holding him tightly, smiled happily, looking completely at peace and joyful.

It was a very dark night. Everett, having found a place to stay, looked around the small room quietly, his face showing acceptance.

"Sir, we should stay here for now; it's safer," Aquila mentioned. He had noticed Everett wasn't happy, so he emphasized the importance of safety.

"Hmm," Everett made a non-committal sound, showing he got the point, even if he wasn't thrilled.

"I'm going to sleep," Doretta mentioned, looking at them before leaving the room.

She knew Everett letting her stay was a big deal and didn't want to push her luck by hanging around too much.

"She knows her place," Aquila remarked a bit coldly, then asked Everett," Sir, do you think we can trust her?"

"It doesn't matter; she has nowhere else to go and might still be helpful," Everett answered. He thought to himself, 'Whether I can trust her isn't really important, as I don't intend to have her stay with US for long.'

"Got it," Aquila nodded.

Everett, with a bit of a cold look, asked, "Got any updates?"

"The police are looking for you, and the Riddle family hasn't done much, which is strange. They all met up at their family manor today, looking pretty busy," Aquila informed.

"Nicole knows what I'm up to," Everett said coldly, guessing she alerted everyone, maybe worrying he’d want revenge.

Understanding what Everett meant, Aquila quietly asked, "Is our plan still on?"

"I'm aiming for Ellar. With Doretta here, he's bound to react," Everett said, his eyes showing a hint of a plan.

"But Doretta has turned against him; would he care?" Aquila wondered.

"If we have Emma..." Everett mentioned with a sly smile, implying more to his plan.

Aquila caught on. "That's a smart move."

"Go and get some rest," Everett directed, looking at Aquila.

"Yes, sir," Aquila agreed and left the room.

Chapter 3192

Everett looked around the room and chose to sit in a chair, closing his eyes to rest and think.

The next day dawned bright and sunny.

After dropping Nicole off at Riddle Corporation, Jared’s car slowly pulled away.

"Mr. Johnston, we haven't found where Everett is hiding yet. Mrs. Johnston is starting with Jerry, and they already control Hexton," Max updated him.

"Hmm," Jared responded, appreciating the useful details from Preston.

"It's unlikely Everett will appear soon, but he won't just sit back either. And with Aquila with him..." he hinted at the challenge Aquila presented.

"He'll show himself," Jared stated, looking serious and determined.

Max was a bit shocked. "He would risk coming out now?" With the police after him, Zane's people searching, and their own vigilant watch, it seemed unlikely.

"He can't just hide forever," Jared was certain. Everett had been hiding for a long time, but now back in San Joto, he wouldn't want to just wait around. His resources were limited, which meant he'd have to act soon.

"What's our plan?" Max inquired softly.

Jared believed that if Everett was indeed planning something, it could be their chance to catch him.

"Watch Doretta closely," he ordered sharply.

Max understood the strategy and agreed. Everett must have plans for Doretta, or he wouldn't have bothered keeping her around.

At Riddle Corporation, Nicole glanced up at Patricia, her voice tinged with concern. "Go back and rest for now. Everett won't get far."

"I’m worried that if we don't catch him soon, he might still pose a threat to everyone's safety," Patricia replied, her face pale. She had spent the entire night searching for Everett but there was no trace of him, so her anxiety was evident.

"Okay, what you need most now is rest. Look at yourself; even if Everett were right in front of you, what could you possibly do? Don't forget, he has Aquila by his side," Nicole said somewhat resignedly.

She understood Patricia's concern, but she knew that anxiousness alone wouldn't resolve the situation.

"But I..." Patricia tried to protest but was silenced by Nicole's firm look.

"If you don't want to go back to the apartment, then head to the resting room. Right now, your main task is to rest," Nicole insisted, emphasizing the importance of Patricia getting some rest. Given Patricia's physical and mental state, she needed to recuperate to avoid being overwhelmed by the immense pressure.

"Okay," Patricia reluctantly agreed.

After watching Patricia leave, Nicole sighed softly and shook her head. She knew it was essential for Patricia to rest well and regain her energy to tackle upcoming tasks.

In the afternoon, after having lunch with Lulu, Nicole returned to find Patricia had woken up from her nap.

"Perfect timing, we brought you lunch," Lulu said, handing over the takeout meal box to Patricia.

"Thank you," Patricia gratefully accepted the meal box.

Nicole observed Patricia, who seemed much improved after some rest.

"Thanks, I feel much better now," Patricia said, feeling grateful. She hadn't realized how tired she was before, but now that she had a chance to relax, she could feel her mind clearing up.

"Good," Nicole nodded. "There’s still more important work to be done later."

"Yes," Patricia responded.

Lulu smiled and reminded, "Go have your meal." "Alright," Patricia replied, taking her meal box to the resting room.

 

Chapter 3193

"Nicole, any updates on what Preston mentioned yesterday?" Lulu asked.

"Not yet, but Everett can't wait much longer," Nicole replied, her eyes showing concern. She believed that by now, Everett would be feeling the most pressure.

"What on earth could Everett be hiding?" Lulu wondered, puzzled that despite so many people searching for so long, they still couldn't locate him.

Nicole narrowed her eyes, deep in thought. "Aquila must be really skilled," she said, wondering how Everett managed to get such a capable person on his side.

Lulu nodded, ' He's definitely mysterious and skilled. He's hidden Everett so well that nobody can find him."

Nicole added, "People who can hide like this must be really good at avoiding being watched and must also be experts at disguising themselves. " She figured this was how Everett's men managed to stay hidden from everyone searching forthem.

"Ms. Riddle, I was thinking the same thing," Patricia chimed in as she entered the room, catching the tail end of Nicole's words.

"Does that mean it'll be even harder to find him?" Lulu asked, her brow furrowing in concern.

"No matter how tough it gets, we have to find him," Nicole asserted, her gaze steely and determined.

The room fell silent for a few seconds before Patricia broke the tension." Ms. Riddle, I'm heading to BayCorp now." Despite having rested all morning, she was still anxious about Ellar’s situation.

"Okay," Nicole replied calmly.

Patricia nodded and swiftly left the room.

"It's obvious that Patricia is really concerned about Ellar," Lulu remarked, her expression softening.

She had thought that everything had calmed down, but Everett's escape had caught them off guard. She added jokingly, "Everett must be as hard to kill as a cockroach."

"Indeed, Ell ar is in greater danger comparatively," Nicole said, her voice tinged with concern.

While she had entertained the possibility of Everett seeking revenge on members of the Riddle family, the current circumstances made it clear that Ellar was the most likely target.

"You're right. Everett must have thought Ellar was an easy target, but look how that turned out..." Lulu shrugged, implying that Everett must be incredibly resentful toward Ellar by now.

"Let's all just focus on our tasks; we can't stop everything just because of Everett. We need to be fully prepared, but we can't neglect our other responsibilities," Nicole resolved. Ensuring thorough readiness was crucial, but so was continuing with their usual work.

"Right, I'll get back to work," Lulu nodded in agreement. While she was concerned and intended to inquire about these matters, she also acknowledged her limitations in providing assistance.

Hence, she decided to focus on the company's affairs instead, hoping to alleviate some of Nicole's burdens.

Nicole sighed and picked up the phone to call Zane.

"Nicole," came Zane's voice.

After updating Zane on the situation, Nicole spoke softly, "We need to keep a close eye on Aquila and also Everett. I suspect he might use Doretta to his advantage."

"I understand. I've been considering that possibility as well," Zane replied.

"That's reassuring," Nicole said, feeling somewhat relieved.

After a slight hesitation, Zane asked, "Is everything okay at home?"

"It's fine. I guess since everyone already knows Everett's character and methods, it is easy for them to accept the situation," Nicole responded.

"It's right to caution everyone to be careful." While they speculated on Everett's next move, it was still essential to maintain necessary precautions.

"This situation might be a bit tricky; you be careful too," Nicole advised.

Zane replied with a light chuckle, "Don't worry, I'd be more concerned if he didn't show up."

"Alright, take care," Nicole said with a slight smile before saying goodbye.

"Goodbye," Zane ended the call.

With everything arranged, Nicole took a deep breath and picked up the documents beside her, ready to tackle the next task at hand.

Chapter 3194

Nicole's next task was simply to wait.

As the day turned to dusk, Nicole left the office to pick up Nolan and Lana with Jared. With Tia and Stanley busy with their wedding preparations, the couple decided to personally take care of picking up the children.

"Let's take the kids to the amusement park later,'1 Nicole suggested to Jared.

"Sounds good," Jared replied softly, always happy to go along with her ideas.

After picking up Nolan and Lana, Nicole told them as they got into the car," We won't be going home just yet. How about we go to the amusement park to have some fun?"

"Yay!" Nolan and Lana agreed excitedly.

Nicole smiled as she affectionately ruffled the kids' hair. They hadn't shielded Nolan and Lana from the events of the previous day. Although the kids didn't voice any concerns, Nicole sensed they might be feeling some stress.

She believed in not hiding such matters from them, thinking it was better they were aware and could perhaps be more vigilant, especially since their safety could be involved.

"Mommy, can we have ice cream there?" Lana looked up eagerly, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Of course," Jared replied, lifting Lana up and playfully tapping her nose.

Lana beamed with happiness, wrapping her arms around Jared. "Thank you, Daddy!"

Jared's face lit up with a doting smile.

Seeing the children's joyful expressions, Nicole felt a sense of relief. Thankfully, the situation hadn't negatively impacted Nolan and Lana.

At the amusement park, Nicole and Jared, along with Nolan and Lana, engaged in various rides and games the children enjoyed. Before they knew it, the sky had darkened completely.

Wiping the sweat from Nolan and Lana's foreheads, Nicole gently said, "It's getting late. How about we take you to have dinner and buy you some ice cream?"

"Okay!" Nolan and Lana joyfully agreed.

"After dinner, well head home," Nicole added.

"Alright," Nolan and Lana nodded in agreement. They had indeed played for quite some time, and it was getting too late to stay out.

After treating Nolan and Lana to ice cream, Jared and Nicole chose a nearby restaurant for a quick dinner.

Exiting the restaurant, the streets were already lit up with neon lights.

Holding Nolan and Lana, they got back into the car and headed toward the Riddle residence.

"Mr. and Mrs. Johnston, the traffic is a bit congested, please sit tight," Max suddenly mentioned.

Nicole and Jared exchanged a look, then each held Nolan and Lana close.

They understood Max's hint; a car was following them. He didn't elaborate to avoid alarming Nolan and Lana.

The car picked up speed, with Max trying to lose the vehicle tailing them. He wasn't sure who was behind them, but being followed necessitated caution, especially with Nolan and Lana in the car. Raising an alarm could indeed scare them.

"Daddy, I feel a bit dizzy," Lana said, likely feeling nauseous due to the fast, uneven driving.

Jared held Lana closer, comforting her softly, "Hang in there; well be home soon."

"Okay,” Lana's little face turned pale as she snuggled into Jared's embrace.

Max tried to keep the car as steady as possible, but the high speed made it challenging to maintain a smooth ride.ab

Chapter 3195

After a while, Max gradually slowed the car down.

Nicole glanced through the rearview mirror, noting that the car that had been following them was no longer in pursuit.

Upon reaching the Riddle residence, Nicole, along with Nolan and Lana, got out of the car first.

Jared instructed Max, "Find out exactly what happened."

"Yes," Max responded respectfully.

After Max left to investigate, Jared went into the house.

Knowing that Jared had sent Max to look into the matter, Nicole didn’t inquire further. Instead, she and Jared took Nolan and Lana upstairs.

The next day dawned bright and sunny.

After dropping Nolan and Lana at the kindergarten, Jared's car drove away.

"Mr. Johnston, Mrs. Johnston, the people following US last night appear to be Lawrence's men," Max reported, frowning slightly.

"Lawrence!" Nicole expressed surprise. 'Why would Lawrence have his people follow US?'

"Do you know what this is about?" Jared's voice carried a hint of coldness.

Max hesitated before replying, "After realizing we noticed them, they left. There haven't been any further actions. Could it be they were checking on Nolan and Lana?"

Max speculated that since Lawrence often sneaked visits to the kindergarten to see Nolan and Lana, maybe he had arranged for someone else to observe, given that Nicole and Jared were now the ones doing the pickups.

"It's unlikely," Nicole dismissed the idea.

She felt if Lawrence merely wanted to check on Nolan and Lana, he wouldn't need to go to such lengths. He could have come by himself, and she wouldn't be able to act against him just for that. After all this time, Lawrence had only been secretly watching the kids without revealing himself or letting them know of his presence.

"So what do you think he's really up to?" Max asked, puzzled.

"Not sure yet, but keep a close eye on him from now on," Nicole advised Max. Although she couldn't discern Lawrence's intentions, it was still wise to be cautious.

"Got it," Max affirmed.

Jared gently grasped Nicole's hand, offering a comforting gesture.

Nicole offered a slight smile at Jared, understanding his reassurance that they would keep Nolan and Lana safe.

Upon arriving at Riddle Corporation, Nicole got out of the car.

After watching Nicole enter the company building, Jared leaned back in his seat, his gaze sharpening as he instructed, "Let's go."

Max started the car and then added, "I'll arrange for someone to keep an eye on Lawrence."

"Find the person from last night," Jared commanded in a low tone.

"But..." Max hesitated, concerned that this might alert Lawrence and potentially spook him.

Thinking this over, Max glanced at Jared through the rearview mirror, meeting his icy stare, and instinctively replied, "Yes, sir."

As Max redirected his gaze, he internally acknowledged that Jared probably didn't mind alerting Lawrence, perhaps even intending to send Lawrence a warning.

Leaning back, Jared looked out the car window, his expression unreadable and frosty.

Meanwhile, once inside her office, Nicole settled down at her desk.

When Lulu brought in some documents, she noticed Nicole's pale complexion and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"It’s nothing," Nicole shook her head, then looked at Lulu and asked, "Is everything going smoothly on your end?"

"All is well, don't worry," Lulu reassured her.

Good," Nicole nodded, settling into the workday ahead.
