Ch. 3201..3205: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 3201-3205

Chapter 3201

Seeing Ellar's dilemma, Emma desperately shook her head, signaling for him not to give in to Everett's manipulation and not to sign the document.

Even though she didn't know what it was, she understood it was definitely detrimental to Ellar.

She didn't want Ellar to be compromised, nor did she want to see Ellar being controlled because of her.

"You'd better not make a fuss; it's better for you that way,” Doretta whispered menacingly close.

Emma, with eyes full of pain, looked at Doretta and said, "I shouldn't have taken you in."

She had been so kind to Doretta, even considering her as a potential daughter-in-law, but Doretta betrayed them.

"Enough talk, shut up," Doretta warned.

"Bring her over," Everett commanded, and Doretta led Emma out of the car.

Ellar's eyes instantly reddened, and he stepped forward to grasp Emma, asking, "Mom, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Emma shook her head and held onto Ellar, insisting, "Do not sign the papers. Don't give in to him."

"Huh? Do you think you still have a choice?" Everett mocked. "If you don't sign, neither of you will be going back today." His patience was wearing thin, and he didn't have the luxury of time to keep up with their resistance.

Emma's face turned pale. She instinctively clutched Ellar's arm.

"Mom, don't be scared," Eliar positioned Emma behind him. He glared at

Everett and said, "I can only give you BayCorp, nothing more."

"You think you have the bargaining power here?" Everett had lost all patience, his tone menacing, "Take this woman and throw her into the river, n

Suddenly, two figures emerged from the shadows, shoving Eliar aside as they attempted to drag Emma away.

"Stop, let her go!" Ellar struggled desperately to reach Emma, but alone he wasn't strong enough. He watched in agony as Emma was pulled further away, her screams tearing at his heart.

"Mom!" Ellar tried to pursue, but Doretta blocked his path.

"Get out of my way!" Ellar glared at Doretta furiously, unable to break free from her grasp.

A loud cry echoed through the area as the men holding Emma were caught off guard. One clutched his bleeding face, while the other scanned the surroundings warily.

Tension froze everyone in place, with the injured man's bloodied face the only evidence of the sudden attack.

"You've got some nerve," Everett sneered. "You've followed US here. Come out then, let's see how you plan to save them on your own."

Another shout rang out as the second man holding Emma collapsed to his knees.

Then Patricia appeared, swiftly pushing Emma toward Ellar, urging, "Take Mrs. Riddle and go!"

Launching herself at Everett, Patricia tried to buy time for Ellarto escape. But just as she intervened, several more assailants in black appeared, enclosing them once again.

"Thinking of leaving? Once you're here, you're staying," Everett declared, managing to dodge Patricia's attack and stepping out of the encirclement.

Patricia's gaze darkened. Regardless of the odds, she had to ensure Ellar and Emma got away.

Quickly strategizing, Patricia attacked the assailant closest to El I ar and Emma, creating an opening. She positioned herself protectively in front of them, fighting while slowly retreating.

Aware of their precarious situation, she whispered urgently to Ellar, "Get Mrs. Riddle out of here fast, I can't hold them off much longer."

Facing multiple adversaries while trying to safeguard Ellar and Emma was overwhelming her.

Chapter 3202

"No, we can't leave you behind," Emma expressed her deep concern. If something were to happen to her, they would be haunted by guilt forever.

"Mrs. Riddle, please go! Once you're safe, I'll find a way to escape,” Patricia urgently shouted, clearly struggling to hold on.

"You must come back safely," El I ar gritted his teeth, pulling Emma away with him.

"Patricia!" Emma was still worried about Patricia, her eyes reddening with urgency.

After escaping the parking basement, Ellar put Emma in a taxi.

"Mom, Dad is in the hospital; you go home first. I'm going back to save Patricia," Ellar said, turning and rushing back to the parking basement.

He knew that their staying wouldn’t have helped Patricia; it was necessary for Emma to leave first. However, he couldn’t abandon Patricia alone; he had to go back.

"Ellar!" Tears instantly welled up in Emma's eyes as she watched Ellar dash back into danger, biting back the words urging him to return.

Returning to the parking basement, Ellar saw Patricia injured, her movements becoming increasingly sluggish. His heart ached immensely at the sight.

"Ah!" Patricia was kicked again, this time in the chest, causing her to stagger backward in pain.

Just as she was about to fall, Ellar caught her.

Falling into a familiar embrace, Patricia was shocked. "Why did you come back?"

"Don't worry, my mom is safe now," Ellar said, steadying Patricia. "I wanted to be here with you."

Patricia glared at him. "You're not helping by being here, why come back?" Her inner voice was filled with exasperation, 'Doesn't he realize how dangerous it is to return? He actually came back after escaping. What a fool.'

"I just can't let anything happen to you," Ellar insisted.

"Go back!" Patricia shouted, pushing Ellar aside and then raising her foot to kick the assailant who had just charged at them.

Ellar, still reeling, saw another assailant approaching and braced himself, closing his eyes and charging with all his might. Surprisingly, brute force proved effective as the assailant was caught off guard and tumbled to the ground.

Seizing the opportunity, Ellar launched a flurry of punches and kicks.

Though lacking technique, his attacks overwhelmed the assailant, who could only howl in pain.

Patricia was taken aback, but she couldn't focus on Ellar as another punch was already coming her way.

The night was deep and tense.

***

The hospital lights were off, visiting hours over. The group, without any news and reluctant to leave the hospital, waited in the courtyard.

"Nicole, they haven't come back for so long, could it be..." Lulu's voice broke, her anxiety palpable.

"Charlie hasn't sent any news back; let's wait a bit longer," Nicole said, her expression somber yet clinging to hope. She knew that if anything had

happened to Ellar and Patricia, Charlie would have been informed and wouldn't have kept it from her.

"At least Emma is safe," Lulu said, glancing toward Dexter's hospital room.

Emma had returned safely and was now resting in the hospital room. They could only wait outside for news, unable to return home without any updates.

Suddenly, two cars drove into the courtyard and stopped in front of the group.

Jared and spencer got out of the cars and approached Nicole and Lulu.

"There's no news yet," Nicole said, looking up at Jared. Her calm tone belied the anxiety beneath.

Chapter 3203

Nicole was restless, trying not to think the worst.

Jared gently embraced her, saying, "Don't worry, they’ll be alright."

Spencer glanced at Emery and suggested, “You should go back first; well stay here."

"I wouldn't be able to sleep anyway; I’d rather wait a bit longer," Emery replied, his expression somber.

Though unspoken, everyone understood the grim reality. Given the time that had elapsed, Ellar and Patricia might be in danger, and now they were waiting for a miracle.

"Spencer, the rest don't know yet, right?” Lulu asked.

"Yeah, we've kept it from them for now," Spencer confirmed.

Lulu clasped her hands together, looking up and murmuring, "I hope Ellar and Patricia come back safely."

If they returned unharmed, they could pretend this incident never happened. But if something had gone wrong, it would be unbearable to face tomorrow.

"There's someone coming."

The conversation was interrupted by the sound of staggering footsteps.

Looking up, they saw two figures leaning on each other, making their way toward them.

"Patricia! Ellar!" The group quickly went forward to meet them.

Both Ellar and Patricia were bloodied and looked disheveled.

"Are you alright?" Lulu asked anxiously.

"Get them to the emergency room," Nicole said, prioritizing their well-being over the need to know what had happened.

"Okay," they all agreed, rushing Ellar and Patricia to the emergency room.

As Ellar and Patricia were treated inside, the rest waited anxiously outside.

"Nicole, considering their condition, escaping must have been tough."

One could only imagine the severity of the situation given their injuries.

"Lulu, don't worry, let's wait for them to come out and then we can ask about the details," Spencer said, holding her gently, trying to soothe her anxious emotions.

"Charlie hasn't sent any news either, what exactly happened?" Nicole frowned slightly, her concern evident.

She had sent Charlie to back up Patricia, but only Patricia and Ellar had returned, with no word from Charlie. ’Did his men manage to capture Everett? How did Patricia and Ellar return with such serious injuries...'

Amidst the swirling confusion, everyone was anxious but remained quietly waiting. They could only hope to get answers once Patricia and El la r were out of treatment.

It felt like an eternity, but finally, the doors to the emergency room opened.

Patricia came out first, her wounds treated but her face still very pale.

"Let's go to the ward first,” Lulu urged. "Let her rest, spencer and I will wait here."

"Alright then," Nicole agreed, helping to move Patricia along with the nurse to the ward.

As Lulu watched Patricia being wheeled away, she felt a twinge of emotion, her eyes welling up with tears.

"If you're worried about her, go and see her. I'll stay here," Emery suggested.

"It's okay, I'll wait for Ellar." His injuries seemed even more severe than Patricia's.

While she was indeed curious about what had transpired, with Nicole and Jared there, they would likely get to the bottom of it. She decided to wait a bit longer; Ellar could also inform her.

Meanwhile, Patricia was now in the ward.

After the nurse left, Nicole and Jared stood beside the bed, looking down at Patricia. Nicole asked, "What exactly happened? How did you and Ellar end up like this, and how did you manage to escape? Where is Charlie?"

Chapter 3204

Patricia's voice was subdued as she slightly bit her lip, recalling the harrowing events.

"We had already arranged for Ellar and Mrs. Riddle to escape first. But after sending Mrs. Riddle off, Ellar returned to the parking lot. Even though he isn't skilled in combat, he didn't hold US back..." Patricia paused, the memory of Ellar's selfless bravery warming her heart.

She had to admit that if Ellar hadn't returned, she might not have been able to hold on until Charlie arrived with backup.

Nicole nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation even though Patricia hadn't detailed everything explicitly. She could imagine the dire circumstances they must have faced.

"What about Charlie?" Nicole asked, piecing together that Charlie must have arrived in time to assist them, which is why they were able to escape.

"I don't know," Patricia shook her head. "He told Eliar and me to go ahead. Seeing Ellar in bad shape, staying would have only hindered their efforts, so we left."

Staying would have meant Charlie splitting his focus to protect them, which wouldn't have been advantageous. Hence, she decided to take Ellar and leave first, hoping this would allow Charlie to concentrate on dealing with Everett.

"Given your skills, managing to hold off until Charlie's arrival suggests their forces weren't invincible. So why hasn't Charlie returned? Could he have encountered something else?" Nicole speculated.

Patricia pondered. Her complexion turned pale as she thought aloud," Could it be... Aquila has shown up?"

The only one she could think of who might stop Charlie was Aquila.

"It's a possibility we cannot dismiss," Nicole said, her expression growing more serious.

"I need to go check," Patricia said, feeling restless at the mention of Aquila, finding it impossible to stay put.

As Patricia attempted to get up, Nicole firmly held her back, saying, "Going now won't change anything."

Whether Aquila appeared or something happened to Charlie, Nicole felt it was too late for Patricia to intervene; she might not even catch a glimpse of them. Patricia had barely escaped; her priority should be to rest and recover.

"Ms. Riddle, I must go," Patricia insisted, her eyes reddening with urgency, regretting leaving Charlie behind. She thought she should have let Ellar go alone and stayed to assist Charlie.

"I'll have Zane send people to look for him. Right now, you need to rest here, " Nicole commanded firmly, her tone leaving no room for argument.

After a moment of internal struggle, Patricia reluctantly agreed, "Okay."

Nicole looked thoughtful. Charlie's absence didn't necessarily mean trouble; perhaps, after making sure Patricia and Ellar were safe, he had found a way to get out of the situation.

She considered that if Charlie had fallen into Everett's hands, Everett would likely have already made contact. 'But why hasn't Charlie reached out to us? Could there be something preventing him?’

"Patricia, how are you?" The quiet ward was suddenly disturbed by the sound of the door opening, followed by Ellar being wheeled in by Emery.

"Why aren't you resting in your room?" Nicole frowned.

Ellar, more severely injured than Patricia, insisted on checking on her.

"He insisted on seeing Patricia," Lulu said, her tone conveying helplessness.

As they spoke, Ell ar had already approached the bedside, his voice filled with concern as he asked Patricia, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, you should go and rest. Your injuries are worse than mine," Patricia urged Ellar, relieved to see his wounds were treated, emphasizing that he needed to rest now.

Ellar relaxed and smiled, saying, "I'm all right."

Patricia's eyes welled up seeing his carefree grin; it was this very person, fiercely determined to protect her, that deeply touched her heart.

 

Chapter 3205

"Ouch!" Ellar suddenly yelped, then looked at Nicole with a mix of annoyance and complained, "Why did you press on my wound?"

"If you're alright, why the scream?" Nicole retorted with a hint of disdain. She thought that both of them needed rest and yet here they were, not taking their injuries seriously and trying to act tough.

Ellar, looking a bit dejected, drooped his head and said, "I just wanted to check on Patricia."

"You've seen her, now go back and rest," Nicole instructed firmly, her eyes conveying serious concern.

Realizing Nicole was unbending in her stance, Ellar acquiesced quietly.

"I'll take him back to his room," Emery offered, wheeling Ellar away.

Ellar glanced back, his eyes lingering on Patricia until he was out of the ward and the door closed behind him.

"He really is worried about you," Lulu commented, looking at Patricia.

"Yeah," Patricia nodded, acknowledging the sentiment but also recognizing the importance of prioritizing their health. Now that both were safe, it was crucial they recuperated fully to ensure peace of mind.

"I'll stay with you tonight," Lulu volunteered eagerly, considering Patricia's condition and deciding it would be best if someone was there to assist her.

After her offer, Lulu turned to Spencer. "You can go back, I'll stay here."

"That's good, I'll bring you guys breakfast tomorrow," Spencer agreed.

Seeing it was getting late, Nicole, having made sure Patricia and Lulu were settled, left with Jared.

Spencer gave one last reminder and then followed Nicole and Jared out.

"Patricia, if you need anything, just call me," Lulu reminded her warmly.

"Thank you," Patricia expressed her gratitude, appreciative of Lulu staying to look after her.

"Don't mention it. Who knows, you might officially become Ellar's wife soon, and then we're all family. There's no need for formalities among family," Lulu said with a smile.

Patricia's cheeks flushed with a hint of red as she muttered, "Don't start with that."

"Ah, why be shy? It's clear Ellar would go to great lengths for you," Lulu teased.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I need to rest," Patricia quickly changed the subject, feeling increasingly bashful with Lulu's comments.

"Alright, you rest. I'll be right here with you," Lulu responded, ceasing her teasing and moving to the attendant's bed.

Patricia breathed a sigh of relief, but sleep eluded her. Her mind replayed Ellar's return and his relentless determination to protect her.

Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared were in their car.

Spencer approached them quietly, asking, "There's really no problem, right?"

"We'll handle it," Nicole responded, her expression somewhat grim.

"Alright then, I won't pry further. I'll head back now and come by early tomorrow," Spencer replied.

Nicole nodded in acknowledgment, and Spencer turned to leave.

"What exactly happened to Charlie?" Nicole asked Jared, her voice laden with concern.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine," Jared comforted her, suggesting that no news might actually be good news in this case.

Nicole bit her lip slightly, her brow furrowing as she said, "Even if Charlie is safe, the lack of news probably means they didn't catch Everett..."

She was somewhat surprised by how elusive Everett had proven to be.

Sensing her concern, Jared took Nicole's hand gently, reassuring her," Everything will become clear once Charlie returns."

"Yeah," Nicole nodded, knowing all they could do now was wait for news.

"Let's rest for a while," Jared suggested, holding Nicole close. She leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

By the time they arrived back at the Riddle residence, it was nearing midnight.
