Ch. 3276..3280: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 3276-3280

Chapter 3276

Once Ruth took the Rainbow Pill, Iris, Cynthia, and Snow each took one as well.

Leon saw the three of them as his most important family and friends, so none of them felt the need to be overly polite.

Roanne was the only one who was hesitant to accept the Rainbow Pills.

It was far too valuable and she did not know Leon for that long. Hence, her bond with Leon was not as strong as it was with the other women and she could not bring herself to accept such a precious gift.

"Roanne, this Rainbow Pill is for you. Just take it." Leon smiled.

Seeing her concern, he shoved the pill into her hand.

Though Roanne's condition differed from that of the other four, he was close with the Thompsons.

Back in the southern region, he only managed to defeat the Southern Boss and the Spears because he had the Thompsons' help.

On top of that, Roanne was a shareholder of Elegante Group and has been living with them in recent times.

Apart from that, Roanne was innocent and sweet, so he came to consider her as a younger sister.

Since Iris and the others each got their Rainbow Pill, he could not possibly leave Roanne out as it would be inappropriate.

"Thank you, Leon!" Seeing how insistent he was, Roanne felt touched and accepted the pill in the end.

"Alright. Leon, take out the Spiritual Pearl. I want to test the Rainbow Pills now," Ruth, who was always obsessed with martial arts, could not wait any longer.

"Sure," Leon said and took out the Spiritual Pearl.

Once activated, the Spiritual Pearl lifted into the air and emitted waves of powerful true, and spiritual energy that surrounded the group.

Leon then took out a few premium Energy Nurturing Pills and handed them to the women.

They each took the premium Energy Nurturing Pills and Rainbow Pills, before sitting on the ground to start their training.

As Iris and the others started their training, Leon took out a Supreme Pure Energy Pill and swallowed it.

With the help of the Rainbow Pill, he successfully reached the Intermediate Golden Core Phase from the Initial Golden Core Phase.

His level in martial arts rose to the Semi-Emperor state as well.

However, he did not have extra Supreme Pure Energy Pills with him at the time and could not use them to get to the Emperor State.

Hence, he had to give up.

In the present, he produced a new batch of Supreme Pure Energy Pills and kept a few with him.

As Iris and the others trained, he took one to get to the Emperor State.

The Supreme Pure Energy Pill melted in his mouth, transforming into streams of powerful true energy that coursed through his body.

Like the others, he sat down on the ground and stared to absorb the true energy in his body for his training.

 

Chapter 3277

In the backyard of the villa, a helicopter waited on the lawn, ready for immediate departure from San Joto.

"Get in,’ Lawrence said to Nicole, noticing her momentary pause.

"Alright," Nicole responded, stepping into the helicopter first. She figured it was best to go along for now, seeing no viable way to escape. Resistance seemed futile.

With everyone on board, the helicopter lifted off, quickly gaining altitude and leaving the area behind.

As the helicopter shrank to a mere speck in the sky, Doretta made her appearance, her expression one of deep concern. Without wasting a moment, she hurried away from the scene.

Her destination was clear: the Riddle residence.

In the study, Jared frowned at Doretta. "Why are you here?" "Nicole has been taken by Lawrence," Doretta said through clenched teeth.

"After discussing the plan with Nicole, I left first.

"But then, I remembered something and turned back, only to see someone taking Nicole away.

"I followed them and discovered she was captured by Lawrence's people."

Jared's expression darkened when he realized Lawrence might have been waiting for a moment when Nicole was alone to capture her.

If Doretta hadn't had a reason to return, they might not have found out about this so quickly.

"I'll have Max work with you. Well rescue her immediately," Jared instructed Doretta without hesitation.

"No," Doretta said, shaking her head. ‘I wanted to rescue her at the time, but she signaled me not to reveal myself and to bring the message to you instead."

She was shocked at Nicole's gesture, but she refrained from attempting a rescue and chose to follow Nicole's wishes.

"So she has a plan?" Jared's expression turned more serious as he thought, 'It must be so, otherwise why wouldn't she let Doretta rescue her?' "It seems like it," Doretta replied. ’ And they've left on a helicopter. It's too late to stop them from leaving San Joto." "Did she say anything else?" Jared's eyes narrowed slightly, indicating that since Nicole willingly left with Lawrence, she must have had a plan.

Doretta answered, "Nicole mentioned going to Mecrounia.”

Jared fell silent for a moment, his gaze intense.

After a while, he finally said, "Get ready. We're leaving right away." "Okay." Doretta agreed and quickly left the Riddle residence.

A short while later, Jared emerged from the study, looking composed once more.

In the living room, Daniel and Gloria were watching TV with Nolan and Lana.

"Daddy," Nolan and Lana turned to Jared and asked, "When is Mommy coming back?" "Mommy has some work to do, and I need to go help Mommy. We might not be back for a few days," Jared sat down and gathered Nolan and Lana into his arms. "You'll stay here with your grandparents, okay? Until we return?" "Okay," Lana nodded in agreement.

Nolan seemed hesitant. "Is it really about work?" he asked.

"Of course, it's work,” Jared said with a slight smile.

"But why did I feel like Doretta was in a hurry when she left just now?" Nolan frowned, wondering, 'And when Doretta arrived, Daddy called her into the study. If it was just a minor issue, they could have talked in the living room, right?’

Chapter 3278

Knowing how perceptive Nolan was, Jared felt somewhat resigned but knew he couldn't tell the truth at this moment. He could only say, "Doretta came because of something else. I have to go to the airport now and leave with Mommy. Well be back soon." "Oh, okay," Nolan agreed, but it didn't seem like Jared had convinced him.

It looked more like he didn't want to waste time, saying, "Then go find Mommy." "Mm." Gently touching Nolan's head, Jared said meaningfully, "Take good care of your sister, and don't leave the sight of adults."

Looking at Jared, Nolan bit his lip and finally nodded. "I know."

Although the specifics of the situation were unclear to him, Nolan could tell that Jared's explanation was an oversimplification. He also grasped that Jared's reference to "adults" wasn't limited to Gloria and Daniel, but included the security personnel stationed near their kindergarten, tasked with their protection.

Nolan was deeply concerned, suspecting something significant had occurred. However, he didn't want his worry to distract Jared, so he offered his support, "Lana and I will be good, Daddy. You should go."

He restrained himself from asking further questions, aware that doing so might reveal his suspicions to Jared. Thus, he chose to maintain the facade of unawareness.

Jared exchanged a significant glance with Nolan, appreciating his son's maturity before leaving with a heart a bit lighter.

Jared suspected Nolan might have picked up on more than he let on.

However, seeing Nolan's composed behavior, Jared felt reassured that Nolan would patiently wait for his and Nicole's return, alleviating any immediate concerns Jared might have had.

Watching Jared leave, Gloria turned to Daniel with a worried expression." What should we do?"

Even though Jared hadn't explained anything, merely leaving Nolan and Lana in their care, she could sense something was amiss. She thought,1 Nicole said she would stay late at the office to finish some work, then she didn't come home at all, and Doretta showed up instead. After a while, Doretta left, and Jared said he had to leave the country...'

Daniel's expression darkened as he said, "We'll take good care of Nolan and Lana. Let's leave the rest to them." He knew they couldn't help much at this moment; ensuring the children had nothing to worry about was their way of assisting.

Gloria looked at Nolan and Lana, then hugged the little ones close, thinking, 'Right, we'll take care of Nolan and Lana, so Jared and Nicole can focus on what they need to do.'

Soon, a helicopter ascended, leaving San Joto. By the time it landed in Mecrounia, daylight was breaking.

Charlie, having received the message, had been waiting for some time.

"Mr. Johnston." As Jared and Doretta disembarked, Charlie approached.

"How is it?" Jared's voice was icy.

"We've sent people to investigate, but there's no news about Mrs. Johnston yet," Charlie responded.

Upon receiving Jared's message, he had ordered his people to monitor Lawrence's base for any activity. However, they hadn't yet located Nicole.

"I've also arranged for our people to search. I believe we'll have results soon," Doretta said with a determined look. "If Nicole told US to come here, she must be here." "Mm, and Lawrence probably doesn't have anywhere else to go," Jared added. After all, Lawrence was cornered with no escape.

Charlie raised a point of concern, touching on something they all worried about, "Mr. Johnston, regarding Nolan and Lana..."

Given the recent events, the safety of Nolan and Lana was at the forefront of their minds. If Lawrence had managed to capture Nicole, it raised legitimate concerns about the children's safety.

Jared responded with unwavering resolve, "Max will look after them." His tone and the look in his eyes conveyed a fierce determination. The protection of Nolan and Lana was paramount, and Jared was committed to ensuring their safety, leaving no room for compromise or second chances.

Chapter 3279

"Maybe we should check into a hotel first. Nicole might try to reach US," Doretta said through clenched teeth.

She was sure Nicole had a plan; otherwise, Nicole wouldn't have willingly gone with Lawrence. Not only did Nicole stop her from revealing herself, but she also told her to send a message directing them to come here- there had to be a reason behind Nicole's actions.

After thinking for a moment, Jared agreed, "Let's go to the hotel for now.”

For now, all they could do was wait. Plus, Jared had some things to take care of.

Soon, they reached the hotel and got settled. They needed to wait for more news, but they couldn't just sit around; they needed a plan of action.

Meanwhile, Lawrence had made sure Nicole was comfortable, but he didn't take her to his main base. Instead, he chose a small fishing village nearby.

The village reminded Nicole of Crescent Island, where they had once lived, but here, it wasn't an isolated island. It was still hard to communicate with the outside world, though.

Lawrence's people were keeping a close eye on Nicole's every move.

Looking outside at the people, Nicole frowned, deciding it was best not to do anything rash for now. Resting might be the smartest choice-building up strength and maybe tricking those outside into lowering their guard.

Nicole lay down to sleep and actually drifted off.

When she woke up, it was already getting dark.

"I can't believe I slept for so long. Taking the helicopter all night yesterday really tired me out," Nicole muttered to herself.

Nicole checked outside and saw the people keeping watch were still there.

Someone noticed her movement and knocked on the door. "Miss, your dinner is ready." "Have it brought in," Nicole said, knowing she needed to eat well to keep her strength up.

Looking at the decent meal brought to her, Nicole shrugged and started eating.

While eating, she kept an eye on the outside, thinking about how to find an opportunity to contact Jared and the others. 'Doretta received my covert signal and didn't show herself, so she must have gone to find Jared by now.

'They should already be in Mecrounia, likely searching for me.

'I didn't expect Lawrence to be so cautious, not taking me to the base but keeping me here.'

As she thought, footsteps approached. Nicole's pupils slightly contractedit was Lawrence.

Putting down her utensils, Nicole looked up at the person who had just entered.

"Is the meal to your liking?" Lawrence asked.

"It's alright," Nicole replied flatly, glancing at Lawrence. "If I keep refusing to give you the answer you want, how long do you plan to keep me here?" "I've already arranged for someone to pick up Nolan

and Lana. I think once they arrive, you'll give me the answer I’m looking for," Lawrence said, smiling lightly.

Nicole clenched her teeth inwardly, worried about Nolan and Lana but showing no sign of it on her face.

"If there's nothing else, I'm tired," she said coldly, effectively dismissing Lawrence.

Lawrence chuckled. "Don't be upset. Weren't we just fine before we returned to San Joto? I believe we can return to how things were before."

Nicole remained silent, cursing internally, 'Return to how things were before? In your dreams!

'We will never be possible, not in the past, not now, and certainly not in the future.’

Chapter 3280

Lawrence knew Nicole would be upset, so he didn't insist she stay. "Alright then, you rest,” he said, getting up to leave.

He understood she needed time, especially since he could easily control her. He was confident she would give in once Nolan and Lana arrived.

As Lawrence walked away, Nicole's expression turned cold. 'Lawrence, you shouldn't have brought Nolan and Lana into this.'

Pretending to sleep until the noises outside stopped, Nicole peeked out and saw the guards. They were still there, but they had nodded off, giving her an opportunity.

After securing the door, Nicole retrieved her hidden watch and sent a message.

****

Meanwhile, Doretta knocked on Jared's door. "Nicole sent a message." "Come in," Jared's voice came from inside the room, prompting Doretta to enter, followed by Charlie.

Jared stood by the window, gazing outside into the night.

Turning at the sound of their entrance, Jared asked Doretta, "Where is she?" "Nicole sent her location but said not to rescue her yet," Doretta replied, looking conflicted after sharing the location.

She asked, "Should we follow Nicole's lead?" She believed Nicole had another plan, hence her instruction not to attempt a rescue just yet.

Jared narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to stay calm. "Well follow her lead."

He was eager to rescue Nicole but understood her instructions must have a reason. Acting impulsively could jeopardize her plan.

"HI arrange for someone to keep watch near Mrs. Johnston's location right now. If Mrs. Johnston is in danger, they'll immediately proceed with a rescue," Charlie said firmly.

He believed that since they had decided to align with Nicole's plan, ensuring her safety from the shadows was the best course of action. This way, they could intervene if absolutely necessary.

Jared glanced at Charlie and cautioned, "Be careful not to expose yourself, so we don't alert the enemy too soon." "Yes, Mr. Johnston," Charlie agreed before leaving to make arrangements.

Doretta's expression grew more serious as she turned to Jared. "Mr.

Johnston, Nicole also emphasized the importance of protecting Nolan and Lana. Lawrence might target them." "They won’t be harmed," Jared stated firmly, his voice unwavering.

He reassured himself that everything had been arranged in San Joto to keep Nolan and Lana safe from Lawrence's men.

"Alright, I'll relay that to Nicole,” Doretta responded. She hesitated before cautiously asking, "Do you want to contact her?"

She knew Jared must be very concerned about Nicole, yet she was puzzled why Nicole hadn't contacted Jared directly but kept in touch with her instead.

"No need," Jared shook his head.

He understood Nicole's intentions. Lawrence would likely be wary of him and monitor his movements. Doretta, however, was a different matter.

Even if Lawrence was aware of Doretta's existence, he might not anticipate her being in Mecrounia, making her actions more discreet.

"Okay, then I'll leave you to it," Doretta said before exiting the room.

Jared was left alone, radiating a chilling resolve.

After Doretta stepped out, Charlie asked, "Is she alright?” "She's safe for now," Doretta replied with a grave expression. "But I still think we should resolve this quickly. The longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes for her." "Did she mention any other plans?” Charlie frowned, concerned.
