Ch. 3281..3285: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 3281-3285

Chapter 3281

Doretta shook her head. "No, but I believe Nicole is looking for an opportunity, or waiting for the right moment to coordinate with US from inside." "Understood," Charlie nodded, thinking that Nicole might only have a preliminary plan, and the specifics would need to be adjusted based on the situation.

"Have you arranged everything on your end?" Doretta casually asked Charlie.

"Yes, I've assigned our most reliable people," Charlie replied.

After giving Charlie a serious look, Doretta cautioned, "Be careful when carrying out the mission. Lawrence may seem like a gentleman, but he's actually ruthless."

She thought about how skillfully Lawrence had dealt with Everett without raising any suspicion, highlighting his capabilities. Moreover, being on his turf in Mecrounia made him even more dangerous and difficult to deal with.

Charlie gave Doretta a thoughtful look. "You be careful too." "Mm," Doretta responded before leaving.

As Charlie watched Doretta walking away, his expression became complex, his gaze lingering until she was out of sight.

The next day in San Joto, Daniel and Gloria dropped Nolan and Lana off at kindergarten.

"Off you go. We'll come to pick you up after school," Gloria instructed.

"Okay," Nolan and Lana obediently replied.

Daniel and Gloria watched as Nolan and Lana entered the kindergarten before they departed.

With all the children inside, the kindergarten's main gate was closed, and the sound of children's voices reciting lessons filled the air.

Suddenly, a silver van pulled up outside the gate, and someone got out to ring the doorbell.

A teacher came out to inquire, "Who are you looking for?" "We received a call saying your Wi-Fi is down. We're here to fix it," the man at the gate responded.

"Is it? I didn't know," the teacher said, looking confused. "Let me check." "We don't need to check. We can just take a look, and if there's no problem, we'll leave," the visitor insisted, noticing the teacher hesitating to open the gate.

"I should check first. If it's not broken, you won't need to bother." "But you've already called for repairs, and we've come all this way. It's better to check."

The standoff continued, with the teacher, Anne Morrison, hesitating to open the gate, insisting on checking first. Anne, being new, was aware of a past incident where children almost got into trouble, which was why the kindergarten's security was very tight.

As Anne went to verify, the visitor grew anxious, considering forcing their way in.

Just as they prepared to take action, someone stopped them, asking," What are you here for?" "To repair the internet," the person responded, eyeing Seth warily, trying to figure out his role.

"Show me your ID," Seth demanded firmly.

The visitor furrowed his brow, probing, "And who are you?" "Security. Please cooperate," Seth improvised an identity.

He suspected something was off with this person, so he came over to question him, also quite sure there were more people inside the vehicle, thinking, 'Do they really need so many people for a repair?'

Moreover, the teacher had mentioned not knowing about any Wi-Fi issue, which raised his suspicions.

He thought it best to be cautious, especially at a time like this, given Nolan and Lana's safety was paramount.

The visitor hesitated for a moment before reluctantly producing an ID.

Chapter 3282

Seth's eyes narrowed slightly as he inspected the ID; it was fake, confirming his suspicion about the visitors. He returned the ID without revealing his realization and subtly signaled toward a hidden spot with his other hand.

They had a team positioned here specifically to ensure Nolan and Lana's safety, determined not to let any potential threat into the kindergarten.

A responding whistle came from the hidden spot upon receiving Seth's signal.

"Now, can I go in?" the visitor asked, visibly growing impatient. The teacher's been gone a while. He knew that if they don't do something soon, they would blow their cover.

Anne came back, yelling, "Don't open the gate! The Wi-Fi is working, and there's something off about these people."

The visitor frowned. He had hoped to sneak in without causing a scene, but now he saw no other option but to use force.

He banged on the gate, frustrated, and told his group, "We'll break in. We have to catch them."

With that, four more people got out of the vehicle, looking threatening and ready to climb over the kindergarten's gate.

But before they could react, another group of people appeared suddenly and overwhelmed them. They were pushed into the same van, which then sped away.

Anne stood there, stunned, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

"Ms. Morrison, are you okay?” Principal Laura Sullivan noticed Anne's distress and approached her.

"Ms. Sullivan, l-l..." Anne struggled to find the words.

Laura remained composed. "It's okay, just take a moment and then get back to your work." "Okay," Anne replied, sounding dazed, before walking away.

Laura glanced toward the gate, having witnessed the events herself, and could guess what had happened. She shook her head and sighed in relief internally, 'Thank goodness Mr. Johnston had arranged for protection.'

Nolan watched everything happen. He was on his way to the bathroom when he saw it all from the hallway.

"I guess Mommy and Daddy are dealing with the bad guys," Nolan whispered. "I hope they're okay.”

Even though he was worried, Nolan knew he had to stay out of trouble. He had to keep himself and Lana safe so he wouldn't add to Jared and Nicole's worries.

He went back to the classroom quietly, not telling Lana about what had happened. He made sure she stayed with him the whole time.

In Mecrounia, Charlie received Seth's report, his face turning grim.

"That bastard really tried to go after Nolan and Lana," Charlie muttered angrily.

"He has kidnapped Nicole. What won't he do?" Doretta said. She was relieved that Nolan and Lana were safe; otherwise, Nicole's situation would be even more difficult.

"Did she send any new instructions?" Charlie asked, his tone growing impatient. He felt they needed to resolve this quickly, as the danger remained.

"No," Doretta shook her head helplessly, guessing Nicole was waiting for the right moment but unsure what that moment was or when they should act.

"Proceed as she requested,” Jared suddenly said sternly.

Charlie and Doretta looked at Jared and firmly responded, "Yes, Mr.

Johnston."

Seeing Jared about to leave, Charlie asked, "Where are you going?" "Don't follow me," Jared left them with three words before departing.

 

Chapter 3283

Charlie had wanted to say something, but he stayed silent. He watched as Jared walked away and disappeared from view.

"What's Mr. Johnston up to?" Doretta asked, puzzled.

"I'm not sure," Charlie replied with a shake of his head. Deep down, he felt like it had to do with Nicole. It made sense since Jared was really worried about her. Inside, he thought, Ì hope this ends soon. Then we won't have to worry all the time.'

Doretta sighed. "Okay, I'll report the updates to Zane too. He's really worried about Nicole." "Did you set everything up for the deployment?" Charlie asked without thinking.

"It's all set, just waiting for Nicole's signal," Doretta replied.

"That's good," Charlie seemed somewhat relieved. However, he knew they couldn't relax and had to stay alert for any changes in the situation.

Jared quietly left the hotel and headed to where Nicole was staying. He managed to bypass the guards and entered the room where Nicole was confined.

"How did you get here!" Nicole was surprised to see Jared, instinctively glancing outside.

"No one saw me," Jared said, pulling Nicole into an embrace the next second. Holding her like this gave him some reassurance.

Nicole hugged him back and whispered, "Sorry for worrying you."

Taking a deep breath, Jared reluctantly let go of Nicole and looked at her with concern. "You shouldn't have taken the risk." "I felt it was a risk worth taking,” Nicole said with a heavy tone. "Though I'm in Lawrence's hands, he's not going to hurt me-at least not yet. But if it were someone else, things might turn out differently.'

Moreover, since Lawrence had made the first move, she felt no need to hold back.

She then asked through clenched teeth, "How are Nolan and Lana?" "They're safe," Jared reassured her. "I've made sure they're protected." "That's a relief," Nicole replied, feeling somewhat reassured. Knowing

Nolan and Lana were safe allowed her to focus on the situation at hand.

"What's your plan?" Jared asked softly, holding Nicole's hand.

"Lawrence has no way out. His company in San Joto can only declare bankruptcy, and this base is his last refuge. And if he loses this base..." Nicole's voice trailed off, a cold determination crossing her eyes.

She believed Lawrence's main force was here. Destroying his base would strip him of everything, leaving him no escape.

Understanding Nicole's intention, Jared frowned. "We could think of other ways. Since he failed to kidnap Nolan and Lana, his attitude toward you might change." "No, it's precisely because he doesn't have Nolan and Lana that I'm his only leverage against you. He won't easily harm me," Nicole confidently stated.

She knew Lawrence used Nolan and Lana to coerce her into surrendering the two Crests. Even without the Crests, she still held value to Lawrence.

Smiling at Jared, Nicole added, "So, as long as you're here, he won't touch me."

She knew Lawrence would constantly monitor Jared's every move, and she was the leverage Lawrence had over Jared.

Realizing her point, Jared frowned. "Your plan sounds good, but if he sees through your intentions, you could be in real danger."

Nicole soothed the furrow in Jared's brow. "Don't worry. If it really gets dangerous, I'll contact Doretta to rescue me."

She believed that even if Lawrence suspected her motives, he wouldn't act against her until the very end, as she remained a valuable asset to him.

 

Chapter 3284

Nicole was aware that Lawrence believed having her would make Jared hesitant, giving him a chance.

Jared seemed about to say more, but Nicole silenced him with a kiss.

Startled for a moment, Jared quickly regained his composure, kissing her deeply.

"I should head back now. If I stay too long, there's a risk I'll get caught, and that could mess up your whole plan," Jared said reluctantly.

"Okay, see you soon," Nicole replied with a smile.

After smoothing her hair, Jared cautioned, "Take care of yourself. Your safety comes first. We can find other ways to handle everything else." "Don't worry," Nicole assured him.

Watching Jared leave, Nicole smiled. She hadn't expected Jared to risk visiting her, but thankfully, he hadn't been detected, allowing her plan to proceed.

The guards outside were still there, but at this hour, they had fallen asleep.

Restless, Nicole moved to the window, gazing into the night, her expression gradually darkening.

Meanwhile, Jared returned to the hotel.

"Mr. Johnston." Charlie hurried over, concern evident as he checked on Jared's condition.

Seeing Jared unharmed, Charlie felt somewhat relieved.

"Let's go back and talk," Jared suggested, leading the way to his room.

Once in the room, Jared instructed Charlie, "Arrange for someone to search for Nicole, but don't be overly cautious."

Understanding the urgency, Charlie nodded. "You must have seen Mrs.

Johnston." "She's safe for now, but we can't delay," Jared said, his determination clear. Committed to aligning with Nicole's plan, he was prepared to move quickly.

"I understand." Charlie grasped Jared's intention and agreed respectfully.

"Go arrange it," Jared said, giving Charlie a nod.

"Okay." Charlie turned and left to organize the task.

Jared stood by the window, gazing out into the night, his expression growing solemn.

The next day, at Riddle Corporation in San Joto, Lulu arrived at the office feeling dejected.

With no news from Nicole for two days and Jared having left San Joto, she knew something must have happened. 'But why did Nicole leave without saying anything? Could she be in danger? It's really worrying,' she thought.

"We succeeded," Patricia entered the office with some excitement.

Lost in her thoughts, Lulu startled at Patricia's sudden appearance, blurting out, "What did we do? Did you find Nicole?" "It's our plan that succeeded," Patricia explained. "Lawrence has declared bankruptcy. Also, the project you were handling, the Johnston Group's acquisition of MierMare Group, went through, and your proposal was approved."

Everything here was proceeding smoothly according to Jared and Nicole's plan.

Lulu blinked, slowly realizing, "So, we've successfully completed our mission."

She felt relieved that she had accomplished the task Nicole entrusted to her. While she couldn't help much with other matters, this was something she could do.

Chapter 3285

"Yes, our part here is finished," Patricia said, her expression turning somber.

She knew their business in San Joto was concluded, but Lawrence had cunningly fled San Joto before everything was fully settled, even taking Nicole with him.

"What about Nicole?" Lulu asked with a hint of tension, not knowing Nicole had run into trouble. She observed Patricia's demeanor, suspecting Patricia knew something.

Patricia's face paled slightly. She hesitated before responding, "Ms. Riddle might not return for a few days."

These were just her guesses; she wasn't sure of the specifics. If things had gone smoothly here, she hoped Jared and Nicole's situation would also be positive.

Seeing Patricia's reluctance to share more about Nicole's situation, Lulu frowned. "How many days are we talking about?" She wanted to know whether it would be three days, five, or seven.

It seemed Patricia wasn't certain either.

Patricia sighed. "I really don't know how long it'll take. It depends on whether things go smoothly or not." "Is Nicole in danger then?" Lulu couldn't help but worry.

"There shouldn't be any immediate danger," Patricia said, biting her lip. She at least hadn't heard any news about Nicole being in danger.

Lulu's face turned pale instantly. "Immediate danger! Does that mean she might still be in danger?"

She had suspected something urgent had happened when Nicole suddenly left San Joto, even Jared had left, and she couldn't contact Nicole at all. She could only occasionally get some news from Charlie through Patricia, but it wasn't always possible to get information.

"With Mr. Johnston there, Ms. Riddle should be safe," Patricia said, unsure if she was comforting Lulu or herself.

"That damned Lawrence," Lulu clenched her teeth in anger. She thought that if it weren't Lawrence, Nicole wouldn't have been put in danger.

"I believe it won't be long before we see results. Mr. Johnston and Ms. Riddle will definitely return safely," Patricia said meaningfully, emphasizing the need to keep believing.

"You should keep in touch with your brother frequently to stay updated on Nicole's situation," Lulu sighed, knowing she could only rest easy once she was assured of Nicole's safety.

"I'll do my best," Patricia promised, aware that Charlie might not always reply promptly and worried that messaging too often might interfere with their operations.

Lulu looked at Patricia, her worry deepening.

Now that things in San Joto had been successfully wrapped up, she fervently hoped that Nicole and Jared would conclude their matters smoothly and return safely.

In the hotel in Mecrounia, Charlie knocked before entering Jared's room.

"Mr. Johnston, Lawrence's company has declared bankruptcy, and all his people in San Joto have evacuated. It seems he's ready to cut ties with San Joto completely," Charlie reported.

"Mm," Jared responded coolly, aware that it was about time for Lawrence's company to declare bankruptcy given how long he had held out.

"Mr. Johnston, we're stepping up our efforts, and it seems Lawrence is reacting," Charlie said with a slight heaviness in his voice. "Is Mrs.

Johnston prepared?" He believed that as long as Nicole was ready, they could act at any moment.

"Wait a bit longer; she's likely trying to find a way into Lawrence's base," Jared said. The moment Nicole entered the base would signal the start of their action.

After a moment of thought, Charlie asked, "Do we have enough people to successfully complete the mission?" He was concerned that targeting Lawrence's stronghold might be overly ambitious given their limited manpower.
