My Wife is a Hacker

"Alright, I'll go after breakfast tomorrow," Gloria decisively stated.

Seeing Gloria's attention diverted, Nicole offered a smile. She couldn't let Gloria worry, so she decided not to share anything with her.

After a while, as it got later, everyone headed upstairs to rest.

In the deep silence of the night, only one villa remained lit, and a car drove up to it. Someone got out of the car and quickly entered the villa.

"Mr. Royce, we've received a message from Mecrounia; they are ready," Ian spoke in a low voice.

Lawrence's eyes narrowed slightly. "Since they're ready, let's begin the operation." "Yes," Ian responded, then hesitated before cautiously adding, "You've decided to move ahead with the plan suddenly. Did you discover something?"

Their plan was still in the preliminary stages, and it was Lawrence who had suddenly decided to move forward, prompting Ian to get Mecrounia to prepare for action sooner than planned.

Lawrence was silent for a moment before replying softly, "I just don't want to wait any longer."

Although it seemed like Jared and Nicole were unaware of anything recently, he felt an indescribable unease.

"Striking unexpectedly will indeed be to our advantage," Ian nodded. "We'll make our move as soon as we find an opportunity." "Go ahead," Lawrence gestured with a wave of his hand, signaling that Ian could leave.

"Yes." Ian nodded, then turned and walked away.

After watching Ian leave, Lawrence's eyes narrowed slightly. He thought to himself, 'Although I currently have the upper hand, many things could change at any moment.’

The recent calmness of Nicole was somewhat unsettling for him. He couldn't pinpoint why, but perhaps it was because he thought the events of the past were secret, only to discover Everett was aware of them. This made him anxious. He pondered, 'I wonder if anyone else knows, or if Nicole might find out someday.'

His gaze, deep and contemplative, shifted toward the window and then seemed to look even further, sinking into deep thought.

The next day was sunny and bright. After breakfast, Nicole and Jared, along with Nolan and Lana, left the Riddle residence.

"Let's go too," Gloria said to Daniel after watching them leave, indicating it was time for them to head to the hospital.

Once they were ready, the two left the Riddle residence and headed toward the hospital.

"Sally is about to be discharged. I wonder if everything is ready at home." "Are we missing anything?" "Do we need to prepare anything else?"

Listening to Gloria's continuous murmur, Daniel couldn't help but say with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Don't worry, Steve has prepared everything. And when we get there, you can still ask. If anything is missing, we can always get it."

Gloria nodded. "Right, once we get there, I must make sure to ask thoroughly."

After dropping off Nolan and Lana, Nicole had arrived at Riddle Corporation.

"Ms. Riddle, I met with Doretta yesterday, and I briefed her on the situation. She and Charlie will be extra vigilant," Patricia reported.

"How did you end up meeting her?" Nicole asked, puzzled. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"Ellar's mom invited me for dinner, and it just so happened that Doretta was there too, so I went," Patricia explained.
