My Wife is a Hacker

Lulu's expression turned complex as if she had realized something. It must be Everett making his move!

"Let's talk inside," Nicole suggested after glancing at Patricia.

"Yes," Patricia agreed, following Nicole into the office with Lulu close behind.

"Should we go have a look?" Jane quietly asked Sean.

Sean's gaze darkened slightly. "Let's trust Nicole to handle it. We should focus on our tasks."

This way, Nicole wouldn't have to be distracted and could concentrate on her own matters.

"Understood," Jane acknowledged Sean's intent and left with him.

Inside the office.

Patricia reported to Nicole, "Everything was quiet this morning, but during lunch, Everett showed up and took Ellar away."

"He couldn't resist making a move, then," Lulu commented with a grimace.

"What happened next?” Nicole asked in a serious tone.

"I was secretly following them, but I was discovered and had to return here, " Patricia continued.

"You were discovered! Do they have someone that skilled?" Lulu expressed incredulously.

"I've never seen this person before, but they were indeed very capable," Patricia admitted with some frustration. "It was my carelessness."

Nicole reassured Patricia, "If Everett had been intentionally hiding such a person, it would indeed be difficult for US to detect them."

It's likely that Everett brought this person back from San Joto and kept them hidden, which is why they were unaware of their existence.

"Ms. Riddle, what concerns me is..." Patricia bit her lip, her expression turning grim.

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Nicole then said, "You're worried that it's not just one person, but a group."

"Yes," Patricia nodded, the possibility that Everett could hide such a person made her suspect there might not be just one. A single individual like this was able to expose and stop her; if there was a group of such people, it would indeed be troublesome.

Lulu's reaction was one of dawning realization, and she turned pale. "If there really is a group like that, then all our efforts so far might have been in vain."

Capturing a few of Everett's people only to find he had more capable ones was indeed frustrating.

"Let Charlie investigate," Nicole said, her gaze darkening.

Now that someone had shown themselves, there must be a trail to follow.

Whether it was one person or a group, there should be traces left behind.

Importantly, now that Everett had let this person come forward, he might no longer be planning to hide them. Or perhaps, at this point, Everett saw no need to hide them anymore.

"Yes, I'll inform him of the situation," Patricia responded.

"What do we do now?" Lulu worried, "Could Ellar be in danger?" She thought, 'With someone so capable standing with Everett, and Ellar being Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

taken away alone, could they be planning to harm him?'

"Not for the moment," Patricia shook her head. "Currently, Everett doesn't know that the BayCorp's seal he has is fake, so he will definitely threaten Ellar. He won't harm Ellar before achieving his goal."

Considering this, she had returned to report the situation to Nicole.

She believed Ellar would soon return to the company and start an extensive internal investigation about the seal.

This was part of their initial plan; showing desperation and concern would make Everett believe he had succeeded.

Nicole pondered for a moment before saying, "You go back to BayCorp and work with Ellar."

"Okay," Patricia agreed.

"Everett is so cunning, please be very careful," Lulu warned Patricia.

Feeling a touch of warmth, Patricia replied, "We will."

Watching Patricia leave, Lulu sighed. "Everett is indeed too cunning."
