My Wife is a Hacker

"How did it go, smoothly?" Lulu asked Patricia with a smile, clearly expecting that everything had gone according to plan.

"It's going smoothly so far," Patricia recounted the details before adding, "I came here to double-check if we need to make any changes to our plan."

Nicole’s eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze turning thoughtful. "No need."

At this point, it was all about psychological warfare. Given Everett's suspicions, he was likely to have Doretta keep an eye on Ellar. As long as Doretta relayed information that Everett expected to see, there was no need for them to alter their strategy.

Everything now depended on Ell ar. Doretta would surely report his every move to Everett, who would use this information to decide his next steps.

As long as Ellar acted as predicted, Everett would proceed with his plans, and their opportunity would arise.

"So, what we need to do now is still wait?" Lulu asked, slightly furrowing her brows.

"Yes," Nicole nodded. ‘But this time, the wait won't be long."

She believed that even if they could afford to wait, Everett was becoming impatient.

"Right, Everett seems to be getting restless, especially after the impact of the recent events on him," Patricia said, her expression turning serious as she looked at Nicole. "Ms. Riddle, have there been any updates on Aquila?"

"Right now, we've only been able to track down him alone; whether there are others involved remains unclear, and he's gone into hiding. They must be well-acquainted with our way of doing things," Nicole's expression carried a weight of seriousness.

"Do you mean to say we have a mole on our side?" Lulu's face paled, her expression filled with concern.

Nicole shook her head. "Not likely. It's more that Everett has caught on that Zane has been assisting me."

It wasn't so much that they were familiar with them, but rather, Aquila was well-versed in the methods of Zane's people, probably because they had been under surveillance before.

Nicole knew it was only a matter of time before Everett realized she didn't have such capable people at her disposal and would naturally think of Zane.

So, Zane's people could only surprise them this time. Everett would be on his guard from now on.

"Nicole, what are our chances of success this time?" Lulu worried. If Everett was prepared, he might be even harder to deal with.

"As long as he doesn't change his plans, we will definitely succeed," Nicole stated with conviction.

After all this time, she could not allow failure; Everett must not continue to triumph.

"Ms. Riddle, if there's nothing else, I should get going.” Patricia was somewhat concerned about Ellar; without her, she wasn't sure if he could handle Doretta.

Doretta might seem harmless, but her tactics were formidable. Such an enemy should not be underestimated.

"Go ahead." Nicole, discerning Patricia's thoughts, smiled and nodded her approval.

For some reason, meeting Nicole's gaze made Patricia’s cheeks warm, and she quickly turned and hurried away.

"What's the rush? Doretta isn't going to eat Ellar," Lulu couldn't resist teasing, quickening Patricia's pace even more.

"Ha, she’s obviously worried but always pretends not to care," Lulu laughed, shaking her head.

Nicole's gaze returned to Lulu. "You always have that insatiable gossip spirit." Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I'm just concerned about them," Lulu shrugged, indifferent to others' affairs.

Then, raising an eyebrow, Lulu teased, "You seem so calm. Aren't you afraid that such a capable assistant might belong to someone else in the future?"

"What does it matter? As long as they are happy, that's good enough." Besides, even if Patricia wasn't with Riddle Corporation, she was still part of the Riddle family.
