My Wife is a Hacker

Jared spoke up, addressing everyone, "You don't need to change your daily routines. Just be more careful when you're out. starting tomorrow, I'll arrange for some bodyguards to ensure your safety."

"I'll take care of it; you have enough going on," Sean added, echoing Jared's thoughts.

After exchanging a look with Sean, Jared agreed, "That sounds like a better plan."

"Okay, then don't worry about US. I'll handle it," Dillon reassured them.

With Everett cornered and his "Lexter Wright" disguise no longer a secret, they all knew he might become desperate.

Dillon believed that the younger family members had their own responsibilities and didn't want to add to their burdens unnecessarily.

"Dad, I'll find someone reliable," Preston promised.

Dillon looked at Preston, concerned, and warned, "Be careful yourself."

He knew Preston was involved in Nicole's situation, which could also put him in danger.

"Got it," Preston said, nodding.

Soon, the family moved past their worries about Everett, understanding that life had to continue. They couldn't let Everett's situation upset their sense of normalcy.

"Alright, it's dinnertime," Benjamin called everyone to the table.

Though he hadn't said much, he was happy with how everyone was handling the situation, especially with the peaceful atmosphere at home.

Once everyone was seated in the dining room and had started eating, Eliar leaned in and spoke quietly, "Mom, I've arranged for Doretta to leave San Joto. This way, she won't be in any danger."

Ellar chose not to reveal the truth to Emma, thinking that since Doretta would not show up in the future, he lied to Emma so she would not ask about her whereabouts later.

Emma didn't ask any more questions; after a moment's thought, she said," That's probably for the best. Once things have settled down, she can decide if she wants to return."

Emma thought that at this point, there really wasn't much else to consider; since Ellar had made arrangements, which was good enough for Doretta.

Ellar breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried about how Doretta's betrayal might affect Emma, but now that the situation seemed to be resolved without needing to reveal the truth, he felt at ease.

They stopped talking about Everett and had a nice dinner together at the manor before everyone went home.

The house was quiet again.

Benjamin sat on the couch, looking thoughtful and distant.

"Dad, don't worry, they'll be fine. It's only Everett," Dillon said, trying to make him feel better. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Benjamin looked at Dillon and let out a sigh. He wasn't exactly worried; he just felt sad.

"Dad, are you sad about Everett?" Karen asked carefully.

"No,” Benjamin sighed again, "I just can't believe someone like him is part of our family."

"Dad, remember, everyone has to own up to what they've done, just like we did. Let's not think about Everett now. Things will get better once it's all sorted," Dillon comforted him.

"Alfred, help me get upstairs," Benjamin said gently, getting up with Alfred's help to go upstairs.

Karen looked at Dillon, worried. ‘You don't think Everett will come here to make trouble, do you?"

"Well, if he does, it might just settle things. He's the one who got me into trouble before," Dillon remembered how Everett had framed him, causing him a lot of problems.

"Please, Dillon, just drop it. I just want everyone to be safe. No need to stir up trouble," Karen advised him.

"I'm not upset anymore. Things have been going well, and Preston's doing great. But I can't get over the fact that Everett poisoned Dad and tried to pin it on me," Dillon said, still upset about the past. If things hadn't cleared up, he could've been in a bad place.
