My Wife is a Hacker

Karen tried to comfort him, "Don't worry, Everett will get what he deserves soon."

Dillon agreed, feeling a bit better. "Yeah, you're right."

"Okay, let's get some sleep."

"Yeah, let's head to bed."

Samuel and spencer returned to the Riddle residence with June and Lulu.

After persuading Daniel and Gloria to head upstairs to rest, Samuel eagerly asked, "Nicole, I didn't ask much back at Grandpa's house, but where exactly is Everett now?"

He had heard from June that Nicole's plan was thorough, so he wondered how Everett managed to escape in the end.

"You guys chat, I'll take Nolan and Lana to bed," Jared said, then walked away with the children, thinking it was getting late and they needed to sleep.

Taken aback, Samuel looked at Nicole and said, "Sorry, I was just too anxious."

"It's okay, it's just their bedtime," Nicole replied, then sighed. "We're still searching for him, but there's no news yet. He has someone very capable with him."

"I figured you all would be here, having a meeting without letting me in," Preston's voice held a touch of annoyance.

"Didn’t say a word back at Grandpa's, and now here you are, showing up to

join the meeting," Samuel teased as Preston approached.

"I didn't want to stress everyone out. Just Nicole reminding them to be safe is fine; we can deal with the details ourselves," Preston said, taking a seat.

It was important to alert the family to be cautious about Everett, but they needed to figure out how to handle the situation themselves.

Nicole looked at Preston and said, "Just say what's on your mind."

"You know me best," Preston replied with a smirk, then continued, "Haven't you guys overlooked someone?"

"Jerry, right? Do you have any news about him?" Nicole's eyes narrowed. She remembered Patricia mentioning that Jerry had fled in a different direction from Everett and had also disappeared.

"Yes, him," Preston affirmed, histone serious. "I've been keeping an eye on him, so I know where he is."

"That's crucial information," the others exclaimed, surprised.

Preston looked pleased. "So, I'm still of some use, right?"

"No one said you weren't useful. Just get to the point," Spencer urged.

"Alright," Preston regained his seriousness and explained, "I found out that Jerry has been in contact with Hexton, and they should be together now. I suspect they're planning something."Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Nicole, with a low and slightly cold tone, speculated, "You mean, they might be trying to divert our attention, buying time for Everett.”

"That's a possibility," Preston nodded. "Hexton has some people under his command, and he's summoned them."

Lulu thought for a moment and then said, "So, all these could be feints, and if we keep a close eye on Jerry, we might find Everett."

"Exactly," Preston agreed, then turned to Nicole, asking, "What do you think? n

"It's possible," Nicole replied, her eyes narrowing in thought. "Aquila saved Everett, but Aquila can't reveal himself, so Jerry might still need to carry out some tasks." By keeping an eye on Jerry, they might be able to find out where Everett was.

"If that's the situation, let's go ahead with that plan. Finding Everett sooner will ease everyone's minds," June said.
