My Wife is a Hacker

Everett looked around the room and chose to sit in a chair, closing his eyes to rest and think.

The next day dawned bright and sunny.

After dropping Nicole off at Riddle Corporation, Jared’s car slowly pulled away.

"Mr. Johnston, we haven't found where Everett is hiding yet. Mrs. Johnston is starting with Jerry, and they already control Hexton," Max updated him.

"Hmm," Jared responded, appreciating the useful details from Preston.

"It's unlikely Everett will appear soon, but he won't just sit back either. And with Aquila with him..." he hinted at the challenge Aquila presented.

"He'll show himself," Jared stated, looking serious and determined.

Max was a bit shocked. "He would risk coming out now?" With the police after him, Zane's people searching, and their own vigilant watch, it seemed unlikely.

"He can't just hide forever," Jared was certain. Everett had been hiding for a long time, but now back in San Joto, he wouldn't want to just wait around. His resources were limited, which meant he'd have to act soon.

"What's our plan?" Max inquired softly.

Jared believed that if Everett was indeed planning something, it could be their chance to catch him.

"Watch Doretta closely," he ordered sharply.

Max understood the strategy and agreed. Everett must have plans for Doretta, or he wouldn't have bothered keeping her around.

At Riddle Corporation, Nicole glanced up at Patricia, her voice tinged with concern. "Go back and rest for now. Everett won't get far."

"I’m worried that if we don't catch him soon, he might still pose a threat to everyone's safety," Patricia replied, her face pale. She had spent the entire night searching for Everett but there was no trace of him, so her anxiety was evident.

"Okay, what you need most now is rest. Look at yourself; even if Everett were right in front of you, what could you possibly do? Don't forget, he has Aquila by his side," Nicole said somewhat resignedly.

She understood Patricia's concern, but she knew that anxiousness alone wouldn't resolve the situation.

"But I..." Patricia tried to protest but was silenced by Nicole's firm look.

"If you don't want to go back to the apartment, then head to the resting room. Right now, your main task is to rest," Nicole insisted, emphasizing the importance of Patricia getting some rest. Given Patricia's physical and mental state, she needed to recuperate to avoid being overwhelmed by the immense pressure.

"Okay," Patricia reluctantly agreed.

After watching Patricia leave, Nicole sighed softly and shook her head. She knew it was essential for Patricia to rest well and regain her energy to tackle upcoming tasks.

In the afternoon, after having lunch with Lulu, Nicole returned to find Patricia had woken up from her nap.

"Perfect timing, we brought you lunch," Lulu said, handing over the takeout meal box to Patricia. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"Thank you," Patricia gratefully accepted the meal box.

Nicole observed Patricia, who seemed much improved after some rest.

"Thanks, I feel much better now," Patricia said, feeling grateful. She hadn't realized how tired she was before, but now that she had a chance to relax, she could feel her mind clearing up.

"Good," Nicole nodded. "There’s still more important work to be done later."

"Yes," Patricia responded.

Lulu smiled and reminded, "Go have your meal." "Alright," Patricia replied, taking her meal box to the resting room.
