My Wife is a Hacker

After a while, Max gradually slowed the car down.

Nicole glanced through the rearview mirror, noting that the car that had been following them was no longer in pursuit.

Upon reaching the Riddle residence, Nicole, along with Nolan and Lana, got out of the car first.

Jared instructed Max, "Find out exactly what happened."

"Yes," Max responded respectfully.

After Max left to investigate, Jared went into the house.

Knowing that Jared had sent Max to look into the matter, Nicole didn’t inquire further. Instead, she and Jared took Nolan and Lana upstairs.

The next day dawned bright and sunny.

After dropping Nolan and Lana at the kindergarten, Jared's car drove away.

"Mr. Johnston, Mrs. Johnston, the people following US last night appear to be Lawrence's men," Max reported, frowning slightly.

"Lawrence!" Nicole expressed surprise. 'Why would Lawrence have his people follow US?'

"Do you know what this is about?" Jared's voice carried a hint of coldness.

Max hesitated before replying, "After realizing we noticed them, they left. There haven't been any further actions. Could it be they were checking on Nolan and Lana?"

Max speculated that since Lawrence often sneaked visits to the kindergarten to see Nolan and Lana, maybe he had arranged for someone else to observe, given that Nicole and Jared were now the ones doing the pickups.

"It's unlikely," Nicole dismissed the idea.

She felt if Lawrence merely wanted to check on Nolan and Lana, he wouldn't need to go to such lengths. He could have come by himself, and she wouldn't be able to act against him just for that. After all this time, Lawrence had only been secretly watching the kids without revealing himself or letting them know of his presence.

"So what do you think he's really up to?" Max asked, puzzled.

"Not sure yet, but keep a close eye on him from now on," Nicole advised Max. Although she couldn't discern Lawrence's intentions, it was still wise to be cautious.

"Got it," Max affirmed.

Jared gently grasped Nicole's hand, offering a comforting gesture.

Nicole offered a slight smile at Jared, understanding his reassurance that they would keep Nolan and Lana safe.

Upon arriving at Riddle Corporation, Nicole got out of the car.

After watching Nicole enter the company building, Jared leaned back in his seat, his gaze sharpening as he instructed, "Let's go."

Max started the car and then added, "I'll arrange for someone to keep an eye on Lawrence."

"Find the person from last night," Jared commanded in a low tone.

"But..." Max hesitated, concerned that this might alert Lawrence and potentially spook him.

Thinking this over, Max glanced at Jared through the rearview mirror, meeting his icy stare, and instinctively replied, "Yes, sir."

As Max redirected his gaze, he internally acknowledged that Jared probably didn't mind alerting Lawrence, perhaps even intending to send Lawrence a warning.

Leaning back, Jared looked out the car window, his expression unreadable and frosty.

Meanwhile, once inside her office, Nicole settled down at her desk. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

When Lulu brought in some documents, she noticed Nicole's pale complexion and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"It’s nothing," Nicole shook her head, then looked at Lulu and asked, "Is everything going smoothly on your end?"

"All is well, don't worry," Lulu reassured her.

Good," Nicole nodded, settling into the workday ahead.
