My Wife is a Hacker

"I'll ask Charlie to try, but it's unlikely. At best, he might be able to provide some backup," Nicole said.

Everett was always careful, and it was already hard for Patricia to avoid their surveillance. If Charlie brought people with him, they would probably be found out.

"Having him back them up is still helpful," Lulu said, her eyes shining with a bit of hope, thinking it might reduce some of the danger.

Nicole called Charlie, explained the situation, and told him to meet up with Patricia.

"Let’s hope everything goes smoothly," Lulu prayed, watching Nicole put away her phone.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine," Nicole reassured, trying to comfort everyone, including herself.

Outside the hospital, Ellar said, "Patricia, you need to make sure my mother stays safe, and you have to stay safe too." He held Patricia's hand, his gaze serious.

Biting her lip, Patricia nodded. She replied, "Okay."

After giving Patricia a long stare, Ell ar let go of her hand and walked out of the hospital's main entrance.

They couldn't leave together, as Patricia had to ensure no one noticed her departure.

As she watched Ellar's figure disappear, Patricia's eyes narrowed slightly, her demeanor becoming cold and determined.

She was well aware that Everett, having had Doretta lure away Emma, was ultimately targeting Ellar. Now, Ellar had no choice but to do what Everett wanted.

Everett was cunning and ruthless, finally making a move against Emma.

After watching Ellar's car leave, Patricia noticed another vehicle following it. She sneered, turned, and headed toward the hospital's back door.

Even with someone tailing Ellar, she knew there were still eyes watching their every move here; she couldn't let anyone discover she was following Ellar.

Soon after, Ellar arrived at BayCorp's parking basement and parked his car. He stepped out into the eerily empty space where even his footsteps echoed loudly.

"Everett, I'm here," Ellar called out, standing still.

Moments later, a car drove in and parked opposite Ellar's vehicle.

"Mom," Ellar immediately spotted Emma, who was pushed into the back seat. He hurriedly rushed over.

"Hold on."

The front car door opened, blocking Ellar's path.

Looking at the person who stepped out of the car, Ellar frowned. "Everett, what do you want?" Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"You should know what I want," Everett shrugged. 'I expect you to be as decisive this time as you were before."

Clearly, Everett was determined to take over BayCorp, and this time, he wasn't going to give Ellar any chance since he had Emma in his control; he was set on achieving his goal.

"Fine, whatever you want. I'll give it to you, just release my mom," Ellar agreed instantly, ready to lose everything if it meant securing Emma's

safety.

"Then sign this," Everett tossed a document folder to Ellar.

After catching it, Ellar pulled out the documents and a pen but hesitated at the moment of signing.

"Having second thoughts?" Everett mocked, noticing Ellar's pause.

Ellar frowned. "You're after BayCorp, so why are there Riddle Corporation documents here? Even if I sign them, they won't be legally binding." He wondered why Everett would ask him to sign these, knowing about that fact.

"Whether it has an effect or not is up to Nicole," Everett scoffed, convinced that Nicole would compromise to ensure Ellar's safety.

Realizing Everett's intention, Ellar looked at Emma, his eyes filled with turmoil. 'What should I do? I can give up BayCorp, but Riddle Corporation belongs to Nicole. If I agree to this, won't I be harming her?'
