My Wife is a Hacker

Charlie realized that Doretta had helped him because she was one of Zane's operatives.

"So, if Everett gets caught this time, he'll truly have no way out." With all the evidence in place, Everett could only await the full extent of legal retribution.

"Will Doretta be in any danger?" Charlie couldn't help but ask Zane.

He understood that if he could notice something off about Doretta, Aquila might as well, and if they decided to harm her...

Understanding Charlie's concern, Zane shook his head. "Don't worry, Doretta can handle it. Besides, if the mission fails, I've instructed her to prioritize her own safety." NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Evidence can be gathered again, but lives cannot be carelessly sacrificed.

"Is she capable of handling it?" Preston sounded skeptical, as Doretta appeared quite fragile.

"You'll see in time," Zane said with a hint of a smile. Doretta had merely concealed her skills; it wasn't that she lacked competence.

Seeing Zane's expression, Preston nodded in acknowledgment. "It seems she's quite formidable." "Let's give Charlie some time to rest. We can wait for updates," Nicole suggested, seeing Charlie's complexion grow paler and understanding they shouldn't bother him.

"That's a good idea; he really needs to rest." After making sure a caregiver was arranged, everyone left the hospital room.

"Mr. Johnston, Mrs. Johnston, I'll take you back now," Max whispered gently.

Zane said, "I'm heading out too. I'll let you know if there's any news." "Okay." With that, everyone got into their cars and left the hospital.

Charlie was lying in the hospital bed; his mind drifted to the scene in the underground parking lot, where Doretta got injured when trying to help him. Although she seemed panicked, he was certain that Doretta had intentionally done so.

'So it turns out, Doretta is working for Zane's organization.'

Meanwhile, Aquila, Everett, and Doretta continued to hide in the mountains.

"I need to stop. I can't catch my breath," Doretta gasped.

Aquila gave her a cold look and asked, "Are you stalling?" "What do you mean?" Doretta glared back at Aquila.

"You can't fool me. I know you tipped off Charlie. Without that, he'd be dead, and we wouldn’t be in this mess," Aquila said, his eyes fixed on Doretta.

He had been suspicious of her for a while, and now he was even more convinced something was wrong.

Doretta panicked inside but kept her composure. "I told you, something bit me, and I screamed. I showed you the wound. Why won't you believe me?" "A wound with no evidence of what bit you. How can I trust you?" Aquila's suspicion grew.

"I don't care if you believe me or not!" Doretta huffed, frustrated and unwilling to explain further.

Aquila, seeing her reaction, decided not to argue. He turned to Everett. "Sir, we need to hurry. They're coming."

As Aquila prepared to leave with Everett, Everett said, "Take her with US." "She's a risk. She might be compromised," Aquila warned, trying to persuade Everett to leave Doretta behind.

"Bring her," Everett insisted. Leaving Doretta for the police would be a big problem for him.
