My Wife is a Hacker

Max knew that aside from Aquila and his people, the rest of the Eastern Falcon might be the only group left unwilling to follow Everett. This had significantly weakened Everett's support base.

Jared glanced at Max and asked, "Any news on the two people close to Everett?" "Are you talking about Jerry and Hexton?" Max hesitated for a moment, then added, "No, there hasn't been any word. It's strange, really. Where could they be hiding, and what are they planning?"

A sudden thought seemed to strike Max, his expression changing slightly as he asked, "They couldn't have been the ones who helped Everett escape last night, could they?" Having stayed hidden for so long, maybe that was their plan all along.

"It's unlikely," Jared shook his head. If they had such capabilities, Aquila wouldn't have needed to engage in a prolonged standoff in the mountains with Everett.

After pondering for a moment, Max decisively said, "I'll get in touch with Preston, make sure we find out their whereabouts soon." He understood the importance of not allowing these two to continue assisting Everett; there could be no further complications.

"Be careful," Jared cautioned, stressing the need to avoid alerting them prematurely.

"Understood,” Max responded.

Meanwhile, at Riddle Corporation, Nicole's office was bustling with activity.

Alongside Nicole, Sean and Lulu were also present.

"Any news yet, Nicole?" Lulu asked.

"Let's wait a bit longer," Nicole replied, keeping her answer vague. She then turned to Sean and asked, 'Is there something you needed?" "Just checking on you," Sean said, a hint of concern in his voice. "You look pale." "There's been a lot going on recently, but it should be over soon," Nicole replied, trying to sound reassuring.

"Try to wrap things up quickly," Sean advised, shaking his head, hoping Nicole could rest once everything settled down.

"Don't worry, Sean, in fact, I haven't been doing much, right?" Nicole teased, blinking playfully at Sean, trying to ease his concerns.

Understanding her point, Sean gave Nicole a look and said, "You might not be doing everything, but you're certainly the one worrying the most." He thought to himself how Nicole was obviously Everett's prime target, with all his actions seemingly aimed at pressuring her.

"I have a right to be informed, don't I?" Nicole responded with a smile, implying that even if she wasn't the one making all the decisions, she would still be in the loop, though now there were more decisions to be involved with.

"I know I can't dissuade you, but once this is all over, you should take a break, get married to Jared, and go on a honeymoon," Sean compromised.

"Don't worry, Sean, I'll take care of myself and not give you guys any reason to worry," Nicole reassured him with a smile.

Sean smiled back but didn't respond verbally, knowing that as long as things were unsettled, everyone would naturally be concerned for her.

"Sean, if there's nothing else, you can go ahead with your tasks. I've noted all your concerns," Nicole encouraged him to get back to work.

"Why, tired of my nagging already?” Sean teased affectionately.

"Of course not, but with Steve not around, your workload has increased significantly. So, it's better not to waste time here. Besides, show some consideration for Jane; without you, she ends up handling everything." "Alright, I’ll get back to work and not be a bother here," Sean said with a laugh.

"Hahaha, you're clearly just worried about Jane and looking for excuses," Nicole joked.

"That's right," Lulu chimed in.

"You two..." Sean shook his head, chuckling as he left the office. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

After Sean had gone, Lulu furrowed her brows and asked, "Nicole, are we facing some trouble?"

The fact that Everett had escaped again was indeed very puzzling.
