My Wife is a Hacker

Chapter 3291

"Can't believe he thought of that. Such a cunning person, yet he has his foolish moments," Doretta said through gritted teeth. "But Nicole would never agree to it." "Or maybe he has a way to make Nicole agree," Patricia said with a grave expression.

She was sure that if Lawrence had such plans, he must have prepared well. Fortunately, his plan to abduct Nolan and Lana failed, so he must be more cautious now.

"Mr. Johnston, could Ms. Riddle be in danger?" Patricia asked worriedly.

Jared's gaze darkened as he replied, "Not for the time being," though how long this would hold was uncertain.

He knew Lawrence's focus was likely on monitoring his movements, planning how to deal with him, and might not pay attention to Nicole for the moment. As long as Nicole acts quickly and successfully finds the secret passage, they could act at anytime.

"So, we need to buy time now," Patricia said, biting her lip slightly. "When are we planning to act?" "We're waiting for a message from Nicole," Doretta reassured Patricia." You should rest for now. I think we'll have a result in the next few days." "Okay,’ Patricia agreed.

"I'll continue to arrange for people to scout around the base," Charlie said with a solemn expression.

Disturbing Lawrence's focus was still necessary.

i’ll check with Zane to see if there's any reply from Carl and how things are being arranged," Doretta added. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

After speaking, the three of them turned their eyes toward Jared, as if waiting for his orders.

Jared nodded slightly in approval, and the trio turned and left.

Jared's eyes narrowed slightly as he shifted his gaze toward the window, wondering, 'How is Nicole doing now?'

At this moment, in the base, Lawrence was indeed preoccupied with guarding against a potential attack from Jared, thanks to the diversion created by Charlie and Doretta's people. This lapse in surveillance allowed Nicole more freedom to move.

Noticing the absence of guards outside, Nicole quietly left her room.

She was aware of the commotion Charlie and Doretta were causing outside and understood they were drawing Lawrence's attention to assist her.

Now was her opportunity to act while unnoticed.

She thought that if she could successfully find the exit, they could close the net on Lawrence.

As she walked, Nicole suddenly noticed two people acting cautiously, as if scanning their surroundings. Convinced they were unobserved, they relaxed slightly and approached a stone wall.

"What are those two doing?’ Nicole murmured to herself, quietly following them.

She saw the two facing the wall, searching for something. After finding what they were looking for, they each took out an object resembling a token and inserted them into two recesses in the wall.

A crack appeared in the wall, which then slowly slid open.

'Could this be the secret passage?' Nicole guessed, holding her breath so as not to alert the two men.

After the men entered and the light inside turned on, they reemerged after a moment, carrying something round and bulky.
