Chapter 2531
My Wife is a Hacker
As they chatted, their conversation grew livelier, until a secretary knocked on the door, breaking.
âCome in,â Nicole called out as she turned to look at the entrance.
âMiss Riddle, hereâs a document from the Legal Department, â the secretary said as she handed a file to Nicole with a grimace on her face.
She could not help but cast a glance at Lulu when she was doing so.
âDoes it have anything to do with my case?â Lulu anxiously asked, understanding what the secretary was trying to convey.
âThe results⦠arenât very favorable,â the secretary replied, her tone soft and hesitant.
Luluâs face turned pale as she turned to look at Nicole. She waited until Nicole was done reading the document, so that the latter could explain to her what was going on.
Nicole flipped the document open, and her eyes narrowed as she read the details.
âThey want $300,000 and a public apology from Lulu!â Nicole yelled.
Not only had they falsely accused Lulu; they were also greedy enough to demand that much from her.
âThe Legal Department suggests that if we want to resolve this quickly, these are their terms,â the secretary explained in a low voice.
Still, the demands from the accusers were ridiculous.
âI wonât agree to that.â Luluâs pale face turned red as she clenched her teeth, feeling visibly upset.
After she was done, Nicole placed the document away and looked at Lulu. âIf thatâs the case, then letâs follow the proper procedures and find conclusive evidence.â
She had initially thought about resolving the matter calmly to avoid putting pressure on Spencer and Lulu before their wedding. However, Nicole did not expect that the siblings would be so disgustingly greedy.
Nicole would have let the siblings off the hook if they turned themselves in and admitted their mistakes, as all she wanted was for Lulu and Spencerâs wedding to go smoothly. But since the siblings were not willing to cooperate, she had decided to handle it through the legal, official route.
âGot it,â the secretary replied and left the room.
Meanwhile, Lulu was sitting there, her face tensed up in a grimace as she thought about the situation.
Noting this Nicole attempted to comfort her by saying,â Donât worry, we will definitely get you through this.â
âThey are clearly trying to humiliate me. They want to ruin our wedding. Urgh! Iâm sure weâll be able to find one eyewitness at least,â Lulu said with determination, her hands clenched and balled up into fists.
âThe Legal Department has already sent a bunch of people out to investigate this. Just give it some time,â Nicole reassured her.
âWhat?! Didnât you say earlier that if they admitted their mistake, we would forgive them?â Lulu asked, surprised that Nicole had made such a decision.
âThat was done in an attempt to resolve things quickly and prevent it from affecting your wedding.
However, we need to be prepared in case they donât cooperate,â Nicole explained.
If they had agreed, Nicole would definitely not escalate, but since they had opted not to, Nicole would see them in court.
