Chapter 2687
My Wife is a Hacker
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2687-âReally?â Nicole touched her cheeks. âDo you think so?â âNot only have you lost weight, but your complexion also doesnât look healthy either,â June added. âWe noticed that a long time ago.â
However, they figured that Nicole might have been under a ton of pressure as of the recent weeks, and that was why they decided not to ask her about it any further.
âDonât overwork yourself. Now that Iâm back, I can share some of the workload at the company,â Lulu advised.
After giving everyone a good look, Nicole smiled and said,â Donât worry, Iâm fine.â
âDonât go around shouldering everything by yourself. If you ever need us, just tell us. Even though weâre not interested in managing the company, we wonât ignore you if you need help,â Spencer looked at Nicole, his eyes brimming with sympathy.
Nicole smiled, knowing that her siblings and friends truly cared about her. âDonât worry. Iâm really okay, and you all have your own stuff to take care of.â
âWhat the heck does Chloe really want?â Lulu asked Nicole.
âShe probably wants all the assets of the Riddle family and the entirety of Riddle Corporation.â Nicole shrugged.
Having grand ambitions was not a problem. The question was if Chloe was capable enough to pull it off.
âCan she even handle it?â Lulu frowned with doubt written all over her face. âDo you think sheâs acting on Everettâs instructions? This seems more like his style.â
âWeâre investigating it, but the details are still unclear.â Nicole frowned.
âBe careful. I think they are all this together,â Lulu said angrily.
âIs there still no news of Everett?â June murmured. âIt seems that heâs really good at hiding.â
âHeâs definitely with Lawrence now. And guess what? Lawrence has also returned. I think they must be planning something.â Nicoleâs eyes darkened.
âWe donât really know much as of now. Everything is still speculation at this point,â she continued.
âIn any case, he wonât sit still,â Lulu grimaced. âBut how did he get involved with Lawrence?â
âItâs just a matter of mutual interests. People like Everett are not known to do anything that doesnât benefit them directly. Wasnât it the same when he made a deal with Harvey?â June said, her tone heavy with disdain.
âAnyway, keep your wits about you.â Spencer frowned. âAnd be sure to keep your guard up, especially when dealing with Lawrence. He was the one who had taken Everett in, so you canât consider him a friend anymore.â
Even though he had rescued her before, there were still specific boundaries that were inviolable. Since Lawrence had crossed that line in the sand, it was clear that they were now on opposing sides.
Nicole bit her lip and nodded. One could say that her relationship with Lawrence had become antagonistic ever since she reclaimed the Fire Crest.
âItâs getting late. You should all eat up and go home for some shuteye.â Samuel suggested as he looked at Nicole, who seemed tired.
âThatâs right. We have to get up for work tomorrow,â Lulu agreed.
She was planning to get back to work tomorrow.
âHave you had your dinner yet?â Nicole asked Samuel and Spencer.
âOh, we had it at the hospital together with Stanley already,â Spencer replied.
âOkay, you should all go home now. Youâve all traveled a long way, and it must have been tiring.â
They had all been busy for the entire day, and it was time for them to get some proper rest.
As the group left the restaurant, they noticed that Jaredâs car was parked by the curbside.
Surprised, Nicole strode up to the car. âWhy are you here? Have you been waiting for a long time? Why didnât you come in?â
With a smile on his face, Jared extended his hand. âYouâre asking too many questions at once. Get in the car, and Iâll explain.â
Nicole placed her hand on Jaredâs palm, and with a gentle pull from him, she got into the car.
The couple drove off, with Spencer and Samuel following suit with their wives.
