My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared)

Chapter 3262

Doretta cast a glance at Ellar, her expression turning serious. "There's a situation. I thought it best to discuss it in person."

Hearing these words amidst their personal joy seemed to dampen the mood.

"What's going on?" Ellar, noticing the sudden change in Patricia's demeanor, furrowed his brows in concern. 'Why do I get the feeling that they all know something I don't?" "Let's sit down and talk about it," suggested Charlie.

Initially, Charlie hadn't planned on informing Patricia. But considering she was close to Nicole, he thought she might need to be prepared for what was coming, or perhaps it could be beneficial for her to know. Hence, seeing their door open, he had decided to come in with Doretta.

Since Ellar was there, it seemed fitting that he should know as well. Besides, if Patricia and Ellar were together, it would be hard to keep secrets from him. He was bound to find out sooner or later, so there was no point in hiding anything now.

Once everyone was seated, Doretta shared the information she had gathered.

"Lawrence already has forces moving in Mecrounia and might come to San Joto?" Patricia's complexion turned pale, a sense of dread creeping in.1 Lawrence is indeed planning something, just as Nicole suspected. "Why would Lawrence suddenly target Nicole?" Ellar seemed puzzled.

"He's always been ambitious. Previously, Everett provided cover for him, allowing him to bide his time in the shadows. Now, with Everett gone, and because of something that happened in the past..." Doretta briefly explained the situation.

"What?!" Eliar's voice rose in shock and anger at the details.

"Not many people know about this. You need to keep it a secret. Nicole hasn't told everyone because she doesn't want to cause unnecessary worry, " Patricia said, noticing Ellar's expression and cautioning him.

Clenching his fists tightly, Ellar struggled to contain his fury, taking a deep breath before responding, "I understand." "Patricia, be careful too," Doretta cautioned her.

Since Patricia was closely associated with Nicole, Doretta felt she might be at a higher risk.

"I understand. You all take care as well,' Patricia replied, her gaze somber.

"If there's any new information, I'll notify Charlie. We can discuss any new plans then," Doretta said, glancing at the time. "I need to leave now." "I'll walk you out," Charlie said, standing up to accompany Doretta as they both exited.

Ellar let out a sigh and held Patricia's hand. "Once this is over, I'll ask Charlie to assign someone else to follow Nicole. You should stop doing this and come with me."

He knew Patricia wouldn't agree to leave her responsibilities now, so waiting until the ordeal was over was the only option.

Patricia nodded slightly, aware that she couldn't step away at this moment.

The next morning, in Nicole's office at Riddle Corporation, Lulu, with a face full of joy, mentioned, "Sally is being discharged today, right?" "Yes, all her check-up results were good, and she can be discharged and return home today. Steve has arranged everything, and Mom and Emma have gone to the hospital too, to bring Sally and the baby home," Nicole confirmed.

"That's great to hear," Lulu responded, visibly relieved.

There was a knock on the door, and then Patricia entered.
