My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2020

"I'm fine," Nicole muttered, shaking her head. "I just didn't think there'd be such a big crowd. I've only interacted with some of the collaboration partners. I didn't even have time to greet their plus-ones."

"There's no need for that. You'll meet the people you need to meet at the end," Jared answered. It was unnecessary to meet unimportant people.

"Who knew that I had so many connections in San Joto? But how many of my enemies showed up today?" Nicole slightly narrowed her brows. No one held any hostility toward her today, not any that she could feel.

His eyes darkening, Jared said solemnly, "Don't dwell in the past. From now onwards, you're the Chairman of Riddle Corporation. Just do things as you please. There are no permanent friends or enemies."

That one enemy who wanted to take Nicole's life was currently not in San Joto. He disappeared from sight after he and Nicole suffered heavy injuries five years ago.

As for the case where Nicole got attacked when she came back, Jared had Janus investigate it. However, they did not find any useful information. It was likely the remnants of power from Nicole's enemy, which had probably depleted over the past five years.

Understanding Jared's meaning, Nicole raised her brows and blurted out, "It seems to me you're trying to say that everyone does not matter. Then why would you prepare so much for me previously?"

Jared could have told her to ignore those who are not important.

"They're indeed unimportant to me. Because in my heart, you're the only one that matters," Jared confessed. Nicole was the only one Jared really cared for. His eyes would only focus on her, ignoring everyone else.

Nicole's mouth twitched. 'Here we go again. That wasn't what I meant.'
