My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2038

"Mr. Walker, you may leave now. I'll get my secretary to give you an office. Do get some rest." Everett came inside and said in a seemingly kind manner.

However, his eyes were completely void of emotions.

"Sure," Mr. Walker said and exited the room.

"What's wrong?" Damien curiously asked, as he could tell that Everett was deliberately driving him away.

"Dad, it's not necessary for him to know our next course of action. After all, he has been kicked out, and might have been turned into a bait to lure us," Everett replied.

His identity had been exposed, yet he still came crawling back to them. It was hard to believe that Nicole would not send someone over to track them, so Everett figured that Mr. Walker had become someone they had to be careful of. They could not trust him anymore.

Upon hearing that, Damien realized what was happening and nodded in agreement. "You're right. We can't let him know about anything important."

They would be the next to get into serious trouble if anything got leaked, and that was the last thing they needed.

"Dad, don't you think that there's something strange with Nicole?" Everett asked softly.

"What do you mean?" Damien asked, a little confused.

To him, Nicole was still as difficult to deal with as before.

"It's hard to explain, but I just feel like...something is not right. Anyway, I'll get someone to look into it." Everett shook his head.

It was just his gut feeling, and he could not tell what exactly was wrong with Nicole.

"Go ahead and do that if you're suspicious of her. It would be in our best interest to find something which we can threaten her with. That way, we won't have to be afraid of her anymore." Damien's eyes flashed with a sinister glint as he spoke.

"I've got it," Everett said, and walked out.

Damien leaned back on his chair with a hint of discontent in his eyes.

However, all he could do was grit his teeth in frustration. 'It's been five years, and yet Nicole has become even more difficult to deal with.'
