My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2969

Chapter 2969

'Mr. Royce?" Ian called out, noticing Lawrence lost in thought.

Snapping back to reality, Lawrence said, "Scorpio will give me instructions."

Ian, concerned, asked, "So, Scorpio will force your hand?"

Lawrence scoffed, "Even with new people, Scorpio's weakened after his last failure. He's testing my commitment.

Ian, deep in thought, inquired, "What's your plan?"

'Til follow his lead, for now," Lawrence replied, knowing appearances mattered.

’But if he targets..." Ian began.

Lawrence cut him off, "I'll comply only if Nolan and Lana aren't involved."

He'd protect Nicole if it came to that, seeking both the Crests and her safety.

Ian, understanding Lawrence's position, assured him, "I'll inform you immediately if Scorpio contacts me."

Lawrence just hummed in response, picking up a document from his desk.

Ian left to handle Lawrence's assigned tasks.

That afternoon, under the bright sun, Nicole and Lulu strolled back to Riddle Corporation after their lunch. The restaurant was conveniently close, allowing them to walk and chat.

"Think the method you talked about will work?" Lulu asked, her voice tinged with both hope and worry.

Nicole shook her head thoughtfully, "It's worth a shot."

As they talked, Nicole called Martin.

Martin picked up. "What's up?"

"I'm okay," Nicole smiled. "I can handle these things."

Lulu shrugged. Nicole made it sound easy, but the challenges she faced weren't something everyone could handle with such composure and bravery.

Back at the company, Nicole and Lulu returned to their offices and got busy.

Nicole opened a document and frowned upon seeing its contents.

'This is a BayCorp document. Why was it sent to me?'

Pressing the intercom button, Nicole said, "Come in."

Her secretary quickly entered, "Ms. Riddle."

"What's this about?" Nicole asked, referring to the document.

"It's an urgent document from BayCorp. They said it's important and requires your personal attention," the secretary replied.
