My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 3048

Chapter 3048

Ellar thought to himself, 'Patricia doesn't like it when I show too much concern, Maintaining some distance is wiser.'

He cast a final glance back, carrying the weight of his concern for Patricia. Despite his worries, Ellar recognized the importance of not overstaying his presence. He resolved to find excuses to visit her more frequently in the days ahead.

Later that day, following lunch, Nicole, Lulu, and Patricia had just made their way back to the office.

The sudden ring of Lulu's phone broke the silence. She recognized the caller ID immediately and picked up, asking, "What's the status?

"Really? Okay, got it."

After ending the call, Lulu turned to Nicole with a grave expression and confirmed, "Just as you suspected."

Nicole, with a somber look, suggested, "Let's discuss this in my office," and led the way.

Lulu and Patricia followed her in. Lulu reported immediately, "There's indeed something fishy about that project. The person behind it is Everett." "Everett again?" Patricia's face turned pale as she wondered, 'Why is he targeting Ellar again?' "What's he trying to do?" Nicole pressed Lulu for answers.

Lulu, visibly frustrated, revealed, "Our investigation shows that the company behind the proposal is just a shell company, with Everett orchestrating the whole scheme. He's likely aiming to take down BayCorp." "But what does he gain from BayCorp's downfall?" Patricia was confused.' Could Everett be planning to take over BayCorp himself? That seems farfetched.'

Nicole, with a hint of disdain, speculated, ’He's probably targeting the Riddle Corporation. BayCorp is just the first step."

She knew Everett had been out of the loop in San Joto for too long, underestimating Ellar's progress. 'Had it been Ellarfrom before, Everett might have stood a chance. Unfortunately for him, times have changed.' "So, you're suggesting that if Everett manages to succeed now, he might go after DillCorp, NandoCorp, and eventually target US?" Patricia's concern deepened.

"But..." Patricia hesitated, troubled by the thought of going to Ellar.

Nicole, noting Patricia's hesitation, offered an alternative, "Or you can switch tasks with Lulu if that makes you more comfortable."

Ultimately, it boiled down to just two tasks that required coordination between them.

With a resigned sigh, Patricia conceded, "I'll go now."

She knew deep down that if she proposed swapping tasks with Lulu, Lulu would likely decline. It was merely a professional visit; she reassured herself that she could handle it.

Once Patricia and Lulu had departed, Nicole's expression turned serious. She picked up her phone, dialed Preston's number, and warned, "Everett has begun to act; you need to be cautious as well."
