My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311

That probably meant that Riddle Corporation could lose the tender.

“What will happen if we lose?” Gloria did not want to hide things from her daughter, so she said in a whisper, “If we lose, we will lose everything that we have invested in that land.” Of course, that was not all.

Money spent on greasing the wheels, which were not small amounts, would also go down the drain.

So losing the tender meant hollowing out the cash flow and increasing the debts of Riddle Corporation.
Gloria was afraid of putting too much pressure on her daughter, so what she told her was an understatement.

But Nicole could easily hear the worry and nervousness she implied in her words.

After all, this was the biggest investment that Riddle Corporation had bet on in years.
Nicole did not go on asking but looked knowingly at Gloria’s somewhat tired face.

“You have a good rest, Mom.

I will go first.”
“You’re leaving so quick?” Gloria asked eagerly.

“I have to study for my monthly exam, which is coming soon.”
Nicole said with a nod.

Gloria could not argue with that and reluctantly saw Nicole out.

As Nicole waved goodbye at her, Gloria suddenly said, “Why don’t you wait a second? I will ask your brother to send you home.”
Nicole shook her head and looked at the black car in front of her with a faint smile on her face.

“It’s okay, Mom.

Go back inside,” she said.

Gloria watched in surprise as Nicole walked toward the black car that she could not tell what model it was.

She walked back again and brought Gloria into the house before she turned around and left.
Nicole was worried that her mother would catch a cold as Gloria was wearing too little.

She looked nonchalant, opened the rear passenger door, and got it when she saw it was now Max who was behind the wheel.
As Nicole got in the car, Jared’s expression turned gentle.

“How’s your grandfather’s condition?” he asked:
“He is still strong, recovering fast,” she said faintly.

She was accustomed to solving all problems on her own and never
depended on others.
Jared looked at her with dejection in his eyes.
