My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 3234

Chapter 3234

"Perhaps," Ian muttered, his head drooping. He genuinely didn't know how he'd been detected, but it seemed a plausible explanation now.

Lawrence sighed and said, "It seems we need to be more cautious in our future endeavors."

He was well aware that Jared was not an easy adversary, especially with Zane's support. Even though Nicole wasn't as physically formidable as before, her other capabilities remained intact, not to mention her possession of the Fire Crest and Water Crest.

"Sir, about the matter Everett mentioned..." Ian began hesitantly, his unease palpable, "if he were to reveal it..."

The threat Everett held over Lawrence could severely compromise him if made public.

"Eliminate the threat. The dead don't talk," Lawrence stated coldly, his eyes harboring a ruthless glint.

Even though Everett had blackmailed him, Lawrence never intended to spare him. Those who knew more than they should weren't worth keeping alive.

"Understood," Ian responded quietly.

With a final nod to Lawrence, Ian turned and exited the room.

Leaning back against the couch, Lawrence's eyes were shadowed with dark thoughts.

He couldn't fathom how Everett had learned about the past incident, but dwelling on that wasn't the priority. The secrecy of that matter was paramount; its exposure would make his future precarious.

Though his past actions had already hurt Nicole, she still regarded him as her savior, not holding him in complete contempt. However, if the truth were to come out, the only relationship left between them would be that of irreconcilable enemies.
