My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 3268

Chapter 3268

When they arrived, Gloria called everyone for dinner. The house was filled with a cozy, family vibe.

Daniel got right to the point and asked Nicole and Jared, "Did you two cause that change in the stock market?"

Jared answered calmly, "I was behind it," keeping his eyes steady.

Daniel paused, then asked more, "But what exactly went on?"

Jared said, "It was just settling some old business," not giving a full answer but suggesting it was about more than it seemed.

Daniel looked puzzled, trying to connect this to the times Lawrence had helped Nicole but now wondering why things seemed different.

"Dad, it's just work-related issues. Don't worry, competition in business is normal," Nicole interjected, offering a simplified explanation to avoid burdening Daniel with the details.

"Let the kids handle their business. With Nicole, Sean, and Steve there, they've got it under control," Gloria gently advised Daniel, suggesting they avoid discussing work at home to let the children relax.

"Yeah, I was at Dad's today, and we talked about it, so I thought I'd ask," Daniel explained, then reassured Nicole, "We won't talk about work here at home." "Mom, Dad, don't worry. We can handle it," Nicole comforted her parents, soothing their concerns.

"Let's enjoy our dinner," Gloria said with a warm smile, steering the conversation away from business matters.

After dinner, Nicole and Jared spent time with Nolan and Lana, playing with them before tucking them into bed. Once the children were asleep, they retreated to their own room.

"How long do you think Lawrence can hold out regarding the stock price?" Nicole looked up to inquire of Jared.

They were pressuring Lawrence to leave San Joto, but clearly, Lawrence was not someone who would give up easily. He would not be willing to leave.
