My Wife is a Hacker

Chapter 3016

'Everett Riddle?! What is he doing here?' Nicole thought.

"I can't believe my eyes. How dare he show up? And what did that person call him? Mr. Wright?" Lulu

whispered to Nicole. 'How could Everett just appear out of nowhere?!'

"Let’s focus on the bidding first," Nicole suggested calmly, looking away.

The current situation was unclear, so it was wise to keep a low profile. If Everett had the courage to

show up publicly, he must be ready for anything. Nicole needed to go back and figure out what was

going on first.

Lulu got Nicole's message and replied quietly, "Sure."

The bidding started and unfolded step by step. Nicole and Lulu seemed composed as they placed their

bids, but in reality, they were closely watching Everett, still unsure about the whole situation.

After the bidding, Lulu whispered to Nicole, "Why hasn't he shown up?"

"Let's not dwell on it right now. We should go," Nicole suggested, guiding Lulu toward the car.

Once their car left the venue, Everett emerged slowly, his gaze intense as he watched Nicole's

departing car.

Once Nicole and Lulu were back at Riddle Corporation, Nicole quickly dialed Charlie. "There was a

man named 'Mr.

Wright' at the bidding conference I attended today. Look him up for me."

"Got it." Charlie respectfully agreed after being briefed on the whole situation.

After ending the call, Nicole said to Lulu, "Let's wait for the news."

"I'm pretty sure that was Everett, but why did he change his name and bid for SeaQuartet Holdings?"

Lulu frowned." Fortunately, he didn't win the bid. That would've been more of a hassle."

Clutching the proposal firmly, Lulu said, "And regarding our bid, we should negotiate with the

organizers and sign the contract soon for peace of mind."

Nicole chuckled, shaking her head. "Alright, go ahead."

"Okay," Lulu replied seriously, walking away. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Once Lulu had left, Nicole leaned back in her chair, her expression turning serious. She thought,

'Everett's return is unsettling.

'He dared to show his face here. He must have been prepared. I need a solid plan to deal with him.’

In the afternoon, the sunlight was strong.

After lunch, Nicole and Lulu took a break in the office.

Knock, knock, knock.

Nicole looked at the door and said, 'Come in.'

Charlie walked in, saying, "Mrs. Johnston, I've found something."

"What is it?" Nicole asked, her eyebrows furrowing.

Charlie, standing by the sofa, replied, "It's indeed Everett, but he's posing as Lexter Wright, the rep for

SeaQuartet

Holdings in San Joto. We still can't prove his real identity."

Everett had left San Joto under Lawrence's protection and returned with a solid new identity that no

one could question.

"He must be up to something," Charlie cautioned Nicole.

Nicole's eyes narrowed. "I can imagine."

Changing his identity and returning, he must be up to something more than just business.

"Actually, Mr. Johnston had been trying to track him down. We were close to getting some information.

So, I think he might be feeling cornered and decided to return under a new identity," Charlie explained.

"I see," Nicole responded. "Keep an eye on Everett."

"Yes, Mrs. Johnston," Charlie nodded before leaving the office.

Nicole narrowed her eyes, emitting a chill.

"Heh, Lawrence," she suddenly chuckled softly. 'Everett must be a shield arranged by him. Otherwise,

such a coincidence would be hard to believe.'
