My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 2029
"Daddy, Mommy, remember to pick us up after school." Lana waved to them before walking in with Nona.
"Wow, both of your parents came to drop you off. You're so lucky! Only my mom came with me," Nona said in jealousy and
admiration.
Lana puffed up her chest smugly and responded, "Yeah, they're coming to pick us up later too!"
Seeing this, Nicole was left feeling really amused by Lana's behavior. 'So this is how she is when she gets what she wants. She
just wants to rub it in everyone's face. She's just a little kid, after all.'
"Let's go," Jared said.
And after they had dropped the kids off, they left the place for work.
When they arrived at the headquarters of the Riddle Corporation, Nicole strode into her office and the secretary left after handing
Nicole a file.
Her gaze darkened and she frowned when she looked at the documents.
As expected, Mr. Walker was restless for a reason. He had secretly been in contact with Damien, but Nicole should have thought
about it sooner, nonetheless. Damien was previously the one who was in charge of the company, so it was only natural for him to
have his people around. Though Nicole's uncles each had their own companies to run, they might still deploy some of their
personnel to keep an eye on the headquarters.
During her absence in the past few years, Mr. Walker had been rather well-behaved, but now that she was back, and with the
fact that she had acquired both her grandfather's shares and position as the CEO of the Riddle Corporation had definitely placed
him on edge.
Unfortunately, though Damien had hidden his agendas and intentions well, tucking them where nobody would suspect anything,
he had gotten himself a useless ally.
'It was just too obvious. Were they not expecting me to get all suspicious?' she wondered.
Nicole smiled coldly as she closed the file. Both Damien and Dillion were suspected of harming Mr. Riddle Sr.

Though the doctor was nowhere to be found, Nicole still believed that both her uncles would eventually unveil their true colors,
and now was a good time for her to give them a nudge.
Let's put this Mr. Walker to good use,' she thought.
In the evening.
Nicole and Jared went to the kindergarten to pick their kids up, but it was then that they discovered someone else had taken both
Nolan and Lana.
At the same time, Lawrence was standing by the road with both of the little ones. Nolan was looking up and saying
something to Lawrence. Judging by the smile on his face, he was probably talking about something good that had happened in
the kindergarten on that day.
"Nolan, Lana." Nicole got down from the car and called out to her children as she made her way toward them.
"Mommy!" Lana opened her arms, as though asking for a hug, and ran up to Nicole.
Jared was walking behind Nicole, and after Lana had hugged Nicole, she leaped into Jared's arms at once." Daddy!"
Jared held her up and stared at Lawrence. At that moment, the warm love in his eyes froze over. It was Nolan and Lana's first
day at preschool today, but Lawrence had already picked them up after they were done with their classes. It seemed that he was
pretty well-informed about Nicole and her kids.
Lawrence shrugged when he noted Jared's gaze. "I heard the kids were going to preschool, so I paid them a visit."
"It seems to me that you're not busy with your Genesis Group, Mr. Royce. That explains why you're so free to show up anytime,
eh?" Jared remarked, sounding as though he was warning Lawrence.
Though Lawrence had claimed that he was just Nicole's friend, there were still boundaries that should not be crossed.
He did not have the right to pay this much attention to Nicole. In fact, it could even be argued that he was
monitoring them. If no one was watching Nicole every day, it would be impossible for Lawrence to get such detailed information
about her and the children.

Lawrence knew what Jared was trying to say, but he ignored it anyway. He was adamant about getting his hands on Nicole, and
for that reason, he was not going to back down.
