Chapter 2103
"Hehe," Steve chuckled. "I heard something has been going on with Damien and Dillion, and you're currently in a terrible fix."
"Something's going on?" Nicole asked in confusion.
Indeed, it was a little coincidental that both of their companies were experiencing issues at the same time.
Steve shrugged, acting as if he was enjoying the scene." That's right. I heard there were sudden fluctuations in their stock prices.
They will suffer significant losses if they can't stabilize the stock prices quickly enough."
An inexplicable feeling crossed Nicole's heart at that instant. It was normal for stock prices to fluctuate in most cases, but the
sudden emergence of abnormal fluctuations was a rare scenario. As such, if the issue was not a direct result of the company's
operational mistakes, it would mean that someone was engaged in sabotaging them with due diligence.
The word 'hacker' suddenly crossed Nicole's mind. She began to wear a complex expression on her face as her mind wandered
straight to Nolan who had demonstrated a rather weird behavior along with Lana in the morning.
"Nicole, what's wrong with you?" Steve asked, noticing she was lost in her thoughts.
Nicole faked a smile after coming back to her senses and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I'm just thinking about something."
"Oh, alright then. Let's eat." Steve gestured for Nicole to start the meal without asking more questions.
After talking about the situation plaguing Damien's and Dillion's companies, Nicole and Steve went on to discuss some of their
own company projects. And once the meal was over, they all went back to the headquarters.
"Nicole, something happened as soon as Raine joined the company. Well, let's see if she still dares to be all cocky next time!"
Lulu curled her lips with a disgusted look on her face.
Nicole raised her eyebrows. She did not remember who Raine was. But judging by how Raine had always been at odds with her,
Nicole was quite certain that she was not a well-mannered person.
Back to the office, Lulu went to work, while Nicole leaned back against her seat, her eyes darkening. The more she thought
about it, the more curious she became. Unable to sit still, Nicole switched her computer on and typed a series of codes in. The
computer interface changed thereafter, becoming something other than a regular work computer.
Nicole quickly typed away on the keyboard, her fingers racing across it, and in a jiffy, she successively entered both Damien's
and Dillion's company systems.
"Nolan!" Nicole exclaimed and shook her head in defeat.
As it turned out, all of this was indeed Nolan's doing. To make matters worse, Lana was also aware of it, and had helped him
cover it up. The two children had really given her a headache. They were actually bold enough to create a mess for others to
deal with.
Meanwhile, Dillion's company was filled with a suffocating miasma, the air surrounding it dark and depressive.
In the manager's office, Raine's face was pale white, and she was glaring at James in utter discontentment. "What on earth is
going on? Why did something like this happen as soon as we joined the company? How am I supposed to stay here from this
point onwards?"
It had taken Raine a lot of effort to convince her father to allow her to join the company and help out. Who would have thought
that such a thing would happen upon her arrival? Raine was worried that she would be implicated.
"Calm down. Don't panic. You're just a small manager who just joined the company. This incident has nothing to do with you.
However, I think you might as well think of something and help the company solve the problem at hand. That way, your dad
would see you in a different light," James said, his words hinting at something implicit.
Still feeling a little depressed, Raine said, "Do you think I don't want to?"
However, the problem was, Raine was incapable of helping the company. She did not even know what the problem was, let
alone how to help.
"You might not know, but someone else does," James whispered. "Don't forget you still have Preston."
"Preston won't show up to help when it comes to company matters," Raine said.
Moreover, if Preston did come over, she would have another rival who would battle her for a chunk of the family inheritance.
