My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 2318
"We should go down too," Sean said to Nicole calmly.
Nicole shrugged, standing up. "Let's go then."
It was best to leave discreetly after achieving their goals since the trap had already been set. Soon the two went downstairs and
back to the dining table.
"Nicole, is your arm alright?" Gloria asked in concern.
Nicole smirked and comforted her, "No big deal. I applied some ointment. It'll be better after a few days of rest."
Gloria continued to worry about Nicole. She decided to wait until they got home to ask again. She understood Nicole could not
simply accuse Karen with so many people present. It was best to settle down for now.
"Since you're fine, come join us," Mr. Riddle Sr. said while his gaze landed on Nicole's arm.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I'm fine.'' Nicole chuckled, deliberately moving her arms.
"Be careful. Don't move it around," Mr. Riddle Sr. admonished with concern.
Nicole then turned to the crowd, reassuring, "There's no need to worry, guys. Let's eat."
"Right, come on. Eat up." Karen put on a polite smile. With a touch of servility, she added, "I'm just glad you're okay.
Otherwise, I would've blamed myself to death."
"Sorry to have troubled you." Nicole glanced at Karen meaningfully.
Karen's smile faltered for a moment. She inexplicably felt as if Nicole had seen through her.
Something flashed in Nicole's eyes. Then she ignored Karen, planning to get even with her later.
"Mr. Riddle Sr." The house butler came over. With a grim expression, he spoke softly into Mr. Riddle Sr.'s ears, "We have a
break-in in the house. Something's missing in the study."
"What happened?" Mr. Riddle Sr. was livid instantly, thinking,1 Who would've dared to target the Riddle family?'

"I've checked. The study was clearly rummaged through by someone. But it's still unclear what went missing," The house butler
said gravely. The house butler knew the study was filled with important items for Mr. Riddle Sr.
"I'll go to take a look." Mr. Riddle Sr. went upstairs with big strides.
"What's going on?" Although the house butler's voice was low, everyone could sense that something had happened. They were
all quite puzzled at Mr. Riddle Sr.'s sudden rush to go upstairs.
"We should take a look too," Karen inexplicably felt this was something quite crucial for Mr. Riddle Sr., so she wanted to go and
check the situation out.
"Karen, I think we should wait for Dad to come down," Emma suggested softly. Emma felt like this was not the right time to
intervene in the situation. If Mr. Riddle Sr. wanted them to know, they would naturally get hold of the information. On the contrary,
Mr. Riddle Sr. would get displeased if they went over without his consent.
"What if it's important? We should help him out, you know," Karen added, reluctant to give up. She then looked at Dillion, "What
do you think?"
"I'm with Damien," Dillion's gaze darkened. He had a feeling that they had to keep a low profile on this matter, and it would be
better to follow the crowd. If the others were going, they would naturally follow. However, if the others were not going, they would
be the subject of gossip if they went alone.
Karen looked at him. "Damien, Dad looked off. Why don't we go take a look?"
Damien remained silent before saying, "It's better to wait."
Since no one was going to disrupt Mr. Riddle Sr., Karen could only clench her teeth in anger.
