My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 2524
Harvey leaned against his chair, pondering the possibility of his grandfather possessing an ace in his deck. After all, his
grandfather had managed to survive for all these years.
'Hmm, what a good plan you had in mind, Nicole. Too bad I'm not giving you the chance to use it,' he thought.
As the sun set on the hills, the crowd hurried home from work. Nicole's phone rang right as she and Lulu had sauntered out of
the office.
Seeing that it was Daniel, Nicole got taken aback: her dad would rarely call at this hour.
"Yes, Dad?" Nicole asked after answering the call. "What’s up?"
"Nicole, could you come to the Riddle family manor?" Daniel pleaded with hesitation.
"Is Grandpa alright?" Nicole asked, hearing Daniel's tone.
Sighing, Daniel replied, "It's not your grandfather. You should just come over first."
"Alright," Nicole agreed and hung up.
She then looked at Lulu and informed, "You go ahead and wait for Spencer. I'm heading to the Riddle family manor."
"Sure thing. Should I tell Spencer to get there as well?" Lulu asked with utmost seriousness, sensing that something had gone
wrong.
In response, Nicole declined, "Not at the moment. I'll go find out what's going on first. If anything happens, I'll call him then."
"Okay. You go ahead. We'll go pick the kids up," Lulu said.
"Thanks so much. Bye."
Nicole then got into Jared's car and told Max, "I'll be heading to the Riddle family manor first."
"What happened?" Jared asked, noticing that something was off.
"Dad called and asked me to get there. I think..." Nicole frowned. "Wait, could it be related to Damien?"

After contemplating for a moment, Damien seemed to be the only factor necessitating Nicole's presence at the manor.
"What does he want now?" Jared blurted, his tone cold.
"Seeking help, perhaps?" Nicole frowned. 'But if Damien wanted to seek help, why didn't he do it before the business closed
down? If this isn't a cry for help, what would Damien do back in the Riddle family manor at this time?'
Noticing that Nicole was driving herself up a wall, Jared held her hand in reassurance. "We'll find out when we reach."
"Yeah," Nicole bit her lips, figuring there was no point in overthinking it now.
After a while, Jared and Nicole arrived at the Riddle family manor. When they entered the house and sensed the
palpable tension in the room, they realized that things had taken a complex turn.
Approaching the couch, Nicole saw an unfamiliar lady in a wheelchair. She was slightly older than her with a sickly complexion,
and Nicole figured it was because of her legs.
"This is Chloe, Damien's daughter. There's bad blood between you two, because of what happened to her legs," Jared explained
the situation promptly.
Nicole instantly understood what Jared was saying.
Although she was unsure of the specifics, she deduced that the reason for Chloe's condition as a paraplegic might be related to
her.
"Come on, take a seat," Mr. Riddle Sr. greeted the couple with a weary look.
After sitting down, Nicole asked, "Grandpa, what made you request for our return?"
During the phone call with Daniel, he had only requested for her to make her way to the manor. However, Daniel did not even
make the slightest mention of the situation. Now that Nicole thought about it, it was indeed inconvenient for her father to brief her
over the phone.
