My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2317

Chapter 2317

Karen knew Gloria was blaming her and said displeasingly, "I was just being nice. It's not like I did it on purpose."

"Karen, no one said you did. But if you can't even hold a spoon steadily, why don't you let someone else do the job?" Daniel was irritated, annoyed that Karen could still act so righteous after she had burned someone.

"I'll do it." Emma came to the rescue when she noticed the unsettled mood of the room. Everyone was together having a meal, and it would not look good if they argued in front of Mr. Riddle Sr.

Emma began to serve the soup to everyone while the others calmed down. However, the atmosphere in the room was even more eerie.

Gloria, face pale, worried about Nicole as Daniel softly comforted her. Deep down, Karen was quite satisfied with the situation now, but she did not dare to show it and pretended to look aggrieved. In fact, she had done it on purpose.

Just as Nicole was about to refill her bowl, Karen had let go of her spoon to let it fall into the soup bowl. The splashing soup naturally landed on Nicole's arm. Even if the burning splash did not scar, it would definitely hurt a bit.

So Nicole and Sean went into a guest home upstairs.

"How is it? Is it bad?" Sean asked.

Nicole let down the hand that she had been holding over her arm and said, "I'm fine."

Sean glanced and realized that Nicole had no red marks on her. He was slightly surprised. "It didn't burn you!"

"She wishes it was that easy to burn me," Nicole sneered.

"You're really something..." Sean chuckled, seeing through Nicole's intentions. At first, he was worried for her, but he never expected it to be all a trick. Nicole was not scalded at all.

"I'll help." Sean sat down. It was for show, so they should at least make it look realistic.

Once Sean finished wrapping her arm in gauze, Nicole checked the time and said, "It should be about time."

"I'll go and check." Sean stood up and gently pushed the room door a little. They had chosen this room for a purpose. It had a view of the study room food, but the study could not see this side clearly.

At this moment, Sean saw two people sneakily come to the study room's door. One of them entered the room, while the other stood by the entrance, seemingly keeping watch.

A hint of darkness flickered in Sean's eyes as he quietly watched them. Sean was caught off guard when the person who went in soon came out with something concealed in a bag in his cloth.

They did it," Sean said and closed the room door. Hearing the footsteps outside growing fainter and then eventually disappearing, they knew the two people had left.
