My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2578

Chapter 2578

"Anyway, they really do look a lot like you and Mr. Johnston.” "Alright, you're starting to creep the kids out," June teased her friends after she was done with her makeup and changing.

Soon, Lulu joined them and asked Nicole, "Should we go downstairs now?"

"I think so. The guests are waiting," Nicole replied, preparing to lead everyone downstairs.

The group left the room in high spirits. But then, out of the blue, a woman suddenly barreled toward them and lunged at Lana.

Nicole instinctively pulled Lana back a couple of steps to evade the oncoming woman. However, before she had time to react, the woman had already pounced on Nolan. Nicole rushed over to save Nolan, but it was too late.

"Mommy!" Nolan cried out in panic as he was seized.

The woman then placed a knife in front of his throat.

"Nolan!" Nicole's face blanched at once, but she knew she had to remain calm and composed.

Pushing Lana to Tia, Nicole whispered, "Protect Lana. No matter what happens, don't intervene. You've got to make sure that Lana is safe."

"Miss Nicole, you..." Tia's eyes welled up, but upon sighting Nicole's resolute expression, she could only grit her teeth and give her a firm nod. "Got it. Don't worry."

Even if she herself was in danger, she would do anything to protect Lana. She knew that Nicole would never abandon Nolan in such a situation. She could not help her in any other way, so the least she could do was ensure that Nicole did not have to worry.

Taking a deep breath, Nicole looked at the person who had taken Nolan hostage, her eyes filled with a cold determination. "Raine, you've been hiding for so long just for this moment, haven't you?"

No one had expected Raine to show up. They had even thought she had fled San Joto for good.

"Kind? Hah. She's more vicious than I am." Raine's eyes turned bloodshot as she hysterically declared. "She knew about James's plan a long time ago, but she didn't do anything. She just waited for my downfall and took over DillCorp."

"You have only yourself to blame for your bad judgment.

Even if we had told you back then, what do you think was going to happen? Not only would you not believe us, but you would also think that we were jealous and trying to sabotage your relationship with James. Did you think we had any reason to tell you?" Lulu retorted.

At that time, James was probably the only person Raine trusted, while they were the last people Raine would trust. If they had told her, she would only loathe them more.

Therefore, they had little reason to speak up.

"Raine, you're the one who's not using your brain. Are you

blaming us now for your own lack of judgment? You were stupid back in school, but it's been years, and you have still shown no improvement. Even after you've ended up like this, all you know is still to get back at everyone else." June's expression twisted into a grimace as she glared at Raine.
