My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2627

Chapter 2627

Miley hesitated for a moment, after which she fell silent, despondent and dejected.

"Take me back to my room," Chloe ordered the housekeeper with a glance.

"Of course," the housekeeper replied, before wheeling Chloe away.

Miley turned her gaze to Chloe, feeling a little distressed and helpless. She had hoped for the best for her daughter. Chloe used to shine like a bright star in the night sky.

Everyone admired her, and she was the daughter Miley was most proud of.

But now, her daughter had fallen from grace, and there was nothing Miley could do at all because of the failures of her own family. She even had to get Damien's approval before she could say anything to the Riddle family.

Just as she was lost in thought, Miley suddenly heard Damien's yell, snapping her out of it. "What are you staring at?"

"You're back," Miley said in a soft, timid voice upon noticing Damien.

"Pour some coffee for me," Damien said grumpily, already seated on the sofa.

After getting him his Cup of Joe, Miley carefully asked,"

What's wrong? Are things not going well?"

Though she did not know what Damien was busy with, she was certain that he was occupied with something for the past few days, as he had been out working until late at night. 'He looks upset. Something must've happened, right?'

"Yes, I had to deal with a bunch of snobs," Damien cursed in frustration.

He had never expected that those who used to flatter him would actually start giving him a hard time following his downfall.

He knew that Chloe wanted to reestablish a company, so he did his utmost to not lag behind. For that reason, he had been trying to leverage his connections. However, all they had given him were excuses and refusals.

After thinking about it, Damien got up and walked off once more. "I'm going out again.".

He simply could not stay put. He needed to find someone to help him; someone willing to invest in him or lend him money. Only then could he have some say. Above anything, wanted the family to be under his control.

The sun was setting as Nicole left the headquarters, as Jared waited for her.

Smirking, Nicole approached the car and got in after Jared had opened the door.

"Have you been waiting long?" Nicole leaned against the seat, glancing at Jared.

"I just got here," Jared said with a smile, gently holding Nicole's hand.

"What's making you so happy?" Nicole raised an eyebrow with a coquettish look on her face.

Trying to remain obtuse, Jared uttered, "Guess."
