My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

That probably meant that Riddle Corporation could lose the tender. “What will happen if we lose?”

Gloria did not want to hide things from her daughter, so she said in a whisper, “If we lose, we will lose

everything that we have invested in that land.” Of course, that was not all. Money spent on greasing the

wheels, which were not small amounts, would also go down the drain. So losing the tender meant

hollowing out the cash flow and increasing the debts of Riddle Corporation.

Gloria was afraid of putting too much pressure on her daughter, so what she told her was an

understatement. But Nicole could easily hear the worry and nervousness she implied in her words.

After all, this was the biggest investment that Riddle Corporation had bet on in years.

Nicole did not go on asking but looked knowingly at Gloria’s somewhat tired face. “You have a good

rest, Mom. I will go first.”

“You’re leaving so quick?” Gloria asked eagerly. “I have to study for my monthly exam, which is coming

soon.”

Nicole said with a nod. Gloria could not argue with that and reluctantly saw Nicole out. As Nicole waved

goodbye at her, Gloria suddenly said, “Why don’t you wait a second? I will ask your brother to send you

problems on her own and never

depended on others.

Jared looked at her with dejection in his eyes. He wondered if it was because they were not close

enough that she did not want to tell him about her problems. But he did not show his emotion on his

face, but just with a hint of a frosty look in his eyes. He casually curled the corner of his lips and looked

at Nicole with a little sense of emptiness and coldness in his eyes. “If you need help, just let me know,”

he said. The light dimmed, and Nicole had not noticed his change of expression. But she still felt his

concern for her and nodded. “I will.””
