My Wife is a Hacker

Apart from Lawrence, nobody knew about those things, and now it was time to bring them out. He was eager to see how Zane and Jared would react with those in play.

Ian said joyfully, "That's great." Thinking to himself that Lawrence had a card up his sleeve, it's no wonder he was willing to abandon everything at San Joto so readily. If they succeeded this time, it would be easy to reclaim what they lost.

He then asked Lawrence, "Where are those things?" He was curious to see them for himself.

"No hurry, you'll know when it's needed," Lawrence said calmly.

Ian's expression stiffened, and he quickly responded respectfully, "Yes." He had momentarily forgotten his place, carried away by the moment.

"Go and make arrangements. We still need to strengthen the defenses here at the base," Lawrence instructed Ian.

"Yes," Ian replied, immediately turning to leave.

Lawrence's pupils narrowed slightly. 'Jared is searching everywhere for Nicole, and it seems he already knows where I keep her. I can't hide her for much longer.'

With that in mind, he felt there was no need to hide any longer, 'Let's see who the final victor will be.'

Meanwhile, Charlie knocked and entered Jared's hotel room.

"Mr. Johnston, Lawrence indeed took Mrs. Johnston to the base."

This meant the first step of the plan was successful.

"Hmm," Jared said with a calm gaze, "Prepare for the next move."

He knew Nicole had just entered the base and it would be inconvenient for her to act immediately. It was necessary to behave for a couple of days to lower Lawrence's guard. However, they could start making some moves on their end to help Nicole find the secret passage and escape sooner.

"Yes, Mr. Johnston," Charlie responded, then added, "How long it would take for Carl to support US if he were to?" "We haven't heard back yet," Jared's gaze deepened as he spoke, "Proceed with our plan for now."

He felt that even if Carl couldn't arrive in time to provide support, they still needed to carry out what they had planned.

"Alright, I'll get on it," Charlie agreed and left. As he stepped out of the room, he ran into Doretta.

Seeing Charlie seemed about to leave, Doretta asked, "Are you going out?" "Yes, Mr. Johnston wants to arrange the next step of the plan," Charlie answered.

Doretta's eyes widened slightly. "Nicole has successfully made it to the base!" "Yes, but Mr. Johnston speculates she won't be able to take action just yet. We need to do something to divert Lawrence's attention and buy her some time," Charlie explained.

"That makes sense. Nicole just got to the base; she indeed can't act rashly, " Doretta nodded and said, "Then I'll come with you."

With that, Doretta followed Charlie out.

They knew that by creating distractions for Lawrence, he wouldn't have the capacity to focus on Nicole, providing her with the opportunity and space to act.

Soon, the two of them, each leading a group, arrived near Lawrence's base, acting as if they were cautiously gathering information.

After ensuring they were spotted by nearby guards, the two exchanged a pleased look.

This was exactly what they wanted: to let Lawrence know they were there, inducing a sense of crisis. Naturally, Lawrence would try to deal with them, leaving him no spare energy to pay attention to Nicole.

"Hey, at this rate, Nicole should be able to succeed soon," Doretta said with a hint of a smile.
