My Wife is a Hacker

"Your robots don’t work anymore," a voice said, sounding very pleased.

Then, a person came out from behind the crowd, looking pretty proud of himself.

"Carl!" Nicole was shocked to see him. 'It's Carl!' "It's been a while." Carl smiled and waved at Nicole.

Carl had come as soon as Zane told him about the problem. He couldn't just do nothing when Nicole needed help.

He didn't expect them to act so soon, which is why he was a little late. But he was still in time to help. Carl was surprised by Lawrence's robots at first, but luckily, the weapons he brought, which he had been working on for years, stopped the robots. This was a big help to everyone.

"We really need to thank Carl; we would have been in big trouble without him," Zane said, feeling relieved. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Zane had asked Carl for help, hoping it would make them more likely to win, but Carl ended up being very important.

"Thank you," Nicole said with a warm smile. It was nice to see an old friend again.

"No need to thank me. I'm just glad I could help," Carl replied. He would have been upset if he couldn't help.

"Now let's take him back," Doretta said, looking sternly at Lawrence.

Lawrence looked down, knowing he had lost.

"Nicole, I saved you once. Is this how you thank me?" he asked quietly.

"Ms. Riddle has already returned your favor," Patricia said sharply, looking at Lawrence. "We all remember what happened at San Joto airport. It's all because of you."

Lawrence looked up at Nicole, surprised.

He thought, 'So that's why Nicole has been so determined. But how did she find out? And how could she wait so long to act?'

Lawrence laughed softly. "That's so like you, Nicole."

If he had known Nicole knew the truth, he wouldn't have been so careless, leading to his capture.

"Lawrence, you arranged for me to be rescued by Crescent Island's people, right?" Nicole asked coldly.

She had thought a lot during her captivity.

It seemed too coincidental that Lawrence found her on Crescent Island and then told her she had enemies in San Joto, making it unsafe for her to leave. She had seen him as her savior, helping him with the Fire Crest, which was hers.

After learning Lawrence was behind the airport incident, she began to doubt everything.

"Yes, it was me," Lawrence admitted.

"I arranged for a search when I heard about your plane crash. We found you on a raft," he explained, sounding distant. "I don't know why you were the only one there, but I saved you." "When you woke up with no memory, I lied, saying you were saved by islanders and I was your friend. You know what happened after that."

Listening to Lawrence's story, Nicole bit her lip slightly. Even though Lawrence had used her, he did save her life. And during her five years on Crescent Island, he did take care of her, Nolan, and Lana.
