My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2942

Lawrence was leisurely sipping his coffee, his attention occasionally drifting back to the computer

screen. The room echoed with the rhythmic tapping of keyboards as the hackers intensely focused on

their task.

Ian, with a hint of anxiety in his voice, broke the silence. "Mr. Royce, why is this taking so long?" He

couldn't help but wonder, 'Is this another dead end? Why does it feel like we’re moving at a snail's

pace?'

"Just hang in there a bit longer," Lawrence replied, a trace of impatience creeping into his tone.

Internally, Lawrence was growing anxious too. 'Why no progress yet? We've got everything we need,'

he thought, puzzled.

Suddenly, a hacker let out a confused grunt.

"What's the issue?" Lawrence asked sharply, his gaze sweeping across the room.

One hacker, looking totally bewildered, said, "It's like the program has been hacked, yet it hasn't. I've

never seen anything like this."

Ian, perplexed, asked, "What does that even mean? It's either hacked or it's not. What's with this

uncertainty?"

"We did everything by the book, following Mr. Royce's data and pattern. But there's no response, and

it's not freezing

either. It's just... bizarre," the hacker tried to explain.

"So, no reaction at all?" Ian responded, frustration mounting. "Looks like we've hit a dead end again!"

"If it had failed, it should've frozen, but that hasn't happened, " the hackers were equally baffled.

Ian urged them, "Then keep digging. Where did we go wrong? rv

The hackers resumed their work, only to report back, disappointed, "Still no luck."

Ian murmured to himself, "What's going wrong here?"

A hacker, shaking his head, said, "In all my years, I've never encountered something like this."

Ian, looking increasingly worried, turned to Lawrence. "Mr. Royce, do you think there's a problem

somewhere else?"

Lawrence, understanding Ian's implication about Nolan and Nicole, replied with a shake of his head, "I

don't think so." He hadn't noticed anything unusual, and Nolan had already finished the game. If there

were any issues, they wouldn’t have cleared it.

Ian was visibly troubled as he mused, "But where exactly did it go wrong?"

Considering that Nolan wasn't the issue, the hackers aiding them shouldn't have faced any problems

either.

Suddenly, Ian lowered his voice, "Could there be someone else involved...?"

Lawrence had a hunch they might be targeted by an unknown adversary. The name Scorpio flashed in

his mind.

But does Scorpio really have that kind of ability?' Lawrence silently questioned himself. After a bit of

thinking, he dismissed the idea, "It shouldn't be Scorpio." He knew if Scorpio had the capability, they

wouldn’t have sought his help with the Water Crest. Scorpio still needed him.

"What's really going on here?" Ian was thoroughly perplexed.

Lawrence, deep in thought and staring at the computer screen, abruptly ordered, "Exit the program,

now!"

The hackers, confused but obedient, quickly followed the command.

Ian, in a concerned whisper, asked, "Mr. Royce, what's wrong?" He tried to figure out the problem.

'Which part went wrong?'

Lawrence, still focused on the screen, suddenly burst into a bitter laugh, "Hahaha... well played,

Nicole!"

He had thought his plan was flawless, but it seemed Nicole had outsmarted him.

Ian was completely clueless, "What does this have to do with Nicole?"This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
