My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) -
Chapter 1796
The Riddle family had suffered enough in Howde's hands, and were always avoiding confrontations with him. But after this incident, Howde would likely think twice before messing with the Riddles again. Noticing Sean and Steve's excitement, Daniel could not help but join in. "Now that we've crippled Colton's right-hand man, Howdy Corporation is in for a world of pain. I bet Colton must have been working behind Mr. Howde's back. I do think that Mr. Howde won't be keen on working with Colton once he comes to his senses."
Hearing this, Stanley breathed a sigh of relief. "Without Mr. Howde, other companies working with Fisher Group will think twice before taking on Riddle Corporation. This is a huge win for us." Samuel and Spencer, pumped up, praised Nicole. "Nicole, you're incredible!" "Who would've thought the money you treated us with came from scamming Mr. Howde?"
Steve raised an eyebrow. "Hey, wrong choice of words! Scamming? Nicole worked for it, didn't she? He wanted everything, but he never specifically asked for negative info on the Riddle family. So, Nicole didn' break the contract. Mr. Howde was just schmuck. Anyway, enough of that. Let's order our meal! I'm going all out tonight!"
Indeed, they should enjoy as much as they could on their enemy's dime.
"Me too!" Spencer chimed in, as he and Samuel began browsing the menu.
Nicole smiled and told her family members, "Go ahead, everyone. Enjoy a hearty meal tonight."
"Absolutely!" Steve laughed.
The family then proceeded to order their food in high spirits. Soon, Mrs. Wallace Sr. and Tia, who had stepped out earlier, returned to the restaurant, and the room became even merrier as they all enjoyed their meal together.
Over at Damien's home, an eerie silence hung heavily in the air. Miley was sitting beside him, too scared to even breathe. Damien was staring at the TV screen, trembling with rage as he saw the news of Miley suing the Holder Entertainment's production crew.
"Honey, say something. Don't make yourself sick with anger," Miley urged.
In a flash, Damien's fury erupted, and he hurled his glass across the room, shattering it into pieces upon impact. "What do you want me to say? Are you out of your mind? As if I'm not struggling enough already, you've gone ahead and made me an enemy!"
'This foolish woman has sued the Holder Entertainment for a petty sum, stirring up a storm in the process. My position in the company has plummeted, and I've already lost more than half of my clients. Now, she has the nerve to antagonize the Holder family, whose connections still includes a few of my remaining clients. Is she trying to destroy me?' he seethed.
"I... I didn't mean to make us enemies. It's Chloe. She needs the money for her treatment. Our finances are tight, and I was just trying to stand up for her," Miley explained.
"Stand up for what? I have very few clients left, and if they find out that I'm at odds with the Holder family, do you think they'll continue working with me? You... you're unbelievably stupid!" Damien bellowed, unable to believe this.
Without the support of the Rogers family, Miley was nothing but a clueless woman.
Hurt by Damien's harsh words, Miley was no longer able to hold her tears back. "I didn't know about the company's situation, and I didn't know it would turn out like this. How could you say such things to me? I was just trying to help Chloe."
"Chloe, Chloe... Haven't I told you I wouldn't abandon her? Why do you have to meddle in that which you shouldn't? I've already been arranging for treatment with the best doctors! What more do you want?" Damien clenched his fists, struggling to control his temper, fearing he'd lose it and slap Miley across the face.
