Chapter 2299


    Nicole waited for a while but there was no response, so she decided to check on the other tasks on the


    taskbar.


    Suddenly, an unusual ount caught her attention. The Hunters ount seemed to be newly created


    and at a beginner level. However, the techniques used by the user felt strangely familiar to her.


    She furrowed her eyebrows and traced the ount but failed to find its IP address. Even the method


    used to hide the IP address seemed somewhat familiar.


    After some extensive thinking, she vaguely recalled that this method was quite simr to Lawrence’s.


    Lawrence was not well-versed in hacking, but he was curious about it, so Nicole had taught him a few


    things.


    However, heter expressed that he had no talent for it and had given up on learning howto hack.


    That happened a long time ago, so her memory of the event was not very clear. ‘Still, this technique


    does resemble Lawrence’s. But if Lawrence wasn’t interested, why would he log in to the Hunters’


    website?’ she wondered.


    She started to feel conflicted and uncertain. She could not wrap her head around this matter.


    “What are you thinking about?” a chilling and gentle voice sounded in her ear.


    Nicole looked up at Jared and bit her lip. But ultimately, she did not voice her doubts. After all, she was


    not sure of her guess.


    “It’s nothing.” She closed theptop and put it away. “Let’s go to sleep.”


    Jared also put away hisptop and replied, “Okay.”


    He had clearly noticed that Nicole did not look too good, but since she did not want to talk about it, he


    was not going to press her for answers.


    After washing up, the two of themy down to rest.


    Holding the nket, Nicole looked at Jared with a nervous expression, feeling inexplicably conflicted.

    Jared smiled wryly as he knew that she was feeling a bit down. ‘It’s probably because of something she


    saw on the Hunters,’ he thought.


    He did not push her. Instead, he gently kissed her forehead and said, “Good night, and sweet dreams.”


    Nicole bit her lip lightly, feeling a warm sensation in her heart. She knew Jared sensed that she was not


    feeling her best. She appreciated that he was not pushing for her to share her thoughts.


    Turning to the side, she hugged his arm and smiled. “Good night, sweet dreams.”


    Jared lovingly tapped her forehead and teased, “Hurry up and go to sleep, or I can’t guarantee I’ll be


    able to control myself.”


    “Alright, I’m sleeping now!” Nicole immediately closed her eyes tightly.


    Jared smiled and extended his arm to pull Nicole into his embrace, hoping that it could bring her some


    comfort.


    The next day, the grand charity banquet proceeded as scheduled.


    As night fell, the venue lit up brilliantly. The scene bustled with activity and the sound of people


    chatting.


    Each time a car arrived, a burst of camera shutters went off, and the shing lights kept flickering


    around the new arrivals.


    “It’s Mr. and Mrs. Johnston!” someone eximed.


    Sure enough, as the car stopped, Jared and Nicole stepped out.


    Jared wore a well-tailored ck tuxedo, exuding an air of elegance and dominance. Meanwhile, Nicole


    donned a floorlength white evening gown, looking graceful and striking. They walked hand in hand, like


    a beautiful couple straight out of a painting.


    Camera shutters clicked and shlights shed, making the entrance a lively and happening scene.


    As the couple entered the venue, the noisy venue immediately quieted down. Everyone’s gaze was


    fixed on the couple as they walked hand in hand.
