Chapter 2466
"What happened, Mom?" Nolan asked, noting Nicole's hesitation.
"Someone was trying to break in," Nicole said with a touch of regret. "They were really careful. I almost managed
to trace them, but they slipped away."
Nolan sighed, looking disappointed. "They're pretty sneaky."
"If they didn't get what they wanted this time, they'll definitely try again," Jared added, walking over to the
computer. "They won't back down. They're definitely after something you're getting."
Nicole bit her lip, realizing she was not the only one after the five crests. Since her announcement, others had been

"You know, maybe it's time to set and arm a trap instead of just a firewall," she said.
Nodding at Jared's idea, she added. "Rather than always being on the defensive, let's invite them in."
With renewed focus, Nicole began typing away on the computer, safeguarding crucial information before laying her
digital trap, and once she was done, she turned to
Nolan. "Just use it like you always would, okay?"
"Got it. I'll let you know if we catch anything," Nolan replied, grinning cheekily.
Nicole affectionately ruffled his hair. "Alright, go rest up now. n
"Okay." Nolan said, and took a shower before heading to bed.
After Nolan had been tucked in, Nicole and Jared turned off the lights and left the room.
"Even though we couldn't trace the person, do you have any suspects?" Jared whispered.
Nicole shook her head. "The only thing I can confirm is that they're somewhere in San Joto. Finding a hidden hacker
in such a vast city isn't an easy task."
Hearing that, Jared comforted, Take your time. They'll slip up eventually. If necessary, we can ask Preston and
others like Ryder and Gary for help."
Nicole raised an eyebrow at Jared, and then, she beamed." Good idea."
A hint of amusement flashed in Jared's eyes as he led her back to their room.
Three days later, Nicole arrived at her office as usual.
Soon after, Lulu entered and whispered, "Nicole, I heard Dillion's selling off his assets."

"Selling his assets?" Nicole creased her forehead in puzzlement. 'With the company gone, what other valuable
assets does Dillion have other than that mansion? Could it be...'
Reading Nicole's expression, Lulu shrugged. "You're right. He's selling the mansion."
"Any idea what they're up to?" Nicole wondered. 'Maybe they're planning to leave San Joto?'
"No clue. They've just listed the house for sale, waiting for offers," Lulu replied with a perplexed look on her face.
"It's odd."
"They haven't shown any signs indicating that they'd be leaving San Joto or moving somewhere else?" Nicole
pressed. 'Where would they go after selling the house? What's their plan?'
Lulu paused, trying to remember. "I think they just rented a hotel room."
"A hotel?" Nicole frowned. 'They're selling the house to stay in a hotel? What is Dillion and Karen planning?’
