My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 2893

Deep down, Nicole knew that letting the bomb go off would be much more ideal than defusing it. This would trick Damien into thinking that his plan had succeeded. The flip side to allowing the blast to occur, however, was that Nicole's family would be in for a shock of their lives.

And since she did not want her family to think that the blast had affected her, she decided to defuse it.

She had less than a minute left on the clock, and so, she had to hurry up. And as expected, with her brain on overdrive, she discovered what she needed to do less than fifteen seconds later.
