My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 2904

On an unknown island somewhere abroad, and within a mansion by the beach, Everett's face turned ashen and pale upon receiving the news about everything that had happened in San Joto.

"How did he get himself busted? Aren't you all supposed to be competent enough to do your jobs? Why the hell did you fail?" Everett bellowed, his fury reaching its peak.

"Slow down there. I haven't gotten to the part where you were to blame. His greed was what got us all into this predicament in the first place, and you know what's the cherry on top? He got Vaio busted. Fortunately, Scorpio managed to escape. Otherwise, all of my men would have perished in San Joto," a man in a black half-mask retorted.

"He just wanted to eliminate Nicole, which would have benefited you too. Now you're trying to pin all the blame on him? It's not like you weren't going to do the same!" Everett shot back, his teeth gritted in indignance.

To Everett, those men had clearly failed to use their brains while they were on the mission. He was furious as they had resorted to blaming his father now that everything had gone sideways on account of their own mistakes.

"If I've really decided to pin the blame on him, do you think you would still be here spouting baseless accusations at us? " the man in the mask asked, his voice a cold, terrifying bass.

"You were the ones coveting the Water Crest." Everett snorted, mocking the masked man.

Deep down, however, his arrogance and false bravado was beginning to shrink.
