Ch. 1036..1040: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1036-1040

Chapter 1036

"Okay, I will contact Claus right away."

After Henry was elected acting chairman, the first thing he did was to allocate funds to relieve the pressure on the branch, and Henry and Castor eased up.

"Dad, now that you are the chairman, the Johnston Group is finally in our hands, and we are no longer at Jared's mercy."

Castor was jumping for joy.

"Yeah, after all these years, I finally made it to the top on my own, "Henry said.

"Congratulations, Dad."

"Castor, from now on, I will let you run this branch.Make good use of this opportunity, and we, father and son, join forces.When we have finally taken over the Johnston Group, we can do whatever we want."

Henry was not content with being an acting chairman.He wanted control of the Johnston Group, the real chairman.

"Don't worry, Dad.I will definitely put the branch in order."

"Keep an eye on the hospital side at all times.Don't let your grandfather wake up, do you understand?" Henry reminded him with a serious face.

"Got it.I will send someone to monitor him 24 hours a day and report to you as soon as there is any situation."

Castor had already sent someone over, and now Mr.Johnston Sr"s ward was completely under his surveillance.

"Good.Remember to destroy any trace of the record of the money we have siphoned out.Make sure no one will find out."

This was one of Henry's biggest concerns.

"Got it."

At the villa, Nicole was checking her computer when she received a call from Harvey.

"Nicole, I heard that something happened to Mr.Johnston Sr.is it true?"

Harvey's surprised voice was heard over the phone.

"Is that what you are calling about?" Nicole asked him back.

"Err, no.I just wanted to ask if there was any news from Scott."иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм Harvey had been thinking about the manned flying car project.

"Not yet.How is that project you and Sean are working on?"

"It is going well.Haven't you been to Sean's place lately?"

"No, I haven't been to his place in a long time."

"Where are you? If you are free, let's go over to Sean's place."

Harvey had not seen her for a long time either and wanted to take this opportunity to see her.

"If you want to go, you go alone.I have a call coming in.Talk later.Bye."

Nicole hung up, not giving Harvey time to speak.

"She hung up on me again," Harvey murmured.

"Nicole, where are you? Grandpa's condition has become unstable.Can you come over?"

It was Jared at the other end of the phone.

"Yeah, I'm coming over."

Nicole put down her computer and rushed out of the house.

In the hospital, Mr.Johnston Sr"s condition was not too optimistic, as his vital signs suddenly weakened.The door of the hospital room was pushed open, and Nicole walked in.

"What is wrong with Grandpa?"

"Quickly take a look."

She quickly walked to the hospital bed.The parameter readings on the instrument were dropping, and Mr.Johnston Sr"s life was in danger.

"How could this be?"

Yesterday, after Nicole performed surgery on Mr.Johnston Sr., his vital signs were all stable, and he was supposed to get better today.So she wondered why his condition had deteriorated now.

Chapter 1037

Nicole gave Mr.Johnston Sr.a quick check-up and found no problems anywhere, including the instruments.

At last, her eyes landed on the IV.

"Let me see the infusion record for today." Nicole looked at the doctor.

The doctor immediately handed it to her, and she found the problem at first glance.

"How can you give this medication to the patient? His current condition isn't suitable for this medication.Pull out the needle immediately."

"We have given this medication to many patients after surgery, and there have been no adverse reactions." The doctor questioned Nicole's judgment.

"You are right; many hospitals give this medication to post- operative patients, but this patient's case differs from others.If you use this medication, there will be significant side effects."

Nicole pulled the needle when she saw no one dared to do it.

"You can't do that.This will put the patient's life in danger."

The doctor did not believe what Nicole said and tried to stop her.

"Don't stop her.Just do what she says." Jared spoke up upon hearing what Nicole said.

Nicole glanced at Jared and then quickly wrote a prescription and handed it to the nurse.

"Follow this prescription and give the patient the medication right away."

The nurse looked at Jared for a second and then hurried out to dispense the medication.

Mr.Johnston Sr.weakened even quicker after the needle was pulled.

Nicole did not have time to argue with the doctors.She took out the silver needles she carried with her, found a few crucial points, and started to apply needles.

After a few moments, Mr.Johnston Sr.'s vital signs gradually stabilized, not dropping as fast as earlier.

The doctors at the side had surprised looks on their faces, not expecting Nicole to be so skilled in acupuncture and stabilize Mr.Johnston Sr"s condition with just a few needles.

At this time, the nurse walked in with the prepared medication and administered the IV to Mr.Johnston Sr.Nicole stood by and observed, watching the values on the instruments rise to normal, before pulling out the silver needles.

"First, follow the medication list I just prescribed for a week, after which I will give you a new one."

Nicole looked at the doctors without reproaching them.

After all, they were trained to do their jobs, and it was understandable that they did not understand what Nicole was doing.

The doctors did not dare to refute her again.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмInstead, they nodded and looked at her with admiration.

"Thank you, Nicole." Jared looked at her gratefully.She was the one who had brought his grandfather back from the brink of death again and again.

Nicole looked at him and shook her head.

"Don't mention it.I will come over to visit once a day, so you don't have to worry about it."

The two looked at Mr.Johnston Sr., who was lying in the hospital bed.Grandpa, you must wake up.The board of directors is still waiting for you to preside over it."

"Mr.Johnston, Henry has arrived at the headquarters,"" Max said as he came in.

"Is there something going on in the company?" Nicole saw Max's grave expression and asked.

"Yeah. I have to go to the office to deal with it."

"Go ahead. I will stay here."

Nicole's words were reassuring to Jared.

"Thank you.I will be back when I'm done."

Jared looked into Nicole's eyes and then left with Max.

In the car, Jared asked Max, "Who did Henry come with?"

"Just him."

"Alone? Do you know why he is here?"

"I think he is here to report to his job.People at the company told me that Henry is choosing his office."

Even Max was amused to hear about this.

"Looks like it is not the first day he wants to be the chairman."

Jared looked at the sky with frosty eyes.

When he arrived at the office, Henry had already chosen his own office and was sitting inside, enjoying the joy that belonged to him.

Jared walked right in and looked at the office that had not been cleaned up yet.

"Uncle Henry, are you happy with the office?"

Chapter 1038

Henry heard Jared's voice and turned to him in his swivel chair, looking at him with pride.

"Excellent.The feeling of sitting here is really different.Even the scenery is so breath-taking.Call me Mr.Chairman from now on, Jared.By the way, what are you busy with now?"

"Nothing.I have just recently taken on a new project."

Jared would not tell him about his investment in Martin's Beacon.

"Oh, you don't seem to be doing anything worthwhile.I mean, how come the company is not doing well? But it doesn't matter.Now that I've taken over, there is a very popular project abroad that I think our company should compete for.Of all the people in the company, I think you are the only one who knows the company best.So I will appoint you to represent the company to compete and try to take the project."

Henry was on his first day as the acting chairman and already started to flex his muscles.

The first person he wanted to fix was Jared, and he was going to use this nice -to-have project as a pretext to send Jared away.

"Okay.Send me the information later, Mr.Chairman.Enjoy the view."

Jared shot Henry an icy glance and then left.

"The flight is on the day after tomorrow.I have already booked the ticket for you." Henry said aloud as Jared left.

Back in Jared's own office, Max asked, "Why did you say yes to him just now when you could have said no?"

"It is his first day as the acting chairman.If I don't let him get what he wants in the first round, he will surely make more trouble later on.By then, it will be hard to control him."

Jared knew Henry well, and he would play along as long as things did not affect the company's interest and his deal with Martin.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмThe only thing was that he was worried about Mr.Johnston Sr., who had not yet awakened.He sat in his chair and suddenly thought of Nicole.

"Order two meals and go to the hospital afterward."

"Okay."

In the hospital, Nicole was guarding Mr.Johnston Sr.by the bedside.

Even when the nurse came in to change the medication, Nicole had to check it before allowing the nurse to do so.

Jared pushed open the door to the ward and saw that Nicole had been sitting at the bedside in the same place when he last saw her.

Jared went over to her and asked, "You have been sitting here all along?"

"Yeah.The nurse came in a few times to change the medication, but your grandpa's condition has been stable."

Nicole looked over at Jared.He stroked Nicole's hair and felt sorry for her.

"Why are you being so nice? I feel bad about it."

Nicole shook her head and asked him with a smile instead, "Did you bring me anything to eat?"

"Yeah." Jared asked Max to put the food on the table.

"Wow, that looks good."

Nicole was starving.She picked up the cutlery and dug in without waiting for Jared.

"So good." Nicole smiled contentedly.

"Take it slowly.These are all yours."

Seeing Nicole so hungry, he could not bring himself to eat.

"What are you waiting for? Let's eat together."

Nicole was puzzled when she saw Jared not eating.

"Okay."

Only did Jared eat.

Other than Mr.Johnston Sr., who was lying on the hospital bed, they were the only persons left in the ward.

"Jared, did something happen in the company? You left in such a hurry earlier."

Nicole looked at Jared.

"Nothing big deal.It was Henry who went to the office."

"Henry? What was he doing at the office?"

Nicole looked at him in puzzlement.

"He is the acting chairman now.So he was reporting to the company today."

"When did he become the acting chairman? Isn't your grandpa the chairman?"

Nicole looked at Jared with surprise.The baffled look in her eyes was unmistakable.

"The company has a rule that if the chairman can't carry out his duty, the board of directors will elect an acting chairman," Jared explained to her.

Chapter 1039

"So people just chose him? Didn't they see that you were obviously a better choice?"

Nicole could not understand why this happened.

"There is something going on there that you don't understand when you are not in the workplace."

"From the tone of your voice, it sounds like someone has pulled some gamesmanship."

Nicole was not in the workplace, but she could guess the tricks people used at the workplace.

"These people will really do whatever it takes to get what they want, even sacrificing the interest of the company.How did such a person become a senior executive in the company?"

Nicole was in disbelief.

Jared laughed and continued eating.

"There is something I need to talk to you about."

"What is it?"

"Henry asked me to bid on a project abroad, and the flight is the day after tomorrow.I will need you to look after my grandpa on my behalf while I'm away."

Jared looked at Nicole with pleading eyes.

"Don't worry.I will help you take care of your grandpa.Do whatever you need to do abroad.Grandpa will be in my good hands."

Nicole looked at him as she finally had a chance to share his burden.

Before this, it was she who always needed his help.

"Okay.I will be back soon.If there are any urgent matters, you can call Claus."

"Okay.Don't worry.Everything will be fine."

That morning, Nicole was sending Jared off at the airport.

"The plane will be leaving soon.Do you want to give me a present? "

Jared looked at Nicole.

"A present? I don't have one."

Nicole looked at him awkwardly.

The next second, Jared kissed her on the lips.

"This gift will be enough."

Nicole blushed instantly and looked around in embarrassment.

"It is so embarrassing with all these people here."

"I'm leaving."

Jared walked reluctantly toward the boarding gate, looking back at her every now and then.

Nicole waved to him.

This time, it was Nicole who stood by the window looking at the plane, and Jared tacitly turned on his phone's flashlight, waving at Nicole from the plane.

After seeing Jared off, Nicole headed straight to the hospital.

Mr.Johnston Sr.was still in a coma, so Nicole consulted the doctor about the changes in Mr.Johnston Sr"s condition over the past few days and then went to sit with him in the ward for a while before returning to the sea-view villa.

"Nicole, I see you have been running around often lately.What are you busy with?"

Tia was concerned about Nicole and felt that she had been working a bit too hard lately.

"Haven't you watched the news?"

"The news? You mean the news about Mr.Johnston Sr.having a car accident?"

Tia came to Nicole's side.

"Yeah.Mr.Johnston Sr.was hospitalized, and I have been spending time at the hospital lately."

"And how is Mr.Johnston Sr.doing now?" Tia asked with concern.

"His condition is stable."

"Good to hear.It is more important that he is alright than anything else."

"Absolutely.Everyone knows the logic, but still why do people still sell their lives for power and money? He should have been enjoying his retirement at his age, but such an accident struck him.Life is unpredictable." Nicole lamented.

"What is for lunch?" Nicole looked at Tia.

"Whatever you want to eat.I will make it for you."

Tia looked at Nicole.

"Why are you being so nice? I would like to eat porchetta."

"Got it.Just give me a moment."

Tia went into the kitchen as she was going to cook Nicole's favorite porchetta herself.

Chapter 1040

"Is the porchetta ready?"

Nicole could not wait but went into the kitchen as she had smelled it.

"Yes, it is ready."

Tia served the porchetta in style and brought it to the table.

"It looks very appetizing."

"Come on, try it."

Tia looked at Nicole.

Nicole took a bite of the porchetta and flavors exploded in her mouth.

"It is so good!"

"There would be no surprises if I brought it out earlier."

"I can eat this all day.This porchetta is just too good."

Nicole munched at it.

After the meal, Nicole and Tia were relaxing on the sofa.

"Tia, why don’t we watch a movie?"

"Yeah, I will find one."

Just then, Nicole's phone rang.She picked it up and answered it.

"Hello."

"It has been a long time, Nicole.My R&D team has been set up.When are you coming over to take a look?"

Scott's voice came through the phone.

"Scott, I admire the speed of your execution.I can't believe you have already put together the R&D team so quickly."

Nicole marveled at Scott's speed at doing things.

"Since the decision has been made, there is no reason to delay.The sooner this project can go live, the closer we are to our dream.You still haven't answered me, Nicole.When are you coming over to take a look?"

"Scott, I really want to go over right away, but there are some things I need to do on my end, and I can't get away for a while." Nicole explained.

"What could tie you up so much that you can't get away from? Do you need my help?"

Scott still cared a lot about Nicole, and he was willing to help out with her matters.

"Thanks Scott.I can handle it myself.I will fly over to your side as soon as I'm done here."

Nicole did not need Scott's help, but she was grateful for his kindness.

"Okay, then you get busy.I will get the R&D people started on my end.Call me when you can come over."

Scott was slightly disappointed that Nicole could not come to the opening ceremony of the R&D team.

"Okay."

Nicole hung up the phone.

"You are so busy, Nicole.I think you need an assistant,"

Tia said with a serious look on her face.

"An assistant? Thanks for reminding me.The director told me yesterday that I had shooting this afternoon.What time is it now?"

Nicole suddenly remembered the shooting.

"Two o'clock."

"Argh, I'm late."

Nicole immediately got up and walked outside.

"Drive slowly, Nicole," Tia called out.

But Nicole did not even hear her.She got into her car and sped to the studio.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Despite who Nicole was, she still politely apologized to the director, who looked at her and smiled awkwardly as if not knowing what to say.

"What is wrong?"

Nicole was confused by his strange expression.

"Where is Kelly?"

Nicole looked around and saw no sign of Kelly.

"She is in the dressing room," the director then said.
