Ch. 1161..1165: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1161-1165

Chapter 1161

Chloe would talk to Harvey from time to time after that, though he was not truly interesting in having a conversation with him.She just wanted to use the interaction as a vehicle with which to insult Nicole every now and again.

In spite of the fact that it was a decent movie, Chloe's sudden appearance had rendered the entire experience unenjoyable.

While Chloe was still talking with Harvey, Nicole's fury peaked, prompting her to glare at Harvey and say, "Excuse me, I'm leaving.

"Leaving? The movie hasn't ended yet."

Harvey looked at Nicole with his brow raised.

"Move!"

Nicole yelled.

Harvey quickly made way for her, whereupon she walked out of the hall.

When Kelly saw that Nicole was leaving, she followed.

Seeing this, Harvey stood up and left as well, as there was no reason for him to stay anymore.

Chloe rolled her eyes at them and shouted, "Gosh, they're just so disruptive!"

The people around Chloe looked at her in the exact same way she had looked at the trio.

They were frustrated at her, but due to the fact that she was a lone woman, they decided not to reprimand her.

"Nicole, aren't you going to finish the movie?"

Harvey ran out and asked Nicole.

"Didn't you see that smug look on Chloe's face? With her around, I won't be able to watch squat!"

Nicole vented at Harvey.

"How did she even get a seat behind us? It's just weird!"

Harvey sighed, unhappy with Chloe's attitude toward Nicole.

Harvey felt guilty, as he initially wanted to spend some quality time with Nicole.

But as Chloe had caused a scene, it ruined everything for all three of them.

"What's so weird about it? She definitely came in with you!"

Nicole glared at Harvey, upset.

"Please, I've got nothing to do with this.She was still in the restaurant when I walked out, and I didn't know I was being followed while I was on my way here.I've got no idea how she even followed me here," Harvey said, refusing to admit that he had a part to play in how things turned out.

"She doesn't know anyone here other than you," Nicole fumed.

"Maybe she just knew that we were going to watch this particular movie and found her way in.That's possible, you know,"

Kelly said, attempting to defend Harvey.

Nicole turned to Kelly.

"Why are you defending him? Who's assistant are you?"

"Yours, of course."

Kelly quickly went up and stood next to Nicole.

"That's what I thought.Anyway, I'm not in the mood anymore, so let's head back and let her watch the movie alone."

Nicole took one last look at the hall before turning around and leaving.

But as soon as she had reached the entrance, her phone rang, prompting her to pick it up and answer the call.

"What's up, Ike?"

"Miss Riddle, there's a tech exhibition tomorrow.I wish to attend it with you.Will you be available?" Ike asked.

"When?" Nicole asked.

"Tomorrow morning."

"I think I'll be able to make it.Just send me the location later."

She then thought, ‘There's nothing here for me to do anyway, so going to the exhibition isn't a bad idea, after all"

"That place isn't easy to find.Let's just set a time and I'll pick you up tomorrow," Ike suggested.

"Sure, what time does the exhibition start?" Nicole asked.

"Around 9 am."

"Pick me up at 8, then," Nicole said him after having planned her time roughly.

"Alright, see you tomorrow," he said.

"Bye."

Nicole hung up right after.

"Why are you all looking at me like this?" Nicole asked, startled by the curious look on Harvey and Kelly's faces.

Chapter 1162

"What's going on? Did Ike ask you out?"

Harvey looked at Nicole with his forehead creased.

"Yeah, Ike invited me to an exhibition with him," she replied.

"Let's go back to the hotel now."

"What exhibition, and are you the only one invited?"

Harvey's expression darkened.

'Did Ike really ask Nicole out to an exhibition? Doesn't this mean that he's trying to woo her?"

"A tech exhibition.He probably invited me alone, since he didn't mention anyone else in the call," Nicole said, holding back the fact that she was surprised too.

"The only thing Ike thinks about are beautiful women!"

Harvey purposely grumbled next to Nicole.

"Do you want to go as well, Harvey?" Nicole asked and looked at him.

"So what if I do? No one invited me anyway."

Harvey said, his eyes downcast as he glanced over at Nicole.

‘He's waiting for me to invite him"

Nicole knew what he was thinking, so she smirked and asked, "What if I invited you?"

"If you invite me, I think I might be able to come with you," Harvey said, still putting on a show.

"Really?"

Nicole looked at him with an arched brow.

"Yeah." Harvey said, as he even sounded serious now.

"In your dreams!"

She laughed.

"I'd never want to bring you along.Harvey did not expect Nicole to fool him, but the moment he realized it, Nicole was already several yards away from him.

"Nice job messing with my feelings!"

Harvey chased after her, prompting Kelly to chase after him in turn.

The trio hurried off to the hotel as Harvey pointed at Nicole while panting.

"How are you so damn fast? Stop running.I can't catch up anymore."

"You're such a wimp.We've just covered a short distance and you're already gasping for air?"

Nicole stopped and turned back to laugh at him.

"How dare you laugh at me?! When I catch up to you, I won't let you off the hook that easily."

Harvey caught his breath and continued to run after Nicole.

"Bring it on! You might be able to catch up to me if you're a tad bit faster!"

Nicole continued to tease.

"You're way too smug for your own good, Nicole!" he said, but no matter how fast Harvey ran, there was always a considerable distance between him and Nicole.

"I really can't do it anymore.Wait up.Kelly."

Harvey turned back to talk to Kelly, but there was no one in sight.

"Where's Kelly?"

Harvey looked at Nicole, dumbfounded.

"She's even slower, so she's probably still walking over."

"I'm going to catch my breath and wait for her."

"I'll wait with you."

Nicole sat down and took a rest.

The duo proceeded to wait for a long time, but Kelly was still nowhere to be seen.

Harvey looked at Nicole, as he was beginning to worry.

"Why is Kelly not here yet? She wouldn't be in danger, would she?"

"Let's turn back and look for her."

Harvey and Nicole then went back to the movie theatre.

"Weird, I still can't see any traces of Kelly." Harvey said, his gut tingling.

"Give her a call," Nicole ordered, as she was still rather calm.

Harvey dialled Kelly's number, and after some time, Nicole asked, "So? Did the call get through?"

"Nobody answered."

Harvey was confused and looked at Nicole.

"Just keep calling, and look for her in the theatre.I'll search around this area."

Nicole then left to search for her.

Harvey did as he was told and kept calling Kelly.He immediately made his way to the theatre with his phone in hand.

It was then that Nicole spotted the car that was passing by.

‘Where is Kelly? She has not been kidnapped, has she?' ‘Is the Raven here?' she thought, as her eyes widened.

 

Chapter 1163

Nicole observed her surroundings carefully.

If there was an adversary in the area, she might very well be exposed to their line of sight as well.

At that exact moment, Harvey called her.

"Nicole, I found Kelly." "Where is she?" Nicole asked sharply.

"In a restaurant near the movie theatre," Harvey said, sounding relaxed.

Nicole was relieved and said, "Stay where you are.

I'll come over to you." "Okay, we'll wait for you here." Harvey gave Kelly a look of resignation after he ended the call.

“Why didn't you answer my call moments ago?" Harvey glared at Kelly, though he was actually concerned.

Kelly shrunk as she looked at him.

"There are way too many people here, so I didn't hear the ringtone." Harvey shook his head and issued a sigh.

It was then that Nicole walked in.

She immediately understood what had happened when she saw that Kelly was safe and was holding a bag of snacks.

"You went off to buy some snacks?" "Yeah, I noticed that you didn't eat much back in the barbeque restaurant, so I came over to buy you something when I saw that they were selling some snacks." Kelly explained, so afraid that she hung her head low without looking at Nicole as she spoke.

Initially, Nicole was rather ticked off at Kelly.

But after hearing her explanation, Nicole smiled.

"What can I say? Thanks for buying us snacks, but you really got us worried." "I'm sorry about that." Nicole shook her head and explained, "You don't have to apologize to us, Kelly.

I just want to tell you can't just walk around like you do back in our home country.

We wouldn't know what would happen if you bumped into the wrong people.

That is why you must remember, try not to walk alone next time.

Just tell us where you're going and we'll come with you, okay?" “All right, I'll keep it in mind." Kelly looked at Nicole with a grimace.

“Okay, thank God you're safe.

Let's head back now," Harvey said, attempting to soothe the both of them.

"Let's go." Nicole patted Kelly's shoulder.

When they had returned to the hotel, the trio gathered in Nicole's room.

After browsing through the list, they found a simple movie and enjoyed themselves as they ate the snacks.

"Nicole, consider this recompense for what you had experienced earlier," Harvey said, bringing up something that Nicole had almost forgotten.

"You're such a party pooper." Nicole rolled her eyes.

"Sorry, I messed up." Harvey gave in and handed Nicole a small snack.

Nicole took it and glared at him.

"I'll be sure to sew your mouth shut if that ever happens again." "Kelly will be my witness.

There won't be a next time," Harvey promised, unsmiling.

"Okay, I'll be the witness to this promise." Kelly smiled.

After having spent a substantial amount of time with Kelly these days, Harvey began to view Kelly as the little sister he had never had.

When he saw the grimace on her face moments ago, he was both angry and heartbroken.

And just like that, the room was then filled with fresh gales of laughter throughout the duration of the movie.

The next day, Ike arrived at 8am, just as he had promised.

As Nicole was preparing to leave, her phone rang, and she answered the call.

"Are you here already, Ike?" "Yeah, I'm outside your hotel." Ike's gentle voice was heard.

Nicole walked up to the window and looked down, where she saw a white SUV at the parking lot several floors below.

"The white SUV?" Nicole asked.

"How did you know?" Ike asked, sounding shocked.

"| just saw you.

Give me a minute, I'll be there in a bit." Nicole then hung up and walked out of her room.

Chapter 1164

Ike was already waiting outside of his car downstairs, and when Nicole approached him, he opened the door for her like a gentleman would.

Nicole smiled and said, "What's with the sudden display of chivalry?" Ike smiled.

"Am I not supposed to? Ladies first." Nicole glanced at Ike and got into the car as Ike climbed onto the driver's seat and ignited the engine, whereupon they drove to the technology exhibition.

Noticing that Nicole had been silent, he brought his hand up to the stereo to turn the radio on, which was playing Nicole's favorite song.

A smile crossed her face.

"You have a good taste in music." Ike flashed her a smile of his own upon hearing that.

His preparations did not go to waste.

Seeing that Nicole was in a good mood, he started a conversation.

" What did you do yesterday?" Nicole recalled the feeling she had when she was caught in the spat with Chloe.

"Nothing much.

I just bumped into a Karen." Ike frowned.

"Who pissed you off? Do you want me to take care of her for you?" Nicole shook her head.

After all, Chloe was a part of the Riddle family.

If she wanted to teach her a lesson through unlawful means, she would have done so long ago.

"It's fine, I know my way around this," she said.

Nicole already had an idea as to the best ways to deal with Chloe, but she had refrained from doing anything, as she wanted to be merciful.

The duo continued engaging in a conversation, and before they knew it, they had already arrived at the exhibition.

Ike then got down and opened the door for Nicole.

Nicole got off the car elegantly and Ike extended his arm to her, indicating that he wanted her to hold it.

Nicole furrowed her brows.

"It's not even a major event.

You really don't have to be this formal." Ike froze as awkwardness flooded him from within.

Though he was disappointed, he could not do anything but say, "True." Nicole ignored him and entered the technology exhibition by herself while Ike watched her, sad and disappointed.

Now in the exhibition hall, the event had already started.

There were various types of products that were on display, and all of them had their fair share of enthusiasts.

Nicole was rather interested in technology exhibitions.

She thought that she might bump into some intelligent people who could help her establish her manned flying cars.

She also wanted to see the current state of the development of manned flying cars.

That was the reason as to why she had agreed to come with Ike in the first place.

It was then that Ike joined her in the exhibition hall.

He saw Nicole looking at the products that were present and smiled.

"Here, I'll show you something worthwhile." Nicole knew that Ike had a good reason to invite her here, and as expected, Ike took her to a booth.

Within it was a large screen on which a sci-fi video was playing, showing them a car flying in the sky...

Nicole's eyes turned dark.

'Isn't this concept the same as the manned flying cars we're developing?' Ike could tell that Nicole was shocked, so he murmured to her, " This is just a special effects clip, don't get so worked up." Nicole glared at him.

"Just a clip? Then why did you bring me here? W There was nothing but the screen in that booth, so it might just be aconcept.

Ike flashed her a sly smirk.

"You'll know soon enough." Nicole had no choice but to wait and remain.

Soon, a crowd flocked over, gathering around the screen to watch the clip.

Chapter 1165

Aman with glasses smiled and took to the stage.

“Today, I'm here with a presentation regarding manned flying cars.

Our company has designed a chip that would bring us a step further toward achieving the dream of manned flying cars by way of incorporating the chips into the systems of modern cars, along with state- of-the-art mechanical designs." As the man made his impassioned announcement, Nicole heard the keyword.

"A chip?" Her eyes sparkled.

She had just started developing manned flying cars, and after all the research that had been conducted, it was concluded that the chip was the magic bullet.

She was already in the midst of programming the codes of the chip, but as she had never studied about it, she still needed a lot of information.

Little did she know that someone in the exhibition had already produced a chip, and as Nicole was an expert in mechanical design, obtaining a chip would bring her much closer to her end goal.

Nicole's eyes lit up when she thought about this.

Ike saw the look in her eyes and grinned.

"So? Time well spent, huh?" Nicole looked at him and nodded happily before turning her gaze back to the stage.

Suddenly, Ike sighed.

"Initially, I was in the process of developing achip too.

But I did not expect that this company would beat me to it.

Unfortunately, we're rivals too." Nicole did not expect that the company in question was a rival to Ike's, so she said, "Wouldn't it be nice to partner up? Why would you want to be rivals when you can both work together towards a common goal?" Ike scoffed.

"You should ask them yourself.

I've sent a few people over to discuss about a potential partnership, but they would always refuse to work with anyone else.

I think they're just afraid that others would steal their designs.

The only thing they need is an expert to help them with their mechanical designs.

They don't wish to be accessories to other companies." Nicole immediately connected the dots; this company wanted to dominate the field as they had technological superiority.

Nicole found that it was understandable, as she had encountered people of the sort as well.

Knowing this, it would be very difficult to forge a partnership with them.

While she deep in thought, the man on the stage had taken his presentation a step further by introducing their chip.

Noticing that, Nicole paid even more attention to what he was saying, with Ike stepping aside so as not to distract her.

Nicole was gifted.

Even if the company did not want to partner up with her, she would probably still get some sort of inspiration from them, one way or another.

Soon after, the man began to present the code encrypted within the chip.

Ike immediately widened his eyes.

"Gosh, this is crazy! Do they really think that their codes are impossible to duplicate?" Meanwhile, Nicole remained silent, frowning as if she was trying to remember something.

However, it was then that the codes disappeared almost instantly.

The presenter smiled and said, "This code represents our sincerity.

As we are willing to disclose it, it shows that we are certain that it's impossible to duplicate.

We're earnestly asking mechanical designing companies to send us their information so that we may work together..." Nicole was still listening, but when a thought struck her, she erupted into a gale of laughter.

This surprised Ike, who asked, "What are you laughing at?" Nicole looked away and said, "Though the code is slightly shorter...

well, I think I got it." Ike was extremely shocked.

"Are you serious?" He knew that Nicole was a genius, but he did not know that she was this intelligent.

As the company had disclosed the code, he surmised that it was probably something that was irrelevant and unusable, but he did not expect Nicole to get something out of it too.

"Thank you, Ike.

Can I use your office in the afternoon?" She had not though that she would be able to come up with an idea so soon, which was why she found the exhibition extremely worthwhile.

Ike immediately nodded when he saw Nicole being so high- spirited.

"Sure! Do you know what to do already?" Nicole flashed him a wicked smile, "You'll find out in the afternoon." When Ike saw Nicole's that smile, he knew that she had already gotten an idea.

After all, Nicole had never let him down.
