Ch. 1256..1260: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1256-1260

Chapter 1256

Jared could not tell Martin that Nicole was angry with him but watching Martin anxious made him even more anxious.

“Maybe you can contact her,” Jared said while looking at Martin.

“Me?” Martin looked at Jared in surprise, not understanding what he meant.

“Hurry up and try to call her,” Jared ordered a dazed Martin.

“Okay.” Martin quickly took out his phone and dialed Nicole’s number. Both Jared and Martin listened intently to the call tone, and after a long while, the call was answered.

“Martin, what are you calling me for?” Nicole’s voice came from the phone. At that moment, the hearts of Jared and Martin felt lighter when they heard her voice.

“Nicole, are you okay?” Martin asked with concern in his voice.

“I’m doing quite well. Did something happen at the factory?” Nicole asked. She felt a little weird hearing Martin’s tone.

The factory is fine. I haven’t called you in such a long time, so I was just catching up,” Martin said quickly to cover it up.

“It hasn’t been that long, has it? Wasn’t I in the country just a few days ago?”

Jared typed on the phone and showed it to Martin. ’Yeah. Where are you now?” Martin asked according to Jared’s words.

“Where else can I be? I’m working overtime at the R&D center.” Nicole was upset and had not gotten any sleep due to the chip’s trouble.

“Is everything normal at the R&D center recently?” Martin continued to ask according to Jared’s questions.

“Everything’s fine. What’s wrong with you today? Why are you asking strange questions?” Nicole sensed that something was wrong with Martin and asked.

“I’m fine. It’s because of what happened in the factory recently, so I’m a little bit worried about you.” Martin finished speaking and looked at Jared.

“Don’t worry about me. You better think of a way to rebuild the factory as soon as possible.’

“Is Jared helping out at the factory?” Nicole asked when she was suddenly reminded what she had entrusted Jared to do before she left.

“Yeah. Mr. Johnston has been coming to the factory quite frequently recently. He also helped US find the person who started the fire.’ Martin praised Jared in front of Nicole.

“I see he still has some conscience.” Nicole unconsciously complained. Martin did not expect Nicole to say such words and looked at Jared suspiciously, where Jared dodged eye contact for a moment.

“Does the person have any accomplices?” Nicole asked Martin.

“Not in the factory. I’ve already fired him and sent people to watch over him.” Martin reported the progress to Nicole.

“Well, you did the right thing. It is impossible for a worker who has nothing against you to set fire and risk being imprisoned. There must be someone instructing him to do so.” Nicole’s analysis became

more certain.

“Mr. Johnston and I thought of the same thing too.”

“Is there any news about the McCarthy family?” Nicole asked.

“I haven’t heard of anything as of the moment,” Martin replied.

“Why has it gotten so silent with no news…,” Nicole thought to herself.

“Do you want to tell her about someone following her?” Martin asked Jared in a small voice.

“Tell her so that she’s aware and alert about it.”

 

Chapter 1257

“Who are you talking to?” Although Martin had lowered his voice, Nicole still heard some small voices.

“What, no. Nicole, I have something to tell you,” Martin suddenly said righteously.

“What’s up?” “I’ve got some news about the day you flew back. Someone followed you from the factory and got on the same flight as you. You have to be careful and keep a close eye on the situation around you,” Martin instructed, according to Jared’s words.

“Someone has followed me abroad? All the way here?’ Nicole was a little surprised when she heard the news. She was too angry with Jared that day. She did not notice that someone was following her. “Is this reliable?” Nicole questioned.

“Yeah, it’s reliable. Mr. Johnston told me.” Martin directly reported Jared’s name without thinking too much.

It was too late for Jared to stop him from saying it. Martin looked at Jared suspiciously and thought, ‘Shouldn’t I mention his name?’

Jared squinted his eyes at him and thought, ‘The cat’s out of the bag now.

It doesn’t matter anymore.’ “Jared?” Nicole questioned.

“Yes.” Martin answered while looking into Jared’s eyes. Nicole suddenly remembered that she had missed Jared’s call just now and thought, ‘Did he call me earlier just to tell me about it? I am still angry at him but fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, I would regret it even after my death.’

“Nicole, are you still there?” Martin asked after not hearing Nicole’s response after a long time.

“Yeah, I’m still here…Did Jared come to the factory today?” Nicole asked Martin. Martin had turned the speakerphone on so Jared could hear Nicole. Martin looked at Jared and asked him how to answer. Jared typed down on his phone and Martin replied according to Jared’s words, “He already left.” “Oh. Martin…” Nicole wanted Martin to pass a message to Jared for her but suddenly gave up.

“What’s wrong, you can tell me.” “It’s nothing. Nothing will go wrong here. You safeguard the Beacon until I get back.’ “Is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I have to get back to work.” “Okay, take care.” “Alright, bye.” After hanging up the phone, both Martin and Jared breathed out a sigh of relief at the same time. He looked at Jared and asked, “Mr. Johnston, why didn’t you tell Nicole directly?” “It doesn’t matter who says it. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be off now.” Jared left immediately after finishing his sentence. Just as Jared was about to leave, Martin said, “Mr. Johnston, when Nicole asked about the McCarthy family earlier. I suddenly thought of a terrible thing.” Martin paused while looking into Jared’s eyes.

“What do you mean by that?” Jared frowned and looked at Jared, his expression seemed to be worried about something.

“The McCarthy family mentioned about coming back to worship their ancestors. There has been no news up until now and based on the news you brought here claiming that the person who followed Nicole could be…”

Martin left the sentence hanging and looked at Jared.

“You doubt the McCarthy family?” Jared got the meaning of Martin’s words and looked at him.

“It’s just a suspicion. After all, Lilly was very jealous of Nicole before and was tampering with Nicole’s medication. She had intentions to harm Nicole, and now that she’s back. She might know about Nicole’s whereabouts. It’s not impossible for her to get her revenge.” Martin was familiar with Lilly’s jealousy of Nicole.

“Lilly McCarthy did something to hurt Nicole? Jared had not heard of Nicole speaking of this before. If not for Martin today, he was afraid that he would never find out.

“Yeah. However, everything was exposed by Nicole, and she didn’t get hurt because of it. Did Nicole not tell you about it?” Martin looked at Jared with a puzzled face.

Chapter 1258

Jared shook his head slightly and said, “From the looks of it, there might be some unknown danger at Nicole’s side at any given moment.” “I don’t think you should worry too much about it. Isn’t Nicole at the base? She should be safe there alongside Harvey and Kelly accompanying her. It shouldn’t be much of a problem,” Martin speculated.

“Leave Nicole’s matter to me. There’s still a lot for you to worry about the factory but thank you.’ “Also, you have to protect yourself too. Just in case bad things happen at any time, given the current situation.” Jared looked into Martin’s eyes and reminded him.

“You too.” Martin looked at Jared sincerely “I’ll be off now.” Jared walked downstairs after speaking. Max came over to Jared once he reached downstairs and greeted, “Mr. Johnston” “Follow me. Leave the matters here to Claus,” Jared ordered while glancing at the factory that was slowly getting rebuilt.

“Yes, sir.”

Max drove Jared to his villa, where Jared spent a long time in his study room pondering. He looked at Max and said, “There are two things you need to do.’ “One, investigate the recent movements of the McCarthy family and focus on investigating whether Lilly McCarthy has made any moves.’ “Second, immediately send someone abroad to protect Nicole secretly and at all costs not to let her get hurt or harmed.” “Yes, sir.”

After Max left, Jared continued to sit alone in his study and was still thinking.

Abroad, Nicole had woken up at her desk on a Sunday morning, and Harvey had placed breakfast on her desk.

“You’re awake. Have something to eat first.” Harvey glanced at her, displeased, with a pang of guilt in his heart, he knew she just came here to lead everyone’s work, and he could not help but feel sorry for her and her sacrifice.

‘Is that chip more important than her health?’ Harvey pondered for a while as he could not understand.

“Thank you.” Nicole glanced at Harvey, then picked up a sandwich and put it in her mouth.

“Nicole, you don’t get any benefits from this job. What are you working so hard for?” Harvey asked her puzzledly from the side.

“You don’t know the importance of this chip to the market. If you can make a better chip, you may get more orders using this chip.” Nicole had always kept Jared’s word in her mind as a reminder. It was why she was desperate, ‘It is all because of him.’ “That’s not enough of a reason for you to work so hard on this. Do you even know who you are working for to meet the number of orders?” Harvey reminded her that she was already working hard for Scott Harmon, and it was not worth it at all.

Nicole glanced at him and said, “Of course I know. Alright, off you go.”

Take some rest,” Harvey said before leaving.

Nicole looked at the computer screen while eating. ‘Today is the last day. If we don’t succeed, we’d have to merge with Ike’s group. Then everyone’s hard work will all be in vain.”

Nicole took a glance at the office and saw that everyone was present. She stood up and looked at them, and said, “Today’s our last day of test runs. If we still fail by the end of the day, then everyone will have to go to Ike’s R&D tomorrow.”

After Nicole finished speaking, everyone looked at each other. From their eyes, she could see that everyone was unwilling to admit defeat. “Alright, since it’s our last day. Let’s try our best!” Nicole made

a gesture of cheering.

Everyone in the office began to get busy, even Harvey participated in it, as he had also put in a lot of effort the past few days.

“Ms. Riddle, come and take a look.” Nicole went over to check.

“This was the data from last time. It failed, but if you change it here and increase the value.”

Chapter 1259

“Yes.” “Ms. Riddle, over here.” Nicole hurried over to another person calling her name. She looked at it and said, “Didn’t you use it the day before yesterday? It’s no wonder you kept getting it wrong. Have you rested well?” “I’m so sorry, Ms. Riddle. I’ll revise it right away.” Everyone has been working overtime these days, and he is indeed a little tired.

“It’s alright.’ “Kelly, make some coffee for everyone to refresh ourselves,” Nicole looked at Kelly and ordered.

“Okay.” “How many raw materials do we have?” Nicole asked.

“Probably enough for three more experiments.”

Nicole stroked her forehead and thought, ‘Three times was not enough. I think I have to ask Ike for some more.’ Nicole turned around and walked outside of the office.

Harvey had kept his eyes on Nicole while he was helping. He saw Nicole walking outside, and he immediately followed. “Where are you going?” Harvey came outside and called.

Nicole looked back to see Harvey and explained, “I’m going to find Ike.” “I’ll come with you.” Harvey caught up with Nicole.

“No need. I think it’s better if you stay and help out in the office.” Nicole thought that there was no need to carry heavy things thus she could handle it herself.

Harvey could only say in frustration after Nicole refused to let him follow,” Okay, if you need help. You must call me.” “Okay.” After speaking, Nicole walked toward Ike’s R&D lab. Harvey glanced at Nicole’s back before reluctantly returning to the office.

“Ike, I need a favor.” Nicole walked in and stood next to Ike.

“Ms. Riddle, what do you need?” Ike saw a smile on the corner of Nicole’s mouth.

Nicole looked at the people around him and said, “Let’s talk outside. I don’t want to disturb their work.” Ike nodded. He understood what Nicole meant and followed her outside of the R&D lab.

“There’s no one here, so let’s talk,” Ike said while looking at Nicole.

“We only have enough materials for three experiments. Can you help me get some materials for me?” Nicole looked at Ike sincerely.

“This is no easy request. The materials that have been distributed are limited in number. You also know that some of the people here do not support your R&D. They definitely will not agree to give you the materials.” Ike was in a tight spot as he was caught in the middle between two parties. Moreover, the materials were not in his control. He would need the approval of other superiors.

“I know this matter is difficult, so I came to find you. I can’t find anyone to help me here except for you, even if it’s for a little bit.”

To Nicole, everything now is crucial. Every bit of material she could get her hands on was as important. At there, Nicole was just a nominal person in charge. She had little say in making very important decisions. If she were in her home country, she would have received the materials already.

Ike saw that Nicole really needed it. After thinking for a while, Ike said, “I’ll try my best to help you. It’s uncertain whether I can get it or not, so don’t get your hopes too high.” “Alright. Thank you, there are still many things to do in the office, so I’ll go back and wait for your news.” “Alright.”

Nicole turned around and walked toward the office. Ike glanced at Nicole’s office, let out a long sigh of relief, and thought, ‘How can I help her with this?’

Chapter 1260

When Nicole reached the doors of her office, Harvey saw her walking in and asked, “Did you not get it?” “Ike promised to help. Let’s wait for his news later in the afternoon.” After speaking, Nicole walked over to her desk to continue working.

In Zane Spears’s organization, Carl had already finished preparations and was waiting for Zane’s order to let people on board.

After a while, Zane Spears appeared in front of everyone. He glanced at everyone and said, “Your task this time is to protect Curley Corporation in Lanningbourg and eliminate all of The Raven members that are invading and have other malicious intentions.” “Yes, sir,” everyone said in unison.

Zane glanced at everyone’s equipment, geared up with the Beacon, then set his eyes on Carl. He walked up to Carl and looked at him. “This task is extremely difficult due to the massive destruction of The Raven. There are only three production bases left for Curley Corporation. The production base in Lanningbourg is the largest and most comprehensive among the three, so you must protect it well and send the bravest ones to the battlefield if necessary “This is the authorized key given by Curley Corporation’s CEO. You have to keep it safe!” Zane placed a key into Carl’s hand and looked at him seriously.

Carl looked at the key he held tightly in his hand, then raised his head and looked at Zane with firm eyes and said, “Don’t you worry, Sir. We will complete our task!” “Okay. Go board the plane,” Zane ordered.

“Yes, sir.” “Get on the plane,” Carl turned to look at everyone and ordered. Then he led the team onto the plane and flew into the sky under Zane’s watchful eyes.

After testing a few experiments, the materials left were only enough for three. By noon, the materials left could only suffice for one experiment. Nicole glanced at the materials, raised her head to look at everyone, and said, “Let’s get our lunch breaks.”

Everyone looked at Nicole, then put down their work and went to get their lunch at the restaurant. Harvey came to Nicole’s side and said, “Let’s go eat.” “No, you go ahead. I don’t have much of an appetite.” Nicole looked disappointed, completely depleted, and unable to cheer up.

“No can do. It’s not shameful to declare a failure,” Harvey comforted.

“It’s not shameful, but it’s not the result that I wanted it to be.’ Nicole looked at him and explained.

“Not only were the materials limited, but the personnel and equipment were all in aspects not cooperating. So, you do whatever it is you need to do, and it doesn’t matter if you succeed or not.” “When we return home, I will ensure my full support to you to help you achieve the results that you want.” Harvey looked into Nicole’s eyes seriously and spoke. Nicole suddenly felt that Harvey seemed much taller, but unexpectedly he said something that touched her, and a warm current flowed in her heart instantly.

“Thank you. Your words are enough.” Nicole looked into his eyes sincerely, with a smile on the corner of her lips.

During this time abroad, if it were not for Harvey’s bickering with her from time to time, she would be bored to death. “How about we have dinner together?” Harvey extended another invitation to Nicole. She noticed that Harvey had no intention of letting her go so easily, and she did not want him to worry and said, “Okay.”

At the restaurant, Nicole glanced around and did not see Ike. Harvey noticed that Nicole was looking around, so he sat down and asked, “What are you looking for?” “It’s nothing. Let’s eat.” Although Nicole

was having the food in front of her, her brain was constantly thinking about what they would do after they failed the experiments.

Harvey noticed that Nicole seemed to be in a trance. He raised his hand and waved in front of her eyes, and said, “Hey, don’t think about it. Eat first.”

Nicole glanced at Harvey and curled her lips slightly, giving a weak smile, then stopped thinking and continued eating.

After lunch, Harvey took Nicole to the pantry for a cup of coffee. Nicole had refused as she wanted to rest.
