Ch. 1266..1270: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1266-1270

Chapter 1266

"i’ll spill… Please, don’t kill me.” That person looked at Nicole, terrified.

“Go on.” “I was sent by the McCarthy family.’

“McCarthy? Do you mean Joyce McCarthy?” Nicole glared at him.

The man nodded, after which Nicole took a deep breath and lifted her foot off his chest. Then, she left the area, but not before she kicking him once more, knocking him unconscious.

Once she had left the area, she got to her car and made her way back to the mall.

“Come out, Harvey.” Nicole beckoned through the phone.

“We need more time as we’re not done yet,” Harvey replied. “Are you back already?”

“Yeah, I’m about to reach the place where I dropped you off,” she answered.

“Why don’t you come in and find us?” he asked.

’It’s okay. Just come out when you’re done. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Nicole said, not wanting to enter a mall filled with so much noise.

“You were the one who wanted to buy something for your grandma, and yet you don’t even want to get down of the car,” Harvey mumbled.

“What did you say?”

’Nothing. Well see you when we’re done.” Harvey hung up right after he was done talking to her.

Meanwhile, the person who had just been fired by Martin had left his hotel for the streets. He was on high alert, and was constantly glancing around to see if anyone was tailing him. It was evident that he was experienced in this field. In addition, he spent a lot of time walking in circles around the block before entering a quiet store.

Though he was vigilant, he was still not able to elude Jared’s men. When they saw him walking into the store, one of them stood guard at the front entrance, while the other waited at the backdoor, blocking all of his escape routes.

In the store, the man made a beeline for the furthest room, where another guy was seated, monitoring the surveillance cameras.

“Boss, I’ve been noticed.”

“You piece of sh*t!” The man monitoring the surveillance footages kicked him. “Why did you come back here, then?! Do you want to lead those people here?!”

“I’ve checked, and no one followed me here,” that person said affirmatively.

The other man glared at him before letting him go. “Get up.”

“Just keep an eye on Martin’s factory. They’re still rebuilding it, right? Just let them do whatever they have to do, as we’ve got bigger fish to fry…” he said, before whispering something into the other man’s ear.

’I see,” the man who had walked in said, i’ll head back now, then.”

“Yeah, I’ll update you on the next step.”

’Yes, boss.”

“Attention, that man just came out,” one of Jared’s men reported.

’Follow him.”

Max walked into Jared’s office to report the news to Jared. “Mr. Johnston, our men have found that the person who started the fire had just met up with another person in a store. What should we do now?”

Jared thought about it, and proceeded to order, “Don’t do anything if you can’t spot any of the McCarthys.”

“Yes, sir,” Max uttered.

“Any updates from abroad?” Jared asked Max.

“Not yet,” Max said.

Suddenly, Max’s phone rang, prompting him to quickly answer the call.

Chapter 1267

"is Miss Riddle injured?” Max asked with concern.

Jared immediately grabbed the phone. “It’s Jared Johnston here. What just happened?”

“Mr. Johnston, Miss Riddle took care of her stalker, who had already passed out by the time we arrived.”

“Is Nicole hurt?” Jared asked anxiously, as Nicole was probably the only person who could make him worry.

“We can’t tell for now, but our men are following her already. Well hear from them soon.”

“You must report to me the minute you receive any news regarding Nicole,” Jared ordered.

“Yes, Mr. Johnston. And what are we going to do with Miss Riddle’s stalker? ’ Max’s man asked.

“Get him to rat his boss out,” Jared heartlessly said.

“Yes, sir,” the man said.

Jared then tossed the phone back over to Max with a dark look in his eyes. He was extremely worried about Nicole and was afraid that she had gotten hurt. If she was, he would never go easy on the person who had inflicted injuries upon her.

“We’re back,” Harvey said as he opened the car door.

“Why did you buy so many things?” Nicole remarked, noticing that they were struggling to hold that many bags.

“We had to buy more for grandma. That way, we can show her that we’re sincere.” Harvey smiled at Nicole.

“Fine.” Nicole reached out to take some of the gifts off Harvey’s hands before driving back to the hotel.

In the hotel, Harvey asked her, “What time is our flight tomorrow?”

“I haven’t booked US a flight yet, so I’ll send it to you when I’m done,” Nicole responded.

“Alright, HI catch some rest now, then.”

“Me too.”

“Okay.”

Once Harvey and Kelly had left, Nicole began to think about what the stalker had said.

‘As Joyce had already placed a target on my back, wouldn’t Martin be as well?’ she thought, during which she quickly pulled her phone out to call Martin.

‘Martin, how’s the rebuilding coming along?” Nicole asked.

“It’s almost done now. How have you been?” Martin asked.

“I’m alright. The good news is, I’m coming back tomorrow,” Nicole said, telling him about her return.

“Tomorrow? Really?” Martin uttered, shocked to hear this.

“Yeah, when have I ever lied to you?” she asked.

Nicole felt a lot better as she thought about returning home. She had not been feeling too well due to the failure with the chip she had been developing.

“Great. What time’s your flight? I’ll pick you up upon arrival,” Martin said excitedly.

‘I haven’t booked my tickets yet. You must be busy at the factory, so it’s best if you don’t come over. I’m not alone anyway. I have Harvey and Kelly with me,” Nicole declined, as she did not want to trouble Martin, knowing how busy things were at the factory.

“Oh, I’ll just give you a warm welcome once you’ve arrived home safely then,” Martin replied, not as worried anymore when he heard that she was not alone.

“Sure.”

“By the way, was Mr. Johnston informed about your return?” Martin suddenly asked.

Nicole remained quiet for some time and figured that there was no need to hide this from Jared. After all, he would know this sooner or later.

‘I don’t know,” she said. “I haven’t told him yet.”

“Oh, just let him know. He will be so happy when he hears that you’re coming back next week.” Martin deliberately clued Nicole in on Jared’s feelings, behaving as though he was a wingman of sorts.

“Sure, all good. Bye for now.” Nicole quickly ended the call in a bid to elude any conversations about Jared.

Though the call ended, Nicole still could not help but consider whether she should tell Jared about her return.

Though he had kept his promise before she left, she was still rather angry with him. She opened her chat log with him and stared at it without sending him a message in the end.

Chapter 1268

The next morning, Harvey was already done packing as he waited for Nicole and Kelly in the morning.

Harvey waited in his room for a very long time, but no one had bothered to knock on his door. ‘Is Kelly not awake as well? They said that the flight was eight in the morning last night.’

Harvey then looked at the time. It was already half past six in the morning, but Nicole and Kelly were nowhere to be found.

Harvey left his room and went over to Nicole’s room before knocking on the door, and as expected, nobody answered the door, even after a long time. ‘Is she still sleeping? I’ll just head over to Kelly’s room, then.’

He went over to Kelly’s room and knocked on it. After a while, the door opened, revealing Kelly who was garbed in neat clothing, showing that she was already done preparing.

‘Kelly, let’s have breakfast in 5 minutes,” Harvey said.

“Sure, Harvey. Did you just come from Miss Riddle’s room?” Kelly blinked at him.

“Yeah, why?” Harvey frowned. ‘Is something wrong?’

“Is Miss Riddle awake?”

‘I don’t think so. Since you’re here, you should wake her up.” Harvey said.

He could not enter her room, but if he could, he would have already barged moments ago.

’Okay, on it,” Kelly said.

“M-hm, I’ll be waiting for you in the restaurant upstairs,” Harvey said and made his way to the dining area a floor above.

Kelly closed her door and knocked on Nicole’s. After some time, Nicole opened the door to see Kelly standing outside. “Good morning.”

‘Good morning, Miss Riddle.” Kelly followed her into the room after closing her door.

“Why are you up so early?” Nicole asked as she took a seat on the couch.

Ì don’t think I’m early. Harvey is already waiting for US in the restaurant.” Kelly said, before she proceeded to tell Nicole about her conversation with Harvey.

’Harvey sure is excited to return home,” Nicole said, making fun of him. ’ Go ahead and meet him first, Kelly. I’ll see you in a bit.”

’Sure, bye for now.” Kelly turned around and left Nicole’s room, having done what she came here to do.

In the dining area, Harvey was seen drinking his coffee leisurely; he was in a good mood. ‘When Nicole returns home, she won’t be spending as much time with me already. Strangely, why do I not feel worried anymore?’

Indeed, Harvey was confused, but he was also feeling a sense of relief.

He placed his coffee down, and the moment he saw Kelly walking in on her own, he creased his forehead and waited for Kelly to take a seat in front of him before asking, “Why are you alone? Where’s Nicole?”

“She said she’ll be here in a bit,” Kelly replied as she picked the menu up.

Harvey gave her a light nod before taking another sip of his coffee.

‘What did you order, Harvey?” Kelly asked.

“Just a cup of coffee.” Harvey swirled his coffee in front of Kelly.

In response, Kelly nodded and asked, “Are you waiting for Miss Riddle?”

Harvey coughed as Kelly had exposed his true intentions, but that did not stop him from offering her a serious response. “No, I’m just used to drinking coffee before ordering a meal.”

Harvey then placed his cup down and started browsing through the menu. Meanwhile, Kelly was staring at him with a hint of disappointment in her eyes, before calling a waitress over.

After she was done, Nicole appeared and made a beeline for their table.

Seeing this, Harvey fixed his eyes on her and said, “Morning.”

“Morning, why are you up so early?” Nicole sat down and looked at him before ranging her eyes over the items in the menu.

Chapter 1269

“No, I wake up around this time every day,” Harvey said in a serious tone of voice.

“Lies. You’d only knock on my door at around seven in the morning,” Nicole replied, exposing him.

In response, Harvey smiled and explained, “I was just afraid that you’d still be sleeping, so I’d always go come over only after I’m done eating.

“Didn’t you notice that I’d always bring you breakfast every time I knock on your door?” Harvey smirked, giving off an air of slyness.

It was then that Nicole came to this realization. ‘So that’s why.’

“Are you done packing?” Nicole asked them while she ate.

‘Yeah, we can leave for the airport once we’re done with breakfast,” Kelly said.

“Nice.” Nicole flashed them a smile of satisfaction

Soon after, the trio returned their keys, after which Nicole said to Harvey,’ Thank God you came over right after, or else, it’s going to be such a hassle.”

“Hassle?” Harvey asked, confused.

“Nothing.” Nicole gave him a blank stare without offering him a word of explanation and made her way to her vehicle.

Then, she started the car and drove off to the airport without coming across anything suspicious. With this in mind, she looked at Kelly and said, ‘Go get us the tickets.”

“Sure,” Kelly uttered.

However, once they were all on the plane, people would sneak glances at Nicole from time to time, prompting her to take mental notes of the person’s seat.

When the plane departed after 20 minutes, Nicole got up to use the bathroom. The second she walked past the person’s seat, she peered over

to find nothing suspicious about the individual.

When Nicole was done using the bathroom, the same person snuck a glance at her again. Nicole noticed this, but opted to pretend as though as she did not notice this. ‘If he this person is a dangerous one, I must not show him that I had noticed him, or else I’ll endanger the other passengers.’

She returned to her seat and looked at Harvey, who was gazing out of the window. “I’ll switch seats with you. Scoot over.”

“Why, what’s up?” Harvey asked, confused. ‘We’re sitting just fine, so why is she asking to switch seats suddenly?’

“The window seat comes with a great view, so you can have it for more of that.” Nicole stated, coming up with an excuse.

Harvey had seen one too many sceneries, and so, he could not be bothered to look at one through a small window. “It’s okay, you can enjoy it yourself.”

At the very next second, Nicole immediately shoved him in, as she was not having down with the idea of having a discussion with him.

‘What are you doing?” Harvey asked, shocked.

‘Just shut it and watch your movie.” Nicole flashed her a nervous smile, and was not looking like she was joking at all.

Harvey observed her odd behavior and instantly knew what was going on. He did not protest any further and returned to watching the movie with a heightened sense of alertness.

After switching seats, Nicole kept paying attention to the person who was ignoring her. As soon as that person did something menacing, she would get up from her seat and take care of him.

After about an hour, the man lost his patience. He rose to his feet and made his way to the bathroom, but as he was walking past Nicole, the plane experienced some turbulence. Seeing this, he took the opportunity to wrap his arms around Nicole.

Nicole was quick to respond, and she did so by grabbing his hand and pinning him to the ground. “Who sent you?”

“Hey, slacken your grip. What do you mean who sent me?” the man asked in confusion.

Chapter 1270

Chapter 1270 ’Still trying to fake it, huh? Looks like I’ll have to make you suffer a little more before you’d tell me the truth.” Nicole bent that person’s arm further to the back causing him to shout.

‘It hurts!”

‘Do you want me to break your arm before you would answer my question? ‘ Nicole questioned him, her gaze cold. She was not expecting anybody from the McCarthy family to follow her into the plane at all.

It was at that moment that the air marshals heard them. They came over and saw Nicole pinning a man down on the floor. So, they approached the man and subdued him before telling Nicole, “Well take over from here.”

Nicole did not wish to do that, but she figured that as she was still on the plane, she had to give in to avoid getting into more problems.

Then, she whispered into the air marshal’s ear, “This person is behaving very suspiciously. You’ve got to find out who sent him here.”

The air marshal looked at Nicole and gave her a frown before taking the person away. Then, the stewardess came over to calm the other passengers down.

Then, Harvey looked at Nicole and asked, “What happened?”

“That guy has been following US,” Nicole said briefly.

Harvey furrowed his brows at once. “Why would he do that? Was he trying to rob us?”

Nicole rolled her eyes at him. “It’s not that. However, the crisis has been averted now. You’ll know what’s going on when we get off the plane later.’

Harvey looked at Nicole with his brow raised. ‘What’s going on? She looks like she knows exactly what that guy is up to.’

The plane finally began to descend after some time, after which Nicole turned to Harvey and Kelly and said, “You two should head back first.’

‘What about you?” Harvey asked while staring at her.

“I’m going to find out what’s up with that person who got taken away on the plane moments ago. I’ll be fine. Just be on your way now.” Nicole signaled for Harvey to leave with Kelly.

“Okay. Be careful.” Harvey left the plane with Kelly right after saying that.

Then, upon noticing that the person who got subdued on the plane was getting escorted out, Nicole walked over.

The air marshal saw Nicole and said, “You should come with US.”

“Sure.” Nicole followed them to the interrogation room, but she was stopped right outside after they had brought him in.

“Why can’t I go inside? I was the one who got him.” Nicole questioned the air marshal.

“I’m sorry. This is an investigation room, and no unauthorized personnel are allowed in there, even if you were the person who got him. You can wait outside, and my colleague will be with you in short order.” The air marshal explained to Nicole.

Then, he went into the room and slammed the door shut.

Nicole caught another fleeting glimpse of the room before she took a seat on a chair outside as she waited. After some time, a few other air marshals approached her.

‘Hello, ma’am. Are you the victim of that which had happened on the plane moments ago?” one of the air marshals asked.

“Yes, I am.”

‘Could you describe to US how that person assaulted you?”

‘He came up to me at the side and lunged at me. Coincidentally, the plane was experiencing some turbulence, and I was able to pin him down.” Nicole said, and told them everything that had happened.

“Okay,” the air marshal said. “We have a rough idea of what had happened now and I think we’ll have arrive to a conclusion soon. We’re terribly sorry for what you had to go through.”

“It’s fine. Be sure to tell me everything that the person has said in there.”

Nicole requested, her eyes narrow and stern.

‘No problem. We won’t let you down. Well leave now, so that you may catch some rest here.” The air marshals turned around and went into the investigation room after saying that.

After twenty minutes or so, Martin called, “Nicole, aren’t you coming to the factory? Where are you now? Has your flight been delayed?”

‘No, I’ve already gotten off the plane, but there is something for me to take care of at the airport,” she explained.
