Ch. 1376..1380: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1376-1380
Chapter 1376
Nicole sighed, "Why don't you just tell me if you like this coffee too? Even though finding them is difficult, I have ways to get them for you.
"You're such an interesting person..."
Nicole looked at Martin helplessly while trying to hold back laughter.
"I had no idea."
Martin put on an innocent look.He did not know Nicole could get them so easily.He thought that it was difficult for her to bring them back from overseas.
Nicole put down the cup of coffee and asked, "How's the factory doing recently?"
"Not bad.Production is going well, and orders just keep coming in.I can't find any time to slack around."
Martin enjoyed being busy very much.It made him feel content-- his lifestyle concept was the opposite of what Harvey proposed.
Nicole looked at Martin and felt like he had become his old self again.
The obstacles in life were not affecting him very much, or perhaps he was just a tough person.She put on a serious look after the small talk and asked him, "Has Joyce contacted you these days?"
The smile on his face slowly disappeared as soon as he heard Joyce's name.
"No.Why did you bring her up suddenly?"
He looked at her, confused.
"That's nice.I was just asking."
Nicole decided not to tell him about Joyce hiring someone to assault her since it does not affect him.
After all, it would have been better to avoid getting Martin involved if Joyce did not try to mess with the factory's operation.
"Oh, the McCarthy family even hired a television station to broadcast their prayers.Did you know about that?"
Martin looked at Nicole and asked.
"Yeah, I do."
Not only did she know, but she was there in person too.
"They put up quite a show.Why do you think the McCarthys even did that?"
Martin could not figure it out, so he asked Nicole.
"They probably just want their dignity back.After all, they fled the country ingloriously back then.We knew you only gave the McCarthys a chance because you and Joyce had been working together for years."
Nicole recalled her memories and could remember every single thing that happened.
"Dignity? Ha ha..." Martin chuckled.
"The McCarthys could only get where they are today because they're riding on somebody else's coattails.How ironic."
Martin mocked them sarcastically.
The McCarthy family was nothing but dirt to him, and dirt needed no dignity.
"How much do you know about this?"
Nicole could understand what he was trying to say.She felt like Martin knew something about what happened with the McCarthys when they went abroad.
"Not much.However, I heard that the McCarthys formed a connection with the Adam family through marriage.The Adam family is very wealthy, but they don't have enough heirs to extend their bloodline.In addition, the elders in the family are worried that their business empire will collapse, so they have been searching for a very fertile woman to bear their children."
"Something so ridiculous is actually happening?"
Even though Nicole had seen a lot of things, it was her first time encountering something so strange.
"That's right.The ladies of other big families aren't bothered to do that for the Adams.Additionally, that place didn't have many females, so it was harder for the Adam family to find a suitable candidate.I guess the McCarthys went there because they heard about this."
Martin told Nicole as he finally connected the dots about what happened.
Nicole's eyes sparkled, ''In that case, the Adam family doesn't really care about the McCarthys.They're just using the McCarthys as breeding stock."
"Yeah."
"I see.No wonder none of the Adams were there during McCarthy's family prayer.That explains everything now."
Nicole thought about what happened the other day on the hill and immediately understood everything.
Chapter 1377
Thank you for telling me everything.” Nicole looked at Martin and thanked him. After all, he made her trip worth it.
It made her job a lot easier after knowing the truth. She had finally found Joyce’s weak spot.
‘You don’t have to thank me. Instead, I should be the one thanking you.” A smile appeared on Martin’s face as he looked at Nicole.
‘What for?” She gazed at him, confused.
‘I know the factory is back on track because of the good words you put in for me in front of Mr. Johnston. I’m also aware that you’re why I can get so many orders. I won’t forget what you’ve done for me.” Martin looked at Nicole gratefully. He knew that Beacon would not achieve so many things if it were not for her.
‘I thought you didn’t know. I just wanted to do something to help you because I saw how much effort you put into this whenever I came here. Coincidentally, I had a few friends looking for new medical equipment, so I recommended your product. They were very eager to get their hands on Beacon when they saw it, so I gave them your contact. You won’t blame me forthat, right?” Nicole looked at Martin and told him everything she had done for him.
“Why would I blame you for something beneficial to me? Did you see the trucks coming in and out of the factory daily? All of them are filled with the orders you got me.” Martin looked very happy as he spoke.
“Really? Are there really that many orders?” Nicole could not believe it.
‘Of course. Nicole, it’s been so long since we had a meal together. Are you free today?” Martin looked at Nicole and asked.
“Yeah.”
“Let’s go to a restaurant now, then.” He suggested.
“Sure.” She gazed at him, ‘You don’t have to drive. I’ll send you back here after eating.”
‘That’s too troubling for you.” Martin rejected the idea as he was not a person who would like to trouble other people.
‘What’s so troubling about that? I just have to step on the pedal.” Nicole waved her hand at him, indicating for him to get in the car.
Martin buckled up. Then, Nicole started the car and drove out of the factory.
“Martin, which restaurant are we going to?” Nicole looked at him and asked.
“How about your favorite place, the Blue Whale Restaurant?” Martin suggested.
“How did you know that’s one of my favorite restaurants?” Nicole thought that only Jared knew she liked the food at Blue Whale. She was not expecting Martin to know about it too.
‘I noticed it the last time we went there together.” Martin tried to remember the last time they had a meal together, which was quite some time ago.
“Last time? It was pretty long ago, isn’t it?” Nicole slightly arched her brows and asked.
‘Yeah, you’re right.”
The conversation continued in the car, and they arrived at the restaurant shortly after. Nicole parked her car nearby and went inside with him.
The manager saw them and immediately went to welcome them. ‘ Ms. Nicole, Mr. Wyance. You came just at the right time. We got a very rare softshell king crab just now. Would you like to try it?”
Chapter 1378
Only special customers could get an opportunity to get a taste of this rare softshell king crab. Nicole was a regular and their VIP, so the manager recommended it to them. He would not do the same to normal customers because of how rare the type of crab was.
“Martin, would you like to try it?” Nicole looked at Martin and asked.
’Sure,” he replied gracefully.
“We’ll take it.” Nicole looked at the manager and spoke.
“Okay, I’m on it.” Then, the manager trotted to the kitchen.
A waiter brought Nicole to her special spot. Martin looked around and sat down.
“This table is definitely the best spot to be at in this restaurant.” He praised.
“Of course. I sit here every time for a reason.” Nicole said proudly. She felt particularly relaxed today when she sat there with Martin.
’Yeah. Ms. Nicole, you’ve always been a person of excellent taste.” Martin complimented her again.
‘I didn’t see you eating any chocolates before we came here. What’s with the sweet tongue?” Nicole looked at Martin and teased him, making him blush.
Two waiters came to their table carrying a huge plate a while later.
“Ms. Nicole, this is the softshell king crab you ordered. Please give them some room to serve it on the table.” The manager said politely before the waiters placed the plate carefully in the middle of the table.
“Please, enjoy. Don’t hesitate to call me over if there’s anything I can do to help.” The manager left with the waiters after saying that.
It was Martin’s first time seeing such a huge king crab. An expression of profound astonishment flashed across his face. Nicole lifted the edge of her mouth after seeing how surprised he was.
“What’s wrong? Is it too big?” Nicole looked at him and joked.
“Yeah, it’s huge. It’s got to take many years for the crab to grow this big, right?” Martin could not help but guess as he looked at the delicacy in front of him.
“I guess. Maybe this species of crab is naturally this big.
‘Stop looking at it and have a taste.” Nicole looked at him and spoke.
“Sure.” Martin would probably still be staring at the crab blankly if she had not asked him to start eating.
Nicole took a big pincer. She cracked it open and placed the meat into the sauce prepared by the chef. Then, she put it into her mouth. It was delicious. The crab tasted so fresh and chewy. Nicole enjoyed it very much.
Martin grabbed one of its legs after looking at the satisfied expression on Nicole’s face. He dipped the meat in the same sauce and tasted it.
Martin looked very surprised after eating it. It was heavenly.
“Is it good?” Nicole looked at him and asked.
“It’s excellent!” Martin could not find any other words to describe it as he looked at her with a big smile.
“I’m glad that you like it. We’re going to have a feast today.” Nicole raised her glass and proposed a toast to Martin.
Chapter 1380
“You’ll know when you get there.” Nicole kept him in suspense.
Harvey suddenly appeared in front of them when they were still chatting.
He glanced at Nicole before he asked Martin, “What’s up with her? Why did she drink so much?”
“We had a really good talk, and she got too caught up in the moment. You can see how much she drank from the bottle.” Martin looked at Harvey and explained to him.
However, Harvey looked at Nicole helplessly and said to Martin, “Come on, I’ll send you guys back.” He carried Nicole in his arms directly after saying that and walked toward his car, which was parked outside.
Harvey put Nicole in the backseat and got into the car with Martin. Then, he drove away from the Blue Whale Restaurant.
“Martin, where do you live?” Harvey looked at Martin and asked.
“Just send me back to the factory,” Martin replied.
“It’s already so late. Why do you still want to go back?” Harvey looked at him confusedly.
“The factory just restarted its production not long ago, and I have to be there to keep an eye on things. I don’t want the same thing to happen again. ” Martin looked at Harvey and spoke.
“You’re so hardworking. It’s admirable.” Then, Harvey drove the car toward the factory’s direction.
After a while, the car stopped in front of the factory. Martin turned to look at Nicole, who was in the backseat, and said to Harvey, “Get her home safely.”
“Don’t worry. See you.” Harvey stepped on the pedal and left.
Harvey was worried about her and kept looking in his rear-view mirror to check on her.
‘Where should I send her?’ Harvey started thinking to himself while driving. Ultimately, he figured it would be best to send her back to Mrs. Wallace Sr.’ s house. He did not want Jared to take care of her. Instead, he wanted to look after her for once.
Half an hour later, he arrived at the sea-view mansion. Tia came out of the house after she saw Harvey’s car.
“Mr. Ellison? What brought you here so late at night?” Tia felt strange as she asked him.
“Ms. Nicole? Is she okay?”
Tia saw him helping Nicole from the backseat and quickly went to help him hold her. However, Harvey said to her, “Open the door.”
Then, he carried Nicole in his arms again and walked into the house.
Harvey carried Nicole to her room and laid her down on the bed. Then, he turned around and said to Tia, ’Get me a warm towel.”
“Okay.” Tia went to do as he said.
“Mr. Ellison, maybe I should take care of her instead.” Tia figured it might be inappropriate for him to look after Nicole, so she suggested the idea.
Harvey looked at Tia. He stepped aside anyway, even though he wanted to wipe Nicole’s face personally. “Okay.” Then, he stood at the side and watched Tia wipe Nicole’s face carefully.
Tia looked at him. After wiping Nicole’s face, she said, “Mr. Ellison, thank you so much for sending her back. I’ll let her know about this after she wakes up.”
Then, she waited for him to leave the room. However, he stayed in the room without moving at all. So, Tia said, “Mr. Ellison, what are you looking at?”
After hearing what Tia said, Harvey realized he was staring at Nicole. He quickly shifted his gaze to Tia and said, “I’ll get going now, then.”
“Okay, I’ll walk you out.” Tia shut the door and walked him to the yard.
“You can get back inside now.” Harvey opened his car door and said to Tia.
“Be safe on the road,” Tia said out of concern.
Then, Harvey drove slowly and left the mansion.
The sun was setting. In the office of Johnson Group.
Jared stared at his phone. ‘Nicole left just like that in the morning alone, and she didn’t even give me a call till now.
‘It’s already been a day. Could she still be mad at me?’
He dialed Nicole’s number anyway after hesitating.
