Ch. 1456..1460: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1456-1460

Chapter 1456

“I'm fine, but what's the deal with Fiorella?" Nicole asked Martin directly.

"Fiorella Fisher? What are you talking about?" Martin asked sloppily.

"Don't play dumb with me. She's in Jared's ward. Do you want me to go on? " Nicole asked, her tone icy.

She was not expecting Martin to withhold such an important piece of information from her.

It was then that Martin suddenly remembered the cloud surveillance camera in the ward. ‘Nicole must've seen Fiorella through it’

"So, you already knew about...Fiorella. Well, uh, I couldn't leave Jared alone in the ward. I have other things that I need to deal with. After much consideration, I think that Fiorella is the best person suited to take care of Jared, and that was why I came up with that decision,” he said with traces of guilt in his voice.

"Where's Max when you're busy?" Nicole asked.

"Max has company matters to deal with too, and with Jared locked in his current state, no one else in the company knows what to do. Max and Claus have been busy with the company’s affairs. They occasionally come over to visit Jared, but they would leave whenever they receive a phone call," Martin replied, explaining the predicaments that Max and Claus were into Nicole.

Upon hearing Martin's words, Nicole anger began to dissipate. Indeed, Max and Claus had been working hard ever since Jared fell into a coma.

"Martin, I Know that you've been worried about this, but to let Fiorella take care of Jared? Don't you know how Fiorella feels about him?" Nicole said bluntly.

"I know precisely how Fiorella feels about Jared, and that was why I entrusted her with the task of taking care of Jared. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to deal with my own stuff. There isn't anyone else that's more suited to look after him right now,” he said.

"This is the reason as to why I didn't ask you for your opinion. Firstly, you were out of reach, and secondly, I was afraid that you would disagree if you found out," Martin continued, expressing his concerns freely.

"Martin, am I an unreasonable person to you?" she asked.

"Of course not. It's just that I didn't arrange things well,” Martin replied, knowing that Nicole wasn't angry anymore right after he had heard what she had to say.

"Anyway, when are you coming back?" Martin asked.

"I still have some difficult things to deal with here. I can't come back for the time being. As for Jared, I'll leave him in your and...Fiorella’s hands for now,” she replied after some hesitation.

"Don't worry about Jared. You should take care of yourself over there,” Martin reminded with concern.

"Don't worry about me, Martin. There is one more thing I need you to keep as a secret for me,” she requested.

"What's that?” he asked.

"If Jared wakes up, don't tell him that I'm now abroad. You must not let him come and look for me,” Nicole said in a stern voice.

"That will be difficult. I mean, if everything can be dealt with before he wakes up and he asks me about you, I'll... Anyway, it won't take that long for you to come back, right?" Martin hesitated with a hint of embarrassment.

"I'm not sure how long I'll take," she blurted out.

"Bottom-line is, if Jared wakes up and I haven't returned by then, you must never let him know that I'm not in the country. You must keep this as a secret from him!” Nicole urged.

“Alright, I'll try my best to keep it a secret, but it'll come a day when he discovers the truth, and I'm not to blame when he does," Martin said, not wishing to deceive Jared again.

"I hope that you'll be able to come back soon so that I won't have to lie to him again,” he said.

"Mr. Wyance, everyone has a few questions they'd like to ask you." Charles said after coming out of the conference room and walking up to Martin.

"Okay, I'll be right back." "Go ahead and take care of things on your end first. Bye,” Nicole said upon hearing everything that was happening on Martin's end.

Chapter 1457

“Okay, I'll call you when I have the time." Martin hung up.

In the room, Nicole looked at the set of doors, suddenly wishing that Jared would regain consciousness, so that she would have more time.

Outside, the Braves and the troops were still trying their best to fend off the offensive mounted by the Raven. Nicole was not in the mood to stay in the room for the entire day, so she got up and walked out of the room, before heading to the central control room.

"Why is it that there a bunch of people engaging those around them. What's the situation?" Carl murmured in puzzlement while looking at the monitor.

"What's wrong?" Nicole walked over and asked.

"Take a look outside,” Carl said, imploring Nicole to look at the monitor.

Nicole proceeded to keep her eyes on the monitor, which then showed her the very scene that Carl had witnessed earlier. Nicole recognized those who were locked in battle with the Raven immediately.

"I didn’t expect them to come here,’ Nicole whispered.

"Nicole, who are those people you're talking about?” Carl asked upon hearing what she had said.

"Oh, nothing. I’m talking about the people from the Raven. Have you met them outside before?” Nicole asked, concealing the truth from him.

Carl looked at Nicole in disbelief, after which he continued to pay attention to the battle outside. It was clear that the situation outside had gotten messy. The men who were not part of the Raven had

gradually be caught in the siege mounted by the Raven, and in the midst of the battle, they were caught in the crossfire.

A wicked smile appeared on Nicole's mouth as she watched them being killed one by one. 'Those people who had followed me before should be gone by now. Man, I wasn't expecting the Raven to do me such a huge favor.”

Indeed, the Raven had regarded the group out there as the members of the base, mistaking them as the base's reconnaissance team, and had thus immediately surrounded and attacked them.

It was at this moment that a voice blared out of Carl's walkie-talkie. "C, we have reached the other side of the river. We need someone to get us."

"Okay, I'll send someone to meet you on the other side of the river right away," Carl ordered.

"Nicole, since you're here. I'll go out to meet them." Carl said as he looked at her, after which he turned around and left.

About half an hour later, Carl returned to the base with the members of the elite team. Nicole went out to greet them, assuming that they had successfully completed the task.

She took a look at them, and that was when her eyes widened in shock.

"Why are you all injured?" She walked over and asked.

"Initially, we had lured the guards outside the command post. Yolli then went in to deal with the ones inside. A group of people suddenly came out of nowhere and attacked me. We were fortunate that we were able to fight our way out, or else, we would've been beaten to a pulp," Jason reported to Nicole.

Nicole looked at Carl as she listened to what Jason had to say, after which she ordered, "Bring them in and get their injuries treated first.”

After they had left, Nicole continued, "It seems that when I went there to scout them, they had noticed me and taken some precautions."

"This time we have gotten ourselves some casualties. If we want to get rid of Cara, we have to think in terms of the long run.”

Nicole and Carl conversed as they walked along, side by side.

"I didn’t expect Cara to be so cunning. It seems that we had underestimated him,” Carl said as his eyes narrowed.

“Perhaps we did... I'm beginning to think that Cara is an interesting figure, after all. I must meet him in person when I get a chance,’ Nicole said in a low voice.

Outside the base, the Raven began to gradually retreat as they had received orders from their higher ups. Then, the base of production slowly reverted to its previous state of calm, with the sun setting in the background...

Chapter 1458

Harvey had come to visit Jared at the hospital today, but when he entered, Martin was nowhere to be found. Instead, he was faced with the sight of Fiorella.

"Why are you here?" Harvey looked at Fiorella in surprise and asked.

"Mr. Ellison, are you here to visit Mr. Johnston?" Fiorella asked, ignoring the look of surprise on Harvey's face.

Noticing that she had not bothered to answer his question, he looked at her and asked, “Judging from the fact that you're this calm, I'm assuming that you've been coming here regularly, haven't you?"

"What do you mean I've been coming here regularly? I have always been here accompanying him, okay?" Fiorella got up from her seat and poured herself a cup of water.

"Always been here accompanying Mr. Johnston? Am I hearing this right? Where's Martin?” Harvey looked at Fiorella in disbelief and asked.

"Naturally, Dr. Wyance has other things he needs to tend to, so he didn't show up today." Fiorella looked at his shell-shocked expression, knowing that Martin had not told him any of this.

"Why this Martin. How can he let you in here when Nicole had entrusted Jared to him?" Harvey muttered about calling Martin.

Fiorella heard Harvey's loud murmur, but she did not stop him. Instead, she returned to Jared's hospital bed with her glass of water, whereupon she continued reading to him.

Harvey looked at Fiorella's actions in shock before dialing Martin’s number.

"Martin, what are you doing? Why is Fiorella in Jared's ward?" Harvey asked Martin in a low voice.

"You went to visit Jared? How is he?" Martin asked about how Jared was doing, ignoring Harvey's question.

Harvey issued a sigh of defeat.

He glanced at Fiorella, after which he moved closer to the window and asked, "Martin, did you hear what I'm asking you? What's going on with Fiorella?"

"Oh, you're talking about her... I brought her here to take care of him. I've been running around, busy as a beaver as of recent," Martin explained.

"But you can't... You can't ask help from her. If Nicole finds out, she'll skin you alive!”

Harvey suddenly realized his voice was a little too loud and immediately lowered his volume.

"Don't worry. Nicole is aware of it," Martin replied to him calmly.

"What?! Nicole knew? And she agreed to it?" Harvey asked in surprise.

"Well, Nicole took this much better than you did," Martin mocked. "If there's nothing else, I've got to hang up. I've still got much to do here."

"Okay then, I'll talk to you later." Harvey said and hung up, given the situation at hand.

Fiorella shot a bullet of a glance at Harvey before continuing to read.

Harvey then returned the glance and asked, "Are there any signs of Jared waking up?”

"No."

"Oh. Are you reading here?” Harvey took a glimpse of the book in her hand and casually asked.

"This is Mr. Johnston's favorite book so I'm reading it to him." Fiorella looked at Jared and said.

"Oh...go right on ahead, then. I have something I need to attend to so I'll be leaving." Harvey bade Fiorella goodbye and left the ward.

Then, Harvey looked at the bodyguard standing by the door and asked,” How long has Fiorella been taking care of Jared here?"

"It's been several days," the bodyguard replied.

Harvey gave him a slight nod, took another glimpse of the ward once more, and left.

Chapter 1459

In the car, Harvey made a phone call to Nicole. He had not been able to reach her for the past few days, but much to his delight, the call connected today. He was excited as he waited for Nicole to answer.

"Hey, why did you call me?" Nicole's voice blared out.

"How are you, Nicole? It's been a while, and I'm glad that I'm finally able to reach you today.” Harvey said, elated to hear Nicole's voice.

"I'm doing very well, so you don’t have to worry about me,” she replied.

"Nicole, I just left the hospital. Do you know anything about Jared as of recent?” Harvey carefully asked.

"You went to see him? How is he?" Nicole quickly asked Harvey upon hearing Jared's name being uttered, as she thought that he was showing signs of consciousness.

"Calm down, he's fine. But... There's an uninvited guest in his ward,” Harvey said, wanting to tell Nicole about it gradually.

"Uninvited guest? Who is it?” Nicole asked as she wondered. 'Did someone go in there to look for him?’

"Please don't get mad if I tell you. They didn't do anything.” Harvey said, having thought hard about it.

"Just tell me who's there!" she yelled.

"I saw Fiorella. She's in his ward." Harvey replied, having mustered up the courage to tell Nicole.

"Who else is there?” Nicole asked.

"No one. But aren't you shocked that Fiorella was there?"

This was not what Harvey was expecting as he thought Nicole would be stunned to know that Fiorella was there.

"Can you not beat around the bush next time?" Nicole chided, as she thought that the people who were after her had gone in to look for Jared.

"I already know about her taking care of Jared, so you don't have to act like it's a big deal,” she said.

"You knew about this?!" Harvey's eyes widened in shock.

"Yeah, Martin explained to me already,” she said. "How's Jared? Fiorella didn't do anything that crossed the line, did she?"

It was a lie to say that Nicole was not worried. Nicole knew everything that Fiorella had done to Jared too, which was why she was slightly anxious.

"He's just the same as always. Fiorella didn't step out of line and was just reading a book there. She even said that it was a book that Jared liked,” he informed.

Harvey had not heard that there was a book that Jared liked, so he was wondering how Fiorella knew about it.

"A book?” Nicole asked, slightly surprised.

"Yeah, don't you know what book Jared likes? Seems like you don't really pay attention to him,” Harvey teased.

"Why wouldn't I know? Other than reading to Jared, what else did she do?” Nicole brushed the topic aside and continued asking Harvey.

"Nothing. I wasn't there for long. I left when I saw that there was nothing unusual with Jared.” Harvey recalled.

"If you're free these days, please visit Jared for me and let me know if anything happens,” she requested.

Harvey knew what Nicole had meant, and said, "Sure, I'll visit him once every few days. I guarantee that you'll be the first to know when something happens to him.”

"Sure, thank you. I'll treat you to a feast when I'm back,” Nicole said.

"In that case, you've got to come back soon. Don't try to trick me with this offer.” Harvey said.

In truth, he just wanted to see Nicole. He was bored to death when she was not around, as there was no one that he could talk to.

"Okay, I'm busy with something here, so I'll hang up now,” she said. "Bye."

Then, Nicole ended the call.

Chapter 1460

A few days later, Nicole and Carl plotted to attack the Raven's command post once more, as the injured members of the elite team that had been assaulted was recovering well.

"Nicole, go get some rest. You've been at it for the entire morning." Carl looked at Nicole with concern.

"It's fine, I'll study it for a while longer.” Nicole shot a glance at him before looking back at the map.

Hearing this, Carl took the map away from her and folded it.

"What are you doing? I'm still looking at it," Nicole asked Carl.

"Take a break from it and go out with me for a bit," Carl said with a serious look on his face.

"Where are we going?" Nicole asked with a frown.

"You'll know in a bit. Let's go.” Carl stood up and looked at Nicole, motioning her to follow him.

As Carl had stored the map away, Nicole could only follow him outside. Both of them then walked out of the meeting room, and Car! took Nicole to the lounge.

Nicole saw the lounge the moment she walked in and asked, "Why did you bring me here? Do you know that our time is precious?”

She was about to turn and leave when Carl grabbed her wrist. "Taking a rest wouldn't be a waste of time. You've been exerting yourself for the entire time, so it is safe to say that your mind is pretty fuzzy at this point.

"Have a seat. I'll make a cup of coffee for you. It's been some time since you tried it, huh?" Carl persuaded Nicole, prompting her to finally sit down.

After a short while, Carl walked over with two cups of coffee. "Here, see if my coffee has become worse."

Nicole looked at the coffee and found that Carl had even decorated it with some latte art. Seeing this, she smiled and took a sip of the coffee.

Meanwhile, Carl watched her expression closely before he asked, "How is it?”

Suddenly, Nicole feigned a look as though she had just tasted something awful. “Why is this so bad? Your skills have deteriorated, Carl."

"Huh? Is it that bad? Let me give it a try." Carl grabbed Nicole's coffee, attempting to taste it for himself.

Nicole quickly stopped him, even if she had to touch his hand. "I'm just messing with you."

In response, Carl rolled his eyes. "I'm being nice to you, and yet, here you are, screwing around with me.”

"To be honest though, your coffee brewing skills have actually improved a little," Nicole praised him with a smile.

"Ah, that's impossible. Who knows if you're kidding or not?" he said, reluctant to believe that Nicole was complimenting him.

"Tsk, you won't even believe me even when I'm giving you a compliment, so let's just forget about it." Nicole drank the coffee.

"Okay, I believe you. I believe in anything you say, and that's why I was fooled,” he said in defeat.

"You've been here for so long, but why hasn't Jared come over to see you? Did you sneak your way here?” Carl asked, as he suddenly thought about Jared, whom he had always considered to be an

overbearing guy.

"Come on. Why must I even sneak around?” she asked.

"He's really busy with his work, so he can't be with me wherever I go. Besides, I told him that I was coming to visit you this time, so he's not worried at all." Nicole continued, telling him a lie with a straight face.
