Ch. 1581..1585: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1581-1585

Chapter 1581

Order one of these for Nicole too."

The twins were fighting to order something for Nicole.

Nicole's face darkened at once. “Enough. These are enough for me. The both of you should order something that you guys like."

"Sure." Samuel smiled and finally gave in.

As Bradley witnessed the whole situation, he admired Nicole, "Your brothers treat you very well.”

“Yeah.” Nicole smiled, but deep down, she was feeling a little worried.

She had never been used to people being so caring and nice to her, with the exception of one person...

The instant she thought about Jared, Nicole began to blush.

Over the past few days, the Johnston family had received a lot of collaborations because of the Riddle family. Naturally, Jared had been busy every single day, but no matter how busy he was, he would always give Nicole a call at night.

The only time Nicole did not feel uncomfortable when showered with care and love was when Jared was the person doing it. It was really strange to her.

Soon, the dishes were served. While they were eating, Lulu suddenly thought about something to gossip about.

"Nicole, did you know that Lloyd Holder's agency had found a female lead? The news was released today but it was quite secretive. They did not announce the name of the female lead."

"It's been an entire holiday season and the guy had just found his female lead? I bet that this director really does have high requirements.” Bradley frowned.

On the other hand, June was unhappy about it. "Initially, his team was coming to my school to watch a play. Isn't there a rumor saying that they might select potential candidates in our school to become the female lead?"

“Rumors are just rumors. How could we believe any of them? " Bradley asked, unable to resist the act of discouraging them.

Lulu looked at Nicole and sighed. "What a pity. At that time, Nicole acted really well and Mr. Holder even hugged her...”

In response, Samuel coughed.

The moment they began discussing about the topic, he became a little put off.

"It's just some drama within the entertainment industry.

What's so great about it? He better stay far away from my sister.”

Samuel's words made Spencer nod his head too. "Yeah, I don't think he is a good dude, to be honest."

Lulu and June rolled their eyes at once. ‘This is how straight guys act. What else would they understand?’

As they were thinking, someone suddenly approached their table: a beautiful lady dressed in business wear.

The lady's eyes were fixed on Nicole, prompting her to wonder, ‘Do I know any pretty business ladies?"

"Hello, you must be Miss Nicole Riddle, right?" the woman asked.

The lady then walked to the front, whereupon she took her sunglasses off to make sure that she was not asking the wrong person.

When everyone saw that this lady knew Nicole, they were shocked.

"Nicole, do you know her?” Samuel asked, straightening himself upon seeing a lady with both beauty and brains.

When June, who was sitting directly across from Samuel, noticed that Samuel preferred this sort of women, her face immediately stiffened.

"I don't know." Nicole shook her head and replied candidly.

Anna smiled. "It's understandable that you don't know me, but I know you. Lloyd Holder showed me a picture of you.”

At the mention of Lloyd Holder, everyone there was stunned.

‘What does this lady have to do with Lloyd Holder?’

"You know Lloyd Holder?" Nicole raised her eyebrows slightly.

At that moment, Anna took a name card out from her purse and left it on the table. "I'm Lloyd's manager. You may call me Anna.”

Upon hearing those words, Lulu and the rest were flabbergasted. "Lloyd Holder's manager?"

"It seems that she's here to look for Nicole..." Bradley mumbled in a low voice.

Anna flashed them a friendly smile. "I am indeed here to look for Nicole. I heard that you've agreed to be the female lead of 'Lukewarm'’. I've also drafted the contract. Initially, I was thinking of signing the

agreement with you elsewhere but I did not

expect to bump into you here.”

“Lukewarm?"”

"Female lead?"

Chapter 1582

Everyone was stunned, with Lulu looking at Nicole and asking, "Could it be the Lukewarm drama that we were talking about?"

Nicole looked at Anna in defeat.

‘‘Just my luck. I can't believe I bumped into Lloyd's manager,’ Nicole thought.

Nicole had not told her family about it yet, but she figured that there was no way of hiding it anymore, and so, she just accepted

Anna's business card. "What a coincidence.”

Anna smiled at Nicole. She found Nicole pretty when she saw her picture, but now that she had seen her in the flesh, she realized that Nicole was incredibly charming. '17 to 18 is the best age to have a debut in the entertainment industry.’

She finally understood why Lloyd had insisted that Nicole played the role the moment she saw Nicole's charm and spirit. She also knew why Nachelle had immediately agreed to the pick when she heard that it was Nicole.

Anna then produced a contract from her bag. "I know this is weird, but I'm going to hand you the contract now. You can have a look at it when you're free and hit me up if you have any questions. And one more thing. Lloyd asked me to tell you that he has checked it for you already."

Nicole gave Anna a glance before looking down at the contract.

She was unclear of the messy details regarding the industry, but she figured that Lloyd was indirectly telling her that he had helped out by writing off the things that she did not want to do.

Then, she took a pen out from her shirt and signed it on the spot. "That's alright. You can bring it back to Lloyd."

"Wow. Are you sure?" Anna was surprised as she thought,’ This gal sure is bold!’

She proceeded to look at Nicole, who did not seem as though she was a high school student. Indeed, Anna found that there was something very mature about her and her gaze.

And after Nicole had signed the papers, she took a seat.

Anna quickly snapped out of her thoughts and kept the contract in her bag. "Just add my number when you're free. Give me your email too, so that I can send you the script. Well start the shoot in 15 days or so.”

"Sure." Nicole nodded, giving Anna a clear display of boldness and confidence.

Everyone else finally registered everything that was happening after Anna had left.

They looked at Nicole, their gazes bright with admiration." Oh my god, Nicole. That's Lloyd's manager! Why aren't you nervous at all?"

"Why would I be?” she asked.

After all, Lloyd was the one who had begged her to star in the drama. She was not the one who requested the role.

After a few seconds, Spencer pulled himself back to the present and asked, "What's going on, Nicole? Why are you the female lead in Lukewarm?"

So many things were happening at home, and no one knew that she would join the entertainment industry.

Nicole looked at them, and in a casual tone of voice, she replied, "I’m just doing it for fun because I'm interested in the script."

Lulu and June grew sour upon hearing Nicole's remark. It was said that no one in the industry had caught the director's eye when she was looking for a female lead in Lukewarm, and yet, Nicole was graced with that opportunity.

However, she was so nonchalant about it and actually said that she only did it for the fun of it.

‘Nicole is the only one who'd think this way. If this goes out to the public, every female star in the industry would be jealous of Nicole!’

"Seems like Lloyd really went to our school to find himself a female lead!”

"That makes sense!" Lulu and Bradly stated, finally arriving at a realization.

Nicole was speechless. ‘They do know how to connect the dots. But I didn't think of starring in a movie at all, let alone joining the entertainment industry. I'm just going to consider this as my token of gratitude for Lloyd. Studying is pretty boring too, so finding something else to do won't hurt.’

"Here, let's have a toast to congratulate Nicole for starring in Lukewarm!" June raised her glass proudly as she was really happy for Nicole.

Though Spencer and Samuel were shocked, they did not say anything. They raised their glasses to congratulate Nicole for the time being, but they exchanged looks as they had decided to tell their brothers when they got home.

 

Chapter 1583

It was rare for Nicole to be able to relax, so she smiled and raised her glass before chugging her beverage down with them.

Then, June and Lulu began chatting up to Nicole, and though Nicole listened more than she spoke, she still responded to their comments.

Spencer and Samuel had hardly seen Nicole behaving like this. In their family, most of them were males, and that was probably why Nicole would only show her girly side when she was with her female classmates.

After their lunch, Nicole bade them farewell and took Spencer and Samuel away to try on some clothes.

Then, they went back home in the evening.

Gloria asked Spencer and Samuel to help her out as she looked at Nicole with adoration. "You must be tired. Get some rest. I have your brothers helping me.”

“Huh? I'm tired too, mom." Samuel complained.

In response, Gloria pinched his ears. "You wish. Come help me out!"

Spencer looked at Nicole helplessly. "You're the only one who gets to enjoy this privilege, Nicole."

Then, he went to the kitchen and joined his brother.

Nicole smiled. She really liked her life the way it was; peaceful and calm.

After lingering for a moment, she headed upstairs.

The phone that she used to contact Zane was damaged when it got into the water. Fortunately, she had found someone to fix it for her and was finally able to get it back today.

Though she knew that there would be a lot of spam calls, she still switched her phone on.

As expected, her phone started to vibrate ceaselessly as countless messages and notifications flooded in.

She could tell that Zane was losing his mind.

Nicole was considering whether she should give Zane her personal number as she thought, ‘If this continues, Zane will probably go nuts soon.’

After she had read through all of the messages, she gave Zane a call, which was immediately answered. "Nicole!

What happened to you?! Is your phone just a decoration? How could you switch it off for so long? You must leave your phone on every night, as per the organization's rules. Don't you remember?"

Nicole pulled the phone away from her ears before putting it back after she could no longer hear Zane's voice. "I fell off a bridge and my phone got into the water."

Zane then remembered something important. "I was calling you about this too. How did you fall off a bridge? I didn't get any news about other organizations coming here, so they are probably not the ones who attacked you."

"Yeah, there's probably someone else. I don't think it was that same group of people from last time."

Even if it was, they would not have done it in such simple fashion.

"Who?" Zane asked.

"Someone who hates me, I guess." Nicole's gaze sharpened. "But don't worry. Jared is already investigating it for me. Let's just continue searching for the Braves."

They had to know who was pulling the strings, and that was why she did not tell the organization. She did not want them to help her with the investigation.

"The Holders are looking into the case too,” Zane said.

Nicole understood what he was trying to say. "I got Lloyd to help me out."

Zane, who had already figured it out, nodded. “They probably have a much greater advantage over us. Those people might be avoiding us."

 

Chapter 1584

"Yeah, we're getting an update soon. Anyway, how's Carl?” she asked.

In a deep voice, he said, "We looked into the bullets that were fired. I believe they've already found the manufacturer of the weapon and the bullets, but they still have yet to find out who distributed it."

"That's good to hear.” Nicole issued a sigh of relief.

But it was then that Zane sighed as well. "But we're a little too late. You've already exposed your identity, so you've got to really take care of your family.”

"I will. Don't worry. I'll use the crest if I need to,” she replied.

"Good."

Zane was relieved to hear that. He then told Nicole a few more things before ending the call.

Once the call was over, Nicole put the phone away and laid down.

Not only had she exposed her identity, she had also joined the entertainment industry. ‘Zane is probably going to lose it if he knows that I did this as a trade with the Holder family.’

She let out a sigh again. She did not have any choice but to hide it from Zane for now.

Then, she added Anna's number and sent Anna her email address. Receiving the script almost immediately, she clicked on it to read it. Not long after, she began to get bored, and that was when Jared gave her a call.

"What ‘cha doing?" Though Jared sounded tired, his voice still hinted that he missed Nicole.

"I'm looking at the script.” Nicole said, not hiding it from him.

"Script? Are you going to act in a movie?” Jared frowned.

‘I didn't know about this,’ he thought.

"Yeah, I needed the Holder family to find the answers that I am looking for, so I agreed to star in a movie for him," she replied. Jared immediately tightened his brows. "With Lloyd?"

‘Now, Lloyd is a complicated man.’ Jared thought, having noticed how persistent Lloyd was in pursuing Nicole.

"I think so. Judging from the script, he's probably the male lead,” she stated.

Jared became upset in an instant. "Over my dead body."

Jared got depressed as soon as he thought about Nicole playing a role with Lloyd.

"It won't be long, so don't worry.” Nicole scanned through the script, which added up with what Lloyd had told her.

During Nicole's brief stint as an undercover agent, she played a similar role as well. However, she was doing it with Carl, so playing it with another guy would not be a difficult task for Nicole.

She looked at the remarks written at the back and found out that the filming period was going to be three months. She smiled indifferently as she knew that she could land a role like this done in just under a month.

"No way. I can already tell what that man is up to.” As a man himself, Jared could see through the intentions that every man had for Nicole.

Nicole frowned. "We're going to get married anyway. What are you worried about?"

She did not think that Lloyd still had this inappropriate ambition to pursue her, as she was going to marry Jared. She thought that there would be a limit to all of that confidence within.

Jared paused and kept quiet for a second before he said,” Are you saying that you agree to get married sooner?"

Nicole choked. She was not thinking properly when she said that while she was reading the script. 'Gosh, why would I say something like that?’

"T-That's not what I meant.”

However, Jared did not let it slip. "I heard what you said, and I'll remember it. That's it, I'll get it done as soon as possible.”

Lloyd was a celebrity, and he would not get in the way of somebody else's relationship to spare himself from trouble. That is, if Jared made it official with Nicole.

Nicole sighed upon noticing that Jared was starting to behave in a shameless manner again. "Whatever."

She knew that arguing with him was not going to help their situation.

 

Chapter 1585

However, it was going to happen sooner or later anyway. She could do her own things in peace after it had been taken care of.

Then, as if he had felt something, Jared softly said, "Okay, well stick to this plan then. I'll tell Zane to let you go after we've gotten married."

He had already made this decision for her when he went to save her at the airport. He just could not allow Nicole to do anything too perilous anymore.

Nicole's heart melted, but the mixed feeling flooded in thereafter.

"Jared... do you want me to quit?" she asked.

It was possible for her to do so in the Interpol, but she was not old enough to do that. Therefore, she did not know if Jared wanted her to retire after getting married.

"I just don't want you to put yourself in danger anymore. And... I don't want to see you covered in blood ever again,” he asserted.

Nicole became silent after she had heard Jared's heartfelt confession.

Suddenly, her heart started pounding as she became overjoyed. She could even hear Jared's voice trembling when he said that.

Nicole had never been afraid of death. She kept growing in strength and resilience after she had met Zane when she was younger, and that was also when taking care of her grandmother became her responsibility. She had never done anything to disobey Zane or the organization because she wanted to repay Zane for having given her an opportunity, as well as guidance throughout the years.

However, she began to feel a sense of fear after she had met Jared. She was afraid that she might never be able to see him again. Still, quitting the organization was something that had never crossed her mind.

Nicole took a deep breath and said, "I'll think about it."

She had only been able to live this long because of Zane and the organization. There was just no way she could leave the organization with just a simple letter of resignation.

"Sure, but I won't change my mind.” Jared asserted, sounding very bossy. "You’re mine now, and I want the best for you."

His affectionate voice emanated through the phone, making Nicole feel that she was genuinely loved as her heart started racing.

"Okay, stop being so cheesy. I need to read the script now.” Nicole hung up as her face grew hot.

Jared heard the beeping sound in his phone, but he was not mad at all as he already knew that Nicole was just being shy.

Indeed, Nicole would only behave like a meek woman in front of him.

Jared was in a good mood when he placed his phone down. However, the look on his face darkened as soon as he thought about Lloyd.

‘How bold of that idiot to ask Nicole to accompany him. I guess I'll have to teach him a lesson,’ he said to himself. He pressed the call button on his phone, and that was when Max came inside.

"Mr. Johnston, how may I assist you?"

Jared smiled faintly. "Find out which show Nicole is working on now, and... invest in their production team.”

Jared figured that he should not be a gentleman anymore, as Lloyd had resorted to using dirty tricks.

"Yes, sir.” Max obliged, playing it cool in spite of the fact that he too was surprised by the notion that Nicole was going to act in a drama series.

Suddenly, he was reminded of something. "Mr. Johnston, the driver who struck Miss Riddle in the car without the license plate has been found. He fled the country, but he's getting escorted back now."

"Oh?" Jared's lifted his brows, his gaze sharp. "What about the mastermind?"

Max's gaze turned dark. "I'm sure that we'll know who that is after some interrogation."

An eerie smile flashed across Jared's face. "There's no need to bring him back if that’s the case. Just make him suffer a little at the border."

Max immediately understood what Jared was trying to say because the border was not governed by any law...

‘I guess that person is going to experience hell.'

"Yes, sir. I'll find out who did that in under three days. And if I might add..." Max hesitated as if he had something else to say.

"What is it?"
