Ch. 161..165: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 161-165

Chapter 161

When Vivian heard about the matter regarding the exercise book, she thought of the instance she tossed the book onto the floor and could not help but to clench the sides of her skirt. She had no idea if Nicole had come to complain or not.

Seeing that she remained silent, Ms. Emerson continued, “Your neighbor, Oliver is usually calm and collected. He was worried about it, so he came to tell me that you were in a bad mood and hoped that I could counsel you, but you came here looking for me before I did.”

When Vivian heard this, her eyes widened. ‘My neighbor, that meek Oliver, actually came to Ms. Emerson to talk about me?’ she thought.

Seeing her shocked look, Ms. Emerson looked up and sighed, “Vivian, I have high hopes for you too, don’t let me down, okay?”

Vivian nodded as if she was in a trance as she left the office. Yet, the entirety of her attention was affixed to that “too” word.

‘Who else does Ms. Emerson has high hopes for?’

‘Nicole?!’

As she thought of this, her chest felt like it was about to explode. ‘What right does Nicole have to be on equal footing with me in Ms. Emerson’s eyes?’ She hissed to herself. ‘Nicole has both a lousy attitude and grades, so what does she have to compare with me?’

When Vivian got back to class, she immediately questioned Oliver with her eyes red. “Oliver, why did you snitch on me to Ms. Emerson? Don’t you know that’s shameless of you!”

The moment Vivian heard about Ms. Emerson specifically mentioning Nicole’s exercise book, she thought that it was Oliver who told Ms. Emerson that she was the one who did that, causing Ms. Emerson’s attitude toward her to change.

Vivian’s neighbor looked at her at a loss. He was only worried about her and was too embarrassed to tell her directly, so he just briefly told Ms. Emerson that Vivian was in a poor mood and not much else.

Seeing Vivian was about to cry, Oliver got even more anxious. He wanted to help her wipe her tears off, but she instead coldly took a step back as she glared at him. “You shameless cretin! Stay away from me!”

Oliver’s hand froze in midair as a bitter smile appeared on his face.

‘It was always like this,’ He thought. Her special fondness for Gary notwithstanding, she was always cold as frost toward him.

He lowered his hand as he said somewhat softly, “Vivian, I’m sorry, I was just worried about you…”

Vivian sneered as she heard that, “Worried about me? You’re so worried that you snitched on me to Ms. Emerson? Who needs your disgusting concern?”

As she said that, she walked toward Nicole, her eyes aflame.

‘It was because of this bitch,’ she thought. ‘If it weren’t for her, Gary would not be acting like he had been bewitched, and I wouldn’t be scolded by Ms. Emerson, who had always doted on me. All of this was because of Nicole!’

Seeing that Vivian had no intention to deescalate things and instead walked toward her, Nicole’s eyes grew colder.

Oliver stood behind Vivian as he looked at her turning away without as much as looking at him. As if sensing the gaze of everyone around him, he lightly clenched his fist.

Vivian walked over to Nicole without saying anything as she immediately raised her hand to slap the latter.

“You b*tch!”

She had already stretched her arm out, and if this slap landed on Nicole’s face, it would definitely be a hard slap.

‘Best if I can just ruin her pretty face!’ she viciously thought to herself.

 

Chapter 162

Everyone watched with bated breath at the scene. Vivian was their class rep and was very popular in class. Nicole must have done something to make her so angry.

Almost everyone sided with Vivian. ‘This is going to be a good slap as Nicole had indeed caused much trouble for Class B. She was also so good at seducing men that she deserved this slap,’

A chill appeared in Nicole’s eyes. She originally could not be bothered with Vivian, but the latter kept pushing her, challenging her limits.

Seeing that her slap was about to land on Nicole’s face, a flash of glee appeared in Vivian’s eyes.

Nicole not only did not dodge, but she simply just raised her left hand extremely quickly and grabbed Vivian’s incoming right hand.

Following a slothful raise on her eyebrow was a terrifying sharp glint in her eyes.

“You want to learn how to slap? Let me teach you.”

Immediately after, Nicole casually raised her right hand as she struck Vivian’s face like a bolt of lightning

–

Vivian wanted to block, but it was too late as she could only watch as the slap connected against her face with wide-opened eyes.

Nicole did not look like she used any strength, and her hit did not look like it hurt much at all, yet Vivian’s face swelled at speed visible to the naked eye, making her look like an inflated balloon, turning her originally pretty face hideous.

Vivian still did not realize what had happened as she looked on disdainfully at Nicole. “And , here I thought you were skilled. You are actually nothing!”

Just as she wanted to say something else, she found herself unable to open her mouth at all.

A sudden pain then surged across her face. Although there was no damage on the skin, the inside had suffered serious damage,

Vivian touched her face in disbelief, she wanted to scream, yet she could not find her voice.

When she saw everyone lookdng at her strangely, especially Gary, who was seated at the back, also giving her a frown, Vivian covered her face with her hand in panic as she could no longer be bothered with Nicole and rushed out of the classroom.

Upon seeing Vivian fleeing the classroom in panic, everyone looked at Nicole in tear. They never thought that she was that terrifying

Vivian had wanted to slap Nicole but got a perfect demonstration on herself instead.

Nicole looked at Vivian’s fleeing silhouette without many expressions, the chill in her eyes still lingering

She had controlled her strength well. This wound may look serious, but it only needed three days to heal. Vivian would most likely stop messing with her for a while after losing face before the entire class.

That was a hard and memorable lesson Nicole had taught Vivian!

After class, Nicole walked in the direction of the café. Her pace was not too fast, yet barely anyone could catch up to her. Her face was calm as if nothing could affect her.

Just as she walked into an alley, her eyebrows frowned a little.

Her surrounding was quiet, yet Nicole hissed coldly.

“Show yourself.”

The other part did not seem to believe that Nicole had discovered him as he hid somewhere and did not move.

A cold glint flashed past her eyes as she quickly turned around and kicked toward a corner not too far ahead of her.

The wall shook violently, and the person hiding inside was so terrified he ran out. Nicole’s speed was, however, faster than him as she quickly grabbed his arm and tugged it as her other hand moved forward and locked onto the person’s throat.

la just one fluid movement, she held the person in a deathlock.

The man was shocked by her sldlls as he tried to use his hand to pry her hand away from his throat as if wanting to say something.

 

Chapter 163

Nicole noticed that this person’s movement was quite random, and he did not seem like a person who knew martial arts at all. ‘Who would send someone like this to kill her?’ she wondered.

As she thought of that, she loosened her grip slightly, just enough to lock the person but still allowed the person to speak .

“Speak. Who sent you?”

The other party took a few deep breaths. Nicole’s hand may be slender, but he could not free himself no matter how he tried. He had thought that Nicole was just a dour tech nerd and did not expect her to be so strong!

Seeing that he did not speak, she faintly signaled that she was increasing the strength of her grip.

He immediately blurted out. “Lucifer! Stop! It’s me, Specter!”

‘Specter?’

Nicole was stunned for a moment, but she still did not loosen her grip. “What’s your proof?”

Specter coughed a few times. Fearing that she might continue to hold him in this chokehold, he frantically said, “We have previously done a chain tracking of white from Mecrounia. Three years ago, you tried to fix the technical loopholes of Hustuaburg’s space agency. And most recently, you tried to act against the Johnstons and almost compromised the JJ Johnston Group’s data vault, affecting their product launch, costing them a hundred million bucks!”

When Nicole heard all that, the suspicion in her heart slowly faded away.

Indeed, only Specter would know that she did all these.

Seeing that Nicole was lowering her guard, Specter cheekily quipped, “Lucifer, I made so much effort to run away from home to see you, and this is your meeting gift for me?”

When Nicole heard this, she speechlessly twitched the corners of her mouth as she let him go.

# was only when Specter stood up straight and looked resentfully at her that Nicole realized that he looked younger than him, with a childlike babyface

Recalling what she had done with him thus far, Nicole felt a little conflicted.

‘Is this person an adult?” she wondered.

Seemingly understanding her gaze, Specter said irritably, “What are you looking at? I’m already eighteen! Don’t think I don’t know you were already in the business when you were

fifteen!”

Nicole raised her eyebrows and motioned for him to continue speaking.

Seeing her expression, Specter realized what he had exposed, and his voice became softer and softer.

“I didn’t mean to look into your background, but someone had been tracking me down recently, and you were not online. I had no other way to contact you, so I thought of finding your real-world address…”

Nicole knew that he would not lie to her. Looking at his babyface and thinking of her seemingly mature partner on the internet, there was a disconcerting sense in her heart that she could not put to words.

“But…”

Specter looked at Nicole as he said seriously, “Lucifer, did you cross someone powerful or something? When they could not track you down, they started to track me instead. I’m not as skilled as you and

almost got tracked down a few times!”

Thinking of her few nemeses, Nicole squinted a little, but she did not dwell on the topic as she said faintly, “Have you eaten yet?”

Specter immediately shook his head. He had sneaked out from home and ran all the way to Royal Creek Institute to squat with her. He had no time to eat at all.

Nicole rolled her eyes at him as she slothfully said, “I’ll take you out for a meal. We’ll talk as we eat.”

The two walked on the path inside the Royal Creek Institute as Nicole recalled the Grove that she was taken to previously. The place was both quiet and had good sound insulation.

So, she decided to take Specter there for a meal.

Specter had a very cute baby face, and when he kept quiet, there was a look of innocent deception. The taxi driver looked at the two a couple of times. At first, he was worried that Nicole was going to do something bad to Specter, but when he saw Nicole’s face, he was dumbfounded,

‘Ah, forget it. The girl is prettier than the boy. I don’t have to worry.’ He thought.

Chapter 164

Along the way, Nicole observed Specter, feeling that he was not interested in anything, nor was he looking at the bustling sights of San Joto. She then had some thoughts inside her.

want

After arriving at the place, Nicole took Specter in. There were few people there at the time, so the two went to a private room on the second floor and ordered a few dishes before Nicole asked.

“Come on, out with it. How did you find me?”

Specter looked at Nicole’s somewhat close face as he then turned away and said somewhat squeamishly, “You’re too close.”

Nicole paused for a moment before impassively shifting a little bit to the side before asking,” Better?”

Specter’s ears were flushed red as he glanced at Nicole and said, “It’s a hotel you once stayed at Nottingbrook State that probably required real- name registration. I found you using that name.”

Nottingbrook State?

Nicole’s expression changed a little. She did not expect the problem to occur there.

She had always been cautious, but she had a high-difficulty mission back then, and she did not have the time to delete her personal information from the hotel’s database after the mission was done.

Thankfully it was just a name. If Specter was not her partner and had given him a second-level key to allow him some decryption ability against her IP, he would never have been able to follow her trail to the hotel and get her name.

But even so, she still had to go to Nottingbrook State.

Specter was no stranger to Nicole’s caution, and the moment he saw her expression, he said, ” You’re going to Nottingbrook State, right? Take me with you!”

Nicole glanced at him. She had always worked alone. Plus, bringing a kid along is nothing but trouble.

She then said impassively, “Not bringing a kid along. Too much trouble.”

Specter was so pissed he stopped eating, “Youre the same age as me, just a tew months older! I don’t care. If you don’t take me along, I’ll sell your information to H! He is looking for you across the whole world!

As he said that, he was no longer nervous as he crossed his leg and stared at Nicole with a look of ‘What can you do to me, huh?’.

Nicole looked back at him and said with a half-smile. “That beating earlier was not enough?”

‘He dares to threaten me?’ she thought.

Specter was immediately spooked. He forgot that Nicole was not the tech nerd he imagined but a very skilled femme fatale!

‘It was all your fault.’ He hissed as he thought, ‘Why did you register all your gender details as male. Even the hotel only has your name. It was only natural that I took you for a guy.’ As he looked at Nicole’s beautiful, contemplative face, Specter was a little stunned.

Although his parents, who would beat him as soon as they saw him, were not kind to him, they still taught him what they needed to. Hence, he had seen plenty of pretty girls before. Nevertheless, he still could not help but get lost watching Nicole’s face.

Her beautiful eyes had a natural brilliance to them. The light in her eyes was clear yet sharp, as if it could pierce through a person’s heart, causing everyone under her gaze to feel a little numb.

It hurt, but still, he could not help but look at them.

Specter lowered his head, a faint tinge of confusion floating in his eyes.

‘With Nicole being this skilled, will I be a burden if I follow her?’ He pursed his lips at the thought of this. The fork in his hand stopped moving. Although he was very hungry, he had lost his appetite,

Seeing that he was not eating, Nicole frowned a little. “Eat up.” After that, she took her phone and walked out as she made a phone call.

 

Chapter 165

“Book two tickets to the nearest airport to Nottingbrook State, and then get a car to pick me

up.”

It was Friday today, and after some thoughts, she sent a message to Ms. Emerson to ask for leave for the afternoon session.

After that, she returned to the room and looked at Specter’s still entranced face as she said,” Eat up. Come with me once we’re done eating.”

Specter was surprised when he heard that as he turned to Nicole. When she saw the smile on his small face, the coldness in her eyes slowly faded away.

She patted his head and picked up her cutlery as she started eating as well.

“The dishes here are not bad.”

Knowing that he could go with Nicole, Specter looked up and once again had the desire to talk with her. “Not as good as the cook at my place.”

As he said that, he looked at Nicole with eyes full of expectation that she would continue to ask more questions.

Nicole did not follow his wish but instead wiped the corner of her mouth. “If you’re done, let’s

Specter responded with some dejection. He thought that Nicole would be curious about him during their first meeting, but she was not as excited as he was.

To him, Lucifer was both his master and his friend. She was a legend among hackers and was the most difficult peak for him to climb.

Now that he had finally met her, he was naturally very excitable.

Nicole took him downstairs as he said, somewhat begrudgingly, behind her. “Nicole, why aren’t you interested in me at all?”

When Nicole heard what he said, she did not turn back but instead said. “I thought you were hoping that I wouldn’t ask.”

After all, when the two were on missions, they had never divulged any of their personal information. It was like a tacit understanding without words. Not asking each other’s true details was the rule that both Lucifer and Specter would abide by beyond the screen,

Thinking that since Lucifer had come to look for her, Nicole turned around and looked at him as she said, “However, I’ve already got your information earlier on.”

It was not only just his information. If Nicole really wanted, she could dig out details of his ancestors as well.

However, out of respect for his privacy, Nicole did not look at much of it but instead just simply took a glance at his real name.

Looking at the tongue-tied Specter, there was a rare tinge of laughter in her voice.

“Hello, Zeke Guzman.”

Zeke looked at Nicole in a daze, seemingly unable to react.

It was only when Nicole had drawn a distance from him that he quickly followed, “Eh, Nicole, wait for me!”

It was the weekend, and after school, Snow and Raine were picked up by the car sent from the Riddle family

Snow was still carrying a thermos container with her with a grim expression on her face. She had originally planned to give this to Harvey, but after waiting until everyone was gone at the bottom of his unit, someone told her that Harvey had taken leave for today due to some emergency and did not come to school.

When she remembered that Harvey’s phone was turned off when she called him, her grip upon the container tightened as she smiled at the person and thanked him for telling her that before leaving embarrassedly.

Harvey would never tell her what he was up to.

Fortunately, he still spoke up for her before Mr. Wyance. That meant he cared about her, and that was enough.

Snow tried to calm herself that it did not matter, but the moment she got into her room, she smashed the thermos container into the ground, shattering it into pieces. The hot soup splashed out, staining the majestic carpet with blotches of stain.

Raine was shocked by Snow’s sudden tantrum and immediately asked, “Snow, what’s the matter?”
