Ch. 1616..1620: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1616-1620

Chapter 1616

Daniel looked helpless as he tried to comfort his wife. "Didn't Jared purchase the estate next door? You can see Nicole just about any time you want."

"Yeah, I know..."

Even though Gloria knew that visiting Nicole would not be a problem, she felt awful knowing the fact that her precious daughter would belong to somebody else right after coming back to her for just a while.

Nicole glowered at Jared upon seeing how sorrowful her mother was. ‘I guess he's happy now. I agreed to marry him, but I've...’

Jared smiled wordlessly and he was not bothered by the discontent Nicole had for him. Nicole had no idea how to console Gloria either, so she just watched as Daniel did so.

“Anyway, this marriage is great news to both the Johnston and the Riddle Family, and I'll tell the old man about this tomorrow. Let's just consider this meal an early celebration,” Daniel said as he raised his glass.

Sean took a deep breath and did the same. "Nicole, Mr. Johnston, congratulations.”

Jared raised his glass happily. “Thank you.”

Everybody else raised their glasses in unison and congratulated Nicole, even though they did not feel like doing so.

Nicole looked at her brothers, parents, and grandmother emotionally. She felt elated that she had gotten all of her family member's blessings. It was simply wonderful, and Nicole would never forget that

meal.

After that, Nicole walked Jared to the door, as she reproached him. "You should've asked for my permission before you said those things moments ago.”

Jared smiled. "Well, you said yes anyway, didn't you?"

Nicole choked. "Gross."

Jared stretched his arm out and grabbed her skinny waist. "I'd do anything as long as you'll agree to be together with me. It's worth it, even though I've said something insensitive and offensive to my brothers-in-law.”

Nicole lifted her brows. “You're aware of that too, hun? Why are you still so hasty then? Wouldn't it be better for US to get married when I reach the local legal age?”

Jared looked at her with a serious look on his face. "You're just too perfect. I can't wait anymore.”

And just like that, Jared's words shut her up completely. She felt a little angry, but she could not deny that his words made her feel that she was loved.

"That's enough. You should get going now,” she said, unable to bear with his bossy and cheesy demeanor any longer.

Jared suddenly lifted his brows. "Are you really going to let me leave like that?”

"Huh?" Nicole was confused. "What do you want from me?"

‘To kick your a*s?' she thought.

Jared figured that she did not understand what he was trying to say. So, he swept his gaze across the inside of the mansion before he bent forward and gave her a peck on the lips.

Nicole's face felt very hot as she subconsciously took a step back. "Are you out of your mind? We're at my house!”

‘What if my parents or brothers saw this? How inappropriate would it be?!’ she panicked.

Jared smiled cheekily as he wore a salacious expression on his handsome visage. "Well, I have no choice but to kiss you goodbye since you won't do it to me.”

Then, he got into the car. "Goodbye, wifey.”

"Who are you calling wifey?!" Nicole blushed even harder and the urge to punch him in the face arose.

However, Jared had ordered his driver to leave the place as soon as he had gotten into the car.

Nicole had no choice but to suppress her anger and shyness. Then, she took a deep breath and went back inside.

Her parents had already gone upstairs after she had gotten back in, and Mrs. Wallace Sr. had also returned to her room too. However, her brothers were still waiting for her in the living room.

 

Chapter 1617

As soon as he saw Nicole coming in, Samuel said, "Nicole, are you really going to marry him so soon?"

"Yeah... you just came back home, and we won't be sharing the last name very soon." Spencer added, looking very disappointed.

Stanley looked at them, grabbed them by the back of their necks, and pulled them back. "That's enough. Stop harassing Nicole. Are you two not going to have your own family in the future?"

Samuel slumped over in his seat. "It's not that... I just didn’t expect Nicole to marry so soon when Sean and Steve don't even have a girlfriend..."

Sean's face darkened. "Why did you have to drag me into this? Are you tired of breathing?"

Samuel immediately corrected himself, "N-No... I was saying that Nicole had her life all figured out, and yet, none of us are catching up to her at all."

Five of them were all older than Nicole, but none of them had a girlfriend. The fact that Nicole was going to get married before they would was simply humiliating

Nicole looked at Samuel's face and flashed him a smirk." Samuel, you sound like you're very desperate for a girlfriend."

All of a sudden, Samuel became very awkward. "What? How?

"You complained that you didn't have a female partner not long ago, and now you're jealous that I'm getting married. Tsk, tsk.

Samuel, are you going through puberty right now?"

“Pfft.” Steve laughed and the coffee that he was drinking spurted out of his nose "Ha-ha! I thought so too!”

The atmosphere became a lot happier after Nicole had made fun of Samuel.

"Samuel, many girls in school have written love letters to you, and yet, none of them are good enough?” Stanley joined his siblings to mock Samuel.

Then, Spencer added, "Somebody just gave him another one at the basketball court two days ago... She looked kind of pretty too."

"Shut up!" Samuel stood up, annoyed.

He then pinned Spencer down, trying to shut him up.

Nicole lifted her brows. "Spencer and Samuel are really popular. Looks like I've got to get it done quicker.

Her words stunned everybody.

However, Nicole had gone upstairs before they could interpret what her words meant.

This caused Sean and Steve to look at each other. "What did Nicole say?"

"Something about... getting something done quicker...?"

The five brothers then look at each other simultaneously, though none of them knew what Nicole was talking about.

Soon, the sky turned dark, and a Rolls-Royce was seen coasting on the freeway.

It drove past the cross-river bridge, and Jared saw the part of the bridge where the accident had happened, and had been recently repaired. His eyes became extremely frosty as he called Janus on the phone.Max had ordered him to take care of the driver which had fled at the border and he figured that he might have talked already. Very soon, the call connected, and Jared heard Janus's voice."

“Hello, Mr. Johnston.”

Jared then spoke in a deep, low voice. “Any updates?"

Janus paused for a moment as he looked at the person who was in a complete mess after he had interrogated him. "This man is a professional hitman, and he's working for an organization. He just wouldn't say a word."

Janus was starting to lose his patience after it had taken him close to a week to settle something that was supposed to be done within just three days.

Jared's gaze turned ruthless and cold. "Bury him alive then.”

Janus had put Jared on speaker when they were conversing. Marked for death, the hired gun, who was covered in blood shuddered upon hearing what Jared had said.

‘I guess my time is up...’

A vicious look suddenly flashed across Janus's face. "Okay. I'll give him one last chance..."

After that, he hung up.

Jared did not bother ask any more questions, but he knew that the way Janus in which dealt with the other professional killers was just as brutal as the methods employed by those during the medieval times.

 

Chapter 1618

Because of that, Jared believed that the person would speak.

And true enough, once he had arrived home, he received a text from Janus.

[He's spoken. It's the heiress of the Fisher Group, Fiorella Fisher.]

Jared's eyes lit up in a blaze thereafter. ‘Fiorella Fisher! I guess she hasn't learned her lesson after everything that had happened at the banquet. I can't believe the nerve she has in trying to hurt and kill Nicole! Well, there'll be consequences to her actions...’

After that, Jared dialed Max's number at once.

In their residence, the Fisher family was busy entertaining a few big families and the directors of some huge corporations that they had spent so much effort trying to establish a relationship with.

Fiorella was dressed in a revealing and enchanting outfit, and she was feeling very comfortable among the elites. It made her feel a lot better after she had been rejected and humiliated in front of everybody in the banquet, and now, she just somehow felt very good about herself. She had regained her confidence after socializing and exchanging toasts with those in the crowd.

A big fat man was talking shop with Fiorella when he grabbed her hand tipsily.

He then caressed her hand while ogling her. “It's a deal then, Miss Fisher. You'd better make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Rest assured, Mr. Gordon. I'll handle this personally. There’s nothing to be worried about...” Fiorella said, trying to hide how disgusted she was.

She was doing everything she could to appease these people, but deep down, she desperately wanted to push that man away. Colton was entertaining his guests in the crowd too. He felt very uncomfortable when he saw someone taking advantage of his daughter, and was about to walk over when he heard a loud blast from outside the house.

"Boom!"

Everybody was startled, and even the fat man who was caressing Fiorella's hand flinched, before he turned his gaze to the yard.

"W-What was that?!"

Fiorella was shocked too. They had security and bodyguards out there, and so, she could not figure out what that blast could possibly be.

And before she knew it, she saw a curtain of flames outside the window.

At the very next second, the guards outside shouted, "This is bad! There's a fire!"

"Put it out! Call 911 now!”

The shouts scared everyone in the mansion, and they all began panicking.

"There's a fire! Run!" A few of the rich women began scattering into different directions, and other big shots began to sober up too as they hurried outside in a desperate attempt to flee.

"Fiorella! Darling! Run!” Colton immediately rushed over to his daughter and wife.

Then, he grabbed their hands and began running out of the house.

He saw a huge flame burning as soon as he was outside. Apparently, somebody had doused his yard in gasoline, and the blaze was heading toward them. As it turned out, the explosion moments ago had

come from one of the cars outside.

"We're doomed! We can't get out of here! Turn around!" Hugo yelled as everybody backed up.

Fiorella got so scared, that she retreated too.

Everyone in the house was trapped. The only thing they could do was head inside and wait for the guards to put the fire out. Hugo looked at Colton and Fiorella angrily, "Mr. Fisher! What is the meaning of this? Are you trying to murder us all?!"

There were so many influential people in the house, and now, a fire had broken out. To make matters worse, all of them had nowhere else to go.

"No! Stay calm! I've called the fire department! The fire will be taken care of in no time!” Colton shouted, trying to keep everyone calm.

However, Fiorella was too frightened. She just could not figure out who would do such a thing to her in San Joto other than Jared and Nicole. Then, she figured that they must already have found out that she was the one who had planned to send Nicole off the bridge now that they had gotten to her.

‘They're going to kill me today!’ she thought to herself.

"I can’t die here... Let me out!" she yelled.

Then, Fiorella grabbed the tail end of her dress and rushed outside as if she had lost her mind, while Colton could not stop Fiorella in time as Hugo would just not stop pestering him.

Chapter 1619

Colton was baffled as he watched helplessly, while his stark raving mad daughter dashed out.

"Fiorella!" He turned around in an attempt to grab hold of her, but unfortunately, he could only manage to grab a piece of her dress.

Fiorella sprinted out into the open anyway, forgetting that she was wearing a lace dress, and that there was gasoline under her feet. She thought there was just a bit of it, and that she could easily get past after sprinting away.

However, she was completely engulfed in flames as soon as she stepped into the yard.

"Argh!!!"

The flames covered her, devouring her gown, and the searing sensation caused her to shriek in pain. There, she completely forgot about the reason why she had ran out and immediately fell onto the ground, which was covered in large puddles of gasoline.

"Miss Fiorella!!” Shocked, her bodyguards immediately ran up to her with fire extinguishers in hand to put the flames out.

And though the fire was soon extinguished, it took a few bodyguards to do so and bring her out of the area.

By then, the flames had rendered Fiorella naked. Her skin was charred, and her hair was in a great mess, emanating from it a stench most dreadful. At that moment, she looked just like a vagabond.

The excruciating pain that she felt traumatized her to the extent that she did not even care about the fact that she was naked anymore.

All she did was curl up on the ground and yelled, "It hurts... Call the ambulance!"

"Fiorella!" As soon as her mother heard her cries, she was prepared to run out as well.

However, Colton stopped her. "Are you crazy? Do you want to get injured too?!"

“But Fiorella..."

Mrs. Fisher then calmed down. Though she was heartbroken, she did not give into her impulse.

Soon after, the fire brigade and the ambulance arrived. At that point, the fire had already reached the house, and the firemen rushed in at once. Fortunately for the Fishers, Colton and the rest of them were hiding in the furthest washroom in the house, and thus, none of them were harmed.

The only one who had been wounded was Fiorella, and she was already being carried into the ambulance.

The second her parents reached her, she was barely recognizable anymore...

"Fiorella..." Her mother was so shocked that she passed out.

Colton grabbed her and entered the ambulance, taking his wife and his daughter to the hospital.

And just like that, on that dark and faithful night, the Fisher family was destined for doom, with the news spreading during the very next morning itself.

According to the news, there was a massive blaze, which had scorched half of their mansion. The heiress, Fiorella Fisher, was critically injured and had been taken to the hospital.

The instant Daniel saw the report, he stared at his children in shock. “This happened to the Fishers?!"

Both Daniel and Sean were worried that the Fishers would plot to do something dastardly to them. However, in just one night, a tragedy had struck the Fishers.

Nicole was slightly shocked as well. After all, who would do such a thing to the Fishers at a time like this?

Besides, judging by the scene, it seems that there were a lot of big shots over there too. It's pretty obvious that it was planned...’

Nicole pondered hard and came to a conclusion, that the only possible culprit was Jared. But he didn't have to be so brutal, did he?"

Fiorella was obsessed her physical appearance. If she was that badly burned, there would almost be no chance of recovery.

There was an 80% chance that she was going to be disfigured...

‘Fiorella must be going crazy now, isn't she?’ Nicole thought.

"I'm done eating, so I'll be heading to school now." Nicole took her bag once she was done with her breakfast.

"Hey, me too!" Samuel wanted to run after her, but as he was not done eating, he was a little too late.

Nicole took this time to give Jared a call outside.

Right as Jared answered her call, Nicole asked, "Was Fiorella the person behind the incident at the bridge?"

Chapter 1620

Other than his desire to exact vengeance upon Fiorella, Nicole did not think that Jared had any other reason to do this to them.

Jared was slightly taken aback as he did not expect Nicole to be able to make the correct guess so soon.

He smiled. "As I'd thought, my wife is really smart."

"That's enough, don't call me that." Nicole warned, not liking what he had said as title did not suit a young woman like her at all.

"My lover?" Jared teased her.

"Shut up. I'm hanging up,” Nicole finished, for all she wanted was a confirmation for her suspicions.

Then, she immediately hung up without saying another word.

After that, Samuel and Spencer ran up to her. “Nicole, you ate too fast, man."

To follow Nicole's pace was indeed tiring for them both.

To add to that, Samuel still had a sandwich in his hand.

"You just eat too much," Nicole retorted.

"Me?!" Samuel was at a loss for words, but he could not deny it, as what Nicole said was a fact.

Spencer laughed. "Yes, someone finally said it.”

"Zip it!" Samuel shoved Spencer aside and got into the car.

Spencer followed suit and the trio went to school happily.

They spent the morning peacefully as nothing much happened, but when afternoon arrived, Nicole received a call to attend physical education.

Everyone scattered excitedly as they went out to play, and that was because they only had one physical education class every week. For that reason, everyone was enjoying themselves.

Some of them played basketball, and some played soccer. The girls, however, were doing physical training with their teacher.

As Nicole was paying attention to her teacher, she felt something flying toward them.

Being the agile woman she was, she could dodge the object on time. However, the teacher wasn't as fortunate, as it then went straight toward his head.

"Damn it! Who did it?!" the teacher yelled.

Everyone fell silent at once.

They looked toward their teacher and realized that he had a volleyball in his hand.

"Sorry, sir! We didn’t know how to play, so we missed!" Raine walked over and apologized to the teacher.

It was then that the students realized that Raine’s class was having volleyball training on the other side of the field.

Nicole's gaze turned dark. That ball was hurled with force, so it was nothing not just a case of a ball being thrown by mere accident.

The teacher saw Raine and realized that a girl had thrown it, and thus, he chose to let it slide. "Be careful when you play! What do you think is going to happen if you hurt someone?"

"Got it." Raine nodded as she mentally cursed. ‘F*cking Nicole! I got lectured by this teacher because she dodged it!’

Indeed, it had made her livid.

Noticing that Nicole's class was just doing some simple exercises, Raine quickly came up with an idea. "Sir, there aren't a lot of girls in my class. Can we merge with yours for our volleyball training? Playing volleyball is a form of exercise anyway."

Raine acted cute as she held the ball, and though neither Raine nor Snow were the prettiest girls in school any longer, the male teacher still bought into Raine’s act.

He looked over at his class awkwardly and asked, “Are you girls up for it?"

It was hard to think that anyone would be up for it. The school volleyball team consisted mostly of senior girls.

Even if the juniors joined the team, they would only be benched as not many of them knew how to play volleyball.

"Don't be afraid. We'll teach them, so you can relax a little, sir. After all, it's normal to merge classes like this," Raine added

In their school, many classes would merge for activities, so it was not something out of the ordinary.

The teacher agreed. "Fine, there really aren't a lot of girls in your class anyway. Well then, your class will be a team, and my class another. Let's play a friendly match."

"Huh?" Lulu and the rest of them immediately wore a painful expression.
