Ch. 1641..1645: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1641-1645

Chapter 1641

At that moment, Bradley overheard the girls' conversation and sauntered over in envy. "You girls attended a banquet together? Why didn't you bring me along?"

Nicole rolled her eyes at him. "You're a man and you want to be someone guy's partner?"

"Bradley, could you be bothered to take an initiative?” Lulu told him off, unable to stand him anymore.

June also seemed annoyed.

Hearing this, Bradley nodded. "That's right, I don't take initiatives. But it'll be great too if I get to be Nicole's plus one. N

"In your dreams!" The both of them stared at him in unison.

However, Bradley was still smiling foolishly.

At that point, Bradley realized that Gary's desk was empty, while Wayne and Jack were still phoning him.

Unable to help it, he softly asked, "Gary is rarely absent from school. The new semester has just started, and he's skipping classes without applying for leave already?"

"Yeah, could he be facing an emergency?”

At that moment, Lulu instantly thought of something she had known and said, "I'm not sure, but this morning, I got word from the warden that the surveillance cameras were not functioning yesterday. The Finley family is also in charge of the school's security system. Perhaps Gary was also busy with that?’

When Nicole heard that, she turned her gaze toward Gary's desk once more.

She knew that the computers and accessories in school were all from the Finley family. However, she did not know that the school had gotten the security system from them too.

If Gary was in charge of the school's security system, the person she had engaged with last night was...

At that thought, Nicole's face turned dark.

‘If that was really the case, it would explain Gary's absence,’ she thought. 'He probably only managed to remove the wall in the morning.’

If she had known, she would not have set such a difficult one up for him.

It was only in the afternoon that Gary finally attended class with dark and heavy bags under his eyes.

Although he had slept through the entire morning, he was still yawning away.

When Wayne and Jack saw him, they immediately went up to him and bombarded him with questions. "Boss, what happened?

Why did you skip class this morning? You did not pick up your phone either."

In reply, Gary yawned and said, "I overslept and forgot to apply for leave.”

Once he had spoken, he rested his body on the table in exhaustion. This prompted Nicole to shoot him a casual glance.

Noticing that Nicole was staring at him, Gary began blinking as though he had found something suspicious. Usually, Nicole would ignore him, and so, it would make no sense for her to even glance at him. However, her glimpse was fleeting, for she then turned away about a second later.

Noticing this, Gary shook his head and told himself not to think too much about it.

But at that moment, Wayne approached Gary, and in a low voice, he said, “Boss, something major happened in the afternoon.

Someone had spread a video clip from one of the surveillance footages. It seems that the senior year students had Purposely thrown a flowerpot from one of the upper floors. Someone even got hit and the video has been leaked."

"There were leaked footages from a surveillance camera?” Gary was stunned.

‘Is it coincidental? The school's system was hacked last night and a surveillance footage has been leaked today! I suppose

Lucifer had hacked into the system just to get this particular video!’ he inferred.

At that thought, Gary immediately browsed through the school's forum.

He wanted to find out who the person who had uploaded the video was, but when he clicked the profile, he only found a ghost account.

"I don’t care who you are, I must find you!" Gary's eyes were filled with rage as he gritted his teeth.

That person had caused him to lose an entire night of sleep, and for that he would never let that person off the hook easily. He was determined to discover who Lucifer truly was.

With that thought in mind, he stood up and walked into the computer lab. He wanted to use the school’s computer to trace the person's IP address.

Wayne and Jack heard Gary mumbling and felt that something was off, so they followed after Gary to find out about what had happened.

 

Chapter 1642

Nicole's gaze turned deep and dark when she saw Gary walking away from her.

She could already guess what Gary was about to do. 'l guess he'll be disappointed again.’

Indeed, Gary was attempting to track her IP address down after going to the computer room. However, Nicole had erased all traces of her online presence, leaving Gary with nothing at all.

As expected, Gary came back with his head bowed, feeling devastated.

Everybody in the school then heard that the two girls who had deliberately thrown the flowerpot down were given severe punishments before school ended.

Nicole decided to leave early because she had something else to do. Meanwhile Lulu and June were making their way downstairs while Gary, Wayne, and Jack happened to be just behind them.

Suddenly, June spoke, "Lulu, I heard the two girls who got severe punishments are from the twelfth grade and they're in the same volleyball team as Nicole too..."

"Yeah. I watched the video, and it was probably them who had thrown the pot from the fourth floor yesterday," Lulu said without thinking.

"A flowerpot? Could it be... the flowerpot that almost hit you? " June was shocked as she looked at Lulu.

It was only then that Lulu remembered everything that had happened yesterday. "Oh, yeah! I almost forgot about that. Nicole saved me!"

"Yeah, and she was hurt too..."

Gary frowned after he heard that Nicole had been injured, and instinctively, he hastened his gait. "Did you say that Nicole got hurt yesterday?”

Lulu and June fell silent after their conversation had been interrupted.

They turned around and were stunned as soon as they saw the three guys.

Wayne took a step forward and asked, "Why are you just standing there? Answer him."

June paused, while Lulu answered Gary as she thought that he was just worried about Nicole. "Yes... the flowerpot fell on her because she tried to save me yesterday after school."

Gary's heart sank. He had been very tired, and he did not notice that anything was wrong with Nicole.

Then, something came to mind. 'The surveillance system was hacked last night, and the video of somebody throwing the flowerpot down was leaked today. Even though I couldn't track that hacker down... I didn't know that Nicole was the victim!’

Gary was appalled as soon as he thought about that, and suddenly, he remembered that he had seen the same signature on another object...which was Nicole's book!

‘Is Nicole...Lucifer?!" he asked himself as he wobbled a little.

Fortunately, Wayne acted in time and grabbed him.

"Gary, are you okay?” Wayne looked at Gary with concern as he thought that he was exhausted.

Gary shook his head. "I'm fine..."

He was simply overwhelmed, but he was able to calm down soon after.

‘That's impossible. No matter how smart Nicole is...she's only eighteen years old. How could she be one of the best hackers in the world? Besides, she also said that she only participated in the computing competition because the teacher had no other candidates in mind. She had no plans to be a part of it at all. It can’t be. No way,’ he told himself.

Eventually, he regained his composure by forcing himself to think differently.

"Okay, that's all I needed to know. I was just curious," he said.

Lulu nodded. Then, she grabbed June's arm and was about to leave when she abruptly turned around and said to Gary," You look very feeble. You should take more supplements."

Chapter 1643

Then, Lulu left the school with June.

After a while, Jack realized what Lulu had said. "What did she mean? Was she implying that you're weak and impotent?

Gary glared at him. "You're the weak one, not me!"

Jack became very confused after Gary had shouted at him." Hey, why did you say that about me? Lulu was the one who made fun of you, not me!"

In response, Gary ignored him and stormed off.

Wayne rolled his eyes at Jack. "You're so stupid. That's not what she meant at all!"

And just like that, Jack was flooded with embarrassment. "I- I guess I misheard"

Then, Wayne shook his head in defeat and followed Gary from behind.

"Hey, guys! Wait for me!" Jack yelled, after which they left the school noisily.

After leaving the school, June looked in the direction of the three and shook her head. "They used to be the school bullies, but they've become nothing but stooges now."

"Yeah..." Lulu laughed.

Then, June began laughing at them too.

Nicole had left the school before they did because she had received a text from Anna, telling her to make her way to Holder Entertainment.

She was not available in the morning, so she proceeded to go there after school, and soon after, she arrived at the headquarters.

Nicole lifted her eyebrows upon seeing how huge the building before her eyes was.

The Holder family had earned most of their wealth from doing underground businesses.

Based on what she knew, the sole purpose for which the Holders had established Holder Entertainment was Lloyd.

Nachelle was both the chairman and the director, and Llyod was both the CEO and the star of the company.

Other important roles in the company were held by other members of the Holder family. Thus, the Holders got to make every decision in the company.

As soon as Nicole arrived at the reception counter, Anna went to bring her upstairs.

Then, she brought Nicole to Lloyd's office.

Nicole was a little surprised when she saw Llyod welcoming her personally. "I only came here to report myself. Shouldn't I be meeting with my colleagues? Why are you here to see me personally?"

Llyod looked at Nicole, trying not to show her how much he missed her and pretended to be calm. "We’ve got some updates, so I thought that it'd be better for us to talk in person."

Nicole's gaze darkened when she heard what Llyod had said.

"What did you get?" She had been waiting for Lloyd's update for the past few days, and had expected that the news would arrive sooner.

Llyod poured her a cup of coffee and slowly sat down across from her.

"It's probably the same group of people who attacked you and stole the Braves away. Even though I don't have enough evidence, rumor has it that they might be brothers," Lloyd explained.

"Brothers." Nicole frowned.

There were plenty of secret organizations across the globe, but not many of them were operated by siblings.

"Yeah. However, it is off the record, and I don't think anybody out there knows about this." Lloyd's gaze darkened. "These two individuals are very unpredictable. Nicole, are you sure you want to make enemies out of them?"

Nicole's eyes darkened. "I'm not trying to be their enemy, but they're a threat to world peace. The Zane Organization has got to do something as the international police."

Even though she had managed to secure the crest this time, her enemies had gotten their hands on the Braves. The consequences would be unimaginable if the Braves were used with ill intentions. That was why she had to find out where the Braves were and retrieve Carl's possessions.

Llyod took a deep breath, and a look of worry appeared on his face.

He did not want Nicole to put herself in danger at all. However, he would do anything he could to fulfill all of Nicole's requests.

After all, she had saved him before and there was really not much that he could do to return the favor.

"I understand. I'll help you." Llyod switched the monitor in his office on to show Nicole some pictures.

"If I'm not mistaken, you once helped the Curley Corporation out by dealing with someone by the name of Cara in Lanningbourg, right?" he asked.

Chapter 1644

Nicole knew very well what Lloyd was capable of, and he would be able to find out just about anything if he wanted to.

Thus, she did not deny it. "Yes, I did."

"This organization is called the Raven, and I figured that you've already heard of them since you’ve crossed paths with them."

Nicole's gaze darkened. She did not expect that Lloyd would even know about that.

'The Holder family knows what the international police is up to. They're really something else...’ she thought.

"However, they've only sent some lackeys to the Brave conference. There's a different group of people who are ganging up on Curly now. They're the four titans of the

Raven. Other than Cara, there is also Ara, Bara, and Dara."

Nicole squinted. She could even guess that Cara was just one of the many leaders in the Raven.

"I guess that your team couldn't find anything about this because all of the cameras along the road were destroyed and the system was corrupted.

My men had spent a great deal of effort before we could even get the footage from a car's dashcam.

We got these images from them, and they've been enhanced to a higher definition..."

Nicole looked at the trio's faces, and with a glum expression on her face, she asked, "Are these the other three leaders?"

"Yes, they are. They had brought the other men and robbed all of the Braves," Lloyd said.

Nicole clenched her fists tight. "The Raven deployed all of its members for our Braves. They really do have high expectations of us, huh?"

"Clearly, they have been plotting to acquire the Braves for some time.

In addition, they had planned their routes very carefully too.

We can't track them at all in the open seas, so we have no idea where the Braves had gone to..." Lloyd said, sounding a little disappointed.

Nicole did not blame him at all. "You've done a lot. My team couldn't find out exactly where the Braves are either."

Then, Lloyd shook his head. "But my men have discovered a little something about them on an island in the open sea and we even got a geographer to anticipate their route."

After that, Lloyd unfolded a map and highlighted three routes on it.

"If they've arrived at this island, and intend to return to Hustuaburg without anybody knowing, their only option is to head to the extrajudicial region.

So, these three ports would be to best spots for them to disembark," he continued.

A look of surprise flashed across Nicole's face. She was not expecting the Holder family to be so powerful and resourceful.

'They even know so much about the extrajudicial regions!' she thought.

Then, her gaze darkened as soon as she looked at Lloyd again.

Nicole realized that the Holder family was way more capable than she had thought. 'I'm afraid that Zane would consider the Holders as a threat if he knew about this...'

However, Nicole was actually impressed by Lloyd because of how much effort he had put in to help her.

On the other hand, Lloyd was happy after he noticed the look on Nicole's face, in which she spaced out while staring at him.

'I can finally get Nicole's attention after so long,' he thought.

He could not help but to further the discussion about the Raven.

He told Nicole that they had been stealing cutting edge artillery and war weapons before selling them to the mafias and other underground organizations, making themselves an enemy of the international government.

"How could such a dangerous organization go unnoticed after such a long time?

I guess the international police would never find out how big of a threat they are if they didn't catch our attention." Nicole took a deep breath.

She had made a big mistake by thinking that only individuals who would shoot and kill were the threat, failing to notice that they were just a bunch of pawns.

'These people who've been hiding behind the scenes while stirring the pot are the worst criminals!' she surmised.

"What about those people who attacked me?" she asked.

They were not from the Raven, and Nicole could not figure out who it could be.

"They're from an organization called The Crow. Rumor has it that the head of this organization is the brother of the

founder of the Raven. However, The Crow has never publicly revealed their relationship with the Raven, and I only found out about this after sacrificing the lives of two of my informants," he said.

Chapter 1645

Nicole immediately furrowed her brows. She completely did not expect that Lloyd would put in this much effort.

Then, she apologetically said, Tm so sorry... I didn't know you'd do so much for me. I'll return this favor."

Lloyd shook his head and smiled. "Consider it returned if you'd just agree to star in this drama."

Nicole's heart felt very heavy. 'How could that ever compare to two human lives?'

"There's nothing to be worried about. My informants only did that for the money. They've expected the worst to happen since the day they chose this path," Lloyd gently consoled upon seeing the solemn look on her face.

Nicole looked at Lloyd, and could not help but think that she was probably the only person to have seen this ruthless side of him.

Then, they chatted for a while more, after which Lloyd said," That's all for now. It won't be safe for my men to validate those three locations. I'm afraid that the international police will have to do it personally."

In spite of how much he wanted to help Nicole, he knew very well what he ought to do, and what he ought not.

"Sure." Nicole nodded, for the Holder had already done her a huge favor by giving her so much information.

Then, she looked down and transferred a large sum of money to Lloyd with her smartwatch.

Lloyd received a notification of that transaction, and he was very shocked to know that Nicole knew his account number.

However, he had looked into Nicole's history, and he knew that she was a very competent hacker.

Even though it was not surprising that Nicole could do that, he curiously asked her anyway, "What's the money for?"

He was very wealthy, and he was sure that Nicole was not paying him for what he had done.

"Would you give it to the informants' family as compensation?" Nicole asked, wanting to thank them.

Lloyd knew Nicole very well, and that she would never feel at ease if he did not agree to help her.

Therefore, he nodded. "Sure, I'll do that."

"Okay." Nicole nodded in kind.

Lloyd switched the screen off before handing her a USB drive. "There are some other information in here for your reference. I hope that they'll be useful for you."

"Thanks." Nicole grabbed it, preparing to report her findings to Zane.

Lloyd said after Nicole packed her things up, "Have you read the script?"

Nicole lifted her brows and smiled. "Of course, I even

finished it. I memorized a few lines too. Do you want to test me?"

Lloyd smirked. "That won't be necessary. I believe in you, so I've scheduled your first filming session for this Saturday. Is that okay?"

Nicole smiled after seeing how thoughtful he was. "Sure, but I'll probably be coming here a lot less often once my school starts."

Lloyd smiled. "I believe in you. I've told the stage supervisor to place your part on the weekends, and we can shoot the remaining parts every day after school. Would that be okay?"

Nicole could not help but lift her brows. "The filming progress will probably be delayed because of me if that's the arrangement, don't you think?"

However, Lloyd looked like he was not bothered at all. "It's fine. I'm already very happy that I get to see you every week."
