Ch. 1686..1690: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1686-1690

Chapter 1686

His brazen praise was heard by the few people surrounding them.

Many averted their gaze, but most of them were blown away by Nicole's beauty.Her makeup today suited her well.

"Thanks."

Nicole sat down calmly, after which she waited for the filming to start.

At that moment, the screenwriter approached her and asked, "Miss Nicole.Do you have any thoughts on the script today?"

Nicole shook her head, thinking, 'Does she think that I would want to change the scene every day?’ Chloe, who was spectating from the back, noticed the special treatment Nicole was getting.

Though furious, she could only watch on helplessly.

Chloe was nothing more than a third lead actor who neither the director nor the crew would pay attention to.

Nicole sighed as she read that there were intimate physical scenes.

' It's a good thing that Jared didn't come over today.Otherwise, it would not sit well with his possessive nature.If Lloyd and I were to hug, he would not sit still..."

It was not long before the lights dimmed, and both Nicole and Lloyd proceeded to the set.

Then, Nachelle yelled, announcing for the commencement of the filming today whereupon both Lloyd and Nicole began getting into character.

From afar, Jared was standing in the shadows, observing Nicole.

At that moment, he understood Nicole's strong refusal to have him on set today; it was not because she was shy but it was because of the role she had to play today.

Jared was livid, his expression was dark, and his fists were clenched tightly.

Max, who was beside him, heard the sounds of his knuckles cracking, and he said, "Mr.Johnson...please calm down.It's only for the filming."

Max was concerned that Jared would not be able to keep himself restrained and would rush up into the scene to beat Lloyd toa pulp.

Jared's eyes softened for a moment, after which he convinced himself, "It's just for the filming."It's okay.It's just a simple gesture.This will only require one go"

Jared said to himself, trying his best not to punch anyone until the scene was completed.

Then, Lloyd suddenly turned around and said, "Sorry, I wasn't in the right frame of mind.Can we do it again?"

In an instant, Jared lost his temper.

'That b*stard! He's taking advantage of her!’ "You jack*ss!"

Unable to deal with the scene anymore, he walked onto the set.

"Mr.Johnston!"

Max hurriedly tried to reach out to hold him back, but to no avail.

Nachelle was about to agree to Lloyd's request for another retake when a voice sounded from behind.

"Nachelle, it's been a long time."

Jared's voice stunned Nachelle for a moment, prompting her to turn around stiffly.

"Mr.Johnston, what brings you here?"

This drama cost a lot of money, and the Holder family had never invested in a business that would lose, and hence, in order to share the risks, they had brought investors in, with Jared unexpectedly being one of them.

Jared had only agreed to invest based on the pattern of the Holders family in regards to avoiding huge risks.

Nachelle did not expect that Jared would come over for a visit on the second day of shooting itself...

Nachelle glanced over at Nicole's direction and soon understood that he had come over to support her, and that the investment was probably for her sake too.

"I'm one of the investors here.I happened to have some time off during the weekend and so, I've decided to come over for a visit."

Jared swaggered in and sat down on the armchair next to Nachelle.

Everyone on the set had gone silent due to Jared's overbearing presence.

Having heard his words clearly, Nicole was taken aback.

Chapter 1687

‘Investor? When did this guy become an investor in this drama? He didn't even tell me! Besides, didn't I ask him not to come?

Look at him now! Walking in like he owns this place! He's even inspecting our progress here! What the heck is going on?!" she thought.

Nachelle could only smile and bear with Jared's attitude.

"Of course.

As an investor, it's only natural for you to want to know what's going on." It was nothing out of the ordinary for the production crew, so Nachelle just continued on with her work calmly.

But when she was about to turn to Lloyd, Jared said, "Mr. Lloyd is the best actor alive.

Why would he need to do a second take?" Nachelle's and Lloyd's faces soured the instant Jared said that.

Nicole was taken aback as she came to a realization as well.

Indeed, Lloyd's acting was good enough in that scene.

There was absolutely no need for them to do a second take.

Lloyd became awkward as Jared had seen through his intentions.

If he insisted for a second take, people would definitely start to doubt his acting skills.

"That was a good take, but I just wanted another take just to be safe." Nachelle wanted to chime in as well, but Jared immediately said, " I don't think that's necessary.

As the best actor alive, you can definitely complete that scene in one take." Though Jared sounded as though he believed in Lloyd's skills, he was actually being sarcastic.

And true enough, Lloyd would seem like a failure if he could not do it.

Lloyd could not help but grit his teeth as he looked at Jared.

'This bastard is obviously afraid that I'll move in on Nicole!’ But he could only wave this off and through gritted teeth, he said, "Since the investor is happy with this shot, there's no need for a second take.

Let's move on to the next scene." Then, Lloyd turned around and left.

Nicole watched as Lloyd left while the staff went on to prepare for the next scene.

She then looked at Jared in defeat.

‘Is this guy just here to cause trouble?’ she thought.

But Jared just looked at Nicole and smiled silently.

Soon, the next scene began.

Lloyd walked up again, and much to Jared's chagrin, it was a scene where the male lead hugged the female lead from the back.

Jared was on the verge of blowing his top when he heard about the details of the scene.

He was imagining Lloyd hugging Nicole from the back.

'That's something only I can do!' Even though it was just an act, Jared could still not tolerate someone doing that with Nicole.

Unable to help himself, he stated, "I think this scene is unnecessary.

They hugged just now.

We should just carry on with the plot.” The screenwriter looked at Nachelle with an awkward expression on his face.

But Nachelle just looked at Jared, intrigued.

Though he was an investor, he was too young to be talking here, and so, Nachelle argued, "Mr. Johnston, you're unfamiliar with this.

This scene is to strengthen the relationship between the male and female leads..." "Regardless of the reason..." Jared turned to Nachelle with a determined look on his face.

"My woman can't be hugged by just anyone." He did not even bother to hide it, and his words stunned everyone.

Jared was not worried about people seeing his jealousy at all.

He even had the temerity claim that Nicole was his woman in public, which was insane.

Chloe was burning with hatred in a corner, for Nicole had already gotten the limelight, and yet, she could still make Jared and Lloyd fight for her.

'She's hogging all of the attention! What a b*tch!'

Chapter 1688

Unbeknownst to Chloe, Nicole did not want any attention.

If anything, Nicole actually hated the feeling of people watching her.

‘Jared, you punk! Gosh, can he just stop talking?!' Nicole fumed.

However, Jared still insisted.

"You're one of the greatest directors in the industry, so you can't be so inflexible that you can't change the script, can you?" Jared was also deliberately provoking Nachelle, causing her expression to turn ugly at once.

If she agreed, she would have to change the script, but if she did not, she would be discredited...

‘Jared is far too cunning,’ she thought.

Thus, she could only respond through gritted teeth, "Whatever you say!" Though she wanted to create more opportunities for Lloyd to be together with Nicole, she could not risk her reputation for it.

After all, antagonizing the Johnston family would not do the Holder family any good.

“Come and change the script!" Nachelle was annoyed as she called the screenwriter over, and the filming came to a halt.

Nicole walked over to Jared, feeling resigned.

“Are you here to observe or affect my work?" she asked.

Indeed, all she wanted was to get it over with as soon as possible.

' Great, everything's delayed now, and it's all because of this guy.' "I'm here to protect my girlfriend.

I don't want anyone preying on you repeatedly." Jared looked in Lloyd's direction coldly as he spoke.

Nicole could not resist herself from frowning.

"That's enough.

We're just doing it because it was necessary." "Still ano from me.

Whatever I say goes.'' Jared looked like a tyrant.

Nicole felt defeated.

"Okay, you're an investor, after all.

But don't delay my progress." Jared smiled.

"Don't worry, I won't." As long as he was there, Lloyd would not be free to make a move on Nicole any time he wanted, and because of that, Nicole would be done in a jiffy.

On the other hand, Lloyd was looking at Jared and Nicole, and his eyes were filled with hatred as he glared at Jared.

‘How dare this jerk change my script?" he fumed.

Usually, he was the one who would do such a thing.

However, Nachelle was there, and she would always take the Holder family into consideration.

Gritting his teeth, Lloyd could only tolerate this.

'Jared wouldn't be here every day anyway...' For the next few scenes, Lloyd and Nicole were progressing just fine, and the scenes were mostly done in one take.

The screenwriter had also taken the liberty to remove some flirtatious scenes, which made Jared extremely happy.

When it was time for the last scene, everyone decided to change locations and film in the outdoors.

It was then that Nachelle asked Jared on purpose.

"Mr. Johnston, we're going to shoot outside.

Are you joining us?" Jared looked at Nicole.

"Sure.

I'm here to keep my fiancée company today." In other words, Jared was saying that he was only joining Nicole; not the rest of them.

Nachelle was left slightly upset by the remark, but she could only stifle her anger and walk out with him.

Soon, everyone arrived at the destination in over ten minutes.

It was a scene where Nicole got hit by the car, and thus, the prop car was already prepared.

The car would stop before it actually hit Nicole, and they would film Nicole falling separately before they wrap their work up.

Nachelle initially thought that it was going to be difficult to film, but Nicole already knew what to do after she briefly explained it to her.

Jared looked at Nicole with admiration as she was preparing for that scene with utmost seriousness.

Chapter 1689

It was Jared's first time seeing his lady working with such seriousness, and she looked amazing while she was at it.

Nachelle yelled "action", and Nicole walked forward in accordance with Nachelle's orders.

A look of surprise flashed across her face when she saw the car speeding toward her.

Everyone was expecting the car to stop, but it was then that the actor in the car shouted, "Move! The brakes aren't working!" The staff around Nicole quickly retreated in shock.

Jared did not expect the car to malfunction, so he quickly lunged forward.

However, Nicole was way beyond his reach.

Nicole watched as the car careened toward her, and she reacted by performing a front flip before landing on one knee in stylish display.

A loud bang was then heard behind her.

As it turned out, the car had crashed into another vehicle belonging to the production crew.

If Nicole had not dodged it, she would have been smashed between two cars, and the resulting scene would be too dreadful to even imagine.

Jared was the first to rush to Nicole's side.

"Are you alright?" ‘Thank God Nicole dodged it.

It was just too dangerous.’ "I'm fine." Nicole seemed to be used to things like this happening.

When she was on missions back then, incidents like this were nothing uncommon.

Besides, the prop car was not too fast, so Nicole still had time to react.

Lloyd ran up to Nicole at that moment too.

"Nicole! Are you okay?! " Nicole shook her head.

"I'm fine.

The car wasn't too fast." Nicole was a forgiving person, but Jared was not, and his face darkened at once.

"Mr. Lloyd.

You personally invited my fiancée to act in this drama, but this is the degree of safety your crew can offer?" Lloyd was dismayed when Jared questioned him like that.

He quickly looked at the driver who was being carried down from the car.

Though the car was not too fast, the car had still crashed, and the powerful impact was still enough to disorient him.

Lloyd walked up to him and asked, ''What happened back there? Do you know that you almost hit someone?!" The driver immediately sobered up and said, "I-I don't know.

But the brakes...

The brakes really stopped working..." Hearing that, Nicole instantly knew that something fishy was going on.

Lloyd could tell that the driver was not lying as well.

"Check and see what is going on!" Though Nicole was not hurt, an accident like this was too dangerous.

Lloyd needed to know what really happened...

Very quickly, the staff who inspected the prop car reported to Nachelle, "I think someone got into the car.

The brake line was cut!" Jared's face turned eerily dark when he heard that.

"Seriously, Miss Nachelle? Did someone from your crew do something to the car?” ‘Even in the production crew, Nicole was not safe.

How can I let her work here without worrying?’ Nachelle was visibly upset when Jared condemned her, during which she yelled, "Check the surveillance cameras! Find out who's behind this!" "On it!" The staff quickly sped off to investigate.

However, Jared did not have an ounce of faith in them, so he said to Max, "You.

Investigate this and find out who's behind the crash.

"W "Yes, sir." Max nodded and proceeded to investigate the crash secretly.

The staff then came back and reported, "The surveillance camera...

was broken after we left the place last night...

Up until just now..." "What?!" Nachelle yelled, as did not expect that the surveillance cameras would be down at this time.

It was obvious that someone had a bone to pick with Nicole.

On top of that, they had come prepared, and there was no way for the crew to determine who they were.

The look on Nachelle's face was terrible.

To top it off, Nicole saw that Jared was still going to cause a scene, so she said, "It's fine, Nachelle.

I'm fine, so let's just forget about this." "No way!" Lloyd was upset as well.

"Don't worry.

I'll find who the culprit is!"

 

Chapter 1690

Nicole was the person Jared cared about the most, and hence, it was just impossible for him to stand by and do nothing.

Then, Nachelle said, "Don't worry, Nicole.

I won't let this slide and I'll find out exactly what happened.

" In response, Jared frowned.

''How are you going to do that? I suggest you stop filming since you can't guarantee the safety of your set.

We'll talk about it again after you've discovered what happened.

" "T... "' Nachelle was rendered speechless.

'Jared is clearly just taking the opportunity to give me problems.

' After that, Lloyd chimed in, "Rest assured, Nicole can leave now.

I'll find out who did this in three days.

She can return to the set after that.

After all, that was the last scene they had to film for the day.

"Sure," Jared said as he looked into Lloyd's determined eyes.

"Mr. Lloyd, I hope that you're going to keep your word.

" Then, he turned to Nicole and said, "That's it for today.

Let's go." Nicole quickly nodded.

"I'll leave now then." "Sure,'' Lloyd responded with a smile and watched as Nicole walked off.

Nachelle did the same while everyone else sent the driver to the hospital.

Then, Nachelle sighed.

"Lloyd, even though Nicole's acting skills are surprisingly good, I'm afraid that this production won't go very smoothly..." she stated.

Lloyd knew that this was going to happen when he insisted that Nicole participate in this production.

However, he wanted to spend more time with her.

In truth, the show was nothing but an excuse for him to do so.

Still, Lloyd had spent too much effort and time on it; effort which Nachelle thought was not worth.

"It's fine.

I wouldn't mind doing anything as long as I could spend more time with her..." Lloyd mumbled while his gaze darkened.

Nachelle sighed upon seeing how stubborn her son was.

Lloyd was her only child, and not too long ago, she had lost him, subjecting him to much suffering in the process.

Thus, she would try her best to give him anything he wanted.

She was willing to give Nicole a chance so that Lloyd could spend more time with her.

She was also more than willing to snatch her away from Jared if that meant that Lloyd would be able to get her.

She would not mind doing anything as long as Lloyd could be happy.

However, things began to look more complicated...

On the other side, Chloe had been waiting at home for the entire morning.

She could not stop imagining the car crashing into Nicole, and how the production crew would ask her to take Nicole's place.

However, she had not gotten any news, even as of now.

About 30 minutes later, the call she had been anticipating from her manager finally arrived.

"Did it work? How badly injured is Nicole?" She asked excitedly after picking her phone up.

She was dying to hear about Nicole having broken a few ribs, or possibly even disfigured.

However, her manager was stuttering, unable to form a coherent sentence.

"Um..." “Say something!" Chloe yelled.

Her manager took a deep breath and told her the truth.

"Nothing happened to Nicole.

I heard that she dodged it before the car could even crash into her.

" “What? Are you serious?!" Chloe widened her eyes in disbelief.

‘How is that possible? I'm sure that most people would not be able to dodge it, and she's just a girl! How could she have dodged it?' Chloe wondered.

"Yeah.

I heard that she dodged it with a front flip too.

The director even changed the script because she thought that the scene looked very cool.

.

.

" "Front flip?" Chloe asked in complete disbelief.

'Nicole can even perform a front flip?! That's unbelievable!' "Chloe? Are you still there?" her manager asked.

Chloe clenched her teeth angrily.

"I don't care! Think of something else since it didn't work! I want her out of the set as soon as possible!"
