Ch. 1691..1695: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1691-1695

Chapter 1691

"I'm afraid that it won't be possible now." The manager changed his tone and began to sound timid.

"I heard that the crew is already in the midst of investigating who had cut the brake cable...

"W “What are you scared of? We erased all the camera footage, didn't we?" Chloe said, thinking that they would not be able to find anything.

"You just have to act like nothing's happened.

Don't get me into trouble, do you understand?" All she wanted to do was to get her role back.

However, she would be doomed if anybody ever found out that she had deliberately ordered an accident.

"Okay..." The manager nodded.

Chloe hung up and her gaze darkened at once.

‘Damn it. How could she be so lucky...?' she thought.

'Now that I won't be able to do anything on the set anymore, I have no choice but to find another way!' She switched her computer on as she thought about that...

Both Jared and Nicole had already left the set by then.

Jared was still angry, and he did not speak on their way back.

Nicole lifted her brows and said, "Come on, it's nothing serious.

I wasn't hurt at all.

Why are you so mad?" Jared swept his gaze across her in annoyance.

"When will you ever start caring for yourself?" The only reason that Jared got angry was because Nicole never took herself seriously.

"Don't worry. I can keep myself safe.

Besides, what could happen on the set?" Nicole lifted her brows.

"There was just something wrong with the prop." Jared looked at her coldly.

"Something was evidently wrong with the prop.

You would've been hurt if you were someone else." In response, Nicole playfully said, "Too bad, I'm not." Jared shot Max, who was sitting in front, a frosty glance.

"Max, did you get anything?" Max then answered, "The surveillance cameras were sabotaged, but I got some professionals to collect some fingerprints.

I'm sure that the person who had cut the brake line would leave a trace." "Okay, let me know the result as soon as possible." Jared nodded satisfactorily.

Nicole admired Max's intelligence very much.

However, she could already guess who had done that.

Still, she needed evidence if she were to expose that person.

Nicole went on to cease thinking about it.

She had a long day, and all she wanted was to get some rest.

Noticing how tired she was, Jared decided to send her back home.

As such, Nicole came home earlier than Gloria expected.

In utmost surprise, Gloria asked, "Nicole, why did you come home so early today?" And...

she came back with Jared too.

Nicole smiled.

"The session went very well today, so it ended early.

"W Gloria became very happy upon hearing that.

"Wow. I'm so proud of you.

You managed to wrap it up early!" Then, she dragged Nicole into the house and looked at Jared with a warm and welcoming gaze.

She knew that Jared liked coffee, so she said, "I'll make you guys a cup of coffee.

Have a seat." "Thank you, Mrs.

Riddle." Jared nodded and sat down.

Then, he sighed.

"I guess that's it for our weekend." Before this, Nicole would always spend the weekend with him.

Nicole raised her brows.

'We kind of spent the weekend with each other too.

Be grateful that we did." ‘This guy followed me to the set.

What more does he want?’ she thought.

Jared inched closer to her.

"I want more." Then, he gave her a peck on the forehead.

"We didn't get intimate at all." ‘This guy is getting more and more reckless! How could he do this at my home!?' she wondered.

Chapter 1692

And in a low voice, he whispered into Nicole's ear, "You belong to me no matter where we are." Gloria came outside right after Jared had said that and flashed them a cheeky smile when she saw Nicole blushing.

However, she did not say anything about it.

“Jared, you should spend the night here since you have the time today," Gloria said.

Nicole's family was already used to the relationship between Jared and Nicole, so it would not be a big deal for him to sleep over occasionally.

"Mom, no..." Nicole figured that Jared was already very reckless, and what Gloria did would only enable him.

"Sure, Mrs. Riddle. How could I reject such a generous offer?"

Jared said, being more than happy to spend the weekend with Nicole at her house.

"It's settled then. There's something important going on today too." Gloria went to get prepared happily.

Jared watched Gloria leave, but he did not look like he was surprised at all.

However, Nicole was a little confused.

'Why would mom suddenly ask Jared to stay for dinner? And weirdly enough, Jared agreed to stay without any hesitation at all...' Nicole just did not feel right, but she kept it to herself because Gloria had already made the decision.

Still, she warned Jared, "You better leave right after dinner.

You're not spending the night here.” Nicole felt that it was weird for him to sleep over at her home so frequently before they had even gotten married.

Jared smiled. "That depends on how late it would be after dinner is done." Nicole frowned.

"What do you mean?" ‘Why do I feel like something's not right with this guy?' she asked herself.

"Nothing. You should get some rest.

Do you want to take a bath upstairs?" he asked, changing the subject at once.

Nicole furrowed her brows.

'What's up with this guy? Why is he being so kind to me?’ However, Nicole had not even changed her clothes after coming back home.

So, she nodded and said, "I'll go upstairs now then.

Stay here and don't say anything stupid." Then, Nicole stood up and headed up to her room.

Jared watched Nicole going up and smiled gently.

Then, he shifted his gaze to Max...

Nicole had a long day, so she spent a while longer in the bathtub, and by the time she had returned to the living room with a fresh change of clothes, an hour had already passed.

The sky had turned pitch black too.

She thought that Gloria would have the dinner ready by then.

However, the entire house was in complete darkness when she returned downstairs.

“What's going on?" she asked.

Nicole figured that her father and brothers would be home at that time.

'Why is the house so empty? ‘Besides, where's Jared and mom? Did they go out together?" she wondered.

Nicole continued walking down the stairs in confusion.

‘This is strange.

It's already nighttime and the house shouldn't be so dark.

Mom loves the light.

It was impossible for her to not switch them on at night...' she continued.

Suddenly, she felt somebody approaching her from behind.

Instinctively, she grabbed that person's hand, prompting them to yell out of pain.

"It hurts!"

 

Chapter 1693

Nicole immediately turned around after hearing a familiar voice.

Then, she saw Samuel's face.

"Samuel?!" Nicole had no idea what was going on.

Then, she saw everyone else coming out of the dark.

Gloria was pushing a cart with a cake on it while her family, as well as Jared surrounded her.

Then, in unison, they all said to her, "Happy Birthday, Nicole." Nicole paused and released Samuel's hand.

"What..." Samuel could not help but roast Nicole after seeing her reaction.

" Yeah. It's your birthday today, and we wanted to give youa surprise..." Samuel did not expect that Nicole would attempt to break his wrist.

Nicole immediately looked at Samuel apologetically.

''Samuel, I'm so sorry..." She only did that to him because it was so dark, and because he had abruptly tapped on her shoulder.

Gloria had already pushed the cart out in front of Nicole by then.

Gloria looked at Nicole with her gentle gaze, and under the illumination of the candles, she said, "Nicole, you've been away from home for so many years, and Mrs. Wallace Sr.

said that you didn't even know your exact birthday.

I've been waiting for this day to come.

I can finally celebrate your birthday with you.

I really want to say this to you in person.

Happy Birthday, my dear daughter." Nicole's heart melted upon hearing Gloria's warm words.

She did not expect her parents to remember her birthday at all.

She had returned to them for so long, but none of them had ever asked her about her birthday.

However, it was something that they had never forgotten.

Mrs. Wallace Sr., who was standing at the side, wiped her tears away.

She looked at Nicole with much emotion and tenderly, she said, " Silly girl, go ahead and blow the candles.

What are you waiting for? Mrs. Wallace Sr.

was not very rich, and she could never provide Nicole with a proper birthday celebration back in her home.

However, Nicole was very sensible, and she would never talk about it.

Fortunately, Nicole could finally return to her family and spend her birthday with them...

Nicole wanted to step forward, but she actually felt hesitant to blow the candle off as she looked at the shimmering flames.

She wanted to have a birthday celebration very badly when she was younger, but her foster parents never really cared about her.

Then, she ditched that childish idea after she joined the organization.

However, everyone in her family was there to celebrate her birthday with her.

She suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

Strangely enough, she did not feel like blowing the candle off, and wanted to look at it for a while longer.

Jared went up to her as he noticed how touched she was.

"We'll show you your birthday gift now if you don't feel like blowing the candles off just yet." Nicole nodded unwittingly, and she finally realized why Jared had agreed to stay behind without a hint of hesitation.

She figured that he had probably planned this with Gloria beforehand, for he had even prepared a gift for her...

'How considerate of him.' Jared smiled faintly and took a box out before slowly opening it in front of Nicole.

Jared's red velvet box caught everyone's attention.

He opened the box under the astonished glances of everyone, and a ray of sparkling light came out of the box.

The sapphire shone under the illumination of the candlelight, and everybody found out that it was a necklace; a necklace with the one and only sapphire of its kind in the world! Nicole's expression

changed as soon as she saw the necklace.

Then, she gave Jared a look of approval.

"How generous of you, Mr. Johnston.

You actually managed to get the one and only Ocean Heart...

" "Ocean Heart?" Nicole's brothers were shocked.

Somebody once said that it was the most expensive necklace in the world.

The sapphire was the purest of its class, and it was paired with the finest craftsmanship of a world- renowned designer.

That necklace was the only one in the world, and it cost a fortune...

None of them was expecting to see it on such a casual occasion, and for Jared to gift it to Nicole in such a casual way either.

Of course, Nicole had heard about Ocean Heart too.

It had been stolen a few times throughout the years before it finally became a part of the collection of a very famous antiquarian.

'The price of this thing.

It's actually priceless.

There's no way the collector would sell it...

How did Jared manage to get his hands on it? “What's wrong? You don't like it?" Jared smiled and asked after seeing how Nicole was just standing there, looking at it.

"It's not that.

I just couldn't believe that I've received such an expensive gift on my birthday." Indeed, Nicole truly felt that way.

Chapter 1694

"It's worth it because this is the first birthday celebration in your life." Jared smiled.

Then, he took the necklace out and put it on for Nicole.

Nicole felt very touched.

She bowed her head and accepted the gift.

The weighty necklace fell between her collarbones, and Nicole felt so touched that she did not know how to react.

All she could do was indulge herself in her family's companionship and her lover's gift.

That was the warmest day that she had ever had in her life, so much so that it felt like a dream.

"Thank you..." Nicole thanked him softly.

As of now, the feistiness she had was finally gone.

She was so gentle that she looked just like another girl.

Seeing that, Samuel and Spencer immediately said, "Oh well.

After seeing Mr. Johnston had gifted you, we're too embarrassed to give you what we've gotten you now..." Nicole looked at him.

"Don't say that.

What did you get for me?" She had everything she needed.

She only asked that because she did not want to disappoint her brothers.

Samuel immediately took a box out after hearing what Nicole had said.

"Here! This is the latest gaming console.

We can play it together during the holidays." Even though it was an expensive gift, Spencer gave him a disdainful look after seeing that.

“Samuel, how old are you? A console? You actually splurged on this thing?" he asked.

In retrospect, he should not have trusted Samuel, and he regretted not going out to choose Nicole's gift with him.

Samuel was surprised after seeing how disappointed Spencer was.

“What's wrong with it?" Even though Nicole knew that she would not have a lot of time to play it, she smiled and took it from Samuel anyway.

"Thank you, Samuel.

I love it. I've never played anything like this.

I'll give it a try someday." Samuel felt very proud after hearing what Nicole had said.

Then, he lifted his chin and said to Spencer, "Look, it's not as bad as you think it is." Spencer ignored him because he knew Nicole had only said those words because she did not want to hurt his feelings.

After that, he took his present out, with, Stanley, Steve, and Sean following suit.

All of them had prepared something very expensive, and seeing that, both Tia and Mrs. Wallace Sr.

were shocked.

Tia hesitated for some time before she took a tiny box out.

"Miss Nicole, I don't have a lot of money, so I personally made a bracelet for you..." Nicole looked at Tia's gift and mustered a polite, ''Thank you." Mrs. Wallace Sr.

also handed Nicole a sweater that she had knitted for her.

"My eyesight's getting worse, so I can't knit as well as I could before anymore.

Nicole, I hope you'd still like it." "Of course, I will.

Thanks, grandma," Nicole said with a smile before hugging her.

Tears welled up in Gloria's eyes when she saw everyone else giving Nicole their blessings.

Then, she exchanged a glance with Jared before she said, "Nicole, we know you have everything you need, so we've prepared something very unique for you." Then, the butler came over while pushing another cart topped with heaps of cardboard boxes on it.

Gloria went to one of the boxes and took a dress out of it.

It looked unworn and in good condition.

However, it was a little out of style.

Gloria looked at the dress and wept, "These are all the gifts that I've been preparing for you every year on your birthday since I lost you.

I planned to give them all to you on the day I could finally see you again to tell you that you've always been in my heart..." Perhaps it had something to do with the connection between a mother and her child.

Even though she was with Norah, she had never shown Norah anything in those boxes.

That was the very first time Gloria had taken them out with guilt, and it was because Nicole could finally spend a birthday with her.

Seeing Gloria's teary eyes, Nicole was extremely moved.

Chapter 1695

Nicole used to suspect that Gloria and Daniel had abandoned her on purpose.

However, she turned out to be very wrong.Her parents still loved her a lot.

"I can finally give them to you now..."

Gloria showed her every piece of item in the boxes before wiping her tears.Nicole stepped forward and gave her a hug.

"Thank you, mom.I'm beyond grateful to have you in my life."

Gloria immediately burst out crying after hearing what Nicole had said.

The guilt that had been bothering her all those years was finally gone.

Nicole was so sensible that she felt very sorry.

"Come on, let's not be sad.We should eat some cake now."

Daniel wistfully said as he could not wait for the celebration to begin.

Nicole did not hesitate anymore.She went straight for the cake, but it was then that someone grabbed her.

"Hold on, Nicole.You've got to make a wish first!"

Spencer quickly reminded her.

Nicole nodded before making a wish.

Jared looked at Nicole dotingly and desperately hoped that her wish had something to do with him.

Then, Nicole opened her eyes and blew the candles off.

The butler switched the lights on, after which everyone got seated and started eating the cake and their dinner.

Nicole sat beside Jared and whispered, "Hey, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

‘Clearly, he knew about this before.How could he hide it from me?" she asked herself.

"It wouldn't be a surprise if I did."

Jared smiled faintly and clinked his glass against Nicole's.

Nicole then downed the glass of wine angrily.

Nicole did not know if she was just too happy or if it had something to do with Daniel's wine.She actually felt a little tipsy when she eventually began to unwind.

Jared noticed that Nicole had finished eating and that her cheeks had become very reddish too.

Thus, he smiled and said, "Mr.and Mrs.Riddle? I'll bring Nicole upstairs.I think she's drunk."

"I'm not."

Nicole shook her head, though she did indeed look a little tipsy. Daniel quickly said.

"Sure, go on."

Meanwhile, Mrs.Wallace Sr. was also there, and Gloria was happily chatting away with her.

"Okay," Jared said and helped Nicole up the flight of steps.

Nicole got so close to Jared, that she could feel the warmth in his body when they were walking in the corridor.

She looked up, beamed at him, and said, "Jared, you smell pretty good."

That was Jared's first time seeing how drunk and carefree Nicole was.He was intrigued as he looked at her even more affectionately.

"Do you like it? I'll spend the night with you in your room if you do..." he joked, knowing that Nicole would just throw him out.

Unexpectedly, Nicole grabbed him by his tie and dragged him inside when they had walked up to her room.

"Sure..."

She mumbled before closing her distance with Jared.

Then, she raised her chin and kissed Jared on his lips! Nicole had never acted in such a lascivious manner before.

The lower part of Jared's body then tightened, and he felt very nervous.

He kissed her back unwittingly and only bothered to pull his lips away after a very long time.

"That's enough, Nicole.Don't play with fire..."

Even though he wanted to stay in her room very badly, he was not trying to do anything else in the house...

Besides, Nicole was behaving too wildly that night, and he was worried that her family would hear everything if he lost control of himself.

However, Nicole could not stop herself anymore as she chuckled.

"I thought you wanted to stay here, hmm? Are you regretting it now? It's too late."

She held Jared's chin and teased him, "Tonight… you're not going anywhere."
