Ch. 1706..1710: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1706-1710

Chapter 1706

When Jared saw Nicole approaching him to discuss the matter, he felt a lot better.

He could tell that Nicole had no feelings for Ike, and thus, he accepted the request.

"Alright. Since Nicole had agreed, I have no further comments." Ike was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Mr. Johnston.

Thank you, Nicole!" Yet, it was then that Nicole began to scrutinize Ike.

He used to enjoy his freedom, and no matter how many investors approached him, he would never sway.

This time around, he actually made a request on his own to join Jared's team.

Although something smelled fishy, Nicole still needed such talent.

Throughout the whole meal, Ike enjoyed it happily.

He even discussed the issue of artificial intelligence with Nicole from time to time.

This made Jared jealous in the process.

"Let's not talk about work while eating." "O-okay..." Ike agreed, whereupon he quickly finished his meal.

Soon, dinner was done.

Ike waved and bade both Nicole and Jared goodbye.

The both of them watched as Ike drove away in his car before they got into their own.

Jared then added, "He actually requested to join us.

That isn't his usual self, is it?" Nicole was silent for a moment.

"But he's a research maniac.

Therefore, I understand him too.

Just take that as a reference I suppose." "Yeah." Jared uttered, and did not comment further.

The both of them were enjoying their last moment for the day together, and soon, Jared said to Max ina soft voice, "Bring us to the beach for a night drive." "Got it." Max nodded and drove to the beachside.

Soon, the car arrived at the coastline, and Max opened the hood thoughtfully, allowing the gentle sea breeze to blow into the car.

Nicole felt relaxed upon being caressed by the wind.

That feeling one got whenever they went for a drive with their lover was indeed amazing.

Looking at how relaxed Nicole was, Jared smiled affectionately.

" So, do you like it?" "I do.

It's so rare for me to be this relaxed." Nicole beam while the necklace she was wearing revealed itself.

Jared smiled in kind.

"You look good in it." Nicole nodded.

"I guess we should say that you have a good eye." Jared looked at Nicole and hugged her lovingly.

Then, they enjoyed the night-time scenery in the night breeze.

Then, they went for a hug and a kiss, which lasted for a long time.

After their night drive by the beach, Nicole suddenly had the urge to race, which prompted Jared to bring Nicole to a private racecourse.

It had been a while since they had gone there, and the place had been renovated.

As the owner of the place, Jared had contributed a lot to its refurbishment, making Nicole smile.

"Did you renovate this place according to my liking?" Jared nodded and beamed.

"You could tell? Yes, I did." Nicole then looked at him with a sweet expression on her face.

" Thank you." Then, just as she was about to drive Jared's racing car over, Jared had already ordered his men to send it over.

A black racing car halted in front of her, glittering under the night sky, and capturing everyone's attention.

"This is for you." “Another gift?" Nicole was shocked, for he had just gifted her a necklace the night before.

This car was custom made, and hence, it must have cost a fortune.

"Yes." Jared smiled.

"Go on and give it a spin." "Okay." Nicole said.

She quickly changed into her racing uniform and climbed into the car with much pride.

‘Vroom vroom.' The engine roared as everyone's eyes were on her.

“Wow! That car is so cool!"

Chapter 1707

“Yes! It looks like a pair next to Mr. Jared’s car.

“Yes. Yes. I can tell the price is really high,” the ladies at the side of the driving course exclaimed one by one.

A number of young men also looked over with envy in their eyes.

Nicole drove the car into the distance with all their eyes fixed on her. After she had taken to the road for a certain distance, she made a heroic drift and zoomed her way back to the end point.

With the car buzzing, everyone erupted into loud cheers and applauses.

“Wow! That’s such a cool car!”

“Yeah! That car is impressive!”

Seeing how everyone was looking at Nicole with much envy, Jared smirked. Then, he got into the other car, passed them the money, and prepared himself for a drive on the course with Nicole.

Previously, Nicole was the one who had driven his car.

When she was on the race course, Jared was not able to get in either. This time round, they could finally drive together.

Nicole was in the car, and she darted Jared, who was beside her, a glance. One of his hands was on the wheel, while the other was hanging out of the window. His stance

made him look really stylish.

Nicole smiled and asked, “Shall we compete today?”

Jared smiled back. “I think it’s better for me to just follow you.”

Seeing that Jared had no desire to compete with her, she looked at the pretty lady in front who was waving the flag. Following the signal, Nicole floored the accelerator and sped off.

Jared mustered a sly smile, floored the accelerator as well, and followed suit.

Both of their cars were well equipped, and in less than a second, they had left the crowd behind.

It had been a long while since Nicole had gotten to speed like this.

Since there was no one on the mountain road, Nicole began to speed up even more, wanting to test out the car’s limits.

When Jared noticed that Nicole was driving crazily, he stepped onto the accelerator and followed her closely behind.

Just like that, the both of them quickly reached the roundabout and went down the hill by going in spiraling circles. On their way down, they saw an obstacle blocking the road.

However, Jared had mimicked the design of the racing tracks from foreign countries and had made some modifications to make the competition even harder.

Looking at those obstacles, Nicole was so overjoyed that she wanted to scream. The excitement it brought to Nicole was indescribable.

Nicole immediately drove up to the platform. Then, her car flew, wheeled into the air, and quickly landed with a thud.

Just as Nicole was enjoying all of that fury and energy, she could feel that her right rear tire had almost detached upon landing. Luckily, she was vigilant and skillful enough to quickly stabilize the car in time.

However, it was then that the artificial intelligence in the car said, “The right rear tire is faulty.”

Nicole did not expect an artificial intelligence to be in her car. Although it was not as advanced as the artificial intelligence she had installed on the manned flying car, it was still an amazing feature to have that a car in this country.

“Slow down. Stop the car to check for faults!” Nicole ordered.

The car immediately replied, “Noted. Please beware of the obstacle in the front.”

It was only then that Nicole realized that there was another obstacle in front, which would only allow her to stop after she had crossed it. Otherwise, Jared would knock into her if he could not see her.

With that in mind, Nicole could only grit her teeth and fly into the air once again.

This time round, the platform was much higher than the previous one, and instead of flooring the gas pedal, Nicole allowed the car to land on its own.

At the exact moment when she landed, there was a loud bang at the right tire to the rear, and the bearing shattered, causing the tire to drop at once.

After that, her car skidded to the right side and veered toward patches of turf unpaved with tarmac.

“D*mn it!” Nicole attempted to hold onto the steering wheel, but it was of no use, as the car proceeded to careen downhill at the roadside.

“Nicole!” After Jared had crossed the obstacles, he saw Nicole’s car spinning of .

With widened eyes, he immediately chased her down the hill. There was a steep slope below, and the car would most likely flip and fall over down there.

Seeing that it was too late to stop the car, Jared stepped onto the accelerator and knocked on Nicole’s from the back.

Chapter 1708

Nicole’s car was already on the verge of going downhill. But after it had collided with Jared’s, it steered back to the main road.

It continued spinning for two more rounds, and after countless sparks released, the car finally came to a stop.

“The car has been successfully parked,” the artificial intelligence responded.

Nicole heaved a sigh of relief, for it seemed that the car had finally stopped, but if Jared had not reacted soon enough, she would have been in deep trouble.

As soon as Nicole thought of Jared, she immediately came back to her senses. She had been knocked from the side, and that was still fine, but Jared had been struck right at the front.

With that thought in mind, Nicole quickly got out of her car.

“Jared! Are you okay?” She instantly went to the side of Jared’s car.

As expected, Jared had fainted, but after being shaken by Nicole a few times, he slowly opened his eyes.

Fortunately, he wore a helmet. Jared removed it, shook his head, and came back to his senses.

Then, he looked at Nicole with concern, “Are you fine?”

Nicole nodded, “That car’s security system is quite good. You better worry about yourself. How do you feel?”

As Nicole was speaking, she entered the passenger seat and checked on Jared’s pulse. Fortunately, there were no major issues. It was only then that Nicole breathed a sigh of relief.

“I’m fine too.” Jared said, though he felt sad as he looked at the car he had gifted to Nicole.

His eyes became downcast. “Why would the car malfunction?”

It was a custom-built car and he had specially assigned someone to take care of it. At this rate, he could not help but wonder if someone had sabotaged it.

“We’ll check it once we’re back. Let’s get out of here first.”

After Nicole had spoken, she got into Jared’s car.

Jared explained the situation briefly through the walkie- talkie. He then asked the other participants to turn around while they drove down the hill.

Although they were not hurt, Jared went on to grill all of the people in charge of the driving circuit. He had also fired all those he thought he should fire.

Max then investigated the entire process of the car’s journey, from the customs until it reached the circuit. However, he did not find any problems.

“There’s only one possibility, and that is someone had tampered with the car before the competition even began.” Nicole frowned.

Indeed, the only chance someone would get was when the valet drove the car over to the circuit.

At that moment, Jared was reminded of something. “Where is that racing driver?”

Max shook his head, “I’m not sure. I checked the CCTV and this person had never removed his helmet. He was not someone working in the circuit either. He is quite suspicious, n

Nicole’s eyes darkened. “Let’s begin the investigation by looking into his uniform. It should be limited edition.”

A flash of light appeared in Max’s eyes. “Alright, I’ll work on that now.”

After Max had left, Nicole looked at Jared and observed that he was not feeling well. “Let’s go. We’re going to the hospital to give you a full body check-up.

Jared had just recovered not long ago. Now that he had received a hit at high velocity, Nicole was worried that he had sustained internal injuries once again.

“Alright, but you should be the one getting a full body checkup.” Jared was saving her, and thus, he was prepared to face the collision.

As for Nicole, it was unexpected.

The both of them were looking at each other sympathy and tenderness. Then, they left the driving circuit.

What they did not notice were a pair of eyes staring at them in the dark, and those eyes were Everett’s. He was glaring at Nicole fiercely.

‘She’s just lucky that she can’t even die with him,’ he fumed.

His first order of business was to take away the Crest. However, it seemed that he had to wait for the next opportunity.

After Nicole and Jared were done with their check-up at the hospital, Martin looked at the both of them and reported with relief, “The both of you are fine. Except that Mr. Jared here has a concussion. You should go home and get some good rest.”

Nicole nodded. “Thank you.”

Martin was a little worried about Nicole. “Please be careful these days. I feel like you’re always in danger.”

Indeed, the Crest was a dangerous item for her to bear.

And with much solemnness, Nicole replied. “I understand. Don’t worry about it.”

Chapter 1709

Soon, Jared and Nicole left the hospital, got into the car, and went back home.

Jared looked at Nicole and playfully, he said, “I don’t feel well. I think you’ll need to accompany me to my place.”

As Jared spoke, he held his forehead as if he was suffering from a headache.

Nicole sighed upon seeing that. “I’ve seen the report. It’s just a minor concussion. You’ll be fine after you get some sleep. If I accompany you, I think you won’t be sleeping at all.”

For his own sake, Nicole could not go to his place.

Otherwise, this man’s mind will be filled with all the different ways on how he could mess with her.

Realizing how serious Nicole was, Jared sighed. “Okay, fine. In that case, I’ll send you back first.”

“No, I’ll send you back tonight.” Nicole asserted.

Hearing that, Jared could only agree. “Okay then.”

Facing Nicole’s insistence, Jared leaned back on his seat and closed his eyes to get some shuteye.

Nicole could tell that he was not feeling well. When they arrived at the destination, Nicole accompanied Jared upstairs, not leaving until he had lied down on his bed.

Jared felt warm as he experienced the gentle care of Nicole.

“That’s enough. Don’t look at me with those eyes. I’ll be fine tomorrow.”

“Yeah, I know. Get some rest.” Nicole poured a glass of water for him and placed it on his bedside table.

Jared smiled and watched her as she left.

After walking out of the room, Nicole’s gaze darkened.

The last time Jared had gotten hurt, he was helping her in dealing with Fiorella. This time, Jared suffered from a concussion because he was trying to protect her. With these thoughts in mind, Nicole would never let go of the perpetrator that easily.

‘Tonight, I must find out who is toying with me!’

Nicole walked out, entered the car and said, “Max, send me back to the racing circuit.”

“Huh?” Max was stunned. But it’s already this late in the night…’

It was almost nine o’clock, and usually, Nicole would be home already at this time.

“I want to personally get to the bottom of everything, and I want to know who the person behind the accident is,” Nicole asserted, as she would never allow the perpetrator who had injured Jared to get away with what they had done.

“Alright, I got it.” Max nodded.

On the way back, Max sent the racing driver’s purchase records to Nicole. “The buyer is an anonymous buyer.

Because of this, we can’t check his personal information…”

Nicole then turned to Max, and said, “Lend me your laptop.”

Max nodded and while the traffic light was still red, he passed the laptop to Nicole.

Nicole quickly plugged her flash drive in and began tapping away on the keyboard.

Max looked at Nicole’s cold gaze and asked, “Miss Riddle, will you be able to extract any information about that person?”

Nicole snorted. “All I have to do is enter the e-commerce platform and check the customer information.”

Max was stunned, “Enter the e-commerce platform…you mean, hacking the server?”

Although he had heard Jared mentioning that Nicole’s hacking skills were superb, that huge e- commerce platform was created by San Joto’s best internet server provider. As such, it would make sense that they had an anti-hacking software installed.

“Arent you worried about being exposed?” Max wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

He would never do such a thing himself.

Nicole laughed. “As long as you are good enough to evade notice, there won’t be an issue.”

Max immediately broke into cold sweat again. ‘How good would that be?’

Soon, they arrived at the racing circuit. However, after the incident, everyone had already left the place by this hour.

At that moment, Nicole immediately closed the laptop and passed it back to Max. Then, Max received an email on his smart watch at once.

“I’ve found the person’s information. I’ll leave the rest to you. I’m heading off now,” she said.

“Huh? Oh…”

That was really fast. Nicole had managed to acquire information which he would take him more than three days’ worth of investigation.

 

Chapter 1710

At this moment, Nicole had already gotten down from the car. Under Max’s watchful eye, they entered the garage in which the car was kept.

This entire time when Nicole had returned home, she had not been investigating. But she did not forget the basics. Once she had entered the garage, she began to look for traces of evidence.

The damaged car had been towed back there. Although it was in a terrible condition, there were still some clues to be found.

Max had never seen this side of Nicole. After they had entered the garage, they had examined the footprints on the floor and the car’s body. While she was at it, she really looked as though she was professional policewoman in the midst of an investigation in a crime scene.

“Miss Riddle, you’re amazing.” Max always felt that he was very meticulous when he conducted his investigation, but most of it was done through CCTV.

Nicole’s methods, however, were similar to that of a police officer’s.

“Usually, I won’t use such methods. But I’m in quite a rush this time,” she said.

If someone else were to hurt her, she would usually have the patience to wait and lure them out. But since the person had gotten Jared injured instead, she could not bear to wait.

Soon after, Nicole passed the fingerprints she had managed to collect to Max. “Go and find the identities of all who had touched this car. There must be someone suspicious.”

Even if the driver wore gloves, the one who had tampered with the tire would leave some prints.

“Alright!”

After doing all these, Nicole looked at the time, and realized that it was already ten. After much consideration, she asked Max to send her to Jared’s place.

At that time, Jared had already fallen asleep, so Nicole went on to sleep in the adjacent room.

The next morning, when Jared headed downstairs, Max told him that Nicole had stayed the night.

Jared was caught by surprise, for the woman had insisted that would not spend the night there. Yet, she was still worried about him, and came back anyway.

With a gentle smile, Jared made a cup of coffee for Nicole. Then, he asked the kitchen staff to make Nicole’s favorite breakfast.

While waiting for Nicole to come down, Jared was already sitting on the dining table with a beaming smile on his face.

“You’re up?” Jared was wearing casual clothes, but he exuded a relaxing presence which made his handsome face look even friendlier.

Nicole smirked. “You’re feeling better now?”

As soon as she had uttered those words, she sat down next to Jared. Then, she took the plate of special breakfast and coffee from Jared’s hands.

After taking a sip, she noticed that the coffee tasted rich and fragrant. As expected, Jared’s coffee suited her taste buds the most.

Jared nodded. “With such a beautiful woman taking care of me, of course I’d feel better. You should’ve left last night, so why did you come back?”

Nicole raised her eyebrows. “I went and checked the fingerprints at the circuit. After that, I came back.”

Jared could not help but eye her when she said that.” Previously, when you were in trouble, I did not see you investigate so quickly.”

Jared had always known how efficient Nicole was, but never had she ever been in a rush to make a move.

Nicole shot him a glance. “This time round, I can’t wait any longer. Not when my man has gotten hurt.”

‘My man’.

Indeed, those words were delivered with much dominance and assertiveness.

Suddenly, Jared laughed out loud. “I didn’t know that I held such a special place in your heart.”

“Nonsense!” Nicole rolled her eyes at Jared bashfully. ‘This guy is clearly talking smack on purpose.’

Jared smiled and wiped the coffee stains off the corner of her lips. “Very good. Please, do keep it up.”

As he spoke, he could not resist from raising his hand to stroke Nicole’s hair.

Nicole was stiff when she felt his gentle touch. However, she did not slap his hand off. Instead, she allowed him to continue.

Then, Nicole completed her meal and got ready for school.

Before she left, Jared reeled her in and gave her a deep, passionate kiss.
