Ch. 176..180: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 176-180
Chapter 176
Zeke’s expression became frigid.
He did not expect that his carelessness would develop into this.
“I didn’t steal anything.
Since you don’t believe me but want to call the police, bring it on, then.” Luka saw Zeke was still provocative and angrily pointed at him with the same finger gesture.” You’d better believe I will call the police!” He took out his mobile phone and wanted to call the police when an appealing yet cold voice came to his ears.
“That won’t be necessary.” It turned out to be Nicole.
When she noticed Zeke had not kept up, she turned around and walked back. She had heard the ins and outs of the matter.
Looking at Zeke’s obviously puerile yet stubborn face, Nicole knew without any doubt that it was the other guy who was looking for trouble.
She looked at Luka and said in a toneless voice, “If you want to know the truth, just check back the surveillance record.” Luka was looking at Nicole and falling into a reverie.
When he heard what she said, he sneered and said, “You want to stand up for this stalker and thief? Don’t you know that the surveillance record of the Assoria Castle is never open to the public?” Nicole ignored his mockery, just turned around, and said to Zeke, “Wait a minute.” The Assoria Castle had five floors, with the second floor onward as the guest rooms.
Because of privacy concerns, the surveillance record was not open for public inspection.
There was only the front hall, and it was easy to gain access to the surveillance record. Nicole summoned a waitstaff to call the manager over. Luka sneered at Nicole’s methodical appearance.
“I advise you not to waste your time.
We have been staying here for half a month and have never seen the manager’s face here.
How do you expect people to look at the surveillance record for the sake of a redneck? You must be kidding me.” Something crossed her mind as Chloe stared at Nicole with cold eyes.
For some reason, she felt Nicole looked familiar to her as if she had met Nicole before. Meanwhile, Luka was still rattling on.
“Where did you get the courage to think that the manager would come out to see you? Besides, the castle has a rule that the surveillance record must not be open for public inspection.
You two are probably parvenus with some money, gaining access to the castle after buying a key card, right? Quickly hand the things over.
We are hurrying to shoot with mr. Holder and have no time for you.
The manager will not come at all. Before his voice trailed off, a mundane voice came from behind him.
“Is this young lady who wants to see the surveillance record?” Luka was stunned, eyes wide open in disbelief.
The manager was no ordinary figure.
There was a powerful force behind the Assoria Castle, where even the waitstaff was someone whom he and Chloe could not offend.
After so many days of staying here, they had not even seen the manager’s face once.
What was happening was beyond them.
They could not believe that the manager had come out because of Nicole. Luka looked back at the manager, who wore a well-cut black tuxedo with a distant expression on his face.
By the looks of him, the manager was no ordinary character. He wore a gold -framed monocle, a silk white pocket square on the left chest, with his right hand in front of his chest.
It was the most standard butler attire. Luka was stunned and asked, “May I know who you are?” Even Chloe looked in disbelief.
Chapter 177
Chapter 177 Dino Johnston, the manager, frowned.
He did not look at Luka and Chloe on the side but whispered to Nicole, “You want to see the surveillance record?” Nicole nodded, her gaze lingering on the butler costume for two seconds.
It was the clothing of the Bourbon II era. Thinking of the knight’s uniform of the William I period at the gate, Nicole’s eyebrows were raised involuntarily as she thought the owner of this castle was low-key enough to show off his wealth. Dino bowed slightly as he made a “please” gesture, after which he gave Luka and Chloe a look.
“According to the needs of the guests and the rules of the hotel, you may look at the surveillance record of the ground floor.
I will take you all to the surveillance room.” He led the way, walking to the right in front of Nicole and Zeke.
Zeke had been shocked enough while following Nicole earlier and now seemed nonchalant.
Instead, he looked back at Luka and said with a half-smile.
“Follow closely.
It’s not like you can see the manager and surveillance record every day.” Luka and Chloe quickly caught up with them, but Luka’s attitude toward Zeke was still haughty; he did not believe that people around a stalker-like Zeke were any special.
The manager had only said that the surveillance record in the lobby on the ground floor was open to inspection, and it had nothing to do with Nicole’s background. Chloe thought the same, but there was still
a faint look of surprise in her eyes.
They never thought about why Nicole knew the layout and system of the castle so well, including the fact that they could access the surveillance record of the ground floor. They followed Dino into a small, inconspicuous door at the other end of the lobby.
Dino then nodded politely at Nicole, pulled the door open, and invited them in.
Unlike the outside, the instrument inside this room was more advanced, with a strong sense of high-tech feel. Five massive screens hung in the air, four of which were turned off, and only one was on, showing the surveillance footage of the entire ground floor of the castle. Dino stepped forward and retrieved the surveillance footage, during which Chloe and Zeke bumped into each other.
It revealed that Zeke’s hands never touched Chloe but only accidentally bumped into her with his shoulder.
The footage spoke for itself. Luka’s face changed, and he could not find a word to respond, while Chloe snorted and left without apologizing.
Nicole and Zeke were like ants in her eyes.
Even if she was mistaken, there was no need to apologize to such people Chloe Riddle thought to herself that it was a waste of time here.
After all, she was becoming an A-list celebrity soon, and her every minute and every second was precious.
Thinking that she was going to a shoot for mr. Holder’s movie in the afternoon, Chloe said to Luka, “Let’s go.
We must not be late for mr. Holder’s movie shoot.” Meanwhile, Dino looked on with a thoughtful look. Nicole looked at Chloe with no expression in her eyes, yet Chloe felt a chill run up her spine, and she halted her steps for a second and looked back at Nicole in puzzlement.
For some reason, Nicole was giving her a sense of familiarity.
She did not know who Nicole was, but she had instinctively become hostile to Nicole. Nicole stood casually in the doorway, looking back at Chloe and Luka, who were walking toward her, and said with a half-smile, “Apologize to him.”.
Chapter 178
Not only Chloe and Luka, but even Zeke, who was standing on the side, was stunned. Chloe looked at Nicole, wide-eyed.
When she snapped back from her shock, she reached out her hand to push Nicole, who was leaning against the door.
“Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this?” Nicole looked up with piercing eyes, which she had never shown while at the Royal Creek Institute.
She looked intimidating, with her eyes upturned.
The impatient and forbidding looks in the corners of her eyes made her look like a black iris that bloomed wantonly with a charming and deadly smell. “Who do you think you are that you won’t even apologize for?” She raised her hand and grabbed Chloe’s wrist, then slowly tightened her grip.
Chloe could not bear the pain and cried out. She looked in fear at Nicole’s face. Chloe had been well received in both the Riddle and the Rogers families and doing well in the entertainment industry.
She was best at becoming all things to all people.
When she realized she could not get away, she quickly pleaded with Nicole.
“I’m sorry, I was wrong.” Nicole looked at her with cold eyes.
Still gripping at her wrist, she spun Nicole around to face Zeke and said with a lazy look, “Say it to him.” 1 Chloe bit her lip, looked up with pitiful eyes, and said, “Hey, kid, please tell your buddy not to be too hard on me, would you?” She thought she would captivate Zeke, and he would not pursue the matter further, not expecting that Zeke was immune to her beauty after following Nicole all the way.
“I am not a kid, and I know who is right and who is wrong.
Don’t pull this on me,” Zeke said.
Chloe cursed in her mind but did not dare to show it on her face.
She had no choice but to humble herself.
“I’m sorry.
We misunderstood you.” Behind them, Luka was rooted to the spot, intimidated by Nicole.
When he saw Chloe had apologized and Nicole shot a look at him, he came to his senses and quickly said, “I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
It was my mistake and I who caused this misunderstanding.
Please forgive us.” Nicole ignored their groveling and fawning and looked at Zeke.
“Do you still mind?” Knowing that Nicole was helping him, Zeke smiled and said, “It’s alright.
Let them go.” Nicole then let go of Chloe’s hand and snapped, “Get the hell out of my sight!” Chloe Riddle and Luka hurried away.
Chloe was so angry that she was in no mood to go for dinner before the shoot and slammed the handbag in her hand on Luka’s face.
“Stupid! If you hadn’t said he was a stalker, we wouldn’t have come to this.” Her eyes were filled with hatred at the thought of being forced to apologize to the stinky brat.
She grew up pampered, with no one daring to antagonize her.
Chloe rubbed her wrist, thinking of the person who gripped her wrist earlier and swore she would give as good as she got. Luka kept apologizing to her, but deep down inside, he was indignant.
‘Didn’t she agree with and she halted her steps for a second and looked back at Nicole in puzzlement.
For some reason, Nicole was giving her a sense of familiarity.
She did not know who Nicole was, but she had instinctively become hostile to Nicole. Nicole stood casually in the doorway, looking back at Chloe and Luka, who were walking toward her, and said with a half-smile, “Apologize to him.”.
Chapter 179
“Be sure you make a clean job of it,” Chloe said impatiently,”
Luka knew she had agreed and went to carry out the plan.
Chloe rubbed her hands, feeling a little uneasy.
As mr. Holder’s movie was about to start shooting and JJ Johnston Group had still not made any move, she could not help but feel nervous.
Besides, she was wondering who that woman was and why she looked so familiar.
Nicole watched as Chloe and Luka left, and she looked back at Dino, gently nodding at him.” Thank you for today.”
She then handed Zeke the room card she had just received and said, “You go upstairs first.
I will follow later.”
Zeke looked down, seemingly not hearing what Nicole had said.
When he saw the room card with 402 printed on it, he nodded like a sleepwalker.
Seeing Zeke wander out, Nicole looked back at Dino, who still had a straight face on, and said,” Is there any session soon?”
Dino was slightly stunned to hear her question but soon regained his composure.
The VIP cards issued by the hotel could only differentiate clients by rank, but not their individual identities.
This was to protect the hotel’s clients.
The two Gold Cards Nicole held were the most premium.
It was also for this reason that this matter, which could have been resolved by the waitstaff, was handled by Dino personally.
After replaying the surveillance footage, he would have come forward to prevent Chloe from leaving and asked her to apologize to Nicole and Zeke if Nicole had not directly intervened.
So, Dino was surprised if Nicole knew something more secretive.
He looked at Nicole with a faint smile.
“You have come at the right time.
There will be a Gold Session soon.
Do you want to enter?”
Nicole did not expect a Gold Session in Nottingbrook State.
Her visit was unscheduled, and she was just looking for a Bronze or Iron Session.
Nicole had no reason not to join since there was a Gold Session.
“Two entrance tickets, please.”
Dino gently nodded.
Nicole was a Gold Card client and eligible for Gold Session entrance tickets.
“Someone will deliver the tickets to your room in fifteen minutes,” he said.
Nicole nodded and said no more.
She walked out at once without giving a damn to Dino’s inquiring eyes.
Ostensibly Assoria Castle was the largest hotel in the Nottingbrook State, but it was also a reception medium for the Moon House.
People needed to go through an identity check by the hotel to have a chance to enter the Moon House.
Dino did not take it upon himself to look up Nicole’s identity but simply picked up the walkie talkie and whispered, “Two VIP tickets for the Golden Session, delivered to Room 401 and 402.
Someone on the other side quickly replied, “Will you let the guest in the first room on the fourth floor sit in the hall?”
Chapter 180
The other party seemed to be silent and said nothing again.
Going back to the room, Nicole thought for a moment and decided to knock on the door of Room 402, which was Zeke’s room. The rooms in the castle were less of a continental but modern minimalist style, which Nicole still admired.
Cold, languid, with a bit of impersonal indifference.
It was a bit like the café style of Jared.
Nicole admired the interior design of the castle while waiting for Zeke to open the door.
A white spiral staircase was in the air, topped by a frosty ceiling chandelier hanging from the castle’s dome, where the fifth floor was located.
It was massive and through which light seemed to penetrate.
It did not take long before Zeke opened the door and invited her in.
The next second after Nicole entered, a door on the fifth floor suddenly opened.
Jared stepped out of it, and behind him, a blond man followed and said something to him.
1 The entire fifth floor had only one room, which occupied most of the floor area, and the rest of the area was all built with massive floor-to-ceiling windows facing the inner side of the manor, the rotating roof of the castle letting in all the light, so dazzling that it was difficult to open one’s eyes. Jared, shrouded in shadows, draped in a dark silk robe, stepped on a soft white carpet.
He sauntered down the stairs, looking like a medieval emperor.
The man behind him did not dare to get too close but just bowed his head respectfully and said, “Boss, the guests of Room 401 have just arrived.
They have booked two tickets to the Gold Session, and now the only VIP box left is the one next to your room.” Jared’s charming eyes lacked expressions, his mind seemingly elsewhere.
When he heard what the man said, he replied absent-mindedly, “I’m fine with whatever you decide.” The man nodded respectfully and said, “I will arrange for someone to deliver them the tickets.
“He casually pressed a few numbers on the phone.
Jared said nothing more and continued to walk down the stairs.
His broad shoulders, long legs, and fair skin accented the vintage velvet robe extremely well, making him look as if the vampire prince straight out of an oil painting, high-and-mighty yet having a touch of elegance.
There was a hint of austere impatience in his eyes.
The slightly curled bangs swayed gently in front of his forehead and cast faint shadows on this charming face as he walked.
He looked dangerous yet mysterious.
Dino was walking up the stairs toward the two of them and put his right hand to his chest as a sign of salute when he saw Jared.
“Mr. Johnston,” he greeted.
Jared looked at him with a condescending look.
“Have you seen everything about the Gold Session this time?” Dino nodded gently.
Jared continued to walk down.
As he passed Dino, he said casually, “Get ready.
I am going back to Hustuaburg as soon as this is finished.” There was a look of surprise in Dino’s eyes, but he quickly nodded in acknowledgment.
‘Mr. Johnston has never been so eager to return to Hustuaburg In fact, he hates going back to Hustuaburg The last time he was back in Hustuaburg, he stayed for quite a long time there.
What exactly does Hustuaburg attract him to? What’s going on here?’ Dino wondered.
‘Looks like I will have to ask Max’ Dino continued to walk upwards with a faint look of bafflement, which was evident on his expressionless face
