Ch. 1761..1765: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1761-1765
Chapter 1761
Even though Nachelle was unhappy with Nicole the day before, she still could not resist and felt admiration for Nicole.
The way Nicole was strong and independent, it suited her very much.
At this, Nachelle walked forward and continued speaking to Miley.
“Nicole's right.
After the police make their judgment, we'll sue Chloe soon and ask for triple compensation.
Please pass on the message to her." “N-NO!" Miley was immediately stunned.
"W-where's Chloe going to get so much money?" The earnings Chloe was getting from this project was large.
Previously, when Miley had found out about the amount, she was elated.
Naturally, she knew how much triple compensation would amount to! Even if Miley were to take out all her personal savings, it would not be enough to save Chloe.
If Damien found out that Miley had met the production team and brought back such a huge problem, he would definitely scold her! Perhaps, he might lay his hands on her too.
"That's your problem.
Guards, please get her out of here!" Nachelle had no patience left to deal with Miley.
"No! You can't! You can't do this to me!" Seeing that Nachelle called more guards to chase them out, Miley knew that the two bodyguards she brought along would not overpower them.
She was extremely upset.
Nachelle glanced at Miley.
"I can't? Who are you to tell me what to and not to do?" Miley immediately lost all hope.
She always thought that even if she had lost her status from the Rogers family, she was still Damien Riddle's wife.
Now that the Riddle family was gaining some fame and attention, outsiders would give way to her.
Unexpectedly, she was good for nothing in other people's eyes.
Nicole coldly watched as Miley was dragged out.
The expression on Nicole's face was extremely cold.
Miley really dug her own grave to have ended up like this.
At that moment, Nachelle stood beside Nicole.
"You're really smart to have reminded me about the triple compensation.
That would've compensated for the loss we suffered these few days." Although Nicole was cold to her son, Nachelle still admired her decisive character.
She liked it even more that Nicole could be this decisive when facing her own family members.
Nicole laughed lightly.
"You flatter me, Nachelle.
After all, it was my family that caused you trouble.
It's only right for us to compensate you." Nachelle smiled playfully.
"Alright.
Let's not waste any more time.
We'll begin shooting now." "Alright." Nicole knew that Nachelle was not as annoyed with her anymore.
So, she tried her best to cooperate.
With Miley causing a scene just now, the production team seem to have come alive.
Nachelle's attitude toward Nicole returned to being warm again.
Although Lloyd was still silent, he seemed to be in a better state than the day before.
In fact, the shoot which would initially take five hours to complete was settled in just three hours.
Most of it was completed in just one shot by the both of them.
After the shoot had finished, Lloyd did not say anything and left immediately.
Nicole let out a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to leave, Nachelle called out to her.
"Nicole, please wait for a while."
Chapter 1762
Nicole looked back and looked at Nachelle indifferently.
" Anything else, Nachelle?" Nachelle paused and called Nicole aside.
"You're aware of Lloyd's behavior today, right?" She had already tried her best to change his mind, but he just would not listen to her.
Now, the only person who could do that was Nicole.
Nicole arched her eyebrow.
"I think he's acting the same.
He's always been like that." Back when they were on missions, Lloyd would return home and ignore her for a few days if she came off too strong and made Lloyd upset.
Nachelle did not expect Nicole to find this normal when she thought it was something serious.
She could not help but look a little awkward.
"That was when he was younger.
Now that he's back home, we've always treated him like our precious baby, so he's rarely this upset.
Nicole smiled.
"That proves that you're not close with him." Nachelle was stunned...
‘who on earth would tell a mother that she's not close with her own son?! But she was at a loss for words when she looked into Nicole's affirmative gaze.
And that was because...
Though she found Lloyd, she was not with him during the most crucial point of his life—his character developmental stage.
For that reason, Nicole might be right.
She was the one who was always by his side during those times.
Nicole lowered her voice nicely after noticing that Nachelle was deep in her thoughts.
"Don't worry, Nachelle.
Though your son likes to split hairs, he's capable of sorting it out himself.
Give it three days.
He'll return to the usual Lloyd by then.
He just hasn't got his thoughts sorted out yet." Funnily, Nachelle was slightly relieved after Nicole comforted her.
"For real?" she asked.
"Yeah.
If he still hasn't returned to normal after three days, you can come to me.” Then, Nicole turned and left with confidence.
In a daze, Nachelle wanted to call out to her, but she did not.
‘Nicole might be right.’ Nachelle wanted to warn Nicole not to make her son sad anymore.
‘But why did she get the upper hand in the end?’ Nachelle sighed and left.
She was skeptical.
Though she did not like the way Nicole treated her son, she admired Nicole's character.
'How frustrating.' "Start the car." Nachelle ordered the driver to leave that place after she got into the car.
Meanwhile, Nicole had also left the crew.
Jared had already received her message and was waiting for her at the entrance.
She rarely finished early, so she immediately got into the car.
" Where are we going?" Jared looked at her happy expression.
"You're done early today.
Is that why you're so happy?" "Obviously.
I don't like feeling busy." She really did not like going for her shoot right after class.
It was really busy.
"Get it done as soon as possible if you don't like it." "Sure.
I did some planning.
The remaining scenes will probably be done in a month." Jared was shocked when he heard that.
It was impossible for a TV show to finish filming in 3 months unless the actors involved can finish every scene in one take.
Chapter 1763
'How powerful is Nicole?"
"But we still have to see who we're dealing with.Fortunately, the Holder family's crew is rich.Everyone's experienced, so their acting skills are okay."
Nicole smiled.
"But I might be stopping somebody from earning money by ending the filming soon, so I don't know if they'd cooperate with me." Jared smiled coldly.
"I'm one of the investors, so if there's a chance to speed up the process, I'll definitely try my best to do it."
"Yes.You're my biggest investor."
Nicole arched her eyebrow, looking extremely pleased.
At that moment, Max had already started driving to a seafood restaurant.Nicole pouted when she saw the restaurant.
"Actually, I'd prefer going to the new house."
‘There's probably a lot of functions that I haven't discovered there"
Jared could tell that she was curious, but he just smiled and said, "We still have to keep the new house mysterious."
Resigned, Nicole could only comply.So, Jared walked into the fancy restaurant with her.
There was an elevator right at the entrance, and the pair got into the elevator to go to the lower-ground restaurant.
The next thing that they saw stunned them in awe.
The whole restaurant was shaped like a globe as it had curved glass for walls.
On the other side of the glass, there were actual sea animals! There were various kinds of fish, and it looked incredibly stunning.
There was even a glowing jellyfish swimming in the middle! It was nothing but beautiful.Nicole raised her eyebrows.
"How did you find such a nice restaurant?" Jared looked at her.
"Do you like it?"
"Of course."
He then smiled in delight.
"It's yours if you like it."
Nicole was shocked when she finally realized what he meant.
"You own this restaurant?!"
'No wonder I've never seen such a nice restaurant."
‘Come to think of it, if a nice place like this existed before, Jared would've taken me here a long time ago"
"Yeah, my mom created this design before she passed away, and I've started working on it ever since I got back here.Today is its first day of business."
Nicole was both excited and shocked.
This restaurant had such sentimental value to Jared, and he came with her on the opening day.
Around them were a few pairs of couples, and the whole place felt extremely cozy.
"It's too beautiful..."
Nicole had been to many high-end places, but this was her first time being in such a heavenly place.
"Was your mom a designer?"
"Yeah."
Jared nodded and pulled out the chair for Nicole like a gentleman.
Nicole sat down excitedly.
The food that was served to them was different types of seafood, including abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin and more...
Nicole arched an eyebrow.
"This feels...a little cruel."
Jared smiled.
"Is it? It's all related to the sea.Don't you think it's nice?"
"Well, you're not wrong..."
Nicole thought that most people would agree with Jared.
But she was different.
Jared was already used to her uniqueness, so he did not mind.He then poured her a warm special beverage.
Nicole took a sip of it.
'It tastes woody"
Jared swirled his drink as well.
"This is a tea that is specially brewed to warm you up.It has a unique aromatic scent to it, but it's actually brewed with herbs."
Nicole arched her brows as she was familiar with herbs.
'Turning herbs into drinks...What an interesting idea"
"Not bad.I like it very much."
She really enjoyed artistic places like this.
Nicole spoke as she ate.
"This is a huge restaurant.It must've cost a lot, right? It's not easy to get this location too."
"Yeah." Jared smiled.
"200 million dollars."
Nicole was in awe.
'The rich sure are powerful.No one else would spend 200 million dollars just to open a restaurant"
"The seats are fully booked until half a year later.The customers today are normal people who won a lucky draw, so you don't have to worry about them recognizing us."
Chapter 1764
That was why he was not afraid to let Nicole dine in today.
A place like this needed more people to feel cozy.He was worried that she might feel a sense of emptiness if there were not many people present in the location.
"What a relief."
Nicole smiled and continued eating.
Jared then began a conversations about matters which were more serious in nature while he was drinking.
"The police have taken care of Chloe, and her manager's identification has been taken.Chloe will be sued for intentional assault on two occasions tomorrow."
Nicole arched her brows.
"Including this time?"
"Yeah.Nachelle has the footage, and she has sent it to me already."Jared nodded with a serious look on his face.
Nicole did not think that Nachelle would send it to Jared, but then again, since Jared was one of the investors, he had every right to know.
Due to that, Nicole did not have to think about it any further.
' Chloe should take responsibility for her actions.She should accept the legal repercussions of her actions, no matter how heavy they are"
"I'm guessing she's hopeless now."
Nicole lifted her brows, her eyes void of all emotions.
Indeed, Chloe deserved it.
"She will have to pay an expensive fine and go to prison on top of suffering a grievous injury.The entertainment industry wouldn't want someone with that sort of dirt attached to their name, like ever."
As such, Chloe was completely done for.
"I think Damien's family detests me now."
Nicole looked at Jared as she said, though there was no fear in her tone at all.In response, Jared smiled and scoffed.
"He got himself into this situation, so he definitely deserved it."
The dumbest thing Chloe had ever done was pick a fight with Nicole.
Otherwise, a top-tier star like her would not have been caught in a situation like that.
"Yeah, they're shmucks."
Nicole's gaze darkened as her expression grew smug.She had been tolerating for long enough, and this was her breaking point.
In fact, she was probably too kind to them, which in turn made them think that she was soft and vulnerable.
"Speaking of Damien, Everett is his eldest son, right?"
Jared's gaze darkened.
Nicole frowned.
"Why did you bring him up out of nowhere?"
Everett was a creepy figure and had always kept to himself, but when he said what he had said weeks ago in defense of Damien, Nicole knew that he was neither a simpleton nor a pushover.Jared's grew even darker.
"The fingerprint that you've gotten from the race car belonged to his men."
Nicole did not expect Max to give Jared the investigation results first.She looked at Max, who was standing in a corner, and that was when he shrank in awkwardness.
After all, Jared was his boss, so it was natural for him to give Jared his updates once he had discovered something.
Nicole took a deep breath.She had planned to take care of this when Max told her the culprit.
‘But whatever.I have to tell Jared sooner or later anyway, so it's fine"
Still she was curious.
"I don't know Everett very well, and he...actually did this to my race car?"
They did not really have cause to get into scuffles with each other.
Nicole could understand if Chloe had done it, but why would Everett do it? "He's fine when he doesn't do anything, but when he does, he's lethal.You should be careful of people like him."
Nicole frowned.
"Did you call the cops?"
Jared's gaze darkened.
"Yeah, but his lackey cooperated and turned himself in within an hour before I could even report to the police.Even if he gets sued, his sentence will most probably be lightened as well.Besides, he has a lawyer, and is dead set on not meeting anyone."
Even if Jared wanted to force him to expose the main culprit, he could not do so.
After all, the law existed, and even if Jared wanted the police to enforce it, he needed sufficient evidence.
Chapter 1765
"He has already admitted to the crime and has taken the blame."
Jared's gaze became murderous.
"The person who had hired him sure had everything thought out."
It was then that Nicole thought about Everett's nonchalant gaze.She had never paid much attention to Everett as his parents did not seem like they cared much about their son as well.
"Maybe he's doing it for his family." Nicole scoffed.
After all, she had really done a number on Damien, and Chloe was suffering from severe paraplegia.Jared shook his head sternly.
"No.Damien being separated from the family and Chloe being paralyzed happened recently.But Everett had already begun targeting you before Chloe was even admitted into the hospital..."
A sudden realization then dawned upon Nicole as her pupils contracted.
"So, what you're saying is that...he has other motives?"
"Of course.If that is not the case, why would he immediately want you dead?" he asked.
Nicole quickly recalled what Damien had said.
"I think Damien wants to find the other crests."
Jared immediately understood the entire situation after Nicole reminded him of it.
"Only five Reby Family crests exist, but only one was found hundreds of years later.Where would he find them? Unless..."
Nicole's eyes widened as she said through gritted teeth, "They kill me."
The Raven had this in mind, and Nicole's family wanted to kill her because of the crest as well.To add to that, Damien's son was actually willing to kill someone just so that his father could get the crest.
"Your relatives...are all snakes." Jared sneered.
The people in the Riddle family were all much more wicked that anyone else around them.
Mr.Riddle Sr"s generation was great, but things began to go south in Damien's generation.
This was not because they were incompetent, but it was because they all had ill intentions, so much so that they would even set their family up.
"Yeah.I didn't expect the person who rarely spoke to me to be the most dangerous one of the lot."
Nicole squinted and her eyes turned ice cold the instant she thought of Everett.
"Well, I want to see what he's going to do to me!" Even The Raven failed to kill her, so what chance did Everett have? He was nothing.
"What's your plan?"
Jared became curious when he saw Nicole's fighting spirit.
"I hold grudges.Let's just say that I'll give him a taste of his own medicine," Nicole said casually as if she was just talking about the weather.
"Same here.I've already sent my men over."
Jared looked at Nicole and smiled.
"That's my woman.We're so similar and compatible with one another."
Nicole did not expect Jared to think that way as well, and so, the plan of action had been decided upon.She swirled her drink and looked at Jared flirtatiously.
"I'm glad that you're my man too.We're always on the same wavelength."
Jared instantly chuckled when he saw her enchanting gaze.
"Haha! We're a match made in heaven, indeed!"Hearing that, Nicole broke out laughing too.
"The perfect couple."
"Cheers to us!"
Jared raised his glass with a smile, and Nicole struck her glass against his.Then, they both downed their glasses of wine happily.
On the other hand, Everett was sitting in the backseat of the car after work, listening to his assistant's updates.
"Everett, Cam is most likely going to stay in prison.Mr.Fox can only help lighten his sentence, but Cam said that he won't drag you into it.I took care of his family today, so there's nothing for you to worry about."
