Ch. 1791..1795: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1791-1795

Chapter 1791

Nicole found it hilarious when she thought about it, and after taking a shower, she went downstairs.

Seeing that the servants were about to prepare dinner, Nicole smiled and said to Gloria, "Mom, let's eat out tonight."

Gloria, who was shocked, went on to ask, "Why?"

Nicole's gaze turned to Sean who was sitting directly across. "Because I've earned a huge amount of money today. I'll treat everyone."

Sean immediately understood what Nicole had meant, to which he placed his notebook down and replied, "Are you referring to...Howdy Corporation's ten million dollars?"

"Bingo!" Nicole smiled. "You're a smart cookie."

Sean did not foresee that Nicole would successfully scam Howdy Corporation of their money in such a short span of time.

"Ten million?" Gloria asked.

She did not have the slightest idea about anything that had transpired in the company, and she did not know what kind of company Howdy Corporation was either. But when she heard the words, 'ten million dollars', she was shocked.

"Nicole...you were the one who got it?"

'She is still a high-schooler. How did she earn such a huge sum?' Gloria wondered.

With just a small thing, she had already procured ten million dollars.

In return, Nicole smiled. "Yeah, I've received some tasks from my work as a hacker. I did think that I had earned a fortune. Anyway, let's go. I'd like to reward my brothers, and at the same time, relief Spencer and Samuel of their shock."

Gloria became excited at once. "Being a hacker could actually earn you so much money..."

She knew that Nicole had added a firewall for the company, but she definitely did not expect Nicole to be this smart and earn them so much money.

"If that's the case, we really should celebrate! I'll go ahead and ask Steve as well as Stanley," Gloria said as she headed upstairs to find the boys.

Meanwhile, Sean remained and stared at Nicole in admiration. "Nicole, you really do live up to your own words."

"It would be a waste not to receive that which is god sent," Nicole smiled slyly.

Then, Sean asked. "Aren't you scared that they would cause a scene when they realize how useless that information is?"

In a playful tone, she replied, "Honestly? I'd be more worried if they don't come and find me."

Upon hearing that, Sean became annoyed that his own sister would be so daring. "That's true. If he finds you and realizes that you are the God that he has been praying to, he'll definitely fall apart."

Nicole then flashed Sean another playful smile. "Of course."

After half an hour, the Riddle family appeared at San Joto's most extravagant restaurant. They had booked the VIP private room and were already prepared to feast.

Although Spencer and Samuel were still in a daze, they definitely felt better at being able to dine in.

After everyone had taken their seats, they began to make their orders.

Daniel, on the other hand, was looking at Nicole. He was riding in the same car with Sean on the way there, so he had heard about it.

"Howdy reacting so quickly is something that I did not anticipate. They actually paid you really soon," he commented.

Nicole smiled. "Yeah, I did not see that coming either."

'They did not even bother to check if those items were usable. Honestly, I can't tell if they were too confident with themselves, or if were they counting on this God they have been praying to,' she thought.

But just as Nicole was about to order something, a commotion manifested just outside of the door.

"Sir, you can't go in! This room is already occupied!" the server said.

"I want to see who the person who had taken my private room is! Get off!" The man pushed the door aggressively, and barged in.

Steve and Sean felt that the voice sounded familiar. They turned around to get a good look, and unexpectedly, it was Mr. Howde of the Howdy Corporation.

'W-what a small world, really.'

 

Chapter 1792

Obviously, the last thing Mr. Howde had expected was to meet the Riddles here.

He took a glance, and it seemed to him that the entire unit was there for a family dinner.

When he remembered that the Riddle family's data was in his hands, he knew he would soon dredge some dark secrets up that would send them into bankruptcy. As of now, they were still in the mood to gather for a family dinner leisurely. It was a scene that Mr. Howde was happy to witness.

"I was still wondering who it would be, and it turns out to be Mr. Daniel and Miss Nicole. From the looks of it, you're having a family dinner?" Mr. Howde looked at them weirdly.

At that moment, Colton appeared from behind.

Mr. Howde had initially wanted to treat his hacker to a meal, as he had successfully completed their mission. But when Mr. Howde arrived, he noticed that his usual room had been given to other people about five minutes ago. As such, Mr. Howde had rushed over to see who was occupying it.

Unexpectedly, it was Daniel and his family!

Watching the entire family which had caused his own to suffer a reputational disaster gathering together for dinner made Colton furious.

But, the moment he saw Nicole, he was frightened. Thus, all he could do was stand behind Mr. Howde, waiting and observing.

Still, they managed to convince themselves that they had, in their possession, dirt against the Riddle family. Due to this, there was no reason for the two to be scared of them, or so they thought.

With this in mind, Colton straightened his body.

As Steve watched Mr. Howde strutting into the room arrogantly, he was filled with disgust.

His words were brimming with impatience as well. "Mr. Howde, are you blind? You've seen what you wanted to see already. Aren't you going to leave?"

Mr. Howde became really unhappy at that moment. He used to be terrified of the brothers, but now, he seemed to have found a new sense of confidence to stand against them.

"Mr. Steve, you really have a bad temper. Do you really think that I won't dare to do anything to you because you have something on me?"

After finishing his sentence, Mr. Howde's eyes darkened. "From today onwards, all of you should be wary of me!"

Sean became dumbfounded when he saw how arrogant and vain Mr. Howde was.

Nonetheless, he snorted and pretended to play along, "Oh? What do you mean by that? Why should we be wary of you?"

Looking at how curious Sean was, Mr. Howde cackled. "Hah! You really thought that we'd just roll over and take it lying down after you've hired a hacker to break into our accounts? Let me tell you, it's not just your company's accounts. Your company's core documents are all in my hands now!"

Mr. Howde was so proud that his eyes had reddened. Nicole looked at him and thought he resembled a clown.

Samuel and Spencer were disgusted as they looked at Mr. Howde, and could not resist themselves from mocking him coldly. "Are you drunk?"

"I think it looks more like he's daydreaming."

They all knew that Nicole had just installed a firewall to the company's system today, and they were confident in Nicole's capabilities. As such, it made little sense as to how this man could steal their company's important documents.

"You don't believe me?" While speaking, Mr. Howde whipped his phone out and opened a file for Sean to see. "Look! Are these your company's accounts?"

He had opened two documents and saved it in his phone in case he needed it.

Mr. Howde was sure that when Sean and the rest saw it, they would be scared to death.

However, Sean proceeded to grab the phone calmly and peruse the contents.

Then, he played along and feigned surprise. "H-how did you get this?"

Seeing that Sean was frowning, Mr. Howde really thought that he had scared Sean, and therefore, he replied, "Haha! You did not see this coming, did you? I've contacted the world's best hacker on the Hunters! Lucifer! He had hacked into your company's system! Now, I have a copy of all of your company's documents!"

Once Mr. Howde had announced that, everyone became shocked.

Gloria, Samuel and Spencer were not informed about it, and thus, they seemed nervous.

But after they saw how confident and calm Daniel, Sean and Steve were, they roughly guessed that things were not as serious as they seemed.

Chapter 1793

Colton could also feel that something weird was going on. 'What is going on? Why does Daniel and Nicole seem to be so calm? It's as if...they knew what was coming.'

"It must have been no easy feat. No wonder our company's server got invaded earlier this morning. So, it was you who did it." Sean looked at Mr. Howde grimly while his hands were still on the phone.

When Mr. Howde heard that they had faced a breach this morning, he became even smugger about it. "That's right, it was me! Now, my company has a copy of all of your vital information! Sean, Steve, I'll just lay it out right here, and right now, even though you've won the bidding last time. If you'd like to keep the business for the Riddle Corporation running, you better back out and return the project to us!"

They did not expect Mr. Howde to fantasize about getting the project back for himself.

Hearing this, Steve could not help but laugh. "Fools show up every year, but as of this year, we seem to be getting a lot of them. Mr. Howde? Do you actually think you have what it takes to threaten the Riddle Corporation? I suggest you return home and reflect on yourself!"

Mr. Howde's face turned dark, "How dare you pick a fight with me? You better be careful. I'll send your accounts to the tax bureau tomorrow!"

Spencer and Samuel instantly panicked upon hearing that.

At that point, Sean was already too tired to continue playing along with Mr. Howde, and so, he smirked. "Mr. Howde, you're really an interesting person. You're actually interested in accounts done by an intern."

"What are you talking about?" Mr. Howde was stunned, as he seemingly had not caught what Sean was talking about.

However, Colton had already sensed that something was off.

Sean's expression turned icy as he continued, "Take a look at the account statement you showed me. Has it been stamped by the company's law accountant? That is just a practice statement done by an intern who is learning how to manage the accounts. All the numbers have been filled in randomly. Can't you tell?"

"What? How is that possible?" Mr. Howde was shocked.

He quickly zoomed into the picture on his phone, and sure enough, there was no stamp on it!

'But, how is that possible?'

If it was something that the world's best hacker had dredged up, it should be the most useful one! However, Mr. Howde had gone through everything and these two documents were indeed the most detailed ones. Therefore, it made little sense as to why they were not stamped.

"It does not matter whether it's possible or not. What matters the most is that there isn't any stamp on it. Even if you manage to send it to any of the relevant authorities, we could claim that you've forged these."

Sean playfully got up and looked at Mr. Howde, thinking that the expression on Mr. Howde's face seemed musing that day.

"You!" Mr. Howde was so angry that he was rendered speechless.

Knowing that he might have been fooled, Mr. Howde quickly went through the other documents. However, none of them were stamped either.

It was at that moment that he knew that he had been fooled!

"D*mn it! I was fooled!" Mr. Howde turned around and looked at Colton. "That hacker gave me useless information!"

"How could it be? How about your money?" Colton asked in utter surprise.

Indeed, the price to hire hackers was not cheap, and yet, he had received a bunch of garbage. That was unfair!

Nicole had never expected to witness Mr. Howde and Colton's interesting expressions with her own eyes.

"The money, I've already transferred it an hour ago..." Mr. Howde's face turned pale.

He never thought that he would meet a scammer on an international hackers' platform.

Chapter 1794

Colton was appalled. "Huh?"

He did not expect Mr. Howde, who was a calculative person, to fall into such a trap. The cherry on top was, he had actually transferred the money immediately.

Witnessing this, the Riddle family could not help but laugh, with Spencer and Samuel doing so hysterically.

"With this level of IQ, you dream of competing with us? I guess the actual problem is not the company's performance, but your brain!"

"That's right!'

Being ridiculed by the Riddle family's boys, Mr. Howde panicked and yelled, "Who are you talking about?"

And just after he had uttered the last word, he wanted to grab Samuel.

However, Samuel managed to send Mr. Howde away with a shove.

"You want to lay your hands on me? Do you think you could fight me? You old man!" Samuel coldly shook his wrist.

Although he was not as much of a fighter as Nicole, he was still capable enough to teach this old man a lesson.

Then, Spencer stood up, and Stanley followed suit.

Seeing that Daniel had so many sons, Mr. Howde knew that he was no match for them and gritted his teeth out of hatred.

Colton noticed the situation and quickly pulled Mr. Howde away. "Mr. Howde, this is an emergency. It's best for you to contact the hacker and retrieve the money that you've been scammed!"

Mr. Howde came back to his senses, and with a look of annoyance on his face, he said, "Right, this whole thing was caused by the hacker! I must get back my money! Otherwise, I'll expose her on the Hunter!"

"What a naive man. Do you really think that people will buy into your crap just because of a few words?" Nicole abruptly asked.

Mr. Howde was stunned. He looked back and stared at Nicole who had remained silent the whole time.

At that moment, he could tell that she was mocking him through her frosty gaze. "It's none of your business! You're just a child. Shut up!"

He did not care if Nicole was the successor of the Fire Crest. All Mr. Howde wanted was to kill each and every single member of the Riddle family.

"Of course it is her business." Sean looked at Mr. Howde playfully, secretly rearing to know what Mr. Howde's reaction would be when he discovered Nicole's actual identity.

Mr. Howde was dumbfounded by that statement. "What are you talking about?"

Then, he snapped back to reality. "Is it possible that you've bribed the hacker?"

'It must be. Otherwise, why would the famous hacker on the Hunter scam us without caring about his own reputation?' he thought.

As Nicole saw how riled up Mr. Howde was, her laugh became even more diabolical. "We did not spend a single penny."

When Mr. Howde heard it, he became even more furious. "How is that possible? That hacker had charged me ten million dollars!"

Hearing the word 'ten million', Gloria froze for a moment, after which she turned to Nicole and said, "Nicole, you mentioned that you received a hacking task and earned ten million bucks. Is it...?"

Sean did not expect the bomb which he had wanted to drop to be revealed by Gloria first.

At that moment, all eyes were on Nicole...

Samuel and Spencer were surprised too. "Huh? Nicole, you said that you've earned a huge sum of money and wanted to treat us to a meal. That money, was Mr. Howde's?"

'D*mn! This is interesting!'

The one that had been scammed was standing right in front of them, watching the scammer use his money to have a lavish meal!

At this rate, Mr. Howde was left completely speechless.

Colton was also shocked. "Wh-What is going on?"

Even Steve, who was in the blur, could tell what was going on.

He then revealed the truth with a wicked smile on his face. "Don't you understand? The hacker which Mr. Howde had hired is right in our midst!"

While speaking, Steve looked at Nicole.

At that moment, everyone had a definitive answer in their heart.

Chapter 1795

"No freaking way! This is just insane!" Spencer exclaimed, gawking at Nicole.

And he was true, for the whole thing was utterly absurd. They were dining on money stolen from the very people who had now walked right into their trap, only to be humiliated. When Mr. Howde finally realized the truth, his face turned a sickly shade of green.

"No way! I hired the Hunters, the best freaking hackers in the world! How could it be her?" Mr. Howde asked himself, unable to believe that this young girl could be the legendary hacker he was after.

Nicole saw his disbelief and decided to drop the act. "Mr. Howde, you wired me ten million this afternoon. Want me to recite your account number for you?"

At this juncture, Mr. Howde and Colton could not deny it any longer—she even knew Mr. Howde's account number, and thus, she had to be the real deal.

"You! You scam artist! Give me back my money!" Mr. Howde roared, charging at Nicole.

However, it was then that Samuel and Spencer, like two bouncers, blocked his path. The two hulking, five foot ten men completely dwarfed Mr. Howde, who could barely even see Nicole now.

Furious, he stomped his foot. "Move! Give me my money back or I'll expose you all and call the police!"

Nicole could not help but laugh at Mr. Howde's naive and empty threat. "You hired a hacker to break into someone's system and you're going to call the police? Really? If anything, they'll arrest you for stealing corporate secrets."

Mr. Howde blanched, realizing his mistake.

Nonetheless, even though calling the police was not an option, he still threatened. "Don't think I can't take you down, girl! I'll ruin your reputation as the number one hacker!"

Nicole scoffed. "The job you posted online was to get data from the Riddle Corporation's computers. I did that for you. The job's done, and there's nothing wrong with it. If you expose me, everyone will see Howdy Corporation as the bad guys, and no one will work for you ever again."

She secretly hoped he would expose her. All her fellow hackers would unite against Mr. Howde, refusing to take his jobs, and the world would be a better place without his dirty tactics when it came to stealing secrets.

"You! You!"

Mr. Howde had never been cornered like this before. As both of his options were exhausted, blood rushed to his head in an instant. His eyes rolled back, and that was when he passed out cold.

"Mr. Howde!" Colton gasped, catching the unconscious man.

Mr. Howde had finally blacked out.

Outnumbered and outwitted, Colton had no choice but to call for help. "Hey, what are you waiting for? Help me carry him out!"

The servers finally rushed over, stumbling over themselves as they carried Mr. Howde away.

Colton, feeling embarrassed, straightened his clothes and tried to save whatever dignity he had left as he shot Daniel a glance. "Miss Riddle, you're good. You win this round."

In response, Stanley coldly said, "Drop the 'round.' When you win, you win."

Choked, Colton could not utter a word. He turned on his heel, huffed, and stormed off.

Finally, with the unwelcome guests gone, the group burst into laughter.

Steve could not help but say, "Haha! That Mr. Howde always loved playing games and bossing people around. Never thought he'd be so humiliated by Nicole that he'd pass out."

"I didn't expect it either. He's so weak." Sean smirked with satisfaction.

Nicole looked at Sean. "You're getting devious, purposely revealing my identity just to rile him up."

Sean grinned mischievously. "Of course. Seeing his face when he found out who you were was just too satisfying."
