Ch. 191..195: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 191-195
Chapter 191
Jared decided to go and meet the people in Box Two for a while.
Dino, who was behind Jared, was stupefied.
He rarely doubted his own eyes, but this time, he did.
“mr. Johnston?”
Everyone in the auction hall rubbed their eyes and looked at the numbers displayed on the massive overhead screen with their mouth agape
‘Is this person a fool?’
The blonde had also calmed down.
Performing an auctioneer’s duty, she gently tapped the auction hammer in her hand.
“The bidder of Box Two has placed a one-hundred-million dollar bid for this difficult-to-evaluate item,” said the blonde calmly.
“One hundred million once.
One hundred million twice.
One hundred million three times.
Sold.
At the moment when the blonde shouted out “sold,” Nicole’s bulky computer screen had also completed a scan for all databases, showing a line of Nicole’s personal information.
Nicole hit “Enter” calmly to delete her personal information before closing the laptop.
She lowered her hat as she was prepared to pay and leave immediately after the item was sent in.
Jared in the Box One looked back at Dino almost at the moment Nicole won the bid.
“Bring me the info of the bidders in Box Two immediately.”
Dino looked at his face and hurriedly took out his phone and said something in a foreign language.
The auction house staff were walking toward Box Two with a tray.
The moment they entered, Jared caught a glimpse of a figure wearing a baseball cap, but he looked away after that.
He wondered if Nicole would come here.
In Box Two, Nicole was sitting in a dead camera zone, calmly checking the authenticity of the item on the tray.
The auction house staff saw she was so young and had an impatient look on their faces, as they did not believe that she could come up with a hundred million dollars.
“Don’t kid with the Moon House.
Please pay now,” one staff member said.
But a senior staff member immediately stopped the first staff member.’
The inspection was an inevitable process of auctions.
It was still not too late, even if an hour had passed.
With this in mind, there was a hint of disdain on the first staff member’s face.’ Given the young age of this girl, she might have used some dirty trick to get into the VIP box,’ the staff member thought.
Nicole ignored their urging and examined the item carefully.
After confirming that it was authentic, she took out a black card and handed it to the staff.
The staff members were
shocked the moment they saw it.
Even the senior staff member looked at Nicole in disbelief.
Having worked at the Moon House for a long time, he could tell at a glance what kind of people were qualified for this card.
There was now a look of respect and fear in his eyes.
“Just a moment, please,” he said.
The staff members went out.
When the new staff members saw their faces and no one was talking, they were puzzled.
“What’s wrong with you guys? Is that girl so scary?”
Chapter 192
Nicole’s face was not clearly visible because she was wearing a hat.
However, she was apparently young, so that staff member was rude to her.
The other staff members heard what he said and glared at him.
‘This kid has almost gotten us into trouble!’
The senior staff member’s face was even graver.
He looked at that rude staff member and said in an icy voice, “Take a look at this black card.
You are fired.
You can just pack your things and leave.”
That rude staff member was surprised the moment he heard that.
He looked at the black card on the tray, and his face turned pale as if he had thought of something.
Before coming to the Moon House, someone had clearly taught them that there were only ten people in the world who could hold black cards.
All of them were the top clients of the Moon House, and no one could afford to offend them.
Unfortunately, he did not take that information seriously, thinking it would be very unlikely to meet such VIPs, not expecting that he would be so “lucky” to see one here.
Some people had not even bumped into one in their entire lifetime.
The staff member’s face was decadent, and he did not go further.
The rest of the staff members did not wait for him but walked to the trading desk
It did not take long before several staff members returned to the box, handed the card back to her, and said respectfully, “Our distinguished guest, the transaction is completed.
Do you need the Moon House to send you two back?”
“No.” Nicole shook her head.
She then casually threw the fragment into her backpack.
On the other hand, Zeke was looking at the staff members, whose attitude toward them had taken a one- eighty turn.
Nicole raised an eyebrow at him and said, “Let’s go.”
Only then did Zeke get the hint and lower the brim of his baseball cap, just as Nicole did, to hide his face in the shadows.
The two hurriedly walked out of Box Two and came down to the ground floor.
Jared was waiting in the box for Dino’s reply.
He seemed to be looking in a direction, but his mind was elsewhere.
He was a little absent-minded.
Dino had noticed something was wrong with his employer and stepped forward to ask respectfully, “Boss, are you not happy with something?”
Jared gently rubbed the index finger of his right hand and asked faintly, “When you can’t stop thinking about someone, but she has no feelings for you, what would you do?”
Dino looked at him, pondered for a second, and replied with a subtle smile in his eyes.
“I swear to you, she couldn’t be without feelings.
No one can resist your charm.” In his eyes, his boss was the most perfect person in the world, and no woman could refuse him.
Jared looked at him with amusement.
He should not have asked this loyal subordinate of his.
At this moment, Dino’s mobile phone rang.
He browsed through the information and said in a loud voice, “Boss, we got it.
This person’s name is…” his voice suddenly went low for a moment, and then it got loud again with a hint of doubt, “Doggie Anderson.”
Jared raised an eyebrow when he heard the name “Let me see.”
Dino hurriedly asked the staff to hand over a high-tech tablet.
Jared looked at the name displayed on the screen, his eyes narrowing slightly.
There was a possibility that someone among the guests might really have such a name.
But it was more likely that someone had created a virtual identity to get a gold card, infiltrated into the hotel, and ultimately made his way into the Moon House.
The person then had not only helped him raise the price of the pink diamond to ninty million dollars but spent a hundred million dollars to buy the most valuable item at the auction house.
Jared thought of the person wearing baseball cap.
But that person was a buyer who had paid a fair price for this transaction.
There was no reason for the Moon House to take action against him.
‘What if that person’s name is really Doggie Anderson?’ However, even he was dead sure that it was impossible.

Chapter 194
: Harvey looked at Zeke inquisitively with a rare, unsmiling face.
His smile returned when he shifted his attention to Nicole.
“What a coincidence, Nicole.
I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Nicole glanced at Harvey.
It was the first time she had seen him since that night.
He had changed little, but she had an unexplained feeling that something was different about him.
She nodded at him, said not a word, then took Zeke downstairs.
Harvey felt depressed when he saw Nicole’s distant attitude and how merciless she was toward him and his grandfather the other day.
Instead of reaching out to grab Nicole, he looked at them from behind with gloomy eyes.
He wondered why Nicole was in this hotel.
It was not long before Edwin returned and gleefully asked Harvey, “Guess who I saw!”
Harvey glanced at him with a faint smile.
Edwin did not mind but pulled open the door with one hand with a mysterious expression.” You’ll never think of it.
I’ll tell you, it was-”
“It was Nicole,” Harvey said softly, without waiting for Edwin to finish.
He stood and looked back at Edwin with a smile.
“I saw her.
She’s staying in the room next door.”
Edwin was bursting with excitement.
“The room next door? Room 405?”
Room 402 was opposite Room 403, which adjoined Room 401 and 405.
Edwin certainly would not have thought that Nicole could afford to stay in the most expensive Room 401.
After all, even he and Harvey could only stay in Room 403 and Room 404.
Harvey shook his head and looked downstairs thoughtfully.
Edwin was stunned.
“So, her room is Room 401?”
Harvey did not look at him or reply, so Edwin knew Harvey’s silence meant yes.
His shocked expression slowly faded.
He then entered Room 404, sat on the couch with his mind full of doubts.
Edwin met Nicole on the first floor, thinking that the rooms on the second floor were the most she could afford, not expecting that she was staying in Room 401.
That room was of class even higher than his and Harvey’s.
‘Just who is this Nicole?’ he wondered.
After Nicole and Zeke left the hotel, they sauntered down the street.
Zeke’s eyes darted around the bustling street scenes excitedly.
However, he was puzzled at the thought of the two guys they met in the hotel just now.
“Tell me honestly, Nicole.
Who are those two guys? What is your relationship with them?” Zeke asked.
He was keenly aware that something was amiss with the identities of the two guys.
Nicole gave Zeke a casual glance and did not mind his tone of voice.
“They’re students in my school, but we aren’t close.”
Zeke looked at her fixedly for a few seconds and admitted to himself with frustration that he could not tell if Nicole was lying.
So, he did not harp on the matter but rushed to the food stall up ahead.
He found that street food was the best no matter which country he was in.
Had he not had gastroenteritis as a child and his dad would not allow him to take even a bite, he would have tasted every street food in San Joto he could find.
Just as Zeke rushed ahead with excitement, Nicole grabbed him by the back of his neck and squinted at him.
Chapter 195
Chapter 195 “You’re only allowed to take a few bites.”
She knew Zeke had a bad stomach.
Because of that, their missions were often disrupted, and he was hospitalized a few times.
Zeke’s excitement died down instantly the moment he heard that.
But he quickly comforted himself, “Better than nothing,” and continued to dart toward the food stalls.
Nicole did not stop him again but slowly followed him.
The two of them sat down in front of a stall.
The stall owner who thought they did not speak the local language asked them in poor Esperian what they would like to eat.
Nicole looked at the many types of food in front of her eyes.
“What do you like?” she asked Zeke softly.
Zeke pointed to a few sticks of grilled chili peppers.
“I want this!”
Nicole looked at him expressionlessly.
“No.”
Zeke looked disappointed and then cautiously pointed to the grilled fish marinated with a layer of red, spicy oil.
“How about this?”
“No.” Nicole still gave the same answer.
At last, Zeke could only order a bowl of ramen with extreme disgruntlement.
The ramen tasted bland to his taste bud as he looked indignantly at Nicole, in front of whom were chili peppers and grilled fish.
When Nicole slowly savored the food in front of her with a straight face, Zeke could not believe his eyes.
He wondered if the food was as spicy as he had imagined.
Even the stall owner was puzzled, doubting if the chili peppers he used had expired.
But that was impossible.
He apparently had only taken the chili pepper out last night.
No way it would lose its spiciness so quickly.
When Nicole ordered food just now,, she had spoken local language.
That impressed the stall owner, who started to become curious about Nicole, He could not help but ask, “Isn’t it spicy?”
“It’s okay,” Nicole replied nonchalantly.
Zeke had no idea what the two were saying, but he could guess something through the stall owner’s expression.
He secretly grabbed a dried chili pepper in front of Nicole and put some in his mouth while Nicole was talking to the stall owner.
He immediately felt a spicy taste coming from his lips, and his lower lip was swollen with a burning sensation.
He quickly spat out the pepper and drank several mouthfuls of water.
Zeke then mumbled,” Nicole, are you still a human?” It was so spicy, yet she remained so nonchalant.
Nicole looked at Zeke with a half-smile.
She had already noticed his action earlier but did not
expose him.
She wanted him to know his limit through mistakes.
The stall owner looked at the two of them with a smile on his tanned face.
Just then, Nicole felt a gust of wind from behind.
Her expression became grave in an instant as she tilted her head slightly to the side.
Immediately, a wooden plank hit the grilled fish and smashed it in front of her.
Zeke looked at the grilled fish with a trace of anger slowly creeping across his face.
He jerked his head back, looking at the person behind him with fiery eyes.
It turned out that the attacker was a local guy with profound facial features.
A group of guys in messy and dirty punk attires was wielding wooden sticks and crowbars in their hands.
All of them had their hair dyed in different colors.
However, as if they had not washed it for many days, the supposedly bright color had turned dull.
The leading guy, a blue-haired man, looked at Nicole with amazement.
“This chick is stunning!”
