Ch. 201..205: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 201-205
Chapter 201
Nicole did not turn back, but her voice eased somewhat.
“When we reach the ground floor, keep your mouth shut like now.” Zeke nodded sullenly.
He had this issue where he would talk nonstop when excited or nervous.
The two went downstairs.
Little did they know that Edwin, who walked out of his room earlier, had listened to the conversation just as they left and came to Harvey’s room.
“Harvey, guess what I just heard the hotel manager say to Nicole.” Harvey’s face remained the same as he said, “What did they say?” Edwin looked at Harvey.
The latter was as calm as he was, as if nothing could ever affect him.” It seems like Nicole is wanted by the police,” said Edwin.
Hearing this, Harvey, who was wiping his hair, paused as he let out a calm smile at Edwin.
“Edwin, wait for me outside.” He then turned around to change as if he had not heard anything.
Looking at Harvey’s rather impassive eyes, Edwin smiled.
“Harvey, you don’t seem to be in a hurry after hearing this.” Harvey gently raised his gaze as he looked at the bright sky outside the window.
“The one that shouldn’t be panicking is me.” He thought, ‘It’s still too early to show up now.
I need to wait until the most opportune time.
Only the moment she’s cornered will my action have the most effect.’ Ever since he was a child, patience was his virtue.
Edwin looked at Harvey and did not say much else.
He simply just nodded.
“I might not be able to wait for you, Harvey.” He straightened his tie as he waved at the latter.
“I’m quite anxious.”
One can imagine how helpless a girl like Nicole, who was called by the police while being in a foreign land, would be.
Since they were schoolmates, Edwin felt he should help if he could.
Edwin quickly walked out.
When Harvey heard the door closing, he slowly clenched his fingers.
His face soon turned expressionless as he almost crushed the remote control in his hand.
‘I cannot let Edwin be one step ahead of me,’ he thought.
Tossing the towel aside, he put on his suit, took his car keys, and left the room.
Nicole had already come downstairs, and she looked at the group of officers and a few other familiar faces before her, her ice-cold face impassive.
When Yellowhead saw Nicole walking out, a menacing smile appeared on his face as he said to the officers, “it’s her, good sir.
This wench beat the five of us up.
Arrest her, quick!”
The police officer looked at Nicole with surprise, yet as Yellowhead yelled, he coughed and said to Nicole, “Miss, you are alleged of battery, Please come with us.” Zeka then said to the officer.
“Sir, this person provoked us first.
They were the ones who struck first.
How can you arrest her just like that?”
The officers could not be bothered by that.
Yellowhead’s backer was the biggest crime lord in the area that their chief dared not dare to offend, so he immediately dispatched them to arrest Nicole
With that in mind, the officer said to Zeke, “This is just your side of the story.
You sound like her accomplice, so come with us now.
Or you’ll face the consequences.”
Zeke wanted to say something else, but Nicole held her hand out to stop him as she said to the officer.
“Lead the way.” She raised her chin slightly.
The disdain in her eyes was almost overflowing as she looked at the officer.
The officer had wanted to say something else, but upon hearing Nicole cooperating just like that, he was surprised.
‘What was going on? This person is just too cooperative.
I’ve not even started to seriously intimidate her yet.’
Chapter 202
Thinking of this, he took another glance at Nicole.
Seeing her impassive eyes, he secretly sneered.
‘She sure knows how to pretend.
Just wait until you wet your undies at the station.’
When Zeke saw Nicole just followed on like that, he stomped his feet and quickly followed behind.
Contrary, a smile appeared in Nicole’s eyes as she saw his righteous expression.
Seeing the two were still so calm, Yellowhead sneered.
“Kneel and apologize to my bros, and then service us well.
Perhaps I could consider letting you go, otherwise …” He did not finish what he said but instead made a threatening slit over his neck.
Nevertheless, Nicole did not even look at him as she followed the police officers.
Yellowhead was even angrier upon the sight.
‘You don’t take my words seriously.
You’re just a foreigner.
You’ll never get out of the police station even if you’re skilled!’ He hissed.
‘And still, you are that arrogant.
You’ve just signed your death warrant!’ He then exchanged glances with Redhead behind him, a brutal glint appearing in his eyes.
When Luka, who was hiding behind the crowd, noticed the commotion and saw Nicole being taken away by the police, a gleeful look appeared in his eyes.
He took his phone out and gave Chloe a call.
It rang just once before she answered.
“How’s it?”
Luka smiled.
“That girl has been taken away by the police, and they aren’t kind to her.
They don’t look like they are on her side, and I’m pretty sure she’ll have hell to pay.” When Chloe heard that, she was delighted.
“Serve her right.
Forget about her.
Whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with us.”
.
“Yeah.” Luka nodded as he left.
Chloe put down the phone while she was on her way to the studio.
She was now at the set.
To show her status, Chloe came a bit later than scheduled.
Seeing the entire production crew was waiting for her, she felt good, yet she put on an anxious face as she said, “I’m really sorry.
There was quite a bad jam on the way.
I’ll treat everyone to a drink later.”
When everyone heard that, they could only let it slide without expressing their dissatisfaction.
Chloe gently pulled her hair back, and just as a smile was about to form on her lips, she heard an icy voice.
“Miss Riddle, one time is fine, but please do not be late again next time.
It won’t do to delay everyone’s time here.” Chloe looked over, and her smile immediately froze.
The person speaking was no one other than Lloyd Holder, who was making a cameo appearance in this drama! When everyone heard this, they all nodded secretly in their hearts.
Lloyd had made plenty of preparations by coming to the set some time back just for these few scenes.
Plus, he had already memorized all the lines in the scene.
He came here in advance just to get used to the set and get into character.
In contrast, Chloe was a little too much.
As the main female lead, she was not only over an hour late, but she was also reading the script onset and had delayed the production by several hours inside and out.
Chapter 203
This was not something that could be resolved over a meal.
It was just that the staff and crew were generally unwilling to have conflicts with the actors, especially with this Miss Riddle, who seemed to have quite the background.
The movie director, Nachelle Holder, was unhappy too when looking at Chloe.
To begin with, Chloe was not the director’s choice.
It was just that she recommended herself, and with the recommendation from the Rogers branch family, so the movie director reluctantly decided to give her a chance.
When Chloe saw the director’s rather sullen expression, she quickly turned around, bowed to the latter, and said sincerely to all the staff.
“I’m sorry.
This won’t happen again.”
Yet, she still secretly begrudged Lloyd for that.
You are just a bit popular, and so what?’ She thought.
“Once I surpass you, let’s see how you show off!’
Meanwhile, Nicole entered the police station and saw Bluehead standing outside the
interrogation room.
He was whispering something to an officer.
When he saw Nicole, his eyes were full of glee and disdain.
However, there was also a hint of fear in it.
After all, he had personally tasted the skills of this woman.
Nicole walked on casually toward the interrogation table under the police’s guide.
Her aura was so imposing that many outsiders could not tell who the police were and who was the prisoner.
Nicole sat before the table, her back was straight, and she was fearless.
When Bluehead saw that, he was pissed off.
He was being ushered over, and when he was still some distance away from her, he got the two officers to stop.
While keeping that safe distance, he hissed at her while keeping that safe distance.
“You b*tch, weren’t you acting haughty yesterday? If you know fear, come and kneel and apologize to me, beg me, so I’ll let you go!” Nicole looked at him with nary an expression on her face.
She then landed her gaze on his legs.
Bluebead immediately recoiled by reflex as he let out a squeal, not unlike a butchered pig.
The sweep Nicole smashed his knees with was why he could not stand up until now.
Zeke looked at Bluehead and sneered.
“And you want her to kneel and beg you? You dare?”
Bluehead was so terrified his legs went limp, yet he still ran his mouth as he sneered at Nicole.
“Pine! Then you two mongrels can stay here until the end of time!”
After that, he turned around to tell an officer something.
The officer gave Nicole a hesitant look, but the chief had ordered him to follow the man’s orders, so he walked over and said coldly, “Put your hands out!
When Nicole heard that, she slightly raised her eyebrow as she looked on coldly at the officer, her voice ten times colder than his, “What is my crime? Is the trial process of Nottingbrook State just like that
The officer was suddenly cowed by Nicole’s aura.
Me did not know what to say.
It was the officer that brought Nicole here that smirked as he said, “You don’t know your crime? If you aren’t sure, let’s bring the thirteen people you assaulted last night over then!”
The officer glanced at Bluehead and caught a hint of satisfaction in the latter’s eyes as he looked on even more menacingly and disdainfully at Nicole.
‘No matter what she does, there is no place in this station for her to speak!’ Thinking of this, he felt much more emboldened.
Soon, the rest of the dozen appeared around Nicole, including Yellowhead and Redhead.
They were not as badly wounded as Bluehead was.
Although they had bruises all over their face, they could walk normally already.
All of them stared at Nicole with ill intentions in their eyes.
Nicole glanced at them with a half-smile, and a surge of fear appeared in their eyes.
After all, they were really traumatized by last night’s fight.
None of them could do anything to Nicole even when all of them attacked at the same time.
They were all beaten up so badly it was the biggest shame of their life.
This was not something that could be resolved over a meal.
It was just that the staff and crew were generally unwilling to have conflicts with the actors, especially with this Miss Riddle, who seemed to have quite the background.

Chapter 204
Thinking of the times they could just run rampant across the district, yet they had suffered that ignominy in the hands of that girl, the hooligans needed to find a way to get his face back.
As they thought of this, a menacing look appeared in their eyes.
The officer then said, “She doesn’t know what her crime is.
Why don’t you lads tell her properly.” Yellowhead and the others started to make accusations against Nicole, saying that they were merely out drinking and walking at night and were eating by one of the roadside stalls.
According to them, they ran into Nicole, who not only overturned the stall but also even beat all of them up.
So now, all of them were hurt, and some were even hospitalized.
Bluehead nodded as he lied about it.
“Yeah, officer.
That happened.
You need to stand up for us! ” he spoke to the officer angrily in a threatening tone.
The officer nodded as he heard that.
“Don’t worry, there’s no escaping when you commit a crime in my area!” He then shot Nicole a cold glare.
“We have witnesses here.
Are you still not admitting your crime?”
Nicole looked at him impassively.
“Even if what they said is true, are you not interested in my motivation?”
“That.” The officer immediately looked at Bluehead, and even the latter was stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment.
At this very moment, a bright voice suddenly came from outside.
He had heard Nicole’s question and sneered, “That’s the question we should be asking you! What is your motive?”
As soon as the officer heard that, it was as if he had found his backbone.
“Chief James, why are you here in person?”
The person called “chief” was a short man with a mustache, and beneath his moussed dark blonde hair was a pair of ferocious brown-yellow eyes.
At a glance, it was clear he was no goody two-shoes,
Chief James snorted coldly as he heard the officer ask him that.
“If I didn’t come here myself, what can you bunch of fools do?”
The officer wiped the sweat off his forehead and said flatteringly, “You’re right, sir, with you personally interrogating her, things will be easier!” He hurriedly made way for the chief as his entire person shrank away.
The officer was actually taller than Chief James, yet the way he acted made him look so much shorter.
When Nicole saw this, she squinted her eyes a little.
As soon Chief Jarnes sat down, he slammed his hands against the table, pointing at the hoodlums as he said to Nicole, *Don’t you know that they are good citizens of Nottingbrook
late? For a lout like you to beat them up like this, it’s heinousl Based on the laws of Nottingbrook State, I’ll tork you up for ten months first Bluehead immediately gave the chief a displeased glance as he heard that, hinting that ten months was way too short.
Chief James clearly understood what he meant and motioned for
him to calm down.
After all, it was just a premeditated assault, and they only suffered flesh wounds.
Locking her up for ten months was to ensure that she stayed here.
Whatever happens inside the prison could, after all, be attributed to an accident.
Ever since Chief James took office in the Amhurst District, he had not kept his hands clean from things like this and had gotten plenty of benefits out of it.
This time around, it was just a Hustuaburgian girl, plus she was so young.
So, he assumed that she would have no way to resist him pinning all sorts of charges on her.
Moreover, he could gain the trust of Thor’s underlings and befriend the largest local underworld force.
Plus, he could get over 200,000 bucks.
Who would say no to that?
Chief James could already see the whole thing pan out.
He thought that this deal was pure profit and no loss!
Chapter 205
As he thought of that, Chief James’ eyes exploded with greed as he looked at Nicole as if he was looking at a lamb to be slaughtered.
His eyes filled with greed for power and money.
Nicole looked at him as a sneer gently appeared on the corner of her lips.
She gently tapped the table as she said faintly, “The truth is that my accusers were the ones that struck at us first.
I fought back only in self-defense, and I have measured my strength and did not cause damage beyond self-defense.
“The stallholder can testify for us.
Moreover, I think it’s best if we can pull up the local surveillance footage and check the surrounding before I struck.
“I believe that the entire thing was recorded.
As the local police chief, shouldn’t you gather the footage and witnesses before making a judgment?” As soon as she said that, Chief James’ expression changed.
Yet, Nicole continued casually, “Aside from that, I need to say that, even if I’m responsible for the entire fracas, the degree of injury on these people isn’t sufficient for you to detain and imprison me.
“The state security laws of Nottingbrook State have a clear code in dealing with matters like this.
I don’t know what law statute you’re referring to in detaining me.”
Nicole was extremely calm, with nary a trace of panic on her face.
When Chief James was questioned like that, his expression turned from surprised to stunned.
He did not expect Nicole to have such an understanding of the local laws, and she did not seem to be perturbed by his intimidation at all.
She was totally at peace.
“Is it me or you who is in charge here?! If I want to lock you up for ten months, it’ll be ten months and not a day short!” Nicole’s eyes became colder, and Chief James did not seem to take her words seriously.
He did not care about the fact of the matter, and he still insisted on arresting her even after she pulled out the law against him.
‘How brazen of you!’ Just as Nicole was about to say something, a sneer came from behind her.
“Chief James, you look all high and mighty there, huh!” Both Nicole and Zeke turned over and saw Edwin swaggering in with a silly smile on his face, Seeing Nicole looking at him, Edwin gave her a comforting smile.
“Nicole, don’t worry, They cannot do anything to you.”
As she heard that, the chill in her eyes melted away slightly.
She did not expect Edwin to come over to speak up for her.
She pondered for a bit, and it was not hard to guess that it was probably Harvey who sent him here.
Chlef James seemed to recognize who Edwin was as a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.
The Bradford family had a lot of businesses in Nottingbrook State, and they were quite powerful.
However, just Edwin alone was not enough to strike fear in him.
When he thought of this, Chief James gave Edwin a glance as he said, “Mr. Bradford, why aren’t you in Hustuaburg, and what are you doing here instead?
Edwin was not angry as he guffawed and said, “I’m here to join Gold Session of the Moon House.”
As he heard the Moon House being mentioned, Chief James’ face twitched a little.
He looked at Nicole and said, “You’re here to participate in the Gold Session of the Moon House too.” Nicole looked at him and said impassively, “That question seems to have nothing to do with the case at hand.”
Chief James took this as denial and let out a long sigh of relief.
‘If she isn’t the guest of the Moon House, there’s no one in this area that I cannot cross!’ As he thought that, he said contemptuously, “Mr. Bradford, she’s already convicted for her crimes.
Even God will not be able to save her!”
