Ch. 206..210: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 206-210
Chapter 206
‘This isn’t Hustuaburg but my turf.
What the Bradford family can do to do me?’ Chief James sat down as he thought of that.
When Bluehead saw his expression, he knew things were settled, and the look in his eyes at Nicole became even more taunting.
Edwin did not expect Chief James to not give him any face at all, and his expression immediately changed.
“You!”
Contrary, Nicole’s expression remained the same as she sat still.
Seeing her like this, the two officers behind her walked over, wanting to handcuff her with a pair of bright silver cuffs glinting with cold light.
When Zeke saw that, he immediately wanted to stop the two.
But the two officers were tall and large, and his small stature could not get in their way.
When Nicole was about to be cuffed and taken away, two voices suddenly came from outside.
“Hod there!”
“Stop!” Harvey walked over hurriedly, and when he saw the two officers stretching their hands out to grab Nicole, a dark glint appeared in his eyes.
He quickly walked to her side.
There was nary a wrinkle on his suit, and his hair was combed neatly.
He was still elegant as ever, without any flaws.
Edwin looked at Harvey, and a thought flashed past his eyes.
Nicole ignored Harvey as she looked at Chief James with a look of yague disappointment on her face.
“I gave you a chance, James.” Chief James snorted.
“You’re about to be put into jail soon.
Do I even need you to give me a chance?
“James Reid, do tell me, who are you going to put into jail again?” The owner of the second voice walked in before Chief James could finish.
Chief James looked on at Nicole with disdain, and he wanted to see what she was pulling.
But after getting a good look at that person’s face, the mockery on Chief James’ face immediately faded away as an incredible paleness took its place,
“Mr. William!’ Wilham was a prosecutor.
He then looked at Nicole again.
Her calm expression showed that she was not surprised by William’s appearance A terrifying conjecture then appeared in James’ mind.
“Did Mr. Wilbarn come here for Nicole
William’s stem expression also bore the same disappointment as Nicole did.
He looked at Chief James and said with a deep voice.
“James, I promoted you to the chief of Amhurst
District because I trusted you.
Yet, in just three years, you’ve turned into a pig-headed and corrupt b*stard!”
“I’ve heard the entire interrogation process outside.
What kind of coercion did you just pull on this lady here? You’ve tampered with the national security laws and convicted her just to satisfy your own lust? Is this the conduct of proper police chief?”
Sweat was already streaming down Chief James’ head.
Mr. William, the prosecutor, was a confidant of the governor.
He was an extremely upright person and viewed the law as a tenet of his life.
He had always hated all those dirty and corrupt exchanges, and since Mr. William was the one who raised Chief James to his current station, the latter could also dislodge him at any moment.
“Mr. William , th-this is just a misunderstanding … I was just joking with this lady just now.
It’s just a new interrogation technique…”
Chapter 207
Seeing that Chief James was backtracking, Bluehead immediately snapped.
“You shithead! What are you saying! You promised me to do this broad in! Now you’re going back on your words, give me those two hundred thousand bucks back, and just wait for the Thor family to get back at you!”
Chief James secretly cursed that idiot, but with Bluehead blurting everything out, William looked at James icily.
“James Reid, how dare you break the law knowing the law? Come with me this once and take your accomplice along with you!”
Just as he said that, a few gendarmes rushed from behind him and arrested James and the dozen other gangsters as they escorted them out.
William stayed in the room as he looked at Nicole and did not care about the presence of the other two.
He only nodded slightly as he said, “Thank you for reporting this selflessly.
Please do not take James’ shameless accusations to heart.
The governor got me to apologize on his behalf for Nottingbrook State’s transgressions.”
He had lowered his voice much, and the others could not hear him at all.
Yet, at the same time, they were surprised at Mr. William’s attitude toward her.
Nicole waved her hand at him, indicating that she did not mind that.
When he saw her just wave him off like that, William got even more nervous as he pulled down his military beret off his head, without care for his surroundings as he bowed toward Nicole.
“My deepest apologies.
When Harvey saw the scene, a great look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
‘This person, the prosecutor who handles the governor of Nottingbrook State’s security, is so respectful toward Nicole.
What’s going on?’ A look of helplessness appeared in Nicole’s eyes as she pulled his arm, motioning for him to get up.
She then looked at him seriously in the eye and said, “I ain’t hurt or anything.
Pay it no heed, sir.”
William looked at her expression and nodded a little before finally asking cautiously, “You will Visit Nottingbrook State again, right?” Nicole’s lips curled a little as she gave him a reassuring response.
“Of course.” Mr. William’s azure eyes curled a little as he let out a gentle smile.
“Very well.
Where are you staying? I’ll send you back.” Nicole shook her head, she did not like to come under the attention of so many, let alone be surrounded by the gendarmerie, “Don’t mind me I can go back myself.” William wanted to say something else, but judging from her expression, he held back He then put on his beret back as he whispered to her.
“Please feel free to contact me if anything happens.
It was then did he walked away and left.
Sering bim leave, Nicole picked up her cap on the table as she said to Zeke, “Let’s go.” She stood up and ignored the frozen Harvey beside her as she walked toward Edwin, who was watching the entire thing in a daze.
She then let out a soft thank you and left with Zeke in tow.
Zeker was, in fact, very shocked, but he had been so shocked for the past two days.
Hence,
Nicole doing something that did not shock him would be an unusual thing.
He looked at the two, and a touch of sympathy appeared in his eyes.
After that, he and Nicole left Nottingbrook State’s Amhurst District police station.
It was only then did Edwin snap back into reality.
He stood by Harvey and whispered.
“Harvey, did you call Mr. William over?” He knew the answer in his heart, but he was still hoping against hope.
After all, Nicole did not look like such a powerful person, and among them, Harvey was the most influential and powerful one.
Yet, Harvey immediately shattered Edwin’s hopes.
He shook his head, as a distant, lost look appeared in his usually calm eyes.
“The prosecutor’s attitude said it all just now.
He came specifically for Nicole.”
Chapter 208
Although Harvey’s influence in Nottingbrook State was enough to get the police district chief to be in awe of him, he was still not a local, and his influence was only a fraction of what it usually was.
However, now with the local ruling organ of Nottingbrook State showing up, everything changed.
Looking at how William dealt with James, it was something a foreigner cannot hope to achieve.
When Harvey thought of that, the emotions in his eyes ran deep.
‘How did Nicole manage to get Mr. William over? She’s just a Hustuaburgian.
How does she have such an ability? Even I don’t have the ability to call upon a lieutenant governor-level figure…”
He then recalled his grandpa kept trying to set him up with her.
‘Nicole, who are you?’ As he thought of this, his eyes became even more gloomy.
1.
As he left the police station, he gave Shawn a call.
“Investigate about Nicole thoroughly, especially from her time at Great Oak.
I want you to scour every nook and cranny! Also, there’s a boy beside her.
I want you to find out who he is as
well.”
Edwin followed behind, and when he heard Harvey’s usually unhurried voice being so eager yet cold, he knew very well how the flames of anger were lit inside Harvey.
She was supposed to be a prey that Harvey could just squish in his hands.
Yet, she turns out to be the apex predator of the food chain, and she’s probably more powerful than Harvey.
Of course Harvey is mad.’
Edwin, on the other hand, was not angry.
Nicole always surprised him, and he was now sure that the force behind her could resolve the problems his company was now facing.
‘Just how am I supposed to get her to help me.” A look of deep thought appeared in Edwin’s eyes.
At this moment, Harvey had already hung up the call, and his expression returned to his usual gentleness.
Yet he did not even give Edwin a glance as he looked at the two departing figures in the distance and followed.
Nicole and Zeke were waiting for a taxi by the roadside.
Looking at her expression, Zeke started to ask the questions he had wanted to ask.
*Nicole, were you the one who summoned Mr. William over?” Nicole was looking at the road and just let out a noncommittal “Mhmm.” Zeke then tried to push for more answers, “What’s the deal with you and him? Why is he so respectful to you?”
It was then did Nicole look at him.
She had not been in contact with William much, but instead, she had more contact with another person who was his colleague, the secretary to the governor of Nottingbrook State, If there was ever a relationship, then after some thought, Nicole said, “We are in a cooperative relationship, I suppose.”
‘A cooperative relationship?’
Zeke looked at Nicole, and when he recalled Mr. William’s extremely respectful expression, he motioned that he was not buying it.
Nicole did not say much as she hailed a taxi.
Just as she was about to get in, Harvey, who came from behind, grabbed her wrist.

There was no smile on his face as he looked firmly at Nicole, with an almost imperceptible restlessness in his voice.
“How did you know Mr. William?”
Zeke had already sat inside the taxi, and when he saw this, he jumped out.
“What sort of schoolmate are you? Why can’t you just talk normally instead of resorting to force?” When Harvey heard his voice, he felt a surge of blood rushing up his head.
His emotions, already on the brink, were even harder to control now.
He turned to look at Zeke, his eyes cold and black, as if a beast was locked within it.
Chapter 209
Nicole’s face instantly turned chilly, and she did not look like she was in the mood to say anything else.
Zeke, too, did not show fear in the face of Harvey.
“Don’t you see Nicole doesn’t want you to hold her? Let her go!”
Harvey’s voice seeped through the gaps between his teeth and lips.
“Shut up!”
When Nicole heard that, she sneered and lifted the left hand Harvey had held in a vise grip as her right hand grabbed onto his wrist with a gentle force.
Harvey’s hand suddenly felt weak and simply just let go.
Nicole turned around and looked at him, her voice chillingly cold.
“Shut up is something I should be telling you instead.”
As she said that, she ignored Harvey as she got into the taxi with Zeke.
The taxi quickly drove away, leaving Harvey alone, holding his right hand.
A storm was brewing in his eyes.
He had no idea what was wrong with him, yet he could not suppress the urge to hold Nicole in the palm of his hand.
Nicole and Zeke quickly returned to the hotel.
She had initially planned to check out in the morning.
Now that both had their belongings with them, they did not need to go upstairs.
Hence, they straightaway went to check out and leave.
Dino was waiting by the door, and when he saw Nicole and Zeke coming back, he asked concernedly.
“Are you two alright?”
If his expression was not that cold, Zeke was sure that he was sincerely concerned about them.
Nicole gave Dino a faint glance and said casually.
“We’re fine.”
Dino looked at Nicole.
There was a hint of something in his eyes.
Before Nicole went out, he even reminded her that she could ask the hotel for help, yet he did not expect that she would have the capability to resolve any issues she encountered in Nottingbrook State.
Thinking of this, he bowed slightly.
“It seems like I overthought.”
Nicole did not say much and headed straight for the front desk.
She could feel that the hotel manager seemed to be harboring a contemptuous hostility toward her.
However, it did not bother Nicole.
Both she and Zeke completed the check-out process without hassle.
Just as they were about to leave, a rather harsh female voice suddenly rang from behind them.
“Why are you here?”
Chloe had just returned to the hotel and thought that Nicole must have already been detained at the police station.
She did not expect to run into her unscathed at the hotel lobby, with the high and mighty manager bowing to her.
For Chloe to blurt out such a stupid sentence was because she was simply too surprised.
When Nicole heard that, she raised her eyebrows as she glanced at Chloe.
“Then where you think I should be at then?”.
She had not dealt with Chloe yet, and well, here she was serving herself up on a silver platter.
Nicole gave Chloe a chilly look, and the latter was immediately a little flustered.
She quickly calmed herself down and smiled a little, pushing her wavy curly hair to the back of her ear as she said softly.
“No need to be so hostile.
I just did not expect to see you here in the lobby.”
When she deflected Nicole’s words, it was as if Nicole had something against her.
In this way, it looked as if Nicole was the aggressor.
But Zeke did not buy that as he sneered.
“Is that so? Bluehead told us that the person who instructed him to cause Nicole trouble is a sissy of a man.
Who else could it be but your manager?”
“That means you’re an accomplice, and you won’t be able to escape!”
Zeke said that in Esperian.
Everyone passing through could understand everything they heard.
Their eyes looking at Chloe changed immediately.
Chloe’s expression changed as she cursed at Luka, ‘Didn’t he say that we won’t be implicated, then why are they pinning it on me?’
Chapter 210
However, she had been in this circle for quite some time now.
So she had learned how to twist a story perfectly.
She immediately retorted, “Don’t you go slandering me! Everyone saw it this morning.
The officers came to take you, and this…”
Having said that, she suddenly paused, as if she felt the name “Nicole” was quite familiar.
“You are Nicole?!”
Nicole looked at Chole impassively, neither acknowledging nor denying it.
It was a cold stare.
A specter of fear soon appeared slowly in Chloe’s heart.
Although she had not returned home, she had heard her parents say that Uncle Daniel had found his daughter.
‘However, didn’t they say that Nicole came from the countryside? Why is she in Nottingbrook State’s best hotel? Even I can only get to stay by following the crew using the connections to Nachelle Holder.
Even so, I’ve only gotten a room on the second floor.’
Chloe did not even see Nicole on the second floor.
Seeing how the manager was treating Nicole, Chloe could not help but wonder, ‘Does that mean she was staying on the third floor?’
As for the fourth floor, Chloe did not dare to even think of it.
She squinted her eyes as a thought appeared in her charming eyes, yet she still said condescendingly toward Nicole, “Do you know who I am?”
Nicole looked at her with a half-smile and did not answer her.
Just the fact she slandered Zeke the first time they met, her character was obviously poor, and Nicole could not be bothered to talk to her.
At this moment, Harvey, too, had rushed back from the police station, and he immediately saw Nicole standing in the crowd as he slowed down and walked toward her.
He wore a warm smile as he walked toward Nicole’s side and ignored both Chloe and Zeke as he said gently to her, “Nicole, I was too abrupt just now.
I’m sorry.”
Nicole did not look at Harvey, and it was Chloe whose eyes widened in astonishment,
“Harvey Ellison!”
Of course she knew Harvey Ellison.
He was the alpha jock of the Royal Creek Institute.
Although she had not been attending school much due to filming, she still knew who Harvey
Was
Even when she relied on her connection with the Rogers branch family, it was difficult for her to even talk to him.
He was a person who could stay on the fourth floor of the Assoria Castle!
However, Harvey was actually apologizing to Nicole at this moment,
Chloe’s eyes were full of bewilderment.
She did not know what was going on with this country cousin of hers.
However, she quickly turned around and let out a charming smile.
“Harvey, you may not know, but this Nicole is my cousin.
You can just tell me if there’s anything.
But in any case, Nicole, Harvey has lowered himself to apologize to you.
So, don’t you dare not appreciate his kindness.”
She looked at Nicole.
A threatening gaze lined the tip of her charming eyes.
She acted as if she would not let her go if Nicole did not accept Harvey’s apology.
Harvey heard what Chloe said and then raised his eyes to look at her for a second.
As if he thought of something, he did not say anything else, seemingly wanting to see if Nicole would listen to Chloe or not and whether she would accept his apology or not.
Nicole gave the two an impassive glance as she said to Chloe.
“I have nothing to say to you.
The police, on the other hand, should have plenty to ask you.
So just save your breath.”
As she said that, she did not even look at Harvey as she waved at Zeke.
“Let’s go.”
Zeke quickly followed behind, and when Chloe saw Nicole straight up ignoring her, she was so angry she could no longer maintain her smile.
She pushed Zeke away and said to Nicole,” Nicole, do you not know shame? Let me tell you, this is Harvey Ellison.
Don’t you drag the entire Riddle family down because of your selfishness!”
