Ch. 2081..2085: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2081-2085

Chapter 2081

Iris clenched her teeth, unsatisfied. She had overheard Jared and Max’s conversation and it made her feel wronged. She had tried her very best to arrange an appointment with the CEO of Happiness Trading. And yet, Jared did not bother to even consider it.

It was the perfect opportunity for her to perform well in front of Jared. In the end, her plan failed.

No way! I can’t give up this easily. After all, I might not have much time left. I’ve been waiting silently for five years, and I had never imagined the day I would lose Jared.’

After Jared left Johnston Group’s office, he soon arrived at the Riddle Corporation.

At the same time, Nicole had just stepped out of the building. When she saw Jared’s car, she hurried over and got into the car.

“Come on, let’s pick Nolan and Lana up.” Nicole leaned into the seat.

“I’ve asked your mom and dad to pick them up. We’re going to Martin’s place.” Jared glanced at Nicole out the side of his eye.

Her situation with her memory the night before was very different. Perhaps, one could say it was ground-breaking.

Nicole bit her lip and a gush of warmth flashed through her heart. Nicole never bothered about it, but Jared was still patient enough to check on Nicole’s situation. Even if there was a small incident, Jared would be concerned.

Soon, the two of them had reached Martin’s villa.

It was obvious that Martin had been waiting for their arrival. When he saw them enter, he poured water for them.

After everyone sat down, Nicole described the situation from the night before to Martin. Then, she shared what she thought.

Martin frowned slightly, gave it some thought and shook his head. “On the contrary, I don’t think this is a sign of you recalling your memory.”

Nicole was disappointed for a moment. But then, she quickly returned to normal. Deep down, she was comforting herself. Since she had faced such a result multiple times, she should be used to it by now.

“However, we can’t definitely say that there was no effectiveness to it. At least it proved one thing to us, that you are less resistant toward familiar things. Hence, you’re not experiencing headaches,” Martin explained. The only issue was that this was still very far from recovering her memory.

“Alright.” Nicole nodded. She felt that this could be considered as good news as well.

“Is there anything else?” Jared asked in a slightly low voice.

“Not at the moment.” After Martin finished speaking, he

whipped out a document and said, “This is the treatment plan I’ve come up with. Please have a look.”

Martin passed the document to Nicole. He waited for Nicole to read the materials and express her opinion.

After Nicole took the file, she flipped through it and seriously looked at the contents. Then, she frowned. “I’ve tried all these methods before. They’re useless.”

Martin could not help but shake his head. “Your situation is quite an emergency. We’re running out of time and there hasn’t been anything to trigger your memory from the past. The conventional treatment plan does have a low percentage of effectiveness. However, it would be even more stable, and the risk is low.”

That was the best treatment plan he could think of. If it did not turn out the way it should, everyone would go manic.

“Do you have other proposals?” Nicole’s eyes narrowed as she understood the implicit meaning behind Martin’s words.

He mentioned that the conventional treatment would be stable, and the risks are low. That also meant that Martin had other theories, but the risks were too high.

Martin hesitated.

Tm sure he does, but he seemed to be kind of worried.’

Chapter 2082

“You can explain them first. As for the decision, we’ll think about it seriously.” Nicole noticed Martin’s hesitation.

However, she felt that she should at least understand the options. In the end, they were opportunities.

“The risks are definitely higher,” Martin continued to remind her carefully.

“Just explain them to us. We’ll think about the rest later.” Jared understood what Nicole meant, and he felt that they should at least understand what type of treatments were possible.

Seeing that the both of them were persistent, Martin sighed and said, “Do you remember The Beacon?”

After Martin uttered those words, he realized his mistake. How could he have forgotten about Nicole’s memory loss? Of course, she would not remember what he was talking about. So, Martin turned and looked at Jared.

“What is it about The Beacon?” Jared was curious. According to his memory, the device did not have the ability to treat memory loss.

“Actually, over the past five years, I’ve developed a copy of The Beacon’s system.” Martin subconsciously glanced at Nicole as he spoke.

“A copy?” Jared’s eyes narrowed. ‘Is it a skill enhancement, or is it a technical advancement? Can it help Nicole to recover her memory?’

While Nicole was listening to their conversation, she could not recall any memory of The Beacon. Therefore, she was quite curious about it.

“What are you guystalking about?” asked Nicole. She thought the name sounded like a great thing. It must be a device.

Martin looked at Nicole and handed her a tiny device. From the appearance, it seemed like a delicate pendant. It was the size of a coin, and there was a slightly protruding part on top of it.

“Is this the switch?” Nicole made a guess and lightly triggered it with her finger.

An Al projected display immediately appeared in the air, and it remained there. The functions were all laid out on the display.

Amazed at such advanced technology, Nicole reacted out of shock. “This was designed by you? The functions are quite comprehensive!”

“I made some improvements according to The Beacon,” Martin replied honestly. Then, he explained to Nicole and Jared, “Other than the original functions of The Beacon, I’ve also developed and added a brain damage recovery function. But…” Martin hesitated.

Hearing that it could recover brain damage, Nicole’s eyes shined. “But what?”

Perhaps this newly upgraded product could really help her regain her memory. If there was a possibility, she was willing to give it a try.

“But the initial intention of developing this function was targeted toward external injuries which caused brain damage. Your condition doesn’t belong to this category. Another thing is that this is only at the initial stage of production. We don’t have actual research results to prove its effectiveness.” Therefore, Martin dared not to let Nicole use it rashly. If there were any issues, he would regret it.

Nicole finally understood the reason Martin was hesitant. She turned to Jared. “How much do you know about The Beacon?”

She totally had no memory of it. But looking at the upgraded prototype, she could tell that it was a powerful medical device.

“The main function of The Beacon is to quickly treat any external injuries and detoxify the body. It was developed by Martin, and you assisted him a lot last time. Then, I established The Beacon Company,” Jared briefly explained to Nicole.

Nicole’s eyes widened. She used to be involved in the project!

Of course, Nicole was shocked by the information. She knew that Jared would never lie to her, so she continued to question, “If that’s the case, I think I can give it a try. What do you think?”

If The Beacon was so powerful, Nicole believed that the upgraded version would not be bad.

“But this isn’t the finished version. I’m worried…” Martin still felt uneasy about it. He could not help but clench his teeth and advise, “Why don’t we wait a little longer? At least until more experiments are done and more data is gathered.

Then we can come to a decision.”

Martin was genuinely worried that if he failed, Nicole’s injury would worsen. Therefore, he felt that they should be patient and wait it out.

Chapter 2083

Jared’s eyebrows narrowed slightly, and he hesitated. The Beacon was reliable, but it now had upgraded functions and it could treat Nicole’s brain. Jared was afraid of the possibility of it failing to do its job and causing severe damage to Nicole’s brain.

“Never mind. You should have a laboratory for this, right? I’ll go analyze the data with you there. If the success rate is high and the risk is low, we could try it out.” Nicole felt this was a chance that she did not want to miss.

Nicole had tried many ways, but everything had failed. She really hoped this would be able to help her.

Jared looked at Nicole with his forehead creased tightly. He hoped for Nicole to regain her memories, but he did not want her to suffer from any damage.

Martin had the same hesitation. He remained silent, not agreeing to Nicole’s request.

Nicole, on the other hand, did not want to waste any more time. So, she decided and said, “Send me your laboratory’s address. I’ll get there when I have time.”

With that, Nicole stood and took the newest system Martin had given her. She said, “I’ll take this and check it out. I’ll return it to you when I go to your laboratory.”

Seeing that Nicole had her heart set on this, Martin reluctantly agreed. “Alright then.”

Knowing he could not stop her, Jared got up too and prepared to leave with Nicole. After a simple agreement, Nicole left with Jared.

With a conflicted expression, Martin watched as the two left. Although Nicole had lost her memories, she was still the same old Nicole he once knew, always determined and not afraid to take charge.

Nicole and Jared got in the car after leaving the mansion. After they had settled into their seats, the car started.

“The Beacon sounds impressive. It must have a good market,” Nicole was rather interested in the device. She never expected she had once participated in its making. On top of that, Jared was the sponsor, establishing a company for production and sales.

“Yes,” Jared replied, eyes downcast. Nicole’s interest in The Beacon was not only about the latest technological innovation. It was also for the sake of Zane and the others.

Zane had never stopped searching for Nicole these few days but to no avail. Now that Nicole had returned, Jared felt conflicted about whether to tell her about Zane and the organization.

He contacted Zane, but Zane expressed that since Nicole had lost her memories, it would be better for her to stay away. She had quit the organization, so she did not need to remember those things. It was better for her to live a peaceful life.

“What’s wrong?” Nicole blinked in confusion, noticing that

Jared seemed desperate to tell her something.

“It’s nothing.” Gathering his thoughts, Jared regained his composure. He decided to respect Zane’s wish and not tell Nicole about the organization for the time being.

Nicole did not dwell on Jared’s answer and continued, ” About the upgrade for The Beacon, how confident are you?”

Jared’s expression darkened. “I obviously have faith in Martin’s design. However, his expertise is more toward treating external injuries or trauma caused by external forces. Amnesia is a different case altogether.”

After all, that was not their initial intention, and Nicole’s case was rare. It was simply impossible to predict the outcome.

“Although the situation is different, perhaps we can still achieve the same goal if we just give it a try.” Nicole felt that it was worth a try after hearing Jared’s explanation.

Jared furrowed his eyebrows and pondered for a moment. He looked at Nicole seriously. “To be frank, whether you regain your memory or not, it doesn’t really matter to me. It’s fine the way it is now.”

To Jared, it was alright since Nicole came back safe and sound. Although Nicole could not remember their time together, he was satisfied with the situation because she was safe now.

Chapter 2084

“But I always feel like I’m missing something.” Nicole always believed that she should regain her memories.

“It’s just a trial. It might not have the desired outcome you want. If something goes wrong during the treatment…”

Jared trailed off. This was not something Jared would want to experience. He believed no member of the Riddle family would be able to bear this pain.

“There’s always a chance, but it’s impossible if I don’t try.” Nicole tried to convince Jared, hoping to gain his full support.

She knew Jared would let her if she insisted on it. However, Nicole wanted him to have no doubts and be firmly supportive of her, or in other words, help her. She felt that getting Jared’s support would help her have the courage to face everything.

Nicole did not notice that, unknowingly, she had already developed a sense of reliance on Jared.

Jared looked at her deeply and said, “All we want is for you to be safe and sound. That’s enough.”

Nicole understood that Jared was referring to the Riddle family, her blood relatives. However, that was the sole reason she wanted to regain her memories. She wanted to remember her past for them.

Especially for Jared, as they even got married and had

Nolan and Lana. They must have loved each other and had a great past together. Nicole did not want to forget that.

Besides, not remembering those past memories made her feel uncomfortable deep inside, and she could not help but judge the idea of their marriage.

Biting her lip, Nicole said solemnly, “I understand, but I still think I should regain my memories since I’ve been given a chance. Don’t you want me to remember our past?”

Jared was taken aback, and helplessly said, “Of course, I want that. I’m just worried your body will get hurt if this fails.”

A trace of warmth entered Nicole’s heart. She thought a bit before saying, ‘TH do my best not to get hurt and recover my memory.”

Once Nicole remembered everything, perhaps all problems would be solved. Nicole thought that since they loved each other, their past should not be forgotten.

Jared’s pupils constricted slightly, and he agreed through gritted teeth. “Alright, but don’t bite more than you can chew. If

“Deal.” Nicole smiled. Getting his approval really made her feel at ease.

Upon returning to the Riddle family manor, the family had just finished dinner. Everyone was in the living room watching TV with Nolan and Lana.

“Daddy! Mommy!” Lana was the first to run over once Nicole and Jared entered the house.

Jared affectionately picked Lana up and sat down on the sofa with her.

“Mommy, Uncle Jared,” said Nolan, deliberately raising his voice and emphasizing on the word ‘Uncle’. He looked at Lana with a slight annoyance. He thought, ‘Look at her acting all smug.’

Lana proudly stuck her tongue out toward her brother, and thought in her heart, ‘Nolan’s just being jealous.’

‘Hmph!’ Nolan looked away, not wanting to bother with his now-bribed sister.

Noticing the ‘battle’ between the two children, Nicole shook her head helplessly. “We haven’t had dinner yet. Let’s go eat, and you two can continue watching TV.”

“How have you two still not had dinner? Hurry over to eat then.” Gloria instantly instructed the maids to prepare dinner for them once she knew they had not eaten dinner yet. She then ushered Nicole and Jared to the dining table.

Chapter 2086

Nicole always knew Nolan was born a clever cookie, and much more mature and wiser than the other children of his age. Therefore, she had allowed him to pursue hacking, with her rarely denying his requests. However, she could not allow him free rein this time; Nicole knew very well that if she did not control Nolan, things might get out of hand. This situation was already something she did not want to see.

“Alright, I get it,” Nolan said, as he was forced to agree.

“Remember, no sneaky moves,” Nicole warned.

Looking at the stern expression on Nicole’s face, Nolan could only nod sullenly. However, deep down, he knew there was a loophole. Nicole had only warned him against sneaky moves, not his penchant for providing information to his godfather.

“And remember, Lana. No speaking out of turn either,” Nicole reminded, able to tell that Lana was singing a different tune on purpose.

“Alright, Mommy. I got it,” Lana softly answered.

As long as Nolan did not spout any sort of hogwash, she would be more than happy.

Gloria, on the other hand, had never seen Nicole being so stern to anyone else, so she advised with a hint of concern,” The kids are still young. You have to teach them slowly.” “That’s right. Well, look at the time. We should bring the kids to sleep,” Daniel chimed in.

Nicole looked at her parents and signaled Nolan and Lana off with a sharp gaze before agreeing, “Alright, I’ll take them to bed.”

“Good night, Grandpa and Grandma,” Nolan and Lana simultaneously said, and followed Nicole upstairs.

“Jared, the children are probably having a hard time adjusting. Don’t worry too much,” Gloria comforted.

Calmly, Jared replied, “Oh, it’s nothing. They are still young, after all.”

However, Jared had come upon the realization that Nolan was not an ordinary five-year-old child. In regard to the hacker account, his mind jumped right into the idea that Nolan was the one using Nicole’s account. This could only mean that Nolan was a hacker. Then, he suddenly realized that on the day he took the two of them back home, the company system had malfunctioned, necessitating someone to come over and fix it. At that time, Nicole had admitted that it was her. But now that Jared came to think of it, Nolan might be the one who had done all the damage.

A trace of amusement flickered in Jared’s eyes for everything just seemed to fall into place all of a sudden. ‘So that is why Nolan has always behaved differently from the other kids. I’ve mistaken his antics for mischievousness, but it seems to me that Nolan is more precocious than I’ve cared to give him credit for.’

Gloria and Daniel became relieved when they saw Jared’s nonchalant reaction. After a moment, they went upstairs to get some shuteye too. At around the same time, Nicole walked out of the kid’s room.

“Are they asleep?” Jared asked.

“Lana is, while Nolan said he will sleep after a moment,” Nicole vaguely said, not knowing how to tell Jared about Nolan’s hacking activities.

“Is he taking on tasks?” Jared candidly asked after observing Nicole’s look of hesitancy.

Nicole looked up at Jared, her eyes brimming with surprise.” When did you find out?”

“Just now. Downstairs,” Jared replied.

Then, he grabbed Nicole’s hand and took her back to their room.

Nicole soon realized that Jared had known because she said she was going to confiscate Nolan’s account. And that tiny bit of information was what led Jared to think of it. With that said, Nicole had to admit that Jared was very astute in his observation. With just one keyword, he was able to deduce that Nolan was a hacker and was taking on tasks.
