Ch. 226..230: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 226-230

Chapter 226

Karlo looked at the road ahead and stopped asking Zeke questions.

Zeke looked at his father’s seemingly shocked face and sat quietly, waiting for the car to drive them back to the Guzman Mansion instead of gibing at him.

As Nicole watched Zeke and Karlo leave, Jared spoke with a hint of displeasure beside her.” They have left.

Stop staring already.

Let me send you back to the Riddle Mansion.”

Nicole nodded and whispered a thank-you to Jared.

Jared cocked an eyebrow at Nicole, as she was always so courteous to him.

But he said nothing, just taking out his mobile phone to make a call.

Soon, a metallic blue sports car pulled up in, front of them, with Claus sticking his head out and looking at Nicole in surprise.

“I didn’t know you’re here, too, Nicole.”

Jared looked at the car in front of him with a frown.

Claus noticed the disgust on Jared’s face and said helplessly, “Max thought you would have gone for a few days, so he sent your car to Eperon for maintenance.

It will only be brought back in a week.

Today, I will be your driver.”

Nicole looked at the latest Aston Martin sports car in front and then glanced at Jared.

She then got into the car, saying nothing.

Jared then followed suit and sat beside Nicole.

The inner roof of the cabin was low, which made the two of them sit closer to each other.

Nicole could clearly smell the faint sandalwood scent on Jared’s body.

It smelled ascetic and cold, like a forest after a rain, emitting a clean and pure cedar aroma.

She turned to face the other side, not wanting to admit that she was fascinated by the scent.

Jared noticed her facial expression, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

His face looked seductively handsome in the dim light, his body seemingly floating quietly on the surface of the water with a deadly charm.

Max used to say that their boss was the most perfect man in the world.

Claus glanced in the rearview mirror and then immediately looked away expressionlessly.

Max was right; when Jared really wanted to capture someone, no one could escape.

Unfortunately, Nicole was facing out the window and could not see his boss’s face.

Claus grumbled in his mind, but his voice sounded gentle when he asked, “How did you two come bark together?”

Nicole did not look at him but said saintly, “We bumped into each other in Nottingbrook State, and we both were coming back at the same time.”

Claus was a little surprised.

“No wonder.

By the way, what were you doing in Nottingbrook State?”

Only then did Nicole look at him, “To take care of some business.

There was no emotion in her voice, but there was an unexplained hint of arrogance.

‘Good lord, it’s as good as saying nothing,’ Claus said in his mind.

“Shut your mouth up and drive.” Jared’s brows were knitted together.

He could see that Nicole did not want to talk, so he did not ask.

It looked like Claus was getting bolder lately.

Claus shut his mouth and said not a word again.

He only asked because his boss had asked him to trail Nicole before this.

His boss not only did not appreciate it but was also cavalier.

Nicole threw the black mobile phone into the bag and took out the mobile phone she usually used.

She did not turn on her phone for the past two days and one night.

Since she was back in the country now, she powered on the phone and put it in her pocket.

Chapter 227

Nicole did not expect that her phone would vibrate in her pocket.

Nicole took it out.

There were nearly two hundred missed calls, eighty percent of which were from Daniel, Gloria, and her brothers, and a few messages from Austin and others, asking her when the tuition would continue.

‘What’s going on?’ she wondered.

Just as Nicole was about to call home, the phone in her hand vibrated again.

It was Daniel.

She picked up the call.

Daniel was used to hearing the unreachable tone when he called Nicole.

He could not react for a moment when he first got through to Nicole until she answered in a flat voice.

“Nicole, you finally answered the phone,” he said, sounding stupefied.

Gloria, who was beside Daniel, heard what he said and abruptly looked up at her husband, her eyes full of eagerness.

Nicole heard the exhaustion and anxiety in her father’s voice, and she could not help but frown.

“Is something happening at home?”

Daniel had been in the hospital for days, feeling distressed when the doctors told him about Mr. Riddle Sr.’s increasingly deteriorating condition.

Now that he heard his young daughter’s calm voice, he inexplicably felt more assured and could think more clearly.

“Nicole, come to San Joto Central Hospital.

Your grandfather has fallen sick.”

Nicole frowned and could not believe that Mr. Riddle Sr., who had always been tough, was ill.

It sounded as if his condition was serious.

Mr. Riddle Sr.

treated her well when she first came home, did not judge her based on rumors, and supported her in her study.

He always had high expectations for her.

Thinking of Mr. Riddle Sr., Nicole had decided and said to Claus, “I’m sorry.

I’m not going to the Riddle Mansion.

Please send me to San Joto Central Hospital.”

Jared nodded and asked Claus to turn the car around.

He then asked Nicole with a serious face, “Is someone in your family sick?”

“It’s my grandpa.” She nodded.

Jared looked at her and said somberly to Claus, “Hurry up.”

Claus gripped the steering wheel, and he stepped on the accelerator.

The high-performance sports car made a low roaring sound as it drove them straight toward San Joto Central Hospital,

It took only five minutes for them to reach the hospital.

Nicole got out of the car with Jared behind, comforting her.

“He’s going to be okay.”

Nicole said nothing, Mr. Riddle Sr.

was on the tenth floor.

The two of them hastened to the elevator, where a woman, surrounded by bodyguards, was waiting.

Seeing the two of them approaching, a bodyguard raised an eyebrow and said coldly, “The elevator is reserved only for our lady’s use today.”

Nicole did not bother to argue with the bodyguard.

She shoved him aside to clear a path for hersell.

The rest of the bodyguards saw her ruthlessness and flinched.

They stood aside, leaving a path in the middle, revealing the woman’s face.

The woman was aggravated, looking in Nicole’s direction.

“Didn’t I tell you all not to let others come near?” There was a surprised look in her eyes when she saw the person behind Nicole.

“Jared?”

Lyana was here for a medical checkup, not expecting to see Jared here.

She looked a little ecstatic and quickly walked toward Jared.

Chapter 228

“What are you doing here? Are you looking for me?” Lyana asked.

Jared ignored Lyana and walked past her to accompany Nicole, quietly waiting for the elevator.

Nicole did not have time for Lyana.

She glanced at Jared gravely, as she still remembered he had explained to her about Lyana.

Lyana looked with jealousy in her eyes at the two standing together.

She recognized Nicole as the girl who had taken Jared away from the birthday party the other day.

Jared ignored her every time she saw him.

‘What makes this girl so special that she can find favor with Jared?’ she asked in her mind.

Lyana was proud of her body and appearance, but she lost that sense of superiority with Nicole’s presence.

So she looked bitterly at Nicole’s beautiful face.

The bodyguard whom Nicole shoved aside earlier came up with a sneer when he saw two random people standing in front of Lyana.

“Do you know who we are? How dare you shove our lady out of the way!” He did not know that Lyana had given up her spot in front of the elevator to get close to Jared.

Neither Jared nor Nicole spared the bodyguard a glance.

Meanwhile, Claus had parked the car and came.

He raised an eyebrow and looked at the jealous-looking Lyana with a frosty look.

“Look after your dog, Lyana.

Don’t let it bark indiscriminately.”

Lyana looked back and shuddered when she saw Claus.

The Junkerman family was notorious in San Joto.

They were as ferocious as jackals and would bite once they found a target.

The Junkerman family was not a member of the high society, but it specialized in training and delivering fresh blood to the wealthy family.

Each of their generations produced the most cold -blooded and ruthless killer who would be assigned to stay beside the junior member, whom they considered had the most potential, of a wealthy family.

And in this generation, Claus was that person.

This was no secret in San Joto’s high society, so Lyana looked at Claus with a hint of fear in her eyes.

Thinking that Claus was just a good-looking pretty boy, the bodyguard was infuriated when he heard Claus insult him.

“Miss Rogers, this pretty boy is so rude to you.

I’ll teach him a lesson for you.” With that, he rolled up his sleeves and lunged out at Claus.

Claus was nonchalant, As the elevator almost arrived, he did not want to waste time with the bodyguard, He stepped out and punched the bodyguard in the abdomen, sending him to the floor.

The bodyguard still wanted to say something, but surprise filled his eyes, and his face

contorted as he groaned in pain.

Lyana looked on with fear in her eyes.

She quickly rushed up to that bodyguard and slapped him in the face before Claus hit him again.

“Are you blind? How dare you behave so rudely toward Mr. Johnston and Mr. Junkerman!”

She knew that the bodyguard’s disrespect for Jared caused this scuffle.

If she wanted to patch things up, she would have to show her determination to Jared first.

After making herself clear, Lyana looked at Jared and Claus with a smile.

“I’m sorry, Jared.

My men are too ruthless and have caused you trouble.”

Chapter 229

Lynana completely ignored Nicole, as if she did not exist.

Jared glanced at Lyana apathetically.

Blood instantly drained from Lyana’s face, and she looked in an unspeakable fear.

She knew very well who Claus was-he was just following and serving Jared.

He was basically a knife in Jared’s hand.

She was afraid no matter how much Mr. Rogers Sr.

pampered her, if she angered Jared, Mr. Rogers would turn against her.

Lyana still thought of saying something, but the elevator had arrived.

Nicole and Jared walked in.

Claus glanced at Lyana with a smirk and followed Jared into the elevator.

The bodyguard finally got his due.

He was struck dumb after getting slapped by Lyana.

He had been acting like a bully all this while with Lyana’s connivance.

Lyana wiped her hands with a handkerchief handed over by the others and said coldly to the bodyguard on the floor.

“Get the hell out of here.

I don’t want to see you again.”

The bodyguard looked sorry and dumbfounded, not knowing why Lyana’s attitude had changed all of a sudden.

He was just doing the same thing as he usually did.

But he knew he could not afford to offend Lyana.

So he had to endure the pain and crawl away.

Lyana looked at the closed elevator door with resentment.

She blamed Nicole for all the disdain Jared had shown her today.

She tore the handkerchief in her hand into pieces.

Mr. Rogers Sr.’s warning gradually faded from her mind, and only the sound in the air came from the gritting of her teeth.

“Nicole!” Lyana was not in the mood for the medical checkup now, so she turned around and left with her men.

Nicole did not know what Lyana was thinking.

She came to the tenth floor, where the VIP wards were.

Daniel was sitting in front of a ward door, looking depressed and thinner than before.

Gloria was leaning on his shoulder, and her rosy cheeks now appeared a little pale.

They were whispering something to each other when the elevator door opened, and Nicole appeared.

Their eyes brightened up, and they immediately stood up and walked toward Nicole.

“Why didn’t you answer the phone? You almost scared me to death.” Gloria looked at Nicole with reddened eyes.

Nicole opened her mouth, wanting to explain herself.

But she ended up just saying, “I’m sorry.

Daniel did not want to say anything reproachful but just whispered, “It’s okay as long as you’re back.”

Nicole looked at the two of them, who had a rare worried look on their faces, and asked softly, “How is his condition?”

Daniel turned his head, seemingly to calm himself down, before saying, “The doctor said that surgery is needed, but the risk of complications is high, and he may not survive.”

Nicole understood and looked grave.

It was even more serious than she thought.

At this time, Samuel and Spencer had also come.

They ran toward Nicole in front of the elevator as soon as they saw her.

“You’re back at last, Nicole!”

Steve and Stanley followed from behind them with surprised looks in their eyes when they saw Nicole.

As so many people showed their concerns for Nicole, Norah could not help but ask, “Where have you been, Nicole? Why didn’t you attend the family banquet the other day? Grandpa was angry because of this.”
