Ch. 246..250: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 246-250
Chapter 246
The moment she got off the car, Snow sped off to the principal’s office as if she was afraid Harvey would run away.
Her frantic pace aside, even her usual gentle smile was somewhat diminished.
Her schoolmates along the way looked at her, yet Snow had no time to bother with her usual image.
She frantically pressed the elevator button as if she would be doomed if she was a second too late.
After reaching the top floor, Snow took a deep breath and sorted her somewhat messy hair before walking toward the principal’s office.
Yet, before a few steps in, she saw two persons standing guard by the staircase and another standing by the principal’s office door, upright as a pine tree.
Snow looked at them in a daze and stopped.
She then said to the sturdy – looking bodyguard with a smile and said, “Hello, can I enter the principal’s office?”.
The bodyguard responded matter-of-factly, “Miss, please state your identity.” Snow immediately said, “It’s Harvey who called me here.
I’m…” “Please state your identity.” Snow gritted her teeth and said, “I’m Snow Riddle, of the Riddle family.” The bodyguard frowned as he turned around and whispered to the others.
The rest of them shook their heads, and he turned back to Snow.
“I’m sorry, you are not authorized to enter.”
Snow’s expression turned dark as she heard that.
“What’s the meaning of this?”
A particularly stern voice then came from behind her.
“That means that your authorization is not high enough, and you cannot trespass.”
Snow was taken aback and then spat back angrily, “Why aren’t you letting me in? Didn’t I tell you that Harvey called me over, don’t you understand?”
Those bodyguards just looked on impassively at Snow and said nothing.
Inside, Mr. Wyance was talking with Mr. Ellison while Harvey was by the side, fiddling with his cufflink, his entire person seemingly sinking into an abyssal shadow.
Mr. Wyance noticed Harvey and asked curiously.
“Harvey, I heard that you went to Nottingbrook two days ago?”
Harvey did not deny it as he smiled and said, “I can’t hide anything from you, Mr. Wyance.”
Mr. Wyance guffawed as he looked at Harvey.
“Is it because of the Moon House’s Gold Session?
Harvey nodded and did not say much else.
Mr. Wyance had always been curious about those treasures.
It was a pity he did not have time, and this sudden visit was probably to ask about the matter.
Sure enough, Mr. Wyance smiled and asked, “What did you manage to find this time?”
As he was busy, he had few opportunities to personally attend the Moon House’s Gold Session, yet every time he wanted to know what good stuff the Moon House was auctioning.
Harvey smiled gently and said, “Nothing special this time.
I managed to win the bid for the most valuable piece, the pink diamond.”
Hearing that it was just a diamond, Mr. Wyance let out a faint look of disappointment.
It was said that while diamonds are priceless, he was more into seeking out precious jadeites.
He was not interested in diamonds at all.
“If that’s the case, then I think I shouldn’t impose on you any longer.” He had already talked to Mr. Ellison for a bit, and he should be taking his leave now.
“Harvey, please send Mr. Wyance off.”
“Alright.” Harvey nodded and rose from his seat.
Chapter 247
After Mr. Wyance bade farewell to Mr. Ellison, he then followed Harvey out of the principal’s office.
Outside, Snow’s eyes lit up the moment she saw Harvey coming out. “Harvey!”
Mr. Wyance immediately recognized Snow at a glance. When he saw her walking quickly over here, a trace of rejection appeared in his eyes.
The two bodyguards saw this too and were about to stop her when Mr. Wyance made a motion for them to stand down, and they did not touch her.
Snow noticed Mr. Wyance standing by Harvey’s side. Little wonder there were bodyguards by the door. Only the Wyance family would be so high-profile.
She adjusted her expression and maintained her smile as she came to Harvey. Her entire person was graceful, and she looked like she was a lady of a noble house.
Knowing that Snow was here for Harvey, Mr. Wyance smiled at him and said, “You youngsters can talk. I’ll head off first.”
Harvey did not insist on him staying as he nodded. “Goodbye, Mr. Wyance.”
When Snow saw Mr. Wyance and Director Monroe walking away as she approached, she asked Harvey with some doubts, “Harvey, is that Mr. Wyance?”
She thought that Harvey would at least introduce her to him and did not expect the latter to let Mr. Wyance leave just like that. After Mr. Wyance left, Harvey turned to look at her. His usually warm eyes were like an endless abyss as he trained his eyes on her.
With his vision, how could he not understand what Snow was getting at?
He looked on at Snow, yet an annoyed glint slowly appeared in his eyes.
Snow had no idea what he was thinking, but seeing his rather disgruntled expression, she carefully said, “Harvey, have you been busy lately?”
‘Harvey had not been at school these days. Where did he go while on leave?’
Snow’s expression was impassive, but deep down, she hoped she could see through Harvey with clarity.
Harvey looked at her seemingly gentle-looking face and said without much emotion, “I went on a trip to Nottingbrook.”
Snow thought it was some business for the Ellison Group and knew that he would not tell her about his work. She dared not ask too much. Seeing that Harvey’s attitude toward her seemed good today, her courage gradually formed as she said, “Harvey, I’m looking for you today because my grandfather has fallen ill, and it is a heart problem. I wonder if you can help me find a heart and brain expert to treat my grandfather.” Harvey looked at her as he squinted. “Where’s your grandfather at now?” Snow was taken aback. Not wanting to mention Nicole, she could only speak vaguely. “It
seems like he has already been transferred to a military hospital.”
“A military hospital?” A thoughtful look appeared in Harvey’s eyes. ‘The Riddle family has no military background, so how did Benjamin Riddle get sent to a military hospital?’
Could it be that Jared intervened?’ Thinking of this, Harvey suddenly laughed. “You’ve looked for the wrong person, Snow.”
Snow looked on a little puzzled as she raised her head. As she looked at his handsome and flawless face, she was totally dumbfounded. Harvey smiled as he looked in the direction Mr. Wyance was leaving as a cold glint appeared in his eyes. “You should be looking for Mr. Wyance’s help for this.”
Snow was even more confused. ‘Mr. Wyance was no doctor. What can he do if I looked for him?”
However, she dared not show it, nor did she dare to question Harvey. So, she could only look on awkwardly in Mr. Wyance’s direction. “I wonder if it is still not too late if I rush over. Harvey, could you introduce me to Mr. Wyance…”
Harvey looked at her. He curled his lips into an inexplicably cold smile,
In the end, she was nothing but a defective product that could never see the light of day.
Chapter 248
An elusive look appeared in his eyes as he said gently to Snow, “Snow.” Snow turned toward Harvey and, for some reason, felt a hint of an oncoming storm from his gentle eyes.
Looking at Harvey like that, she could not muster up a single word.
Harvey’s expression only lasted a second before he lowered his head and handed a box that appeared out of nowhere to Snow. His tone was very gentle. “This is the present I got for you in Nottingbrook.”
He smiled as he looked at Snow, yet his words seemed to be bereft of power and were flighty.
“You’ve got to take good care of it.”
Snow received the gift ecstatically. Harvey had given her many presents in the past, and every one of them was valuable. It would not be an exception this time either.
After all, with Harvey’s net worth, he would not even blink when buying things that Snow considered precious.
Even when she knew that the gift would be extraordinary , Snow was still stunned when she opened the box.
She let out a shocked gasp as she looked at the beautiful crystal -clear diamond. She felt her mind was being sucked away by it and could not spare any attention to the things around her.
The pink diamond radiated a colorful light under the sun. So, it was crystal clear that one could see the fine fluff of the flannel below. The ten-carat diamond can be called the king of diamonds. Snow carefully held it up and put it in the palm of her hand, so much so that she did not pay any attention to Harvey’s expression at all.
Harvey looked on quietly at Snow, taking in all the avarice, desire, and fanaticism on her face into his eyes as he subconsciously rubbed the cufflinks on his right hand.
A mocking smile then appeared on his handsome face.
With the ten-carat jewel in her hands, Snow could no longer see him.
“Only that person did not care for things like this.’ Harvey did not say much but instead turned around and walked out, an indiscernible smile appearing on his face,
An auctioned item that was refused is that not another form of a defective product?’
“Sure enough, defective products make the best match to one another.’
Snow did not realize what Harvey was thinking as she happily stared at the diamond for a good while and only belatedly noticed that Harvey had left
She carefully put the diamond into her bag and trotted after his departing figure “Harvey, Wait for me
Harvey left without even looking back, ignoring Snow, who was calling out to him from behind. He walked all the way to the garage and took his car As he got on, all emotions on his face faded away as he became extremely expressionless
He ignored Snow, who was anxiously knocking on the car window and drove off straight away. The car sped past Snow mercilessly, leaving her standing there shocked.
Harvey had just only given her something so precious a moment ago, so why did he leave her behind like this, she wondered.
There was an uneasiness that Snow could not put to words. Harvey’s temperament had always been unstable, yet he had never been this merciless before. Looking on in a daze as the white car sped away,
she clutched her bag tightly and totally snapped out from the euphoria of getting the diamond. She suddenly realized that Harvey did not call her like how he did in the past, calling her Snowie.
Chapter 249
He called her Snow. An inexplicable fear suddenly surged within her. ‘Does that not mean that I’m like any other person in Harvey’s eyes?’ That I can no longer claim any special relationship with him?’ When she thought of this, Snow’s face turned pale as she quickly took out the diamond and took a good look at it. She comforted herself, “It’s okay. Harvey’s just probably in a bad mood. He even gave me such a precious diamond; how can he give up on me…” After that, she forced out a smile on her face.
Harvey could not be bothered with what Snow was thinking as he drove all the way out of the city. He kept accelerating and accelerating, and very quickly, he was already at San Joto’s speed limit. Yet, he did not care about it. A traffic police officer tried to stop him but was, in turn, stopped by someone beside him.
The older policeman sighed, and he said, “Should’ve asked you to train your eyesight. Luxury cars in San Joto are probably nothing, but that car just now…” The younger police tried to recall, and as if realizing something, his entire person froze. “That…car…” Seeing that he understood, the old police patted his shoulder. Nottingbrook Chloe paid a steep price to finally get out of the police station, and that had pretty much cost her entire fortune.
She looked resentfully at Luka as she slapped him on the face.
“You idiot! Didn’t you say we’ll not get implicated? What is this then?”
Luka clutched his aching face as he, too, had a look of disbelief in his eyes.
Back then, he deliberately looked for the most powerful local gangsters, and they were linked to the police. The police had already arrested Nicole, yet not only did she come out fine, but both he and Chloe were skinned instead.
Both of them fought tooth and nail to finally end up with the crime of instigating a fight. They could get out after paying a fine, but Bluehead had it worst, and after changing his tune, he was fated to be locked in for a good while.
Luka looked at Chloe and could not be bothered with his swollen cheek as he said, “Chloe, don’t be angry, okay? I just found an opportunity to give Nicole’s name to Bluehead. He says that if Nicole dares to come here again, he’ll make her pay!”
Chloe glared coldly at him, “He’s useless! If he could do something to Nicole, the one ending up in this sorry state wouldn’t have been us!”
Luka shook his head in disagreement and let out a hiss as the wound on his cheek bit. “Chloe, you might not know. Bluehead may be nothing, but I’ve heard that the organization he belongs to is the real mastermind. For some reason, however, they did not interfere to get him out…”
How could Luka know that the one throwing Bluehead into the slammer was Mr. William, the Prosecutor , and certainly the forces behind him would not dare to risk life and limb to save
him.
When Chloe heard that, the anger in her eyes somewhat receded. “I wonder if Nicole will come to Nottingbrook again or not…” Luka made a sign as he squinted and smiled. “Aren’t you her cousin? There’s nothing wrong in bringing your cousin to Nottingbrook for a trip, right?”
He was still scheming, and when Chloe heard that, she let out a satisfied smile. The reason she kept Luka around was that he could indeed give her a lot of “good ideas.”
Chapter 250
Thinking that she would settle her score with Nicole sooner or later, Chloe felt much better.
The two got back to the hotel, and just as they were about to rest, the concierge told them that their room card had been frozen, and their items were soon taken out of the room and arranged neatly in the lobby.
Chloe's face was blue with anger as she yelled. 'Is it because of your manager? Let me tell you, I know Mr. Jared..."
Before she could finish, she was mercilessly interrupted by the concierge staff by the side as he politely responded. "It is not that hotel is discriminating against you, ma'am. It's just that Nachelle Holder had already checked out from all of the reserved rooms and left. Thankfully you returned today. Otherwise, your items will be tossed away if they remain unclaimed for more than 24 hours."
Chloe was both shocked and angry when she heard that. "Nonsense! We are still filming here! How can Nachelle Holder check out from all of the rooms? It must be your doing!
Seeing her still trying to throw her weight around, the staff's smile slowly became colder. Ma'am, that is the truth. If you insist on making a scene here, we will have a reason to call the police."
When Chloe heard the word "police," she shrieked like a startled crow. "You bastard! I'm staying here legally; you have no right to call the police on me!"
She then wanted to push the staff aside and rush up the second floor. Just as the staff was about to call the guards, Luka's incredulous voice suddenly rang out.
"Chloe, enough. Look at Nachelle's Twitter post!"
Chloe was stunned when she heard Luka and walked over to ask, "What do you mean?"
Luka immediately took his phone and showed it to her. On it were the words indicating that Nachelle was kicking her out from the crew.
Chloe looked at the tweet in disbelief a few times, her chest heaving in rage. She was like a fish out of the water as her eyes opened wide.
Her heated head slowly cooled down as she looked at Luka blankly. "What does Nachelle mean?"
Luka found it hard to put things into words. "Maybe, maybe she thought that you have a case record..."
Chloe was not in the mood to hear that now as she smashed the phone onto the ground and grabbed Luka. "Was it you? Was it you who told Nachelle?
In other to maintain her profile, Luka had always been the one in touch with the production crew on Chloe's behalf, so she had no idea about the twist and tums in the industry at all.
Now that she saw herself getting kicked out of the crew, and aside from Luka, no one else knew she was arrested by the police, so her first reaction was to assume Luka had done something.
Luka immediately said, "It isn't me? We're on the same boat, no? Why would I do something that stupid?"
It only then did Chloe calm down. As she let Luka go, the scene of her being arrested by the police that day replayed in her mind.
Thinking that it could be something Jared had done in the back, she could not help but shudder.
'But why would he do that? Could it be that... he is in it together with Nicole?'
Recalling the gentle gaze Jared gave Nicole, Chloe's head was about to explode.
Seeing the two standing there like a log, the concierge staff finally said with some impatience, 'Sir, Ma'am, are you leaving now?"
Chloe's eyes were cold. As she recalled Jared's merciless silhouette, she knew that the ambassadorship for JJ Johnston Group was as good as gone. Now that Nachelle kicked her out of the production, and here she was hoping to use this drama, "Lukewarm" to get into the A-List, and now, even that was gone.
Thinking of the culprit of all of these, Chloe gritted her teeth as she hissed. "Nicole, just you wait!
She could not stand the indignity of being chased away, so she turned and walked out of the hotel, leaving Luka with a stack of luggage and a swollen cheek.
