Ch. 251..255: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 251-255

Chapter 251

Luka went to pick up the luggage dejectedly as a trace of resentment appeared on his face. ‘If it weren’t for Chloe, I would not have ended up like this.’ However, none of these mattered anymore. Both of them were on the same boat now, and their interests tightly bound together. It was far too late to leave now.

A sliver of resentment toward Nicole then appeared in his eyes. ‘It’s all that damned Nicole’s fault that I end up like this. If I ever run into you in this country again, just see how I do you in!

Chloe walked out of the hotel door and hailed a taxi as she headed straight to the airport. Sitting at the boarding gate, she angrily gave Miley a call. Upon receiving the call, Miley was surprised as she asked, “Chloe, aren’t you filming now? Why do you have time to call mommy?

Chloe’s voice was chilly. “Mom, where’s Uncle Daniel’s daughter, Nicole, now?”

Miley asked her quizzically, “Nicole? Why are you asking for her? She isn’t even a member of the Riddle family. You are a million times better than her, being cast for Nachelle Holder’s show at just twenty. You can surely inherit your mother’s mantle and become the most excellent actress…”

Chloe always loved to listen to Miley blowing her trumpet, but now every single word of hers was pricking her right in the heart, causing bursts of embarrassing pain.

Chloe could not help but interrupt her, “Mom, stop. Just tell me where Nicole is.”

Miley was surprised by her daughter’s attitude but thinking that she might be too tired from the filming, she comforted the latter. “Chloe, don’t be like that. You’ll look very rude. If you’re tired from filming, you can just tell mommy…”

Chloe could not stand it any longer and hung up. After a moment’s hesitation, she gave a call to Damien instead.

As soon as the call connected, Damien’s cold voice came from the other side. “Chloe, what are you looking for me for?”

Chloe gritted her teeth and told him the matter of her losing her place in Nachelle Holder’s production and also the ambassadorship of JJ Johnston Group. She also added on to the story of Nicole sending her to the police station without even mentioning that she was the instigating party

Stie thought Damien would be extremely angry hearing that and help her deal with Nicole. After all, her father was really after her ambassadorship for Jl Johnston Group and had always asked her about the progress through Miley. Now that the ambassadorship was good as gone, lie must be furious

She was hoping for her father to stand up for her, yet what came from the other side was wiexpreled short silence

As Damien listened to his daughter complaining, he heard her hatred toward Nicole in her voice. He held his aching head as his eyes glinting as he ran scenarios in his head Based on what Chloe said, she might never be able to have anything to do with ] Johnston

Group any longer, but Nicole had a firm relationship with the Rogers family. Moreover, until now, he did not know how Nicole got to know Mr. Ellison or those special forces and felt that her identity was unusually mysterious.

If he could not get to the bottom of this, he would not act rashly against Nicole. In contrast, it would be better if he could put Nicole to good use instead.

About a dozen seconds later, he thought through everything and said to Chloe on the other side of the phone, “Chloe, as the elder cousin, you need to get along with her. Since Nicole is still immature, just be more tolerant to her.”

‘Once I’ve climbed my way to a high enough position, my daughter will no longer need to be so aggrieved anymore.’ He thought.

Chloe totally did not expect her father to give her such a reply. She was so apoplectic she shuddered, and her voice turned shrill. “Dad, what is this? I’m the one being bullied by Nicole!

Chapter 252

When Damien heard Chloe, he frowned. His daughter was competitive by nature, and no matter what she did, she would strive for the best. It was because of this she got the recognition of the Rogers branch family, but it was since then that she began to lose patience and refuse to bow her head in everything.

‘How can she achieve grander things like this?’

Damien shook his head, and his voice bore a tinge of resoluteness. “It’s decided. Open your eyes, don’t be fooled by the illusions before you.”

‘Wasn’t she always clear on what she wanted?’

‘For those things, she needs to ignore the rest.’

When Chloe heard Damien’s words, she slowly calmed down as she carefully pondered her father’s words. A moment later, seemingly realizing something, she responded softly.” Alright.”

Seeing that Chloe knew what he meant, he told her a few more things with great satisfaction before hanging up.

He looked at his watch and was about to leave the office. He then saw Everett standing by the door with his head down, thinking.

Seeing Damien walking over, Everett raised his head, with obedience radiating from his handsome face. “Dad, is it a call from Chloe?”

Damien looked at Everett and nodded. “Why are you here?”

Everett looked at Damien and smiled. “Isn’t it lunchtime now? I just want to have lunch with you, Dad.”

Damien frowned a little. This son of his was not bad in business, but he was just average. Here he was not putting his back into his work and instead had the time to ask him out for lunch?

He said somewhat happily. “I have something to attend to, so I’ll pass on that. Also, how many times do I need to tell you what should you call me in the office?”

Everett’s eyes dimmed. “Mr. Riddle,” he addressed Damien respectfully.

Damien then nodded with a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.

Although this son was useless, he still had one good point.

And that he was obedient.

He did not waste any time with the latter anymore but hurriedly went downstairs as he picked up his car and left Riddle Corporation, Everett lowered his head after his father left, feeling extremely dejected.

In this family of his, his parents only valued his sister, while he was treated like nothing… No one knew how many hours had passed, but Mr. Riddle Sr.’s operation was finally over. The operation was very successful, and Nicole handed the suture over to Rowan. She then

walked out of the operating room and took out her mask and gloves, her eyes red from exhaustion.

She washed her face with cold water and pulled out her phone to inform Ms. Emerson she was taking two days off. After some thought, she clearly wrote down the reason as well.

“To look after a sick relative.’ Normally, seven days after surgery would be a high-risk period, but inside Rowan’s lab, this time can be shortened to just two days.

She then sent Austin and the rest, asking them to hand over the homework she gave them online for her to check, not allowing them to miss a day.

She was almost done going through the textbook with them. What remained was for them to consolidate what they had learned and revise.

Nicole sat on the chair as she fiddled with her phone.

Soon, Rowan pushed Mr. Riddle Sr., who had been stitched up, out of the operation room. Nicole stood up and went downstairs. She ignored the gaze of others as she started matching something on the desk in B Section on the left side of the first floor. She then brought a small packet of medicine and stuffed it into Rowan’s hands.

 

Chapter 253

“B0-2, Three times a day.”

Rowan pulled the medicine into his chest pocket, and just as he was about to ask something, Nicole had already turned around and walked to Mr. Riddle Sr.’s ward.

Rowan was taken aback and asked, “The operation is complete. Why don’t you take a break?”

Nicole waved him off. She wanted to check and ensure nothing was wrong.

Rowan knew her nature, and when she was responsible for something, she would be terrifyingly serious. Now that Mr. Riddle Sr. was her responsibility, how could she take a break just like that?

He shook his head and said somewhat oddly. “I’ll go make the medicine then.”

Nicole did not look back at him as a smile appeared on her lips.

By the time Rowan was done mixing the infusion and returned to the ward, he noticed a medium-sized book in front of Nicole. He deftly did the infusion and hung the drip bag, and walked over to her side to see what she was up to.

When he saw what was before her, Rowan’s eyes widened.

“Eh, Nicole, what’s with these Math Olympiad questions?” ‘Didn’t Nicole already get the Woods Award long ago? Why is she looking at the stuff that should be child’s play for her?’ Nicole looked faintly at him. She had not slept at all last night, yet she did not feel anything at all. She crossed her arms as she sat there, ignoring Rowan’s question, and simply asked, “Do you have a pen?”

Nicole just was not used to answering questions without a pen to twirl.

Rowan rolled his eyes somewhat speechlessly. “Answer me first.”

“I made a bet with someone,” Nicole responded without any emotions.

Rowan shrugged and reluctantly accepted that excuse. He then mumbled as he went out,” What age is it now? Still using pen, you’re as old-fashioned as ever…”

Everyone in the medical laboratory was already using laser pens that directly connected with the optical cortex. Not only that would achieve perfect accuracy, but it also ensured the safety and confidentiality of the records,

Rowan searched all over the entire lab to only find a gel pen from an intern.

His eyes lit up and rushed toward that person like a hungry wolf. The intern was so shocked he took a step back, “Boss, I know there was a small mistake in my test data, but I’ve fixed that already. Also, I promise I’ll be loyal to the lab. If you order it, I’ll do anything… Wait, what are you doing?”

Rowan did not pay any attention to what the intern was mumbling as he rushed over and grabbed at the latter’s chest. The poor intern thought he was going to encounter unspoken workplace rules and closed his eyes with a herote expression,

Rowan took away the pen sitting in his coat pocket with a look of contempt on his face before turning around and going back to the second floor.

Seeing that Rowan had left, the intern patted himself on the chest, heaving a sigh of relief as he looked at Rowan’s back. He thought he was a goner just now.

Very quickly, Rowan handed the pen to Nicole, and that sat beside her as he watched her answer the questions with interest.

Nicole noticed him getting close and frowned. “Get out.”

Rowan felt a little wronged as he said, “You clearly have no need to look at those questions, We haven’t seen each other for so long, and not only you wouldn’t catch up with me, you want to chase me out?”

If the lab workers heard that demon of a mixed-blooded doctor would say something so soft, their jaws would have fallen off in shock.

Nicole only turned to look at him. There was a glint in her eyes, carrying with it a subconscious coldness and pride. ‘Any problems with that?

 

Chapter 254

Rowan immediately shrank back as he laughed. “Let’s talk like civilized people. I’ll leave myself.”

He remembered the one time he interrupted Nicole’s experiment, and she gave him the same kind of gaze. The next second, she tossed him out of the lab.

He was not exaggerating. She really did toss him out.

Rowan fell outside the door, his entire person in a daze. He pinched his muscles in disbelief, and when he looked at Nicole’s slender arm, he started to doubt himself.

However, he had the awareness to never challenge Nicole’s patience.

A long separation somewhat dulled that pain as Rowan walked out of the ward with an impassive look on his face.

He had not slept for a whole day and night. He was not a monster like Nicole.

He still needed his sleep.

Nicole ignored Rowan as she slowly twirled her pen and quickly went through the exercise. She did not have much time left and needed to learn the cumbersome algorithms used by the common folk to calculate these things. After all, the International Math’s Olympiad questions were different from the ones in Hustuaburg. Nicole flipped through this upgraded exercise book with a faint look of interest in her eyes.

Two hours later, she was almost done with the exercise. She stretched back and relaxed her brain, yet she did not feel tired at all.

She only wanted coffee. She looked at Mr. Riddle Sr. before her. His heart rate had gradually stabilized, calm and powerful as if it had returned to normal.

But Nicole knew very well that even with specialized medicines, it would take until at least tomorrow to ensure nothing was wrong.

She put her legs on the table before her as her thoughts floated far away. A person would die of age or sickness sooner or later, and doctors were just trying to lengthen the whole process before that time arrived.

‘If this kind of incident could happen to grandpa, whose life is well – provided for, then what about Grandma, who is not much different from him in age?’ Thinking that she had not seen Mrs. Wallace Sr. for almost a month now, she let out a soft sigh. ‘Let’s find one day to go back to Great Oak’

Rowan had taken his nap and stretched as he walked out. Upon seeing Nicole’s expressionless face, he was surprised. “It can’t be right. You’re not on a mission, so why aren’t you resting?” He walked over to inspect Mr. Riddle Sr.’s condition and patted Nicole on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, the operation was very successful, and the medicine is also working now. You don’t have to stay here. I’ll take over, go and get some rest.”

Before his words even trailed off, he saw Nicole looking at him, her voice rather soft. “Do you have coffee here?” Rowan raised his eyebrow. “Of course, Americano with no sugar, right?”

Nicole nodded as she looked at Rowan with an inexplicable gaze.

Rowan saw the contempt in her glance as he roared at her. “Was? Ich füge gerne Zucker und Milch mit meinen Schwarzkaffee, gibt es eien problem?” (What? I like to add sugar and milk to my black coffee, is there a problem?)

He was so anxious that he spurted out a sentence directly in Almagnian. Nicole raised her eyebrow, and as she looked at Rowan’s face, she did not respond to his temper but instead replied in Almagnian too, “Weiß dein Vater Du bist hier?” (Does your father know you are here?) Rowan shook his head irritably as he heard that. The braid on his head too shook as well. He pushed his hand into the pocket of his coat, and a look of rejection of broaching this topic appeared on his face.

Chapter 255

“Do not mention him. He is not my father.” Nicole knew that the relationship between this father and son pair was tense, but she did not expect it to be like this.

She did not say much but instead patted him on the shoulder. “Go, remember my coffee.”

Rowan nodded as he walked out of the room. A faint look of bewilderment appeared in his eyes as he muttered to himself.

“He is not my father. I don’t have a father like him!”

The hands inside his coat pocket silently clenched as well.

Rowan calmed himself down, and when he recalled that person’s cold pair of eyes on him, his entire person shuddered.

Someone walked past him, and seeing him standing there unmoving, the person hurriedly greeted him, “Boss, why are you here?”

Rowan snapped back and simply replied that he was okay. He then looked at the person.” Aren’t you supposed to extract copper thiol ATP enzyme at Sector D for me? Why are you here asking me what I’m doing here?”

The person choked at the words. He did not expect that his boss would know which section he belonged to and what he was studying from the one-two hundred people in this lab, so he could only laugh it off and say, “Everyone is curious about that beauty that came in yesterday, I’m representing everyone from Section D to have a gander at her.”

Everyone was surprised when Nicole glanced down for a moment yesterday and could not get a proper look at what she looked like.

One had to understand that working day and night in the underground lab, the guys had not seen even a female mosquito for a good while now.

And, as the lucky winner of the scissors, paper, stone game of the nine people left in Team D, he was sent up by everyone enviously on a glorious mission to see the beauty. Yet, none of them expected things to go badly, and not only did he not see the beauty, but he also ran into the demon-like Rowan instead.

Rowan sneered as soon as he heard that, “She isn’t someone the likes of you can see. Get back now!”

Rowan did it out of kindness. After all, Nicole hated the most being watched by others. If she were to be watched by these bunch of fools like a monkey, he was afraid that she might beat them senseless.

When that time comes, who will be doing the work? What he did not know was that after her time at the Royal Creek Institute, Nicole was almost immune to all sorts of stares,

After all, she already knew how weak these people were and could snap their bones with just a touch.

The man would have been normally scared to death if Rowan were to bark at him like that, but to see the beauty today, he appeared somewhat more courageous as he said, “Boss, the beauty is for everyone to see. How can you keep her for yourself.”

Seeing how brazen he was, Rowan squinted and laughed instead, an arc forming in his deeply contoured face. The man had never seen such a brilliant smile from Rowan before and immediately had goosebumps.

“You want to see? Fine, she’s in the third room from the back. Go and have a look then.”

‘You really can’t stop someone who has a death wish.’ That thought appeared in his mind as Rowan stirred the coffee in his hand.

He originally thought that by the time he got back to the ward, he would see Nicole beat the crap out of his subordinate. Yet, when he got there, Nicole was just sitting there while his subordinate was asking her questions with a feverish expression. After getting her answer, he immediately used the pen Rowan had taken from him to jot down something. When Rowan saw this, his hand that was about to knock on the door paused.

It was Nicole who caught a whiff of the faint coffee aroma. She looked at Rowan. The coldness in her eyes was abated, seemingly questioning him why he had not brought the coffee in yet.

Rowan shuddered, and when he walked in, he looked at the light in his subordinate’s eyes with a puzzled look.

“This is the look of seeing a pretty woman, a look of taking in all of the beauty!”
