Ch. 2626..2630: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2626-2630
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2626-After chatting for a while, Ellar left.
Nicole went on to gulp the cold drink that Ellar had brought for her before
leaning back against the couch, her eyes darkening as she drifted off into a
reverie.
Time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Chloe’s so-called ‘Ghost Hand’ had finally arrived in San Joto, and so, she
naturally turned to Mr. Riddle Sr., whom she proceeded to urge to pay for the
treatment.
“Grandpa, let me handle this matter,” Nicole said after receiving a call from Mr.
Riddle Sr.
“Okay. But if something really happens, she might be on guard, so be careful,”
Mr. Riddle Sr. reminded her.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa,” Nicole comforted.
After hanging up, Nicole turned to look at Patricia and asked, “How’s the
investigation going?”
“They’ve indeed made preparations. We can’t find any abnormalities. If we didn’t
already know that this Ghost Hand was fake, it would be hard to suspect her,”
Patricia said in a solemn tone of voice.
The people who were investigating Chloe had not made any progress and thus,
were not able to produce any substantial evidence.
Nicole’s eyes narrowed as she thought, ‘Ah, I see now why Chloe got her
imposter to make an appearance in San Joto so quickly. It seems that she has
prepared in advance.’
“What should we do?” Patricia asked, feeling a little troubled.
She was wondering if the people involved should allow Nicole to admit that she
was the actual Ghost Hand in person. On second thought, however, it might not
be a good idea for Nicole to confess to that right now.
“Just let them arrange the surgery.” Nicole stated, her gaze frigid and blank.
“Surgery?!” Patricia was shocked. ‘Are we really going to let Chloe undergo
surgery?’
“Yeah. Have people keep an eye on them and monitor their every move,” Nicole
ordered.
As for the rest, everything would be made clear in due time.
“On it,” Patricia responded, and left the office.
Squinting, Nicole then made a call.
“I need your card,” she said as soon as the call connected.
“Now?” her correspondent asked, seeming rather hesitant.
“Yes, and if I don’t get it tomorrow, someone will know your exact location very
soon,” Nicole said calmly.
After a brief moment of silence, her correspondent yelled,” You jerk!”
With that, the other party hung up, and a faint, cold smile crossed Nicole’s lips.
Meanwhile, in Damien’s house, the entire family was in the living room,
discussing their scheme.
“Chloe, has everything been taken care of?” Miley asked with concern.
“Don’t worry, it’s all done,” Chloe replied, seemingly proud of what she was
doing.
As long as she entered the operating room at the designated moment,
everything would be a success when she came out.
It did not matter if the surgery failed. No one had said that Ghost Hand could
definitely cure her legs anyway.
“Good,” Miley said and clasped her hands together.
Then, she began muttering as if she was praying.
Chloe glanced at Miley with dissatisfaction written all over her face, and said,
“Mom, if your prayers were useful, I would have been able to stand up a long
time ago, and our family wouldn’t have been in its current, sorry state.”
With her face blanching, Miley sighed. “I just hope that things will go smoothly.”
“Alright, regardless of whether it goes smoothly or not, I can only bank on
myself,” Chloe finished.
Even if she wanted to rely on someone else now, no one could help her except
herself.

Chapter 2628
“You’re awfully mysterious today.” Nicole pouted and feigned displeasure.
“Hah,” Jared chuckled softly, gently stroking Nicole’s hair.” You’ll find out when we get there.”
The car soon brought them to a bridal studio.
“Why are we here?” Nicole asked, surprised to see the bridal studio.
“Go in and take a look,” Jared said, before grabbing Nicole’s hand and leading her into the studio.
Once inside, they were greeted by a myriad of wedding dresses in all colors, styles, and designs. It was a beautiful sight to behold.
“Mr. and Mrs. Johnston,” the storekeeper immediately came forward upon seeing Jared and Nicole.
“Bring us to the special section where we can see what we’ve ordered,” Jared said nonchalantly.
“Alright, please follow me,” the staff replied, and immediately led Jared and
Nicole to the inner section.
Nicole finally realized that Jared’s custom-made dress suit had arrived, and they were here to try them on.
“Woah, what’s the rush?” Nicole whispered to Jared, surprised.
“Not at all.” Jared looked at her.
Although they would officially announce their wedding only when Nicole finally agreed to marry him, he had actually been prepared for a while now.
“Mr. and Mrs. Johnston, here we are.” The staff stepped aside, leaned over, and extended her right hand as she invited Jared and Nicole to enter.
After entering the room, Nicole discovered that it was a separate section of the store.
There were two well-placed mannequins, one clothed in a suit and the other in a wedding gown, captivating the pair right off the bat.
The clothes on the male and female mannequins were obviously custom-made, especially the embroidery on the wedding dress, which was completely handsewn. It was lifelike and exceptionally realistic.
There were two fitting rooms in the chamber, and in it were people hired to assist them.
Upon their entry, the staff asked, “Mr. and Mrs. Johnston? Would you like to try on the clothes now?”
“Sure,” Jared agreed and made a beeline for the men’s fitting room.
The stylist delivered Jared’s suit to him and walked up to Nicole. “Mrs. Johnston.
Let me help you change into the wedding dress.”
“Okay,” Nicole agreed and headed toward the other fitting room.
Soon, the stylist brought the wedding dress in and helped Nicole put it on.
After checking it, and confirming that it did fit, she drew the curtain back and
said, “Mrs. Johnston, please take a look in front of the mirror over there.”
When Nicole came out, she immediately saw Jared standing there, waiting for
her. At that moment, Jared had already changed into the well-tailored black suit
that made him look almost ethereal. Although Jared often wore suits, he looked
exceptionally different in Nicole’s eyes today.
Jared looked at Nicole in awe. The wedding dress he had specially designed for
her had made it difficult for anyone to take their eyes off her.
“Mrs. Johnston, with this wedding dress on, you will definitely be the most
gorgeous bride in the entirety of San Joto,” the stylist praised.
She had never seen a bride that was more beautiful and dazzling than Nicole,
who was all smiles as she adjusted her dress.
“Do you like it?” Nicole asked with her brow raised.
“You look amazing!” Jared complimented.
She genuinely looked beautiful in it, and no one could don this dress better than
her.
Nicole blushed as she turned her gaze to the mirror. And when she saw how her reflection looked in the mirror, she was satisfied. At the very next second, Jared
came up beside her, prompting her to flash a blissful smile as she looked at the
two figures standing side by side in the mirror.
Chapter 2629
Then, Nicole looked up at Jared and smiled. “Thank you.”
Jared lowered his head and gently kissed her in the lips.” You’ll have to thank me like this from now.”
Nicole’s cheeks reddened as she rolled her eyes at Jared.’ You wish.’
Smirking, Jared softly said, “I’m glad you like it.”
“Yeah, I do.” Nicole nodded.
She knew this dress was something he had tailored specifically for her. Though she liked it, she liked the effort he had put in even more.
Jared’s gaze was filled with affection as he reached up and smoothed the strand of hair on Nicole’s forehead. His movements were so gentle that he looked like he was tenderly protecting a national treasure.
“Come on.” Nicole grabbed Jared’s arm and whipped her phone out. “I want to take a picture for my phone’s wallpaper.
This way, she could see him anytime and anywhere. She could even imagine what they would look like on their wedding day.
Jared did as he was asked; he took her phone and proceeded to capture a number of selfies with Nicole. Then, he suddenly called out to her.
“Nicole?”
“Yes?” Nicole remained still, wondering why he had called out to her when they were taking photos.
“Nicole?” Jared uttered again.
Puzzled, Nicole turned to look at Jared, who immediately leaned his cheek to the side, at Nicole’s direction. Nicole turned her head just in time to kiss Jared’s cheek, and that was when Jared captured the moment with a click on her phone.
Realizing what happened, Nicole glared at Jared in embarrassment. “Jared!”
Satisfied, Jared quickly sent the photos to his own phone and looked at Nicole with a cheeky smile on his face.” That’s my wallpaper.”
“Jared… Johnston!” Nicole yelled through gritted teeth.
Jared then attempted to soothe her by bending over to kiss her on the cheeks.
“I’ll make it up to you.”
“Hey, who asked you to make it up to me like this?” Nicole’s cheeks turned even redder.
“In that case, how about I kiss you again, and you get to use it as your wallpaper?” Jared said seriously.
Visibly annoyed, Nicole rolled her eyes. “I don’t want to.”
‘Who would use this as a wallpaper? It’ll be really embarrassing if someone sees it. Does Jared not care about his image anymore?’ she pondered.
Just as she was thinking about it, Jared had already set the photo as his home screen wallpaper, grinning from ear to ear.
Nicole’s lips twitched. It seemed to her that he really did not care about his image after all…
The stylist could not stop smiling as she watched the couple engaging in such sweet and loving behavior with one another. Their public display of affection was truly a delight to watch.
On top of that, Mr. Johnston, who had always seemed unapproachable, had turned out to be a big softie when he was with his wife. Indeed, it was a rare sight to behold.
Realizing that there was someone else nearby, Nicole cleared her throat in embarrassment and said, “I think the wedding dress is fine. Let’s just go with this.”
“Sure. We will keep it well and bring it out for the wedding,” the stylist responded.
Soon after, Nicole and Jared changed back into their own clothes and left the bridal studio.
As it was already getting dark, Jared ordered Max, “Take us to Vegeta Dining.” “Of course.” Max nodded.
After that, he quickly drove the couple to Vegeta Dining, where they got down as soon as they arrived.
Chapter 2630
“Let’s have dinner before going home,” Jared said, holding Nicole’s hand as
they sauntered into the restaurant.
Nicole figured that it was better to eat out too, as everyone at home would have
likely finished their meal by the time they got home.
After sitting down, the two ordered their food.
During the wait, a figure appeared by the table, causing Nicole’s brows to furrow
involuntarily.
“Hey, Mr. Johnston and Miss Riddle. What a coincidence,” Harvey said, looking
at the two, seemingly in surprise.
After taking a deep breath, Nicole looked up with a faint smile. “It does seem
quite coincidental, Mr. Ellison.”
Encountering him at any restaurant was something she did not like at all. ‘How
could we even bump into him when we’re eating outside? Is this really a
coincidence?’
Harvey had noticed her tone, and yet, he feigned oblivion and cheerfully replied,
“Indeed, it is. I was just feeling hungry and wanted to grab a bite when I ran into
you both.”
“Since you’re hungry, Mr. Ellison, please go ahead and help yourself,” Nicole
said, already starting to shoo him away.
At this point, she just could not be bothered to waste her time and energy
engaging with him.
Hearing this, Harvey smiled awkwardly. ‘Nicole sure is blunt. We’re already
business partners, and yet, she has no reservations in shooing me away.’
Holding back his feelings, Harvey continued, “Since I’ve already run into you, I
believe there are some details about our collaboration we should discuss now.
Otherwise, I may have to make another trip to Riddle Corporation to see you
tomorrow.”
It was clear that Harvey was threatening her. If she ignored him today, he would
simply meet her in person at the company tomorrow.
Nicole furrowed her brows. She did not want Harvey to stay as she did not want
him to ruin her appetite. However, there was no guarantee that he would not
show up at her office tomorrow, even if she did not get him off her back right
now.
But just as Nicole was about to make him leave, Jared said,” Please, have a
seat.”
Harvey was momentarily stunned, for he had likely not expected Jared to extend
the courtesy to him.
“Okay.” Harvey quickly regained his composure and sat down, before calling the
waiter over and ordering more dishes.
“Mr. Ellison, if you have something to discuss, please do,” Nicole asked in a
business-like manner.
If they were to discuss work, it was best to maintain a professional attitude while
they were at it.
Harvey knew what she was doing, but he smiled and politely continued, “We
can chat while eating too.”
He was not there to discuss work anyway. What he said about work earlier was
just an excuse. His true intention was to stay. Even though he knew he was not
welcome at their table, seeing Nicole’s annoyance somehow brought him
pleasure.
Nicole frowned when she heard what Harvey had said. “I don’t have the habit of
discussing work during meals. If you don’t wish to proceed, it’s better to meet
me at my office tomorrow, Mr. Ellison.”
‘If you don’t want to talk, then just leave right away. Don’t stay here and annoy
people.’
to keep such an attitude,” Harvey said as if Nicole had wronged her.
“I think it’s fine. Besides, you’re the one who wanted to collaborate, aren’t you,
Mr. Ellison?” Nicole shrugged calmly.
After all, she was not the one who invited him to work with her.
“Heh.” Harvey chuckled awkwardly.
As it turned out, Nicole genuinely had no quarter to give him.
He was livid as he gritted his teeth. Jared was there looking at him coldly and
calmly, while Nicole was jabbing at him mercilessly.
Then, the waiter approached him and served him his food.” Excuse me, your
food is ready.”
“Let’s eat,” Nicole placed the dishes that Jared liked in front of him, whereupon
Jared considerately passed some of the food to Nicole.
The two of them displayed their affection without any care in the world, making
Harvey’s grimace even more sour by the minute. He seemed to have dug his
own grave, and he suddenly felt that staying was a mistake.
Then, it became clear as to why Jared was willing to let him stay. He had clearly
wanted to see him being embarrassed right in the scene.
