Ch. 356..360: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 356-360
Chapter 356
With that suspicion in mind, he looked at the person in the car before him. It happened that the driver door’s slowly rose as the long legs of the person inside stepped out and pulled off the helmet with her left hand before gently shaking her long hair free.
Under the twilight sun, her posture was graceful, and brought with it a bit of mysterious allure.
‘It’s a woman!
‘Wait… this back…’ Gary’s eyes widened. He looked at the familiar slender figure before him as the scene of Nicole defeating Cain and over a dozen other people appeared in his mind.
She was like a goddess of war, heroic yet beautiful at the same time.
Gary found it difficult to believe his own eyes.
So, the person whose racing technique that was beyond him, and the owner of car No.16, was actually Nicole?
He did not have time to think as he immediately hit the door lever and got out from the car.
Gary tossed the helmet into the car as he walked straight toward the woman.
He wanted to see for himself whether the person was Nicole or not!
However, before he could get there, another man was standing by her side.
Jared looked at Nicole, a combative look still lingered in her eyes as if a proud charm was emanating from her body.
He gently bent over and pushed her stray hair strands to the back of her ear, caressing her gently as he smiled and asked.
“Was it fun?”
Nicole’s originally irritable mood was long gone in that race just now. She looked at the man before her and let out a faint smile.
“Yeah.”
Her eyes glimmered and seemed to be in a good mood.
The smile in Jared’s eyes deepened as he got up and raised his eyebrows at her.
“Let’s go?”
Nicole nodded and took a step forward as the two-left side by side. Gary, who was a step behind, watched the two seemingly intimate figures before him and clenched his fists tightly. .
Jared Johnston was standing right before him, and how can he not recognize the former?
Yet, even when Jared saw him, he did not even look over.
It was not done out of contempt, rather, Jared did not even deign to look at him.
Gary lowered his gaze as he stopped moving. He looked on as the two walked into the distance, yet he could not even utter a single word.
It seemed like he had underestimated Nicole a little too much.
When Jared got up, he seemingly remembered something as he lazily put his coat on his shoulder and whispered to Mack, who was behind him.
“Give me all of the details of car No.14.”
‘How dare you touch my woman?’
‘You have death wish.’ How could Mack not see that what happened earlier was no accident, but car No.14 had deliberately wanted to do harm Nicole.
Upon hearing that, he nodded and said, “Mr. Jared, I’ll be investigating even if you did not give the word. I’ll definitely put this guy’s name on to the racing clubs’ blacklist. His racing days are as good as over.”
Yet Jared was not moved by his words at all. His eyes narrowed a little, and no one could clearly see the emotions in his eyes.
”That’s no where near enough.”
“WHAT?!
Mack did not immediately react to what that meant, but someone in the club quickly sent the information of the owner of car No.14 over.
Chapter 357
Mack did not have the time to think about it as he respectfully handed the information to Jared.
“Have a look, Mr. Jared.” Jared casually took the pad and have a look. As his gaze felt onto the screen, he let out a light smirk.
‘He’s just a person who’s relying on relations and he dares to act like he owns San Joto?’ He did not linger as he turned and walked out, and chilliness beyond words appearing on his back.
As Mack looked on, he shuddered hard after a good while. He finally understood what Jared meant when he said it was nowhere near enough.
That Solomon Freeman almost killed Mr. Jared’s girl. How can he be done with him by just putting the former in a blacklist, losing a career that was totally dispensable? Now that he had crossed Jared, that Solomon Freeman was as good as dead. He shook his head.
There was no pity in his eyes as he felt that this sort of miscreants deserved whatever pain that came their way. Mack raised his hand and deleted Solomon’s personal details from the database. He then returned to the registration booth as he sat down chewing on a leaf.
When he looked at Jared and Nicole walking out of the site, the smile on his face became much more sincere, as he looked at Nicole and said, “Ma’am, your driving skills are top notch! I was really blind then!”
When Nicole heard him calling her that, the corner of her eyes raised a little with a look of confusion.
Mack was a very perceptive person and he immediately caught what she was thinking and explained, “It’s like that, when I was younger, I challenged Mr. Jared here, that I’d be his underling if I lose… So…
you know what happened next. So, calling him boss doesn’t sound right, so I called him Mr. Jared. Going by the relationship between the two of you, calling you Ma’am is right! Ahahaha…”
Nicole was somewhat speechless when she heard that. She looked at Jared and he simply just nodded. Nicole then turned toward Mack and said with a very calm voice.
“Just call me Nicole.”
Mack nodded in a daze and then said.
“Yes, Ma’am.” Nicole could not be bothered to correct him anymore, so she asked.
“I saw that someone was betting on me winning?”
When Mack heard about that, he silently glanced at Jared and then scratched his head and said, “Ugh, Ma’am, it’s because there’s still people with good eye among us. Some of them were awed by your presence when you stepped forward, so…”
He did not even believe that himself.
Nicole noticed the interaction between him and Jared as she glanced at Jared with a smile, with no dissatisfaction in her voice.
“How much did you win?” Hers was an upset victory, so the odds were maxed out.
Jared looked at her sharp eyes as he raised the corner of his lips and said, “Not much, just three hundred million.”
He had put in a 100 million dollar bet earlier, alongside the earnings from being the dealer, and the doubled odds, his earnings tripled. Mack thought that Nicole would be surprised when she heard that.
After all, three hundred million was still a big number even for a pro racer. Yet, Nicole simply just nodded, with a tinge of vexation in her eyes. ‘It’s not much, indeed. When Nicole looked at the two, the corners of his mouth twitched. He was the famous Mack Orwell, and even he would tremble at three hundred million. The two of them, however, were unfazed at all.
‘If it was Mr. Jared, so be it, the amount of money he earns a day was many times this number, but isn’t Nicole being a bit pretentious here?’ Another thought soon followed, and Mack understood why.
‘She’s after all Mr. Jared’s woman,’ Little wonder, little wonder.
Chapter 358
Jared and Nicole could not be bothered about the thoughts swirling in his mind as they slowly walked out of the place. Seeing that they were not even looking back, Mack immediately said.
“Bye, Mr. Jared, Ma’am!”
‘Let’s get him to be the dealer again next time and earn another haul!’ However, the starting pot itself was already well worth it this time, and Mack totally felt that it was well worth it!
‘Mr. Jared is really my Plutus!’ The two ignored him as Nicole turned to the man in front of her and asked, “You came here often?”
It seemed like he was very familiar with Mack Yet, Jared simply just shook his head. His beautiful eyes squinted a little, as if he was recalling some distant memories.
“I’ve came here a few times when I was thirteen. After I came back, I did come to have a look a few times, but have never raced again.”
‘Thirteen years old?’ Nicole looked at him thoughtfully.
‘Isn’t that almost ten years ago?’
‘What sort of kid would be called Mister at thirteen years old?’ Jared seemingly saw through a confusion as a cold smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
Unlike Gary’s style, it was a whole different ballgame. What Jared signed up for, was a race between life or death. He was a daredevil racer here, the kind where they earned money using their lives.
When he recalled that scene again, his eyes turned red, and he felt slightly suffocated. Fortunately, he was very talented, so he survived.
When Nicole looked at his eyes, the empty look in his iris was slowly filled with darkness, and they were terrifying She did not think much as she immediately tugged his hand.
“Let’s not come here again.” Nicole could roughly tell what had happened. After all, from what Jared had disclosed thus far, his childhood was probably not a happy one.
Jared snapped back from his memories and when he heard Nicole’s cold voice ringing by his earside, a little more warmth appeared in his hands. He smiled and grabbed Nicole’s hand, a tinge more genuine emotions appearing in his eyes.
“Alright.”
In fact, for him, his lamentable past no longer mattered. Yet, when he saw her looking at him with such a concerned look on her face, and he could not say that he did not care about it.
If he really did not mind it, he would not have driven all the way here, right?
Just as the two were looking at each other, a few voices rang out from behind them.
‘Miss, can… can you do us a favor?”
“Hm?”
Nicole and Jared turned around and looked at the few. Nicole’s memory was good and immediately recognized the few familiar faces she had seen earlier.
It was those audiences, and a few racers as well! Nicole did not speak and assuming that she was unwilling, the few immediately added, “We have no other meaning, we just wanted an autograph!”
She did not her trip here this time would garner her fans.
Looking at the nervous few, she smiled and did not refuse them as she said, “Where should I sign?”
The few were true racing fans and were very excited as they said.
“You can just sign on my shirt!”
After all, they had only managed to get a marker pen from the organizer, and not a single piece of paper.
Nicole nodded as she deftly signed her autograph on their clothes as Jared raised an eyebrow.
Chapter 359
At the end of her name, Nicole would habitually carve her signature, as if she was writing an S.
Alongside Nicole’s rigid handwriting, it was strangely beautiful. Gary, who had just walked out, too saw that scene. When he saw the left behind at each signature, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
After completing the signing, Nicole returned to Jared’s side. Seeing the two were about to leave, one of the fans asked with a whisper.
“Will you be coming back here to race again?”
Nicole did not turn back, her voice was faint, and quickly faded with the wind.
“No.”
Gary heard the answer from afar, and inexplicably felt lost for a moment. ‘She won’t be coming back?’
Without stepping forward, Gary simply just watched as Nicole left with Jared, feeling as if something had been hollowed out in his heart.
The two got into the car and Jared was still smiling. He started the car as his fingers tapped gently on the steering wheel, looking very slothful.
Nicole noticed that he seemed to be very happy, and a smile appeared in her eyes. She felt the cool early autumn wind slowly blowing in her face as she took in the familiar scent of cedar and subconsciously closed her eyes.
When she woke up again, it was already dark as she nonchalantly took off the coat on her.
After falling asleep beside Jared for a few times, it did not seem all too awkward for Nicole now.
Her expression was impassive, but she still felt chagrined deep down. Her usual caution and alertness were seemingly gone beside him. Nicole then looked up as she met the man’s deep, black eyes. When Jared saw her wake up, the light in his eyes slowly gleamed like a star in the night, bright yet warm. “You’re awake.”
Nicole nodded as she handed him his coat, her voice still hoarse from waking up.
“What’s the time now?”
Jared casually looked at the watch and said faintly.
“It’s still early, not past closing time yet.”
‘It’s already ten o’clock?’ Nicole did not think she would be able to sleep for so long as a rare hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
When Jared looked at her like that, the smile in his eyes radiated even more. As he looked at her beautiful eyes, his voice subconsciously became so much gentler.
“I was just pulling your leg. It’s only eight o’clock.” Nicole looked at him. There was no anger in her eyes, but instead there was a hint of helplessness.
She was worried that he was waiting here for too long. Jared seemingly could tell what she was thinking and sighed a little, as he looked at Nicole very seriously in the eyes.
“You don’t have to be so considerate.”
Nicole looked at him with some confusion and the look in his eyes could not help but to become gentler.
“I do not wish to be a burden to you.” She should be carefree before him and did not need to think about other people and things, rather than be so concerned about his feelings all the time. Nicole did not agree with that point of view as she gently grabbed his hand and shook it a little.
“Do you think our feelings aren’t the same? You need to think both ways.”
What she meant was that she was unable to not think about his feelings.
Understanding what she meant, Jared looked at her left hand holding onto his right as he silently held her hand tightly.
Chapter 360
Chapter 360 A long silence fell inside the carriage.
In the end, it was Nicole who broke the silence. She looked at the cherry blossom tree in front of the car as she let go and got down from the car.
“I should be going.” If she were to wait anything, it will be too late to get back. Jared too got down as he looked at the girl’s dormitory with a tinge of regret.
If possible, he wanted to escort her upstairs. Nicole seemingly saw through his thoughts as she glanced at him and smiled, waving her hands at him as she headed upstairs.
Jared looked on as she disappeared from his sight. It was only then did he took out his phone and gave Max a call.
The earlier gentleness in his voice toward Nicole was nowhere to be found, and instead, a frost had taken over it.
“Take care of someone for me.”
Max was at JJ Johnston Group dealing with some documents. The indifferent look on his face disappeared as soon as he put down the phone as a tinge of brutality appeared between his eyes.
‘Anyone who dares to cross Jared is done for in this lifetime!’
Nicole returned to her dormitory and found June and Lulu were doing their revisions. The monthly exams were drawing close with only three days left, and they were still somewhat nervous.
When they saw Nicole came back, they gave her the best courtesy treatment they had as they greeted Nicole enthusiastically.
And just as quickly, they returned to their revision. Seeing how hardworking they are, Nicole raised her eyebrows as she took out a book a sat beside them.
Lulu, who was in the midst of her revision, was a little curious. Would Nicole actually revise things properly like them?
She stretched her head over and took a careful glance.
‘Damn…. I didn’t understand at word at all.’
Lulu then silently pulled her little head away.
When June saw her reaction, she too was a little curious as she glanced at Nicole and asked, “. Nicole, what are you looking at?”
Nicole waved the book in her hand, her voice somewhat impassive. “The Hippocratic Papers.”
‘The what?’
Seeing that Lulu and June were staring blankly at her, Nicole explained plainly.
“The first medical journal in history, the many simple yet primitive theories inside it are actually quite interesting.”
Lulu looked at the doodle-like Graecian alphabets and she had no idea how Nicole could say this with such a straight face.
June nodded thoughtfully. Modern medicine was obsessed with all sorts of complicated and high-end medical techniques, yet at times it was not as profound as the straightforward understanding of medicine by the ancient people.
Seeing both of them were interested, Nicole raised her eyebrows as she asked, “Want to hear more about it?”
Both Lulu and June immediately turned back as they wordlessly indicated that they were not free at the moment. Seeing this, a smile appeared in Nicole’s eyes. The three of them sat there quietly doing their own things. When It was about half past ten, June paused and softly said.
“Lights off.”
Both Nicole and Lulu packed up their books as the three was done washing up, June turned off the lights.
In the darkness, only their shallow breathing could be heard.
A minute later, June’s soft voice rang out. “Nicole, what’s the deal with that diamond today?”
Lulu too was wondering about it, and when she heard June asking the same thing, her ears immediately perked up.
