Ch. 376..380: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 376-380

Chapter 376

Snow saw that Harvey had talked to her and became bolder. She walked over to Harvey cautiously and said, “What is there to talk about with the old lady from the countryside”

Before she could finish speaking, Harvey shot her an icy look and then let out a cruel smile at the self- righteous girl in front of him.

“We’re going to have a lot of common topics,” he said.

But he would have nothing to say to Snow.

Thinking of that farce the other day, Harvey looked at Snow with pity. The fact that she could even lose the gift that suited her best made him less likely want to talk to her.

“Snow.” Harvey’s voice was indifferent, but with a hint of extreme malice to it. “Come back and talk to me when you get that diamond back.”

He then got up and left, leaving Snow to watch him leave with her eyes wide open. Snow was rooted to the spot for a long while before a hint of ruthlessness surfacing in her eyes.

She knew it; Harvey would only be angry with her because she had lost the diamond.

‘I’m going to get the diamond back-whatever it takes!’ she said in her mind.

Edwin accompanied Nicole and Mrs. Wallace Sr. on a campus tour. Nicole had not been to many areas of the campus. She spent her time at the sportsground, classroom, cafeteria, dormitory, and, of course, the café, every day. She had never been to other entertainment facilities.

Edwin was a junior in college, and so he knew the campus much better than Nicole did.

Mrs. Wallace Sr. was following Edwin from behind and looked at him with interest. Even the look in Nicole’s eyes had also become gentle. Just then, Edwin’s mobile phone rang. He picked the phone and answered it, his face grave. Nicole saw his expression and knew that it must be about something unusual.

Sure enough, after hanging up the phone, Edwin apologetically told Nicole and Mrs. Wallace Sr. that he had to leave to take care of something. Mrs. Wallace Sr. waved her hand, saying that he had no obligation to show her around, and that she was happy to hear such an interesting explanation from him.

Nicole also nodded appreciatively at Edwin. She then looked on and narrowed her eyes as Edwin went in a hurry.

The thought of Edwin’s request for her to grant him a favor came to mind.

Had she not been tracked, she would have wanted to help him. As she thought of Zeke, she recalled what Zeke told her this morning; he had accepted a job that seemed not easy, and that he would contact her at any time

Nicole looked at the empty mailbox and then thought of Edwin’s expression just now. As if thinking of something, a light flashed in her eyes.

Mrs. Wallace Sr. did not notice all this. She felt a little tired after walking for so long, so Nicole took her to the school gate. Mrs. Wallace Sr. asked casually, “Who’s that guy? He seems like a good guy.”

Nicole did not give it a second thought but said casually, “He is my senior.”

Mrs. Wallace Sr., looked at her granddaughter thoughtfully and said in a soft voice, “The boy in the cafeteria earlier..”

‘You have to stay away from him.’

She didn’t say this last part. Nicole saw the hesitation in Mrs. Wallace Sr.

“He and I will not have a chance.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Wallace Sr. nodded in relief.

Chapter 377

The cicadas were still restless, and the afternoon sun was brutal in the early fall. Nicole was young and strong, so she did not feel anything. But she was worried that her grandmother could not stand the heat. So she and her grandmother walked in the shades of the trees all the way, and she gently fanned her grandmother with her hand.

Nicole was preoccupied with Mrs. Wallace Sr. all the way and had not noticed the familiar black vehicle with the unknown logo trailing her.

The car drove slowly and followed the two of them, not honking so as not to disturb them. It was Mrs. Wallace Sr. who first discovered the vehicle. She looked back at it with some trepidation before she said to Nicole, “Do you see that there’s a car trailing us?”

Nicole looked back cautiously. Immediately, a look of pleasant surprise filled her face when she saw the car.

Mrs. Wallace Sr. knew her granddaughter well and looked at her thoughtfully. She had never seen Nicole having such an expression before.

The vehicle pulled up in front of them, and the window dropped, revealing Jared’s face inside. He nodded gently at Mrs. Wallace Sr. and then looked at Nicole.

“Do you want to get in the car?

Nicole looked at him with a smile on her face subconsciously. Seeing her nod, Jared stepped out of the car and opened the rear passenger door for Mrs. Wallace Sr.

After she got in, he went around to the other side and revealed a graceful smile when he saw Nicole’s expression easing up.

“May I, Nicole?” he said with a gesture.

Nicole did not decline. She looked at Jared with a half-smile before getting in the car.

If anyone saw this, they would open their mouths in shock.

People would wonder what it took for someone to make Jared Johnston of San Joto their chauffeur, and in this case, an old lady and a little girl.

Even the president of Hustuaburg would probably not get this privileged treatment.

But Jared was not ashamed of it at all. Instead, he had a smile on his face, as if doing these things made him feel happy.

He finally got into the front passenger seat and looked at Nicole in the rearview mirror.” Going back to the Riddle Mansion?”

Nicole nodded, and Jared started the car.

In order to take care of the elderly, he drove slowly with soft music playing in the background. The seat felt cool and comfortable even in the scorching sun, with a faint scent of fragrance.

Jared, who was sitting in the front, said to Mrs. Wallace Sr., “Hello, I’m a friend of Nicole’s, Jared.”

“Hello.” Mrs. Wallace Sr. immediately broke into a smile, as she had a good impression of Jared.

She then looked at Nicole with a knowing look in her eyes. Nicole felt embarrassed; she knew she could not tell her grandma that Jared was her fiancé.

”He is the owner of a café opposite our campus.”

“I didn’t know that.”

If he could open a café in a place like San Joto, he must be pretty “okay”, Mrs. Wallace Sr. thought.

It would be even better if he was not someone with too high of a social status and did not find Nicole embarrassing him.

Now, Mrs. Wallace Sr. felt a lot more at ease.

“This must be your first time in San Joto. I will show you around,” Jared said.

“It’s so nice of you, but I don’t want you to trouble you.” Mrs. Wallace Sr. was hesitant because she did not want to trouble anyone.

“Not at all.” Jared smiled and motioned for Max to drive the car out of school.

Along the way, Jared occasionally struck up a conversation to make Mrs. Wallace Sr. feel at ease. Seeing that Grandma and Jared were chatting happily, Nicole looked out the window.

The dazzling sunlight was perfectly blocked by the window of the car, but she could still feel the warm and pleasant afternoon feeling.

 

Chapter 378

A gentle smile crept across her face. During the chat, Jared and Mrs. Wallace Sr. had talked about Nicole’s childhood. Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked into the distance when she recalled the past.

“Nicole didn’t laugh much since she was a kid, but I never have to worry about her.!

Mrs. Wallace Sr. had a faint sense of nostalgia in her eyes as she recollected the memories.

Jared looked at the two of them in the rearview mirror and saw a rare, strong emotion on Nicole’s beautiful face, but he said nothing, just leaving space for them.

For the first time, he saw Nicole looked so soft, without the slightest caution or mental guard. Her grandmother must be important to her. After driving around San Joto for a round, the car dropped them off at the Riddle Mansion. Because Mr. Riddle Sr. was sick, and Daniel and his wife almost stayed in the mansion most of the time, so Nicole brought his grandmother here.

As the car came to a halt, Mrs. Wallace Sr. and Nicole got out of the car. Nicole looked at Jared. Jared smiled at Nicole and then said, “Mrs. Wallace, Nicole, I’ll see you around.”

See Mrs. Wallace Sr. nodding, Jared then rolled up the window.

The black vehicle drove off like an off-string arrow, speeding away on the road. Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked in the direction where Jared had left and muttered to herself, “This kid is really good-looking.”

In Mrs. In Wallace Sr.’s eyes, none of the people she had ever seen today could measure up to Jared. That was probably why Nicole liked him. Nicole had a sharp ear and had heard what Mrs. Wallace Sr. muttered.

For a moment, she did not know whether to cry or laugh. Mrs. Wallace Sr. ignored her expression. As Nicole helped her go inside, she casually asked Nicole without looking at her, “What is your relationship with the young man who sent us back?”

Nicole looked at Mrs. Wallace Sr., who narrowed her eyes, and said with a straight face,” Friends.”

‘Friend? The boy, who eagerly took us touring the campus, is just a senior of hers, while this guy is a friend-he probably has a special position in Nicole’s heart.’ Mrs. Wallace Sr. was delighted, and already had a plan in mind.

Nicole was her precious granddaughter, and if she had to pick one guy among Nicole’s suitors, Mrs. Wallace Sr. would not hesitate to choose Jared.

Mrs. Wallace Sr. knew nothing about cars or fragrance, but just judging by the way Jared spoke, and his attitude toward Nicole, she knew he was a trustworthy one.

With this in mind, she nodded with satisfaction.

She did not expect to get such a surprise on this trip. Looking at the door of the Riddle mansion, Mrs. Wallace Sr. suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Meanwhile, as Jared was on his way back from the Riddle mansion, he received a call from Max.

“Everything went smoothly.” Max looked at Solomon, who was tied in front of him. Solomon had obviously not yet awakened from the effects of the drug, and from time to time, he made a pig-like hum.

 

Chapter 379

Jared heard the voice over there and frowned in disgust, then whispered to Max, “Follow the protocol and deal with it, but don’t get your hands dirty.”

Max said “yes” , and then with a gentle wave of his hand, two men came up from behind him, carried Solomon like garbage, and threw him into the cold detention room. He then turned his head and looked at the person behind him, his frosty face looking inexplicably intimidating.

“He behaved indecently in public, abused psychedelic drugs, and even assaulted a bar girl. Inspector Pearce, how would you handle this case?”

Inspector Pearce quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead. He looked at the imposing young man and knew that the young man was someone whom he could not afford to mess with.

Looking at Solomon, who was constantly writhing like a bug in the detention room, Inspector Pearce’s face appeared grave.

‘How dare this Solomon do whatever he pleases in his territory!’ he said in his mind.

He would not have cared had Solomon kept things in the private lounge, but he took the woman outside and the surveillance had captured his act of pursuing excitement and even assault in its entirety. Misuse of psychedelics was a serious offense in San Joto. No way Solomon was not aware of it.

Thinking of this, Inspector Pearce’s face sank Instead of beating around the bush, he spoke directly to Max.

“Investigation is being carried out in full swing, and we will certainly give you all an answer. Solomon’s blood test is already underway, and we will soon know what he has done to himself. Another thing, we want to find how you found what happened and made the report.”

Max nodded. He passed a glance over, and a woman came out.

There were bruises on her face and body. It looked like she had been badly abused, with her beautiful face completely unrecognizable now.

Inspector Pearce had handled many cases, but he still could not help but gasp in shock at seeing the woman’s condition.

‘Solomon is really a scumbag!’ he said in his mind.

Max saw the surprised expression on Inspector Pearce’s face and said, “We were in the private lounge next door when we heard a woman calling for help. So we opened the door to see what was going on, and the rest was history.”

Inspector Pearce nodded in acknowledgment. Although not in the way he had imagined, their affidavit was noticeably more accidental and truer, and his apprehension about this case lessened. He now found Solomon really disgusting.

A medic hurried over and nodded to Inspector Pearce with a serious face.

No wonder Solomon got so high for so long; he had taken none other than the most common aphrodisiac sold in the black market. Commonly known as philter, it was added to whiskey to increase its efficacy and could make people delirious.

Inspector Pearce’s eyes turned cold as he looked at Solomon in the detention room.

“Wake him up!” The detestation in his voice was apparent. Max walked out of the cold detention center, followed by several people and a docile-looking woman.

As the intense sunlight beat down on his body, he looked back at her in appreciation.

“You’re doing a good job.” The woman smiled and had a kind of abused beauty in her with those bruises on her face.

Max did not miss a hint of exhaustion hidden in her eyes. He waved his hand, and soon someone behind him handed a few thin pieces of paper into the woman’s hand. She took it, and soon her eyes widened.

It turned out to be her termination letter with the clubhouse.

She was just an ordinary waitress in that clubhouse at first, but later, because of her good looks, she was tricked into the trade by the manager, and signed a contract with astronomical liquidated damages for breach of contract. If she worked for less than ten years, she could never pay off that money.

At first, she had agreed to the deal because she hated Solomon, not expecting that they would do her such a big favor.

Chapter 380

The woman raised her head, her young face written with vicissitudes of life. She looked at Max with a complicated look in her eyes.

“Thank you,” she said in a soft voice.

Max waved his hand, signaled that she did not have to thank him.

“You know what to say when you give your statement to the police, don’t you?” He still looked expressionless.

Of course, the woman knew what he meant. Max had done her such a huge favor, and Solomon was a scum; thinking of this, she nodded her head with no hesitation.

These people were the one who pulled her out of the mire.

Max said no more. He turned and left with his men.

When they met last night, he had already made it clear to this woman. Jared had never made any mistakes with the person he chose to deal with.

Thinking of this, Max had a faint look of admiration in his eyes.

His boss had almost predicted what was going to happen; Solomon would go to the clubhouse today, look for this woman, and get drunk So he instructed them to negotiate with this girl in advance, teaching her step by step how to lure the scum into the trap, and then he would be done for.

Moreover, it was Inspector Pearce who was chosen. He was well-known for his effort in rescuing women in trouble.

It was said that Inspector Pearce had once rescued abducted women in Yomming State.

During the operation, many of his teammates were injured, and the women trafficker killed his only daughter in retaliation.

It was not hard to imagine what would be the fate if Solomon fell into his hands.

Max still remembered his boss’s grim face, which looked so cold and unfathomable. He casually made a telephone call and smiled when he heard the guy at the other end whine.

“I saw people I shouldn’t have seen in Club Studio.”

Claus was complaining that he did not take him on a mission. And when he heard that, he couldn’t care less about anything but said a few words to Claus.

“I’ll go over,” Claus said.

He jumped into his sports car and sped toward the clubhouse where Solomon was. When he arrived, he walked to the reception counter and took out a card expressionlessly.

“I want to know all the customer information here in two hours.” The reception guy looked at the card in his hand, and nodded respectfully, then turned on the computer with trembling hands.

The hands of those who were working in this line would never shiver unless they really could not help it. Claus looked at the reception guy and was pleased. He enjoyed the pleasure of having someone serving him.

After he casually looked around for a while, the reception guy walked over with a tablet.

“M-Mr. Graham, the customer details are in here. Take your time and call me if you need anything again.”

There was a hint of fear in his voice.

Claus took the tablet, ignoring the reception guy, and slowly and leisurely browsed through the list. He cocked an eyebrow when he saw those familiar names, but things had nothing to do with him, so he did not want to be nosy. He kept scrolling down the list with his callous finger and finally stopped at 14:20 pm.

Michael’s name appeared a few minutes before Solomon’s record. Claus raised his eyebrows with interest. He returned the tablet to the reception guy and thanked him politely. The reception guy shivered and then forced a smile that looked uglier than crying.

“It’s my job,” he said.

Claus ignored him, returned to his car, and replied to Max’s message.
