Ch. 441..445: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 441-445

Chapter 441

"Snow?"

Snow fought back her emotions and quickly answered, "I'm here."

Harvey's steady voice came from the other side as if h e was not the one who had said those callous things previously.

"Would you like to go to a party with me?"

Snow nodded frantically at the other end of the phone, so excited that words choked in her throat.

Harvey seemed to have guessed her reaction by hearing the sound wave in the air on the other side; h e knew Snow was nodding her head.

There was no smile on his face, but his voice sounded as if he was smiling.

"I'll pick you up then."

At last, Snow uttered a word.

"Okay."

She still wanted to say something, but he had already hung up the phone.

There was no hint of anger on Snow's face.

Instead, she stood up by the table in ecstasy, ran to the closet, and took out all her beautiful clothes.

She wanted to dress up and make everyone think that she and Harvey had a good relationship, unlike what people said on the forum that they were not talking to each other, that they had broken off, that

Harvey had dumped her, and all that.

The noises on the campus forum were too loud that Snow did not dare to visit now.

She simply could not accept the gossip on the campus forum.

She did not think for a second how strong Nicole mentally was when she manipulated everyone in the school to smear Nicole.

Harvey hung up and gently played with his phone as h e looked at the two invitation cards in front of him indifferently.He motioned for the meeting to carry on with a faint sense of absentmindedness on his face.

This was the advantage of holding the highest position in the company.

Those people have been sitting there doing nothing for so long, yet no one dared to utter a word of displeasure.

He sat in the highest position, looking down at the different expressions of the people in front of him with a smile on his face.

Listening to the reports from his subordinates, he found that all the reports were talking about the declining market trend and that Johnston Group had n o ability to grab market share because of the lack of competitiveness.

"Should we adjust our marketing strategy or focus our strategic vision on the southern coast? After all, Johnston Group has a solid foundation there."

A manager cautiously proposed.

Harvey shifted his attention to San Joto as soon as he took office.

But this business strategy and his means were not consistent, and it was too difficult to get good results.

Harvey looked at the manager and nodded approvingly.

"What you said makes sense."

The manager was overjoyed.

Just as he was about to thank Harvey for his approval, he heard Harvey say, "Why don't you leave the headquarters and go to the southern coast?"

There was still a smile on Harvey's face, and he looked extremely gentle.

Yet his words sound like a sharp knife, silently hanging above everyone's heads, and it could fall at any moment.

The manager immediately shut up and went aside in fright.

Harvey tapped the report on the table and looked around before speaking.

"Focus on the mechanical production line.Don't be greedy to venture into the field that we are not good at."

Chapter 442

He looked at the other products in front of him that sold relatively well.

Even the mechanical production line that Johnston Group was most proud of had been dragged down.

Harvey's expression remained unchanged.

Since he had the courage to turn back the focus of the Johnston Group, he was not worried about the obstacles he was about to face.

Students had dispersed when they returned to the highschool of the Royal Creek Institute.

Nicole was walking slowly toward the door while Lulu was jumping up and down and talking to her, and Bradley occasionally bickered with her.

Coming to the gate of the Royal Creek Institute, Nicole checked her watch and then turned to walk toward the café.

"Are you two going with me?"

Lulu shook her head.

The monthly exam was the day after tomorrow, and she had not done her revision yet.

Bradley scratched his head when seeing that Lulu was not going.

"I'm going back to the dormitory.So both of us are together."

Nicole glanced at the two of them and said nothing but just nodded her head gently.She walked toward the café with a thoughtful look on her face.

The phone in her pocket vibrated.

Nicole took it out; it was a message from Preston, which said that he had identified a key target and also asked her how she was doing in the exam.

Nicole quickly replied to the message, asking him to keep an eye on the target, as she expected there would be another attack soon.

They did not have to interrupt it because she would be on the trail to find the target's location.

About the exam, Nicole replied, [It's okay.] She then put her phone in her bag and stepped into the café.

Claus was making coffee inside.

When he saw Nicole come in, he quickly stopped what he was doing and greeted her.

Nicole ignored him and went straight to sit down at a table.

Claus quickly came over and asked her in a curious tone of voice, "How is your exam?"

"It's alright."

Nicole glanced at him casually, with no expression on his face.

'Why did everyone come and ask her this question?"

She subconsciously looked past Claus but did not see anyone else.She hesitated for a second before pulling back her gaze.

Claus's keen eye quickly captured her reaction and knew who she was looking for.

He thoughtfully said, "Jared is on the phone upstairs and will come down quickly."

After saying that, he flirtingly touched Nicole's hair and said equivocally, "Don't worry."

Nicole shot Claus a glance and had no words.

After getting acquainted with her, Claus was getting bolder and bolder.She wondered what made him think she was worried.She ignored Claus, looked down at the textbook in her hand, and casually flipped through it, looking relaxed.

‘She really doesn't seem to be worried"

Claus touched his nose and felt that he had made a blunder.

Just as he was about to say something, Jared's voice came from behind him.

"You're here!"

Seeing Nicole's eyes lit up instantly, Claus shook his head helplessly and got back to his work.He felt like h e was just embarrassing himself.

Nicole looked at Jared, who was walking toward her with a faint smile on his handsome face.

Her expression softened down without her knowing a s Jared sat down across from her.

He looked at the opened book in front of her and raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Are you doing revision here?"

Nicole put the book away expressionlessly and then gazed at his good-looking face with a meaningful look on her face.

Jared also looked at her, but she said nothing.So he walked over to the bar counter.

"What drink would you like?"

"Is Rowan working for you?"

 

Chapter 443

The two asked in unison.

Jared did not look back as he walked toward the bar counter.

There was no change in his facial expression, even when he heard her ask the question.He knew Nicole was too smart to hide it from her.

Nicole watched as Jared turned around, his eyes brighter than the starlight but deeper than the darkness of night.

He nodded his head in confirmation and then asked calmly, "Now it's time for you to answer my question.

Jared looked at Nicole, raised an eyebrow, and asked with a smile, "What would you like to drink?"

Nicole looked at his face, and her suspicion went away.

Since he was so honest, she figured she did not have to pursue the question further, as Zeke's presence must have exposed her identity.

Nicole sat there, tapped the table lightly with her hand, and then replied faintly, "Caramel macchiato."

She felt cheated.

'I thought he was just the owner of JJ Johnston Group? Now it seems he has a finger in Rowan's lab"

Jared looked at her expression and was amused, as he knew what she was thinking.

He quickly poured the caramel into the coffee, brought it to Nicole, and looked at her.

"That's just an investment for JJ Johnston."

He funded their research, and they handed over the results of their experiments to him.

Nicole glanced at him, took a sip of the coffee, and gave a compliment.

"It's delicious." She sipped the coffee slowly.

As if thinking of something, she glanced at Jared again.

"Rowan is not the kind of person who will work for money. How on earth did you persuade him?"

Jared sat across from her and looked at her calm face with a playful smile but said nothing.

So Nicole did not pursue the question further.

Jared looked at her.

It was hard to see any kind of melancholic expression on her face but more of indifference.

‘She is beautiful"

"How's your grandmother doing? I was in a hurry to g o back the other day and didn't manage to spend more time with her."

He did not expect Nicole to stare at him for a long time after hearing what he said, as if he was some rare creature.He could see the suspicion in her eyes.

She asked sincerely and bluntly, "My grandma likes you a lot.How did you do that?"

Nicole remembered that since she was a child, her grandmother had been smiling at everyone, but that did not mean that she liked them.

So Mrs.Wallace Sr’s high opinion of Jared had surprised Nicole.

Jared looked at her with his eyes upturned as if he was very proud of it.

"It's a secret," he said.

Nicole's hand holding the coffee cup froze for a second.

She looked at the man expressionlessly, who seemed to be very happy.

Seeing his eyes squint after he had teased her successfully, a faint smile spread across her face.She could not help it but would have to bear with it.

After all, her grandmother had taken a liking to him.

"I haven't seen Max for a while.Where is he?" Nicole asked in a low voice.

Jared looked at her and smiled.

''He's been busy lately.

"Oh."

Nicole did not ask further, and she did not know that Max was helping her tie up any loose ends.

 

Chapter 444

At this moment, Max was looking at the somewhat dark room in front of him and frowned in displeasure.

He hated such a dirty environment and those inferior t o the most inferior bugs.He glanced with disgust at Solomon and then quickly walked outside, asking Officer Freeman as he went, "Will he be convicted?"

Officer Freeman was just as disgusted as Max was.

He handed Max the arrest warrant issued by the court and said, "He will be convicted, but he seems to have people with some background behind him.I'm afraid that he will find a good lawyer to help him get away with it."

Max heard this and sneered, but he said nothing.

The two walked together to the door of the police station when they heard noises of someone shouting outside.

"My son is not guilty! You better hurry up and release him.Don't say I didn't warn you.Mr.Wyance is my brother-in-law! Let Solomon go, and I will give you a clean death!"

Max heard the voice and frowned.He turned to look a t Officer Freeman and asked in a whisper what was going on.

Officer Freeman spread his hands helplessly.

"Like I said, Solomon's mother is a relative of Mr.Wyance, who had a close relationship with the powers that be.She has been making a scene here every day, and we can do nothing about her."

Max nodded thoughtfully upon hearing what the officer said.

As he continued to walk forward, he saw a beautiful woman in the front hall.

She looked full of pride and got more and more brazen-faced as no one wanted to be seen bullying a woman.

Marie froze when she got a call from the police this morning.

Just yesterday, she was still praising his son in front of Sebastian, talking about how promising her son was and how eager his son wanted to become a person like Mr.Wyance.

The call that she received this morning was a bombshell.She rushed over before she could talk to Mr.Wyance.

All she could think of was to get her son out lest he would suffer in the police cell.

Her brother-in-law had always liked Solomon, so she thought he would not abandon Solomon.

Thinking of this, Marie got even more confident.

She looked at the officers with a limited-edition Louis Vuitton handbag she had just bought in her hand.

"I'm going to go in and take my son out now.Stop me if you dare!" she said.

She walked inside with her head held high.

Instead of her son committing a crime, it looked more like she was here to collect rent from her tenant.She swaggered in with her nose pointing skyward.

Marie knew very well that as long as she dropped Mr.Wyance's name, almost no one in San Joto could defy her.She had done this countless times, and it worked every time.So she thought this time was no

exception.

"Solomon! Solomon! Where are you? I'm coming to get you out!" she shouted while striding in with great pride, Many people were angry at her behavior but dared not say a word.

No one knew if what she said was true.

They did not want to take the risk of offending her only to find that she was really a family member of Mr.Wyance.

Solomon was in a cell not far away.

He was sitting on the floor, holding his head with both hands, banging his head against the wall, his clothes tattered from his own doing.

When he heard his mother's call, he quickly got to his feet, anxiously grabbing the cell bars that locked him in, and called out toward his mother's voice, "Mom! I'm here! Help me!"

Marie heard her son's hoarse voice and cried out in pain.

"Stop calling, Solomon.I will come to you right away."

She glared at the few police officers guarding the cells.You all are abusing innocent people.I'm going t o sue you all!"

With that, she ran toward where her son's voice came from without hesitation.

"Solomon, I'm here!"

Solomon slammed the iron railing desperately, his body stained with blood, scratches, and bite marks.

Marie saw that and was distressed.

 

Chapter 445

‘Suing them would be too merciful to them.I'm going to grind their bones to dust to make them get a taste o f what they have done to my son!'

Actually, Marie did not know that no one had abused Solomon.He hurt his own voice chord, and the bruises and cuts on his body were his own doing.

Officer Freeman might hate him, but he gave Solomon three meals a day.

Otherwise, her son would not have found the strength to bang his head against the wall.

But she did not care about all that; she just felt sorry t o see her son's condition and glared at the police officers who came after her.

"I will call Mr.Wyance now and ask him to find the best lawyer in San Joto for my son.All of you aren't going to get away from this," she said sinisterly.

Solomon's expression turned heinous upon hearing what his mother said.He stared at the police officers, thinking he had found help.

"How many times have I told you not to touch me, but you all wouldn't listen? You all will soon find out who you are messing with!"

By this time, Max had lost his patience and called Jared.

Nicole watched Jared get up, take another call, and a playful smile creep across his face.

"I'll talk to Sebastian personally and ask him to check out this good boy for himself."

Nicole took a sip of coffee with a straight face.She could accept sweeter beverages recently.

Noticing Nicole's gaze, Jared said, "There are too many rotten apples in his house.He will thank me for helping him clean up."

Then he hung up the phone.

As Nicole put down her coffee cup and got up as if she was leaving, he cocked a n eyebrow.

"Are you leaving?" Nicole nodded.

She had agreed with Gloria that she would go back to the Riddle Mansion today and stay there for a day.

As Mr.Riddle Sr.had not fully recovered, she needed to observe him for a while.

Jared grabbed the car key from the table and looked at Nicole with his head tilted.He said nothing.

Claus watched playfully and bitterly as the two sat in the black vehicle.

Nicole was in the front passenger seat and fastening her seat belt.

As she looked back and saw Jared extend his hand, she shot hima sideways glance.

"What are you doing?" Jared did not expect her to do that so quickly.

But he was not embarrassed, just smiled at her.

"It was a step too slow," he said.

Nicole looked into his eyes and smiled.

Jared saw Nicole's response, and his eyes became gentle.

The black vehicle started to move, and it felt indescribably stable at high speed as if a roaring beast properly protected its beloved beauty.

Soon they arrived at the Riddle Mansion.

Nicole stepped out of the vehicle, looked back at Jared, and thanked him before closing the door.

Her face looked obviously stony, but Jared could feel a hint of gentleness in her.

He rolled down the window and looked at Nicole with a smile.

"Nicole, all the best with your exam."

Nicole did not expect him to remember that she was going to take an exam.She looked at him with surprise and then nodded.

"Thank you."
