Ch. 451..455: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 451-455

Chapter 451

Zeke was on a killing spree playing Imperial Palace on an international server when he suddenly heard a very harsh siren blaring on his computer.He almost jumped up in fright but quickly calmed down, looking at the blood-red notification of the system.

It looked like the computer connected to his was attacked, but the attack seemed to come from Nicole.

‘It's Nicole's old and broken computer that is connected to mine.So how could it be possible that the attack comes from her?! Zeke's head was full of a hundred different things, and then, as if something dawned on him, his pupils contracted.He immediately called Nicole on the phone, and sure enough, her phone was off.

‘Nicole triggered the emergency alarm system, probably asking for help.But what could I do to help her?! Zeke ran around like a headless chicken and finally rushed out to the living room as if he had thought of something.

"Come on, Dad, Nicole is in danger!"

Raine was confused.She went upstairs and was confounded to see the entire process of a group of men dressed in black come and go.She walked to the room where her sister had stayed for the past few days and heard her calling her mother.

When the two finished talking on the phone, Raine looked at Snow with puzzlement.

"What did you and Mom talk about?" Raine asked.

Snow glanced at her confused look and smiled.

"Nothing.I have just found someone who hates Nicole as much as we do and asks her to help us fix Nicole," she said as if pacifying a child.

"But I didn't ask her to kill Nicole.After all, Nicole is still our family member by name."

Speaking of which, a cold light flashed in Snow's eyes.

‘Torture her until she goes insane so that she will ben o longer as glib as she used to be; break her hands and feet, so she can no longer sneak around; mutilate her face so that she can't continue to seduce men.

All these should not be excessive, I guess.' Seeing Raine's hesitation, a cold light flashed in Snow's eyes.

"Think about it, Raine; what does Nicole's existence bring you?" she said patiently.

Raine thought about Gary's indifferent attitude since Nicole returned, her loss of her title as the most popular girl in school, her ban from the café because o f Nicole, and finally, her terrible performance in the Math Olympiad competition today.

She gritted her teeth and said in a hateful voice, "There was nothing going well since she came."

Snow looked at Raine and patted her on the head gently.

"Think again; what did Grandpa say to the two of us the other day?"

Thinking of this, Snow's face gradually turned livid, her hand holding Raine's hair tightening so much that it hurt Raine.

Snow smiled subconsciously and maintained a gentle and gracious tone of voice, but her words reeked of apparent resentment.

"He wanted to drive the two of us out of school because of Nicole! How can I live without Harvey? Neither can you live without Gary, right?"

 

Chapter 452

It hurt so much that Raine was almost tearful.

She quickly grabbed her sister's hand and echoed it, saying, "Yes, I can't live without Gary, either.I can't live without him."

Only then did Snow realize she had grabbed Raine's hair too hard and quickly let go.

"I'm sorry, Raine.I was too emotional.Are you hurt?" she said softly.

Raine dared not tell her she was in pain.She looked at Snow and started to find her strange, even though they grew up together and were very close.She had fear in her eyes when she looked at Snow.

"So, what have you done to Nicole?" Raine asked.

Snow gently covered her mouth and snickered as if thinking of something happy.

"What have I done to her? What can I do to her? At best, she will feel a bit of pain and learn a lesson."

Snow became impatient at this point, but she did not forget to tell her sister one last thing.

"We know nothing about what happened after Nicole went upstairs.Did we hear me? When Grandpa and Uncle Daniel come home and ask about Nicole, remember not to say anything." Raine nodded hurriedly.

She held her sister's emaciated fingers and said with determination, "Don't you believe me? I hate Nicole as much as you do.How could I possibly slip up?"

Snow was pleased and smiled.

She then patted Raine's hand and said with a meaningful tone of voice, "Yeah, you and I are in the same boat.You won't slip up, right?"

Raine nodded, looked at her sister, and swore.

"Don't worry.I won't do anything stupid."

The black vehicle with the unknown emblem was speeding down the road, heading toward San Joto city center.

Jared's face turned unusually cold as he looked at the increasingly familiar scenery outside.

In front of a beautiful building with carved beams and an antique gate stood two doormen dressed in blue classical costumes.

When they saw Jared's car arrive, they hurriedly came out to receive him respectfully.

Jared did not follow them.

Instead, after he got out of the car and walked into the house, he went along a windy hallway toward the innermost room.

Servants who saw him along the way all greeted him with respect.

Jared ignored them.

When he came in front of the room and without him knocking on the door, a voice came from inside.

"Come in."

He pushed open the door and continued to walk in.

The room was brightly lit with sunlight shining on a tall man who was in his senior age.

The man slowly turned around and looked at the handsome man who had just entered and had his own mind.

"I thought you wouldn't come home at all," the man said with an extremely frosty tone of voice.

Jared looked at the man, whose sideburns had turned gray, but his falcon-like eyes still commanded respect.

He gently pulled up a gentle smile.

"I haven't seen you in a long time, Grandpa.You look as strong as ever."

Maximillian Johnston knew Jared had seen through his intention to intimidate him, but because of ego, he still snorted coldly and knocked the crutch in his hand.

"Stop the crap.Tell me; what did you really think when you returned without telling me, and upon returning, you didn't come home? Do you still treat m e as your grandpa?"

Chapter 453

It had been over a month since he received the news that Jared had returned to San Joto, yet this unfilial grandson had not even come to see him.

Jared knew very well what his grandfather was angry about. He casually took a few steps forward to come in front of his grandfather, looked at the crutch in his hand, and raised an eyebrow.

“I didn’t know that you had started using crutches.” Mr. Johnston Sr. used to be a soldier and had always been tough. Jared had never gotten word that his grandfather’s health had declined, even to the point of having to walk on crutches.

Hearing Jared’s evasive reply, Mr. Johnston Sr.’s face turned grave. He wielded the crutch in his hand, wanting to spank Jared. When Jared did not dodge, he reduced the force of his hand and shifted the direction of his crutch to avoid hitting his waist. So Jared was unharmed.

Jared seemed to have expected what would happen. He looked at Mr. Johnston Sr. as usual and answered his last question.

“It was boring abroad. I came back to help you.” He looked at Mr. Johnston Sr.’s startled expression and then continued. “You will allow me, will you?”

Mr. Johnston Sr. did not expect Jared to say such a thing.

“You help me?” He repeated Jared’s words with a look of surprise on his face.

As Jared nodded, Mr. Johnston Sr.’s expression immediately eased up. He coughed softly and studied Jared. “Just tell me; you have a favor to ask from me, don’t you? Whatever I can give you, I will give you.”

He knew Jared would not have come back to help him had he not had something to ask from him.

Jared shook his head and glanced at his grandfather, then walked aside to pick up the still steaming cup of tea and took a sip.

His grandfather did not say it out but was still very happy to hear the news that he had come to see him. Otherwise, his grandfather would not have prepared two teacups filled with freshly brewed tea.

A smile spread across Jared’s face, and he looked back at his grandfather.

“I don’t need any help from you; you just need to enjoy your tea and take a good rest,” he said faintly, which meant he would handle and clean up all threats for his grandfather.

Mr. Johnston Sr. looked at him and felt pleased. But he still could not help asking, “Is there really nothing you need help with?”

The more Jared said he did not need his grandfather’s help, the more his grandfather felt he needed to compensate his grandson for something.

Mr. Johnston Sr. really thought he owed it to Jared, who had given up his freedom and future

abroad and returned to this old mansion of his for an old man like him. He could not help but pity this grandson of his. Jared seemed to have seen through Mr. Johnston Sr. He rubbed the cup made of porcelain in his hand with part of his face in the sunlight, making his skin look even fairer. “I just hope that you can accept someone,” he said faintly. Just as Mr. Johnston Sr. wanted to ask something, Jared’s phone suddenly rang. Jared stood up and made an apologetic gesture to Mr. Johnston Sr., then walked aside to answer the call.

Mr. Johnston Sr. looked at Jared with a startled expression and started to recall what Jared had just said. He seemed to have overheard the voice on the other side of the phone.

Could it be Before Mr. Johnston Sr. could figure things out, Jared had hung up the phone and walked over to him, and looked at his grandfather with a frosty face. And there was no longer a hint of ridicule in his voice but a swift wind and rain. “Now, I really need your help with something.” His voice no longer sounded nonchalant but urgent.

Chapter 454

Shawn took off the black blindfold on Nicole and watched her eyelashes tremble gently. She had not woken up because of the effect of the drug. Her snow-like face made her an indescribably fragile beauty. He could not control himself, wanting to touch her eyelashes gently. But just a second before his hand reached her eyelashes, Nicole suddenly opened her eyes, which stared at him emotionlessly. Shawn took several steps back as if he had been startled.

There was no expression on her face. Nicole eased her wrists tied behind her. Feeling her blood circulation blocked, she looked down at herself and found herself tied to a chair, across from which many pairs of eyes of men in black were staring at her. Those black outfits were exclusive to the Rogers family’s bodyguards. There was a hint of disgust on Nicole’s face at the thought of this.

This place seemed to be a secret factory in which a small number of white particles were suspended in the air. The place was not too terrible, and the lighting was good.

Nicole deftly looked around at her surroundings before shifting her attention back to Shawn. She said nothing, just sat there quietly, as if she were not abducted. Shawn was speechless as he was being looked at by Nicole’s pair of clear, lustrous, upturned eyes. He somehow felt that he had seen her before. He remembered her file, which clearly stated that her hometown was Great Oak, so he wondered if he had seen her there.

The two had faced each other silently for a long while before Shawn snapped back, and the polite smile returned on his face.

“I’m going to cut to the chase; I think you should know why my father gives you so much attention. He has a viral infection of polio, and the pain from the cerebral cortex keeps him in extreme rage and may even threaten his life.” Shawn paused for a while as if he was observing her expression. “The disease has been tormenting for nearly a year. He is almost desperate when, after a year of searching, he still

could not find a doctor who could cure him. But it was you, on his sixtieth birthday, who brought him a glimmer of hope.”

He frowned as he looked at Nicole’s unchanged face and continued.

“You have to know how terrible a man who was fighting for his life could do. For my father, it is likely that the lives of all of you in the Riddle family aren’t as good as the white pills you gave him. So I warn you to think clearly about what to say and how to do it.”

Nicole looked at Shawn, her gaze shallow, almost glassy, which sparkled and looked beautiful in the light.

But she said nothing.

Shawn looked at her nonreaction, and an irrepressible impatience rose within him. “I know very well that the medicine cannot be your own. Tell me honestly who gave it to you, whether it was from someone in your organization, and I will let you go.”

He said he would let Nicole go, but he did not mention what would happen to the other members of the Riddle family.

There was a faint look of a sneer in Nicole’s eyes as she scorned his inducing confession method.

Chapter 455

While she was already an expert playing with this trick, Shawn was probably still a rookie.

She was still looking at Shawn without saying a word, seemingly hesitating. Shawn looked at her expression, thinking she had started to give in, and hastened to continue. “My dad didn’t tell me what kind of organization you’re working for, but I knew very well the organization must be a behemoth. If you tell me which one of them is the doctor who gave you the medicine, I promise not to harm you. How about that?” Nicole looked at Shawn with a faint look of internal struggle in her eyes.

Shawn was overjoyed, but he did not show it on his face. He continued to ask, “Well, as long as you tell me, all the punishments that my father asked me to prepare will not fall on you, and I can guarantee that you will go unharmed.” Nicole didn’t expect that just taking a few A-grade pills from the medicine box freshly out of the research would land her in a fine mess with the Rogers guy. She had no expensive things with her at that time, and if she sent some random things over, it would only embarrass Zane. Just that she did not expect such a casual decision would cause her such big trouble and even put her family in danger.

Thinking of this, a tinge of frosty look appeared in Nicole’s eyes. But her face still looked as if she had been persuaded by Shawn, hesitating to say something. Shawn saw he had achieved his purpose and was in no rush to force her to speak. He sat down in the comfort of the chair and quietly waited for her to end her internal struggle.

He thought he was at the pinnacle of his interrogation skills, and now Mr. Rogers Sr. had almost entrusted this kind of job to him.

Not only that, Nicole had just inhaled a high dose of psychedelic drugs, and for a moment, she would still be groggy. He thought if he wanted to extract any information from her now, it would be a piece of cake.

‘I really didn’t want things to get to this point, but things had dragged on long enough. Even if I could get the information of the doctor’s whereabouts and get my hands on the wonder drug now, Grandpa would not necessarily survive.’

The corners of his lips curled up in a subtle smile at the thought of this. Nicole looked at Shawn’s expression. The acting that he thought was perfect was full of loopholes was not the slightest possibility that he was believable.

‘I know Mr. Rogers Sr.’s condition very well, and I have given him the drug. As long as he takes it on time and in the right amount, it would at least make a big difference. But now, judging by how desperate he is, he must be worried that I would harm him and so have halved the dosage of the drug and not finished it within a week, as prescribed until now. It is he who forces himself into a dead end. Now he has the nerve to send Shawn to abduct and force me to divulge the source of the drug. He is unbelievably stupid.’

Nicole gently closed her eyes and silently counted the time in her mind.

Five minutes had passed, and Shawn frowned. He looked at Nicole, who was keeping her head down, and remained silent and controlled himself. But he instructed his men to take a step forward, quietly picking up the torture devices. He did not like to see blood, and his favorite thing was to create psychological pressure. Ten minutes had passed, and Nicole still said nothing but sat in the chair in the same posture. Her long hair was slightly disheveled, and she stayed motionless.
