Ch. 456..460: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 456-460

Chapter 456

Shawn’s patience had run out. He stood up to look at Nicole, who had been keeping silent all along, with a slight impatience on his face.

He was just about to open his mouth when the door behind him slammed open, and Nicole soon heard the shrill of a woman.

“What makes you so long?”

Lyana strode in. Those bodyguards in front looked back at her in unison, startling her for a moment. Shawn squinted when he saw her.

She quickly calmed down and recognized that those people were from the Rogers family. Lyana glanced at them and then swaggered up to Shawn and looked at this brother-in-law of hers with disdain.

“Do you need to bring so many men just to deal with one girl?” she asked coldly.

Not sparing a second glance at Shawn, she picked up a bradawl the thickness of an index finger and sneered at Nicole, who was keeping her head low.

“Has she told you where the diamond is?” A look of disdain flashed in Shawn’s eyes, but he still replied, “Not yet.” Lyana looked at him disapprovingly. “What the hell are you doing here? I sent you to interrogate her, and you were sitting here waiting? Torture her and wake her up if she remains tight- lipped.” She walked toward Nicole with the bradawl, the smile on her face changing from graceful to sinister.

“I’ll see how stubborn you can still get when I cut your face and smash your hands so that you won’t be able to seduce my man and steal things again.”

Then she walked around Nicole and was about to wield the bradawl at Nicole’s hand, which was tied behind the chair.

Shawn watched Lyana’s action but did not stop her. Just a second before Lyana could hurt Nicole, a loud noise suddenly came behind her. As if something had blown up, the powerful explosion almost shattered the eardrums of the black clad bodyguards at the scene. They all covered their ears in pain. Lyana was so frightened that her hand trembled while Shawn frowned and looked back. Nicole, who had been sitting quietly, saw the opportunity. She took action while they were distracted.

Nicole broke free from the handcuffs, gently threw her hair away, and picked up the sharp blade that had fallen out with one hand.

The blade, made of an unknown material, was glinting with silverish flashes. With just a flick of her hand, the blade cut the rope that was made of a special material in half, and they

dropped to the floor at once. Now that Nicole had broken free, she turned around and grabbed Lyana’s wrist. Lyana, who grew up like a spoiled child, was no match for Nicole’s strength. She screamed in pain, and the bradawl dropped from her hand. Nicole caught the bradawl mid-air and pointed it at Lyana’s temple.

She looked coldly at the men from the Rogers family and said, “Don’t you all move.”

The table had been turned. Shawn looked at what had happened and was exasperated. He knew that nothing good would happen when Lyana came.

He motioned for everyone behind him to put their weapons down. Nicole cocked an eyebrow, and Shawn shot a glare at her, slowly pulled out a pistol from his waist, and laid it on the floor while his eyes were on Nicole.

Nicole looked at Shawn and did not believe him. So she still stood where she was, motionless.

Her hand was steady, and the bradawl poking at Lyana’s temple did not move an inch. Lyana was frightened that she pleaded incessantly, saying that she would repay her kindness, hoping that Nicole would let her go.

Shawn looked grave, as he knew the explosion was not an accident. Their location had most likely been exposed.

Thinking of this, he suddenly made up his mind and beckoned his men behind him to fall back

 

Chapter 457

“Let go of Lyana.” Shawn looked at Nicole and said coldly, “I lost this round. You let her go, I promise not to harm you, and you can just leave.”

Nicole looked at the eagerness in his eyes, in contrast to the pretense of composure on his face, and sneered.

“Oh, really?” She looked at the man who was coming from the other side with his back to the light. He was quick, almost completely losing the usual calm composure, but also seemed to be completely welcome in her eyes. “But you’re too late.” Meanwhile, Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Mr. Rogers Sr. They were flattered at first when they were invited to the Rogers Mansion, but when he excused himself for the third time and was refused, everyone realized that something was wrong.

“Are we invited to be guests here? This is obviously a trap!’

Mr. Riddle Sr.’s face changed subtly, and he said again, “I think we have been bothering you for long enough and need to make a move, Christo.”

He got up and wanted to leave, but Mr. Rogers Sr. did not look at him but took a sip of tea. “Sit back down, Benjamin,” Mr. Rogers Sr. said flatly.

Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at him with a somewhat grave face. “What do you mean by that?” Daniel and Gloria looked to Mr. Rogers Sr.; they might not know what was going on, but it was clear that something was not quite normal. Damien and Miley were sitting alongside. Miley was unaware of what was happening. Instead, she was delighted to be invited to the Rogers Mansion again and echoed Mr. Rogers Sr.’s words.

“Yeah, Dad. Why don’t you stay a little longer?” Damien shot a glare at his wife. He felt unease at seeing Mr. Rogers Sr.’s half-smile. At first, he was still thinking of getting in good with Mr. Rogers Sr., but now

that thought had vanished. He was now sitting there fidgeting with fear in his eyes.

‘What’s happening exactly? Did we offend Mr. Rogers Sr. or something? Why does he want us to be subject to this torment in silence?’

Dexter looked on and took a deep breath, then looked at Emma, who sat quietly beside him. Emma returned a reassuring look.

“Don’t worry. Fortunately, the kids are still at school, and nothing has happened,” she said. Dexter sighed softly upon hearing what Emma said. ‘Yeah, that’s the only thing to be thankful for.’

Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Mr. Rogers Sr., got up, and walked toward the door, not heeding Mr.

Rogers Sr.’s warning. But soon, he found himself surrounded by bodyguards. Mr. Rogers Sr. then blew away the floating tea leaves in the teacup and slowly said, “Sit down, Benjamin. I’m not going to say it for the third time.”

God knows how many times he was more anxious than Mr. Riddle Sr. He still heard no news from his youngest son and the progress they were making.

 

Chapter 458

But the Riddle family basically had Mr. Riddle Sr. As capable as Nicole was, he would never escape his grasp

Thinking of this, Mr. Rogers Sr. breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back haughtily in his chair, and sneered at Mr. Riddle Sr, who was still standing there.

“Aren’t you conceding?” he asked.

Daniel and Gloria had also stood up and walked up to Mr. Riddle Sr.’s side to stand with him.

Meanwhile, the look in Damien’s and Dexter’s eyes showed they were struggling internally.

Mr. Rogers Sr. looked pleased with seeing the dilemmatic look of those people in front of him. “What are you all going to do? Standing here in protest?”

No way he would let them out of the manor before he had achieved his goal.

Miley also seemed to have been aware of some sort of anomaly. She looked at Mr. Rogers Sr. with a hint of fear in her eyes.

“Uncle Rogers, what do you mean by not allowing us to leave?”

Mr. Rogers Sr. guffawed and turned to look at Miley with contempt.

“You don’t deserve to call me your uncle,” he said.

Miley’s face turned pale instantly, her lips trembling. She could not accept that her self esteem was trampled upon. Damien saw her expression and stood up angrily. “What do you mean?”

Dexter walked slowly to Mr. Riddle Sr. with his wife to stand together with the others and looked at Mr. Rogers Sr., who had turned from a gentleman to a nasty, bossy man. Mr. Rogers Sr. kept a straight face as he methodically took a sip of tea and then forced the cup down on the table.

“What do I mean? You all are to stay and die if necessary. That’s what I mean. It’s your honor to die for me.”

Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Mr. Rogers Sr., who was now showing his true colors. There was some emotion trembling in his eyes, which were filled with disbelief.

“H-How can you do this?” he asked.

Mr. Rogers Sr. looked at him with a sneer. “You’d better come back and sit down so we can still pretend to be friends and brothers. Don’t say that I didn’t warn you.”

As he finished speaking, his bodyguards immediately drew their weapons and looked menacingly at the Riddles.

Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at the vicious-looking Mr. Rogers Sr. and spelled out his words. “What goes around comes around. Aren’t you afraid of karma?”

Mr. Rogers Sr. burst into laughter as if he had heard some ridiculous joke. “I’m curious to know who in San Joto can hand down karma on me. Oh, Benjamin, you’re still as naïve as ever. No wonder the Riddle family has slumped so much now. It’s all because of your stupidity.” Mr. Riddle Sr. looked nonchalant despite the insult. He looked silently at the triumphant Mr. Rogers Sr. and shook his head slowly.

Mr. Rogers Sr. thought that Mr. Riddle Sr. was afraid, and he said arrogantly, “Even God can’t save you all today. Benjamin, just admit your fate.”

With that, he sneered and ordered all of them to be locked up.

“Really?”

 

Chapter 459

As the bell-like voice sounded, the door to the Rogers Mansion vestibule slammed open. Everyone was drawn to the sound, and all of them looked out in unison. Mr. Rogers Sr. also looked out the door with anger, wanting to know who was so daring to defy his order and storm into the house.

His face changed abruptly upon seeing who the person was.

“Maximillian?”

‘Isn’t the old man in a gray-blue business suit with a thick eyebrow Maximillian, the patriarch of the Johnston family? What is he doing here?’ Mr. Rogers Sr. looked abruptly over at Mr. Riddle Sr in disbelief. He glanced up and down at Mr. Riddle Sr. several times before he could barely withdraw his gaze.

‘Is he coming for the Riddles? Impossible. The Johnstons have always thought they are above everyone else. Even if Maximilian and Benjamin had a close relationship with each other before, the Johnston family isn’t what it used to be; it is impossible for them to come here for the sake of the family. He must be here for something else.’

He forced himself to calm down. Just when he was to say hello, Mr. Johnston Sr. preempted Mr. Rogers Sr.’s response by looking at him with an expression as if he were looking at a greedy hyena. “What did you just say? Even God can’t save the Riddle family from you?” Mr. Johnston Sr. gently gestured to Karlo, who was beside him, and Karlo whistled aloud.

Soon, two rows of well-built men entered the vestibule, each looking ferocious. The bodyguards of the Rogers family almost went weak at the knees to see this.

Mr. Johnston Sr. put his hands behind his back and looked coldly at Mr. Rogers Sr.

“Since God won’t do, what about me? Am I qualified enough to take the Riddles away?”

Mr. Rogers Sr. was flustered, as he did not expect Mr. Johnston Sr. would come for the Riddles. Looking at the team of men that surrounded his house, he knew that this was not an empty threat, as Mr. Johnston Sr. never did things by verbal threats but with his fists. The Riddle family did not expect things would take such a dramatic shift. He looked at Mr. Johnston Sr. with his mouth agape. ‘I can’t believe that it’s the Johnston family!’

He had thought he would be done for here today, not expecting there was still a way out, and Mr. Johnston Sr. would come here and even say that he would take him away.

Damien and Dexter exchanged a glance. Both of whom had heard about Mr. Johnston Sr. They knew that the Johnston and the Riddle families once had some connection, but after the Johnston family rose to become the top dog in San Joto, the interaction between the Riddle and the Johnston families had basically stopped. So they had never seen Mr. Johnston Sr. in person. But since Mr. Rogers Sr. had just called out his name, everyone surely knew who was here to save them.

Just that the Johnstons had become the most powerful family and had nothing to do with the Riddle family except for the engagement contract that could never be materialized. ‘So why would Mr. Johnston Sr. want to come to help us?’ Everyone looked at Mr. Johnston Sr. with a mixture of gratitude and a faint sense of puzzlement.

Mr. Rogers Sr. was sweating profusely and was so frightened that he was out of his senses. He even nearly stumbled upon hearing that Mr. Johnston Sr. had come to the Riddle family’s rescue

He could not believe that the Riddle family still had such a good relationship with Mr. Johnston Sr. that he wanted to come for them. He suddenly slapped a bodyguard beside him with the back of his hand. “What’s the matter with you? Ask your men to step aside now!”

 

Chapter 460

The poor bodyguard did not know why he was hit, but he quickly reacted and ordered those men in black surrounding the Riddle family to step aside.

Mr.Rogers Sr.looked flatteringly at Mr.Johnston Sr.and asked in a pleading voice, "Would you calm down now? Of course, you can take them away, and I won't stop them from going."

The Rogers family had always survived by attaching themselves to the Johnston family.

But after his ignorant third brother offended one of the Johnston family members, his father expelled him from the family.

Now, it seemed that he was going to follow in the footsteps of his third brother.Mr.Johnston Sr.looked at Mr.Rogers Sr., hissed and ignored him, then went straight to Mr.Riddle Sr.

"Are you all hurt?"

He had a kind look on his face as if afraid that he would scare them.

Mr.Riddle Sr.was flattered and shook his head hastily.

Mr.Johnston Sr.walked up to him with a gentle face.Glad to know you're all okay.Let's go.I'll send you back and leave someone to protect you."

The Riddle family, even Mr.Rogers Sr., was shocked upon hearing that.

‘What is the relationship between the Riddle and the Johnston families that Mr.Johnston Sr.would say such a thing? It isn't what I've heard.I thought they only had casual ties between them? But it seems not t o be the case by the looks of things.He will even leave behind his men to protect them; isn't that mean placing them in his own sphere of influence? Not even the Rogers family can get this privilege"

Mr.Rogers Sr.opened his mouth with a resentful look in his eyes, but he said nothing at last.

He watched with animosity as Mr.Johnston Sr.and Mr.Riddle Sr.walked out with a smile on their faces.

"Is Maximillian thinking of ruining my chances of surviving?"

Just as he was cursing Mr.Johnston Sr.viciously in his mind, an extremely tall figure overshadowed him.He looked up and saw Karlo's frosty face.

"Mr.Johnston Sr.has mercy on you and simply asks m e to teach you a lesson."

Karlo made his move, punching every single bodyguard of Mr.Rogers Sr.to the ground, and then came in front of Mr.Rogers Sr.with his hand extended.

"Choose how you want to be taught," he said.

Meanwhile, Sebastian was in a meeting when his phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID on the phone screen, he frowned, hung up the phone silently, and put it back in his bag.

But the phone kept ringing five to six times.

Sebastian thought it must be something urgent and finally picked it up.He heard a woman cry over the phone, so loud that it nearly broke his eardrum.

"Please come and take a look, Sebastian! These guys are bullying Solomon! Don't you care about Solomon the most? You have to help him.Those people are ruthless!"
