Ch. 51..55: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 51-55

Chapter 51

Ashley’s expression was in vain. Just by Nicole’s push, she already felt that her spine was smashed into pieces. But the terrifying thing for her was Nicole’s eyes when she stared at her.

It was like Nicole would kill her if she tried to continue fighting! “P*ss off!” Nicole wiped her hands and threw the tissue paper into the trashcan. The girls who got beaten up did not dare to go against Nicole, so they immediately ran over to help Ashley up. “We’ll… leave now.” The girls looked at Nicole with fear and horror.

They were always the bully, so they had never thought that there would be a day when they would show someone such a fearful expression. The girls helped Ashley up and stuck their backs against the wall as they shifted out of Class B. Before they left, Ashley worked up her courage and said something harsh, “Nicole… This isn’t over yet! When Harvey comes back and hears about what you did to Snow, he won’t ever let you slide. Just wait and see!” After she was done speaking, she immediately ran away with her friends. Nicole did not care about their threats at all. She just dusted off the dirt on her table and took out the medical book. She then sat down and continued reading.

The students all returned to their seats with frightened hearts. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Even the ferocious Ashley lost to Nicole. ‘We have been talking smack about Nicole for the past few days… Would we be beaten up as well?’

The students in the class were all worried for themselves, so the class got as silent as the grave.

Jack saw their stunned expression and scoffed lightly.

They had never seen how heroic Nicole looked when she beat up over ten people, and they were already frightened of her now. Nicole only used one hand to tackle those girls; it was nothing! However,

they had all asked for it. Jack suddenly froze when he thought about this. What has gotten into him? Why was he defending Nicole?

He then looked in Nicole’s direction with a complicated heart. He had always looked down on the people from the countryside, but Nicole was really different from them. Though she was cold, she did not seem like a difficult person to be around with. He even saw how nice she was to Lulu and Bradley, and she was extremely skilled. Even Gary was not really her opponent, and her studies were not as bad as he thought it was.

Besides, Jack looked at Nicole, who was resting her chin on her hand as she read. She was in a simple white T-shirt, and her black hair was making her radiant, fair face stand out even more. Her slightly upturned fox eyes were slightly squinted. The sunlight shone on her through the window, melting away the cold aura around her, making her look extremely laid back as if she was a painting. He could not help but be wowed once more as Nicole was really beautiful.

Though her features were similar to Snow and Raine, her features were a lot sharper than theirs. Her face was smaller, her eyelashes were perkier, and her nose was sharper. She looked pretty from every angle, and her figure was out of the world. If he had to rate her on a scale of 1 to 10, she would definitely be a solid 10.

A person like her was completely different from a person from the countryside. Jack stared at Nicole, and Gary suddenly kicked his chair from behind. Gary did not hold back his strength, so Jack almost fell from that kick He turned back to look at Gary, who looked back at him expressionlessly. Jack immediately backed down. “What’s up, Gary?”

Gary responded nonchalantly, “Nothing much. My leg just got itchy.” Wayne laughed out loud next to them. Jack knew that Gary was upset with him, but he knew that he did not do anything that would make Gary upset these days, so why did Gary act up all of a sudden? Wayne gloated next to them and

said, “From the way I see it, it’s probably because you didn’t let Gary beat Cain up last time. Nicole was the one who took the spotlight in the end, so Gary is still holding a grudge against you.”

 

 

Chapter 52

Seeing Gary stare over, Wayne stopped talking. Jack looked at the two people in puzzlement. Just then, the school bell rang, and Ms. Emerson walked in to get ready for class. Jack scratched his head and opened the textbook, but his eyes involuntarily drifted toward Nicole.

‘She has a wasp waist.’

BANG!

“What are you doing, Gary?” The entire class looked back and saw that Jack had fallen to the ground along with his chair. He was rubbing his butt indecently, looking confusedly at Gary.

Gary, on the other hand, slowly pulled back his leg and looked at Ms. Emerson with a rectitude. Hearing Jack’s question, he said faintly, “Oh, my foot slipped this time.” Ms. Emerson looked suspiciously at the two from the podium. She then asked Jack to put the chair back up before continuing the lesson. This time, Jack had learned his lesson; he stopped looking at Nicole but stared at the hem of Ms. Emerson’s skirt and did not get kicked again. After class, Wayne laughed at him for gawking at Ms. Emerson. Jack looked at him austerely.“ You know nothing.”

He must not stare at Nicole; otherwise, he would be kicked. So he thought he might just as well focus on Ms. Emerson. The longer he stared at her, the more peaceful he felt. After school, Nicole slowly packed up her stuff. Lulu thought Nicole was going back to her dorm and wanted to go with her, but Nicole was going to the café.

There were too many eyes in the dormitory. She had better sit at the café and work on her mission from there.

Since that was the case, Lulu said nothing further.

Nicole was walking alone on the street and noticed that there were always some annoying, contemptuous stares from others. Nicole raised an eyebrow, knowing that it was because of Snow. So she did not bother to respond to them. Arriving at the café, Nicole said hello to the staff and sat down at her usual spot. It was her professional habit to find the safest spot wherever she went. The corner was well lit but not directly facing the window. There was also a thick partition separating her table from the adjacent ones, but this did not affect her line of sight to observe her surroundings. Besides, not far behind her, there was an escape route through which she could get away in case anything went wrong. Nicole sat down and took out her computer, which she had put in the bag this morning.

People from all walks of life were going online, doing their stuff at the café. So it was an ideal place for hackers to perform their online activities.

Nicole first logged in to her account. Specter was not online, so she left him a message, telling him she was safe before going offline. She then logged in to her new account, ready to check the progress of the $10-million mission that she had accepted.

All hackers on The Hunters had heard about Lucifer. This was a nasty job, which she believed she was the only person who was willing to take. If the other party wanted to dig further, he or she would definitely pay attention to her backup &ccount.

But five minutes later, Nicole was still staring at an empty chat box. She frowned. The person on the other side seemed more cunning and cautious than she thought.

Nicole could not help but wonder if she had made a mistake somewhere and spooked them.

Max was in a meeting at Johnson Group when he heard a notification on his mobile phone. The system automatically displayed an IP address, which was the location of Lucifer, who was daring enough to use a proxy account to accept jobs.

Chapter 54

Jared thought for a moment and then turned the computer around toward him. But after checking everyone’s computer, he found nothing suspicious.

‘Lucifer is really not among these people. So, where will she be? The coordinates can’t possibly be wrong.’

“Check the surveillance camera and find out those who have come to the café and used a computer today.” Jared clenched his fists, hating himself for coming too late. He was only one step from catching the elusive Lucifer.

“You got it, Mr. Johnston.” The waiter quickly used his in-ear device to radio others, and everyone got busy.

At this time, Nicole was already on her way back to the dormitory. Since she did not get any reply, the other side must have suspected her. So she quickly deleted the proxy account and left the café at once.

Since she left the Riddle family, she had been suspecting that the other side was going to pull the same trick to find her coordinates.

So she added a new program to the second firewall of her computer to slow down the other party from tracing her coordinates. That meant, even if the other party had found her coordinates, by the time they arrived, she would have been long gone. It was virtually impossible to catch her by just tracing her coordinates. Soon Nicole was back in the dorm. Lulu was working on the exam paper Nicole had given her yesterday.

June was not there. When Nicole came back, Lulu said to her frustratedly, “Good to see you back, Nicole. Can you teach me how to solve this equation? Every time I felt like I was about to solve it, it came out not quite right. I was about to go crazy.”

Seeing her frustration, Nicole raised an eyebrow and took over the test paper. This equation was tricky. Lulu could not solve it because she did not understand the question. Nicole pointed out the problem to her concisely. Lulu had a lightbulb moment and quickly took out a paper and started calculating. She got the answer in just a few minutes. She looked at Nicole adoringly.

“Nicole, you are awesome.” Nicole said nothing but just gave her a low-key look. Lulu collapsed on the bed, laughing. After spending time with Nicole, Lulu found Nicole was really a wonderful person. She might look distant but was much better than many two-faced people.

She looked up at Nicole and said, “I am sure you would never bully Snow. Someone must have made a mistake.”

Nicole looked at Lulu with surprise. After all, all the voices online were denouncing her. She did not expect Lulu to be willing to believe her, and that was heart-warming.

“Thank you,” she said with a faint smile. Although she did not care about people smearing her, she would not refuse Lulu’s kindness.

Lulu felt moved somehow when Nicole thanked her. She clenched her fist and said, “Don’t mention it. We are all friends, and friends trust each other. With your defensive skills, Snow should have been lying in the hospital should you have bullied her. In short, I will find a way to prove your innocence.”

With that, she turned on the computer, logged in to the forum, and prepared to tear apart the lies smearing Nicole. Nicole could not help but laugh at seeing her scrappy look. Just as she was just about to decline Lulu’s kindness, the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated. Her expression turned somber. She took out her mobile phone and looked at it, it was an anonymous message.

How can you take a call from Carl? I can’t believe you are just as senseless as him. I now suspect that you have been tracked down. I will take Carl to a safe place. We should keep our contact to the

minimum for the time being.

 

Chapter 55

Nicole could imagine the angry face of Zane Spears on the other side of the monitor screen. She felt sorry. She was too anxious and should not have answered the phone. But she really just wanted to make sure Carl was safe and did not think much about it that time. Thinking of this, Nicole sighed softly, with a rare sense of helplessness on her face. The phone in her hand rang again. This time, the screen showed it was a call from Samuel.

Nicole did not expect Samuel to call. She pressed the answer button, put the phone to her ear, and Samuel’s energetic voice on the other end of the phone came to ear. “Do you have time, Nicole? Spencer and I will come to pick you up and go out to dinner together.”

Nicole did not have classes in the afternoon, and she did not plan to go to the evening self study class either. So, after thinking about it, she replied, “I am free afterward. Wait for me at the school gate. I will go out to meet you guys now.”

Spencer and Samuel had many fans. It would be troublesome for them to pick her up from her dormitory.

After hanging up, Nicole got changed, gave Lulu a heads-up, and left.

Lulu was still busy online and just waved her hand to acknowledge Nicole when she heard Nicole’s voice.

Nicole glanced at the computer in front of her and saw dense, glaring red fonts on the screen.“ Wrap it up and get some rest. I will bring you food when I am back.”

“Okay.” Lulu did not even look up.

Nicole went downstairs. There was nothing much she could do. In fact, she could not care less about what people said about her online. Otherwise, she would have hacked into the school’s online forum

and erased everything on it. It was just that she did not bother to do that.

At the school gate, Nicole could see from afar Samuel waving at her. Judging by the shape of his mouth, he must be calling her to go over quickly. Meanwhile, Spencer was standing some distance from Samuel, looking at him with disgust.

Nicole smiled. It was only after she got closer that she found Norah also came along, looking at her with displeasure.

Norah had moved to the campus for two days and had little time with her brothers. That was the reason she asked Samuel and Spencer out. She did not expect them to call Nicole.

She was exasperated at seeing her two brothers grin ear-to-ear when Nicole came out.

Nicole could not help but snicker when she saw the look on Norah’s face.

She as well came beside Samuel and made a cordial smile at him deliberately.

“Where are we going, Samuel?” Her smile was so sweet that it stunned Samuel.

“Where-where are we going?” Samuel looked blankly at Spencer, his mind seemingly out of whack.

“Didn’t you just say you were going to ask Nicole where she wanted to go? Why look at me?” Spencer had a bewildered look on his face.

Now, Norah became even more jealous

“Samuel, Spencer, I want to eat pasta,”

“I want to eat grilled fish. I wonder if there is any restaurant selling grilled fish nearby.” Nicole interrupted before Norah could finish her sentence.

“There is none near the school, but I know there is one that sells delicious grilled fish somewhere else. Let’s take a taxi there,” Samuel immediately said.

Samuel had always been very good to her. Norah did not expect that he would ignore her.She could only pretend to be aggrieved.

“Nicole has just come to the school. She should be given priority.”

“Yeah, Norah is so sensible.” Samuel simpered. Norah’s smile froze. She wanted Samuel and Spencer’s attention and for them to change her mind. These stupid brothers of hers were echoing what she said.

Spencer knew Norah was upset, and he said, “We will have pasta next time.”

“Okay, then.” Norah bit her lip and could only bear with it. They took a taxi. It would be too crowded if all of them got into the backseat. So Norah wanted to sit in the front passenger seat. She went ahead wanting to take the seat, but Samuel was even quicker than she was and had opened the front passenger car door.

“Nicole, you first.” Norah stood in place, unsure of what to do. She had never imagined that the last person in the family who was good to her had now only Nicole in the eyes. He no longer had her at heart.

“Thank you, Samuel.” Nicole had noticed Norah’s expression but could not care less. She got into the front passenger seat at once. Only then the two brothers then got into the back seat.

Norah looked at the little space left in the back seat, her face looking indignant.

“What is wrong, Norah? Get in the car. I am starving,” Samuel urged anxiously.

At this point, Norah’s last bit of affection for Samuel was gone. Samuel was good to her, but his brain was of no use to her. She bit her lip and could only squeeze herself into the back seat. It was so cramped at the back that she almost could not close the car door.

After barely closing the car door, they set off for San Joto’s most famous grilled fish restaurant.

The restaurant was packed with customers. They could not enter without a reservation. Spencer took out his phone and made a call, and then they were ushered into a VIP elevator to go upstairs.

They were seated at the VIP table, with Nicole sitting by the window and looking out at half of San Joto’s cityscape. She had just wanted to eat a simple grilled fish, not expecting Spencer and Samuel to bring her to such a luxurious restaurant.

Norah was equally surprised, not expecting Spencer and Samuel to bring Nicole to such an expensive place.

The two guys had limited pocket money every month, so when Samuel invited her to dinner last time, they mostly dined in the not-so-expensive place. Norah was really jealous this time because they were splashing out on Nicole. After sitting down, Norah could not help but say, “Samuel, Spencer, are you two having a lot of pocket money this month? Nicole just wants to eat grilled fish. Is it really okay to come to such an expensive restaurant?”
