Ch. 526..530: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 526-530
Chapter 526
Jared did not hide anything as he simply just said.
"I could tell that you're someone from Interpol with that skill of yours, but I never thought that you were S."
When Nicole heard what he said, she smiled a little.This was the first time she met someone with such observation skills.
"You should join the Interpol as well." She said seriously.
"If it's you, you might very well be someone more powerful than I am."
Jared did not say anything but Claus, at the front, raised his eyebrows and said, "Boss, where should we do that? He is..."
The remainder of his words were snuffed out by Jared's gaze.
Nicole looked thoughtfully at Jared.She did not pursue the matter as she gently leaned against the car window and closed her eyes slightly.
From Jared's angle, she was like a serene beauty in a portrait.Her beautiful eyes closed and her face serene, as if she was a sleeping princess that walked straight out of the Victorian era.
He motioned for Claus to keep quiet with his eyes as the high- performance car sped along the highway.It was going extremely fast, yet there was no noise at all.
Soon, they arrived at the Royal Creek Institute.
Nicole opened her eyes, waking up as if she was not sleepy at all.
She looked at Jared to her side, and sensing her gaze, he looked over, his eyes gleaming.
"You're awake."
Nicole nodded as she slowly got down from the car.As she looked at the café before her, she felt somewhat relaxed.It was like a safe harbor that could give her peace of mind.
The brightly lit café had a radiant warmth to it.
Nicole sat by the side of the bar counter as she watched Jared's gentle movements while he was making coffee.
The coldness around her seemingly thawed away as she gently held her chin with her hand, tapping the fingers of her left hand on the marble countertop.
With the piano music playing slowly in the hall, the world seemingly allocated this moment just for her and the handsome man before her.
When Jared turned around, he saw Nicole staring at him in a daze, as if she was a person who was in a deep dream and did not want to wake up.
Jared placed the Bourbon Santos by her side as he looked at her eyes and said, "Give it a taste."
Only then did Nicole wake up as she looked at Jared and smiled.
"Alright."
As she sipped the coffee, the bitterness turned into sweetness, as if she was savoring something.It was rare that Nicole did not comment on the taste.She just drank the coffee silently as a thin fog gathered around her eyes.
When Jared saw her like this, he whispered.
"Is it good?"
Nicole looked at the man before her through the stern of the coffee and nodded.
"Yes, it is, and so are you." Jared's eyes immediately lit up.
As he watched Nicole put down the coffee cup, something in her eyes seemingly thawed amidst the warmth, revealing a clear affection.
She looked up and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips.
He smelled good.
Jared's eyes dimmed as he clasped the back of the girl's head and instinctively deepened the kiss.
The meeting of the lips was the finality of their tacit understanding.
By the time the kiss ended, Nicole's eyes were somewhat moist, and when Jared looked at the beautiful girl before him, he wanted to kiss her again after a short pause.
Chapter 527
Yet, Nicole gently placed her index finger between their lips as she looked at the man before her and smiled.
"Know your limits."
Jared raised his eyebrows a little as he slowly moved closer to her.His eyes had a seductive charm to in, as if he was silently trying to bewitch the girl before her, to give her a second kiss.
Nicole accepted his temptation and did not reject him.
But at this moment "What are the two of you doing, Nicole?”
When Nicole heard the voice, a look of disbelief appeared in her eyes.She immediately looked back, and when she saw the blond man standing at the door, her eyes widened in surprise.
"Carl!”
‘He actually found this place?!' Carl looked at Nicole not too far ahead of him as something flashed in his eyes.
He raised his eyebrow as he opened up his arms as usual.
"Oh honey, I missed you! Come give me a hug!"
Nicole looked at him, and the smile on her face faded somewhat.She stood up and took a step back, quickly taking an offensive stance.She squinted as she looked at Carl rushing toward her like a chicken and narrowed her eyes a little.
"Stop that, Carl, or I'll make sure this will be an eventful bout."
When Carl heard that and looked at her stance, he put down his arms, and he continued to walk toward her as he frowned and said, "Oh, baby.I never thought you would treat me like this after seeing each other again after that disaster.I'm heartbroken."
As he said that, he still walked over, wanting to give Nicole a hug, but someone unhurriedly stopped him in his tracks.
"Even if you are her friend, please know your limits."
When Carl heard that, he squinted a little as he looked at the handsome man.He was being extremely intimate with Nicole earlier and had totally crossed the line just now.
When he heard that authoritative words, a hostile look appeared in Carl's eyes.
Jared stood before Nicole; his height was almost the same as Carl's.
The two faced off with one another, and for a moment, they looked like they were evenly matched.
Being blocked like that and recalling how the two were kissing earlier, Carl immediately lashed a fist out at Jared.
"Don't stop me from seeing Nicole!"
Carl had a clear grasp of his strength.He had thought that this seemingly weak- looking man would be sent tumbling by his fist.
It was enough to not hurt the person yet humiliate him at the same time, to let Nicole see what kind of a weakling she had chosen.
Yet, Jared did not dodge as he grabbed the fist.
His expression did not change either, as he said impassively.
"How ill-mannered, hmm?"
Carl used all of his strength and found himself unable to pull his hand out of the man's grasp.He looked at the man in shock.He totally did not expect the latter to have such strength.He even had a thought of admiration in his mind.
A Hustuaburgian was inherently weaker, yet this man could suppress him so easily! It was as if he was not human.
‘As expected of Nicole's partner, he is not a normal person either"
Chapter 528
Seeing the latter's smile, Carl regretted his bullheadedness as a confused look appeared in his turquoise eyes.
‘Who can tell me what I should do after I failed in a provocation.Need a reply, ASAP."
When Nicole saw the scene before her, a smile appeared on her face.She gently patted Jared on the shoulder and whispered.
"It's okay."
Jared could tell that she wanted to help Carl out of this predicament, so he nodded toward the latter and calmly said.
"Good strength.Do work on it more."
He then casually let go of Carl's fist and even handed him a coffee.
"Enjoy."
Nicole looked at Carl's befuddled face, a rare silly look appearing on his handsome and charming face.She smiled as she sat beside Carl and asked.
"Why did you come looking for me? Don't we still have a few days before the rendezvous date?"
Only then did Carl look at Nicole.His pupils shrank as he finally eased up after taking a sip.He seemingly thought of something as his eyes looking at Nicole suddenly became serious.
So much so that his entire temperament changed a little.
"Nicole, I'm here to pick you up."
His tone was solemn, and Nicole's eyes immediately took a sharper glint.
"It has started again?" Carl nodded.
His usually passionate face had lost its usual playfulness and had become extremely cold.
"We need you.Now."
Seeing him like this, Nicole gently tapped her finger on the table as she slowly said.
"Give me a bit more time.It won't take too long."
Carl looked at her and nodded slightly, guilt and hesitation seeping through his eyes.
"I actually did not want to involve you in this.Nicole, your life should be like this, calm and peaceful, without any disturbance by me..."
He did not continue on as Nicole was looking at him with determination in her eyes.
"Don't say that.We are in this together, no?"
"You are my best partner, ever."
Carl looked at her calm and relaxed eyes as he softly let out a breath.
A smile finally appeared on his face again.
"I know you will help me because you are Nicole."
Only Heavens knew how anxious and despairing he was when he faced that mess.
Nicole was younger than him, yet no matter what, he would feel at ease whenever she was around.
Just as if he knew that come what may, Nicole would stand by his side and help him take care of everything.
Thinking of this, Carl stretched his fist out, his turquoise eyes staring unblinkingly at Nicole.
The latter raised her eyebrows and gently bumped his fist.
The two then looked at each other as they chuckled.
Great Oak-- Harvey looked at the already dark sky as the smile on his face disappeared, leaving only a faint coldness in its place.
Chapter 529
The run-down sanatorium in front was a wreck.
The whole building was dark due to curtailment.It was very creepy.
However, Lloyd did not hesitate.He asked softly without turning his head, "Which room?"
"Top floor.Room 312," Harvey said apathetically.His voice was unspeakably cold.
They walked up the stairs slowly.
Lloyd stood in front of an old paint-peeling-off door.He frowned his brows slightly as he said, "How could you let him live in such a place?"
Harvey sneered as he turned back to look at Lloyd.His eyes were glowing with malevolence.
"He wanted me dead.It was merciful of me not killing him."
‘I don't like Lloyd's compassionate behavior.It's next -level arrogant.Others might not notice it, but I can see it.He's being so unreasonable and acting like he's above all," Harvey thought.
‘But I'm still not sure how he got to know Nicole.He even knows about her S identity?’ Lloyd sighed softly.
He knew Harvey was telling the truth.He did not have any excuse to justify the person inside the room.
"Open the door," he said gently.
A hint of mockery flashed past Harvey's eyes.He was playing around with the key that was in his hand.He did not open the door right away.
Instead, he turned around casually to look at Lloyd.
"How did you meet Nicole?" Harvey asked casually.
Lloyd did not turn his head.He moved his fingers slightly as he said calmly, 'She treated me."
A hint of nostalgia flashed upon his eyes as he thought about his dark days.
‘Nicole was the brightest light in my dark days' Harvey stared at the man standing next to him.
'When I was young, Lloyd was the person that I aspired to become.I didn't expect that the only thing we have in common now is that both of us like Nicole."
"Why are you waiting for her constantly?"
A hint of disappointment flashed upon Lloyd's eyes.He heard what Harvey asked.
'Nicole's gorgeous.But she didn't make a promise for me when she was standing next to Jared quietly" he sighed softly.
"I don't need to report to you."
His voice was elegant but cold.He looked at Harvey calmly as he smiled coldly.He then opened the door in front of him casually.
“Let's go in."
He had nothing else to talk about with Harvey.
Lloyd stared at the dense darkness in front of him as he walked in.
Harvey went in after him.
A pop sound was heard.
The incandescent lamp above them lit up.
The light was harsh and spooky.
Lloyd gazed at the skinny man on the bed who almost had no human form.He then turned around and looked at Harvey disagreeably.
"How did he become like this?"
The man who did not react when the lamp was lit up moved when he heard Lloyd's voice.He raised his head.He coughed a few times without restraint because of his drastic movement.
"Hank? "
Harvey tilted his head.
A curtain of fog can be seen on his face.He casually allowed Lloyd to look at the man himself.
Lloyd stared at the man in front of him, who was suffering hair loss.
‘'If I'm not mistaken, this man should be around 50 years old this year.He was once a strong middle- aged man.He's been locked up in here for over 10 years.He looks like he's almost lifeless."
The man in front of Lloyd stared wide-eyed at him.
‘The young man standing in front of me is rather introverted.
His eyebrows are soft.He has an aura of calm, unlike Harvey.It's like he'll never lose control.
"while Harvey is so temperamental.The two of them are worlds apart"
After he recognized Lloyd, the light in his muddy eyes glowed for a moment.
There was blood under the skin of his eyelids.He did not want to keep Lloyd long.
He gazed at him as he licked his gums and said, "Come to me, Hank."
Chapter 530
‘‘Hank and Harvey were only ten years old when they were following me. I can't believe they're all grown men now" the man thought.
‘Hope he can be dealt with easily, just like when he was a kid"
Lloyd looked at the man in front of him as he walked slowly toward him unexpectedly.
Harvey stood behind Lloyd.He did not move a muscle.
A suggestion of a cold smile can be seen in his eyes.
‘Lloyd didn't understand suffering.It's time for him to taste pain a little"
Lloyd approached Cyrus Federick.He stared at the man who traumatized and shamed him countlessly.
A cold glint flashed past his eyes.
"Yes?! Cyrus was stunned for a moment.'I can't believe he actually came forward to me"
Cyrus was pleasantly surprised.
Can't believe he's still so gullible.Just like when he was a kid! He extended his fingers without fingernails as he thought about that.His hand was trembling as he extended his hand toward Llyod's inscrutable face.
It was almost like Cyrus wanted to feel and confirm something.
Lloyd avoided that gently.
He did not allow Cyrus to touch him with his fingers.He frowned his eyebrows as he asked, "What happened to you? Why did you become like this?"
Cyrus kept his arm raised for a moment.He moved his eyeballs slightly as he whipped up some tears.
"Isn't it obvious? Harvey hates me so much to the point where he never stopped abusing me all these years..."
Cyrus expected Lloyd to give him a pitying look.
However, Lloyd did not show any sign of sympathy at all.
A hint of mockery flashed up his eyes as he stared at Cyrus coldly.
Cyrus was stunned.He stopped all his movements.He rubbed his eyes as he thought, ‘Did I see wrongly?"
‘Why didn't Hank show any facial expression of sympathy?"
He stared a Lloyd for a few more seconds.He realized that Lloyd's expression did not change.
'’I must've seen wrongly"
He then continued to say as he cried, "I knew I made a terrible mistake.I owed the loan shark too much money.I had no choice but to kidnap the two of you."
‘If I didn't think of a way to squeeze some cash out of the Ellison family, the loan shark would've killed me! ‘Those who worked for the loan shark were outlaws.They were murderous.I couldn't fight them.I can only do as they said"
At this point, his pent-up feelings that were caused by Harvey were released.
He burst into tears and kept whining.He looked at Lloyd as he sobbed.
Cyrus felt wronged.
"But your life was just fine throughout those years when the two of you were following me, wasn't it? I treated you as if you were my son."
For Cyrus's convenience, he named Lloyd Hank to pretend that Lloyd and Harvey were brothers.
Lloyd's facial expression remained unchanged as he recalled those memories.He gently nodded his head cooperatively.
It seemed like he was paying attention to Cyrus.
Cyrus felt that he made the right decision when he saw how Lloyd reacted.
‘After all these years, any deep-seated grudge would've probably been released.
Besides, Hank's too gullible.
With him here, even if Harvey wanted to kill me, Hank would protect me.
‘‘I don't want to die even after living on borrowed time for all these years"
