Ch. 531..535: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 531-535
Chapter 531
While Cyrus was thinking to himself, Lloyd, who was still standing next to him, spoke suddenly.
The color of his eyes was dark.
Indescribable terror could be felt as he looked down.
But at the same time, there was a delusion of him looking at Cyrus wholeheartedly.
Lloyd stared at the man in front of him.He asked Cyrus the question he was most interested in.
"Why did you want me to visit you? What do you want to tell me?" he asked in a clean tone.
Cyrus knew he could not make an omelet without breaking eggs.He stared at Lloyd, who seemed like he was evaluating his worth.He then gritted his teeth heartlessly as he looked at Harvey, whose face could not be seen clearly in the dark room.
"y-You can't listen to what I'm about to tell Hank.He will decide whether he wants to tell you."
Harvey raised his head and gazed at Cyrus, who seemed particularly presumptuous in front of Lloyd.He smiled instead of being angry.
"Sure."
Harvey left the room without dragging his feet.He even closed the old door.
Cyrus was stunned by Harvey's reaction.
‘All these years, what Harvey wanted to know was what I'm about to tell Hank.I was prepared for him to say no.I can't believe this went smoothly!'
'God's plan!" Cyrus waved at Lloyd gently after making sure Harvey could not hear him.He smiled as he said, ''Hank, I can't believe you're all grown up now."
Lloyd, who was also known as Hank, noticed that Cyrus was trying to be friendly.He then nodded his head as he lowered his eyes.
"Stop wasting my time, Cyrus."
Cyrus thought Lloyd was warning him that Harvey might come back anytime.He quickly said what Lloyd cared about most.
"Hank, you must promise me to bring me out of here if I tell you the secret.Save me from that torturous monster!"
Lloyd glanced at Cyrus ambiguously.He then nodded his head effortlessly.
"I promise." Cyrus did not doubt Lloyd.He breathed a sigh of relief.
‘Hank Ellison is an honorable man, just like his name.He never lied.'
Cyrus opened his filthy mouth after thinking that to himself.He slowly said out the secret that had been on his mind all these years.
"I didn't kill the girl." It seemed like Cyrus remembered something.His eyes glowed with a faint of terror.
It appeared that whatever happened at that time still terrified him.
"I was being hunted down back then.I didn't fire the gun.Yes, I did hold the gun to her head.I wanted to kill her to scare you and Harvey.But when I was about to fire the gun, a bullet hit my right hand from nowhere.I didn't fire the gun.Look at my hand if you don't believe me!"
He held out his hand as he said that.He showed Lloyd his bony right palm.
There was a deep bullet wound scar on it indeed.It seemed like an old scar.
The scar looked abnormally hideous, probably because it was not treated professionally.
Lloyd remained silent.His eyes twinkled with amusement as he looked at Cyrus attentively.
‘The girl who nearly saved us is still alive!' 'I guess most probably Harvey didn't expect this too.
The girl who I thought went all out to save us didn't die.She's still living somewhere in this world"
Cyrus was not sure if Lloyd believed him.
"After I was shot, my gun fell to the ground.My vision was blurry.I could only see a dark figure take the girl away.Not long after they left, I was tracked down by the men who were hunting me down.A gold- plated jade necklace was left at the scene!"
Chapter 532
"What happened to the necklace?"
Lloyd did not want to miss out on any clue regarding the girl.
The truth is, Lloyd remembered clearly what happened after that.He thought the girl was murdered by Cyrus on that day.
Not long after that, Lloyd and Harvey heard about the intense gunfight that happened on the hill.
Cyrus did not return after the gunfight.
There were only a few gangsters who were guarding the place when the police officers arrived.
Abducted kids were separated into a few rooms.
All of them were blindfolded, and their mouths were covered.
The kids were emaciated.
Numbness can be seen on their faces.
Harvey and Llyod remembered Cyrus's voice clearly even though he escaped without them.
There was no way they misidentified Cyrus.
Harvey captured Cyrus and imprisoned him here in the sanatorium for revenge.But most importantly, he wanted to know the girl's whereabouts from Cyrus.
However, Cyrus knew he could not tell Harvey what happened on the hill.Harvey was vengeful.He would have killed him if he knew the truth.
Moreover, he did not know where the girl went.
Cyrus raised his head.He grabbed Lloyd's shirt tightly as he stared at him.
Lloyd was calm.
Cyrus's bloodshot eyes were filled with pleas.
"The police took the necklace away.I honestly have no idea the girl's whereabouts.Hank, I've told you everything.Please get me out of here.I don't want to die yet.I want to live well!"
Cyrus would only be spared after Lloyd knew what actually happened.That was the reason why he must tell Lloyd.
Lloyd stared at Cyrus coldly.
'He was so strong in his eyes back then.But come to think of it now, he's just a weak man.He's a hypocritical, selfish, and cowardly loser"
He gave Cyrus a gentle smile.
"Do you know her name?"
For a moment, Cyrus almost thought Lloyd agreed.He quickly said out the name that had been waiting to be spitted out from his mouth.
"Nicole Wallace.I wouldn't forget.She was a gorgeous little girl.There was only an old lady that took care of her.The little girl's name's Nicole Wallace!" he said excitedly.
He was filled with joy when he said that.
That was his last stand.He then stared at Lloyd, eagerly waiting for him to save him from this dark prison.
Lloyd stood still.
A squeaking sound could be heard as Harvey opened the door.It was hard to tell if he was happy or angry.
But in Cyrus's eyes, Harvey looked as scary as a demon.
'I didn't know whe the kid that went all out to save us was" Harvey thought.
‘But when Cyrus said the kid's name's Nicole, I finally understood why I was so possessive when I first met her"
‘That was all because she was the girl that Lloyd and I were searching for all these years!’
'We agreed that whoever found her first will marry her and treat her well!’ ‘But I missed her because Cyrus refused to tell me what he knew"
Harvey raised his eyes to look at Cyrus.His eyes were filled with spooky dim light.
"Leave us." Lloyd did not speak.He merely glanced at Harvey.He then left the room without the slightest thought of saying good words for Cyrus.
Cyrus was stunned when he saw what had happened.His eyes were filled with disbelief instantly.
"Hank, you promised me! You promised me! How could you leave me with this monster?!"
Lloyd turned around to look at Harvey as he heard what Cyrus said.
Just when Cyrus thought Lloyd wanted to intercede for him, Lloyd said, “Not here.Take him out."
He turned back and gazed at Cyrus as he said coldly, ''I promised him."
'Yes.I promised to get him out of here.But I didn't agree to his second request!’
Chapter 533
Cyrus slumped into his bed.His body exudes some dying person's odor.It was like he understood something.He stared dead in Lloyd's direction.He did not look away even for a second.
'Why is he doing this to me?!' Harvey walked toward Cyrus slowly as he saw Lloyd leave the room.
He smiled gently as he said, "Whether you tell him or me, it's the same."
Cyrus heard his low voice.It appeared to be a different kind of cold.
"Don't forget that Lloyd and I were like brothers before we followed you.What makes you think that we're different?" Harvey said.
Harvey and Lloyd already made things clear before they met with Cyrus.
Their plan was for Lloyd to get Cyrus's trust first.Then made him spill out the secret.
As for what was going to happen next...
Harvey's face was expressionless.He stared at Cyrus, who was sent into panic as he walked closer.
There was a strange cold on his face.No one knew what was going to happen to Cyrus.
Harvey walked downstairs slowly.
Lloyd was giving a young nurse his signature at the front desk just when Harvey reached downstairs.
Lloyd was standing upright, looking like a pine that would never bend.
Harvey walked past him.
There was a smile on his face.He looked exceptionally handsome.
"Let's go," Harvey said.
She stared at Harvey and Lloyd as they walked away slowly with an intrigued look on her face.She came back to herself after a long pause.
"They're so handsome."
The indicator light in front of the door flicked a few times just when they reached the front of the sanatorium.The silence between them finally came to an end.
"What did he tell you?" Harvey asked slowly in the dark.
Lloyd repeated what Cyrus told him with an unchanged expression.
Harvey had a general idea when Cyrus was telling him about it.But his pupil shrank drastically when he heard the final name mentioned by Lloyd.It was dark at that time.
No one knew if Lloyd noticed Harvey's change.
Harvey got back to his normal state quickly.
There was still a smile on his face.He looked superficially gentle.
What he was going to say next was chilling.
"I'll deal with him." Lloyd nodded his head as he stared at Harvey.
The vibe between them was creepy.
As if there were a rapport and intention to kill existed side by side in the air.
"We shall never meet again."
He turned around and walked toward the black Maybach that was parked quietly at the side.His slender figure sat in the car quickly.He then started his car and sped away without looking back.
Lloyd was not obsessed with Nicole, unlike Harvey.He only wanted to know her whereabouts to make himself feel better, that was all.
Harvey stood still.He covered his face with his hand gently as he looked at the black car driving away.He had a theory back when Shawn was investigating Nicole's file.
‘Nicole's file had the Ellison family's handwriting.This meant that she must have been involved in the abduction back then.I guess Nicole didn't recognize that the two boys who nearly got her killed were us"
A soft laugh came out from his lips slowly.It sounded strangely sad.
‘Nicole and I weren't meant to be together.After all, she has Jared"
‘Lloyd doesn't deserve to be close to Nicole too"
'He still doesn't know that S is Nicole.Even if he knows about it in the future, he can do nothing...
'I met Nicole too late after all" Harvey smiled bitterly as he thought about that.
He turned around and got into his white Maserati.He left this hopeless place immediately.
Chapter 534
It was peaceful and quiet in the café.
Nicole chatted with Carl for a while before she noticed him rubbing his forehead tiredly.
'He must've come to look for me right after he got off the plane.He's so tired because he's still jet- lagged from the time difference, ' Nicole thought.
She quickly stood up before turning to Carl.
"Where do you stay?" she asked.
Carl raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly.
"Why? Will you be sending me back?" he asked lazily.
Nicole nodded without hesitation.
Then, she stood up and walked out.
When Claus saw them leaving, he walked up and flashed Nicole a smile.
He twirled the car keys and said playfully, "Mr...Friend of Ms.Riddle.The chairman has instructed us to send you wherever you wish you go."
Carl looked at the man in shock, "And your chairman is?"
Nicole glanced at Jared in silence.He was leaning against the bar counter and did not seem to notice them.
However, the moment she cast her gaze at him, he lifted his head slightly to meet her eyes.
Carl followed Nicole's gaze.
When he saw Jared, he paused before asking incredulously, "That's him?"
Claus nodded innocently.It did not take long before Claus started feeling uncomfortable.He twitched the corner of his lips before saying in a decisive tone, "It's fine."
Meanwhile, Jared stood up and sauntered up to them.
"You don't come to Hustuaburg often.Since you're Nicole's friend, we must do what we can to make you feel at home," he said with a smile.
Jared then walked up to Nicole and gently grabbed her hand.He was now standing right in front of Carl.
Carl watched as Nicole did not struggle out of his grip.He sighed deeply.
"It's fine."
Then, he turned around and walked toward the door.
Nicole frowned slightly at his turned back and said, "But you're leaving soon.Why don't you stay over at my place for a day?"
Carl froze instantly.
Then, a smile slowly formed on his lips.
'I knew it.I knew Nicole couldn't possibly ignore me when I traveled thousands of miles to find her" he thought.
At the thought of this, Carl turned around and titled his head.
"Let's go."
A smile appeared in Nicole's eyes as she gently tucked her hair behind her ear.
Claus stared at her distractedly.
Meanwhile, Jared threw him an indifferent glance.
Claus quickly turned away and said loudly, "I'll go get the car!"
Nicole did not respond; she walked out with a calm expression.
Carl saw her walking in his direction.
Just as he was about to flash her a smile, he noticed Jared beside her.
'His gaze doesn't seem friendly" Claus thought.
Carl had a slight look of reluctance.He then frowned at Jared.
"Why are you tagging along?" he asked coldly.
Jared did not look at him and continued trailing behind Nicole mindlessly.
Their footsteps looked surprisingly in sync from behind.
"To send Nicole home."
Carl was speechless.
“I haven't thought of this.Am I really going to let this man who embarrassed me on our first meeting send me home?’ he wondered.
Just as Carl was about to say something, Nicole spoke.
"My car isn't in Hustuaburg; you know where it is.What's more, you don't have a Hustuaburg driver's license, so this is the best solution," she said indifferently.
Chapter 535
After Nicole finished her sentence, she turned to Jared with a slight smile.
"Am I right?" she asked.
Jared stared at her dotingly, "Yes, you are."
Carl looked at them; he was speechless.
‘Regardless, Nicole has a point.Not only is this the fastest solution, but it's also the safest one" he thought.
At this thought, he sped up his walking pace and nodded at Nicole reluctantly.
Then, the four set off toward the Riddle family's house.
Carl sat in the front passenger seat with a wronged look for most of the ride.
When he finally turned around to look at Nicole, he was stunned.
'I was too caught up in my emotions just now; I didn't even notice how pretty Nicole looks today!’ Carl thought.
The Nicole that he usually saw was bare-faced and dressed casually.
On the other hand, the Nicole he was currently looking at looked like an angel.
Nicole turned to him as if she had noticed his gaze.Her beautiful eyes looked at him confusedly; it was as if she was questioning his gaze on her.
All of a sudden, Carl's face was flushed.He was no longer the smooth-talker around ladies; he had even forgotten what he was about to say.
All he could think about was her beautiful face.
Jared stared at Carl's focused gaze and narrowed his eyes.He then winded down his window lazily.
All of a sudden, a gust of cold air entered the car.
Carl shivered and instantly regained his composure.
After that, he turned to glare at Jared; this was his way of condemning Jared's shameless behavior.
Jared lightly raised his eyebrows.His gaze toward Carl was cold; it was as if he was silently challenging him.
‘What're you going to do about it?' Jared thought.
Nicole turned to glance at Jared.She rarely saw him make such expressions; she could not help but smile slightly.
Nicole ignored the two of them; she looked at Claus, who was driving silently.
"Where are the clothes that I was wearing before this?"
Since she had left the house in a rush, she did not manage to get changed.
Claus did not dare to answer.
Meanwhile, Jared looked over and spoke.
"I've gotten someone to send them back to your house," he replied lazily.
Nicole glanced at him and was quiet.She then nodded and quickly turned her gaze back out the window.
Claus drove quickly, so it did not take long before they reached the Riddle family's house.
Nicole and Carl got off the car quickly.
Carl watched as Nicole bade Jared goodbye.
After that, she led him to the manor.
Carl quickly ran up to her and complained, "Nicole, what's the matter with you? Why are you with such a terrible man?!"
Nicole did not respond.She looked at the Riddle family manor with slight surprise in her eyes.
Mr.Riddle Sr.was standing in front of the hall.He appeared to have sent off a guest; the smile on his face was apparent.
Damien and Dexter stood beside Mr.Riddle Sr.with proud expressions.
When the two caught sight of Nicole walking toward them, they quickly recomposed themselves and revealed slightly awkward expressions.
Nicole ignored them.
Instead, she walked straight up to Sean and Steve and stared at their calm expressions.
"What's the matter?" she whispered.
Carl trailed behind her and slightly raised his eyebrows at the people in front of him.
‘Are they Nicole's family members?' he wondered.
At this thought, he trudged up to them.
Sean was about to speak when he saw the tall and handsome foreigner behind Nicole.He could not help but frown slightly.
"Who's this, Nicole?" he asked.
