Ch. 556..560: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 556-560

Chapter 556

Mr.Ellison snapped back from his thoughts when he heard Harvey's voice.He looked a little sad, but his expression quickly returned to being as solemn as usual.

"It doesn't matter."

At this point, he turned to look at Harvey.

"I sure will let you lead the entire Ellison family in the future.You will be the one who decides the course of cooperation with the Holder family."

Harvey was startled, not expecting his grandpa to make such a promise to him.He felt he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Lloyd followed Nicole to walk out of the building.

He seemed to have something to say, but was hesitating to say.He just followed her quietly.

Nicole's feelings for Lloyd were a complicated one.

In her eyes, Lloyd was just one of her patients.

They had once been on a mission together, during which Lloyd was seriously injured.

Apart from physical injuries, the most terrible thing was that he also suffered from psychological trauma.He had fear of the dark, as if a physiological reflex, almost to the point of extremes.

Nicole cured him using an extreme method of therapy, but that also left behind a side effect that she thought as insignificant.

She left, hoping that Lloyd would be better off.She looked back at the person behind her.

"Can I help you?" she asked.

Lloyd looked at Nicole with surprise on his handsome face, as he did not expect her to talk to him.It took him a lot of time and effort to find her, and he was not going to let her get out of his sight again.

‘It turns out that she is Nicole, who has saved me twice"

"Where are you going?" he asked.

Nicole frowned at his question.She did not think their relationship had reached the point where he could ask about her itinerary.

"It's none of your business," she said coldly.

Lloyd was confused by her reply.He reached out to grab Nicole's hand, but as she had done at the banquet the other day, she easily avoided his hand.

"Nicole, I just want to know more about you," he said.

His voice was pleasant, and because of the gentle tone, it was hard to detect the hint of pleading undertone.But Nicole was acutely aware of it.She looked at Lloyd with a dilemmatic look in her eyes.

"Why on earth do you care so much about me? Just because I saved you?"

Lloyd looked with emotions at her beautiful face.He gently closed his tender eyes, and when he opened them again, they were as calm as the sea with no emotion in them.

"You don't know how important you are to me," he said.

'Had she known about it, she wouldn't have left me so quietly"

But Nicole could not understand what he was saying, just looking him in the eyes helplessly.

"Vitas, don't be stubborn.We just went on a mission together; we didn't know each other much at all," she said.

Lloyd frowned instantly before he let out a smile with the look of a stranger and a little stubbornness in his eyes.

"Hello, Nicole, since we don't know each other well, let's reacquaint ourselves.My Hustuaburgian name is Lloyd."

Nicole was speechless and did not know what to say anymore.

In the CEO's office of the JJ Johnston Group, Jared was enjoying coffee when his mobile phone rang.He glanced at it and his face turned serious when he saw it was a strange number.

But he picked it up, anyway.

As soon as he answered, an urgent voice came from the other end of the phone.

Chapter 557

"Boss, things have gone wrong,"

Janus, his right-hand man abroad, whispered over the phone.

"We are unlikely to supply the next batch of goods."

With that, Janus, who was on the other end of the phone, turned the camera around so that Jared could see what was going on at the scene.

Jared's face darkened as he saw the deep explosion crater.

"Fortunately, none of our men were injured.They all evacuated in time, but the entire mine collapsed.Our months of hard work have gone down the drain," Janus said.

Jared looked at the scene on the screen, squinting, his eyes icy as a glacier.

'Once I find out which bastard did this, I will not spare him! Looking at the smoke and dust shown on the screen, Jared said in an icy voice, "Who did it?"

Janus frowned and repeated the name of the suspect.

"I suspect that they have been planning this for a long time.They only launched the attack after being sure that you are indeed no longer in Mecrounia.It was done covertly; I could find no evidence. Jared sneered.

"They've indeed planned for this a long time ago.Come back to see me right away."

He pressed a button to end the call.

Max looked at Jared's grave expression, thought of what he had said just now, and frowned.

"Boss, do you want us to go with you?"

Jared shook his head, his fingers gently tapping on the table as he said slowly, "Castor is coming back; you stay here and keep an eye on him; ask Claus to monitor Michael, and report to me immediately if something happens."

Max nodded, knowing that Castor Johnston, Jared's elder brother, was not a nice sort; Jared really needed to be prepared in advance.

Just as he still wanted to say something, Jared stood up and walked out.

Max then heard him say in a frosty voice, "Get ready the car.Go back to the Johnston Mansion."

Along the way, Jared's expression was not looking good as he seemed to have a lot of things going on in his head.He had put the Rogers family in its place, but Shawn and Christo were too quiet lately.

They were no longer a threat to him, but they could still pose a threat to the Riddle family.So he figured he needed to think of a way to keep Nicole safe when he was away.

Max did not disturb Jared.

The black vehicle sped down the highway and before long, they arrived at the Johnston Mansion from the headquarters of the JJ Johnston Group.

Glancing at the facade of the mansion's front gate, Max opened the car door for Jared and said respectfully, '"We've arrived, boss."

Jared got out of the car and walked through the gate of the Johnston Mansion.

Unbeknownst to Jared, Gary was sitting in his café, seemingly in a daze.

This time, he had brought a laptop with him, constantly analyzing the slightest signal he had intercepted in the school's security room.He watched his computer keep changing from blue to white screens with an anxious look in his eyes.

Claus was bored and playing with a cup at the bar counter.

When he saw Gary's expression, he approached him with curiosity.

'Why is his laptop screen flashing so weirdly? Could it be broken?! Claus thought to himself and glanced at Gary.

"If your laptop is broken, you can ask Nicole to fix it for you, but I'm not sure if she is willing to help."

Gary had been very impatient with Claus, hating this waiter whom he deemed to be talking too much.

But upon hearing the second half of his sentence, Gary's hand holding the mouse froze.

"What did you say?" he asked.

 

Chapter 558

Claus looked at Gary, who was a little surprised, and the look on his face was even more surprised than Gary's.

"Don't you like Nicole? Don't you even know how badass Nicole's skills are?"

He learned from Jared that Nicole had helped Rowan and others solve a problem that an entire bunch of top hackers could not solve, and Gary did not know about it.He looked at Gary and studied him with a meaningful smile.

"It seems like you don't like Nicole enough."

Gary clenched his fists and looked at Claus with frosty eyes.

"I don't like Nicole." He picked up what he had in his hand and was about to get up and walk outside.

Claus looked at the shirt on the seat signed with Nicole's name and spread his hands helplessly.

"You don't like Nicole? So what's the matter with Nicole's autograph here? Kid, don't lie to yourself.Girls won't like you."

As if he was playing the role of a teacher, Claus sat down in front of Gary and started to explain the facts of life to him.

At last, after admiring enough of Gary's fed-up face, he added by saying, "So, you won't be able to get hold of a girl like Nicole who is beautiful, powerful, and smart."

Just as Claus got up and wanted to leave, Gary mumbled behind him, saying, "So, is Nicole Lucifer?"

Nicole's seemingly untraceable background, the school's tampered surveillance footage, the obvious autograph, and the S that Nicole subconsciously wrote, and Claus's mockery—as if everything was pointing to the ultimate fact.

Claus turned to wink at Gary.

"Take a guess."

Then he slowly returned to the bar counter and continued playing with coffee cups.

Gary was left sitting there thinking to himself.

A moment later, he got up and walked outside, not forgetting to take the shirt with him.

Claus looked on and wiped the cold sweat from his face as Gary went.

'I almost accidentally divulged Nicole's identity.Boss will kill me if he finds out"

On the other side, Nicole did not know what to do as Lloyd kept following her.He followed her all the way and said nothing, as if he just wanted to look at her.

"What exactly do you want?" Nicole asked.

As Lloyd followed her so openly with everyone recognizing him as the movie star, it became an annoyance for her.

Lloyd could tell the distantness in her voice, and he looked at Nicole with a faint sense of innocence in his eyes.

"I didn't do anything."

Then, his eyes lit up with a gentle look of cunningness.

"But if you will, tell me where you're going, will you?"

There seemed to be no compulsion.

Nicole looked at him with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

Somehow, she felt Lloyd was very similar to Harvey in some ways.He had the same paranoia, endless desire to control, but in some aspects, he was much gentler, like a boiled frog in warm water, silent and suffocating.

Lloyd knew the limit.

Nicole looked at him.

Chapter 559

"I'm going to Mecrounia, and not sure when I will be back." Lloyd quickly sensed Nicole's impatience with him.He smiled gently and asked nothing more, well-disposed, and gentlemanly, just like on the silver screen.

"Okay, Nicole," he replied, his voice pleasant, with a very peaceful yet alienated tone.

He was standing at a safe distance, causing no discomfort to Nicole.

"I wish you the best of luck."

Nicole looked at him and nodded, knowing that what she had just felt was not an illusion.

"Thank you."

Lloyd looked on with a thoughtful look on his face as Nicole went without looking back.He did not follow her again, but just stood where he was, quietly watching her leave.He gave out a vibe that felt difficult to guess and unfathomable.

Many girls around him recognized him, but they did not dare to approach him because of his icy expression.

But there was one girl plucking up enough courage to step out and look at Lloyd with admiration.

"Are you Lloyd?" the girl asked.

Lloyd nodded.

His frosty expression vanished from his face as he looked at the girl with a gentle smile.

"I am.Is there anything that I can help you with?"

When the girl saw he was so friendly, she quickly took out a booklet from her bag and handed it to Lloyd.

"Can I get your autograph?"

Nicole had been staying in the Riddle Mansion recently to take care of Mr.Riddle Sr.

As she arrived back at the mansion, she saw luxury cars parked up in front of the house.She stopped in her tracks.

But when she remembered that Mr.Riddle Sr.had mentioned about the party yesterday, she let out a sigh.

'I hate parties"

But Carl was still inside.Nicole had no choice but to walk in.She saw that Mr.Riddle Sr.was chatting with someone.

Without expression on her face, Nicole turned in a direction.

As she was about to go upstairs, an insidious voice came from behind her.

"Since you're back, why don't you help entertain the guests, Nicole?"

Nicole stopped and looked down the stairs.

When she saw it was Chloe, who was dressed to the nines, a look of mockery appeared in her eyes.

‘Chloe is nowhere to be seen on normal days, but will surely come home as long as there is a party with celebrities as invited guests at home"

Thinking of this, Nicole did not bother to respond.

Just then, she heard Mr.Riddle Sr"s jubilant voice.

"You're back, Nicole.Come and meet Mr.Wynn."

Nicole turned around expressionlessly.She walked back into the living hall, looked at the thin man sitting across from Mr.Riddle Sr., and said hello.

"Nice to meet you, Mr.Wynn.I'm Nicole," she said.

At first, she just wanted to show her face and leave, not expecting that everyone was looking at her with surprise and jealousy in their eyes upon hearing her name.

‘That's this woman!' Mr.Wynn was also startled, looking at Nicole and said stutteringly, "H-Hello, Nicole.I-I've heard your name a long time ago.What a pleasure to meet you in person."

Chloe saw Mr.Wynn's attitude and was exasperated.He did not show such enthusiasm when she greeted him earlier.

Taylor looked at Nicole with disdain.

'These politicians are often reluctant to rub shoulders with businessmen.But this time, things are special; it's said that Sebastian, who is expected to become the governor, has also accepted the invitation and would attend this party."

 

Chapter 560

‘How could they not come? Besides, they were humiliated in front of Sebastian recently and would certainly find a way to take revenge.’

Taylor proudly stepped aside, waiting for the people of the Riddle family to greet him.

But after a long wait, and people were swarming around Nicole to talk to her, no one bothered to come talking to him.

‘They’re all blind.’

Since Sebastian had not come, Taylor walked out angrily. Daniel was receiving guests when he saw Taylor walk out angrily. He asked Taylor in a whisper, “Where are you going? The party venue is in the opposite direction.

Taylor was pissed and pushed Daniel away. “The party has no class, and the host has a poor attitude; why should I stay any longer?” Hearing Taylor’s unsparing criticism, Daniel was startled and could not immediately find a word to respond.

Taylor thought Daniel was rendered speechless by what he said. He sneered, looking at him with disdain in his eyes. “Look at you; probably you haven’t met people like us before. Go home and learn for a few more years. Don’t embarrass yourself here.” As good-tempered as Daniel was, he felt offended and pissed by Taylor’s blatantly humiliating words. Just as he was about to speak, a gentle voice came from behind him.

“Sorry, I’m late.”

Daniel saw Taylor’s eyes widen in an instant; his arrogance vanished, and he now had a flattering look on his face. “We have been waiting for you, Mr. Wyance,” Taylor said. ‘What?’ Sebastian has come?’

Daniel looked back and saw a personable man walking slowly toward him. The smile on the man’s face was like a spring breeze, commanding yet friendly. Ignoring Taylor’s flattery, Sebastian walked over to Daniel and held out his hand with a smile. “You must be Nicole’s father. Nice to meet you.”

Daniel shook hands with Sebastian and felt flattered. “Yes, I am. You know Nicole?”

Sebastian nodded gently. Taylor on the side was so surprised that his face turned pale. He never expected that Sebastian would be so nice to the Riddle. Thinking of what Sebastian had just said and looking at the back of the two of them who had such a friendly conversation, Taylor had cold sweat trickling down his forehead. ‘How can this be? Didn’t I just shoot myself in the foot with my attitude toward Daniel just now?’

Instead of leaving, he hurriedly turned back and tried to catch up with Sebastian, wanting to

explain himself. Just then, he spotted someone he knew in the crowd.

‘Isn’t that chubby guy beside Nicole Eric? Hasn’t he spoken to Sebastian alone before? Yet he is with Nicole now. What has happened that I haven’t yet known?’

Taylor stood where he was, feeling that he had missed a lot.

Suddenly, a hand tapped on his shoulder from behind. He turned his head around and found that it was Luke, whom he had not seen all this while.

‘Didn’t he lose the tender? I’m surprised he still has the mood to come to the Riddle family’s party.’

Luke looked at the lively party with a deep sense of jealousy in his eyes, which only vanished until he saw Taylor. “Mr. Wyatt, do you know exactly why Mr. Wyance has selected the Riddle family?” Taylor thought about Luke’s performance in the conference room earlier.
