Ch. 566..570: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 566-570
Chapter 566
Nicole returned to the room, put her bag down, turned around, and knocked on the door of the guest room next door.
“Carl?”
There was no answer; probably he was not there. Nicole thought of Carl’s restless personality and shook her head helplessly.
The party downstairs did not seem to have ended. Probably some more guests had arrived as there was another uproar again. Nicole returned to her room, took out the silver-white shard again, and carefully studied it in the palm of her hand.
At this level of damage, she could almost be sure that it had been hit by an extreme impact force. Ordinary weapons could not have shattered it; it had to be some heavy weapon, and to do this, the person needed to understand the weaknesses of this alloy. As the hardest metal in the world, it was impossible to break so easily. Nicole clutched the chrome-nickel alloy in her hand and squinted her eyes. She saw this rampant act as a direct challenge to her redline. Suddenly, there were light footsteps coming from behind her. Nicole looked back and was surprised to see Carl and Preston, both dressed in formal suits, talking to each other while walking upstairs. Nicole looked at the two with surprise. As far as she knew, they were the typical type of guys who disliked wearing suits.
Preston and Carl now saw Nicole. Preston quickened his steps up the stairs and came up to Nicole with a sly smile. “Your friend is interesting.” Nicole looked at him and cocked an eyebrow. “Won’t you go downstairs?”
The party should not be over yet, and he could fit in perfectly with the occasion in this attire.
But Preston waved his dismissing hand at hearing about the party. He loosened his tie and solemnly said, “Only the latest motorcycle exhibition and visiting your grand is worth my suit.
Nicole looked at his prudish look and smiled. Carl had also walked up behind Preston, looked at Nicole, and blinked. “Your house seems to be vivacious today.” Nicole nodded and looked at Preston, who quickly realized something and gestured at Carl before going downstairs. Nicole then looked at Carl with a serious face. “Pack up. We’ll leave tonight,” she said in a somewhat impersonal voice. The playful look faded from Carl’s eyes. He quickly stepped aside and pulled out his mobile phone to make a call. His black phone was exactly the same as Nicole’s.

Nicole watched him walk into the room and take out his things. The habits of the two were almost indistinguishable, both lightly armed, and each person carried only a simple travel bag. He threw the bag over his shoulder and turned to leave with Nicole. “Wait a minute,” Nicole suddenly said. Carl looked at Nicole with puzzlement, not knowing why she called a halt. “We will go to another place first,” she said, walking out with her bag on her back. The two of them quietly left through the back door. An hour later, in Great Oak–
Mrs. Wallace Sr. opened the door and was surprised to see Nicole standing outside. “Nicole? It’s late at night now; what are you doing here?” Nicole looked at her grandmother and whispered, “The boy who treated you rudely in the classroom last time asked me to convey his apology to you.”
Chapter 567
Mrs.Wallace Sr.nodded, not minding it.Instead, she looked at her granddaughter with puzzlement.
"Where are you going?" Nicole knew she could never hide things from her grandmother, nor did she intend to.
"I am traveling with my parents, worried that you would miss me, so I first came to see you."
Mrs.Wallace Sr.nodded.
"Don't worry about me.I'm all right.Be careful when you're out there."
Nicole listened patiently to her grandmother's nagging admonition without interrupting her.
After a moment, she glanced at her watch.
"Grandma, I have to go."
Mrs.Wallace Sr.nodded downheartedly and sighed softly as she watched her granddaughter turn away.
Nicole had always been sensible.
Especially after she was lost and found, she became as steady and dependable as now; every time before going out, she would let her grandmother know lest her grandmother would be worried.
Mrs.Wallace Sr.knew that her granddaughter had secrets, and that she probably was not going on a vacation.But since Nicole did not tell her, she would not ask.
Returning to her room silently, Mrs.Wallace Sr.sat down at her desk, secretly praying for Nicole's safe return.
What had to be done had been done; Nicole and Carl headed straight for the airport.
On the plane, Nicole silently looked at the clouds outside the window, her mind drifting away.She thought of where she was about to return and sighed.
Carl noticed her emotions and turned to look at her with a slight concern in his affectionate blue eyes.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Nicole said not a word.She shook her head gently and closed her eyes.
Carl looked at her for a moment and then pulled a blanket over her body.
He did not want Nicole to continue to get involved in those things, but she was the only person who could control those things and solve the crisis.The plane seemed to be flying in an arc across the sky.
When it landed, the sun was shining brightly, and the air was warm.
In San Joto-- When Sebastian returned home, he kneaded his forehead as he felt a little exhausted after going out for the entire day.
A sound came from the kitchen.
At first, Sebastian thought Marie was back in his house and cooking without him asking.
But before he could say anything, Martin poked his head out of the kitchen.
"Dad? You're back?"
Sebastian nodded, looking at Martin with surprise and a faint sense of puzzlement.
'What are you doing in the kitchen?" Martin shrugged.
"I'm hungry, and thinking that you must haven't eaten, so I have also made you something."
He then brought three dishes straight out.Sebastian looked at them and was surprised.
‘These things look good"
He looked at his son and asked, "When did you learn to cook?"
Martin replied impatiently while setting the table.
"When I was still a child, you were always not at home.So I learned a little by myself, and then when I went abroad, I was not used to the food there and learned to cook."
Sebastian felt a faint pang of guilt upon hearing what Martin said.
Martin seemed to have read his mind and cocked an eyebrow.
"Don't get sentimental now; it's too late."
Then he sat down at the table and dug in.
"Where have you been this evening?" he suddenly asked casually.
Sebastian took off his coat, and after washing his hands, he sat down and said, "The Riddle family had a dinner party.I was invited.
'The Riddle family? Isn't the family that Nicole is from?' Martin's eyes widened, and he looked not too happy.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier so I could go with you?"
Chapter 568
He had long wanted to see what Nicole looked like, and yet he missed such a wonderful opportunity.
Sebastian looked at his son with an innocent look "I thought you disliked going to such parties, saying that the food was terrible, everyone there had an ax to grind, and it was boring.I did ask you to go with me a few times, but you turned it down.I thought—"
Martin listened to what he said and scratched his head with chagrin.
'It seems to be true"
He was in no mood to eat.
As soon as he put down the cutlery in his hand, he received a phone call.Sebastian glanced at it and showed that it was Michael.He quietly withdrew his gaze.He never interfered in his son's career.
Martin was a successful doctor, whose medical skills were well-known through San Joto.
This was what Sebastian was most proud of.
The corner of his mouth curled up in a subtle smile at the thought of this.He saw Martin's face turn serious, and he did not want to disturb him from answering the phone.
"Who?"
As the person on the other end of the phone said something, Martin got an impatient look on his face.
"You know I will never accept patients like him.Go find Joyce; she'll certainly be happy to accept him."
Martin then hung up at once.Sebastian looked at his son's angry expression and sighed silently.
"Who makes you angry again?"
Martin scratched his head irritably and said with annoyance, "They asked me to be Mr.Rogers Sr"s surgeon.But I don't want to have anything to do with those wealthy people; they are full of themselves, expect too much, and don't follow doctors' instructions.Worse still, they blame doctors for not curing them when problems arise because of their attitude.It is annoying."
Sebastian looked at his son and nodded in agreement.
"I totally agree."
Martin did not expect that his father would approve of him instead of scolding him for lack of a sense of responsibility or anything like that.
"Dad, are you alright?"
Sebastian looked at his son's face and smiled instead of getting angry.
"Since the last time you told me what Solomon did to you, I made up my mind; I will be more circumspect and will not arbitrarily criticize you." Sebastian felt terrible at the thought of him hurting his son's feelings previously.
Martin looked into his father's sincere eyes and felt a little embarrassed.He touched the back of his head and muttered softly, "At least you know."
Then he got up and walked toward his room.He said nothing, but his steps were apparently brisk.
Sebastian looked at him from behind, his expression gradually turning gentle.
At an airport in Mecrounia-- Nicole calmly put on a baseball cap as she and Car] got off the plane.
Carl did the same.Their movement was quick, unlike someone who had just gotten off a seven- or eight-hour flight.
The airport was packed, but Nicole could sense someone staring at them.She then quickly spotted from the corner of her eye a few fearsome men in the crowd behind her.
"Are your whereabouts exposed?" Nicole asked Carl with a frown.
Carl was talking on the radio with a miniature headset in his ear when Nicole asked.He was stunned and blurted, "That's impossible."
Even his parents did not know about where he was going.His job was only to bring Nicole from Hustuaburg, and in order to make the trip discreet, he had taken an ordinary plane.No way his whereabouts could be exposed.
Chapter 569
Nicole saw the confident look in his eyes and nodded.
"We've got company.Three and five o'clock.Split," she quickly said, and then dashed in the other direction.
Carl reacted just as fast.
The two of them had been working together for many years and had a tacit understanding.
Before those people trailing them could react, Nicole and Carl had vanished into the crowd within seconds.
The leader of those people was infuriated and gave a slap to one of his men behind him.
"What are you all waiting for? They have noticed us.Give chase!"
Nicole and Carl moved so quickly that by the time a dozen men split into two groups and went looking for them, Nicole and Carl were already nowhere to be seen.
The group leader had now calmed down, took out his radio, and whispered to the person on the other end, "Boss, they were quick and got away; we didn't manage to catch them."
The person on the other end of the radio seemed to have said something, and the man's face turned pale.He answered respectfully and then beckoned his men behind him.
"Call it off!"
Nicole and Carl got into a low-key black SUV waiting at Gate C almost simultaneously.
Carl whistled softly and said, "Nicole, you are quicker than last time."
Nicole cocked an eyebrow at him and said, "So are you."
Carl could not reach this speed last time.It seemed that the previous mission not only almost put him in trouble but also honed his strength.
Carl looked at Nicole with eagerness in her eyes.
"Shall we have a friendly match again next time?" Nicole shot him a glance and nodded.
She was also curious about how much Carl had grown.
But thinking about the look of those people just now, Nicole frowned, turned to look at Carl, and asked in a bitter voice, "Is that them?"
Carl hesitated with a confused look in his blue eyes.
There was no marking or sign on those people's clothes, so he could not tell if they were sent by that family.He honestly shook his head at Nicole and said, "I don't know."
Nicole knew he would not lie to her.The fact that they were ambushed as soon as they got off the plane meant that something had gone seriously wrong.
She narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "You've definitely been exposed."
Needless to say, Carl was well aware of the problem.
His expression remained unchanged, but his voice gradually became grave.
"I'll find out." Nicole nodded, not wanting to dwell on this issue for too long.
She leaned back in the seat and looked at the unique scenery of Mecrounia, thinking about something in her mind.It was a long drive.
By the time the vehicle stopped, it was late afternoon.
Nicole glanced at the massive manor and the familiar black goat's skull statue at the entrance, then slowly stepped out of the vehicle.
Carl followed suit.
The servant at the door saw the two of them and was visibly shocked.He looked at Carl and asked in disbelief, “When did you go out, Carl?"
Chapter 570
Carl ignored him and walked inside with Nicole.
The servant looked suspiciously at Nicole, whom he had never seen before.
But since she came with Carl, he did not dare to say anything and let her in.
Nicole looked at the magnificent building as usual, the darker paint only adding to its majestic vibe and did not overshadow its beauty.
When the sunset fell on this manor, people would be amazed by the sense of history that came with time.
This was a heritage that only ancient buildings possessed.
Carl and Nicole walked side by side.
The news that Carl had brought a girl home immediately spread throughout the manor.It was still not nightfall yet, but the hall was already brightly lit.
People were neatly sitting on both sides of a long dining table, and in the head seat sat a senior man.
He was draped in a black nightgown and seemingly could not keep his eyes open.
A woman next to the senior man complained, saying, "Why hasn't Keynes come back? Doesn't he know the family is facing some problems lately? It's so hard to gather everyone for a meal together nowadays."
Another man next to her chided the woman.
"Shut up, Merry.Keynes is the only child of our eldest brother, the heir of our family."
This man looked serious, and he spoke what was on his mind and meant his words.He thought Merry was not qualified to say that about Keynes.
Behind him, yet another man with an uncomely face slowly said, "Merry has a point.Is Keynes going out to play again during such a bad time? He has always been so willful.Eber, stop defending him just because he is the heir."
'The heir is replaceable, isn't it?’ They occupied the top three seats besides the head seat, and the rest of the people dared not say anything upon hearing what they said.These three people were the direct line of descendants of the Turmann family, and the rest, who were just indirect descendants, had no say at the dining table.When the senior man sitting in the head seat heard what Simon, his younger brother, said, a light flashed in his eyes, and he squinted.He looked at the uncomely man next to him and said disapprovingly, Simon, you have crossed the line."
Simon shot an indifferent look at him, but when his eyes collided with the eyes of the man sitting in the head seat, he gasped.
"Just shut up, would you?"
Elijah Turmann said languidly, looking at his younger siblings, especially Simon, who was looking defiantly at Eber.
"Elijah..."
Simon did not seem to back down.But strangely, Elijah did not actually scold him but he still felt a chill traveling up his spine.
Merry had long since stopped talking.
At this time, she looked at Elijah and quickly lowered her head.
"Elijah, you said you'd solve our problems," she said eagerly, but did not dare to raise her head to look Elijah in the eyes.
The rest of the people also looked at Elijah eagerly.
