Ch. 591..595: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 591-595
Chapter 591
After all, although this heir to the Turmann family was handsome, he was exceedingly indifferent to the ladies.
He could never remember their names, and only because she was closest to Aunt Merry that she could barely consider herself acquainted with him.
When Vera thought of this, she could not maintain her smile any longer.
She looked at the two people walking away, and Carlisle turned sideways to speak to that woman, and the smile on his face was extremely gentle! ‘Carlisle have never treated a woman like this before!'
Vera stared fiercely at Nicole's back, and many girls too noticed the mood was off as they looked at Vera with some fear.She was the most talented among them, and the one Merry doted on the most.She may look very sweet and naive, but she was very difficult to get along with.
It was only with Carlisle that she was gentle and considerate.
How could Vera just watch as Carlisle walked away like that? As she looked at his back, her fingers had already balled into a fist, yet her voice was still sweet as ever.
"Carlisle, wait a moment.I have something to speak with you!"
She lifted her long skirt and trotted over.
Looking at the somewhat puzzled Carlisle and the beautiful Nicole behind him, a look of jealously flashed across her eyes.
‘How can a woman have such a vixen-like appearance? She must have seduced Carlisle by some unscrupulous means!' She did not say anything but instead gave Nicole a hostile look as if trying to silently voice her displeasure.
Nicole looked at her unfriendly face and gently raised her eyebrow as she said.
"Carl, go ahead and talk.I'll head down first."
Carl tried to stop Nicole as he looked irritably at Vera, who had stopped him but yet did not speak.His voice was somewhat icy.
"Well, out with it then."
Vera gave Carlisle an incredulous look. She did not expect Carlisle, who had always attached much importance to family affairs, to have such an attitude.
Even though she would always resort to this excuse, no matter how busy he was, he would talk to her patiently.
'He would have never been like this, being so indifferent just after a few words!'
‘It must be that woman! She purposefully said that to Carlisle to make him impatient with her!'
‘Also, what right does she have to call Carlisle, Carl? That's something only a very close person could call him, and even I dare not call him that!"
Thinking of this, Vera's eyes reddened a little, but looking at Carlisle's face, she dared not say much else but instead quickly asked.
"Carlisle, will you be attending the Mobile Armor Tournament this time?"
The Mobile Armor Tournament was a yearly competition held by the Turmann family to select a prodigy of mechanical engineering.
As Carlisle was twenty this year, and as a male of the Turmann family, he could very well be the next master of the house.
So, by right, he should be attending this tournament not only to showcase his talents but to also win fame and glory for the family.
After all, the Turmann family had been severely hobbled in secret, and many other families were eyeing them as if waiting for the great tree to fall.
Carlisle obviously knew this.He looked at the anticipant Vera and nodded as he said.
"I will be participating as well."
Vera's eyes visibly lit up as she looked at Carlisle and said excitedly.
"Really? I'm eighteen this year, so I can finally join the Mobile Armor Tournament as well.It seems like I can team up with you this time, Carlisle!"
Chapter 592
As she said that, she let out a bashful looking, looking very alluring.
Carlisle, however, wore no expression.
Seeing that she had no other matter to talk about, he turned to leave with Nicole and then asked Nicole in an intimate matter.
"Are you planning to join the Turmann Mobile Armor Tournament?"
After saying that, he shook his head.
"Nah, forget it.Better not."
Nicole glanced at him as she turned and headed downstairs, not being bothered to respond.
Carl, however, said excitedly as he followed behind her, "Even if you don't participate, can you come to see my match? I've put a lot of effort into this!"
Vera chased after the two.
When she saw Carlisle being so warm to Nicole, yet she was being so cold to him, asurge of jealousy raged within her, yet she still maintained a gentle facade as she said.
"Yes, how about you come and spectate the tournament? You cannot participate in it and experience the sense of achievement of designing and piloting your own Mobile Armor, but for an outsider like you, just witnessing it alone is very beneficial!"
In between the lines spoken, she was looking down on Nicole.
When Nicole heard this, she gave Vera a glance.Her gaze was faint, yet it was enough to cause the latter to shrink back a little when she looked at her.
'This woman, why does it feel like she can see through me!'
Even so, Vera still had a haughty air about her as she looked at Nicole with faint disdain in her eyes.
It was only her that thought that she had hid her disdain well enough that no one could detect it.
Carl gave Vera a glance as he frowned a little, seemingly wanting to say something.
Yet, Nicole calmly responded.
"I will attend the tournament."
She also wanted to know if Carl's family had managed to produce a new generation of talent over the past few years.
Carl was immediately drawn by her words.He excitedly pulled Nicole ahead as he kept asking.
"Are you really attending, Nicole? That's the way.You know, I've made ample preparations for this.
Although I have no idea if I can win the championship, I should have no problem getting into the top three!"As he said that, he raised his chest proudly.
Seeing that he seemed to be satisfied if he could get into the top three, a helpless smile appeared in Nicole's eyes.
Carl was still the same as he was back then.
When the two of them were in a team, he always felt that good enough was enough.
If it were not for her dragging him to train, he would have just relaxed his day away and done nothing.
And he was still the same now.
When Carl saw her looking at him like that, he seemingly recalled something as his eyes gleamed.
He knew how powerful Nicole was, and for him to show off like this before her, wasn't it a little ridiculous? Just as he wanted to say something, Nicole patted him on the shoulder and said gently.
"You are a talented man, Carl.Don't waste it."
As she said that, she walked down and did not see Carl's rather stunning look.He clenched his fist as he looked at Nicole's back, his eyes determined.
"I will definitely take the championship."
Vera chased after the two, and when she saw Carl standing there, she sheepishly walked over as she said gently to Carl.
"Carlisle, let's not talk to that girl anymore.I don't think she knows anything about Mobile Armors.Being with her just pulls down your status."
Chapter 593
The way she put it was most affectionate.She was the most talented of her generation and by right deserved to stand beside Carlisle.
‘And what woman is nothing!"
'So what if she got the favor of the master of the house? She cannot help Carlisle in terms of his career or other matters.For him to get her to resolve the crisis the Turmann family is facing, the master must be crazy!'
Thinking of this, Vera raised her head proudly as she waited for Carl's affirmation.
Yet, Carl straight up ignored her as he only gave her a cold, mocking glance before chasing after Nicole and walking out with the latter.
Vera could only watch as Carl left just like that.She grasped the arm of one of the girls firmly, causing the latter to scream out in pain.
Vera then glanced at her and gave an insincere apology.
"Sorry."
She may be saying that, but as she looked at the two departing figures, a veil of menace appeared over her sweet - looking face.
'This woman.She dares to seduce my Carlisle! I'll make her pay for that!' Nicole did not know what Vera was thinking as she slowly made her way downstairs.Many people were already gathered in the hall, each of them sitting upright as if they were waiting for something.
Elijah was still squinting lazily as usual.
Yet, Nicole could sense that he was also a little nervous about what was about to happen.
His entire person was unprecedentedly tensed.
Seeing this, Nicole frowned a little.
'Who exactly is making Elijah so tensed?"
The two walked over to the dining table, and Elijah looked up to see his son and Nicole walking over, a smile appearing on his face.
"You're here." Nicole nodded.
She then naturally sat beside Elijah amidst everyone's gaze, her composure calm as ever.
Elijah looked at her and was very satisfied.He secretly gave his useless son a number of winks.
Unfortunately, perhaps because he was squinting, or Carl could not be bothered to pay any attention to him, he got no response.
Elijah then withdrew his gaze with some disappointment.His son had liked Nicole for a good while now.
Yet the boy did not say anything to her and was getting along with Nicole just like a friend.
‘There was a saying that the early bird gets the worm, yet why didn't it work with Nicole?! Elijah sighed for a while, and as he thought of the person he was about to face, a grim look appeared in his eyes.
To shift his attention away, he turned and started chatting with Nicole, only for Carl to hear him ask, "Nicole, what sort of man do you like? What do you think of Carl?"
Carl immediately froze as he did not even have the courage to look at Nicole.
His gaze simply wandered between the food on the table.He felt like strangling his father, yet he was anticipating within as well.
Elijah's voice was not soft, and everyone heard his question as they looked over in surprise.
'What does the master mean? Does he mean to make this girl the future matriarch of the Turmann family?"
‘Carl was very likely the next head of the Turmann family.With Elijah's attitude, is he giving up the various aristocratic ladies waiting for Carlisle's hand in Mecrounia and letting him marry this nobody of a Hustuaburgian woman?"
Chapter 594
Everyone's faces changed when they thought of it.
Merry looked at her eldest brother in surprise.
However, the shock on her face quickly disappeared.She was soon gloating.
‘Without the help of a powerful wife, Carlisle would not be able to hold his position even if he became the head of the family"
There was a glimmer of light in her eyes as she and Simon looked at each other.
Eber frowned and looked at his eldest brother in disapproval.He had a lot of respect for Nicole after she displayed her abilities yesterday, but she was still not qualified to be a wife in the Turmann family.
Vera, who was next to Merry, took a deep breath when she heard Elijah's words.Her eyes filled with undisguised hatred.She tried to control her emotions, but she failed.
Before Nicole could speak, Vera stood up, looked at Elijah in disbelief, and said, "My leader, you've said that you wouldn't interfere with Carlisle's choice!"
Elijah frowned when he heard what Vera had said.He then glanced at the charming girl and turned to Merry, "Merry, control your people."
Merry was taken aback by Vera's actions.She quickly held her down and said, "I'm sorry, brother, I will discipline her."
Merry scowled at Vera, and Vera realized what she had done—she had provoked the leader in public.Her face turned pale.
"I'm sorry, my leader, for I have overstepped," she said with her right hand on her chest and bowed.
Elijah did not care about Vera.She did not know that he knew his son well.
‘He'll never have a wife if I let him try to win over Nicole by himself" he thought.
Elijah then turned around to Nicole, waiting for her answer.
People from Mecrounia have always been open and unrestrained, especially when it came to asking questions regarding one's relationships.
Usually, girls would have blushed at the thought of answering those questions, but Nicole did not.
Instead, she looked at Elijah with a straight face and said, ''The person that I like—"
At this moment, a few servants rushed into the room and said something to Elijah.His eyes became sharp.He did not have time to wait for Nicole to finish her words.He then stood up and looked at everyone.
"The other party has arrived.Come with me to greet them," he said.
After that, he turned to Nicole and shot her an apologetic look.
Nicole shook her head lightly to indicate that it was fine.
‘I wasn't interested in the topic anyways" she thought.
Though, there was a hint of disappointment in Carl's eyes.
He was not happy that Nicole's opinion of him was interrupted.He glared at his father, but he knew very well how important the guests who had just arrived were.He also knew what his father did was right, so
he stood up and followed Elijah out.
Nicole watched them walk away.
Then, as if she had thought of something, she got up and followed them.
Chapter 595
Merry was in disdain when she saw Nicole from the corner of her eyes.
"Who is this who thinks she's worthy of walking along my side?" she said.
Vera noticed that it was Nicole.She smiled sweetly at Merry and said, "Don't be mad, Aunt Merry.Maybe this girl has yet to experience the world, so she wants to go have a look with you."
Upon hearing that, Merry had a proud look on her face.She snorted as if she agreed with Vera's staternent.She then walked out of the room without acknowledging Nicole.
Vera followed closely behind Merry and stood there obediently.
The two were about the same age and looked like sisters.
However, Nicole did not pay much attention to those two.
Instead, she slowly walked behind them.
Not long after, even the collateral descendants of the Turmann family surpassed her and gave her a scornful look along the way.
In their opinion, this woman wanted to get in on the throne.She was favored by the head of the house and the young master.
The Turmann family had always admired those who displayed ability and strength.
To them, Merry and Vera were goddesses.
Nicole had nothing but beauty.So, they did not have respect for her.
But Nicole did not care about their opinions of her.
Her eyes narrowed when she looked at the car parked in front of the Turmann Manor.
‘That car logo...Why does it look so familiar?' she thought.
Elijah, who was leading the group, looked at the car with a hint of fear and seriousness.
Carl also had a solemn expression when he saw the car.
Eber and Simon were nervous, while Merry fiddled with her watch as if it was a waste of time.
However, she did not dare show it.
Everyone in Mecrounia had heard of the JJ Johnston Group.
The head of the group was said to have come from a great background.No one knew his origins, and no one took him seriously.
But when the JJ Johnston Group was founded, the old family of Mecrounia found that they could not resist the unfathomable young man.
He quickly gathered resources from almost the whole country per the constitution of Mecrounia and actively promoted the country's economy.
With such a vast empire, everyone was scared.
People were also jealous of what he had—for example, the Intercontinental Party.
Elijah had received news that the government had a fallout with the JJ Johnston Group.
The Intercontinental Party then sent out to deal with the head of the JJ Johnston Group.
But the young man left calmly and unscathed.
Elijah was a little surprised and uneasy at the same time when the influential figure suddenly showed interest in his family.
The two forces had an ordinary partnership at best.
The other party has never shown interest in friendship.
Hence, Elijah did not try to initiate it either.
‘But they sent us the evidence the Thorne family has against us"
This made Elijah doubt their intentions.
After all, he was the head of the family.
It was customary for him to overthink.
This was also why Merry did not dare pull a long face in front of the leader of the JJ Johnston Group despite her prideful manner.She did not dare to go against someone with such great power.
