Ch. 596..600: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 596-600
Chapter 596
Merry stared at the car window, her eyes filled with nervousness and curiosity.
The founder of JJ Johnston Group was well-known in Mecrounia.He was a low-key and mysterious person, but few had met him.
No one in the Turmann family had met him except Merry's late father.
Vera noticed the look in Merry's eyes and whispered, "Everyone has heard of him, but no one has met him before.Do you think he's ugly?"
Just as Vera finished talking, the side door opened slowly, and Janus walked out.He ignored the people in front of him and respectfully walked to the other side of the car.He pulled the door handle open and stood aside with his head down while he waited for the person to step out.
Merry stared straight at the car in front of her without a word.She watched a pair of long slender legs step out of the car, and her eyes slowly moved upward.
The face she saw was a face that she would repeatedly describe for decades to come.
When the pair of striking eyes looked at her, she felt like she was floating on air.
Merry stared blankly at the man in front of her as her heart was pounding.Elijah also looked at him in surprise.
'I knew he was young, but I didn't know that he was that young!' he thought.
After a wave of emotions, Elijah calmed down and said with a smile, "You're the founder of JJ Johnston Group?"
Jared looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, who had dark green eyes.He nodded lightly.His lips curled slightly when he saw Carl, who was agape.
"So we meet again," he said.
Carl could not believe his eyes.
‘This guy is the founder of JJ Johnston Group? The guy that dad told me not to provoke?"
Carl took a deep breath as he thought of the time when he had made a move on Jared.He tried to force a smile, but he could not.
Hence, he spoke in a stiff tone: "What are you doing here?"
Elijah gave Carl a dissatisfied look when he heard his tone of voice.
"Do you two know each other?" he asked.
Jared looked at Carl with a half-smile and said, "Friendship grows in exchange for blows."
Elijah looked at Jared and then turned to Carl upon hearing this.
' What on earth is the meaning of this?' he thought.
Janus, who was behind Jared, recognized that Carl was the one who helped them last night.He looked at Carl calmly and thought, 'So Jared actually knows the Turmann family.No wonder he sent them the information to help them"
Elijah also sensed that the other party did not seem to be hostile to his family.
"By the looks of this young man, if Carl really offended them, he wouldn't be standing here"
"I guess this is fate, right? Let's go in and have a drink," Elijah said with a laugh.
Carl frowned, but he did not say anything.Eber was concerned but would not refute his elder brother's decision.
On the other hand, a ray of light flashed in Simon's eyes.
Chapter 597
‘'The founder of JJ Johnston Group.."
There was a hint of viciousness on Simon's face when he thought of this, but it was fleeting.
Just as he wanted to say hello to the young man, he heard a strange voice behind him.
Merry gently held onto her chest as she recovered from having a rapid heartbeat.She quickly showed her enthusiasm after her brother's invitation, fearing the other party would reject it.
"Yes, come in, come in.We're friendly people.Don't worry."
Eber and Simon had never seen Merry so excited before.
'She had always been cold and arrogant.She's rude to everyone, but now she's showing interest to a stranger?! Both of them thought and glanced at Merry with a strange look.
But Merry did not care what they were thinking.Her eyes were fixed on Jared.
Jared turned a blind eye to her warm welcome.
His eyes slowly moved back as if he was subconsciously looking for something.
Janus noticed that his master was slow to respond.
However, he did not know what Jared was thinking.So he quietly guarded by his side.
Inversely, Carl knew precisely what the man was thinking about and felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart.
Merry walked to Jared's side regardless of Vera's blockage.
"Hi, my name is Merry Turmann.Would you like me to make you a cup of coffee?" she asked with a confident smile.
At the same time, she was admiring the handsome face in front of her.
‘I've never seen such a perfect human being.The closer I get to him, the more flawless he becomes" she thought with desire in her eyes.
This was the first time she had ever had a crush on someone.
'I must have him"
Many collateral descendants were jealous of Jared.
‘Merry is an ice queen.But now she's warming up to this guy?" they thought.
However, Jared still did not respond to Merry's pursuit.He did not even spare her a glance.
Instead, he pursed his lips with indifference plastered all over his face.
No one had ignored Merry like this before.She was standing right before him, but he was not looking at her.She saw his eyes darken, but she held on to her smile.
As she was about to speak, she noticed his eyes lit up.She turned her head and saw Nicole strolling toward them with a hand over her head.Her skin was as white as snow, and her beauty was immaculate.
Everyone saw how Jared's lips curled upward.
There seemed to be hearts in his eyes.
Jared watched as Nicole squinted her eyes and looked in his direction.
"Let's go," he said.
Chapter 598
A thoughtful expression appeared on Elijah’s face as he noticed Jared's smile.
Nicole looked over toward them and saw Jared.
Though, she was not surprised.She walked over to him casually, stood beside him, and said calmly, "You're late."
The smile in Jared's eyes deepened.He watched as Nicole took his hand and pulled him toward Elijah.
"Here is the answer to your question," she said.
Her voice was low, but there was a hint of certainty.
Nicole glanced at Jared and said, "This is the man 1 like."
At that moment, a set of complex emotions appeared behind Elijah's eyes.He subconsciously looked at Carl and saw the sadness in his eyes.He then turned to Nicole and sighed.
‘She's a clever girl" he thought.
Elijah did not want to humiliate himself, so he smiled and nodded.
"You have good taste," he said to Nicole.
As if nothing had happened, the group invited Jared in.
Though, everyone looked at Nicole in shock.
"No wonder the leader valued her so much.She has a connection with the founder of the JJ Johnston Group!'’ Vera noticed that Merry was standing still, looking at the backs of Nicole and Jared walking
together.
Her stare was like a sharp sword that pierced through Nicole's back.
A sinister look appeared in Merry's emerald eyes.
The scene of Jared and Nicole being together broke her heart.
‘How could this be? How could this be?!' Vera glanced at Carl, who looked a little lost.
She stepped forward to comfort him, but he walked past her without any facial expression.
"Aunt Merry, did you see that?" Vera whispered.
Merry did not answer.Instead, she lowered her gaze and walked into the manor as if nothing had happened.
Initially, many collateral descendants wanted to initiate a conversation, but they noticed Merry's cold aura and decided to stay silent.However, Vera, who was closest to her, heard her say, "I'll make her pay."
Jared sat across from Elijah in the manor while Nicole sat beside him.She looked at Elijah, who had a solemn expression, and asked calmly, "This is the distinguished guest you were talking about?"
Elijah nodded.
At the same time, Carl, who sat beside him, lowered his head, which made people wonder what was going on in his mind.
Jared looked at Nicole and put her hands over her shoulders while he played with her hair.
A smile appeared in his eyes as he felt the smooth and silky hair in between his fingers.
Janus, who stood at the side, was stunned when he looked at the scene in front of him.
'I've never seen him so relaxed...So...Happy" he thought.
His master had always been elegant and unpredictable.
Jared had never been so comfortable in front of people.
‘Who in the world is this girl?!'
Chapter 599
At this thought, Janus lowered his head and did not dare to continue looking.
Meanwhile, the Turmann family sat across the two and gaped at the two.
For some reason, they felt like they were intruding.
"Why are they acting like we're not here?' they wondered.
Nicole glanced at Jared.
"Did you already know about the Thorne family and the Intercontinental Party joining forces to bring down the Turmann family?" she asked resignedly.
Many from the Turmann family were stunned to hear Nicole's words.They widened their eyes and stared at her incredulously.
‘How could the Thorne family and the government possibly bring harm to us? What is Nicole talking about?!' they wondered.
Simon's eyes flashed with slight panic; he seemed like he did not expect Nicole to say such a thing.
While Elijah did not doubt Nicole's words, Eber asked hesitantly, "How's that possible? The Intercontinental Party is also a victim in this incident..."
Eber's pupils constricted in shock as he spoke.
'We're getting blamed for being unable to provide the Intercontinental Party equipment.They think we're providing weapons to the enemies, so they're attempting to accuse us of treason.They refuse to back down no matter what we say, which is precisely why we're scrambling to find a way to replicate the
Mobile Armor.Nicole warned me not to tell anyone beforehand about her finding the Thorne family, so why is she suddenly saying such a thing now? ‘ Eber wondered.
Merry also looked at Nicole.She sneered and said in evident disdain, "You're full of nonsense and making things up.What proof do you have?"
Nicole ignored her and turned to Simon with an icy look.
"The Intercontinental Party never suffered from any real damage, and that's because they never even released the Mobile Armors during the war.Instead, they traveled south and bombed a developing chrome ore while they were at it!"
‘The Intercontinental Party is in cahoots with the Thorne family.This way, not only would Simon get rid of the Turmann family for refusing to hand over their family's Mobile Armor blueprint, but he'd also get a hold of the JJ Johnston Group resources he desperately wanted.He's killing two birds with one stone!' she thought.
Jared stared at Nicole.He did not look confused as to how she knew about the incident.He merely smiled and said cooperatively, "That's right, that's why I'm here.The next batch of goods will be delayed."
‘Jared isn't the type who would joke about his company's reputation.Since he's indirectly acknowledged the bombing of chrome ore, then what Nicole has said is very likely true!' At this thought, an icy look appeared on Elijah's usually calm demeanor.
‘If it weren't for Nicole's return, the sanctimonious Intercontinental Party would've fooled me and falsely accused me!' he thought.
Meanwhile, Merry's expression changed slightly.She stared at Jared, who was standing beside Nicole.
He was unbelievably focused on her; his gaze never left her ever since she appeared.
‘Did Nicole cast a spell on Jared to make him fall so madly in love with her?!” she thought.
Merry clenched her first at the thought of how Nicole effortlessly resolved the things she said.
At this point, she was no longer thinking about her family's survival but about how to deal with Nicole.
Nicole gazed at Elijah and said calmly, "I saw yesterday.The Intercontinental Party must've sent him to handle the matter, so we need to prepare ourselves beforehand."
Elijah nodded; he fully trusted Nicole.
"In your opinion, what should we do?" he asked without missing a beat.
Carl lifted his head and met both Nicole and Jared's gaze.
"Work with me."
"Work with him."
Chapter 600
Eber widened his mouth in disbelief after hearing their suggestion.Then, he glanced at Elijah doubtfully.
‘The JJ Johnston Group should be able to overcome this challenge, so why do they want to collaborate with us? What's in it for them? Nobody would do something that doesn't bring them benefit" Eber thought as he stared at Nicole.
Meanwhile, Elijah stared at Nicole.He understood why the JJ Johnston Group was helping him; he was silent for a few moments before nodding in agreement.
"Sure, let's do it.What do we need to do?"
Nicole turned to Jared; she seemed to be silently questioning him as well.However, Jared looked back at her and chuckled.
"Will you be leaving this place?" he asked.
Nicole immediately shook her head without hesitation.
Jared was not surprised at Nicole's response.He turned to Elijah with a smile before knocking on the table gently; it sounded unusually loud and clear.
"I'll think of a way to gather the needed materials within a week.There are only two things that you need to do: number one, do your best and upgrade the Mobile Armor.Use the least amount of time to develop a Mobile Armor that can be used on the battlefield, has double the combat power, and can be mass produced.Number two."
He turned to look at Nicole with a gleam in his eyes.
"I want to stay in the room next to hers."
Everyone stared at them speechlessly.
The first request sounded incredibly difficult.
However, it seemed somewhat normal after they had heard Jared's second request.
‘Mobile Armors with double the combat power that can also be mass produced? Dream on.If success could be achieved so easily, we wouldn't be stagnant for this many years" they thought.
Among all of the people present, only Merry had what it took to possibly fulfill Jared's request.
However, Merry frowned slightly.
‘Optimizing the Mobile Armor isn't an issue.The real issue is: how will I get my brothers to collect all of the blueprints? And how will I upgrade the basic data?’ she wondered.
Regardless, she did not want to be looked down on by Jared.
Merry gritted her teeth and turned to the crowd.
Everyone was looking at her with anticipation.
"I'll do my best," she said slowly.
Merry subconsciously knew that Elijah would let her take on the responsibility, so she answered to get him to agree to the collaboration.
Meanwhile, Elijah did not question them at all.
While Jared's first request was a little challenging for them, he sighed in relief once he saw Nicole's calm expression.
‘I don't have to worry much when Nicole's here.The second request is simple.There's an empty room next to Nicole's; we'll have to tidy up the room and let him move in.But Carlisle...I can't force Nicole if she isn't interested in him"
At this thought, he looked at Jared and said without hesitation, "No problem."
Eber and Simon looked at their brother in shock.
‘Elijah and Merry have the guts to take on such an unattainable task! Is this a joke?' they wondered.
