Ch. 611..615: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 611-615
Chapter 611
Nicole looked at him and frowned gently. “His name is Jared.”
Carl looked at her; the difference in her attitude was so pronounced that he was almost in despair. “Why can’t it be me?” His face was a little pale with a sense of fragility. “We’ve been partners for so many years, and you should be well aware of my feelings for you. I would like to know why it can’t be me.”
Nicole looked at Carl calmly, as if not surprised by what he said. “Carl, you know me.” Her upturned eyes were beautiful yet cold, with a look of calmness. “I like someone, or I don’t. I will not hide or back down and don’t want to affect you. If you think my personal relationship has affected our partnership, I’ll leave after I’ve settled the thing, and we won’t be in touch again.”
With that, she looked at Carl, who was in disbelief. She was quietly waiting for his response. Carl forced a smile, not expecting Nicole to say such a thing to him. ‘That’s not what I mean.’ “Nicole, we’ve known each other for over ten years. Are you going to leave me over this?” He asked, feeling upset. “Don’t you really think of me as a brother?” 1 Nicole looked at him calmly. “I wouldn’t have said something like that had I not treated you as a true brother.” She knew that keeping it ambiguous would hurt Carl even more, eventually.
Carl looked stunned and seemed to have figured out what Nicole meant. He remained silent for a long moment while Nicole waited patiently. Noticing Nicole look him in the eyes, a bright smile returned to his face. “I got it, Nicole. The camaraderie between us is something that matters to me, and I don’t want to give it up. I’m happy to keep our relationship as it is.” Nicole nodded, looking at Carl, who had quickly thought it through, with a faint smile in her eyes. “Good.”
‘Carl is still excellent; there is no need for him to head into a blind alley with her.’
There was a fleeting look of dejection in Carl’s eyes as he could tell what was on Nicole’s mind. But he quickly raised his eyes and handed the thing in his hand to Nicole.
“This is my drawing. Could you take a look at it?” he said excitedly.
Nicole looked at his design drawing and raised her eyebrows in appreciation. “This design is very innovative.” She casually pulled a piece of paper and did some number crunching, then changed a few incorrect numbers on the drawings, and then handed it back to Carl. “You can now design and build your baby.”
Carl felt a little excited upon hearing her affirmative reply. Nicole’s approval was a boost of confidence to him. He clenched his fists and looked Nicole in the eyes as if he was making a promise. “I will get first place.”
I looking at him, she always knew that this partner of hers was extraordinarily capable. So she nodded her head and said, “I believe in you.”
Carl’s frustration of being rejected vanished, and he happily emerged from Nicole’s room and walked toward his, not noticing that Vera was looking at him from the stairwell.
Chapter 612
Vera was coming up for Carl and was excited to stop him. But when she saw him coming out of Nicole’s room, her face changed instantly. ‘Nicole is seducing Carl again!’ she thought, clenching her fingers, barely holding up a smile.” Carl!” she called out in a sweet voice.
Carl heard someone calling him and looked back toward the staircase. When he saw Vera stop at the landing on the second floor, an impatient look flashed in his eyes.
“What?”
Vera was happy that Carl finally looked at her. She reservedly walked up to Carl and said shyly, “Carl, how is your preparation for the robotic competition?”
Carl instinctively felt uncomfortable when Vera called him by his affectionate name. He looked coldly at Vera and said, “Everything goes as planned. One more thing, call me Carlisle.”
He was not used to being called that name by someone not too close.
Vera’s face turned pale upon hearing his harsh reply. She looked at Carl and said stutteringly,” I-I’m sorry, Carlisle. I-I heard that girl call you Carl yesterday, that’s why I….” She wanted to test if she could close the distance between the two of them, but Carl had heartlessly rejected her.
Vera looked down in embarrassment, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes. She then looked up again at Carl with a pitiful expression. “Please don’t you get mad at me, Carlisle.”
Carl looked at her coldly and did not know her intentions at all. “My relationship with Nicole isn’t something you can compare with.”
Then he looked impatiently at the poser-like Vera and said indifferently, “I will go first if nothing else.” Looking at his indifferent attitude and hearing his insults, Vera could no longer maintain her smile. Her desperation overpowered her shame, and she immediately stood in his way when Carl turned away to leave.
“Carlisle, Aunt Merry has rejected my design, and there are only three days left before the robotic competition. Can you help me?”
Carl looked at Vera; he did not remember that their relationship was close enough for him to help her. So he cocked an eyebrow and said, “I’m sorry, but this is your own business, and I have my own things to be busy with. Good luck.” Without giving Vera another chance, he turned around and went straight into his room.
Vera’s face contorted as Carl shut the door mercilessly. She clenched her fists and took a deep breath, barely maintaining her expression without crashing. She then slowly turned and went downstairs with a proud expression on her face.
Those young girls who were not qualified to go up to the second floor were waiting anxiously on the first floor Seeing Vera slowly walking down, they all gathered around her and asked what was going on.
Vera let out a sweet and reserved smile with a hint of pride on her face.
Chapter 613
“Aunt Merry is happy with me, and Carlisle has given me a lot of encouragement,” Vera said.
Everyone around her looked at her with envy.
They also wanted to get close to the direct descendants of the family, but those people were out-of- reach. They realized that they had no chance, and only Vera could stand out with her extraordinary talent. The rest of them could simply forget about it. But they still loved to listen to Vera’s stories.
At this time, a brown-haired girl asked Vera cautiously, “Do you know what Nicole is doing? The chief agrees with everything she says, and the CEO of the JJ Johnston Group seems to treat her very nicely. Who is she, really?”
Vera’s expression froze upon hearing Nicole’s name. She looked back at the girl. “What comes from selling one’s body won’t last long. What more can she do when she doesn’t even understand a thing about robots? Even if the chief and Carlisle liked her, she is nothing but just eye candy.”
There was a fleeting look of disdain on Vera’s face. Those girls around her felt that she had a point, and they all verbally attacked Nicole, thinking that Nicole had stolen Vera’s position and had even seduced Carlisle.
A look of disgust flashed on Vera’s face as she listened to those words of condemnation against Nicole. She honestly thought she was the only one who deserved Carl, and she would come down on anyone who snatched Carl from her and stood in her way like a ton of bricks. Surrounded by the girls, Vera slowly returned to her room, where she started to re-study her own drawing creation.
Two days later, Elijah stood at the entrance of the manor, stunned to see the chromium raw material being continuously transported in, almost piled up into a hill. He looked at Jared with surprise, and then
his expression turned solemn as he sincerely thanked Jared.
Faced with raw material shortages, Elijah had been refused help from the Intercontinental Party, who was unwilling to take out their inventory to help the family they were trying to suppress. But Jared did it without batting an eyelid.
Jared looked at the man with the gray sideburns and said nothing. Janus, who was beside Jared, looked at Elijah and took a gentle step forward. “You don’t need to thank us; we just did what we had to do. After all, this is also a deal between us. JJ Johnston Group delivered the goods a little slow because of the explosion earlier.” With that, he returned to stand silently behind Jared
Jared smiled at Elijah, looked at his grateful look, and said languidly, “Is this enough?”
With such a large quantity of precious metal flowing into his manor, Elijah looked at Jared and nodded slowly. ‘It’s more than enough.’
He then called everyone out and let them choose the material themselves. With no interest in taking part, Jared turned to leave.
Suddenly, a woman called out from behind him. “Wait a second, Mr. Johnston.”
Jared did not look back upon hearing the voice. “May I help you?”
Merry saw Jared’s haughty attitude and was a little upset. But the pleasure of talking to men still got the better of her. She quickly walked over to Jared and looked greedily at his stunning face. “I will definitely meet your requirements and produce the best robots.”
Chapter 614
Merry spoke with extra confidence but had no idea that she was completely talking to herself. Jared looked at the conceited woman with impatience flashing in his eyes. He then said with a faint, distant look, “You stopped me just to say this?” Merry was startled upon hearing what Jared said, thinking that Jared’s request for the robot was aimed at hers.
After all, she was the best mechanical engineer in the Turmann family. So she told herself that maybe the man gave her this attitude because he wanted to motivate her. So she looked at Jared with a determined look in her eyes. “I just want to tell you that I’ll try to achieve what you want.”
Merry had thought that Jared would be very touched to hear what she said and that he would spare her a glance. But Jared just looked up languidly with indifference in his mesmerizing eyes before he hurried outside. Then she heard his grim voice saying, “You don’t have to.”
Merry’s eyes widened, and she looked upset as Jared left. But she quickly closed her turquoise eyes to calm herself down.
‘I can’t blame him,’ she murmured in her mind. ‘It is the girl named Nicole who has seduced him. That’s why he treats me like this. It must be Nicole who taught him to be indifferent to me. There was a vicious look flashing in her eyes, and her hands slowly clenched into fists.’ When the robot competition is over, and I have time to deal with that girl, she will regret seducing the man I like.! 1.
Merry’s icy look just stayed for a fleeting second before she quickly walked toward the pile of raw material. Other people quickly gave way, leaving this lady of the Turmann family to pick her choice first.
The chromium element that Jared had sent over was extremely pure and had almost no defects. Merry looked at the things with satisfaction and asked the servants to carry the pile of materials she had selected to the workshop and start making her own robots.
The rest waited until she had gone far before they picked their choices. Carl finally arrived. He was fascinated watching Nicole modify the data for a while earlier. Now he saw the material and had only taken a part of it to the workshop.
He never put on airs like Merry did. The others followed him and had also chosen what they wanted. Elijah watched and felt pleased as everyone was hurrying to their workshops.
Vera hurriedly followed Carl, but Carl ignored her. The workshop that he had chosen soon closed automatically behind him, shutting Vera outside the door. She stomped her feet in anger, chose the workshop next door to Carl’s, and walked in.
Elijah watched the crowd dismiss before he heard footsteps coming from upstairs. He looked up and saw Nicole slowly walk downstairs.
“He delivered this?” Nicole asked.
Elijah nodded, Nicole had always been the last to pick her material, and he was used to it.
Elijah looked a little worried at the remaining chromium element. “Isn’t this hard enough?” he asked
Nicole looked at the chromium metal, picked up a piece, and gently flicked it with her fingers.
When she heard the raw metal sound, she raised an eyebrow with interest. “It’s alright.”
Chapter 615
Nicole lackadaisically took the large piece of chromium metal toward the underground forging room instead of the workshop.
Elijah looked at her back, shaking his head, and laughed.
Thinking of the process of making the Dodge Tomahawk, Nicole did not choose the purest chromium but its alloy, which created the most powerful miracle; She was probably doing the same thing now.
He turned and was just about to walk upstairs when he saw from the corner of his eye the door open, and Simon’s ugly face appeared.
Simon stood in the doorway, seemingly infuriated. He calmed himself down and then saw the material in front of him, much to his chagrin, as if he secretly hated himself for returning too late that all the good materials that had been taken. But soon, as if thinking of something, he had a disdainful look on his face. He figured when he had a new-generation robot, he would not have to face these manufacturing processes he had no talent for
Elijah watched his expression change and asked, “Where have you been? Why did you come back so late?”
Simon was startled by his voice. He glanced up and saw his eldest brother standing there, staring at him.
Simon smiled stiffly and felt awkward.
“Nothing. I just went out for a walk.” In fact, he had just gone to hasten Rhein.
Elijah did not pursue the question but signaled with his eyes that he could choose the material he liked. Simon acknowledged, symbolically walked to the pile of material, casually selected some, then asked the servants to carry it.
Elijah saw his insouciance, and a cold look flashed in his eyes. “I’m expecting a good result from you, Simon.”
Simon did not expect his eldest brother to say such a thing. He was stunned for a moment, but he quickly snapped back and smiled. “Don’t worry, Elijah. I will do my best.” “Good to hear that.” Elijah gave him a meaningful look. Then he turned and went upstairs, leaving Simon alone with a nervous look on his face.
Could it be that my deal with Rhein has been exposed? Impossible. If so, Elijah would have killed me instead of encouraging me to the competition.’
Simon was confused, but he was really into the robotic competition-in fact, he was disdainful of it. ‘I don’t need to listen to the brat and make a second-generation robot because I’m about to get the most powerful robot ever.’ There was pride in his eyes at the thought of this. Instead of entering the workshop, he sat outside quietly, waiting for the good news from Rhein,
But after a long while, he still did not get a reply from Rhein. So he walked into the workshop, only to see another person walk unhurriedly toward the workshop.
Simon looked at the person with curiosity, wanting to know who was so gutsy, only to start production now. ‘I can wait so late because I know what I’m doing. But that person starting production so late could only rely on the forging ability. Could that person be my fourth sister?
In Simon’s mind, only his fourth sister may barely possess this ability. When he poked his head out to take a look, he found it was Nicole instead.
