Ch. 656..660: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 656-660
Chapter 656
‘This entire mess is because of Simon's greed, and now he is the one feeling wronged?"
Simon looked at her.Her words were piercing, and he could not refute what she said.
'I've divulged so much because of her question; she could at least show me some gratitude!’
“Why must they back me into a corner?"
Simon got up; his eyes reddened as he wanted to say something to Nicole.
At that time, he wanted to stretch across the table to grab Nicole's clothes, yet the moment he was about to touch her, he suddenly sensed a sharp chill that was so terrifying it was as if he had taken another step forward.He would be losing his hand.
Simon looked up and saw Jared by Nicole's side.He was leaning lazily against the chair, playing with a dagger in his hand.
It was that same dagger that decapitated the monster earlier! Cold sweat started to form all over his head.
The man beside Nicole had always given him a harmless feeling that he, for a moment, forgot how brutal his blows were and how inhumanly strong he was.
Simon immediately froze as he looked at Jared and started shivering uncontrollably, not even daring to withdraw his hand.
Janus looked at Simon and sensed the chilly vibe coming from Jared.He immediately stood beside Nicole to support her.He then coldly said, "What were you thinking of doing there?"
Simon's face turned pale.He gave Janus' neurotic smile a nervous glance before fleeing outside.
‘That attitude of his is quite intriguing"
Nicole gave Jared a thoughtful look, and he shot a smile back at her.It was only then did she look away and got up as she went upstairs.
Jared, however, gently hooked in fingers, motioning for Janus to act before getting up and following behind Nicole.
Elijah looked at the two and was a little startled.His subordinates were holding down the blueprint Nicole had sent over, and Jared did not make any demands from him.
'Perhaps Nicole had already told him"
Eber came to his side and whispered.
"Brother, do you think the two of them can deal with this matter?"
Elijah put the blueprint in his hand down as he looked assuredly at the direction the two had left and said, "I don't know about the others, but Nicole, she's a woman of her words."
Eber nodded.He believed Elijah, and after witnessing the strength Nicole had displayed this morning, he had to admit that he had gradually developed a trust in Nicole as well.
It was the type of trust where disaster would surely pass if she was there.
Elijah, seemingly recalling something, turned to Eber and frowned.
"Things are still not yet settled.Go and drag Simon back.Otherwise, we'll be on the back foot again if we were to have another confrontation."
Eber nodded and made a phone call to gather his men.He then gave his watch a glance before leaving with his men in tow with a serious look on his face.
Elijah looked at the blueprint before him and let out a soft sigh before turning to the servant behind him and saying, "Go and look for Carl."
‘Ever since that boy found out about Nicole and Jared's relationship, he seemed very reluctant to show up at home.God knows where he has gone to"
Yet, Carl's voice rang out behind him, sounding somewhat flaccid.
"Dad, you're looking for me?"
Chapter 657
Elijah squinted as he looked at his son before disappointedly slapping the blueprint into the latter's face as he said, "Go to the foundry and get the first batch out ASAP! If there're any flaws in them, just you wait!"
Carl gave him a slothful response before turning around and walking outside.
Yet, his eyes earnestly scanned through every corner of the blueprint.
The blueprints Nicole personally drew had always been terrifyingly accurate.
This batch also probably required her to design the data chip herself.
Elijah slowly raised his head and looked at the gradually darkening sky.He then recalled the words Elijah told him after Nicole had rejected him.
"The Turmann family owes Nicole far too much.Even if she had rejected you, you must still be by her side.Even if she does not require your protection, you must still ensure that she is safe and sound."
When Carl thought of this, his hand holding the blueprint grasped tightly.
‘Yeah, without Nicole, there would be no Turmann family."
‘What am I doing feeling dissatisfied for?’ Jared and Nicole returned to their room.
For the past two days, they had no chance to use the room together.
The two were always separated during time off work and rest, so even if they were to use the same bed, there was no opportunity for them to share it.
It just so happened today that the both of them had no business to attend to, so Nicole lazily leaned by the window as she raised her eyebrows and looked at Jared, who was seated facing her and asked.
"Out with it.What happened today?"
When Jared saw her like this, a smile appeared in his eyes.He was sitting very naturally opposite her, but due to both of them having long legs, Nicole actually felt a little cramped as they sat before the huge French window.
Seeing the man facing her showing a frown of dissatisfaction, the latter then went to her side and casually pulled her into his arms.He gently rubbed his chin over her head before finally replying with some satisfaction.
"When I got there just at the nick of time, Rhein and Simon were already locked inside the villa.It's Sliver's usual MO.I'm sure there's a gulf between the three of them now.”
Nicole nodded.
She adjusted her position to allow her to lean into his arms more comfortably before motioning him to continue.
When he spoke again, an incomprehensible cheer appeared in the man's voice.
"I've ordered Janus to personally contact the Intercontinental Party.Sliver's performance has been poor of late, and he's not even smart about it as a blade.With him failing against me so many times, I suppose the top brass must be very dissatisfied with him."
If Janus was here, he would definitely be excited to tell Nicole about Sliver's flubbing.
After all, when the Federals previously destroyed some of Boss’ resources back then, he smacked them so hard that they spat everything out in restitution, and he even made a fortune out of it.
‘What kind of brain does this man even have?’
Upon hearing Jared's words, Nicole could imagine Sliver's grim, livid face.
When she was in the organization, he was the same as well.
Everything he did was for his personal benefit, and if something went wrong, he would thoroughly snap.
"Sliver even wanted to represent the Federals to negotiate with me." Jared chuckled, his voice extremely clear.
Yet when it rang by her ear side, it sounded extremely alluring.
"He actually thinks he's fit for that?"
Chapter 658
When Nicole heard that, her eyes dimmed somewhat.She then turned towards Jared, with the look of "good job" in her eyes.
Jared knew what she was thinking as he looked at her.
Looking at her delicate face, a surge of emotions welled in his eyes.
Nicole was just too cute in his eyes.
Many times, he had to fully suppress his desire to kiss her with all his might.
Like now...
Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, a curious look appeared in Nicole's eyes.She turned towards Jared.
The man suddenly covered her eyes.He eagerly bit onto her lips and rubbed against them gently for a while.
He wanted to do it gently as he pecked her lips again and again, then came the powerful deep kiss, not giving her any chance to react.
Nicole was forced to take the kiss.
The man's noble and cold scent rushed to the tip of her nose.
Even though it was a clean smell, it felt extremely invasive after a while.It was like a beast finally having its facade cracked, yet she did not refuse him at all.
She simply just closed her eyes.
The forest after the rain became misty, and the fog slowly rose, yet there was also a much truer side to it.It was no longer only fresh and natural; it was also scarred and fraught with danger.
Nicole was slowly opening herself up to him, and so was he.
The two kissed for a long while, and by the time Jared let go of her, it was already dark.
Only a few faint afterglows of twilight shone into the room, and as he looked at her, his eyes radiated both love and restraint.
Love meant possession, and love meant fighting with himself and restraining himself to protect her.
Looking at Nicole with a gentle gaze, he slowly said, "You're a kind person, Nicole, but I'm not."
He placed her hand on his face.
The rare coldness on it contrasted with the warmth of the palm.
"If I'm not as immaculate and perfect as your love, or if I'm much more sinister, dirtier than you had imagined, will you still choose meas you do right now?"
Jared looked deeply at Nicole, his eyes gleaming.His entire person felt like an ephemeral yet beautiful dream floating in mid-air.He was unable to fall, yet he could not bear the anxiety of hiding his true self either.He gave Nicole a look of a person who had gone all in as his hair dropped down.
They were words that were gloomy and sad, yet he said them so smoothly and calmingly.
Nicole looked at him and smiled.
"How many times do you want me to confirm that, hmm?"
She took the lead and placed both her hands on Jared's cheek, pulling herself up to kiss his face, kiss his beautiful eyes, kiss his tall nose, and then finally, kiss his pale lips.
Jared, in her eyes, was like the most beautiful landscape painting, with just the right shade, with nary a stroke, not a beauty engraved upon her heart.
Jared stood still.
Ever since the moment, Nicole said that he was like a statue, his expression totally retracted as he just looked at her.
"There is no truly good person in this world." She said cryptically.
Yet, in Jared's ears, her words were like the sweetest mead.
"I can heal and also kill.I can be extremely stubborn for the things I stand for."
"I don't know when I made you feel so insecure."
Nicole had finally completed her masterpiece.As she looked at Jared, she slowly let out a clear smile.
Chapter 659
"I know who I fell in love with.So no matter what happens, I will love you," Nicole said with a deep gaze.
"No one can tell me if I can or cannot choose you.Only I know if I made the right choice, and there's no turning back when I do."
At this time, Jared's heart was beating faster and faster.He could not hold it in any longer.He pressed against Nicole with his lower body and began kissing her passionately.
Nicole was flustered.
Nobody had ever wanted her like this before.
But Jared forced himself to stop.
"Jared..."
"Get some rest.I've got to go."
"Oh..."
Nicole did not understand why Jared had to leave.She thought he was mad.
But all she could do was bite her lips.She still did not know how to butter a man up.She felt disappointed when she saw Jared leave, but she quickly shook her head.
‘Why are you disappointed, Nicole? Did you actually want him to continue?' She thought to herself.
The next day, the Turmann family held a family meeting to announce Simon's execution, while the Thorne family suffered huge losses because of the monster.
Moreover, the Throne family had a fallout with the Intercontinental Party.So, they lost the ability to fight back.
The Turmann family waited for their opportunity to fight back and gained the upper hand in a day with Jared's help.
"Thank you, Mr.Johnston," Elijah said when he waited upon Jared.
‘Nicole really is the lucky star of the Turmann family.She had brought Jared to cooperate with us against the Intercontinental Party and the Thorne family at such a critical time.We would not have done it without him" he thought.
"Well, my wife's the boss," Jared replied as he smiled at Nicole.
This statement made a few people uncomfortable, especially Carl, who was standing behind Elijah.
Then, Elijah returned to his senses and said, "Thank you, Nicole.We couldn't have done it without both of you."
"Oh, it's nothing.After all, Carl and I are friends," Nicole said and smiled at Carl.
“Carl was down in the dumps these few days, but his sadness disappeared when he saw Nicole's smile.Yes, it doesn't matter what type of relationship we have as long as she's by my side, right?" he thought
Chapter 660
Things were coming to an end.
Nicole had not talked to her family much these few days, but her elder brother still sent a message in the mornings.
‘Mom and dad must be worried" she thought.
She then turned to Carl and Elijah and said, "I'll leave the follow- up to you.There are still matters I need to attend to at school."
Eber and the others looked at each other in dismay when they heard Nicole's words.
‘Why does a genius like her need to go to school?’ they thought.
"Okay, I'll send someone to drive you," Elijah said.
"There's no need for that.I've prepared a private jet.We'll go back in an hour," Jared replied with a smile.
He looked at Carl when he said those last few words as if to provoke anger.
Carl ignored him and turned to Nicole, "I'll be back in a few days after everything here is settled."
The family matter has not been fully resolved, so Carl could not leave yet.
Though, he would go with her in a heartbeat if everything was under different circumstances.
"You better stay here, Carl.You will be a target if you go back after this," Nicole said solemnly while everyone fell silent.
Carl was the head of the house's son, but he rarely appeared in public in the past.
This time, it would be different.Although the Thorne family had been suppressed for now, Carl would be their target once they regain their strength.
"It would be best if you followed the arrangement."
Nicole had once exposed Carl's whereabouts when she answered his call rashly, but she will not make that mistake again.Carl felt helpless.He could only lower his head and say, "Okay..."
After Nicole felt reassured, she nodded and said, "I've got to go now.Don't worry.We'll see each other soon."
"Okay..."
Carl knew that they would meet again, but he was heartbroken to see Jared and her leaving together.
Everyone began to say their goodbyes to Nicole and left after she and Jared got into the car.
Elijah did not know what to say when he saw the disappointment plastered across Carl's face.So, he thought it would be best for Carl to figure it out on his own.
Nicole and Jared were back in the country in less than half a day with the private jet.
As she got off the plane, she yawned.
"Still sleepy?" Jared asked with a smile on his face.
‘She was asleep the entire trip, but she's still sleepy?’ he thought.
"Well, I didn't get much sleep last night.I was up making improvements in the blueprints for the Turmann family," she replied.
Jared felt for her after he heard that.He reached out his hand to pat her head and said, "It breaks my heart to see you so exhausted. Nicole felt a warm sensation in her heart.”
‘When did this unaffectionate guy become such a romantic?"
She then looked back at him and said, "Aren't you mad anymore?"
"When was I mad?"
Jared frowned as he did not know what she was talking about.Nicole thought of what happened yesterday and felt a little embarrassed.
"Umm...When you left the room yesterday..."
Jared immediately understood what she meant.He then smiled playfully and whispered something into her ears.
Nicole blushed.She did not know where to look.
"Stop talking nonsense," she said.
‘When did he become like this?’
"I'm not.What can I do when my wife is this attractive?"
He teased.
Nicole rolled her eyes and said, "Stop it.We're home.Don't scare my parents."
