Ch. 676..680: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 676-680

Chapter 676

Max looked at the lit screen and then at Jared, who was getting some shut-eye beside him.

From the time he got off the plane in the morning until now, he had not closed his eyes. As soon as he got into the car, the enervation got the better of him and he shut his eyes. So Max did not want to bother him. “We’re on our way and will be there soon,” he said.

In the café, Nicole studied for a while and then reached for the caramel macchiato. She frowned after taking a sip.

‘It’s all the same ingredients , but how does he make it taste so much better?’

Nicole sighed softly as she put the cup back in place and continued studying. She did not touch the cup again until she left the café. After tasting something better, she no longer settled for less.

Claus could not help but feel disappointed when his boss had not arrived, and he felt sorry to keep Nicole waiting. It was not until Nicole had gone far that he came over to clean up the table. But when he picked up the cup, he saw Nicole had barely drunk the coffee, and for a moment, he felt not too happy.

He immediately texted Max on the phone, complaining that Nicole did not respect the fruits of his labor, that she did not appreciate such a delicious coffee, and that she really had a bad taste.

Max was stuck in traffic. Jared’s face had darkened, as black as ink, looking as if he would lose his cool at any time.

He saw the message from Claus and calmly turned the screen off. But his phone still kept vibrating, as if the other side had no way to vent his grouses. Now, even Jared had taken notice.

Max could only calmly tell Jared the truth. “Nicole couldn’t wait and has left.”

Jared’s expression turned gloomy. “It’s okay. She’s gone, but I can go find her.”

Nicole was on her way back. She wondered why Jared had not come as promised. Guessing that he might be busy, so she did not call him. She put on the headphones and listened to the music as she walked back.

Soon, Nicole reached the entrance of the Royal Creek Institute and was about to enter when a security guy with a poor attitude stopped her. “What are you doing? Don’t you know that the school gate is closed after 9:30?”

Nicole hesitated slightly and checked her watch. She did not expect that she had waited for Jared for so long, even passing the school gate closing time.

The security guy looked with disdain at Nicole when he saw a pretty girl dressed up like this come back so late at night.

‘I have seen enough girls like this. They are willing to do anything, hanging out with men all day for money. She’s thinking of entering the campus after it’s passed the school gate closing time? No way!’

The security guy looked at Nicole in disgust and mumbled to himself. “I wonder what’s wrong with college girls nowadays; they all have such poor quality.”

Nicole could have called Mr. Ellison and no one would stop her from entering, but since the rules were there, she did not want to break them.

Glancing indifferently at the security guy, Nicole turned and walked away, intending to go home for the night tonight.

Just then, a black vehicle with a special emblem of a unique flower came from the café’s direction.

When the security guy saw the vehicle approaching , he looked down upon it, as it was not the typical established brands he recognized, but still reluctantly opened the barrier to let it enter the Royal Creek Institute.

The vehicle did not enter immediately but rolled down the window and Jared’s face popped out from the inside. He looked at Nicole and smiled. “Get in the car.”

Seeing that it was Jared, Nicole stopped in her tracks and returned a smile, then got into the vehicle with no hesitation.

The security guy looked on with surprise as the vehicle left in another direction instead of entering the school. As exasperated as he was, there was nothing he could do.

Inside the car, Max secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead when he saw Jared’s face had lit up, which was a rare sight.

Chapter 677

‘Fortunately, Nicole did not get to enter the campus; otherwise, I would have been done for tonight,’ Max thought to himself. Seeing the smile on Jared’s face after seeing Nicole, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Nicole did not know what Max was thinking. After she got into the car, she just rested her arm on the windowsill and said nothing.

Jared looked at Nicole. He could barely see her snow white jaw as her face was in the shade.

He could not help but lean over and asked her gently,” You went to the café to look for me. Why did you leave instead of waiting for me?”

Nicole turned to look at him. There was a rare sense of dilemma on her icy face. “You just returned from abroad, so I guessed you would be busy. Besides, I needed to return to the dormitory because the gate was closed.”

Her thoughtfulness softened Jared’s heart.

“But it was way past the time, and you didn’t get to enter, right?” Jared reached to stroke her hair.

Nicole did not resent it at all. She nodded matter-of factly. “Yeah, thanks to someone; I missed the school gate’s closing time.”

Jared looked at her; she sounded as if she were complaining but looked fearless. He could not help smiling, and his expression became gentler.

His eyes upturned, and he exuded an indescribable charm as he propped a hand to his forehead. “Since you have no place to go because of me, I will take you to go somewhere fun.”

Nicole raised an eyebrow. “Racing again?” She did not want to go because she was tired today.

“Some fun place; not just that one.” He instructed Max to turn the car around and drive out of town.

No one was talking for a while, and the only sound in the cabin was the soft music. Nicole smelled the sandalwood scent on Jared’s body and felt inexplicably at ease. She slowly closed her eyes and enjoyed a rare moment of serenity.

By the time she woke up, the car had stopped, and she found herself leaning against Jared’s shoulder. Nicole was surprised. She just thought of taking some shut-eye, not expecting to call asleep just like that. For ten years, she had not been able to sleep so soundly in front of others. 2

Nicole looked at the extra suit jacket on her body and was bewildered. Grabbing the suit jacket, she looked up at Jared.

“You’re awake.” He was wearing only a shirt, habitually rolling up a section of the cuffs, looking like a hippieish noble prince.

Nicole handed Jared his coat and looked at him. “Thank you.”

Jared cocked a charming eyebrow at her politeness. “Why are you so polite to your boyfriend?”

Nicole looked at him awkwardly. Every time when Jared teased her, she would be at a loss for how to react.

Jared could not help smiling when he saw how nervous she was. He motioned for her to look out the car window and said, “Here we are. Don’t you want to go in?” Nicole followed his eyes and saw two bodyguards at the entrance, which seemed to be that of a clubhouse. She pondered for a second and then said, “Give a second.”

Then she tore her T-shirt from the waist, revealing her fair and slender waist, and then spread her hair, messing it up, making her naturally curly hair look even more fluffy and wild.

Jared looked at her and cocked an eyebrow in surprise.

Chapter 678

Nicole’s eyebrows were extremely beautiful. She had always been dressed casually like a student all this while, but now she suddenly showed a bit of maturity, which made her look even more compelling.

“Let’s go in.” Nicole let out a beguiling smile and got out of the car first. As soon as she stood up, her alluring, perfect waistline was fully exposed.

Her thick, curly hair cascaded down to her waist, swaying as she went, firmly hooking Jared’s eyes as like a hook, and he furrowed his brows gradually.

Nicole heard Jared get out of the car and was about to take his arm to walk inside , she felt something falling on her shoulders. She looked down and saw the same suit jacket that Jared had put over her body before.

Puzzled , she looked at Jared, but he had already walked past her and said in a not-to-questioned tone of voice,” Put it on.”

Nicole hesitated and had no words. She groused in her mind. ‘This guy is really bossy. But since he’s upset that I look too sexy, I will put it on.’ 1

Soon, the two walked together to the entrance, and the two bodyguards did not even bat an eyelid but let them in. The bodyguards felt relieved after the two entered.

“Joe called just now that Mr. Johnston was going to bring a little girl, and I didn’t believe it. Did you see it just now? He didn’t let her show her waist and wanted her to cover it up.”

The other bodyguard nodded. “Judging by Mr. Johnston’s behavior, it is really unusual. But I’ve got a glimpse of her; she is really pretty.” When he took a glimpse of the girl just now, the knife-like look in Jared’s eyes was as if he was going to cut him into pieces.

The first bodyguard said, “But there used to be no women around Mr. Johnston. I thought-“.

The second bodyguard suddenly shot him a look, and only then did he come to his senses with cold sweat breaking out all over his skin, realizing that he should not talk about their boss behind his back.

Nicole was really surprised by where Jared had brought her to; it was San Joto’s most luxurious private club. As soon as she entered , she heard smooth music, singing, and dancing. It was simply a paradise.

She had never been here before, and could not help but lower her voice and ask, “Are there any rules here?”

Private clubs usually had tons of rules which must not be broken. This had to be communicated and understood in advance.

Jared looked at her nonchalant expression, he smiled even more and whispered in her ear. “There are no rules here, and there are all kinds of recreational facilities here, just enjoy yourself.”

Unbeknownst to Nicole and almost at the moment Jared came in, the club owner had got the wind of his arrival and hurried over with his men, just in time to hear the conversation between the two. Hearing Jared say that there were no rules here, the club owner’s mouth twitched, but he did not dare to say anything.

There were many rules here, and those who had broken them had learned their lessons the hard way. But those rules would not apply to Jared.

Johnston group was a key partner of the Bond family this year. During the last joint venture, he sent Jared $1 billion, but Jared did not even bat an eyelid. Such a man was someone he really could not afford to offend.

Mr. Bond came up to Jared and saw that Jared did not even want to spare a glance at him, he quickly greeted him. “Welcome to our club, Mr. Johnston.”

Chapter 679

Only then Jared looked at him and smiled. “Mr. Bond, I’m here today with a friend. Don’t make things so pompous.” Mr. Bond felt a sense of relief and smiled servilely.” Absolutely.” He then looked back and shouted to his men, “Didn’t you all hear what Mr. Johnston said? Get the hell out of here!”

After sending everyone away, he looked back, only to see Jared look at him with a half-smile. He was stunned for a second, and then he let out a flattering smile. “You must be busy, Mr. Johnston. I will leave you to it.”

Nicole took it all in, wondering how Jared could make Mr. Bond so afraid of him, but she asked nothing.

She followed Jared into the club’s central hall, a place filled with extravagance. Unlike the low-key color on the outside, the interior decoration was golden and brilliant with extremely dazzling crystal chandeliers, everything looking classy and grand.

Nicole looked at the hall, which was almost as large as two football fields. The place was alive with music, dance, and a variety of board and VR games, like a game hall for the rich. She had a nonchalant look on her face, but deep down inside, she found this place quite novel.

Jared languidly followed behind her, wanting to see what she was interested in.

Claus came up beside him from nowhere to protect the two. Jared waved his hand at him, and Claus got the hint and kept silent, looking at Nicole from behind with curiosity.

‘Nicole has been looking at these things for some time. Could it be that she doesn’t even know how to play these games?’

Seeing that Jared had no intention of opening his mouth, he took matters into his own hands and walked over to Nicole. Every time Nicole walked to a table, he would explain the gameplay at that table.

“This is Monopoly. The more chips you get in the game, the more you’ll be able to expand the territory on the table,” he said. “I know, while I was abroad, I’ve played something more professional than this.” She was talking about the casino. While in this clubhouse , they were merely board games.

She was not interested in these things and wanted to turn around to leave. But something caught her eyes unexpectedly; she saw someone she knew.

Sitting in one of the seats was none other than Sammey, whom she had met in the cafeteria today. He was unsmiling and looking pale, his face full of sweat.

But all the wealthy kids in San Joto were basically regulars at various clubhouses. Sammey was no exception. He had played countless board games, but for the first time, he lost as badly as he did now.

He looked at his opponent across from him, unsure what tricks the opponent had used to beat him several times in a row, rendering him powerless to fight back. He was extremely nervous to see chips he lost were piling up in front of his opponents.

Nicole felt something was wrong when he saw how nervous Sammey looked. Had this been just a regular board game, Sammey would not be so nervous.

At this point, the player opposite Sammey spoke.” Sammey, you concede defeat now and get down on your knees. Otherwise, transfer a million dollars to my account tomorrow as you have just agreed.”

Sammey’s face was grave; it turned out that Nathan Holmes, the player, had been harassing Vivian, his sister, for the past few days.

They had agreed outside the clubhouse that if Nathan lost, he would never be allowed to harass Vivian again; but if Nathan won, then he would have to give him a million dollars. For the sake of his sister, he must not flinch, and so he agreed.

At first, Sammey won two rounds, but in the last round, Nathan suddenly challenged him to bet one-to- ten. Sammey thought today he had a good hand, plus he was desperate to beat Nathan, gritted his teeth and agreed.

Nathan had been winning consecutively ever since, and had taken most of the territory on the board. The chips piled up in front of him were up to his waist, while Sammey had nothing left in front of him.

Chapter 680

Sammey’s eyes burned with anger as he looked at Nathan , who was sitting across from him with his legs crossed. His pocket money was only a couple of ten grand per month. No way he could come up with $1 million. So he could only continue to gamble to make a turnaround.

But given the proportion of territory on the table, he had little chance to win, no matter how hard he wished. But he had no choice but to continue. “I won’t concede defeat. Let’s play another round.”

Nathan saw that Sammey’s determination and said cynically, “Have you thought through it, Sammey? A million is not a small amount. Do you really want to continue? Is it so hard to get down on your knees to beg for mercy and then introduce your sister to me?”

Nathan’s lewd words made Sammey clench his teeth. His underlings behind him tried to dissuade him, saying,” Stop, Sammey. Think twice as one million is not a small amount.”

“Exactly. If your parents find out, they would definitely be infuriated.”

Sammey heard what his underlings said and thought of giving up, but when he thought of Nathan’s eagerness for Vivian, he could not bring himself to bow to him.

With this thought in mind, he looked at Nathan with icy eyes. “Don’t be too arrogant, Nathan. I will not lose to you.”

He then placed his bet. When Nathan knew he was not giving up, he burst into laughter. “You’re really stubborn, Sammey. Okay, if you want to dance, let’s dance.” He gave the dealer a look. “What are you waiting for? Roll the dice now.”

The dealer got the hint and quickly scooped the dice up into the cup. The dealer was professionally trained, and his hand movement was so quick, his action in one fell swoop, and no one could see what

he was actually doing. But just when he was about to reveal the dice to decide Sammey’s steps, a hand suddenly reached out and pressed on the cup with an index finger.

The hand had fair skin, beautiful slender fingers, and the perfect shape of lunulae on the nails, looking like a piece of art that God had carefully polished.

Moving upwards, one could clearly see that on the slender and fair wrist was a red wristband that was neither too thick nor thin, and the bright red of the wristband contrasted well with her fair skin, so much so that it was almost heart-stoppingly beautiful.

The dealer looked at the hand in front of him with cold sweat popping up on his forehead.

Sammey had been nervously waiting for the dealer to roll the dice for him. He was bowing his head and silently prayed that his chess piece would stop in a favorable position. But at this moment, silence suddenly fell and then followed by Nathan’s sneering laughter. “Who is this yokel so ignorant of the rules? How dare she stop the dealer from rolling the dice? Call your manager; I need an explanation.”

Sammey looked up in shock and saw the back of someone he recognized. ‘Isn’t she Nicole?!

Just that her hair was disheveled, and she was still wearing an ill-fitting men’s coat, but because she was tall enough and in good shape, she did not look strange in the men’s coat, but with a bit of a yuppie..

Not only Sammey, but several people next to him were stunned.

“What are you doing here, boss?”

She came not only to the club but prevented the dealer from rolling the dice, which was a big no-no in the club.

Everyone looked at her with concern in their eyes. Before they could say anything, Nicole looked back and gave them an assuring look.
