Ch. 686..690: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 686-690

Chapter 686

After saying that, she moved her piece to the square before Sammey could stop her.

He felt miserable at seeing that Nicole was going to be at a disadvantage. But he knew he could not blame her; she just wanted to help him. Besides, he thought she was still a little girl, and it was normal that she had not played Monopoly before.

‘It’s all Nathan’s fault.’

Sammey and others looked at Nathan with hatred in their eyes.

Nathan did not care what they thought. He looked at Nicole’s move and smiled like a Cheshire cat.

‘What a fool she is,’ he thought.

Claus was stupefied , even though he had known Nicole better during this time. Nicole was still young, but she had shown that she knew what she was doing all this while. So he did not expect that she would be so naive and rose to the bait when provoked.

‘She is too reckless without thinking about the consequences. She is hopelessly stupid.’

He could not bear to look at her further. Claus felt even more depressed when he saw Jared was not bothered at all.

‘Please , boss. Nicole is taking your money and trying to be a hero.’

Jared smiled upon seeing Nicole’s confident look.

‘This girl is superb at acting.’

Claus had no words when he saw the smile on Jared’s face. He could not help but turn to Max. He had to find someone to talk to, or he would be likely to get depression.

But Max looked like he also believed in Nicole and did not bother with Claus. Nicole had made her move, landing on a square and looking at the stunned dealer. “Can I buy this property?”

Leon looked at Nicole’s face and was stupefied . “Okay, you may buy it, but it has no investment value.”

Nathan burst into laughter, wondering if Nicole was dumb, that she was probably too scared to land on his property and pay the rent that she was willing to buy worthless property.

Nicole bought it anyway. It was Nathan’s turn to roll the dice. He secretly prayed in his mind. When the dice turned out to be a five, he broke into a smile.

The dealer was obviously still helping him to land on a good piece of property. He bought it with no hesitation and added it to his portfolio. As long as Nicole landed on his property, she would have to pay him rent.

But Nicole looked nonchalant. She rolled the dice, and the result stunned everyone. They all could not believe that the dice would be a six with just a casual shake of her hand. 2

‘Luck is on her side this time. But how come she got a three in the last round?’

Nathan looked at dice with a six and was exasperated. His face collapsed suddenly as he looked at the dealer as if asking what was going on.

The dealer did not dare to look at him. No one knew that when he dropped the dice just now, he had already adjusted it to a two so that Nicole would land on Nathan’s property and have to pay rent. To his surprise, when Nicole revealed the dice, it was a six, and she successfully skipped Nathan’s property.

But everyone saw Nicole did not cheat. So Leon had to let Nicole pass through, and she landed on another good piece of property. “Oh God, this is going to be a game-changer.” Sammey was pleasantly surprised that Nicole had landed on a good piece of property so quickly.

 

Chapter 687

Nicole looked at the table expressionlessly and reached out to move her piece.

There was no apparent emotion on her face, but her gaze at Nathan was surprisingly cold, which was the complete opposite of her impulsive behavior when she agreed to the bet earlier.

The dealer retrieved the dice. Nathan thought that he had occupied two vantage points, and there was no need to worry too much, so he confidently drew two chance cards at random.

After checking that the chance cards of the two had not been revealed, the dealer first walked to Nathan’s side and held out his hand with a white glove to open the cards.

All eyes were on the two cards as they were slowly revealed. One was a rent hike card, the other a card that slashed the opponent’s asset values by twenty percent, which was simply godsent. Nathan almost jumped for joy. He looked at his chance cards and guffawed, “My two properties appreciated by thirty percent. Let’s see how you’re going to beat me.”

Sammey’s face turned pale upon seeing this result. He had hoped that Nathan would draw some less powerful cards so that Nicole would have a better chance of winning. But now, both cards were in Nathan’s favor; Sammey was utterly disappointed.

Surprise had faded from the faces of others. They could hardly bear to look at the chance cards that Nicole had drawn. After all, Nathan had drawn two good cards, and the odds of all four cards in a round being good were tiny.

One of Sammey’s underlings tried to comfort Nicole. “It’s okay, boss. We haven’t lost yet. The fact that you dare to take up the challenge is an accomplishment.”

Another guy also said, “Yeah, boss. It is okay. This is just your first try.” Jared raised an eyebrow upon hearing what they said. ‘I didn’t know that these guys were so concerned about Nicole.’

Claus had also seen Nathan’s chance cards. He did not bother to say anything but smirked and turned to look at Max, whose expression was still extremely stony.

Likewise, Nicole still looked nonchalant as the dealer walked over to reveal her chance cards.

Nathan was already going crazy with excitement. He excitedly locked his eyes on Nicole’s cards and waited for the dealer to reveal her cards and then announce his victory.

But the dealer looked anxious, as he felt Nicole was intimidating. She was sitting there leisurely, but her pair of fearsome, upturned eyes were sending chills up his spine. She looked at ease as if everything was under control.

The dealer felt more and more nervous because of her stare. His hand was trembling as he revealed her cards.Meanwhile , Nicole was just looking on nonchalantly as her chance cards were revealed.

“What is this?”

“This is…”

Sammey was thinking of giving up at first. But he looked up when he heard those whispers . A look of incredulity spread across his face when he saw Nicole’s chance cards.

One was a market crash card that would slash property prices in half, which was expected. There would be a bad card issued to the players in each round, but a market crash card that reduced property values by half was the worst of all bad cards. This card had practically wiped out the advantage of Nicole’s starting capital, which doubled that of Nathan’s. Not only that, but one of Nathan’s chance cards would also slash her property values by a further 20%.

Considering all this, Nicole really had a bad day today. She was destined to lose. But just when Sammey had lost all hopes, he saw the other card and was utterly snocked.

“T-This is an exchange card?”

Chapter 688

Everyone was stunned at hearing that.The dealer almost trembled to see the two cards. He took a deep breath and looked at Nicole’s cards again.

“There’s nothing wrong with that, one bad card, one swap card, and there is only one such card. I can’t be wrong. But I didn’t give Nicole that card; it’s still in my sleeve and will only be given to Nathan if necessary.’

But when he checked his sleeve, there was nothing there.

‘Could it be that she swapped the card out when I dealt the cards? But could this even be possible? I’m professionally trained and could leave no trace at all. But the girl could do it so stealthily without me knowing; her skill is apparently above me.”

The dealer was completely dumbfounded. He looked at Nicole in fright.

The thought of the girl grasping him at the beginning sent a chill up his spine. The dealer calmed down after a moment and said softly, “There is no need to continue with this round of Monopoly; this lady won.”

Nathan looked at the dealer , dumbfounded . “What are you talking about?”

‘Isn’t he the dealer? Why is he speaking for Nicole?’

Nicole smiled and put down the cards in her hand one by one.

When Nathan saw the asset reduction card, he was overjoyed. “Look! Like I’ve said, a yokel like her couldn’t possibly beat me.” Sammey hissed. “Don’t get too happy too soon, Nathan. Look at our boss’s next card.”

Nathan hated it, believing that Sammey was bluffing. “Do you think I will believe that she has got an exchange card? No way.”

‘As long as the dealer is still on my side, he couldn’t have possibly dealt her such a card.!

While Nathan was laughing triumphantly, Nicole revealed her last card. Now he could laugh no more, not expecting Nicole to have the exchange card in her hand.

There was silence. Everyone knew Nathan; he played Monopoly and had almost never lost. But today, he screwed up and was. beaten at his own game by a rookie female player for the first time. “No, I will not lose.” Nathan still did not believe it.

Sammey said triumphantly, “You will undoubtedly lose. Your cards will all belong to our boss; after your asset values are reduced by half, they will further be reduced by twenty percent. What is left?”

Nathan’s starting token was half of that of Nicole’s, and now he had only 10 million left, which was not even enough to buy the next property, which meant he could no longer continue with the game.

“No, it’s impossible.” Nathan’s face changed dramatically, and he looked at the dealer in surprise.” You sold me out. I gave you so much money, yet you dealt her an exchange card?”

Everyone was stunned upon hearing that. No one expected the reason Nathan could keep on winning was that he had bribed the dealer.

The dealer knew he was done for when seeing what unfolded.

He removed the gloves and placed them neatly on the tray, then begged the supervisor. “I cheated guests for him at Table 63. Take me away; I’m taking responsibility for it.”

As long as he was taken away, Nathan could not look for trouble with him.

 

Chapter 689

“Where do you think you’re going?” Nathan wanted to grab the dealer.

The supervisor frowned, stopped Nathan, and then said something into the walkie-talkie. After getting a reply, he took the dealer away. “Bastard, come back. Give me my money back.” But no one gave a damn about him. Everyone who had witnessed the entire episode looked at Nicole in amazement, as if they did not expect things to turn out this way.

Nathan realized he had really lost at the hands of a yokel he despised.

Jared motioned for Max to clean up the scene. Max immediately stepped forward. “You lost, and you said before that if you lost, you would leave San Joto. Now it’s time to keep your promise.”

Sammey and the others were all triumphant as they watched Max instruct the bodyguards to take Nathan away.

‘It’s just a game! Who would take a game seriously? Let go of me!” Nathan sensed something was wrong and tried to run.

Nicole looked on and frowned as Nathan fled. Just when she was about to get up, Claus, who was next to Jared, sprang into action. He lunged out and knocked Nathan to the ground with one punch.

“Are you trying to evade responsibility? Who the hell made a bet with Miss Riddle just now, eh? You deserve all this.”

Nathan lay on the ground, clutching his stomach in pain, looking at Claus with resentment. He had never imagined that even the people around this sugar daddy were so badass.

Soon the club’s personnel arrived and dragged Nathan away, waiting for the Holmes family to redeem him.

Mr. Bond then came out smiling. This time, after greeting Jared, he walked over to and looked at Nicole with respect. “I’m sorry for what happened, Miss Riddle.”

Nicole looked at him and said faintly, “It’s alright, but never let these people who gamble on board games come again.”

Mr. Bond’s smile stiffened; he knew Nicole was warning him that if anyone else came to gamble using board games, his club would be closed down.

Knowing that he could not afford to offend Jared and Nicole , he looked at Nicole with respect. “Yourre right. I will never allow such a person to come to our club again.”

Mr. Bond looked at Jared silently and only breathed a sigh of relief when seeing that Jared did not have an opinion about him.

Knowing what he was trying to say, Nicole glanced up at him. “But today, Nathan and I made a bet that he would leave San Joto tomorrow if he lost. Now it’s up to you to keep an eye on him.” Not only Jared but even Claus, who was rubbernecking with his arms crossed, was shocked.

‘The Holmes family might have declined, but they still have a certain influence. It is difficult to kick the Holmes family out of San Joto. Yet Nicole is making such a demand. She is one hell of a ruthless girl.’

Mr. Bond immediately trained his flattering mouth on Jared. “Mr. Johnston…” Carrying out that demand would put him on the spot. Jared did not even look at him when he said, “Just follow the Super VIP service rules of your club.” Mr. Bond’s face collapsed, but thinking about the one hundred million Jared

had spent, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, “Gotcha! I will handle it. Please enjoy yourselves here, Mr. Johnston, Miss Riddle.”

With that, he could not wait to go backstage and contact the Holmes family. This time, it was Nathan who had messed with Jared’s friend. So he had to deal with the Holmes family and kick them out of San Joto.

Sammey and others eased up after Mr. Bond left. “Boss, did we really win?”

Chapter 690

Nicole glanced at a few of them, stood up, and walked over to Jared, then turned back to them and said, “Since you call me boss, I can’t watch you being bullied.”

With that, he said to Jared, “Thank you.”

‘The VIP membership here should be very expensive, right? Not to mention Super VIP.’Jared looked at her glass-like pupils and said dotingly,” Go home?”

Nicole did not refute it again. She glanced back at Sammey and others and said in a tone that had a rare gentleness in her voice,

‘It’s getting late. Sammey, take them back. Nathan shouldn’t have a chance to come looking for trouble with you all again.”

Sammey and a few others watched her standing with Jared. It seemed that it was this man who came with their boss today, and he really felt that this guy was more than just a café owner.

He looked at Jared and could not help but respect him, and then he thanked Nicole and Jared.

Nicole said no more. She turned and walked toward the outside of the club.

Jared threw the car keys in his hand at Claus and glanced at him lackadaisically. “Max is not there. You drive.”

Claus quickly caught the key and quickly brought the car over. After the two of them got into the car, he started the engine. But because of his excitement, he always reached over and kept asking Nicole about this and that. “Miss Riddle , did you already see that the guy was cheating?”

Jared was taking some shut-eye when he heard the question. He looked up at Nicole as if he also wanted to know the answer. Nicole did not shy away from answering it. “Of course, I did.”

“So, how did you beat him?” “It’s a secret.” Nicole smiled.

Claus was disappointed when he did not get the answer.

Jared smiled. “Claus.”

Claus immediately responded. “Yes, Mr. Johnston?”

Jared looked at him through the rearview mirror with his amorous eyes slightly narrowed. “Keep your mouth shut.” 1

Claus saw the forbidding look in his eyes and shut up at once. Silence instantly fell in the cabin. But he was used to a Jared like this, not the boss who was with Nicole, sometimes. Claus was deep in thought, wondering why Jared treated Nicole so specially. In other words, he was curious about what exactly attracted Jared to Nicole and made him so obsessed with her.

‘There is more to her than meets the eyes.’

Since neither of them said where to go, Claus drove back to Jared’s usual resting place. Nicole got out of the car and looked at Jared with puzzlement.

“We will rest here for the night tonight. I will send you over tomorrow morning.” Jared’s face remained unchanged.

Nicole nodded. Jared lived in a villa near the city, but it was still quiet. She liked the surroundings.

Jared led her through the door to the first floor and pointed out the guest room to her. “That’s your room. You take a shower first, and I will make something to eat.

It had been a long day, and he felt a little hungry.
