Ch. 736..740: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 736-740

Chapter 736

Nicole’s face darkened. “What are you doing, Lloyd?” Lloyd looked worried. “What am I doing, Nicole? I’m taking you to the hospital.”

With that, he ignored everyone else and left the stage with Nicole in his arms.

There was an instant uproar.

“Nicole and Lloyd know each other?” Bradley looked at everyone in surprise. Lloyd, who was his idol, had just called Nicole by her name; the two of them seemed to be close to each other.

Everyone seemed to realize something, looking at each other but not knowing what was going on.

Preston was not at the party last time, so he knew nothing and was surprised by Nicole’s relationship with Lloyd.

Spencer and Samuel could no longer sit still and left their seats, saying goodbye to Stanley and going to see Nicole.

The most surprised person at the scene was Anna and the director team. Little did they know Lloyd would openly carry Nicole away despite the crowd’s presence. It would cause a publicity nightmare if the news got out.

At present, what they could do was appease the audience and post a statement online as a preemptive measure.

Meanwhile, Nicole, who had just been carried out into the lobby by Lloyd, could not wait to break free of his arms.

Nicole landed nimbly. She pressed a hand to her wound and glared back at Lloyd. “You’ve crossed the line.”

One rule in their organization was that as much as they were partners and comrades-in-arms, outside of the organization, they must not contact each other openly. Lloyd was now a movie star, a public figure; his action just now was too impulsive.

“I don’t have time for this. What’s more important is to take you to the hospital.” Lloyd looked worried.

Nicole snorted. “Have you forgotten who I am? A medical doctor. Does anyone have better medical skills than I do?”

Hearing this, Lloyd immediately realized that he was really reckless.

“I have a first-aid kit in my car; there is everything you want.” He quickly led the way to his car.

Nicole said coldly, “That won’t be necessary. You’re now a movie star; we should keep a distance from each other.” With that, she spun around. “I will go to the infirmary. Don’t follow me again.”

Her inexorability stopped Lloyd in his tracks. He did not dare to follow her. He knew Nicole’s temperament well; she meant what she said. If he followed her, she might really hit him. Not that he was afraid of getting hurt. He did not want to aggravate her injury. So Lloyd gritted his teeth and stayed where he was.

Anna had come out. “Lloyd, what’s wrong with you? There are so many people watching, are you going to ignore the media and public opinion?”

Lloyd calmed down. “I’m sorry. I was just too desperate.”

Upset, Anna put a hand to her forehead. “Alright, get out of here first. Otherwise, if you get caught by the media, we will have problems answering questions. Wait until you get back to see Nachelle.”

Lloyd could only follow her into the car and leave.

When Nicole arrived at the infirmary, Spencer and Samuel, Bradley, Lulu, June, Gary, Jack, and Wayne had also arrived and jammed up the entire infirmary.

Nicole wanted to treat the wound herself, but she was afraid that they would be surprised and ask questions. So she let the school doctor bandage it, and she would treat it with special ointment when she returned home.

“Doctor, how’s my sister?” Samuel asked worriedly. “Will it leave a scar?”

The doctor in the infirmary nodded. “The wound is deep. I’m afraid that there will be a scar.”

The two siblings were distressed and glanced back at Gary.

They had seen clearly that had Nicole not turned back to save Gary, she could have entirely avoided the falling light fixture.

Gary looked at Nicole with a remorseful face. “I’m sorry. You got injured because of me.”

 

Chapter 737

He also heard a strange noise at that time, but because he was afraid of affecting the performance, he did not dare to open his eyes.

“It’s alright.” Nicole glanced at him. “I don’t blame you for this. This could be sabotage.”

“A sabotage?” Everyone was shocked. Lulu hurriedly said, “Was it Vivian again?” She could not help but think, ‘Vivian is so horrible. She targets Nicole at every turn.”

Nicole shook her head. “I don’t think she did this. She would not have the guts to go backstage again after she was driven away.”

“Who was it then?” June was also curious. She suspected it was Raine, but during their performance, the two sisters were offstage.

Gary saw everyone was silent, and he immediately said, “Leave it to me. The three of us will find out who did this.”

Seeing Gary feeling a strong sense of responsibility and offering to help investigate the matter, Samuel looked much better now. “Then we will count on you.” From Samuel’s point of view, Gary owed it to Nicole.

Gary nodded and immediately looked at Jack and Wayne, who said in unison, “We’ll find out the truth together.” With that, the three of them left.

Lulu and June looked at Samuel and Spencer and knew that they were worried. They had no choice but to say goodbye to Nicole and left with Bradley.

The doctor left after bandaging Nicole’s wound, leaving only Nicole, Spencer, and Samuel in the infirmary.

Spencer then said, “Are you suspecting anyone, Nicole?”

Nicole pondered for a moment, and a name flashed in her mind. But looking at the expressions of her brothers, she chose not to say. “No.”

The two sighed with disappointment.

Nicole looked at them. “Don’t tell Dad and Mom about this. I’m afraid they would be worried. I will stay on campus for the next two days and won’t go home.”

“Huh?” Samuel frowned. “No. How can you stay alone with no one taking care of you?”

“It’s alright.” Nicole shook her head. “Don’t worry about me. It is just a minor cut. I can handle it myself. Mom will be sad and cry if she finds out.”

Knowing how important Nicole was to their mother, Samuel and Spencer could only agree for the time being.

Thinking of Lloyd, Spencer continued to ask, “What is your relationship with Lloyd?”

Nicole glanced at the two and said calmly, “We just met once at the last party.”

Since Samuel and Spencer were not at the Holder family party last time, Nicole glossed over her relationship with Lloyd.

“Just met once?” The two were still not too convinced.

Nicole bowed her head at this time. “I’m tired. Could you two go first?”

Seeing Nicole’s tired look, the two of them did not say more but helped Nicole up and sent her back to class.

By the time Nicole said goodbye to her two brothers and returned to class, her classmates had gone bananas. As soon as they saw Nicole come in, they came up to her with concern.

“Are you alright?”

“You put up an awesome performance today. It was a shame that you couldn’t finish the show.”

Seeing everyone swarm around Nicole with compliments, Vivian, who was disliked by everyone, felt depressed. “If she hadn’t acted, this kind of thing wouldn’t have happened. It must be that she has too many enemies.”

As Vivian said that, she thought, ‘An obnoxious person like Nicole must have brought trouble to herself.’

But everyone was infuriated upon hearing Vivian’s words. “I think you are jealous of Nicole. You damaged her costume before this; maybe it was also you who sabotaged her performance.”

Chapter 738

Vivian was stunned, “What does this have to do with me?”

“You’re lower than a snake’s belly, jealous of Nicole playing the heroine, so you have a grudge against her.”

Being blamed by everyone, Vivian was utterly stunned.

“I-I didn’t.”

But no one believed her. Vivian was angry, glaring at Nicole. “This is what you told them, right? You framed me. How can you be so despicable?”

“I think it’s you who’s despicable.” Ms. Emerson’s voice was heard saying all of a sudden. Everyone looked back and saw Ms. Emerson standing in the doorway.

She glared at Vivian while walking up to her. “I’ve heard about you destroying Nicole’s costume. I didn’t expect you to go so far as deliberately breaking the lighting fixture and trying to kill your classmates. You don’t deserve to be the class monitor with such a character.”

“I-I didn’t do that.” Vivian was aggrieved and desperate, “I admit that I’ve damaged Nicole’s costume, but I wasn’t so vicious as to want to kill her. What’s more…” Vivian bit her lip and could not continue.

Knowing that she had been wronged, Nicole sighed and said, “What’s more, there’s Gary beside me; you can’t hurt him.”

Everyone looked over upon hearing that. Vivian looked back in surprise, not realizing that the person who spoke for her was Nicole.

But Nicole could not care less about Vivian. She came in front of Ms. Emerson. “I’m sure it wasn’t Vivian who did it, Ms. Emerson. She just damaged my costume.”

Ms. Emerson frowned at Nicole as if she was not convinced. “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure.” Nicole nodded matter-of-factly. Almost everyone knew Vivian admired Gary, and she could not possibly hurt Gary.

Ms. Emerson then looked at Vivian. “Since Nicole has testified for you, I will believe you for the time being. But you have repeatedly targeted Nicole and brought shame to the class. You are no longer qualified to be the class monitor.”

Vivian looked at Ms. Emerson in surprise, not expecting that she would ask her to step down. “Ms. Emerson-”

“It’s not negotiable.” Ms. Emerson interrupted her and then turned to look at everyone else. “The class monitor of Class B needs to have both moral integrity, ability, and excellent grades. Nicole got the highest score in the last monthly exam. So starting today, Nicole is the new class monitor.”

Nicole did not expect Ms. Emerson to make her the head of the class. “Ms. Emerson-”

“Don’t decline the offer. Do the job for a while. If you don’t perform well, I won’t force you to continue.” Ms. Emerson cut in and looked at Nicole with a serious face, as she expected Nicole to turn it down.

‘Everyone wants to be the class monitor, but Nicole wants to turn it down and negotiate with the teacher?’

All of her classmates were stunned by how high regard Ms. Emerson had for Nicole right now.

Since Ms. Emerson was so insistent, Nicole could not only give in and agree.

Meanwhile, Vivian clenched her hands, her nails almost sinking into the flesh of her palms, when she saw what happened.

She had not only been stripped of the class monitor’s position and suffered from humiliation but also frozen out by Nicole. Vivian pushed her classmates away and ran out of class with tears in her eyes.

Oliver immediately went after her. Ms. Emerson felt disappointed to see all this. “I really don’t understand how Vivian could become like this.”

Seeing Ms. Emerson’s sadness, Nicole could say nothing but still try to comfort her. “Go take a rest, Ms. Emerson. Don’t worry. I will take care of the class affairs.”

Ms. Emerson gave Nicole a second glance involuntarily. She knew Nicole was the most dependable candidate, and she did not have to worry when she handed Nicole the job.

“Well then, I know I can trust you. When you have found who was trying to hurt you, tell me about it, and will handle it.”

“Thank you.” Nicole looked at Ms. Emerson gratefully.

Ms. Emerson patted her on the shoulder before leaving.

Chapter 739

As soon as the teacher left, everyone swarmed around Nicole to congratulate her.

“You will be our class monitor from now on,”

Bradley, Lulu, and June were all smiles.

Nicole was not as happy as them. Her thinking was that since she had agreed to the job, she would have to work hard to ensure she did a good job, and that was an added responsibility.

The school anniversary celebration had been wrapped out. There was no news of the casting from Lloyd’s crew. But the school forum had posted videos of Nicole almost being smashed by falling objects and saving Gary.

Inside the café, Jared was watching the videos, his face darkening. He could not wait to see Nicole. 1

“Go pick her up.” Jared got up and went downstairs, not expecting to see Nicole coming in with Bradley, Lulu, June, Austin, Sammey, and Zeke together. Nicole’s arm was bandaged. The others were very careful, but they all looked happy.

Austin congratulated Nicole as soon as he took his seat. “Boss, congratulations on being the class monitor.”

Sammey looked awkward, but he still gave his blessing. “Congratulations, Boss.”

“Yeah, congratulations to Nicole for being the class monitor.” June echoed.

Meanwhile, Lulu looked triumphant. “Nicole’s grade was first in the class. She deserves the position.”

Nicole shook her head gently. “There is nothing celebratory about being the class monitor. There are a lot of chores to do.” Today, she had already attended to some trivial things. It was a little exhausting.

“I’ll help you if you need help.” Bradley patted his chest with assurance.

Nicole nodded in thanks, but her eyes were on Zeke. “What are you doing here?”

After school, it was Bradley and Austin who suggested celebrating. She did not know that Zeke would also join them.

“My partner told me about it.” Zeke smiled and glanced at Austin, who also grinned.

Nicole raised an eyebrow. “When did you two become friends?”

Zeke appeared a bit embarrassed. “You know, men being men. Out of blows, friendship grows. I recently started to appreciate Austin’s code of brotherhood.”

“Thank you for your compliment. You’re also a real man.”

While the two men looked chivalrous, Nicole had no words. As she was about to order her coffee, she suddenly sensed an icy stare coming her way. Nicole looked back and saw Jared behind her.

Everyone was instantly silenced, no one daring to speak at the sight of Jared, and the air was filled with a sense of nervousness. Nicole saw Jared gazing at her arm and knew what he was thinking. She took his hand, sat him down beside her, and assured him, saying, “I’m fine, just a minor cut.”

Jared had a serious look on his face. “I’ve asked Max to find the best doctor. You go to the hospital with me afterward.”

“Huh?” Nicole was appalled by how domineering this guy was.

Seeing Jared’s concern, June and Lulu could only envy Nicole,

“Go, Nicole. Jared is concerned about you.” Lulu already knew Jared’s last name, so she tried to give Jared a hand

Chapter 740

“Yeah, the wound is quite deep. It wouldn’t be nice to leave behind a scar.” June genuinely cared about Nicole.

Nicole could only sigh and say, “Okay, then. You guys have coffee. It’s on me.”

“No. Boss took office today, it should be on me.” Austin had a generous spirit on his face. “Enjoy yourselves.”

Zeke smiled. “Thank you.”

Nicole also smiled, looking at Zeke with a thoughtful face.

Jared was not too happy to see this, and he pulled Nicole up from her seat. “Let’s go to the hospital.”

“So fast?” She had not even drunk her coffee yet.

“The doctor won’t be waiting.” He simply made a ran excuse.

Nicole had no choice but to follow Jared.

Outside the café, Max had already driven the car over. Nicole and Jared got into the car together. As soon as the door was closed, Jared drew Nicole into his arms and frowned at her. “How could you hurt yourself to save others?” In his eyes, Gary was not worth mentioning at all, not worth Nicole saving.

Nicole sighed. “It is sort of my reflexes.”

Her professional code of conduct spelled out that she must avoid hurting the innocent and save lives every time on a mission.

Yesterday’s incident happened so suddenly that she had no time to think, and her first thought was to save Gary

Jared had a serious face. “Don’t risk your life for other men next time.”

Nicole looked at his serious expression and burst into laughter.

“What are you laughing at?” Jared frowned. I’m so upset, yet she still laughs.”

Nicole gave him a playful look. “You make me sound like I’m the kind of woman who will risk my life for men. I was just doing what a normal person would do.”

Jared realized it was inappropriate for him to say that, and he still looked jealous. “But it is what it is.”

Nicole saw his unhappiness and leaned into his arms. “I promise you I will only risk my life for you next time.” She really was not in the mood to care about others.

Jared felt better upon hearing that, but he was stubborn. “I don’t want you to risk your life for me. I’ll protect you.” He would allow no one to hurt her.

It was heartwarming for Nicole to hear such an assurance. “Thank you.”

Jared sighed. “Thank me for what? I failed to protect you this time.” After a moment of thought, he suddenly said, “I will send a few bodyguards to protect you tomorrow.”

Nicole frowned. “Have you ever seen a student with bodyguards at school?”

“You have to bring them.” He did not want to hear news of her injury again.

Nicole again looked at him playfully. “Can your bodyguards fight better than I do?”

Jared hesitated, realizing that what she said was true.

Nicole took a deep breath and then assured him. “It was sabotage today. But don’t worry, I will be more careful from now on.”

Jared was relieved. “Okay. I will let you be for now.” But then he thought of something, and he asked with a serious face, “A sabotage? Is someone trying to kill you?”

Nicole’s face turned grave. “Yes.”

“Who?” Jared asked rhetorically.

Nicole shook her head. “I don’t have definitive evidence yet.”

Jared’s eyes turned frosty. “Don’t worry. I’ll send someone to investigate.” He told himself that he would not forgive those who tried to kill Nicole.

“I’ll leave it to you.” Knowing that he would do it even if she refused, Nicole simply said nothing more and left Jared to it.

Soon, as the two arrived at the hospital, the CEO of the hospital led a group of people to welcome them. This spoke volumes of Jared’s importance.
