Ch. 781..785: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 781-785

Chapter 781

Jared came over, stood beside Nicole, and wrapped his arm around Nicole’s waist to declare sovereignty when he noticed what happened here “Excuse me. My girlfriend is tired, she needs a rest. Enjoy yourself, Mrs. Holder”

He did not want the Holder family to say anything unbecoming. So he made an excuse and took Nicole with him.

Since this was the host’s home. Nachelle could only watch Jared take Nicole away She clenched her hands, much to her chagrin.

“Damn it. Jared is so mindful.’

But Nachelle had tested Nicole and was sure that not only did this young lady have no feelings for Lloyd, but she also resisted him. Nachelle looked back at Lloyd helplessly with this thought in mind

Lloyd was devastated and ashamed of himself. Sensing the stare from others, he could not withstand it, so he turned around to leave silently

Nachelle saw her son’s disappointment. She did not stop him but left with him

By this time, Jared had taken Nicole to the balcony.

Nicole looked at Jared’s gloomy expression. She put her hand to his forehead to smoothen his frown.” Mrs. Holder just wanted to talk to me. I’ve already refused. Why still this face?”

Jared’s expression eased up slightly, but still seemingly jealous. “I won’t allow anyone to covet my woman

Nicole could not help but blush. “Why are you getting more and more anless recently? Who is your woman?

Jared stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her, drawing her directly into his arms and forcing her to look up at him. “Who else but you?

Moonlight, along with the gentle breeze, scattered on Nicole’s face. As if Jared was enchanted, he could not resist but kiss her on the forehead

Nicole’s heart fluttered, and she slowly closed her eyes. Amid this amorous moment, a sharp voice sounded suddenly

“Are you here, Jared?”

It was Chloe, whose voice came at an inopportune moment, a nuisance to both Jared and Nicole

Nicole suddenly came to her senses and pushed Jared away

Chloe came to the balcony just in time to see Nicole pulling back from Jared with a bashful face as if the two had done something unseemly.

The sight of this made Chloe feel terribly jealous. ‘I can’t believe Nicole is already such a flirt at this young age I couldn’t even make Jared give me a second look while she got away with him so easily.’

“What are you doing here?” Jared asked in an icy voice after they were interrupted

‘L’ Chloe stood startled, holding two glasses of wine in her hands She wondered if she had said something wrong Otherwise, Jared would not have been angry with her

Feeling wronged, she subconsciously glanced at the glasses in her hands and decided to go forward “I brought you a glass of wine

Nicole’s keen eyes glimpsed at the wineglass, and her gut feeling told her that something was amiss, but she could not tell what

Jared grabbed the wineglass but did not bother to spare Chloe a glance. “You can leave now.’

Chloe did not expect Jared to even say such a thing to her. Her eyes welled up, and tears fell instantly.

“I-I get it.” Chloe could not take this humiliation and left.

Chapter 782

Jared’s face turned grave as he watched Chloe leave Glancing at the wineglass, he knocked back at once and put the wineglass aside in exasperation

“Let’s go back. The time was almost up, and he took Nicole away when he finished dealing with stuff here.

“Okay.” Nicole leaned closer to him with a gentle smile,

Feeling Nicole’s hand put through his arm, Jared started to feel better

The two returned to the hall. When people saw the two come back arm in arm, they immediately and subconsciously made way for them.

Henry’s expression turned grim at seeing the two of them attract so much attention. He had been eagerly waiting to see how Jared and Nicole would make an exhibition of themselves, but things did not go that way. The two of them were drawing more and more attention. Not only that, Nicole had found favor with Mr. Johnston Sr. and even rubbed shoulders with Sebastian Wyance. So he wondered who she really was and did not even know if it was right for Nicole and Jared to marry

Mr. Johnston Sr walked up to the stage and looked down at the crowd. He coughed and said, “Thank you for coming to the party, everyone I think you all have heard about it: I’m going to make an announcement in front of you all tonight.”

His words immediately drew everyone, including the politicians and the rich kids around him. The Finleys, the McCarthys, the Wyances, the Holders, and other prominent families were all present. This was the moment they had been waiting for today. They wondered who would be the next heir to the Johnston family

Henry was excited, as this was the exact moment he had been looking forward to. But he was also apprehensive at the same time because he had not seen through what was on Mr. Johnston Sr.’s mind until now. He was really worried about something that he did not expect

Castor and Murphy had come beside Henry, hoping their father’s dream would come true, and the two could keep their positions or even get promoted in the company.

Mr Johnston Sr. said from the stage, “I will hereby announce the heirs to Johnson Group and family.”

Everyone swallowed hard. No one at the scene dared to speak, waiting for the announcement with bated breath

The Riddle family members were all anxious Their idea was that if Jared could become the heir, Nicole would become the lady of the Johnston family A rising tide lifts all boats, the Riddle family and everyone in it would rise to the top of the social circle in San Joto.

There were also many shareholders of the company present, all of whom nervously waited for the announcement. Most of them were pro-Henry. If Henry became the heir, they would also benefit from his rise

After a moment of silence, Mr. Johnston Si continued. “My grandson, Jared, will be the heir to Johnston Group

The news came as a bombshell

‘What Honry was the closest to the stairs, his eyes widening, thinking he had heard it wrong

Murphy and Castor were dumbfounded Especially Murphy, who could not help but ask, “Grandpa, did you say the wrong name?

His question earned a knifelike look from Mr. Johnston Sr. “You shut up.”

Murphy shut up at once after getting scolded

Chapter 783

Castor was resentful but did not talk back. Instead, he stood in front of the shareholders who supported his father and said to Mr Johnston Sr., “Grandpa, I know you prefer Jared, but my father has been the one who manages the company all this while in contrast, Jared has only been back not long ago How can you hand over the company to him? What gives him the right to take over the helm of the company?”

Mr Johnston Sr’s expression was frigid to the extreme, and he laughed. “Because he’s the CEO of JJ

Johnston Group”

“JJ Johnston Group?”

Everyone was astonished upon hearing the name

Henry was familiar with the name JJ Johnston Group and Johnston Group entered a joint venture last year JJ Johnston Group, based in Mecrounia, had strong financial backing and enjoyed a high standing internationally Even Johnston Group appeared to be a weaker partner in the venture with JJ Johnston Group

And Jared was the one who ran such a massive corporation Because the owner of JJ Johnston Group had been remaining very mysterious, no one in the country knew who the owner was, and Jared had always been the only person who could contact the owner And also, because of the venture with JJ Johnston Group, no one dared to challenge his position as the acting CEO of Johnston Group

It was not until today that Henry realized that Jared was JJ Johnston Group’s owner, which he had been trying to woo all this while No wonder JJ Johnston Group had only wanted to work with Jared

It turned out that JJ Johnston Group was Jared’s shadow company Today, most of Johnston Group’s funds were tied up in the joint venture with JJ Johnston Group, which also meant that most of the funds were in Jared’s pocket

Henry was utterly dumbfounded at this moment, regretting that he had underestimated his rival and did not properly conduct a background check on Jared

Not far away, Edwin, who was watching it all, muttered to Preston, “Few people in the country really know Jared owns JJ Johnston Group. I only learned about it when I took on a hacking job from JJ Johnston Group”

Preston raised an eyebrow, “You already knew that?”

Edwin nodded ‘In fact, Jared didn’t really hide his identity carefully When he first came back from abroad, he used this identity to go to school and meet Mr. Ellison. People at the school only knew that he was the CEO of JJ Johnston Group and did not know that he was also from Johnston Group”

So people only heard about Jared but were unaware he owned JJ Johnston Group Those who had seen the CEO of JJ Johnston Group did not know that Jared was the owner That was why the owner of JJ Johnston Group had been deerned so mysterious

“You deserve to be a master informer Preston raised an eyebrow, impressed by Edwin’s Intelligence gathering wits

“I’ll take that as a compliment “Edwin smiled triumphantly, unruffled by that sarcastic remark.

People gradually come to their senses and watched Jared walk up the steps. They no longer saw him as just a Johnston family’s outcast but a real strong man

As the CEO of JJ Johnston Group and the successor of Johnsion Group. Jared would control the biggest corporations in Macrounia and San Joto, becoming the man that everyone looked up to

Now, even those shareholders who supported Henry had turned against him. This was expected. There was no point in staying on Henry’s side when Jared was clearly the winner.

Henry knew he had failed utterly. He had lost every bargaining chip if Jared was the CEO of JJ Johnston Group

Meanwhile, Castor and Murphy did not know the seriousness of the matter. “Dad, what are you doing standing here? Jared has gone up there.”

But Henry’s face had turned pale, and he was utterly speechless.

Chapter 784

Jared walked up to the mezzanine in full view of everyone. He then turned to face the crowd.

“I have nothing to say. After all, I have just returned from abroad. I just want to say I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with everyone in the future.”

It was a very typical official speech, but in the eyes of all the young girls, he was a handsome and wealthy bachelor. Now they were even more envious of Nicole

Chloe, on the other hand, knew Jared’s identity abroad, which was why she wanted Jared so much. Unfortunately, Nicole was standing between her and Jared

“But Jared will be mine today

Chloe checked her watch with a triumphant look on her face. When the time came, she would go over and take Jared away. He would have no way of shaking her off when it was a done thing

No one knew what Chloe was thinking. The Riddle family members were stunned by this unexpected news, not expecting that Jared was not only dating Nicole but also the CEO of JJ Johnston Group

Meanwhile, Mr. Riddle Sr felt thankful for it, as Jared was no longer what he used to be: he was more successful than ever before His thinking was that had Nicole not been Zane’s foster daughter, she would not have deserved Jared.

While Mr. Riddle Sr. and his family were still in shock, Jared ended his speech and looked at Nicole,

Today, I also have something else to announce

His voice was magnetic Everyone fell silent, waiting for him to speak

They all were curious about what else Jared wanted to say after becoming heir to Johnston Group

“It is about Nicole and me Both our families have agreed on marriage So Nicole and I are going to hold an engagement ceremony next month, Jared surprised everyone.

There was an instant uproar. People were more shocked than when they learned Jared was the CEO of JJ Johnston Group

“Oh my God.. Betrothal? Is he really going to get engaged to the girl from the Riddle family?*

“But he is the CEO of JJ Johnston Group. The girl from the Riddle family is unworthy of him.”

Many people looked at Nicole with disdain, thinking that Nicole was not worthy of Jared

Jared came down and brought her onto the stage, not caring at all about how people looked at him. He then kneeled down to Nicole in front of everyone’s eyes

Nicole had never expected that Jared would suddenly do such a thing, and she suddenly did not know how to react

“Wh What are you doing? As dexterous as she was, she had never been so panicked Her face reddened. and her heart pounded when she saw Jared kneeling on one knee in front of her. This feeling made her want to run away Jared took a red velvet box out of his suit pocket the next second

Everyone ereidimed.

“I wish I were Nicole.”

People expressed their amazement and envy.

Chloe was eating her heart out upon seeing this. She did not expect that Jared would propose to Nicole in public before her plan succeeded. ‘Damn it, Nicole. You stole my everything. Damn it.’

Snow and Raine hated Nicole as well.

Nicole had stolen the man they both liked, and she and Jared were acting lovey-dovey, and Jared was proposing to her in front of everyone’s eyes. They were fit to be tied, wondering what was so good about Nicole that made Jared so obsessed with her.

On stage, Jared ignored everything else and looked at Nicole affectionately. He said slowly in a magnetic voice, “Will you marry me, Nicole?”

Chapter 785

“I…” Nicole was so nervous that she did not know what to say. Her mind went blank for the first time in her life.

“Marry him, Nicole.” Lulu cheered Nicole on in the crowd.

“Marry him.” June echoed.

Samuel was also excited. “What are you waiting for, Nicole? Marry him.”

Even Spencer was anxious, hoping his sister would give her nod to marry Jared. The same was true for Stanley and Steve. They were also waiting for Nicole’s answer.

Mr. Riddle Sr saw Nicole’s hesitation and sighed. “What are you still hesitating about, Nicole?”

His words sobered Nicole up a little. She remembered his grandfather used to express his hope for them to get engaged soonest, and now his dream was coming true. She could not help but glance at Daniel and Gloria

Her mother’s eyes were filled with anticipation, and she gave Nicole a nod of encouragement, waiting for Nicole to make the decision

At this moment, Nicole found the answer in her heart and looked back at Jared, ‘I do.”

“Wow. It’s awesome.”

“It is so romantic.” Lulu and June cheered, and June was so excited that she pulled on Samuel’s arm.

Samuel blushed instantly When June realized her gaffe, she quickly pulled back her hands. “I-I’m sorry.”

Samuel looked away awkwardly, “No, it’s alright.” He did not know why his heart just thumped uncontrollably

On stage, upon hearing her answer, Jared opened the velvet box, took out a diamond, and put it on Nicole’s finger at once.

The dazzling diamond was making all the women at the scene envious and jealous.

Jared took her hand, got to his feet, and drew her into his arms with a smile. His genuine embrace gave Nicole a sense of assurance She had never thought that someone would someday propose to her on such an occasion. Less so, an excellent man like Jared. She hugged him back, albeit shyly, to express her Joy

Jared could feel Nicole’s excitement, and he could not help but smile. “Let’s go.’ He let go of her. All he wanted now was to bring Nicole away and be alone with her

“Okay. Nicole smiled, her face blushing

The two walked out of the venue in full view of everyone

Gloria was shedding tears of happiness as Daniel drew her in his arms. Nicole’s five brothers were all smiles, giving the two of them their blessing. With his dream coming true, Mr. Riddle Sr looked at Mr Johnston Sr with great relish

As his grandson had lell, Mr Johnston Sr. came back onstage, “Thank you all for coming to the party today I’m a bit tired today I’d like to excuse myself and go to rest first. Please enjoy yourselves”

He then did not forget to look at Henry “Take Castor and Murphy with you to entertain the guests and clean up the main

Only then did Henry come to his senses and nod. “I will.” But deep down inside, he felt as if he had been completely crushed. The party was not held for him, but he was asked to clean up the mess. He gritted his teeth, wishing he could smash everything up. But he knew he could only put up with it. Now, Mr Johnston Sr. had Jared as his backer; there was nothing he could do now. Had he known this would happen, he would have sent the old man to meet Jared’s parents in the afterlife last time.
