Ch. 836..840: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 836-840

Chapter 836

When Preston saw Nicole was up and stretching, he quickly followed suit.

"You have just sat down and now want to get up again? Sit back down and keep an eye on the screen, Preston. White could strike at any time." Edwin taunted.

"Didn't you see Nicole get up and stretch ? That means that nothing is going to happen. So don't worry."

"Lazy-guy."

After doing some stretches, Nicole sat back down and waited quietly for the next attack, which had never come again until nightfall. Nicole was exasperated after wasting a day of her time for nothing.

Logically, hackers would not just attack once and give up. She wondered if she had misjudged something. Nicole sat there silently, analyzing the situation. Preston had dozed off when the urge of nature's call woke him up. He saw Nicole was still staring at the computer screen.

"Why don't we just call it a day? You should also go back early to rest." Nicole ignored him, and Preston went to answer nature's call.

Just at the moment, he entered the men's room, he heard Nicole call out to him.

"Here it comes!" Preston quickly zipped his pants and ran back out. The computer's firewall was under heavy attack. Preston quickly sat down and fought back. Nicole's voice jolted up Edwin from his sleep. He sat straight up in front of the computer and launched a counteroffensive with Preston.

"Nicole, have you tracked it down? The attack is vicious this time." Preston busily typed on the keyboard.

"Hang on there." Nicole was looking for the weakest entry point. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she responded at once.

"I got him." Nicole successfully hacked into White's computer in the quickest possible time. She could not have gained access had White found out.

"I got him," Nicole exclaimed again as if each announcement was a victory. Nicole started to rummage through White's computer system for information about him.

Suddenly, White found that his computer had been hacked. He immediately made a counter-intrusion move. But it was too late; Nicole had taken over his computer and restricted all his permissions .

At this moment, his computer was just a dummy monitor that he had no control over. He could only watch Nicole searching around for his information. Nicole also knew that White was aware of what she was doing. So she sped up the search. White stared angrily at the screen; his hands clenched into fists.

Worried that the opponent might find information about him, he smashed the computer to the ground and walked out of his place, then set the base on fire to cover his tracks. The scene of the raging fire was reflected in White's eyes. White might have smashed the computer, but Nicole had managed to find his registration on The Hunters.

Nicole mused as she looked at the information she had found. It turned out that White was also a member of The Hunters.

After withstanding all the attacks, Preston and Edwin lay exhausted on their computer desks, asking feebly," Nicole, have you tracked him down?"

"I got him." Nicole glanced back.

 

Chapter 837

“I appreciate your hard work. I‘ll buy you guys a coffee another day.” Nicole turned off the computer and left.

“Glad to know you have got him. We won‘t see you out.” Edwin and Preston fell asleep at their computer desks after Nicole left.

Once out of Preston‘s company, Nicole looked at the time; it was 1.00 am. Going back to the campus and home was out of the question , so she could only go to Jared‘s place.

It was a sunny and breezy morning the next day.

Jared stretched out and headed downstairs. Just as he came to the staircase landing, he vaguely saw someone lying on the couch in the living room. Jared was stunned, wondering who had broken into his house early in the morning without triggering the security alarm.

He reached for a club, sneaked toward the living room, and came behind the couch. Jared held the club in one hand and pulled the throw pillow the person was sleeping on.

Nicole was sleeping, but when she sensed someone approaching, she became alert and ready to strike at any time, just waiting for the attacker to pull her throw pillow, and she would quickly subdue the person.

As Jared pulled the throw pillow away, and before he could strike with the club in his hand, he was kicked to the floor.

Nicole heard the familiar voice and got up. “Jared?” She hurried up to help him.

Jared heard Nicole‘s voice and looked over with a painful expression. “Nicole?”

Nicole helped him to sit down on the couch. “Why did you sneak up on me like a thief in the early morning?”

“How do you still have the nerve to ask me this question? Why didn‘t you inform me you had come? I thought it was an uninvited guest.”

“You really hit me hard; my hand is still numb.” Jared glanced at his hand, which was still shivering, wondering how much force Nicole had used.

“You can‘t blame me; you could have dodged.”

“I didn‘t tell you because I didn‘t want to disturb your rest, so I thought I would just sleep on the couch,” Nicole explained. When she came to Jared‘s place, she was not so sleepy, so she looked through the material in the living room for a while. When she finally felt tired, she did not bother to go upstairs but fell asleep on the couch.

Jared keenly captured some key information.

“So you must have arrived here late, right? Otherwise, you should have returned to the campus or your home.”

Nicole did not expect Jared to see through her so quickly, so she might as well be honest with him.

“Yes, it was already 1.00 am when I arrived last night. I had nowhere else to go, so I came to you.”

“Then you go to sleep first. I will make breakfast.” Jared looked at her and felt sorry for her.

Nicole looked at Jared in amazement.

“You don‘t even ask me where I was last night?”

“No hurry. I will wait until you get enough sleep.” Jared gave her a look and went to make breakfast.

Nicole lay down on the couch and continued to sleep. This time, she slept soundly until she woke up naturally.

“What time is it? Why are you still here?” Nicole opened her eyes and saw Jared sitting beside her.

“Get up and get something to eat.” Jared brought breakfast to her when he saw she looked refreshed after a good sleep.

Nicole was starving. She tucked in at once. Upon finishing breakfast, she looked at Jared. “Don‘t you have to go to work today?”

“It doesn‘t matter.” Jared looked at her dotingly. It was now late morning. He had postponed the morning meeting to the afternoon. So it looked like he would have to stay back tonight.

“Can you tell me now why you came back so late?” Jared finally asked the question.

“I‘m helping Preston on a job. I guess I‘ll still be busy for the next few days.” Nicole explained briefly. Had it not been for Jared, she would not have bothered to explain.

Chapter 838

Jared understood. “Since it‘s a job, I won‘t ask more, but please take care of yourself.”

“So, are you going to live here for the next few days?” Jared wished she would, so he could see her every day.

“Maybe, not sure yet. You go get busy. Don‘t worry about me.” Nicole did not want to affect Jared‘s work because of her.

“Okay. You have a good rest.” Jared pulled a blanket over her body and left for work.

Nicole glanced at the time. “Oh gosh, it‘s already noon.”

She got up at once and washed up, then got ready to go to school. Just then, the thought of the situation at Preston‘s side came to mind. She was worried that White would make a comeback. So she went to Preston‘s office instead.

“Nicole, what are you doing here?” Preston was just about to go out when he bumped into Nicole in the doorway. “Are you going out?” Nicole looked at the neatly dressed Preston.

“Yeah, I have something to take care of, but nothing urgent. Let‘s get inside.” Preston walked Nicole back into his office.

“How did you come back?” Edwin saw Preston. “Ahh, Nicole has come.”

“Were there any unknown attacks this morning?” Nicole asked Edwin worriedly.

“Not yet. Everything is normal.”

“Good. White hides his identity very well. It may take some time to uncover it. But I‘m afraid White will strike again, so you two have got to be vigilant and don‘t mess up.” Nicole knew she must find White before he struck again, lest he became a permanent scourge.

“Don‘t worry. We will take turns keeping watch twenty four hours a day.” Preston assured Nicole.

“Okay. Get in touch.” With that, Nicole spun around to leave, only to bump into Rowan, who came to thank Preston.

Rowan was surprised. “What a coincidence, Nicole. I didn‘t expect to meet you here.”

“It‘s been a long while.” Nicole looked at Rowan.

“You guys know each other?” Preston was surprised.

“Of course.” Rowan nodded.

“You guys?” Rowan looked at Preston and then at Nicole.

“Nicole is my sister. She is also a hacker. It was she who thwarted White‘s attack. I can’t imagine what would have happened without Nicole.” Preston praised Nicole in front of Rowan

Rowan looked at Nicole in shock. “I knew you could heal, but I didn‘t expect that you are also a formidable hacker.”

“You have been keeping a really low profile, Nicole.” Edwin looked at Nicole with admiration. “It‘s just a hobby,” Nicole said.

Neither Preston nor Edwin expected Nicole to be not only a hacker but also a medical practitioner . They suddenly found her so badass and looked at her in a different light.

Rowan was here to thank Preston and Edwin. He looked at Edwin and said, “I have transferred the money.”

“Okay.” Edwin made a gesture.

Rowan set his sights on Nicole. “I wonder if you have time for a cup of coffee together, Nicole?” “Yeah, sure.” Nicole and Rowan walked out of Preston‘s office together.

 

Chapter 839

After Nicole left, Preston and Edwin started to talk.

“Who is Nicole , really? Even an arms dealer like Rowan knew her,” Edwin asked.

“I‘m not sure, but Nicole really makes the Riddle family proud.” Preston shook his head in a daze. He was glad the Riddle family had Nicole.

Nicole and Rowan were sitting across from each other in the café outside the school.

“Do you mind telling me how many attacks you have received?” Nicole wanted to know the truth of the matter so that she could make the right decision.

“There have been many attacks on my side, and so have other arms dealers.” Rowan had a headache at the thought of this.

“That‘s bad.” Nicole did not expect things to be far more serious than she thought.

“Having experienced so many attacks, have you ever discovered what the characteristics of the attacker are?” Nicole wanted to find the attacker‘s modus operandi and then dug into it further. Rowan took a sip of his coffee as he rummaged through his memory. “I don’t see any characteristics.”

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. “But there is one thing; the arms dealers who were attacked are the three major organizations‘ suppliers.” Nicole fell into silence upon hearing that.

Other than Zane’s organization, there were two other major organizations. If White‘s targets were the arms dealers who supplied to the three major organizations , things would get complicated. Nicole felt White was plotting something big, probably wanting to cut off the supply of the three major

organizations. Once there was no supply from the arms dealers, the three major organizations may be in danger. Seeing Nicole‘s silence, Rowan knew the attacker was nasty.

“I‘ll give you a new firewall; it is foolproof, and you don‘t have to worry about maintenance. I will take care of it.” At the very least, she had to keep Rowan‘s supply of ammunition, and keeping Rowan safe meant covering Zane‘s back.

“Thank you so much. I can finally feel more at ease for now. I will transfer the money into your account right now.” Rowan was overjoyed to hear that Nicole was going to set up a new firewall for him.

“Don‘t worry. You can do that later when the firewall is installed.”

“I can‘t wait. To be honest, had I known you had the expertise in security systems, I would not have looked for someone else.” Rowan happily transferred the money to Nicole.

Nicole talked to him again about the other two arms dealers before leaving the café.

“Thank you. I‘m counting on you.” Rowan looked at Nicole with a sincere face.

“Don‘t worry about it.”

“Isn‘t this devil instructor ?” Raine and her classmates came to the café for coffee. “You have a fiancé. How can you still fool around with other men?” Raine said to Nicole and glanced at Rowan with disgust.

At first, Rowan had a pleasant expression, but the mischief – making of Raine caused his face to turn grim

instantly. Immediately, a group of men in black came out of nowhere and surrounded Raine and her classmates.

“Mind your words, brat.” Rowan looked at Raine with frosty eyes.

Surrounded, Raine and her classmates were terrified.” Nicole, why are you mingling with such a person? Aren‘t you afraid of being found out by the elders of the Riddle family?”

“Are you suggesting that you are going to tell them?” Nicole looked at her with a stiff smile , causing Raine to shiver in fright.

“They‘re so rude to you. Do you want me to teach them a lesson, Nicole?” Rowan asked Nicole.

Hearing that, Raine tried to please Nicole. “We are cousins, and I said that for your own good. Keep in mind your relationship with the Johnston family. People could spread malicious allegations that offend the Johnston family. I‘m concerned about your relationship with Jared.

Nicole looked at Raine, who was frightened by Rowan‘s men, and then at Rowan with a smile. “It‘s alright. I know you are busy. I can totally handle this myself.”

 

Chapter 840

Rowan was a little disappointed to see that Nicole did not need his help. “I will go then if you really don‘t need help.

Nicole nodded.

Rowan gave the men in black a look, and they gave way to Raine and his classmates, who ran out of the café with their tails between their legs.

Watching Raine flee, Rowan taunted, “What a brat, trying to bite off more than she can chew!”

Nicole watched Rowan leave, and then she went back to school.

Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked it up; it was Samuel.

“Tomorrow is Mom‘s birthday. What gift are you going to buy for her, Nicole?”

Samuel and Spencer had gone to look for Nicole in her classroom, but she was not there.

“I haven‘t thought about it yet. What do you think?” Nicole had been tied up in trivial matters for the past few days and had not had time to select gifts.

“We‘re also thinking about it. We are going to go to the mall later. Do you want to join us?” Samuel asked.

Nicole thought for a moment, and she agreed.

“Then we will see you after school.” Samuel hung up the phone.

Nicole went straight back to the dormitory and took out her computer to search for White‘s information.

‘Since White is a member of The Hunters , his personal information must be in The Hunters‘ database .‘ Nicole came up with a bold idea with this thought in mind. She was prepared to hack into The Hunters‘ database.

Her fingers flew over the keyboard as she started to hack into The Hunters‘ database. But it was not as easy as expected. The Hunters‘s firewall was designed by top hackers with layers of protection, not something that ordinary people could break into. After several times of unsuccessful attempts, she started to think. As time went by, Nicole still failed to hack into the system after repeated attempts and adjustments. She was in a difficult situation.

Looking at the time, she realized she should go to meet with Samuel and Spencer. So she packed up and went out.

Samuel and Spencer had been waiting for her at the school gate. “Over here, Nicole.” Spencer waved at her.

Nicole walked over. “Have you thought about what gift to buy?”

“I will buy Mom a handbag. The one Mom is carrying now is outdated.” Samuel said happily. “What about you, Spencer?”

“Doesn‘t Mom like piano very much? The one at home is old. I‘m thinking of giving her a new one.” “You‘re indeed a musical instrument freak. The gifts you choose are also different.” Samuel teased him.

“What gift would you buy for Mom, Nicole ?” They now looked at her.

“You‘ll know in a moment.” Nicole kept them in suspense.

The three of them happily drove toward the mall.

At the mall, they first accompanied Samuel to buy the designer bag he had seen before and then went with Spencer to the piano shop. “Mr. Riddle, inside, please.” The service staff of the piano shop was hospitable. “Did the piano I ordered arrive?” Spencer asked the service staff.

“It has arrived.”

“You two come with me to see it.” Spencer loved the piano.

The service staff led the three of them to the innermost part of the piano shop. “Mr. Riddle , this is your custom piano.”

“Wow, custom piano?” Samuel looked at the eye-catching piano and stepped forward to admire it.

“Don‘t touch it. This is custom–made for Mom. No one else is allowed to touch it.” Spencer smacked away Samuel‘s hand that was about to touch the piano.
