Ch. 841..845: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 841-845

Chapter 841

"Nicole, do you think Mom will like it?" Spencer looked at Nicole.

"Why are you asking me?"

Nicole looked at Spencer in puzzlement.

"You are all women, so you should like similar things and have the same thinking."

"No, no,no.I still think differently from Mom, but I think she will like this piano."

"Let's not mention that it is a customized model.Mom will like it just because of your love."

Nicole did not exaggerate the value of the things but highlighted Spencer's filial piety to his mother.

"Yes, that's right."

Spencer agreed with Nicole.Samuel could not listen anymore and interrupted."Nicole, we've both bought our gifts.What have you chosen for Mom?"

"My gift is not here.I'll take you all there when you're done here." Nicole deliberately did not tell them, leaving them anxious.

"Don't create suspense.Take us with you."Samuel could not wait to find out.

"Okay, let's go." Nicole took the lead and walked outside.

"The piano is good. Deliver to the Riddle family on time tomorrow morning." Spencer told the service staff before catching up with Nicole.

"Where is your gift, Nicole?"

After driving through a few streets, Nicole still did not tell him but just asked him to continue to drive.

"We are almost there."

A moment later, she said, "Stop right here."

She opened the car door and went down.

Samuel and Spencer stood next to Nicole and asked curiously, "Why are you bringing us to the antique market? Are you going to buy an antique here, aren't you? "Nicole, most of them here are scammers.Let's go somewhere else."

Spencer tried to dissuade her.

But Nicole did not listen to them at all and went straight inside.

"Hey beautiful, I have the best painting here.Come, take a look."

Just a few steps inside, a vendor called out to Nicole.Nicole did not bother to stop but walked straight ahead.Another antique seller shouted, "Hello, handsome man, pretty girl.Come, take a look at my Picasso paintings."

"Oh, yeah, Picasso paintings.You wouldn't have been here if you had Picasso paintings," Samuel taunted him mercilessly.

The two continued to follow Nicole until she stopped before a vendor and looked at the mercantile on the table.

"Little girl, can I help you?"

An old man twisting his beard with his hand was sitting in a rocking chair and drinking beer leisurely.Nicole did not respond to him but intently studied what was on the table.

"Nicole , can you tell what it is?" Spencer stood behind Nicole and asked in a whisper.She did not answer him, either.

Looking at the few rough stones, her eyes lit up.She did not pick up the stone she saw but deliberately took another larger one and casually looked at it.

"How much is this rough stone?"

"You have got good taste, Little Girl.This rough stone is full of emeralds.I will let it go at five hundred thousand dollars if you like."

The old man was hopeful, thinking that today must be his lucky day, as this girl looked as if she knew nothing about gemstones.

"A freaking stone costs half a million? That's like daylight robbery." Samuel sneered.

"What freaking stone? Don't open your freaking mouth if you know nothing about gemstones.Otherwise, I will make you taste what it is like to ruin the business of others."

As if Nicole had not heard them arguing, she put down the stone in a predicament.

"This stone is nice, but it is too expensive." Spencer and Samuel were relieved to see Nicole put down the stone.

Nicole deliberately picked stones other than the one she was interested in, and the old man thought he would be lucky.

But now, he was annoyed by her questions.

 

Chapter 842

The old man looked at Nicole impatiently.

"You have been asking me this and that for so long; are you going to buy it or not?"

Nicole felt the time had come and decisively picked up the stone she was into and asked the old man again.

"How much is this?"

The old man had long lost his patience and did not bother to look at it.

"If you buy it this time, I will let it go at two thousand."

Nicole was secretly overjoyed, but her expression remained calm.She looked at the boss in a predicament."Two thousand is still expensive.How about one thousand?

"No need to study again.One thousand dollars and take it.Don't waste my time.I need to take a leak."

The old man had finished a can of beer, and his bladder was full to the brim.He just wanted to send Nicole away so that he could relieve his bladder.

"Deal."

Nicole took out a stack of cash and handed it to the old man.Samuel and Spencer were anxious but could only sigh since the money had changed hands.

"Take a look.What do you think, Samuel, Spencer?"

Nicole held the stone in her hand with a smile on her face.

"Nicole, you are smarter than this.Why did you fall into the trap this time?"

Samuel still could not understand why Nicole had bought the stone.A thousand dollars was nothing to him, but he would not spend a thousand dollars on a stone.Nicole let out a smile.

"Come with me.I will let you see something mind-blowing."

Nicole took them to a lapidarist.

"Sir, I would like to have this stone turned into a pendant and a bracelet." Nicole handed the stone to the lapidarist.

"Sure.You may wait in the lounge and have a cup of coffee there.I will bring it to you once it is finished."

The three of them went into the lounge.Spencer and Samuel were still talking about the stones, They did not believe that the stone contained emeralds.

"I will go to take a look."

After sitting for a while, Samuel became restless.He got up and wanted to have a look in the processing room.

But before he could get out of the lounge door, a service staff walked in with the finished product.

"Miss Riddle, this is a pendant and bracelet made according to your requirements."

"Holy moly.It's so beautiful."

Samuel was amazed.Spencer was also fascinated.

"It's superb."

Nicole took them and looked at them in her hands.

"How did you know the stone was a gem?" Samuel asked curiously.

"I could tell."

"You're brilliant .If that old man knew this stone was a gemstone, he would cry."Samuel thought of that picture and laughed involuntarily.

"Wrap it up nicely for me." Nicole looked at the service staff.

"Thank you for your business." The service staff respectfully saw them out.

Together with Spencer and Samuel, Nicole returned home with the pendant and bracelet, The next day, the entire mansion came to life.In the early morning, Gloria sat on the couch and happily received her birthday gifts.Samuel came up and handed a designer bag to Gloria.

"Happy birthday, Mom."

"You shouldn't have.I have many handbags."

Gloria knew Samuel must have spent much of his pocket money on the handbag.

"Those handbags of yours are outdated.This one is a new arrival this season.Try it out."

Samuel could not wait to see Gloria carry the handbag he had bought.

"It looks beautiful."

Daniel looked on, his eyes full of affection, as Gloria carried the handbag on her shoulder.Sean walked over with two vacation tickets.

"You and dad haven't traveled alone for a long time.You two can go on a holiday with these two vacation tickets after your birthday."

Before Gloria could say anything, Daniel chimed in.

"I have been thinking of taking your mom for a holiday.And now, here we go."

"Hahaha."

"Dad, that's a bargain for you." Samuel quipped.

"Thanks to your mom."

As everyone else had come over to give Gloria gifts, Nicole took out the gifts she had just bought.

 

Chapter 843

"Happy birthday , Mom."

Nicole handed the beautifully wrapped gift to Gloria.

"Wow, what a beautiful necklace !"Gloria exclaimed as she opened the jewelry box and saw the emerald necklace.

Everyone gathered around her.

"How much does such an enormous emerald cost?"

Steve could not help but wonder.

"Emeralds of such a pure color are rare."

Sean sighed as he looked at the eye-catching emerald necklace.

"From where did you get this, Nicole?"

Before Nicole could speak, Spencer blurted out.

"This is also a bracelet."

Gloria was too fascinated by the necklace and forgot about the other box.She quickly opened it upon hearing what Spencer said.

"This bracelet is also made of the same emerald?"

Gloria looked at Nicole.Nicole nodded with a smile.

"Mom, you will be amazed by how the necklace and bracelet come about,"Samuel told the ins and outs of how Nicole got the emeralds.

"I didn't know that Nicole is also a gemologist."

Gloria did not expect it was Nicole who handpicked the emeralds and hired someone to custom-make the necklace and bracelet.

"Nicole, could you help me put it on?"

Gloria immediately took down the necklace she was wearing.Everyone praised Gloria for looking good wearing it.Then there was a knock at the door.

"Gloria, did you invite friends over?"

"No."

"I'll take a look."

Spencer had probably guessed that the piano he had ordered had arrived.Sure enough, the delivery men had already carried the piano to the door.

"Come in and put it in the hall," Spencer told the delivery men.

"What is this, Spencer?" Gloria was surprised at seeing something so large.

"You'll know in a moment."

"Slow down. Be careful," Spencer said to the delivery men.

"Please sign here."

After Spencer signed the delivery note, the delivery men left.

"Mom, this is my birthday present for you.Come and unveil it."

Spencer took Gloria's hand to come to the piano.

"What is this? So mysterious."

Filled with curiosity, Gloria whisked open the cloth that covered the thing.She covered her mouth with her hands when she saw the piano.

"It's a piano!"

"I haven't touched a piano in a long time."

Gloria gently opened the lid.

"Mom, sit down and play a song."

Spencer could not wait but urged his mother.

Gloria looked at them, who were all waiting to see her playing the piano.

As her fingers gently danced on the keys, a beautiful melody reverberated through the mansion.

Everyone applauded as she finished a song.

"Mom, you play really well."

Samuel was amazed, Suddenly, the sound of applause came from the doorway.

Everyone looked over and saw that it was Norah.

"What is she doing here?"

Samuel and others looked at each other.

"Mom, you played so well." Norah complimented Gloria.

"Norah?"

Gloria and Daniel were surprised because neither of them had told Norah about today's gathering.

 

Chapter 844

"How can I forget your birthday? This is my gift for you."Norah handed the thing in her hand to Gloria.

"I'm happy that you are coming.Why did you spend money again?"

Gloria took Norah’s hand and sat her down in front of her.

The arrival of Norah instantly shattered the jovial atmosphere of the family.

Norah's keen eye spotted the necklace around Gloria's neck.

"This necklace is so beautiful ," Norah exclaimed.

"It is a birthday present from Nicole." Gloria smiled with delight.

"Nicole has such good taste in necklaces."

Norah praised Nicole, surprisingly.

"It looks like you have got many presents for your birthday."

"How are you doing lately, Norah?"

Gloria had not seen her in a long time.

"Everything is great.Just that things in the student union are a little busy.That was why I didn't have time to come see you," Norah said.

The next second, she asked Nicole, "How is the training for your class?"

"Pretty good." Nicole did not want to talk to her at all.

"I heard that many students in your class have hamstrings in training.You're the new class monitor.It must be hard for you."

Norah's words had an undertone of satirizing the incompetence of Nicole as the new class monitor.

"My classmates are self-disciplined, so I often have time to come home."

Nicole knew that if she did not hit back at her, Norah would push her luck and spit in her face.

"Really? But I've heard..."

Without waiting for Norah to finish speaking, Samuel interjected.

"It's been half a day since we were here; it's time to cut the cake."

"I will go get the cake."

Nicole took this opportunity to leave, freeing her from the hassle of dealing with Norah's questioning as if Norah really cared about her.

So Samuel and Nicole went to get the cake together.

"Please don't mind what Norah says.Just treat her as if she is not there.If she picks a fight, I will help you fix her, "Samuel said.Nicole had not taken what Norah said to heart.So, upon hearing what Samuel said, she burst out laughing.

After a while, the two pushed the cake cart out and in front of Gloria.

"Mom, make a wish."

Gloria closed her eyes and clapped her hands together in front of her chest.After a while, she opened her eyes again and blew out the candle in front of her.

"What wish did you make, Mom?" Samuel asked curiously.

"I can't tell you, or it will not come true."

"Mom, eat the first cut of the cake."

Norah took the initiative to cut the cake for everyone.

While everyone was enjoying the cake, Norah suddenly asked Nicole, "Where is Jared?"

What seemed to be a casual question was actually a provocation.Nicole had almost forgotten about Jared while everyone was happily chatting just now.If it were not for Norah, she would have forgotten about it completely.

"He heard about your birthday and asked me to bring you this gift. He said he had work to do there, so he couldn't come." Nicole took a box from her bag.

"My birthday is not a big deal, yet a busy man like Jared still remembers it.Please thank him for me." Gloria took the box without opening it.

"Mom, why don't you open it? I was still curious about what gift Jared has given you." Norah stared curiously at the box.

"It is a gift for Mom. Why are you so excited?"

Samuel did not like how rude Norah was.

"It's all right.Since Norah is curious, I will open it," Gloria said and opened the box.

A stunning ruby carving appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Chapter 845

"Wow.What a beautiful ruby carving!"

Norah's eyes twinkled with a coveting smile on her lips.

"Jared is so generous.Such a large piece of fine ruby carving must be worth alot!"Steve said "Nicole , when Jared has the time, invite him here for a meal."

Gloria looked at Nicole with delight.

"Okay, Mom."

Norah looked at the ruby carving and became even more jealous of Nicole.She always thought that Nicole had snatched the man who should have belonged to her.

The family rejoiced until the evening.

After Norah left, everyone else could finally breathe a sigh of relief, as if everyone except Daniel and Gloria felt uncomfortable with Norah's presence.

Nicole returned to school the next day.

Because today was a rest day, fewer students were at the school than usual.

When she was looking up some materials in the library, Zeke suddenly came looking for her.

"Nicole, you're really hard to find." Zeke had a time getting to her.

"What are you looking for me for?" Nicole glanced at him.

"I heard you helped Edwin with an urgent job?" Zeke looked at Nicole with displeasure.

"Yeah."

"Why didn't you take me with you? I'm your right-hand man." Zeke was not too happy that he was not invited.

"That job came too sudden, and I forgot about you."

Nicole continued to look at the material carefully, without turning her head to look at him.

"You forgot about me? You're too much."

Zeke shouted angrily, but then he realized he was in a library.He hurriedly looked around to see if anyone was looking at him.

"You're too much." He now whispered.

"But I have a more exciting job right now.Are you interested?"

Nicole now turned to look at him.When Zeke heard that there was a more exciting job, he was exhilarated.

"What exciting job?"

"I'm going to infiltrate The Hunters," Nicole spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Zeke was stunned.

"Are you crazy? There are tons of top hackers on The Hunters, and the head of the dark site is said to be one of the best.Aren't you asking for trouble by attacking them?"

"I'm looking for a person's identity, and the only place I can find the person's identity is The Hunters.So I've got to hack it."

Nicole looked at him seriously and resolutely.Zeke scratched his head with uneasiness.

"Hold your horses.I will figure out a way and then improve the decryptor." Nicole looked at him and nodded.

After Zeke left, Nicole sat in the library for a long time, then returned to the dormitory with a stack of books in her hand.

Sitting in a chair, Nicole remembered what Carl had said and felt that there was more to what happened to Zane than met the eyes.So she picked up her phone and texted Zane.

[Where are you?]

After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply from Zane, Nicole had no choice but to deal with what was at hand first.

She picked up a book and continued to read.

The next day, Nicole led her classmates to continue training in the sports field.She still could do nothing just yet because she had not heard from Zeke.

All she could do now was wait for Zeke's news while preparing for the sports day.

There were still a few days left before the sports day.

The training on the sports field today was intense but orderly.

"You all have undergone days of intense training.Now let's test how far you all could go, shall we? Do you have confidence?" Nicole shouted.

"Absolutely."

"Then let's start with the 100-meter dash." Nicole looked at Gary.

Gary and a few classmates of his had warmed up and come to the starting line, just waiting for Nicole's order to race to the finish line.
