Ch. 911..915: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 911-915

Chapter 911

"Okay, what is the test?" Kelly asked Nicole.

“I will ask you a few questions first, and after you answer them all, then we will have a practical test." Nicole saw Kelly agree and continued to ask for the desired answers.

"Did Chloe have any contact with Henry for the past few days?” Kelly recalled a moment.

“A few days ago, Mr.Johnston had met with Chloe, asking Chloe to help him bring a Dres something diamond to the old gentleman of the Riddle family.”

“Dresden Green Diamond?”

“Yes,that is the name.It is too long.I can’t remember it.“ Kelly scratched her head in embarrassment.

"And did you get a look at the diamond?" Nicole finally heard the answer she had been waiting for.

“I saw it.Mr.Johnston opened the box in front of Chloe, and I was on the side.” Kelly told of what she had seen.

Nicole hurriedly took out her phone and found a picture of the diamond to show to Kelly.

"Is this the same diamond as this one?" Kelly shook his head after looking at it carefully.

“It is not the same.This one is a different color than the one Mr.Johnston took.”

“Are you sure?” Nicole asked again.

"I'm sure."

It was all clear now that the problem was with Chloe; she was the thief who called another thief.

“You go back and stay with Chloe.If you see a Dresden Green Diamond in her hand, quietly take a picture and send it to me." Nicole took out her phone and exchanged telephone numbers with Kelly.

“Will this offend Chloe?” Kelly asked worriedly.

“Nah, this is just part of the test.Chloe knows.She will also deliberately watch out for you.If you succeed , you will be promoted," Nicole promised.

"Okay, I will complete the test." Kelly was full of confidence.

“Get to work now.”

After Kelly left, Max spoke.

"Miss Riddle, are you doing this to investigate something?" Nicole did not want Jared to know about it yet.

"I just want to pick a smart girl to be my assistant.” Max knew in his heart, so he asked no more questions.

"Has Jared finished his meeting?" Max looked at the time.

"The meeting is over now."

"Let's go find him." Nicole got up and went to Jared’s office.

Seeing Nicole walk in, Jared said, "I was about to call you, and you came in.What do you think we have here?"

"Sort of psychic connection.” Nicole approached him, and Max backed right out.

"If you are not doing anything later, can you go somewhere with me?” Nicole looked at him with lustrous eyes.

"Where?"

"The sea view villa that my grandpa gifted me."

“Yeah, let’s go now.” Jared held her hands and went downstairs.

The car drove on a wide stretch of road for a short time before coming to a beautiful seaview villa.

Jared stopped the car, and the two of them entered the villa.

Nicole exclaimed, "What a beautiful villa! Grandpa is still the one who loves me the most.”

“Don’t I love you?” Jared said with jealousy.

“Come on.Are you jealous of Grandpa?" Nicole gave him a look.

"Come on in." Nicole dragged Jared into the villa for a tour, then back up to the rooftop.

 

Chapter 912

“I finally have a home of my own,” Nicole exclaimed as she looked out to sea.

“I’m going to bring my grandma over to live with me so she can enjoy life in her golden years.” Jared looked at her in puzzlement.

“It is not like you are short of money. So why didn’t you buy a house and bring your grandma over earlier?”

“If it was a house in my name, Grandma would have been suspicious, which is why I delayed bringing her to live with me. Now it is different; the house is a gift from Grandpa, so I know how to answer if Grandma asks.” Nicole was happy as a child at the moment.

“Okay, I will go with you tomorrow to pick up your grandma.” Jared loved her so much that he would do anything for her. Nicole was touched and snuggled in Jared’s arms.

“I’m grateful to have you.” Jared kissed her hair and hugged her a little tighter.

The next day, Jared and Nicole had breakfast and then set off for the small town where Nicole’s grandmother lived. The weather was clear and cloudless. Jared and Nicole sat in the car, relaxing and listening to music.

“I have hardly ever heard you talk about your grandma, but yesterday on the rooftop, I could tell from the look in your eyes that you had that affection for her that seemed to transcend the bloodline.” Jared looked into Nicole’s eyes.

“I grew up in foster care in the countryside and lived with my grandma, who is my closest relative in this world. In our small mountain village, remote and poor, many children did not go to school. To make me literate and successful, my grandma walked several miles to the town every day to sell baskets to support my study. I could not bear to see my aging grandma working so hard every day, so I said I did not want to go to school. The result was a furious grandmother. She did not spank me or anything, but hid in her room and quietly cried.

“Since then, I have studied extra hard to give back to my grandma with my best grades. Then I studied computers and earned my first bucket of gold and bought her a new set of clothes, but I never saw her wear them. When I asked her about it, she said she had returned it, saying I shouldn’t waste money and that she wanted to save for my future college. I had a fight with her because of that.”

Speaking of which, Nicole looked out of the car window, her eyes welling up. This was the first time she had told someone about her and her grandmother. Jared listened to Nicole’s story and felt a lump in his throat. He was sorry for the girl in front of him, thinking that had he met her earlier, she would not have to suffer so much.

“It will be a few hours before we get there. Do you want to get some shut-eye?” Jared asked her gently. Nicole still did not dare to look at him. She reclined the seat and looked up at the blue sky. The car sped down the highway, and after a few hours of driving, it went off into a mountain road, where it was foggy and dewy. So Jared took off his jacket and draped it over Nicole.

“Are we there yet?” Nicole came out of her nap and looked over at Jared.

“We should be there soon.” She sat up straight and stretched a bit, then looked at the increasingly familiar scenery and opened the window to take a deep breath.

“It still smells familiar, so fresh.”

Passing through the town, the school where Nicole once attended had been given a new look. Pedestrians in the town saw a few expensive cars driving by slowly and speculated which big shot was coming to visit. As the car drove onto a village road, a small house came into view. Soon they arrived in front of the house of Nicole’s grandmother. The car slowly ground to a halt. Nicole and Jared got out and walked inside, where a familiar figure was weaving bamboo baskets in the middle of the courtyard.

“Grandma.” Nicole called out as she saw her grandmother. Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked up at the voice.

“Nicole?” Nicole rushed over and took Mrs. Wallace Sr.’s hand.

” How are you, Grandma?”

“It is really you, Nicole.” She could not believe her eyes and looked at Nicole with amazement. She kept stroking Nicole’s hand and would not let go.

“Why are you back suddenly?”

 

Chapter 913

"I'm coming back to get you." Nicole let out a radiant smile as she saw her grandmother was still in good health.

“This is my fiancé.” Nicole introduced Jared to her.

“Hello, Grandma .Nicole and I are here to pick you up." Jared looked at her with heartfelt respect.

"Pick me up? Where to?" She looked over at Nicole.

"Come live with me in the city."

"You have a stable job now?” Her grandma asked with concern.

"Yeah, and I have even bought a house."

"That is great.I’m happy that you have a stable job.Work harder and make friends with others.I won't go with you; I'm used to living here." Mrs.Wallace Sr.knew that houses in the city were expensive, and even if Nicole could afford one, it would not be large.

Besides, she did not want to disturb the life of Nicole and Jared.

“You have to go.I can afford to take care of you now, and I want you to enjoy your retirement.” Nicole took the woven basket in Mrs.

Wallace Sr.'s hand, put it aside, and brought her into the house to sit down.Mrs.Wallace Sr.ushered them to sit down and was about to turn around to get them some water.

Nicole knew what her grandmother was going to do and stopped her.

“Don’t bother.The car is waiting for us.Let’s pack first and then we will go.” Mrs.Wallace Sr.still did not agree to go to the city with her, but Nicole had decided that she was going to take her along, no matter what.

After much persuasion , Mrs.Wallace Sr.finally agreed.

She packed up her valuable things, and Nicole helped her get in the car to return to the city.

When leaving, Mrs.Wallace Sr.kept glancing back, reluctant to leave the small house that she had lived in all her life.

She locked the door and took another good look at the small courtyard before getting into the car withNicole.

On the way back, Nicole asked Max to drive a little faster, as she was worried that her grandmother might get tired.

At last, the car slowly stopped in front of the sea view villa.

Nicole helped Mrs.Wallace Sr.out of the car.

"Grandma, do you like it here?" "It is so beautiful." Mrs.Wallace Sr.looked at the massive villa, all praises.

“You will live here from now on.This is our home,” Nicole said.

Mrs.Wallace Sr.nodded and walked in with them.

Nicole had prepared a sunny room for Mrs.Wallace Sr..Sitting in the room, Mrs.Wallace Sr.enjoyed the sunshine and the sea view.

“This is Tia.She will take care of you from now on." Nicole introduced a girl to Mrs.Wallace Sr..

“Hello, Mrs.Wallace Sr., my name is Tia." Tia Rose is a kind girl who always had a pleasant smile on her face.

“Tia, is the meal ready?” Nicole asked.

Besides Tia, Nicole had also hired other maids with respective roles for her grandmother.

“It is ready.The cook has made a hearty and nutritious meal."

"Grandma , let’s go eat.” Nicole helped Mrs.Wallace Sr.walk toward the dining room.

"Grandma, you sit here." Nicole helped Grandma sit in the main seat.

“How wasteful it is to cook so many dishes.Don’t cook so much next time.” Mrs.Wallace Sr.was used to living frugally, so she was a little uncomfortable to see so many dishes all of a sudden.

"It is a reception for your coming today, so I have asked them to make a more sumptuous meal.” Nicole had to make up an excuse to muddle through.

“That is still too much.” Mrs.Wallace Sr.

 

Chapter 914

Nicole looked at her grandmother , feeling regretful , as Mrs. Wallace Sr. had been living a hard life all this while.She told herself she had to take care of Mrs.Wallace Sr.from now on.

Nicole and Jared had lunch with Mrs.Wallace Sr., and took her to the beach to get up close and personal with the ocean.

There were still many old folks living inland who had never seen what the sea looked like in their lives.After Mrs.Wallace Sr.settled in, Nicole told Jared to go home while she stayed with her for a few days.

On the rooftop, Mrs.Wallace Sr.rested in a rocking chair in the sun, while Nicole took out her laptop and worked on the other side.

She sent a message to Sean.

[How is your investigation of the material problem going? Did the material supplier continue to supply?] Soon, Sean replied.

[A few days before the material supplier resumed supply, there were indeed several companies in the market hoarding goods at high prices, but then, they suddenly stopped hoarding, and the company resumed supply this time.]

[Glad to hear that.]

Nicole had one less thing to worry about with this problem settled.She had not heard from Zane since she last contacted him.

Nicole was concerned about him and sent a message to Zane, hoping to get a reply from him this time.

Suddenly her phone rang, and she picked it up, it was Gloria calling “Hi, Mom.”

“You haven’t been home for days.Spencer and Samuel are back today, so are you back too?” Gloria asked tentatively.

Nicole could hear that Gloria was missing her.

"Okay, I will be back later."

"Okay, we will wait for you to come back for dinner,”Gloria said and hung up.

“Tia, I’m going to go out.You stay here with Grandma." After giving her instructions and speaking to Mrs.

Wallace Sr., Nicole left the sea view villa.

Back in the Riddle Mansion, Gloria and Norah were chatting on the couch.

When they saw Nicole back, Gloria happily came up to her.

"What would you like to eat tonight, Nicole? I will ask the kitchen to make it for you.”

“Whatever.” Nicole had nothing to say.

“You were so beautiful on your betrothal day.I have wanted to come up and talk to you, but seeing as you were so busy, I didn’t go over,” Norah said, trying to express her goodwill.

"Where are Spencer and Samuel?" Nicole asked about them both instead of answering Norah.

“We’re here.” Samuel heard Nicole’s voice and shouted downstairs.

"What are you guys doing upstairs ?" Nicole got up and headed upstairs.

Norah glanced at them and hurriedly got up to follow.

" Wait for me.” Samuel and Spencer were playing a game.

"Do you want to come over and try, Nicole?"

"I'm not playing child’s play.” Nicole glanced at it and was not interested.

Norah saw Nicole was not interested , and she asked, “I want to try.Can you teach me?"

"Come over then."

The two of them made space for Norah.

Norah sat down happily between the two of them, picking up the joystick and ready to start at any moment.

She looked right and left, but Samuel and Spencer had no intention of playing with her.

So Norah inquired, "Aren't you guys playing?"

"We're tired of playing.You may play on your own." Leaving Norah behind, the two walked toward Nicole.

“What are you doing?”

“Nothing .You guys should accompany Norah." Nicole grabbed her phone and headed for her bedroom.

She closed the door and checked the message from Kelly.

[I’m sorry, Miss Nicole.Chloe has been shooting recently, and I haven't spotted anything amiss about her.]

[That is okay.Keep watching.]

 

Chapter 915

[Okay, I’ll do my best.] Nicole turned off her cell phone and was deep in thought.’ It seemed that Chloe was quite alert, and Kelly might have a problem getting a photo of her. I’ve got to help her.

Suddenly, the phone rang again. Nicole thought it was Kelly and answered it.

“Nicole, it is Martin.” Martin’s voice came from the other end of the line.

“Can I help you, Martin?”

“I’m having a little problem here, like last time. If you are free, could you come over and take a look at it for me?” Martin asked.

Since he did not sound too urgent, Nicole said, “Would it be okay if I go over tomorrow?”

“Sure, sure. Then I will wait for your call.”

“By the way, I’m sorry I couldn’t make it to your betrothal party.” Martin was so busy experimenting for the past few days, so engrossed in it that by the time he realized it, it was already the day after Nicole’s betrothal.

“It’s okay. I knew you must have been experimenting

when I didn’t see you coming. Don’t take it to heart,” Nicole reassured him. “I will see you tomorrow, bye.”

After hanging up the phone, Nicole walked out of the bedroom and passed by the rec room, which was now vacated, and wondered where they had all gone.

“You two loved Norah so much before. Why are you bullying her now? You all have grown up, haven’t you?” Gloria criticized Spencer and Samuel downstairs.

Nicole went downstairs , puzzled by what had happened. She had only been in the bedroom for a short while, and now Gloria was lecturing them now. “What happened , Mom?” Nicole glanced at Norah , who was wiping tears from her eyes behind Gloria.

“You are here just in time, Nicole. Your two brothers are behaving less and less like elder brothers. They not only did not play with Norah but also insulted her.” Gloria glared at Samuel and Spencer.

Nicole hurriedly calmed Gloria down. “Don’t be angry. They have grown up and can solve things on their own. You shouldn’t get involved.”

“Can I even say something? How can I watch Norah get bullied by those two boys and say nothing?” Seeing that she could not persuade Gloria, Nicole turned to Samuel and Spencer, glanced at Norah, and chided them with an icy face. “What’s going on? What have you done to make Mom so angry? Whose problem is it? Hurry up and admit your fault, so Mom will take the heat off you all.” Nicole scowled at the three of them.

“We have done nothing wrong, so why should we apologize?” Samuel stubbornly shot a look at Norah.

“It was my fault. I upset them.” Norah leaned against Gloria with an aggrieved look.

Gloria felt sorry and hurriedly hugged her. “Oh, baby, I will seek justice for you.” Norah shook her head. “It is alright. I don’t want my brothers to get mad.” “Norah is so understanding. Let’s ignore them and go sit over there.” Gloria wrapped her arm around Norah and walked toward the couch.

Spencer and Samuel looked at Norah’s pretentious demeanor and really wanted to expose her. Seeing Nicole wink at them, they thought better of it and went upstairs in frustration.

Nicole did not want to watch Norah act downstairs. Since Norah had moved back, something unpleasant would happen in the family every time she came home. She was just fed up with it. “Mom, we have all met, and I have some things to do and will skip dinner. I will go first.” “Why don’t you go after dinner?” Gloria wanted her to say.

“It is okay. I will come back to see you guys some other time.” Nicole walked out as she finished. Gloria tried to chase after her, but Norah suddenly burst into tears and clung to her.

Nicole was in the car when she received a call from Mr. Riddle Sr.

“Hey, Grandpa.”

“Some day when you and Jared are not busy, come back to have dinner.” Mr. Riddle Sr. would like to meet Jared.
