Ch. 921..925: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 921-925

Chapter 921

“Chloe, who are you talking about?” Kelly casually asked.

“Nothing. Just an acquaintance.”

Just then, some of Chloe‘s fans came up to Chloe with a gigantic bouquet. “Chloe, what you just did was just perfect, superb!”

“Thank you. Could I have your autograph?” A fan looked at her with anticipation. “Sure. Where do I sign?” Chloe did not see any pen and paper. “Just sign here.” The fan pointed to the left shoulder and leaned close to Chloe.

Chloe smiled awkwardly, but remained polite as she gave him her autograph.

“Thank you. Love you.“

“I‘m going up to take a break,” Chloe said to the director and headed upstairs.

She was sitting in the lounge and thinking about her sighting of Nicole just now when someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

Norah pushed the door open and walked in. “I‘m here to visit you.”

“What are you doing here?” Chloe asked.

“Are you free at noon? Let‘s have lunch together.” Norah invited Chloe with a serious expression.

Chloe sized up Norah for a moment. “Why not?”

In the restaurant, Norah cut her steak and glanced at Chloe. “Is your work going well lately?”

“It went pretty well.” Chloe was still not too friendly.

Norah smiled. “Grandpa is going to invite Nicole and Jared to his house in a few days. Are you free to go back?”

“I don‘t know how the schedule is going to work out yet, but there should be time.” Chloe thought of the family getting together and expected something going to happen.

Norah looked around and then looked at Chloe. “What do you think the situation would be if the family found out that Nicole stole such a valuable diamond?” She was prepared to embarrass Nicole in front of the family members.

“You‘re not going to say it in public, are you?” Chloe thought Norah would be stupid enough to do that.

“Why would I come out on my own? Of course, someone else would do this dirty job. But it might require your

cooperation.” Norah glanced at her with a meaningful look.

“You want me to cooperate? What do you mean?” Chloe did not understand what Norah meant. “Someone will definitely ask you about the diamond. When the time comes, as long as you insist that the diamond that you have handed over to Nicole is the real Dresden Green Diamond, people will definitely not think you are lying but that Nicole has stolen the diamond and doesn‘t admit it.” Norah‘s eyes lit up as she came up with the plot.

Chloe‘s heart skipped a beat, as she did not expect that Norah could be so scheming at such a young age. “No problem. It looks like I have to go there myself.” As long as she could vilify Nicole, she would have a chance to divide Nicole and Jared, and then Jared would be hers.

“It would be best if you can go.” Norah did not forget to high–hatted her.

After lunch, Norah left.

Taking advantage of the time when Chloe and Norah were having lunch, Nicole gave Kelly some additional instructions before leaving.

Nicole was back at the sea view villa, and Tia was thrilled to see the cool Lamborghini as if it was bought for her.

“This car is too cool. Whose is it?” Tia walked around the car and could not take her eyes off it.

“It is mine,” Nicole uttered calmly.

“Yours? You bought a car?”

Chapter 922

“It was Jared who bought it for me,” Nicole said happily. “Mr. Johnston really has taste. The car he bought for you is not only luxurious but also very much in line with your style. Give him a like.”

“Knock it off. What’s Grandma doing?” Nicole asked.

“She was just sunbathing for a while, and now she’s sunning her quilt.” Tia could not understand Mrs. Wallace Sr.’s behavior.

“It’s okay. Grandma is used to living in a mountain village, and she feels uncomfortable not doing something every day. Let her do whatever she wants, as long as she doesn’t get hurt,” Nicole said to Tia, who then understood.

“Don’t worry. I will take care of her.” Tia assured Nicole.

“Grandma, I’m home.” Nicole walked over to Mrs. Wallace Sr. who was sunning her quilt.

“You are back! I will make something to eat? What do you, like?” Mrs. Wallace Sr. stopped what she was doing. She took Nicole’s hand and walked back into the house.

When they came to the kitchen, Mr. Wallace Sr. realized that she did not know how to use the kitchen equipment. She looked around, not knowing what to do. Nicole and

Tia smiled at each other upon seeing that. “Grandma , you can just tell them what you want to do. You don’t have to do it yourself,” Nicole said.

“Alas, I’m getting old and can’t do anything.” Mrs. Wallace Sr. was dejected.

Nicole looked at Mr. Wallace Sr. and wanted to help her get her confidence back. “Grandma, there’s something I need your help with.”

When she heard Nicole needed her help with something, she immediately got excited and looked at Nicole. “What is it?”

“Didn’t you know how to take care of flowers in your old house? I have a few pots of flowers that I want you to help me take care of.”

“Okay, bring it here. I guarantee they will bloom every day.” Mrs. Wallace Sr. said with a smile.

“OK, I will bring the flowers over this afternoon.”

“Okay.”

“Are we having sandwiches or pasta for lunch?” Nicole asked Mrs. Wallace Sr.

“Pasta it is. You are working outside. Eating pasta will make you feel full longer.” Mrs. Wallace Sr. genuinely cared for Nicole, who was still the same little girl needing her care.

“Okay, then we will have pasta.”

After having lunch with Mrs. Wallace Sr., Nicole left the flower shopping to Tia and then went to her room.

Nicole was thrilled to receive a message from Zane when she took out her laptop and turned it on.

[It’s not convenient to contact you now, but don’t worry about me.]

Nicole looked at the message Zane had sent her and tried to figure out what had happened to him. ‘Zane could be injured; he would only tell me not to worry when he is hurt.

Nicole could no longer sit still and question him.

[Where are you?]

She then contacted Carl immediately.

[Where are you, Carl?]

[I’m at the boarding gate, just about to board my flight back home).

[Don’t board the plane. Wait for me to come over to you.]

Carl was confused, but he knew Nicole must have had her reason. So he left the airport and found a place to stay.

Nicole wanted to book a flight to meet Carl right away but realized that her grandfather was still waiting to see her and Jared. She took out the phone and called Jared.

“Are you free tonight to go with me to see my grandpa?” Nicole sounded insistent.

“What’s going on?” Jared clearly sensed that something was wrong with Nicole.

“Nothing. Just that Grandpa wants us to go back and have dinner with him.” Nicole did not tell him what had happened.

“Sure. I will pick you up later.”

Chapter 923

“It is alright. I will drive there myself.” Nicole wanted to get there as soon as possible. If she had enough time, maybe she could catch the latest flight.

“See you at my grandpa‘s house.” Nicole hung up. Feeling that Nicole was a little out of sorts, Jared dropped the paperwork in his hands and drove straight to Mr. Riddle Sr.‘s house.

“Grandpa, Jared and I will be back to see you in a while.” Nicole called her grandfather.

“Okay. I will have someone arrange it now. You guys just come.” Mr. Riddle Sr. was overjoyed to hear that Nicole was coming with Jared.

Nicole packed up her belongings and then called for Tia.” I may not be staying back here for a while, so you take good care of Grandma here.”

“Okay, Nicole.” Tia did not ask more questions.

Nicole came to Mrs. Wallace Sr.‘s room to say goodbye.” Grandma, Grandpa asked me to stay at his house for a while. I may not come here to see you for some days. If you need anything, just tell Tia. She will take care of you.”

“Don‘t worry. I can take care of myself. You go ahead and get busy. Don‘t worry about me.” Mrs. Wallace Sr. knew

Nicole was busy and did not want to burden her.

“I will be back to see you when I‘m done.” Nicole hugged Mr. Wallace Sr. for a long time and then got up and left.

The Lamborghini was speeding toward Mr. Riddle Sr.’s house. As Nicole arrived and parked up her car, she saw Jared waiting for her at the entrance.

“You are waiting for me?” Nicole walked over and took his arm.

“What do you say?”

“Let‘s get inside together.” Nicole took Jared by the arm and walked inside the mansion.

Mr. Riddle Sr. and Daniel and his wife were sitting inside talking when they saw Nicole and Jared walk in.

“Grandpa, Mom, Dad.” Nicole was the first to greet them.

“Come on over.” Mr. Riddle Sr. said.

“Mr. Riddle Sr., Mr. and Mrs. Riddle, how do you do?” Jared greeted them politely.

“Please take a seat.”

Nicole and Jared sat down next to Mr. Riddle Sr. when voices came from the doorway. They looked toward the door and saw the other three families.

“Dad, why did you call us over in such a hurry?” Damien asked as he walked toward Mr. Riddle Sr.

“Sit down and talk.”

“Today is Nicole and Jared‘s first time back since they got betrothed, so I called everyone over to liven things up.” Mr. Riddle Sr. spoke after everyone had sat down.

“So that‘s what this is about.” Damien thought it was some big deal. He gave Nicole a disdainful look, but did not dare look at Jared.

Dillon looked at Jared. “Mr. Johnston , I was too busy to have a drink with you on the day of your betrothal. But today, we shall have a good drink.”

Dillon picked up a glass of wine to toast Jared.

“Absolutely.” In response , Jared picked up his glass to toast Dillon.

“Nicole, how do you find the house?” Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at her.

“It is very comfortable . You are really good at choosing houses. The view is superb. You can go to see it when you have time.” Nicole thanked him.

“I‘m glad that you like it.” When he saw Nicole liked it, he knew it was worth it.

“It is a house from Grandpa; you can‘t expect anything less,” Karen said, getting green–eyed.

“You have given Nicole a villa with a sea view. Why don‘t we have one?” Raine asked.

“That is a gift for Nicole‘s betrothal. When you get engaged, I will buy each of you a house as well.” Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at her with a smile.

Since Mr. Riddle Sr. had said so, Raine did not dare to ask for anything, and could only sit down resentfully.Chloe glanced at Jared every now and then, thinking about why such a handsome and wealthy man was not her man.

 

Chapter 924

Chloe turned to look at Mr. Riddle Sr. “Grandpa , how do you like the Dresden Green Diamond that I asked Nicole to pass to you the other day?”

Before Mr. Riddle Sr. could say anything, Snow chimed in. “There is no Dresden Green Diamond that you are talking about. It is only an ordinary diamond.”

Chloe immediately looked at Snow in surprise. “What did you say? An ordinary diamond?”

“Yes. Raine and I were both present that day. Inside the box was just an ordinary diamond,” Snow said with certainty. At first, Mr. Riddle Sr. wanted to play down the issue, but now it seemed that he could not.

“Impossible. I looked at it when Henry brought it to me; it was not an ordinary diamond. I even checked it again on purpose before I handed it to Nicole.” Chloe looked at Snow with a shocked face.

“Nicole, what was Snow just talking about?” Chloe looked at Nicole in disbelief.

The entire family understood what it was about at this point, and they all, including Jared, looked at Nicole. “When I brought the box to Grandpa and opened it, there was indeed an ordinary diamond inside,” Nicole said calmly.

“Nicole, what are you talking about? When I took it to you, it was no ordinary diamond. I told you to be careful; have you forgotten all that?” Chloe looked at her with a puzzled face and a questioning look in her eyes.

“Why would Chloe want to self–loot? Did you take it and didn‘t dare to admit it, Nicole?” Snow held a grudge against Nicole for stealing Harvey from her, so she stood on Chloe‘s side.

“Yeah, Chloe wouldn‘t take her own stuff. Explain to everyone quickly; did something happen on the way? If something has really happened and you have lost the diamond, Chloe won‘t blame you.” Norah appeared to be speaking for Nicole, but in reality, was trying to convince others that Nicole had tampered with it.

Jared wanted to help Nicole, but he did not know what was going on and had no way to defend her, except to feel anxious for Nicole.

“I can‘t believe this is happening, Nicole. Did you see the diamond and want to take it as your own?” Karen pointed at Nicole. In her mind, it was Nicole who swapped the Dresden Green Diamond with an ordinary one, as a girl like Nicole from the countryside would most likely steal when she saw such expensive stuff.

“It seems like you all know Chloe well enough to think I have tampered with it, doesn‘t it?” Nicole cast an icy look at them.

“Let me ask you guys; what does Chloe like?” She looked at each of them, but none of them, not even Miley, could answer.

“No one knows, do you? If you all don‘t know, what makes you think she is not a suspect? Is it just because she was the one who entrusted it to me?”

“Since immemorial , embezzlement has happened again and again. You all suspect me with no proof. Are you all doing it intentionally?” Nicole glanced at their faces, and none of them dared to meet her eyes. “I will find out the truth and clear my name, but I will also not let the bad guys get the punishment they deserve.”

“Grandpa , thank you for inviting us. We have things to do, so we will leave now,” Nicole said, standing up with Jared and leaving straight away. “You all have ruined the family gathering. Is a diamond that important?” Mr. Riddle Sr. was furious.

“Alfred , find out what has actually happened. I want to punish those who cause disharmony in the family severely,” he said coldly and went upstairs.

Silence fell in the living room. No one expected Mr. Riddle Sr. to lose his temper like this. Everyone at the table looked at each other, and no one knew what to do.

“We will leave first,” Daniel spoke after a long while as he left with his family. His three elder brothers were seeing Daniel‘s sour face for the first time.

 

Chapter 925

“Why are you still sitting here? Disperse.” Damien said with a peeved look on his face. What had been a wonderful reunion had been spoiled by Norah’s underhanded manipulation, and that was the result she wanted to see. In the car, Jared looked at Nicole saying nothing. He believed Nicole was not that kind of person. Nicole suddenly stopped the car at the side of the road and looked at Jared.

“I won’t drive you back to the villa.” Jared looked Nicole in the eyes.

“Where are you going?”

At first, Nicole did not plan to tell him, but they had gotten so upset tonight that she was afraid he would worry about her if she did not tell him again. “I’m going abroad to take care of some things.”

“Abroad? Right now?” Jared did not ask what was going on but looked at her with a serious face.

“Yeah, the flight is in a little while.”

He knew he could not stop her and that she must have something urgent to deal with. He reached out and stroked her hair. “How soon will you be back?” Nicole took a long breath.

“I don’t know.”

Jared glanced at her and kissed her on the lips for a long while. “Take care. Remember, there’s someone in this city who will always be waiting for you.”

Nicole’s eyes reddened with emotion as she plunged into Jared’s arms for a long time. She then gently let go and took the pendant off her neck and put it in Jared’s hands.

“I will come back safely.” Nicole looked at him affectionately.

“I will give you a lift.!

“It is okay.” Nicole got out of the car and hailed a cab toward the airport. Jared got out of the car and looked on as the cab carrying Nicole disappeared into the distance with emotion. He then got into the car and floored the gas pedal to catch up with the cab.

At the boarding gate, Nicole looked back involuntarily and was surprised to see that familiar figure in the crowd. Jared stood outside looking at her.

Nicole waved her hand and then boarded the plane. Looking on as Nicole went, he raised a hand and stopped it in mid-air.

Nicole sat on the plane and through the tiny window, she could still see Jared standing in front of the floor-to ceiling window, watching the plane waiting to take off. She immediately took out her cell phone and turned on the flashlight and waved it in front of the window, hoping Jared could see it.

Still in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Jared likewise turned on the flashlight of his cell phone, and the two gazed at each other as if they could communicate telepathically. The plane took off into the sky, and Jared’s gaze went up with the plane until it was out of sight. On the plane, Nicole clutched her phone with both hands. Suddenly a feeling of solicitude, which she had never had before , hit her. In the past, she was brave and fearless , going anywhere with no worry. She wondered what was wrong with her this time, questioning this feeling, which she was not supposed to have, and suspecting if it was because of him.

She turned on her cell phone again, looking at the photos they took together at the beach, almost heartbroken. Carl had received Nicole’s flight information and came to the airport to pick her up. Nicole had just walked out of the airport when she saw Carl. They gave each other a hug.

“It has been a long while.”

“It has been a long while. Get in the car.” Carl got into the driver’s seat and started the car to drive away from the airport.

Nicole checked out the hotel room to make sure that it was safe before taking out her laptop.
