My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30 Nicole returned to her room after a lively dinner.

Samuel’s enthusiasm was overwhelming for her. Fortunately, the few of them rarely came home. Gloria wanted to know how they were doing these days, as she was preparing what they would need to take to school later.

After taking a shower, Nicole locked the door and turned on her notebook to check the job’s progress.

The monitoring code was working properly. Just as she was about to close the notebook lid, she suddenly noticed a program, which she did not code, running in the lower-left corner of the screen. The little program was emitting a faint glow. Nicole’s keen eye immediately recognized what it was: a location-tracking malware.

“Trying to track me down? Not so easy!” Nicole scoffed, her fingers flying over the keyboard, quickly closing all channels, and shutting down this specially built notebook computer.

She had many enemies. It would be too dangerous if her location was exposed. But what she did not know was that as quick as her action was, the tracking malware had still lit up on the map for a split second.

Max immediately located her coordinates and quickly reported to Jared.

“Mr. Johnston, Lucifer’s action was fast. Our location-tracking program was removed.” Jared’s expression darkened. 

“It was removed so easily?”

It was a top deciphering program he had bought with top dollar. He had even manually modified it to make it even more stealthy, but Lucifer’s hacking skills had cracked it before he knew it.

“Yes, but the program has still displayed its coordinates for 0.1 seconds.” Max was almost cheering with joy, as days of monitoring finally came to fruition.

“Really?” Jared’s eyes lit up. He also had amazing hacking skills, and 0.1 seconds was all he needed.

“I have got the precise coordinates, but it is bizarre.” Max zoomed in the map, and found the signal coordinates were set at San Joto.

 “Where?” Jared frowned. 

“The Riddle family house.” Max still felt surprised, even though he had checked and confirmed it repeatedly.

 “In the Riddle family house?” Jared was in disbelief. 

“How is this possible?” Lucifer, the famous hacker, had been hiding in the Riddle family home not far away from him? How was this possible?

His company abroad had nothing to do with Johnston Group, nor did it have any dealings with the Riddle Corporation. The Riddle family had no reason to sabotage his business.

He lost $100 million when his company’s system was paralyzed the last time. $100 million might be a drop of the ocean for him, but it was a great humiliation. So, he wanted to track down Lucifer at all costs.

Nevertheless, never had he expected this person, who he had thought was somewhere far away, to be this close to him; it was in the Riddle family home.

“Could it be that the tracking system has malfunctioned?” Jared was a little incredulous.

He let out an exaggerated smile. 

“Good morning, Steve,” Nicole responded with a smile but secretly sneered. Apparently, they had just met two days ago. Coming to the table, she still sat down next to Stanley, as usual.

Stanley was not in his school uniform but a white blouse, looking gentle as sheep and approachable. Sitting across from him was Norah, who saw that Nicole and Stanley were getting along well.

As the food was served, Nicole held up a glass of milk and smiled inadvertently at Stanley.

” Stanley, are you staying in the school hostel just like Spencer and Samuel?” Stanley nodded, not knowing why she asked. 

“Yeah, it is busier during the third year in college. So, I stay on campus.” 

“Are you bragging or what, Stanley? Third year in college is no way near as busy as in twelfth grade.” Spencer could not help but complain. Samuel echoed. 

“Absolutely. We are forced to stay on campus while you are there by choice.” Stanley looked helpless. 

“I can’t help it. The school has a library. It is more convenient for me.” Everyone in the family knew that Stanley enjoyed studying in the library, where he often spent an entire day there. 

“Since you all are all living on campus, could I apply for boarding as well?” Nicole took
