Chapter 1769
My Wife is a Hacker
Though Stanley did not hit Spencer, he was cheering Samuel on. âNice! He deserved it!â
The dining area was noisy, with Gloria and Daniel being able to hear them before they had even gotten downstairs.
âWhat are you talking about? Youâre all so cheery in the morning.â Gloria walked over with a smile.
The twins got their act together the instant they saw their mother.
Samuel then rolled his eyes at Spencer. âThis jerk was saying nasty things in front of Nicole.â
Gloriaâs expression changed immediately. âSpencer, how could you do that?
Hearing that, Spencer became dispirited and turned to glare at Samuel.â Snitch.â
Once Gloria and Daniel had sat down, the three brothers started to behave.
Sean and Steve were the last to join them, but they had been working in their study room long before they made their way downstairs. They were very well-dressed too, looking as if they had plans for later.
âSean and Steve, why are you dressed in such fancy clothing?â âAre you going out?â Samuel and Spencer asked.
Sean nodded. âYeah, Steve and I won the tender. The partnering company is holding a banquet today, and everyone who participated in the bid has to join the banquet, so that they may have a chance to work together in the future.â âYou won?â Spencer laughed. âIs it because Nicole has found their reserve price?â
Steve chuckled and looked at Nicole with admiration. â Not only that, but Nicole also discovered that they will cheat. They even threatened us when we won the bid, and⦠that was when we put the document that Nicole had given us to good use.â
When Daniel saw that Steve was smirking, he asked, âWhat document? Iâve been curious these days too. When Howdy Corporation came to you the other day, they probably did not come in peace. So, how and why did they leave in such a state of disgrace?â
Steve went on to reveal the truth when he saw how curious his father was.â Nicole found their core account when she hacked into their computer. In other words, we have evidence of them committing to tax evasion. If we expose them, theyâre going to jail!â
And when Daniel finally understood what was going on, he was shocked.
âNicole⦠You actually got your hands on their accounts?â
That was a classified document of a company, and thus, every company would do their utmost to protect theirs. They would even use the best system to secure it, and yet, Nicole was still able to access it.
âYeah, itâs nothing,â Nicole said coolly, which served to shock them even more.
Something that easy for her would be an arduous task for every hacker and Network Security Officer in their company. Still, it was just a walk in the park for her.
âNicole⦠Will you be caught?â Gloria asked, worried as she looked at Nicole.
The other party got a hold of their reserve price through despicable means and had done their bidding with malice not once, but twice. All Nicole had done was give them a taste of their own medicine, and everyone in her family agreed that it was a reasonable thing to do. Still, they did not want her to get into hot soup for it.
âDonât worry, mom.â Nicole comforted Gloria. âI didnât leave any traces behind, so theyâre still probably oblivious to who had leaked their accounts.â
Everyone was relieved when she said that, but they were still in awe of her.
âNicole. Where did you acquire your hacking skills? From your organization? Are they that good?â
