My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 1786
Jared raised his brows in surprise. "Of course! Not only is the technology still in its developmental stage, there are also only a
small percentage of countries that are able to use it. On top of it all, there are quite too many restrictions involved."
"Come to think of it, we can try and break these restrictions," she said.
What kind of calculation is this? Before this, none of them were usable, and on top of that, the Dodge Tomahawk was my
creation,' Nicole pondered.
"Carl already has this technology in his grasp. It's just that I haven't gotten around to helping him with perfecting it."
It was through sheer luck that the Turmanns were not directly involved in this line of technological work. Instead, they specialized
in mechanical technology, and this gave Nicole a peace of mind.
"So that was why you were so confident when she asked you to lead the team, but then again, she didn't say you couldn't use
stereoscopic images," Jared said.
Nicole flashed him a cunning smile. "Not to mention, I have to personally show up and lead the team myself. After all, there is
actually nothing much to work on, aside from monitoring the system."
Jared himself knew that most of the tasks were done by machines, and thus, there was no real need for anyone to show up in
order to do it in person. With that said, both Nicole and Jared knew that it was just an excuse for Mona to embarrass them.
"However, we've successfully locked the deal! That father and daughter duo will probably be very dismayed that most of the
profits will be given to the Johnston Group. We must still be on guard," Nicole added.
"Don't worry about it.' Jared looked at Nicole playfully and stated with a smile. "You are gradually assuming the role of the missus
of the Johnston family."
Hearing that, Nicole suddenly felt embarrassed. "Cut the crap and let's go. There should be tons of people waiting outside for
you."
'The press conference this time is not intended to attract the Montferrat family,' she thought.
"Yes, my missus. You'll have the final say to everything," Jared said, after which he got up and wrapped his arms around Nicole's
waist.

Nicole wanted to push him away as soon as he did that.
However, he was way too strong, so she stopped resisting and just allowed him to do so anyway.
The two of them entered the hall, by which time the explanation was already over, with only a small crowd continuing to watch
the product video discussing the technical aspects featuring Terry and Ike.
Noticing Jared and Nicole's presence, most of the audience began to surround them, handing out business cards to express
their willingness to cooperate. Jared left his card with one of the few major enterprises while Nicole stayed by his side, watching
him while he dealt with those people.
Nicole was in awe as she found a Jared who was busy with his work to be really charming. Nicole was at a loss for words as she
watched on, feeling at peace while being by his side.
Suddenly, Nicole felt that the atmosphere had become odd. She whirled her head around and noticed a sniper rifle perched atop
the corridor of the second-floor hall.
Before Nicole could come to her senses, she had already instinctively rushed toward Jared. "Be careful!"
Jared had no time to react before he was thrown down by Nicole. The crowd that was once surrounding them had started
speaking in hushed tones. It was mere seconds before the bullet grazed the floor inches away from both Nicole and Jared.
The crowd were in shock when they saw the two of them on the ground with two-gunshots as the silenced bullets struck the
ground near their feet. The crowd then scattered, screaming as they dispersed.
”0h, my goodness!"
"RUN!" the attendees of the press conference yelled.
Nicole knew that the assassin would not stop until Jared had been shot. She pulled Jared along and they rolled all the way to
one of the pillars before stopping. Jared then pulled
Nicole up and placed her against the pillar to protect her.
Nicole frowned. "Those people are here for you! Why are you protecting me?!"
"You are the most important thing to me," Jared said.
