My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 1942
"Um...can you calculate how much you've lost? I'll compensate you generously. It's just that you're a wealthy guy and it's not
easy for an orphan and a widow like me to make up for all the offense I've caused. I hope you have it in you to forgive me for all
the stuff I've done," Niki suggested to avoid sullying her image in front of him any further.
Jared initially thought that she was referring to the affairs that happened today, but as it turned out, she had morphed into an
entirely new person. She was more passive and coquettish in nature.
"That depends on how well you perform now," Jared deliberately teased.
Niki mentally sighed. 'As expected, this guy is not easy to fool.'
Wanting to cut to the chase, Jared said, "For the past five years, you've been living on the Crescent Island near Ramania,
haven't you?"
Niki was momentarily taken aback before she got her guard up again. 'This guy has been investigating me. Is this why I have
been running and hiding from this guy? Leo has been helping me with my escape, so I can't rat him out now, can I?'
After pondering for a moment, she dodged the question and replied lightly, "Yeah, my plane crashed into that place. I was saved
by a fisherman."
Jared stared into Nicole's eyes to confirm that she was not lying to him, and that her timeline and alibi added up.
"You know, if a person has amnesia, they can easily retrieve their identity as long as they go to the police. I went to one and got
your information checked. For the past five years, your record has been squeaky clean. It's obvious that there were strings pulled
to give you this new identity," he said.
It would otherwise be impossible for Jared to trace Nicole down if she had not changed her identity. On the other hand, Niki had
not foreseen the fact that Jared would be so meticulous when it came to his analyses and deductions.
However, Niki had no intention of exposing Leo, and thus she said, "I hacked into the local registration system because I had to
register my son's birth into the system..."
Niki feigned pity and avoided eye contact as she spoke, afraid that she would be caught lying.

Jared looked at Nicole with an inexplicable surge of pain in his heart. He could not fathom the thought of her giving birth to a
child alone at the hospital without him by her side.
Not wanting to press on any further, he said, "I see..."
To Jared, it seemed logical for Nicole to be capable of creating a fake identity for herself. Even if she had forgotten all of her
memories, her skills had still been retained.
'It is not impossible for her to do all of this, but there's not much information leading to how she had been able to live on that
island with her son for five years. Besides, no one
knew what she was doing for a living, assuming that she was still a hacker then. Otherwise, she wouldn't have offered to
compensate me so easily,' he pondered.
"So now, you're a part of the Hunters in the dark web?" Jared asked directly.
He knew Max had discovered that Nicole had been a hunter, and that was why he did not insist on furthering the investigation.
Niki had also demonstrated her skills earlier, and so, she frankly admitted, "Yeah...I'm ranked seven."
Niki then feigned modesty and smiled, "It's not easy raising a child."
Jared looked at Nicole helplessly, not knowing that Nicole had registered a new account with the rank of seven in the
leaderboard. 'If she knew that she was ranked number one, she would be stunned.'
Jared smiled and encouragingly said, "That's amazing."
Niki was embarrassed, not knowing how to react to her enemy's sudden compliment.
Jared then turned his attention and gaze to the child sleeping on the bed and deliberately asked, "Who's the child's father?"
Niki's eyes darkened as she did not see the question coming. She had lost all of her memories from before and did not know
who the father of her child was. Leo had told her that the father of her child had abandoned them, and thus, she had since
foregone any intention to find out who that person was.
Niki smiled bitterly. "I've forgotten who it was, but my child has a godfather."

As soon as these words exited her mouth, Jared's expression turned icy. "Godfather?"
The corner of his mouth twitched. 'For the past five years, I've been missing her. I've desperately searched for her everyday but
she has instead found a godfather for her kid?'
