My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 1513

Chapter 1513

“During the crusade, there were more than a hundred families involved who were part of the alliance. Although some of them had disappeared, two-thirds of the century- old families that had survived are all in San Joto today.There are only a few based in the west coast. Most of them settled in San Joto, while some who aren't here had branched out,"

Mr. Riddle Sr. said.

Nicole immediately understood why the news had spread so quickly. ‘Curse the system! I should've blocked the system's message function before I was recognized as the owner of the crest!’

Nicole had wanted to keep it a secret from her parents and brothers, but from the looks of it, it would be way too difficult for her to do so now.

"If you can't keep it concealed, you might as well announce your identity with utmost confidence. After all, the true hermits are the ones holed up in major cities," Jared's voice suddenly echoed through the room.

Nicole turned around, and that was when she saw Jared entering the house.

"This guy had left the Riddle residence for his headquarters in the wee hours of the morning. I thought he would not be back here so soon, and yet, here he is,’ she thought.

Jared noticed that Nicole was not very welcoming, and so, he gave her an affectionate look before flashing her a smile. "What's wrong? Did you miss me?"

"Cut the crap. Mr. Riddle Sr. is still here.”

‘This dude is getting bolder by the day. Even with grandpa around he’s still pulling these sort of stunts,’ she thought.

Jared smiled, stopping his teasing, whereupon several men followed him in.

"My grandfather had gotten his men to deliver the gift he had prepared, Mr. Riddle Sr. By the way, he also asked when you would invite him to a reception dinner.”

"A reception dinner? What kind of reception dinner would this be? People would assume so if they thought that this banquet is their reception dinner...but it looks nothing like that to me...”

“Alright, don't worry about any of that. These people are all here to give you a helping hand. It's better to be safe than sorry, considering that our enemies might come back to have another go at you,” Jared said to Nicole, the look on his face fearless as always.

However, Jared's words surprised Mr. Riddle Sr., who asked, "Someone attacked Nicole?"

Nicole rolled her eyes at Jared at once. "You run your mouth a little too much."
