My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 1795

"No freaking way! This is just insane!" Spencer exclaimed, gawking at Nicole.

And he was true, for the whole thing was utterly absurd. They were dining on money stolen from the very people who had now walked right into their trap, only to be humiliated. When Mr. Howde finally realized the truth, his face turned a sickly shade of green.

"No way! I hired the Hunters, the best freaking hackers in the world! How could it be her?" Mr. Howde asked himself, unable to believe that this young girl could be the legendary hacker he was after.

Nicole saw his disbelief and decided to drop the act. "Mr. Howde, you wired me ten million this afternoon. Want me to recite your account number for you?"

At this juncture, Mr. Howde and Colton could not deny it any longer—she even knew Mr. Howde's account number, and thus, she had to be the real deal.

"You! You scam artist! Give me back my money!" Mr. Howde roared, charging at Nicole.

However, it was then that Samuel and Spencer, like two bouncers, blocked his path. The two hulking, five foot ten men completely dwarfed Mr. Howde, who could barely even see Nicole now.

Furious, he stomped his foot. "Move! Give me my money back or I'll expose you all and call the police!"

Nicole could not help but laugh at Mr. Howde's naive and empty threat. "You hired a hacker to break into someone's system and you're going to call the police? Really? If anything, they'll arrest you for stealing corporate secrets."

Mr. Howde blanched, realizing his mistake.

Nonetheless, even though calling the police was not an option, he still threatened. "Don't think I can't take you down, girl! I'll ruin your reputation as the number one hacker!"

Nicole scoffed. "The job you posted online was to get data from the Riddle Corporation's computers. I did that for you. The job's done, and there's nothing wrong with it. If you expose me, everyone will see Howdy Corporation as the bad guys, and no one will work for you ever again."

She secretly hoped he would expose her. All her fellow hackers would unite against Mr. Howde, refusing to take his jobs, and the world would be a better place without his dirty tactics when it came to stealing secrets.
