My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 2893

Deep down, Nicole knew that letting the bomb go off would be much more ideal than defusing it. This would trick Damien into thinking that his plan had succeeded. The flip side to allowing the blast to occur, however, was that Nicole's family would be in for a shock of their lives.

And since she did not want her family to think that the blast had affected her, she decided to defuse it.

"I trust that you know what you're doing, but we don’t have any tools to work with. Can you do it?" Jared asked.

After all, Nicole was once the Turmann family's chief weapons designer. Thus, defusing a simple bomb would be a piece of cake for her. However, Nicole did not have the tools she needed at the moment, prompting Jared to wonder how it would be possible.

Resourceful as always, Nicole smirked at the look of doubt on him. Then, she pulled a bobby pin out of her hair, and with a slight twist, the pin transformed into a long needle, one end with a sharp, jagged tip.

Pleasantly surprised by what she just did, Jared smiled, shook his head, and asked, "When did you design that?"

"Quite some time ago. Originally, it was meant for selfdefense. I didn't expect that I can finally put it to good use today," Nicole answered.

Then, she lowered her head to examine the bomb structure, during which she began thinking about how to defuse it safely and properly. She had less than a minute left on the clock, and so, she had to hurry up. And as expected, with her brain on overdrive, she discovered what she needed to do less than fifteen seconds later.
