Ch. 101..105: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 101-105
Chapter 101
After saying her piece, she ignored the stunned Harvey Ellison and furious Snow Riddle as she took Lulu with her.
This time, no one dared to stop her.
After all, Harvey Ellison in a stupor.
If he could not do anything to Nicole, then who else can deal with her?
As they watched Nicole leaving just like that, everyone had a complicated look in their eyes.
‘What did Nicole said to Harvey, so much so that he was stunned silly?‘ They wondered.
Even Snow was totally puzzled, and as she watched Harvey stood there looking at Nicole taking Lulu away, her temper flared as she roared, “Harvey, are you just letting them go like
that?”
Harvey was lost in thought at Nicole‘s words.
She actually dared bring grandpa up.
What relationship does she have with him?
“Harvey! I’m talking to you here!” Seeing that he was still in a stupor, Snow got agitated.
Harvey lost his patience and swept a chilly gaze at her.
With that gaze alone, it made her feel like she had fallen into an ice cavern.
Was he still that gentle Harvey Ellison? Why was he so terrifying there?
Harvey, seemingly noticed her fear, the roiling in his eyes disappeared instantly as he said to her gently,” It seems like Nicole isn’t receptive to my mediation.
What should I do now?” Seeing that he returned to normal, Snow cautiously tugged his sleeve and asked, “Harvey, what were you thinking? What did she say to you?” Harvey gave her a cryptic glance, and as if he had subconsciously lifted his hand, he pulled his sleeve away from her without leaving a trace.
He then smiled and said to her, “What can happen to me?”
Seeing how he reacted, Snow then boldly asked, “Did she say something very unpleasant?”
Harvey stretched his hand out as he fiddled with the cufflink on his right hand, as he casually said, “No matter… however, we need to take a good measure of this Nicole Wallace.”
At the very least, he needed to figure out who she really was.
When Snow heard that, she thought that Harvey was going to teach Nicole a lesson.
She could not help but be excited, yet she said without her expression betraying her thought,” But Harvey, we are all classmates.
Making such a big move isn‘t nice, right?” Harvey glanced at her joyful face.
Her every move would have made him feel good last time, yet when he looked at Snow being all submissive towards him now, he felt bored.
He then said impassively, “Since she refused the gentle treatment, then she has no grounds to fault us.”
Snow gave him a surprised glance and nodded, “Yes, Nicole‘s the one who don‘t know her place.
Teaching her a lesson is part of the course.”
Harvey did not respond as he just looked at her quietly, seemingly looking at someone else through her.
After a while, he lifted his hand, as if wanting to smoothen her slightly messy hair, but eventually his hand landed somewhere else a distance away from her.
He looked on at Snow as he said softly, “Snow, your hair is a little messy.
Go to the washroom and tidy it up.
You don’t have to follow me.”
Snow knew that he did not want to see her looking disheveled, and so quickly nodded and headed to the washroom.
When she got into the washroom, she looked at her perfect, immaculate self in the mirror, and was slowly relieved.
To be honest, although she had been with Harvey for two years now, she had no idea what was in his mind at all.
He was always patient as he corrected her manners, and would also patiently help her in her studies, allowing her to stay by his side.
They would even go on a date occasionally, and he would look at her until he was lost in thought, yet he had never allowed her to touch him.
Before him, she could not keep her cool and composure.
Snow patted her cheeks with cold water, and only then did she let out a gentle smile as she slowly walked out of the washroom.
Harvey had already left.
She walked off with a casual pace as everyone gave her a strange look, with a lingering trace of pride around her.
Shortly after Nicole left the cafeteria, a message suddenly popped up on her phone.
“Nicole, come to the principal‘s office for a bit.
I have something to talk to you.”
If anyone else were to see it, they would have been shocked.
The message was from mr. Ellison, and in terms of seniority, Mr.
Ellison could have given her a direct command, but this message reeked of the desire to discuss and plead.
Nicole frowned and responded, “What‘s the matter?” The reply came quickly.
“I heard that Harvey caused you some trouble, I‘ll get him to apologize to you.”
Nicole looked at the message and recalled how Harvey Ellison acted in the cafeteria earlier.
She did not like that sort of person, but it did not mean that she would cause him trouble because of this small matter.
“I‘m fine.
There‘s no need for him to apologize to me.
I still have a class later, so I’ll pass.”.
When Mr.
Ellison saw the message on his phone, he let out a deep sigh.
How could he not know Nicole’s temper? This meant that she could not be bothered with his grandson at all.
At this moment, a series of courteous knocks came from the principal‘s office door.
Mr.
Ellison calmed himself down as he said, “Come in.”
Harvey Ellison then pushed the door and entered the room.
His face still bore the gentle smile, but when his eyes met Mr.
Ellison‘s some inexplicable emotions appeared.
He walked up respectfully to Mr.
Ellison and asked, “Grandpa, you wanted to see me?”
He too had something to ask his grandpa, but he did not expect his grandpa to call him over first.
Mr.
Ellison looked on impassively at his grandson.
In all respects, Harvey Ellison was perfect, even when he stood before him with his head lowered at this moment, he still looked very stout, like a strong oak.
Mr.
Ellison gave a satisfied nod, and said somewhat seriously, “I heard that you listened to Snow, and went to look for trouble with Nicole?“
Chapter 102
When he heard mr. Ellison asked him that, a chilly intent appeared in Harvey‘s eyes.
He really did not expect his grandfather to bring her up before he even asked him about her.
But he quickly snapped back as he shook his head and said gently, “Why would I? It‘s just that there’s some misunderstanding between Nicole and Snow.
Since the girls were unable to resolve it themselves, I got called over to mediate things.”
mr. Ellison listened and then nodded, “That’s good.
You’ve met Nicole today.
What do you think of her?”
Thinking of Nicole, Harvey looked at Mr.
Ellison and smiled, “I‘ve met her.
But she didn’t speak much, so I didn’t get to know her.”
mr. Ellison hesitated for a moment, but he also knew that Harvey was telling the truth.
Nicole was indeed rather distant in normal times, “Yes, although she may be indifferent, but once you get to know her, you‘ll find out that she‘s a very kind girl.” Of course, she was skilled in martial arts too.
mr. Ellison however did not know that Harvey had already witnessed Nicole‘s martial abilities, so he did not say the last part of the sentence.
“Seems like you have quite a good impression of her, grandpa.” Harvey was now even more curious about Nicole‘s relationship with his grandfather.
“Of course.
Let me warn you, you must get along with her.
Don‘t make enemies out of her because of Snow and Raine.”
“Grandpa...” Before he could ask anything, his grandpa already tossed a warning his way.
Could it be that Nicole was someone he could not afford to cross?
“Alright.
Let‘s not talk about that anymore, just remember what I‘ve said and get along with her, okay?” Seeing his grandpa‘s serious face, Harvey could only nod his head, “Okay.” Seeing that his grandson agreeing to that, Mr.
Ellison was very satisfied.
His tone then turned as he said to Harvey, “You‘ve been managing the operations department of the company quite well.
I‘m preparing to hand over the marketing department to you as well, so get ready.” Although he was only in his internship, Harvey had performed excellently, and it was time to let him handle more things.
Harvey raised his head up suddenly as he looked at his grandfather in some disbelief.
The marketing department was the heart of the Ellison Group.
Back then, no matter how obedient he was Mr.
Ellison had never agreed to that, but now that he only needed to agree to get along with Nicole and the old man was so pleased that he handed the entire department over to him?
A look of shock flashed past Harvey‘s eyes, but his expression remained calm as he smiled and said, “Don’t worry, grandpa, I will double the HQ‘s sales in the next half.”
Mr.
Ellison looked on as a smile appeared on his stern face.
“Grandpa believes in you.”
Harvey got out of the principal‘s office and the smile on his face faded away as a thought came to his mind.
To think that this Nicole was so capable that the usually keen–eyed Mr.
Ellison was so appreciative of her talents.
It seems like he needed to rethink his plans now.
As Harvey thought of that, he turned around and left.
During revision at night, Nicole twirled her pen around as she looked at the set of exercises given by Ms.
Emerson.
Chapter 103
The people around her snuck a glance at her from time to time, as if trying to discern something from her.
Bradley Robertson whispered, “Nicole, did you not give Harvey any face at all?”
Nicole did not even look up and said softly, “He asked me to apologize to Snow and Raine Riddle.
I did not agree to that.”
Bradley did not know such a thing happened, and suddenly realized it as he heard Nicole say that “I should’ve known that.
Nicole you are usually very reasonable, and you won’t push someone into a corner.
The problem is with Harvey Ellison!” Bradley did not even bother calling Harvey names anymore and referred him directly by his name.
This was something he had never done before.
Nicole raised her eyebrows and looked at him, only for her to see Bradley hissing in anger,” It’s obvious that Snow and Raine Riddle were looking for trouble with you.
For her to cause such a havoc with just a photo, and here I thought she was a gentle person.
It‘s all fake!” Looking at him trying to defend her, Nicole felt a whiff of warmth inside her.
“You’re not worried that I might‘ve actually bullied them?”
Hearing her question, Bradley looked at her as if she was a fool, “With your personality, you‘d act instead of talk.
Why would you bully two helpless girls?” Right, that sounded about right.
Nicole rubbed her nose.
She did not expect Bradley to know her that well.
Bradley felt that when Harvey stood up for Snow, the latter‘s image was completely ruined for him, and he could not help but to mumble, “Man, was I blind when I thought him the same as Lloyd Holder! Lloyd is both handsome and kind, Harvey is nowhere close!”
Lulu, sitting in front, heard their discussion and ignored the teacher who was still teaching as she turned around and said, “Bradley, you‘re a man and you like Lloyd?” Bradley‘s face flushed a little.
“A true handsome guy attracts both men and women! I admire Lloyd instead of straight up liking him, and you don‘t understand this? Seems like you don‘t like Lloyd as much as I do.”
Lulu gave him a disgusted look, “I‘ve liked Lloyd for six years now, ever since his debut.
You‘re no match for me!”
As both were rather excited, their voices were rather loud.
The teacher noticed their little exchange at that moment and snorted, “Lulu, Bradley, what are you two talking about? Want to share it with the class?”
Lulu spat her tongue out while Bradley quickly lowered his head.
The two of them did not notice that when Nicole heard what they said, her pen–twirling hand paused for a bit.
Lloyd Holder, who the two of them liked, was indeed the black horse in the entertainment industry of late.
He debuted at sixteen and was already a Golden Horse award recipient at eighteen with his movie “Breaking Blue”.
Now he was extremely popular, and had won countless of awards, be it domestically or internationally, a veritable superstar.
He made only be twenty-two years old, but everyone in the industry respects him.
It was not because of his acting and abilities, but also because of his character and EQ.
Everyone who came in touch with him were full of praise of Lloyd‘s charm, and many directors were effusive with praises after working with him, hoping that they would be able to work with him again.
He was a person with impeccable manners and decorum, and it was also because of that immaculateness that he had no gossip about him since his debut.
After enduring until class was over, Bradley packed up his bag and said, “Nicole, let‘s head out together? Lulu said she wanted to go out of school to get some exercise books and left first.”
Nicole nodded as she casually packed her stuff.
Suddenly, she heard a voice behind her.
“Nicole, I‘m sorry, I shouldn‘t have said what I had said to you that day.”
Chapter 104
Nicole turned around and noticed Jack Pearson was looking at her somewhat anxiously, with Gary Finley standing impassively behind the latter.
Gary had fixed Jack up properly today and ordered the latter to apologize to Nicole.
Jack was naturally reluctant, but he was worried that Nicole would straight up ignore him, so he quickly mouthed his apology while Nicole was packing up.
Although Gary looked impassive, his clenched fist betrayed the turmoil inside.
Looking at the girl’s glance, Gary would be lying if he said he was not nervous.
Nicole looked at the two, and her gaze finally fell on Jack‘s face as she let out a mischievous smile.
“No need for that.”
With those words said, she picked up her bag and left with Bradley Robertson.
Leaving Jack Pearson standing there scratching his head.
He dared not ask Gary directly, so he kicked Wayne in the shin and asked, “Say, did Nicole forgive me there or not?” Wayne was already slightly pissed when Jack called Nicole coldblooded earlier, and
immediately threw the latter a glare when he heard that, “Why are you asking me? Go ask Nicole!”
Gary too frowned.
He knew that Nicole would not forgive him so easily.
He picked up his books and said coldly, “Let‘s go.
We need to revise.” The Math Olympiad was close, and he must not lose.
He will tell Nicole his thoughts after clinching first place.
Just as he entertained the thought, his handphone suddenly vibrated.
Gary pulled out his phone and placed it by his hear.
When he heard what was spoken his expression changed a little.
“Alright, I‘ll be right there.”
Immediately after, he walked out of the classroom in big strides, leaving Jack and Wayne to look at each other.
Nicole and Bradley were walking leisurely towards the dorm and Bradley was talking about Lloyd nonstop while Nicole listened on, with nary any reactions on her face.
Bradley was so colorful it was clear that he really liked Lloyd Holder.
At this moment, a rather blurry silhouette appeared beneath the streetlamp, as if it was a person who was closely hugging the wall.
Nicole immediately noticed that and consciously led Bradley as they suddenly took a corner.
It was an open space, and seeing that he was without cover, the person gritted his teeth as he pretended to be unperturbed as he followed the two of them, acting like he was looking at the
scenery
A cold glint flashed past Nicole‘s face as she suddenly turned around and gave Bradley a shock “Nicole, the heck… Bloody hell!”
Nicole darted out like a thunderbolt and instantly disappeared before Bradley‘s eyes,
The person tailing them was clearly a professional.
He sensed something was not right the moment Nicole turned her head and immediately fled.
And it seemed like he was well versed with the layout of the Royal Creek Institute.
With a couple of turns he disappeared into the darkness.
Looking at the fork before her and thinking that the person disappeared after he turned into this corner, she felt a little irritable.
Failure was a rare thing for her, and she was too careless this time.
She never thought that someone would dare to tail her so brazenly inside the Royal Creek Institute.
As she thought of this, her expression turned a little glum.
As she turned around to retrace her path, she took out her phone and sent a message.
“Someone is tailing me.
You guys be careful.”
Bradley had not responded yet, so Nicole put away her phone and saw the former standing there looking at her in a stupor.
Even when he had seen Nicole strike more than one, he was still amazed every time he witnessed it.
He had never seen someone be so fast before!
Nicole walked over and patted him on the shoulder, “It‘s nothing, let‘s go.”
The road here was rather quiet, and aside from Bradley, no one else saw that happened.
He swallowed his saliva and then asked, “Nicole, who were you chasing after just now?”
Nicole shook her head.
“Nothing, it was my mistake.”
Bradley gave her a curious look, but seeing that she was not inclined to speak, he did not press the issue.
After sending Bradley to the dormitory entrance, Nicole turned around to leave.
Bradley was a little surprised as he asked, “Nicole, not going back to the dorm?”
She shook her head.
“I‘m going to the cafe.” Bradley suddenly realized that Nicole was probably worried about this safety and that was the reason why she escorted him back.
He could not help but to feel thankful for that.
For a girl to escort him back, it was just too embarrassing.
As the two parted, Nicole walked towards the school gate as she wondered who would be so bold as to make a move right inside Royal Creek Institute.
As she walked, she soon arrived at the cafe.
She was sure now that, the most dangerous place on Earth was also the safest.
If she comes here, Jared Johnston will have even less cause to suspect her.
However, she had not much time to think, she wanted to find a proper place to study and to help Austin and the others revise.
Since she would have to face a torrent of gossips in school, might as well come here instead.
She had not come for a few days now, and when she stepped in, she noticed the usual waiter was not here today.
But for some reason Jared Johnston was in the house.
Nicole’s expression darkened.
She had occasionally suspected, was Jared Johnston actually waiting for her here?
Otherwise, why would she keep running into him every time here?
At this moment, Jared was resting on a seat not too far away from the door.
The moment he saw her enter; his eyes lit up as he immediately waved at her.
For some reason, it felt like he had been waiting for her for a long while now.
Nicole pushed the door open and asked, “Why are you here again?” Her slightly revolted look and tone made Jared feel like he just had a bucket of iced water poured on him.
He had waited for her for so many days now, and she was revolted when she saw him?
Chapter 105
Suppressing the gloom in his chest, he smiled coldly.
“This is my establishment, of course I‘ll come when I‘m free.”
His eyes were already attractive to begin with, and with it slightly curving now, it looked even more so.
Nicole could not help but be dumbfounded as she looked at him.
But as she heard what he said, she frowned slightly.
“Why do I feel like a CEO like you have too much time in your hands?”
Jared looked at Nicole’s cold, glistening eyes, and did not say anything.
He had sent someone to follow her earlier and she very quickly noticed the person’s movements.
If he was a tad bit slower, he would have been caught by her.
Not only that, but Claus also said that Nicole‘s senses against being followed was very keen, and she was definitely not just any student.
Jared was very aware how skilled his men were, and to think that Claus almost fell victim to Nicole.
A meaning look appeared in his eyes as he looked at Nicole before him.
The more he got in touch with her, the more he found her interesting.
“Forget about that, order what you want.” Jared deftly placed the menu before her as a couple of stray hairs fell before his eyes, hiding the emotions in them.
Nicole did not hold back either.
“A cup of cappuccino, thank you.”
Jared looked into her eyes and could not help but chuckle.
Although she had drank many of his coffees, the one she liked seemed to only be cappuccino.
Jared immediately took the order, his poise elegant, and his every moment graceful.
It was a noble aura that was preternatural.
As Nicole looked at him, she felt that she was really blind.
‘Why did she get tangled up with this guy in the first place?‘
Letting out a sigh, she stopped bothering him as she walked towards her usual seat and pulled out her exercise books to work on them.
Jared knew that she did not like him approaching her so he could only look at her from a distance, with a tinge of discouragement in his heart.
She was the only woman who did not proactively approach him, but instead she was revolted at the idea of him approaching her.
At this moment, there was some commotion outside as a few students in the originally quiet cafe started whispering to one another.
“Isn‘t that Austin Woods? Why is he here?” “Seeing that Nicole is here too, I guess he‘s here for “tuition“!”
In an instant, many curious gazes came from across the cafe.
Nicole looked up slothfully and the few Royal Creek Institute students quickly shut up under her rather emotionless gaze.
They finally understood why so many were afraid of Nicole.
A glance alone was enough to make someone dare not take a breath.
If she was standing before them, they probably would have already turned around and flee
Nicole could not be bothered with what was in their mind.
At this moment, Austin had brought with him his group of buddies and the cafe was instantly overcrowded.
When he saw Nicole, Austin’s eyes lit up.
“Boss!”
Nicole gave him a glance.
“What‘s going on?” Why were there so many people here?
Austin knew what she wanted to ask and immediately said, “Boss, these bunch here wants to listen to your lecture, so they came here themselves!” Everyone looked at him as he blathered about, not daring to speak up.
They were clearly here because Austin wanted to make a grand scene for his boss, so that‘s why all of them had to come, and not a single one was exempted! They too had no idea if she was really going to teach them, going by Nicole‘s standards, would their total grades collectively fall by another twenty ranks?
Austin did not care.
He was at last place already anyway, so he might as well let Nicole do as she place, but the rest of them still had a standard to uphold! When Nicole looked at the reluctant faces of these people, she said softly, “Those who wants to say can stay, and I’ll help to the best of my ability.
Those who want to leave, can leave.” She did not have that much energy to help so many, and the only reason she decided to help Austin was she took pity on him.
When they heard Nicole say that a number who were originally reluctant to come turned their gaze to Austin.
He then looked at her and whispered, “Boss, do you really want to do this?”
Nicole nodded.
If the others did not want to believe her, then she had no need to do her best for them.
Seeing that she was serious, Austin raised his hand.
“Leave now if you want to leave! If you don’t want to listen to boss‘ lecture, then you lot don‘t have to be under me anymore!”
Austin thought that everyone would stay, but who knew, the moment he said that a commotion immediately erupted.
Many had long been dissatisfied that Austin being all out of sorts as the school bully just for Nicole, and now he even got stark raving mad that he wanted to get into the top twenty? Isn‘t that a straight up daydream? They had been busy studying for the past few days, and that had gravely violated the original
intention of them joining Austin‘s camp.
However, as Austin pressured them, they dare not verbalize their complains.
At this moment, Austin himself actually said that they could leave if they did not want to listen to him.
Many looked at one another and turned around to leave.
Bullshit.
They did not want a boss like Nicole who was a nobody.
Her grades were poor, so who wants to listen to her.
Austin too, was a fool, for him to really obey this woman.
The two of them can go crazy for all they care, and they want no part of it! In an instant, only five to six people who had been following Austin all these while remained from the originally massive group.
Austin did not expect those people who had been calling each other bros to be so callous about their friendship.
And to think that he had been helping them a lot, either matters big or small.
Yet when he really wanted to do something, these bunch repaid him in such a way.
Among those who left were buddies that Austin usually play ball with.
They gave Austin a wandering glance, and saw the latter‘s disbelieving look, his eyes full of vengefulness.
Auston had always been stepping on them all this while, how could they not be gleeful when they see him lose face like this?
A school bully that would call a girl “boss“? It was high time for a change now! As they thought of this, the few of them left gleefully, and did not forget to throw Austin a provocative middle finger while they were at
it.
Austin looked on, his chest heaving in anger.
He smashed his fist against the wall, and his eyes felt misty.
‘Austin Woods, how could you be so blind?!‘
