Ch. 1531..1535: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1531-1535

Chapter 1531

"Serve you right." Ellar poked his tongue out at her. Serve her right for trying to mock Nicole.’

Emery pulled him aside, signaling Ellar to not be so brazen in his act, but the latter ignored him anyway.

At that moment, Snow heard everything and was left feeling extremely shocked.

Such was why Nicole was being given the attention she had been receiving, and that was also why Uncle Daniel and his family would witness a meteoric rise in their fortune. With that said, there was no longer a place left for Uncle Damien or her parents in their ranks.

She balled her hands into a fist. Even if Nicole had helped her out by retrieving her pink diamond, Snow was still extremely jealous, as the former had stolen her thunder, taking all of the attention away from her within the Riddle family. Yet, as far as she was concerned, she could watch as Nicole stood in the limelight.

When she saw Harvey and Mr. Ellison handing their precious gifts to Nicole, as the former sported a cheeky look on his face, she had little choice but to believe the rumors with a heavy heart that felt as though it was being crushed with a boulder.

Nicole had been standing there, receiving gifts for close to half an hour now. Her legs were feeling numb, and so was her jaw, which was still locked in a smile. Yet, Mr. Riddle Sr. continued to hold onto her tightly, not allowing her to leave.

Mr. Riddle Sr. and her parents on the other hand, were getting into the groove, and their smiles were growing brighter and brighter with each passing second.

Witnessing this, Nicole could not help but flash them a smile out of joy. ‘Regardless of what, the Riddle family has been restored to its former glory. Well, as long as grandpa, mom and dad are happy, I guess.’

Just as she was thinking about that, a familiar voice suddenly blared out.

"Congratulations, Nicole.” Fiorella walked over as she mouthed her platitudes, though she was very jealous deep down.

Every single person who was lining up to give Nicole gifts was among the creme de la creme of the elites in the country.

Although the Fisher family was a distinguished family in San Joto, their status did them little favors. Even in the gift giving session alone, they were one of the last in the list. It took a fair while before it was their turn, and Fiorella, who was already nursing a grudge beforehand, could not help but to use a peculiar tone of voice when speaking to Nicole.

Colton immediately pulled his daughter aside and said to Nicole, "Forgive my daughter's impudence, Miss Riddle.Here is my gift for you. I hope you'll like it."

Colton had always had a regal air about him at the office and would stand tall whenever he conversed, even within the elite circles in San Joto. Yet, it was a humiliating sight for him to be so self-effacing to Nicole today.

"Dad! What are you doing!?" Fiorella yelled, her expression changing as she felt that she had been embarrassed.

Colton was deep in regret. He had been too busy lining up to give Nicole her gift moments ago that he had not given Fiorella a clear explanation as to what Nicole's current position was. He was really furious upon seeing how rude Fiorella was to Nicole.

Unable to hold back anymore, Colton yelled, "Silence!"

He then grabbed Fiorella and pulled her aside, with Mrs. Fisher hurrying forward to put herself between Fiorella and Nicole, motioning to her daughter to stop talking.

Nicole looked at Colton, and then at the incensed Fiorella, whereupon she subconsciously glanced at Jared.

Jared noted the hint she was giving and his expression changed to one indicating indulgence.

The meaning of his gesture was clear. 'Do as you please.’

Seeing that, Nicole turned back to Colton, and with her eyes beaming, she asked. "Thank you, but have we been acquainted before?"

Colton Fisher was the head of the Fisher family, the president of the Fisher Group, and he was considered one of the most famous figures in San Joto. It would have been fine if Nicole did not know him. After all, she had probably never met anyone who was present at the dinner event before. Yet, she was obviously trying to put him in the spot by querying him in front of everyone.

However, it was his own daughter who had gone out of her way to irritate Nicole first, and with so many distinguished families present at the scene, Colton stifled his anger, not allowing his temper to flare up even if he wanted do.

With this in mind, he responded with a smile. "Indeed, we've not met before, but I do know Mr. Riddle Sr. I'm the current chairman of the Fisher Group. If you have anything that you require, please feel free to contact me.”

Although Colton was introducing himself in a very humble manner, he was also attempting to regain some of his dignity through his act.

Nicole flashed him a wry smile. "Ah, you're Miss Fiorella’s father. I may not be familiar with you, but I'm very familiar with Miss Fiorella, am I not?"

Nicole's eyes ranged over Mrs. Fisher and stopped at Fiorella, leaving both Colton and his wife stunned as they turned to their daughter. "You know Miss Riddle?"

Chapter 1532

Based on Mrs. Fisher's knowledge, her daughter had known of Nicole's name because of Nicole's engagement to Jared, not because of some bad blood. ‘Since when the both of them acquainted with one another?’

Fiorella's expression soured by a little. As Nicole had humiliated her father before everyone, and she would now even the score.

"Somewhat, I guess. While Miss Riddle was abroad, I was the one taking care of Jared when he was hospitalized," Fiorella blurted to everyone, wanting to take charge and control the narrative.

Jared's expression changed at once. ‘Fiorella, you sure have no situational awareness. I can't believe she actually revealed this to the public.’

By now, everyone could tell there was a storm brewing.’ Were these two love rivals?’

But... is Fiorella Fisher an idiot?’ Look who Nicole is now, and she still dares to grind her ax with the latter right in front of everyone here?’

Colton was terrified as his face blanched. "Fiorella... when did this happen? Why didn't you tell me about this?"

If he had known that his daughter was after Nicole's man, he would never have brought her here today.

Fiorella looked at her father's face and while she felt that something was not right, she was far too aggrieved to bother with that, so she smiled and said, "It's something between two adults fully capable of consent, so what is there to tell you?"

The moment Colton heard her wording her response in such a vague and shameless manner, he became so furious that he was on the verge of passing out due to how livid he was." You... shut your mouth, right this instant!"

And just when everyone thought that Nicole would fly off the handle at being mocked like this, she looked at Fiorella quietly. "I'm quite ‘familiar’ with Miss Fiorella. She has even given me quite the gift this morning, hasn't she?”

Nicole's gaze instantly became piercing. It was also so frosty that it was terrifying to look at.

Fiorella's heart sank for a moment as she thought of the man she had hired. ‘He has not replied to me yet, and his phone has been turned off...’

She had thought that the man had just fled with the money, but she totally had not expected Nicole to know about this.’ That means the guy must've struck but...he failed!

As she thought about it, Fiorella's expression became grim.’ That useless piece of sh*t! He couldn't even take a woman out?’

Fiorella's eyes narrowed as she bitterly replied, “Indeed, I’ve sent you a great gift, Miss Riddle. You're welcome."

There was nothing for her to hide. If she was unhappy, she would show everyone that she was indeed unhappy.

Nicole was impressed by this trait of Fiorella's; she had the temerity to act on her words and bear the consequences of her actions.

Looking at her, Nicole's smiled grew even wider. "It'll be rude to only be receiving gifts. Since you've given me a big one, let me return the favor."

After that, Nicole whispered a few words in Alfred's ears, after which the latter left.

Fiorella was perplexed. "What are you trying to do?"

Everyone turned over, wanting to know what sort of gift Nicole would give to her in return. Yet, no one expected that the massive screen at the center of the Riddle residence hall would suddenly light up.

Immediately after that, a video recording of a person being held down by the police began to play.

"Spare me, please... I really didn't do anything to that woman! I told you everything already! It's that Flynn Monroe guy from Fisher Group who had hired me to do this!"

Chapter 1533

But just as he was saying that, the police shoved him into their car and took him away.

Nicole looked at the screen and darted Jared a glance. He would never allow someone who had dared to harm his fiancee get away with it that easily. Although she had freed the man, he had still called the cops on him. On top of that, Claus had obtained the recording, and so, Nicole used it to her advantage.

The instant everyone had seen that which had happened on screen, all of them cast their grim gazes at Fiorella.

‘So, the gift that this woman was musing about...was hiring someone to kill Nicole?’ ‘And she dared to admit it so boldly? Is this woman out of her mind?’ one of the folks in the crowd thought.

Fiorella had failed to anticipate that the man had not only failed in his assault, but had also been caught in the process. The cherry on top of it all was, he had even sold her out.

‘Hiring someone to harm another person is a crime that carries prison time!’

In spite of it all, Fiorella did not back down. "So that was why the person I've sent d id not reply to me. Turns out that you're already waiting for me here. Miss Riddle. What a schemer.”

Indeed, she actually had the nerve to bark back with a snide remark.

At this moment, Colton, who had already had enough of his daughter's antics, raised his hand and slapped her. "Shut up!"

Fiorella, who had never been beaten by her father before, suddenly took a slap to the face and was sent tumbling onto the floor.

The impact of her father's slap was so strong that her ears were left ringing as blood seeped out of the corner of her lips.

‘I was speaking up for Dad! I was standing up to her for the honor of the Fishers. Why the hell did Dad hit me?! she seethed.

"You... hit me, Dad?" Fiorella looked at Colton in shock.

She had never seen her father with such a menacing look on his face.

"The person I'm hitting is a foolish, pigheaded daughter! You dare to attack Miss Nicole, have you grown tired of living?!" he bellowed.

Fiorella’s actions might very well have made the Fisher family enemies of the Riddle family along with all of the other great families present. Indeed, she was extremely, extremely foolish, to have done what she did.

"Why... why can't I screw with her? She's just the daughter of a third-rate family who picked her up from the streets! How is she comparable to me?! Fiorella argued.

Jared being not attracted to her notwithstanding, she could not understand why her own father too, was defending Nicole before everyone else.

‘What sort of charm has this vixen cast on everyone here?!’ she thought.

"Miss Fisher, I think you got it backward. How are you comparable to Nicole?"

At that moment, Preston stepped forward to defend Nicole's honor, no longer willing to see her being picked on.

He did not know back then, but now that Nicole was the bearer of the Fire Crest, he too would get to bask in its glory. Therefore, there was no way he would allow anyone to screw with his cousin sister.

"That's right! Who do you think you are? Comparing yourself to Nicole?" Ellar said, stepping forward to defend Nicole too.

The rest of Nicole's brothers and cousins then stepped forth to defend her too.

Sean looked down at Fiorella from up high, and said, "It matters not whether you are the daughter of the Fisher family, or the vice president of the Fisher Group. If you dare harm my sister, the Riddle family will not just roll over and take it lying down!"

"You sure don't know your place. You're just a Fisher and you think the Riddles are people you can simply trifle with?” Steve glared at Colton.

Fiorella sat on the ground, looking a little confused. Are the Riddle brothers out of their minds or what?’ They are willing to antagonize the Fisher family just to defend Nicole?’

What was even stranger was that Colton was apologizing to Sean and Steve.

"Miss Nicole, Mister Sean and Mister Steve, please stay calm. My daughter only did what she did out of impulse!

Since Miss Nicole is unharmed, please let my daughter go!" he pleaded.

Even though Mrs. Fisher had no idea as to what was going on, she immediately apologized to him after her husband.” Yes! It's my daughter's naivety and ignorance that led her to assault Miss Nicole. It is my failure as a mother that I didn't raise her right. I apologize on her behalf!"

"Dad! Mom! Are you guys insane?” Fiorella yelled. ‘Nicole is just a daughter of the Riddle family. Why must my parents lick her boots? Why would they forsake the honor of the Fisher family?’

"Shut up!” Colton glared at her. "If you dare utter another word, I'll see to it that I no longer have a daughter by the name of Fiorella Fisher!"

He was done holding back against that imbecile of a daughter of his running her mouth. If the old man back was to find out what she had done back home, she would be expelled from the family.

Chapter 1534

Fiorella had not expected that her father would sever his relationship with her just because of Nicole. The hatred in her heart reached its boiling point as she screamed and got up.

"You dare to humiliate me and my family! Die!"

As she yelled, she grabbed one of the steak knives on the table and charged at Nicole.

"No!" Colton and Mrs. Fisher screamed, but it was already too late.

Nicole's eyes became frosty. ‘She really does not know her limits. Hell, she's even charging at me!’

However, before Fiorella could even get close to her, Samuel tackled the former and tossed her onto the ground before folding her arms behind her back. "Think you can hurt my little sister?! Over my dead body!"

Spencer then stepped forward to hold her down.

Nicole could not help the warm feeling within as she saw her brothers stepping up for her. Both Samuel and Spencer had never learned any martial arts and yet, neither of them hesitated to protect her.

‘Oh, these stooges...’ she thought as a surge of warmth radiated in her heart.

Being cared for by her elder brothers like this sure felt nice.

Meanwhile, Jared was already feeling extremely sullen as he looked at Colton. "Mr. Fisher, do you still think that your daughter is acting out of impulse?"

At this point, it was utter madness for an adult to strike at a high schooler right in front of everyone. Madness! It seemed that Fiorella’s parents had indulged her far too much to the point of incorrigibility.

‘Mr. Johnston...I..." Colton's face became pale as sheet, fearful and at a loss on what to do.

“Let me go!" Fiorella was still screaming.

Jared looked at her imposingly. "Miss Fisher, I could turn a blind eye to how persistent you were at bothering me, but now that you've hired someone harm a person I care about, I will not be blamed for being tough on you."

After he had said that, Max walked in with a few police officers who were already standing by.

“Take her to the station," Jared ordered.

"Got it!" Max nodded and said to the police, "Officers, if you will.”

Several police officers immediately stepped forward to arrest her.

Seeing that her daughter was about to be taken away, Mrs. Fisher held onto Fiorella as she looked at Colton. “Dear! Save our daughter!"

Colton too was looking at Fiorella, seemingly at a loss, with no one knowing what he was thinking.

Jared simply let out a sneer. "Mr. Fisher, I implore you to think about the consequences. Will you be able to survive if you make an enemy out of the Johnston Group?”

That sentence sent a chill down Colton's spine.

‘If lam to defend Fiorella now, I won't just be crossing the Johnston family. I'll also be crossing all of the families that are bound by oath to the Riddles!" he thought.

Gritting his teeth, he had to arrive at a final decision for the well-being of his family. “It is her own obstinacy, and it has nothing to do with me! From today onwards, she is no longer my daughter, and

she is no longer a daughter of the Fisher family, nor is she the vice president of Fisher Group!"

His voice thundered across the room.

Fiorella only felt her mind blank. ‘What does that mean? Is Dad really going to sever our father- daughter relationship? And is he also kicking me out of the house... and stripping me of the position of vice president?’

 

Chapter 1535

‘How can that be...?’ "Dad! Why would you do this to me! I'm just protecting our family’s honor! Why must you do this to me!?”

she cried.

Not only did he not protect her, he even disowned her and evicted her from her home.

‘What happened to the father who had always loved me? Why is the entire world protecting Nicole?’ Fiorella thought, feeling that she was about to lose her mind.

Mrs. Fisher too was taken aback at this moment as she did not expect her husband to be so merciless toward his own daughter. But before she could even react, the police had already cuffed Fiorella and were taking her away.

“Let me go! Let me go! Do you know who I am?!”

Having her pride ripped to shreds before everyone here, Fiorella was almost about to lose her sanity. She had never thought that such a thing would happen to her!

"Fiorella... Fiorella..." Seeing her daughter in the state she was in, Mrs. Fisher could not help but burst into tears.

Of the three members of the Fishers, only Colton was left at this moment. His face was pale as sheet with cold sweat beading his forehead, looking as though he no longer knew what to do

Seeing this, Nicole said to Colton, "Thank you for your thoughtful gift, Mr. Fisher. Don't worry, I'm not that sort of person. I won't purposefully put a target on the Fisher Group just because of Fiorella.”

As Colton had finally found amnesty, he quickly wiped the sweat off his head away and said, "Thank you, Miss Riddle.”

However, even then, everyone was still giving the Fishers hostile looks.

Sensing that he could not stay here any longer, he said," Miss Riddle, I've delivered my gift but I'm quite exhausted now. So I'll take my leave first and pay you another visit next time.”

"You're welcome.” Nicole nodded, not wanting to keep him around any longer.

Upon hearing that, Colton hurriedly left.

And following his exit, the entire fiasco ended.

Then, Mr. Riddle Sr. stood up and said. "Let's put that unsightly scene behind us. Today, the Riddle family have prepared a feast for everyone. Please enjoy!”

Everyone looked away as soon as they heard that and began to have their desserts.

Mr. Riddle Sr. then hurriedly said to Daniel, Sean, and the rest, "Go tend to our guests. Grab any opportunity that can be of use to us."

Now that he could use Nicole's prestige, and with the fact that he could now cooperate with these great families, Mr. Riddle Sr. naturally did not want to pass on the opportunity.

“Alright.” Daniel, Sean and Steve immediately left.

Damien, standing by the side, was extremely envious. “Dad, I'll go help out as well.”

Noticing how enthusiastic Damien was, Mr. Riddle Sr. knew that everyone present only wished to talk to Nicole's parents and siblings, but he nodded nonetheless. "Remember to introduce yourself as Nicole's uncle when you head over there.”

Damien was taken aback and could not suppress the curiosity within him as he whispered, “Dad, what's going on? Why do I even have to mention Nicole?"

He was next in line for the position of the patriarch of the family, and he was also the heir to the company for the longest time, so it made little sense to him as to why he too had to use his niece’s name to get ahead with the guests.

Realizing that Damien, Dillon and their wives were staring at him, Mr. Riddle Sr. could not help but to say, "Nicole, is now the heritor of the Fire Crest.”

"The Fire Crest?"

The four of them were stunned. Karen and Miley had no idea about this, but the Rogers family too, was an ancient family, so she had an inkling as to what it was but she could not put a finger on where she had seen the name, Fire Crest.

In the end, it was Damien who was the first to recall it." Dad... you mean the Fire Crest of the five crests of the Reby family in the preface of our family's genealogy?"

The moment Damien had stated it, Dillon too began to remember. "The Reby Family Crest?"

‘It can't be right? That thing actually exist in this world?’

‘And Nicole got her hands on it?’
