Ch. 1571..1575: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1571-1575

Chapter 1571

"Yeah, Daniel, don't worry about it anymore.Nicole can handle these sort of situations well enough,"

Gloria comforted him.

Daniel, who could not even muster a smile, looked toward the door, "It's just that, in the future, our relationship with them will be over."

Sean knew exactly what his father was concerned about.He stepped forward, and in a solemn tone of voice, he said, "It's okay.Since they've never cared about us anyway, from now onwards, there's no need for us to be associated with them."

Daniel looked at Sean and thought, 'My eldest son has always been calm and considerate of every situation.Perhaps what he said was right.Maybe I really have done nothing wrong"

"That's right.We don't need to take any orders from anyone anymore.We were wronged for the longest time ever."

Daniel's eyes became firm.

"In the future, I will not ever let my wife and children be looked down upon again."

‘If we had not defended ourselves the way we did, it would be a waste for all the effort Nicole has put in" he concluded.

"Yes, we must also protect our little sister from being picked on!" Sean said.

'For the sake of Nicole, our family has to support ourselves, and we won't let others push us around like that anymore!' At the corner of the stairs, Nicole was looking at her parents and brothers who had

made up their minds, the corner of her mouth lifting slightly.

‘It seems that I no longer need to worry about our family"

Nicole thought, relieved as she went straight back to her room to get some rest.

School was about to start, and so, she decided to relax for the next few days.

Nicole then gave Mrs.Wallace Sr.a call, telling her that she would not be back until school started before getting a good night's sleep...

Until she received news from Carl, she ought to enjoy this peaceful time...

In a blink of an eye, a week had passed.

Things were booming everywhere in the Riddle household, and that was because of Sean.

After noticing him, many company leaders had hoped to cooperate with the Riddle family, and even Steve's financial company had attracted a substantial amount of attention.

Sean had gotten so busy, that Mr.Riddle Sr.had to personally call Daniel to get him back to work at the office.

Initially, Daniel only had some shares in the company, and had never had any real power in the company.He occasionally went to the company headquarters to get his dividends and attend shareholders’ meetings.He did not have any substantive businesses or projects that he had to handle before.

But now that Sean was swarmed with work, Mr.Riddle Sr.offered him a position similar to Dillon's as the vice president.

Though he held the position of a vice president, he would discuss business with Sean every other day, and was content to be one of the top leaders of the company.

"You must know that Dad and Sean are the busiest people at the company right now.Nobody goes to Dillon's office anymore!"

Steve gossiped to his brothers and Nicole before their meal.

Then, Spencer and Samuel looked at each other and smiled, "I really wish to see the looks on our uncle's faces! I bet they're all green with envy."

"Maybe they've turned purple,"

Samuel sneered mercilessly.

At this moment, Daniel and Sean came downstairs to see the two brothers laughing while Stanley was eating and reading at the same time, but not before they caught each other's eyes.

"Stanley," Daniel said after he had sat down.

Stanley placed his book down and glanced at Daniel, "What's up, Dad?"

Daniel looked at Sean before saying, "Our company is overly packed right now and you're in your second semester of junior year.You'll begin your internship during your senior year, so I would like to ask you if you'd like to start your internship this semester."

"Me? Intern? But where?"

Stanley was stunned.

Chapter 1572

Nicole watched as the usually calm and composed Stanley became confused.

"Of course you can.You can do it in our family's company.Stanley, you're the president of the student council.Has your brain gone haywire after the break?"

Stanley's eyes widened immediately, "You're allowing to be an intern at the company?"

Before this, only Sean was allowed to be an intern at the company by Mr.Riddle Sr.

Even Daniel was an insignificant shareholder, and thus, Stanley had never imagined that he would be able to work at the Riddle family's company.

‘Grandpa hand-picked me to join him at the company?' Stanley was a little surprised, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Stanley! What are you standing there for? Hurry up and agree to it!"

Samuel pushed him.

It was only then Stanley came back to his senses, "Can I really work at the company?"

Daniel smiled.

Sean is busy with a number of things.

After talking to your grandpa, he has promised to let you join the company."

Gloria was overjoyed when she heard that Stanley was also allowed to join the company, "Really? That's really great! You have my full support!"

With the support of his mother, Stanley nodded, "I will go.As long as Sean needs me, I'll go."

Sean smiled.

"Grandpa didn't ask you to help me out.Instead, he has asked you to be in charge of several projects, as project Manager."

"You get to be the manager as soon as you join the company?" Spencer and Samuel asked, becoming envious right away.

‘‘This is not a job for an intern, it looks no different than a formal job at my family's company" Stanley thought.

Stanley, who has always been calm, was filled with surprise, "Really?"

Unable to help himself, Steve patted Stanley on the shoulder

"Of course.As of now the family is responsible for taking on important projects, and they've hand-picked Sean and Daniel to be in charge of it.They're too busy and said that they'll leave it to their sons.If we don't allow you to go, who else will be willing to take your place?"

Damien and Dillon had long been excluded from participating in anything, barring the few projects they had originally secured.

Aside from that, no one cared about what went on with them.

Both Damien and Dillon watched as these profitable projects fell into the hands of Daniel and his two sons, Sean, and Stanley.

Other than staring angrily at the latter every now and again, they could not do anything about it, as their business partners had discovered that Nicole was Daniel's biological daughter.

"I know, I'll definitely not let you down!"

Stanley placed his book down with an unwavering expression on his face.

Sean smiled, "Don't sweat it.Our partners have a pretty good view of us, so the only thing you really need to pay attention at is to safeguard our efforts from certain people..."

Although Sean did not mention who these people were, the entire family instantly knew who he was mentioning.

Daniel, who would not allow Sean to explain thoroughly then turned to look at Nicole.

‘‘Although I feel that it's still quite early, but.."

Daniel interrupted his thoughts and said, "Nicole, the annual meeting of the company and our partners will be held next week.Your grandpa has hosted it for many years, and this time, he hopes that you will be able to attend it and host it alongside him."

Nicole paused while eating breakfast, for she did not expect that it would come so soon.

‘Many people have flocked over to do business with us, and it was more or less due to me being the bearer of the Fire Crest.Grandpa knows well enough that I am still a high school student who just became of age.So, even if he urges me to keep me from showing up, there will always be times when my attendance is needed to support the event" she surmised.

"Alright, but school starts next Monday.I don't know what the school has planned yet," Nicole replied.

Though studying was not a challenge for Nicole, there should be many things to be busy with at the beginning of the school year as soon as it started.

"I'm the president of the student council, and I will explain the situation to Mr.Ellison That way, you'll be able to come to the event without any worries," Stanley said.

"Oh..."

Nicole uttered, noticing that all of her brothers were fully supportive of her.

"Well then, how could I not go?' Spencer and Samuel both looked on in envy.Among all of the siblings, they were the only ones who had zero involvement in the company...

Chapter 1573

‘‘I really wish that I could enter junior and senior year as soon as possible so that I'll be able to intern at the company"

Samuel and Spencer looked on with envy written all over their faces.

Sean coughed lightly.

"It's not just Nicole.The two of you should also prepare yourselves.You're attending the annual meeting together with her too."

"Huh?"

Samuel pointed to himself in surprise.

"I'm also included?"

Spencer was overjoyed, "Thank you Sean!"

"You should thank you Nicole," Steve chuckled.

"If it was not for Nicole, our uncles would still be in the limelight, and our family wouldn't be able to participate."

Steve's sentence made everyone emotional as it was true that their family had been invisible to Mr.Riddle Sr.throughout the years, during which they would always be forgotten and excluded from the annual meetings.

Daniel would sometimes hear the news and bring Gloria with him to participate and even then, they were not allowed to use their identity as the Riddles.

However, this time around, all of the staff members were permitted to take part in it, which was an honorable thing to do.

"This year's annual meeting will definitely be attracting a lot of attention," Spencer smiled gleefully.

Samuel slyly joined in, "And a few people are probably going to be very angry."

"Hurry up and eat."

Gloria looked at her sons, not want them to gloat too much.

The family continued eating in silence, with the meal being so scrumptious that it left everyone in a good mood.

They were almost done with breakfast, until their house butler walked in.

"Sir, Madam..."

Alfred glanced at Nicole, seemingly hesitant to speak.

Daniel and Gloria then looked at each other and asked, "What's wrong Alfred?"

The house butler was still feeling a little too embarrassed to speak up.

However he took a deep breath and told them the truth nonetheless.

"Sir, Madam...Norah is here."

"Norah?"

Steve murmured, suspicious of her.

In truth, there had been no news pertaining to Norah as of recent, and the entire Riddle family had forgotten about her existence entirely.

Steve subconsciously glanced at Nicole, surprised to see that she was not reacting at all.

Instead, she continued to drink her milk gracefully.

Noticing that Nicole was not bothered by it either, Daniel proceeded to ask their house butler, "Did she say anything?"

Gloria felt hesitant to ask Norah to come in after seeing Daniel's reaction.

After all, the last time Norah was at the Riddle residence, her parents were hospitalized.Her presence here had caused much friction in their relationship.

Ever since then, Nicole had felt that she should keep a distance from her parents so that they could live in peace.

Their house butler sighed and said, "Miss Norah had brought her luggage with her.She said that her parents had drowned while they were abroad, and that now, she'll be homeless..."

"What?' Gloria's heart sank upon hearing that Norah's parents had suddenly passed away.

"How did this happen?"

Norah was raised by Gloria and Daniel for so many years.

Anyone who heard the news would feel sorry that she had to go through such misfortune, especially if the person in question was one they had deeply cherished.

Nicole's face became sullen.

‘'A while ago, I heard that Norah had traveled abroad with her classmates, but I didn't hear anything about her bringing her parents with her.Why would she suddenly come back here and say that her parents had passed away?’'

"Daniel...it's Norah...we can't just turn a blind eye to this sort of situation..."

Chapter 1574

Gloria's compassionate nature prompted her to be concerned about the situation, but she still asked for Daniel's opinion nonetheless.

However, it was then that Daniel glanced at Nicole's direction, almost as though he wanted to know what she wanted to do.

Nicole returned her father's glance, and with a cool smile, she said, "We've got a guest.We can't let them stand outside for too long, especially if they're homeless.If we keep them out with our front door, people might think that the Riddle family are a bunch of cold -blooded and ruthless people."

Norah had chosen the perfect time to visit the Riddle's residence.

Obviously, she had gotten wind of how influential they were now and would temporarily take her in as one of their own for the sake of their reputation.

Though Daniel knew that even if this was the case, he would not want Gloria to pay too much attention to Norah.

"Okay.Alfred, let Norah come in."

‘‘This brat Norah has been gone for so long, and yet, she still finds a way to come back.It seers to me that it's impossible to stop her this time" he thought.

Sean looked at Nicole remorsefully, knowing that due to their family's situation, they should not allow any bad rumors to spread.

All they could do now was throw Nicole under the bus for the time being and think about how to deal with Norah later.

Soon, the house butler brought Norah in.

"Godmother..."

As soon as Norah walked in, her eyes were bloodshot.

"Norah..."

Though Gloria was not close with Norah, seeing her distraught and in such a mess was enough to prompt the old lady to approach her.

"Norah, what happened? How did your parents..."

The instant Gloria mentioned her parents, Norah's face immediately turned pale, after which she became dizzy and fainted in Gloria's arms.

"Norah!" Gloria exclaimed Seeing this, Spencer quickly helped Gloria as they hoisted Norah up.

"What's wrong, Norah?"

Samuel looked at Norah in surprise.

Spencer sighed and thought, ‘’Because she is no longer a part of this family, she has no right to come back here.Then again, we ought to have some compassion as she used to be a part of the family"

"Perhaps she's too heartbroken...," Spencer said in a low voice.

At that moment, Nicole secretly smiled and feigned surprise.

"I see that she isn't looking too well.I think it's because she has been too stricken by grief recently and became dizzy just moments ago."

Norah did not expect Nicole to assist her in her act, so she nodded vigorously.

"Maybe I just haven't been eating and resting right...which is why I'm feeling a little weak..."

However, before Norah could finish her sentence, Nicole deliberately said, "It's okay, I'll make you feel a little better with my needle techniques.Otherwise, you'll faint again, and we'll have to send you to the hospital."

After she had spoken, Nicole got up and took her set of needles from the small bag on the side of her thigh.

Then, Samuel chimed in, "Yeah, Nicole is an expert when it comes to her needle techniques.Come now, Norah.Take a seat and let Nicole show you."

"Nee- Needle technique?"

Norah's face blanched at once.

"How long has it been since I left the Riddle's, and when did she even learn these needle techniques?!' she panicked.

Norah watched as Nicole inched closer, her face pale as sheet.

''No, I'm afraid of needles..."

‘‘If I let her prick me with those needs, I might really need to go to the hospital!’' she thought.

"Don't worry, Norah.Nicole really knows her needle technique well.Mr.Riddle Sr.was in a coma before and it was Nicole who woke him up," Gloria said, aggravating Norah even more.

‘‘Does she really know how to do it? Can I still get away?"

It was at that moment that she regretted pretending to be in the state she was in.

Indeed she had underestimated Nicole, who she did not know would have such a trick up her sleeve.

Norah cursed Nicole in her heart, as she forced herself to say, "Really? Thank you then..."

Nicole mentally sneered, though the expression on her face displayed nothing but kindness.

"You're welcome."

Then, without such much as a warning, she jabbed a needle into Norah's hand.

Chapter 1575

Feeling a stabbing, searing pain in her hand, Norah let out a scream at once.

‘'Goodness this hurts like hell!'

"Don't be so nervous.The tenser you are, the more it hurts.You'll feel better if you relax a little."

Nicole raised her eyebrows, pretending to be calm.

Only Nicole knew where the most painful points were, and she pierced them well enough to make Norah's hand numb.

‘'Don't blame me for being cruel, since you have the guts to come back and disrupt our family's harmony by acting all pitiful!’

"Another needle should do the trick just fine."

Nicole continued to smile gently, seemingly harmless to everyone and everything but to Norah, who was in so much pain that she struggled to even breathe.

"No, no there's no need to! One is enough!"

Norah pleaded.

‘One more needle, and she definitely will pass out for sure!' Nicole thought.

"Norah, please.Be a good girl."

Gloria frowned and looked at Norah, he genuinely concerned about her.She then took Norah's hand and gave it to Nicole.

"Here you go, Nicole."

"Okay."

Nicole smiled but it was then that Norah saw right through her smile and noticed the bone-chilling coldness.

‘With this needle, I might kill her" Nicole thought.

Norah watched as Nicole raised the flashing cold needle glistening under the sun rays of the sun and decided that she could not take it anymore.

She was so frightened to the point that she shoved Gloria away.

"I don't want to be pricked anymore!"

Gloria staggered after she was pushed by Norah, and though Samuel was stunned, he was fortunately able to keep his mother supported just in time.

"Mom? Are you okay?"

Samuel frowned and glared at Norah.

‘'What is she doing? Nicole is kind enough to help her feel better.She doesn't know how to be grateful and she even pushed mom, who cares about her the most right now!”

Then, the atmosphere in the room changed.

Everyone in the family looked at Norah, feeling that she was going too far.

Nicole's face turned frosty, as she stepped forward to keep Gloria supported.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Gloria has a soft nature and a very delicate body.

Such a push must have startled her.

And surely enough, Gloria's complexion turned pale.She held onto Nicole and said, "I'm fine...just a little shocked."

Instinctively, Nicole felt for Gloria's pulse, after which she gave her mother a prick with the needle.

"It's okay mom.You were startled, and your heart is racing, so I gave you a needle.You'll be fine soon."

"Okay, okay..."

Gloria stroked her chest and sat down again.

Soon after, she began to feel much better.

For a moment, everyone stared at Norah with hatred in their eyes.

"Norah, our mom cares so much about you.How could you push her like that?"

Stanley lost his temper.It was only then that Norah realized her actions had caused a domino effect, which had caused an outrage within the family.

Her heart wrenched in pain.

‘'Before this, I was the princess of this family.No matter what I did, my brothers would always forgive me.But now? I accidentally pushed her and everyone is glaring at me with such hatred"

Seeing this, Norah could not help but to shoot Nicole a glare.

‘It was her who had taken all my brother's love for me.She is the reason as to why they have started to treat me like this!'’ However, knowing that she no longer had the right to burst out in anger, she could only whimper and force a tear out from her eyes.

"I'm sorry...I'm really fine now.I got too nervous a moment ago, godmother.I'm truly sorry..."
