Ch. 1576..1580: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1576-1580

Chapter 1576

Pathetically, Norah knelt in front of Gloria, and in a low voice, she said, "It's my fault.I know that I am no longer a part of the Riddle family, but I really have nowhere else to go, no home to return to.I know that in this world, there's only one person who still cares for me.And it's you, my godmother..."

If these words were uttered long ago, Gloria would have given in to Norah easily.

However, that shove had made her come back to her senses, and while she said that she was not feeling well, her strength did not seem to have waned.

Before this, she had always taken their relationship into consideration and had taken care of Norah.

Gloria even agreed to let Norah stay at her place the last time the latter asked.

Later, however, Daniel and Nicole had told Gloria that Norah's parents had already been discharged a long time ago.

It was at that moment that the old lady realized that the current Norah was not the same person as before.

Gloria knew that she had made the wrong choice the last time.

And now, she could not sideline Nicole for Norah anymore.

With that in mind, Gloria bit her lips and tried her best to remain rational.

"Norah, I really do pity you and your parent's situation.How about you take a rest for a while as I speak to your dad on what we can do to help you?"

Hearing that, Norah was stunned.

It had taken her so much to get rid of those two leeches and return to Gloria's side and Norah had expected Gloria to back her up like she had done before.

Unexpectedly, however, Gloria's attitude had already turned cold in just a short span of time.

‘What a mean witch Nicole is! What power does she possess that has made these people who had been living with me over the past decade side with her?" she fumed.

"Are you not worried about me anymore, Godmom?"

Norah pinched her thigh, and tears began to flow from her bloodshot eyes.

"I really have nowhere to go now.My parents' bodies are still nowhere to be found.I don't even know where else I could go now... Seeing that Norah was still putting on a show, Nicole snorted coldly in her heart.

As it stood, everyone in the family already knew that Norah was acting.

They could not help but wonder if she really thought that her acting skills were still good.

However, Gloria was able to remain calm and logical, and that was what Norah had never expected.

Seeing that Gloria was not willing to take her in, Nicole deliberately said in a questioning tone, "Your parents' bodies are nowhere to be found.In that case, why did you rush here? Those who don't know might think that you're dying to return to the Riddle family."

That sentence caused everyone present to feel the chillness in Nicole's words as they turned their gaze at her.

Sean and Steve were the first few who had made that observation with a degree of suspicion.

They looked at her as their eyes became frosty as well.

Meanwhile, Stanley was the one who believed Nicole, as her analysis was quite logical.

At that moment, even Samuel and Spencer fell silent.

Norah never thought that Nicole would be this mean to her and expose her in front of everyone.

Unfortunately, there truly was no way out for her.

‘'l finally escaped from those two by risking my life and becoming a murderer.No matter what happens, I must stay here at the Riddle family manor!' Norah fumed.

With that thought in mind, Norah immediately cried.

"I did not! Nicole, how could you slander me like that? You are the precious daughter of the Riddle family.Everyone knows about this.No one cares about me.Even brother, mom, and Dad cares a great deal about you.All I want is just a temporary place to stay in.Can't you be a little more merciful?"

Although it seemed that Norah was crying her heart out, she had actually placed the blame on Nicole with just a few words, framing the entire situation as if Nicole was nursing a deep hatred for her.

If this had happened long ago, Norah knew that the family would be guilt-stricken by those words.

Even Samuel would stand up for her.

But at that moment, Samuel stood in front of Nicole and said to Norah, "Norah, how could you say this about Nicole? If she really is merciless toward you, why would she even bother trying to relieve your pain?"

"That's right, Norah.You don't have to watch what you eat, but you have to watch what you say,"' Samuel finished, his gaze sharp and piercing.

 

Chapter 1577

It had been really annoying to see Norah sobbing and crying in the way she was, and in fact, the family were dumbfounded, unable to figure out when she had started behaving like that.

"You really should not have said that about Nicole," Sean said in a deep voice.

As for Stanley and Spencer, they were just sitting there, staring at Norah coldly.

They too, thought that it was unfair for Nicole.

Seeing that all her brothers that used to protect her were protecting and standing on Nicole's side instead, Norah's heart began brimming with jealousy.

‘‘Why? It has only been a few days.Why are they treating me like I'm an enemy? I could still accept it if they were just ignoring me and shielding Nicole a little.But now, I don't even have the right to tell Nicole off?!' she seethed.

It was at that moment that Norah realized that she no longer held the same degree of significance in the heart of the Riddle family.

Even her very last defender, Gloria, could not protect her anymore.

At that point, Norah was left completely perplexed.

On the other hand, Nicole was extremely grateful to her brothers for stepping up.She seldom spoke to them about anything that had happened previously.

But whenever someone targeted her, the brothers would protect her once they found out about it.

The feeling of being protected by her brothers was exceedingly warm and touching.

As Nicole came back to her senses, she decided that she was already tired of dealing with Norah.

"Dad, Norah is a Riddle too.As she is facing a unique situation, let's arrange a hotel for her to stay in.That way, if anyone spreads any rumors, they'd know we have already shown kindness and mercy.Once the truth is out and if Norah needs any help, we'll think about it then."

Hearing Nicole's stand, Daniel decided to let down his guard down.

"Alright, we'll do as you say."

"Godpa!"

Norah yelled, having never thought that Nicole's words would carry some weight.

'Even Daniel listens to her now?"

‘That's not right.When she came back, I heard that the family had organized a banquet.

Mr.Riddle Sr.has also begun to look highly upon Daniel and the family now.

Shouldn't Daniel be carrying himself with greater dignity in the eyes Mr.Riddle Sr.? Why are they still listening to Nicole?’ Norah wondered.

Daniel frowned and looked at Norah.

"Norah, we will help you take care of the issue concerning your parents’.

But, this is the Riddle family.

With your identity, it's not really suitable for you to stay here.

For now, you should follow Alfred to the hotel and stay there.

As for the rest, well, I must say, although we were your adoptive parents, we hope that you'll not call us godmom or god pa in public anymore.Just call us Aunt Gloria and Uncle Daniel."

Daniel had wanted to say these words during Norah's previous stay.

It was just that Norah had already left.

Since Norah had returned on her own volition, she could not blame Daniel for being mean.

"Godpa..."

Norah's face turned pale.

It was just a term of endearment, and yet, Daniel no longer allowed her to use it.

"Daniel..."

Gloria uttered, feeling that Daniel was being a little too cruel.

It was then that Sean spoke, 'Mom, leave this to me.I'll see to it that Norah's parents are found in the flesh, regardless of whether they are dead or alive."

Hearing those words, Norah subconsciously shivered.

‘Why does Sean's presence feel so scary?’ she thought.

After eyeing Norah's guilty look, Sean and Steve looked at each other.

Then, Steve told Norah, "Don't worry.After all, we are your brothers.We'll be sure to conduct a thorough investigation.Who knows, your parents might still be alive.Don't you think so?"

Chapter 1578

Another doubt instantly came to mind after Daniel had heard Steve's comment.He looked at Norah with even greater hostility.

Alfred, bring Norah to the hotel."

"Understood," The butler nodded and turned to Norah.

"Miss Norah, please follow me."

Norah stared at the butler blankly and turned back to look at the rest of the household.

Although she was reluctant to leave, she had no other choice upon noticing how heartless they were.She bit her lips and her eyes darkened.

"Alright, thank you...Uncle Daniel and Aunt Gloria.I'll make a move..."

After that, she bowed her head, turned around and followed the butler.

From her rear, she looked pathetic and weak.

Deep down, Gloria could no longer take it anymore.

Now that things had ended up as such, Gloria knew that it was all that she could do for Norah.

As the whole chaos had finally ended, Daniel brought Sean and Steve to work.

With Stanley also going to the headquarters to familiarize himself with the company.

This left Gloria, Nicole, Samuel, and Spencer at home.

After Nicole had accompanied Gloria back to her room for some rest, Nicole found Samuel and Spencer staring at her from the outside.

"Is there anything?" Nicole asked in an inquiring tone of voice.

Spencer pondered for a moment and said, "Nicole, do you know anything about Norah?"

The two boys had been staying with Nicole for quite some time.

They knew that she would never behave the way she did today: voluntarily performing needle techniques for someone and allowing Norah to stay at the hotel at her expense.

Previously, she would never care about Norah.

Nicole flashed them a cheeky smile.

"It seems that the both of you have been growing up."

Nicole had been through a lot, so her mental age was much greater as compared to her physical age.

Usually, she would be the wiser one as compared to Spencer and Samuel.

However, she noticed that Spencer and Samuel had been maturing well as of recent.

The boys looked at each other and said, "You've grown so much, of course we should do the same ourselves too.That way, we can stand up for you in the future."

When Nicole heard that Samuel and Spencer wanted to look out for her, she felt touched.

She could tell that, throughout all this time, the boys had become more caring toward her.

They treated her well and knew how to pamper her.

Perhaps she had been looking out for herself a little too much in the past, especially as she did not believe that any of her brothers could do much for her.

All she wanted was to protect them on her own.

But now, she knew that the Riddle brothers were not weak at all.

In fact, they were just not given a chance to shine as Daniel had always been rather forbearing.

In Nicole's heart, she trusted Samuel and Spencer a little.

So, she put on a more serious look as she said, "I think there's something fishy about the death of Norah's parents."

Nicole's words shocked the two boys, "Fishy...?"

The both of them had an idea, but they did not dare to open that can of worms.

After all, they were a family before this.

The boys did not want Norah to become that person.

"Let's wait for Sean to investigate and find the truth," she said.

If this was before, Nicole would definitely have ventured out and investigated the issue on her own, but now, she was learning to trust her elder brothers.

"Understood."

Spencer nodded slowly.

Nicole glanced at her watch.

Then, she looked up to the two boys and said, "School is reopening soon.I'm going out to buy some necessities.Do you guys want to follow?"

Although bringing these handsome twins out would catch people's attention, Nicole could tell that they were getting bored.

"Of course! There's nothing much for us to do today."

"Me too.You can help us pick our outfits for the company's annual dinner too!"

"That's right.Dad had asked us to prepare since we've never joined.We don't have any suits in our wardrobes either."

Asmile crossed her face.

"Alright, let's go together then."

 

Chapter 1579

Then, the three siblings headed out for shopping.

Spencer and Samuel had never gone on a shopping session with women before. Throughout their journey, they slowed their gaits for fear of tiring Nicole.

In the entire mall, everyone could see a pretty woman in between a pair of handsome twins, walking forward side by side. A lot of the ladies were secretly admiring them too. "Wow, such a handsome man...”

"Yeah, and they're twins too...”

"That girl is really fortunate to hang out with two handsome men.”

"I can't tell how they're related."

Many were looking at Nicole with envy, and even though Nicole had heard them, she did not take their words to heart.

After Nicole had bought a few of her usual stationaries and books, she went up to the counter to pay.

However, Samuel was fighting to get the bill. "How could I allow a lady to pay?”

"That's right." Spencer smiled, and in a cheeky move, left the items that he wanted on the counter. "Samuel, pay for all of these too."

Samuel instantly turned pale. "Dude, go away! Where are your own allowances?"

After he had spoken, he took Nicole's items and brought them to the cashier. "HI pay for these only.”

"What a miser!” Spencer glared at Samuel and took his own wallet out.

Then, he turned to Nicole and said, "He has always been this stingy. You're the only person he has been generous with."

Samuel rolled his eyes. "Stop talking smack about me!"

Spencer chuckled. "I'm telling the truth.”

"I think you're asking for trouble!” Samuel turned around, about to hit Spencer after he was done paying.

Spencer grabbed Nicole's shoulders and took cover behind her. "You better be careful. Don't hit Nicole!"

"You!" Samuel muttered, having had it up to Spencer's tricks.

However, this scene of the three siblings messing around was like a movie to the public's eye. It attracted the attention of several cashiers as they gathered to watch the three siblings.

Indeed, the presence of two handsome men and a beautiful woman together was a rare sight for all of them.

At that moment, everyone began to imagine how Nicole must be feeling. Being surrounded by two handsome guys must have made her feel elated.

However, Nicole's face was dark.

Then, she gave Samuel a slight kick to his ankle, “Stop screwing around."

"Ouch!" Samuel acted like his ankle was about to be bruised, even though she had only given him a light tap. "That's really painful! Please be gentler, little sis!”

‘Oh, she's actually the younger sister.’ Those who were watching from the sides observed, becoming even more envious of her.

What a great life it was, for her to have such handsome brothers.

After the three of them then stepped out of the shop, with Samuel was still grinning.

As they were walking, they suddenly heard someone calling out to Nicole.

"Nicole!"

The twins turned around and saw a tall man rushing toward them before running up to Nicole. "Nicole! It's been a while!”

Seeing that the man was approaching her, Samuel quickly raised his hand and grabbed onto the man's face. He was keeping the man at a distance of about three feet away.

Bradley could not react in time to push his hand away. His body was still rushing forward while Samuel's hand was pushing against his face. The entire scene was hilarious.

“Who are you?” Samuel raised his eyebrows and stared at Bradley.

Bradley never thought that Nicole would be hanging out with a famous figure in the basketball field.

He immediately straightened himself, "S-Samuel? You're our senior, Samuel!"

"You know me?” Samuel frowned.

Bradley's face had shock written all over it. ‘Who wouldn't know him? I'm not the only one. All of the Riddle boys are outstanding on their own merits in school. So, it's impossible that others wouldn't know them.’

"Bradley Robertson! Why are you running?” At that moment, two other people appeared behind Bradley, panting.

 

Chapter 1580

Once Nicole had taken a closer look, she saw June and Lulu.

"Lulu? June?" Nicole asked, having not seen them in a long while.

As Nicole did not expect to see them here, she was quite taken aback.

"Nicole?" Lulu rushed over happily and hugged Nicole. "Long time no see!"

After Nicole had gotten engaged, they had never met throughout the entire holiday, and a few days ago, there were still talking about Nicole

"It really has been quite a while.” Nicole happily smiled and returned Lulu's hug.

June glanced at Samuel.

Then, she greeted Nicole, "It truly has been some time since we last met. You look a lot prettier now. I heard that the Riddle family held a banquet a few days ago but...the Wallace family was not invited."

June had actually heard about the banquet, but she did not know what the occasion was. Besides, the Wallace family was also a third-rate family, and while they could still attend some regular gatherings, they did not have the right to join the much grander ones.

"The banquet was a last-minute decision by my grandpa. I didn't have enough time to send the invitations out,” Nicole replied remorsefully.

However, due to the situation at that time, it was better that June and the family had not attended.

Nicole did not want too many people from her school to find out about the matter. Otherwise, June and the rest would distance themselves from her.

"No worries." June smiled.

At that point, Samuel finally recognized June and Lulu. It was only then that he withdrew his hand, which was till on Bradley's face.

Then, Samuel finally remembered a few things about

Bradley. "Oh, you're Nicole's classmate."

Bradley rubbed his face in embarrassment. "Sorry for offending you."

Samuel lifted his chin, and the look on his face signaled, 'Of course you did.”

At that moment, Lulu saw the items in Nicole's hands and laughed, "You're here to buy stuff for the new semester too? June and

I also came over together. Then, we bumped into Bradley.

Bradley touched his nose. "This is the biggest mall in the city. Of course, I would be here."

Therefore, it was not really a coincidence as either.

"Since we've bumped into each other, why don't we have lunch together?" Lulu suggested to Nicole as she noticed that June was sneaking glances at Samuel.

Nicole smiled, as she understood Lulu's intention. "Sure, let's go together.”

Spencer and Samuel were not against it either, but it was then that Spencer said, "I know of a nice restaurant around here. Let's head over there.”

"Sure!" Lulu said with a wide smile on her face.

Spencer looked at Lulu. He could not help but return the smile, which prompted Lulu to blush.

Naturally, very few would be able to resist the charm of a handsome man's smile, and it was also normal for Lulu's heart to skip a beat.

Then, she let out a cough and quickly regained composure.

However, Nicole had noticed everything. ‘Lulu blushing upon seeing Spencer. Huh, that is not the first time, isn't it?’

Soon after, they arrived at a French cuisine restaurant near the shopping mall, and once Spencer had entered, he pulled a chair for Nicole to sit on. "Nicole, have a seat."

“Okay.” Nicole nodded and sat down.

Samuel immediately followed up by pouring glass of water for Nicole. "Have some water."

Watching how Nicole was being taken care of by her brothers, June and Lulu began to envy and admire Nicole.

"It's great to have an elder brother.” Lulu commented, fawning over Nicole to the point that she was about to drool.

Unable to hold herself back, June said, "Yeah, Nicole has five elder brothers. I only have a sister at home. It's so annoying!"

Nicole smiled. This time around, she felt like all of her brothers were pampering her a little too much. Indeed, their gestures could be excessive at times.

"Let's order.” Nicole motioned Lulu and the rest to order first.

Lulu and June were sharing one menu while Spencer and Samuel made Nicole read the menu on their side of the table.

"Nicole! You'll love this! And this too!"
