Ch. 1621..1625: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1621-1625

Chapter 1621

Aside from the fact that they were playing volleyball, they had to play against twelfth graders. It was obvious that this was bullying.

Even Vivian could feel her confidence waning.

At this moment, she looked at Nicole and whispered, “Nicole, they have ill intentions. Raine is clearly coming after you. Please don't bring any of US down together with you...”

Nicole rolled her eyes and said, ‘Don’t worry, I won't drag any of you down with me.”

It was only then did Vivian piped down somewhat.

However, the teacher was dead set in his ways. "You girls, form a group. Have a set with your seniors first."

The teacher then pointed at Nicole, the class representative, Lulu, June and Vivian's general direction.

At that instant, Vivian's expression changed. “It can't be right. I'm in too?"

She did not play volleyball at all.

"Of course. Hurry up,’ the teacher said, and called another girl over to create a team of five before sending them into the court.

Seeing Nicole on the court, Raine became very excited. She had been rearing to challenge Nicole and did not expect the teacher to be so accommodating by sending Nicole in for the first game. She would definitely not miss this golden opportunity to make a fool out of Nicole!

Now in the court, Raine flashed them a fake smile. "Don't worry, we'll go easy on you.”

Nicole looked at Raine and spat back coldly, “I won't be so certain as to who's going to go easy on who.”

When Raine heard that, her expression darkened. "Come and try then!"

As she said that, she leaped up high and launched the ball directly at Nicole.

"Watch out!” Seeing that Raine had spiked the ball with great strength, Lulu shot Nicole a look of worry.

Yet, the latter was totally unfazed as she held her own and gathered her strength, sending the ball straight back into the air.

The ball immediately bounce upwards and was at an unusually high height!

"Oh my, she has quite the strength!” the teacher yelled, for he was taken aback.

Even Raine's friends were stunned, but it was then that the ball plummeted toward Nicole's side of the court.

Raine sneered. ‘So what if she possesses great strength? What use is it if the ball fails to land on the opposing side?’

She wanted to let Gary see for himself who was the better person today.

And just as Raine was remained conceited, Nicole suddenly leaped up. She took aim at the ball that then fell before her and spiked it hard, getting everyone to hear a loud bang.

Before Raine could even react, the trajectory of the ball changed and cannonballed toward Raine's face.

What followed was a shrill scream. "AHHH!!"

This prompted everyone at the court to turn their heads around.

Then, what they saw was the ball smashing right into Raine's face, and as her eyes rolled into the back of her skull, blood spurted out of her nose.

She then crashed onto the ground with much force. Due to the power of the spike, the volleyball rebounded into the net before falling to the ground with a thud, after which there was deafening silence. No one had expected her move to be so powerful.

And what was even less expected was the fact that Raine’s eyes had rolled back after she had fallen onto the ground as she laid there motionless with a bleeding nose...

The atmosphere froze for a good few seconds before the crowd rushed over and surrounded Raine.

“Raine! Raine, are you alright?!" Raine’s clique hurried over.

However, she was already unconscious by then.

The teacher too was appalled as he ran over and carried Raine up. "To the infirmary!"

 

Chapter 1622

At that moment, both Lulu and June were left dumbstruck.

Bradley rushed over to Nicole's side. "Holy moly, Nicole! That was awesome! Your spike was far better than theirs!"

That was the twelfth-grade women's volleyball team that had represented the school in many games.

No one expected Nicole would knock Raine out with just a single spike. At that point, it was clear that she outclassed her opponents in terms of skill.

Yet, all Nicole did was put her hands in her pocket as her demeanor turned cold. "I don't know how to play volleyball. I just learned that on the spot."

"Eh?"

"Nah, that can't be right."

The instant they heard that Nicole did not know how to play volleyball, Lulu, Bradley and the others were all taken aback.

But you just..." Bradley said in surprise.

But before he could finish the sentence, Nicole shot him a glance. “It's just a move I've picked up from Raine. Well, at least this set is done now."

She really did not know how to play volleyball, nor did she wish to. Moreover, she never wanted to rope Lulu and the rest of them into this mess. Thus, the best way out of that predicament was to take Raine out of action in a single move, which she managed to pull off.

Then, Nicole turned around and headed back to class. "Let's go back to class."

Seeing that, all of the boys in the class looked at Nicole and instinctively took a step back.

Meanwhile, Jack looked on in astonishment as Nicole led Lulu and her cohort past them. "Boss... did you see that just now?

Nicole's strength is out of this world, don't you think?"

"Yeah, she's even so good, even at volleyball. Damn, she's scary. Is there anything she can't do?” Wayne commented in shock.

The two then looked back at Gary, who was silent. ‘Nicole never ceases to surprise me. She seems to be capable of anything..."

He suddenly recalled her words the other day, and that was when he realized that he might really not understand her at all.

Although the odds were tiny, there might be a possibility that Nicole did not need his help with computers to begin with.

Shaking his head, Gary left the court with a glum look on his face.

And just like that, the little fracas during PE class was over.

By the afternoon, however, the school forum was flooded with pictures of Raine's bloodied face after the volleyball had smashed into it, and Nicole's name once again caused an uproar in school.

With Raine being made to look like a fool, Snow was affected as well, with many people coming to ask her about the incident.

So, Snow had to make her way to the infirmary to ask Raine about everything that had happened.

Raine's nose was swollen and wrapped in gauze, her face looking totally miserable.

The moment she saw Snow, Raine flew into a tirade. "Snow! Nicole bullied the hell out of me! You must get back at her for me!"

She had just wanted to teach Nicole a lesson today, but unfortunately for her, she ended up at the receiving end of one. She was utterly humiliated.

"What's the matter with you? Weren't we warned not to mess with her at school?"

Who is Nicole now? That's right. Grandpa's favorite granddaughter. Even Uncle Damien's family needs to kowtow to Uncle Daniel's family now, and so do we.’

"I... [just couldn't stand seeing her hurt Gary,’ Raine said as a pained look appeared in her eyes.

In response, Snow snorted. “It's time to wake up, silly. When has Gary set eyes on you ever since Nicole made an appearance?

Are you still pining over him?"

"That's because Nicole tried to seduce Gary by joining the competition with him!” Raine hissed. "I don't care! I'll make Nicole pay for this!"

‘So what if everyone is kissing up to her now? It'll be fine if no one sees me,’ she thought.

Snow proceeded to give Raine a look of defeat. "You are hopeless. Do what you want. Just don't get me involved!"

After saying that, Snow turned around and left, leaving Raine to stand there in a daze.

‘Even Snow doesn't care about me now!’ she seethed.

Chapter 1623

‘It's all Nicole's fault! I'll kill her if that's the last thing I do!1

After school, Nicole, Lulu and June walked out of the classroom and went descended the flight of steps to head home.

As she thought about how Nicole was about to catch her ride home soon, Lulu lamented, "I really miss the days when you stayed in the dormitory with us. It's just the two of US this semester. It's so lonely."

Although no one dared to bully them anymore because of their friendship with Nicole, they felt very lonely without Nicole around.

"It's better to be lonely. The last semester has been nothing but chaotic.” Nicole replied, knowing that most of the chaos was because of her, and that the two of them would do much better this semester.

"It is, but we do miss you a lot.” June smiled as she looked at Nicole with an expression of sincerity.

"I'll go to the dorm to look for you two when I have the time.” Nicole relented in an attempt to comfort them.

By then, the three of them had walked out of the class building.

Lulu then waved at Nicole. "That's a promise. Go on home now!”

“Yeah.” Nicole nodded and turned toward away.

And just then, she suddenly sensed that something was falling from above. She instinctively looked up and that was when she saw a flower pot plummeting toward Lulu.

“Lulu!” Nicole exclaimed.

Lulu turned around, and before she could even react, Nicole shoved her aside.

The falling flower pot struck Nicole square on the shoulder, prompting her to let out a muffled grunt as she rolled onto the ground together with Lulu.” Ugh!"

June was shocked, and when she saw Nicole falling she immediately rushed toward her. "Nicole! Lulu! Are you alright?!"

She then looked up, just to see no one on the second to the seventh floor.

"Who did that?” June roared. "Show yourself, coward!"

Lulu, who noticed that Nicole was not looking right, said, "June, Nicole is probably hurt. Let's get to the infirmary?"

Nicole, however, shook her head as she moved her shoulder. “Just a minor injury. I'll deal with it back at home.”

"Huh? No can't do, that's a flower pot you know...?"

“Yeah, we don't know which floor it had fallen from either..."

If it was any other person, their shoulder would be in so much pain that they would not be able to do much after that at all.

However, Nicole just shook her head as though the pot had barely done any sort of damage to her. "It's fine. I'll go home first. Take care on your way back.”

She did not want them to get hurt again.

"Okay, don't worry about us,” Lulu said.

“Right.” Nicole nodded and walked out of school, pretending as though nothing had happened.

No matter who the culprit was, she would not find anything even if she headed up there now. It would be wiser if she headed home and hacked into the school's computer system to discover who was behind that assault.

Just when Spencer and Samuel saw Nicole walking out from school, they immediately waved at her. ' Nicole! Over here!"

Nicole took a deep breath, not wanting her family to know about anything that had happened just now. Then, she quietly activated the Beacon, hoping that it could relieve the pain and heal her up quickly.

However, just as Nicole was about to enter the car, Samuel pulled her arm. “Hurry up and get in! Get dressed and get yourself dolled up. Don't be late for the dinner!"

Nicole endured the stinging pain, but it was then that her face turned a little pale.

Noticing that something was not right with Nicole, Spencer immediately told Samuel, "Let Nicole go. Something is wrong with her."

Samuel was stunned for a few seconds, whereupon he turned around and looked at Nicole. "What's the matter?"

Nicole took a deep breath. “I'm fine. Just feeling a little unwell."

She chose to not tell them the truth, as she did not want her brothers to get all worried over something she considered trivial.

Chapter 1624

Noticing that Nicole was indeed feeling unwell, Samuel and Spencer gently helped her into the car in a hurry. As for Nicole, she avoided any contact and movements with her shoulder, planning to treat it once she got home.

Deep down, however, she was cursing at the predicament she was in. * Crap, I've forgotten that the dinner is today. If there's a bruise, how am I supposed to wear a dress?"

After Samuel and Spencer had gotten into the car, the driver quickly drove back them to the Riddle residence, where everyone at was busy dressing up. Upon arrival, Samuel and Spencer scattered to get their own change of clothes.

Meanwhile, Nicole went straight upstairs after greeting her parents.

There was not much time left for her to check the school's surveillance cameras, and so, she could only find a way to deal with her wound first.

The second she took her coat off, she noticed that her shoulder was swollen and severely bruised.

Even though the Beacon could speed her recovery up, it would be impossible to remove all traces of the bruise, for the dinner would begin in two hours.

Nicole pondered for a bit before grabbing the dress that Jared had given here, deciding to make some last-minute adjustments by stitching up the parts which would leave her shoulder exposed.

Although it looked a little less sexy, it could cover the bruise well enough while maintaining the air of dignity. After she had taken care of that, the stylist her family had hired came upstairs to help her out with her hair, and when she went back to the living room downstairs, everyone stared at her.

Even though Nicole was always beautiful, there would always be something different about it in each and every single occasion, and that was what drew the admiration of everyone around her.

"You're really beautiful, Nicole."

"Yeah, if only Nicole was my companion for tonight..." Spencer sighed.

"Dream on." Samuel rolled his eyes at him.

The entire family broke into a fit of laughter.

Samuel suddenly remembered something. "Nicole, what about our companions? Have you forgotten about it?”

This was a big deal for them. Their brothers all had their own companions and it would be quite unsightly if they did not have one themselves.

The second Nicole saw the look of anticipation on Samuel and Spencer's faces, she smiled awkwardly. "I... really did forget about it..."

This was the truth. She had intended to tell Lulu and June about this during PE class, but she had forgotten about it after the incident with Raine.

"Huh? You've got to be kidding me!" Spencer cried.

"How can you forget something so important?" Samuel gave Nicole a distressed look.

When Nicole saw the look of disappointment on their faces, she sniggered. “Don't worry, I did forget about it, but I've just sent a message to my classmates. They are preparing right now and will be there to meet US at the headquarters of Riddle Corporation."

She had contacted both Lulu and June when the stylist was doing her hair. The two of them were so shocked they almost fell off their beds as they rushed off to their own homes to prepare.

Judging by the hour they were in, they would be on a tight schedule, but there should be enough time for them to get themselves ready for the event.

Upon hearing that, both Samuel and Spencer heaved a sigh of relief.

"That's good. At least we won't look so out of place," Samuel said.

Stanley then looked at twins as if to tease them. "Fortunately, I was quick."

As he said that, he darted his eyes at Tia, who was walking down from the first floor.

Stanley had carefully chosen a dress for Tia. Although it was nothing expensive, it suited Tia very well.

Moreover, with Tia's air of purity and innocence, she looked quite ladylike in the garb.

"How gorgeous.” Gloria praised as she beamed. "Tia, you sure are pretty. You look absolutely gorgeous after having put your make-up on."

Nicole looked at Tia in surprise as well. "You should doll up like this more often."

Tia was blushing under the gaze of Nicole and the men of the Riddle Family. "Don't tease me like that, Miss Nicole.”

She was just an orphan whom Nicole had hired to take care of Mrs.

Wallace Sr., and she felt honored enough for that. She had never expected that she would be given an opportunity to wear such dresses and become the companion of a young scion in an important banquet.

“I'm not teasing you. You look really gorgeous." Nicole smiled warmly.

It was only then that Tia felt that the praise was genuine as she flashed them a bashful smile. “Thank you, Miss Nicole, and also to Mr. Stanley for preparing this dress for me..."

Chapter 1625

If it were not for Stanley, she really would not have been given the opportunity to wear such a dress.

"You're too kind. Being my companion is a far harder ask, in my opinion." Stanley smiled and thanked her gently.

Seeing that Stanley's companion was already present, Samuel pouted. He only felt a tad bit better when he noticed that Sean and Steve's companions were yet to be here.

"If all of you are ready, let's go.” Daniel looked at his watch and slowly got up.

“Alright.” Gloria nodded as she walked forward while holding Daniel with their arms linked.

Sean and Steve led the way in making way for their parents, with Nicole, Stanley, Samuel, and Spencer following along with Tia in tow.

When Mrs. Wallace Sr. saw the family leaving in such a grand display of regality, she could not help but feel very happy for them. The night lights shone bright.

At the ground level of the Riddle Corporation building, luxury cars were driving in one after another, with all of them stopping to drop their passengers before leaving.

Although this was just an annual meeting, many individuals from respected families, regardless of whether they had cooperative ties with the Riddle Family or not, attended in hopes of getting an opportunity to forge partnerships with the Riddle Corporation due to the current status of the Riddles.

As soon as the cars ferrying the Riddle Family stopped, many in the crowd exclaimed in hushed voices.

“Look! That's the car of the daughter of the Riddle Family, Nicole!"

Everyone looked over, only to see a Lincoln limousine halting.

The first to step out were Sean and Steve, and when the two handsome young men had gotten out of the car, many ladies exclaimed, "Wow, how fetchingly handsome...”

"I heard that they are Nicole's brothers, and she has five of them. All of her brothers are outstanding individuals..."

As the crowd gossiped among themselves, Daniel and Gloria got out with the help of Sean and Steve.

The moment the crowd saw the middle-aged yet dashing Daniel, and Gloria, who had an air of elegance about her, everyone was taken aback.” So, that's why the sons are so handsome. The parents are equally as good looking...”

As they said that, Samuel and Spencer got out of the car one after another.

They were as suave as their elder brothers and their appearance immediately drew quite a lot of screams from the crowd.

"My goodness! The Riddle brothers are all absolute babes!"

"They are so handsome!”

"I Know right?”

This was the first time Samuel and Spencer had attended this occasion, and when they heard the comments, they felt pumped up. ‘Thank goodness we're handsome and haven't done anything particularly disgraceful. Not bad. Not bad at all!"

After that, Nicole began to step out of the car. Her beautiful visage, even with just minute amounts of make-up applied, was enough to stun everyone present.

At that instant, the men were not the only ones gawking at her, for even the ladies began to join in as well.

"That's Nicole Riddle? She's too pretty...!"

"Yeah, she's so gorgeous!"

Unfortunately, when Nicole got out of the car, she accidentally lost her balance.

When Spencer and Samuel saw that, they immediately propped her up with their hands on both sides while Stanley spun around and gave her a look of concern. Even Sean and Steve took a step back to help her out.

"You alright?"

With all of her brother's eyes on her, Nicole was a little flustered "Can I not be?”

However, it was then that all of the women around them began to jeer and scream out of envy at once.

“Woah... being doted on by so many handsome men? I'm so jealous!”

"Yeah, I want to have many handsome brothers too!”
