Ch. 1656..1660: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1656-1660

Chapter 1656

Nicole immediately said, There's no need for that.

Don't worry.

No one will pick on me.

Lloyd's the one who personally invited me after all." Even if Lloyd was not the one who had invited her, she would not be afraid of anything either.

As Nicole had a point, her family nodded.

Daniel, however, was a little worried.

"You're right, but aren't you still studying? Time wise..." Nicole shook her head.

"I've already discussed this with Lloyd.

The filming of all of my parts will take place either after class or during the weekends." "oh?" Daniel said, feeling a little surprised.

Although he did not understand much about the entertainment industry, it would almost be impossible for Lloyd to schedule the filming sessions to accommodate Nicole's time in order to get her to join the production.

At that point, even Sean's eyes began to darken.

But Steve immediately thought of the reason behind it.

"It's nothing really.

Nicole's the bearer of the Fire Crest.

There're plenty of people who wish to befriend her." Steve's statement gave Daniel somewhat of a reassurance.

‘Right, now that the Riddle family is unlike what it was before, it would make sense for Lloyd to want to continue working with the Riddle family.' "So when does the filming start?" Samuel asked, feeling a little excited.

Can we go to the set to observe?" Nicole sighed.

"Filming starts this weekend.

I'll let you know if you can be allowed to observe on set." "Nice!" Samuel nodded.

“You're the best, Nicole!" Seeing that everything was almost settled, all Nicole wanted was to flee her way upstairs.

"I'll go upstairs to get some rest first." Knowing that Nicole must be tired, Gloria said, "Okay, go and get some rest." "Okay." Nicole nodded as she hurried upstairs.

Even as they watched Nicole rushing up the flight of steps, her family still found it difficult to reeompose themselves.

Sean glanced at the top of the steps and decided that he would pop into the set once in a while to keep an eye on Nicole...

After going she had gone to her bedroom, Nicole gave herself a rinse and laid on the bed, unable to help herself from looking through her phone.

And sure enough, when the paparazzi first exposed her photo, everyone began to develop theories and suspicions about her relationship with Lloyd.

Thankfully, the production team had come forward to clarify the matter.

‘Seems to me that Lloyd did that as a last resort,’ she thought.

As that thought lingered, Nicole's phone rang, and upon taking a glance, she saw that it was Lloyd.

The moment she accepted the call, Lloyd immediately apologized.

"I'm sorry, Nicole.

You've seen the news, haven't you?" "Yeah, I've seen it already," Nicole nodded.

Her voice was extremely monotonous, bereft of any emotions, prompting Lloyd to think that she was unhappy, and so, he quickly explained, "I did not know that there would be a paparazzi at the entrance of the headquarters.

To avoid any misunderstandings, I had to reveal your role as the heroine.

Sorry, I know you hate this sort of attention." Hearing the sincerity in Lloyd's words, Nicole responded.

"It's okay.

Even though I'm not in the entertainment circle, I know the paparazzi are like mites.

They can literally be anywhere and everywhere.

It's not like we can just kill them like we do terrorists.

"W "Um..."" Lloyd choked on his words.

He knew that Nicole was speaking the truth but her use of the word 'kill' was a little too shocking.

"It's fine.

The cast of the female lead will be exposed sooner or later.

Since I've already decided to help you, I can't say that I haven't seen this coming," she said.

Ever since she returned to San Joto, things about her started to inadvertently reveal themselves one after another One by one, her secrets were exposed and now, as helpless as she was, she was beginning to get used to it already.

“That's good...

Thanks for understanding." Lloyd took a deep breath.

"Sorry for having to stop the meal so abruptly."

Chapter 1657

Nicole felt a little helpless upon hearing that.

"You loved to apologize back then too.

There's no need for that, really." Lloyd was taken aback.

He did not expect Nicole to remember the times when the two of them were out on their missions.

Although he was a little older than her, Nicole was such a prodigy that even a well-trained agent such as he had to follow her lead.

During several instances, he had almost become dead weight for Nicole, and that soon became a habit.

Now, even after he had become the scion of the Holder family, and even when he had not uttered a word of apology to anyone since, he would still retain this particular habit with Nicole.

"But I do not want this news to stay trending, and I do not wish to attract too much of an attention.

I'll leave that to you." Nicole said, knowing what Lloyd should do to get the furor to die down.

“Alright. Don't worry, I'll get someone to settle it ASAP.

Havea good sleep," he replied.

"will do." Nicole nodded before hanging up.

Lloyd pressed the red icon, and proceeded to fix his eyes on the scene outside the window.

'So... she actually still remembers some of the things in the past..." His lips lifted as he let out a happy smile.

During the very next morning, as soon as Nicole arrived at school, she had already guessed that many would be surprised to see her, and that the chatter among them would soon ensue.

However, she did not know that it would be even worse this time.

Indeed, there were already more than a dozen of students waiting for her at the entrance of the school.

Nicole got out of the car and her frown became instant as she looked at the crowd standing by the gate.

Samuel grinned.

"Look, Nicole, you're famous now.

The news of the school having a superstar was trending in the school's forum last night and some said they wanted an autograph from you.

I didn't think they'd really camp at the gate for you." Nicole was instantly flabbergasted.

'When did that happen? Why didn't I know about it?" And on second thought, she did not even bother to browse through the school forum much to begin with.

Staring the crowd before her, Nicole was at loss as to how she was supposed to get into school.

If they were a bunch of criminals, she would have just kicked them aside and entered, but the sad truth to her was, all these people here were just students.

Just when she was at her wit's end, Austin suddenly appeared with Sammey and the gang in tow.

"Make way, make way! Don't harass Nicole!" “Move it, you lot! How is our boss supposed to enter the gate with you fools crowding around here!?" Seeing that the school bully was here, everyone there hoping for Nicole's autograph could only take a step back.

Those who had been cordoned off by the gang dared not take another further step forward.

Samuel and Spencer laughed out loud in astonishment.

"Nicole, your underlings here are surely useful." Austin being Nicole's underling was already an open secret at school.

Because of this, naturally, Samuel and Spencer knew about it too.

"Yeah.

I never felt him being so useful before." Nicole raised a brow, feeling that Austin was quite the sight for sore eyes today.

As soon as Austin noticed that Nicole was looking toward the direction from which she had come, he immediately ran over.

" Boss, I'll be here to send you in! Don't you worry.

With me around, No one will dare to harass you!" Nicole flashed Austin a faint smile.

"Good work." Nicole rarely ever smiled at him, and this smile was so radiant that it felt as though it could light the sun up as well.

That made Austin's heart skip a beat, enchanting him for a moment.

“Austin, bro..." Noticing Austin standing there like a statue, Sammey elbowed him by reflex.

It was only then that Austin snapped back into reality as he shook his head and gave Nicole a gesture of invitation.

Boss!" Immediately after, Nicole swaggered into school under the protection of a bunch of her underlings.

 

Chapter 1658

Many had looks of jealousy on their faces as Nicole sauntered into the classroom block.

"What you're staring at? Have you never seen a pretty girl before?" "That's right! Stop crowding around here! Get back to class!"

Austin, Sammey and the gang guarded Nicole while yelling at everyone to leave her alone.

Those who had wanted to see Nicole's face, or even those who had brought a notebook for Nicole to sign had to give up as soon as they saw that Nicole was completely surrounded, making it so that there was no way for them to get an autograph.

Still, everyone from the tenth to twelfth grade had seen how Nicole had walked into her classroom with such swagger.

Raine was extremely jealous at the sight of that.

Neither she nor her sister had ever received such treatment when they were the school beauties.

As of now, Nicole was not only the school beauty, for she was also making a debut in the entertainment industry with Lloyd in her very first gig, making things for her all the more astonishing.

Raine, on the other hand, was almost driven to madness by her jealousy.

'If only that flower pot had fallen on Nicole that day, she wouldn't have been able to act! Screw those two bozos!’ Gritting her teeth, she could not resist herself from sneering when Nicole walked past her classroom.

"Instead of studying, what is a student doing in the filming industry? Where are your priorities?" Raine mocked.

The second Nicole heard Raine's voice, she paused for a moment.

If it was before, Nicole would have just ignored Raine, but as of recent, Raine had proven herself to be a piece of work, and as such, there was no longer a need for Nicole to treat her with kids' gloves.

"As far as I recall, my academic results are far better than yours, so what right do you have to pass judgment on any of my activities?" Nicole retorted.

The moment she said that, everyone fixed their gaze on Raine at once.

Although Raine's grades were decent, they were not remotely even comparable to the top dog's that was Nicole's.

Even if they were not of the same grade, Nicole would almost always pass with perfect grades and with flying colors every time, which was something Raine had never achieved before.

"You! uy "You what? Cat got your tongue? Or are you feeling a little ashamed with those academic result of yours?" Nicole sneered back.

W I ! W "I what? Have you not been subjected to enough humiliation after the volleyball got your face last week?" Nicole mockingly brought up the incident from before.

This instantly drew a sea of sniggers from the crowd.

The last time Raine went about trending on the forum was because of that picture with her eyes rolled backward.

It was truly hilarious.

Seeing that she had become the object of ridicule by everyone, Raine was red with embarrassment.

She stomped her feet and leered.

"Hmph! Just you wait, Nicole! " After that, she ran into her classroom to hide.

Austin, Samuel and Spencer were quite surprised.

Nicole would normally remain low-key and her icy temperament meant that she could not even be bothered to suffer fools like Raine.

As it turned out, she was just being merciful.

‘If she really wants to grill someone, the other party would stand no chance against her at all!’ "Boss, you're amazing!" Austin said, tooting her horn on her behalf.

In reply, Nicole shot him a glance and said, "She asked for it." "Yes, yes! You're right, Boss!" Austin guffawed.

Nicole remained silent as she walked straight into her classroom.

Noticing that Austin was escorting Nicole into the classroom, the entire class, which had been waiting to get Nicole's autograph, all returned to their seats.

The moment Nicole sat down, Austin glanced at everyone in class.

He then gave them a warning look as he raised his voice.

"Nicole is here to study, so let me make this clear.

No one is allowed to harass her for any autographs or selfies, or else, you can forget about going back home later!" This warning caused everyone to cower a little.

Gary, Jack and Wayne were the only one who did not react.

After all, they did not want Nicole's autograph to begin with.

Seeing that his threat had worked, Austin turned to Nicole and said, "Boss, class is almost starting.

I'll head off first."

 

Chapter 1659

“Okay. Thanks, and sorry for all the trouble." Nicole looked up as she gave him a gentle praise.

"Not at all! It's no trouble at all! It's my privilege to serve you, boss!" After he had spoken, Austin quickly left Nicole's classroom.

Although the entire school knew that Austin idolized Nicole, they had never seen him being so partial and protective of her; he was like an alpha wolf to the others, and an obedient dog to her.

Their dynamic was truly difficult to explain in words.

Yet, no one could afford to offend and anger Austin, so they could only bear with it.

As expected of them, they all placed their books away.

Bradley tucked his book away as well before he whispered, " Nicole...

You're just too damn awesome." ‘She actually got Austin to help clear the way for her.

Who would dare to surround Nicole now?' he thought.

“Yeah, Austin's threatening demeanor earlier was really scary." Lulu looked out of the door in fear.

Nicole glanced at the three of them.

"He's just threatening the others.

That has nothing to do with you three." Lulu and June were both good friends of hers, so Austin would never lay his hands on them.

Bradley, however, immediately perked up as soon as he heard that.

"Does that mean...you can give me an autograph?" Nicole instantly rolled her eyes at him with Lulu following suit.

Even June shook her head, thinking that Bradley was totally hopeless...

‘Nicole will not give anyone an autograph, and that dude seriously thought he would get one?' Bradley scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Why are you guys looking at me like that...?" He really had no idea what was going on.

Nicole could not be bothered with him anymore, so she turned around and prepared for class.

Behind her, Gary had been staring at Nicole, and the dark circles under his eyes were even more pronounced.

He had stayed up all night the day before to crack the protection, and with the thought that Nicole might very well be Lucifer, he could not sleep at all.

Even now, he had the urge to rush over and ask if Nicole was Lucifer.

However, Lucifer was among the best of hackers and it was not something one could ask in public...

‘It seems to me that I can only find an opportunity to test her...' he schemed.

With Austin's threat, Nicole had a very comfortable day in class.

Even the seniors dared not find trouble with her.

After the afternoon self-study session, Lulu immediately came to Nicole after class.

"Nicole, do you know that the two girls who threw the flower pot down has been given a major infraction?" Nicole nodded.

"I've heard about it." Deep down, however, Nicole knew that this was too light a punishment.

Her real goal was not to just get them a major infraction, but to lure Raine, the mastermind behind this whole incident, out.

Lulu leaned in even closer this time as she whispered, "I heard that the parents of the two girls came to school in the morning, claiming that their daughters were being ordered to do that against their will.” “Oh? The parents got involved?" Nicole raised her eyebrow.

She had thought that the two girls would look for the school authorities to reveal the true culprit, but she did not expect that their parents would show up too.

It seemed to her that the two girls were still adamant about saving Raine's rear, but their parents had not approved of that.

The corner of Nicole's lips lifted as she smiled, for things were about to get more interesting.

She then feigned ignorance and asked, "Say, who was the one behind all this?" The moment Nicole brought that up, Lulu became angry.

"I heard that it was Raine, but someone was keeping the news under wraps and were trying their best to keep it from spreading!

I just happened to walk past the volleyball team room and overheard that, and it seems that the school has invited the parents over for a talk later." Upon hearing that Raine's parents had been summoned, Nicole's smile widened.

For some reason, when Lulu saw Nicole's smile, she an inexplicable chill running down her spine.

“How about we go and have a look for ourselves?" Nicole flashed Lulu a wicked smile, knowing that Lulu loved gossips.

Chapter 1660

Lulu was taken aback.

"Huh? But you...Don't you hate listening to gossip?" ‘What's up with Nicole today? Wasn't it her who had the initiative to bring me here to see the fun?’ Lulu asked herself.

“Who's the one who should be indemnified? She almost hit you!" Nicole's eyes narrowed.

If Nicole had not given Lulu a little nudge, she would not have struck out at Raine so ruthlessly.

It was then that Lulu realized that she had gone a little too far.

' Nicole won't ever let her stay in this school in peace!' Lulu was left feeling overwhelmed when she found out that Nicole had transferred to her school so that she could take good care of her.

"I've heard that the principal was already notified about it.

Even if we go there, we won't be able to catch a glimpse of anything..." Lulu said.

Though Lulu wanted to have a peek of whatever was happening, she knew she did not have the authority to enter the place.

"It's okay, I'll take you in." Nicole rose to her feet.

"Hey! Nicole!" Though the next period was a self-study class, it was still nota good idea for them to just get up and leave.

In spite of this, Nicole threw all of her care out of the window and walked out of the classroom anyway, with Lulu gritting her teeth as she follow Nicole out.

Lulu was aware of Nicole's position in all of this.

If she said that she could get them both in, they would definitely be able to.

Soon, they arrived at the front of the principal's office and stood still by the door, listening to vague voices of accusation from the other side.

"It was not easy for our daughter to get into Royal Creek.

She has been forced into this.

How can she be given a severe punishment while the culprits get away with it? It's not fair to us!" a voice belted out, and at that instant, Nicole and Lulu knew it was the voice of the mother of one of the two girls.

“How many times have I said this? It wasn't my daughter who had instigated this! They did this on their own volition!" a familiar voice argued.

Karen was still as arrogant and domineering as ever, even in Royal Creek.

In the past, she might have been terrified of Mr. Ellison, but now that the Riddle family had given Karen the recognition and credit, she had developed a sense of bravado, allowing her to yell in front of Mr. Ellison's face.

Seeing this, Nicole's eyes darkened.

"Ms. Riddle, please calm down...," Mr. Ellison said.

Nicole's grimace became even more pronounced.

If it was not for her reputation, Mr. Ellison would have called Karen Ms. Marquez.

However, Karen was still intent on abuse her power by bullying and embarrassing others.

'How can I just tolerate this?’ With that in mind, Nicole kicked the principal's door open with a loud bang, flinging it wide open.

This stunned everyone in the room, especially Mr. Ellison.

Throughout his entire tenure, there was not a single student who had dared to kick his door.

Mr. Ellison was about to fly off the handle, bit when he realized that the person who kicked his door was Nicole, he choked on his words, gasping for breath before stiffly forcing himself to change the look on his face.

“Nicole? Why are you here? Come inside quickly..." Mr. Ellison gently said to Nicole.

Everyone in the room saw how quickly Mr. Ellison's expression changed as they stared blankly at the door.

Karen had not expected Nicole to show up, as she had only made her way to school on the behalf of her daughter, Raine.
