Ch. 166..170: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 166-170

Chapter 166

Snow glanced at Raine. She had no reason to vent at her sister, so she said softly, “I’m fine. How are things between you and Gary?”

The Finley family was also one of the elite families of San Joto, and Raine had always been proud of the fact she was close to Gary.

But recently, Gary had been using the excuse of being busy with his revisions and rejected her countless invitations.

Thinking of this, even Raine wore a grim look as she hissed, “Gary is particularly cold to me of late. It’s all Nicole’s fault! What should I do, Snow?”

She had no idea that Harvey’s attitude toward Snow already had Snow at her wit’s end. She thought that her sister’s relationship with Harvey was still good, so she wanted her to give her some ideas.

However, Snow, too, was having a headache. She kept telling herself that Harvey still cared for her, yet there was inexplicable anxiety in her heart.

Harvey did not acknowledge her at all. He had warned her against being delusional.

Thinking of this, a grim glint appeared in her eyes, but she still comforted Raine as she said, “. Gary might really be distracted by his studies. After all, Nicole had made such a proclamation and placed all the pressure on him. Even if he says nothing, you must show understanding, okay?”

When Raine heard that, she felt it made sense, and so she nodded, “Yes, Snow.”

Snow then continued, “Ignore Nicole. What Grandpa is focused on is our results. You must maintain first place in the exams this month, and don’t let it slip. We’ll then have a way to

chase Nicole out!”

‘Once Nicole no longer has the backing of the Riddle family, she will be nothing!’ ‘Let’s see how she seduces someone then!’

Raine nodded. ‘Nicole is a nobody and only has the Riddle family as her backing. If we can get Grandpa to disown her, then it will be impossible for her to have a place in San Joto.’

Soon, a servant asked both of them to go downstairs for dinner. Both Snow and Raine looked at each other and clearly saw the intent in each other’s eyes.

‘Nicole must not be allowed to remain in the Riddle family!

It will be the weekend tomorrow, and as usual, the four sons of the Riddle family will bring their children back for dinner. Yet, when Mr. Riddle Sr. came downstairs, he did not see Nicole

or Chloe. Everyone was already at the dinner table, and he could not help but let out a dissatisfied frown.

He looked toward the room, and Damien and Miley immediately said respectfully, “Father, Chloe had recently gotten an invitation from a director, and she is still filming in Nottingbrook State. She’ll only be back around next week.”

When Mr. Riddle Sr. heard that, only did his expression soften. He looked at his quiet grandson, Everett, sitting by Damien’s side as he said. “Everett, what is it like in the company?

Everett bowed with head low, hiding his expression away from Mr. Riddle Sr.’s sight, yet the latter could hear his respectful voice. “Grandfather, I’ve learned many things from Father, Uncle Dillon, and Uncle Dexter. But there are still many things I don’t know yet, and I’ll work hard.”

Seeing him having such a positive attitude, Mr. Riddle Sr. nodded with satisfaction. “Keep this attitude up.”

After that, he looked dimly at Daniel, his voice rumbling. “Daniel, where is Nicole? Why isn’t she back? Why hasn’t she been coming back to the Riddle family house?”

He also wanted to ask why Nicole was at the Rogers family mansion and why was she not back this weekend.

Daniel immediately responded. “Father, Nicole had been studying at school for the exam, and she is probably late today. I’ll give her a call. Please calm down.”

As they said that, Daniel and Gloria quickly called Nicole, but her phone was unexpectedly turned off, 4

 

Chapter 167

As she was a movie star, Chloe’s situation was understandable. Nicole, on the other hand, had not even secured her place within the family, and she did not even deign to come back. Even if the old man were to stand up for her all this while, he would still be unhappy about it.

The two looked at each other, and sweat started to come down from their foreheads. Both Samuel and Spencer too anxiously gave Nicole a call. They had not seen their little sister much this week and thought that they could have a nice chat with her today, but it turned out that she did not return home at all.

Even the usually steady Sean had a worried look in his eyes. ‘Nicole’s behavior, be it intentional or not, it’s tantamount to an affront to grandpa. We hear nothing about her during our family dinner, which is held once a week, and she is absent without notice. This must be an affront to his authority in grandpa’s eyes.’

At this moment, Mr. Riddle Sr.’s face was so grim one could wring the bitterness out of it.

Seeing this scene, Norah was gleeful. Although she did not know why Nicole did not come back, when she saw the old man being dissatisfied with Nicole, she was happy.

At this moment, Raine took the opportunity and said, “Grandpa, Nicole straight up refused to speak to Snow and me at school, as if she can’t be bothered with the Riddle family. She even got along with the bully from the neighboring school and did not focus on her studies. She isn’t studying hard like what Uncle Daniel said.”

Snow waited until Raine was done before she spoke, “Raine, don’t say that. Perhaps Nicole was held back by something…”

Before Snow was done speaking , Karen sneered, “Snow, you don’t have to speak for Nicole. The fact she did not come back today proved everything. It does seem like we are nothing to

her.”

Dillon, too frowned. “Did Nicole really think herself a big shot or something? She isn’t even assured a place in the family, so what’s with the posturing?”

Preston had his headphones on and could not be bothered to participate in this crusade against Nicole.

However, his character on the phone had already died five times in a row, and he tossed his phone aside somewhat irritably. Just as he was about to say something, Damien suddenly spoke. “Enough, stop it.”

Miley looked at her husband, too, not understanding why he suddenly spoke up for Nicole.

Even Dexter looked at hie aldau huatl

Dillon was just angry about that.” ..

Emma looked at Dexter too. She had always kept her tongue and only said a sentence. “Listen to Damien and stop it.”

Dillon looked at his elder brother with some dissatisfaction, not understanding why the latter suddenly became neutral.

Everett, on the other hand, gave his father a thoughtful look.

Daniel gave Damien a grateful look and wanted to give Nicole another call. “Father, Nicole might be on her way. Let’s wait a–”

Mr. Riddle Sr. said with a gloomy face. “No need. Since she isn’t willing to come back here to eat, there’s no need to wait for her.”

It seemed like he had spoiled Nicole a little too much, so much so that she became so defiant.

He angrily knocked his walking stick onto the ground as he hissed coldly. “Ignore here. Tell the cook to serve the food!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, some were elated; some were worried.

Aside from Preston, everyone from Dillon’s household wore a look of surprise on their face. They had long disliked Nicole, especially Snow and Raine. They thought, ‘Now that Nicole has totally fallen out of favor with the old man, without the backing of our family, she won’t amount to much now.’

 

Chapter 168

Norah was pleased, but Daniel, Gloria, and Sean were all anxious. They wanted to say something to Mr. Riddle Sr., but he simply just waved them off. “No need to say anything else. This is Nicole’s own choice.”

After he had heard from the servants that Snow spoke with Harvey and helped the Riddle family, he was slightly more biased toward Snow. Recently, because of Nicole, he had been paying less attention to them, and it was probably time to take good notice of Snow now.

Hearing what Mr. Riddle Sr. had said, Damien frowned a little as he glanced silently at the latte. He felt that the old man was still more partial toward Nicole and that what the old man said was just out of anger.

At this moment, Miley’s phone suddenly vibrated as Chloe replied.

Miley immediately took out her phone. Chloe was her most valued daughter, and she had been pouring everything she had into Chloe. Chloe, too had never disappointed her before, as she was so brilliant it was blinding.

Chloe was not only impeccably beautiful, but her temperament, speech, and capabilities were also first- rate. She was proficient in everything from piano, chess, and the likes. Moreover, she was picked by a director at a very young age and embarked on the path to stardom she had laid out for her.

Chloe’s message was probably pinned, and when Miley picked up her phone and saw the message in it, she said elatedly, “Chloe said she has a chance to get the ambassadorship for JJ Johnston Group!”

As soon she said that, everyone looked at Damien’s household in surprise as a look of envy appeared on Dillon’s face.

Karen then said in disbelief, “Miley, what are you on about? Chloe is at most a second-line star. That is the JJ Johnston Group, you know. How did she get to be their brand ambassador?”

The JJ Johnston Group was the true leader of the business world. They had only come in from abroad three months ago and had already monopolized more than seventy percent of the domestic market resources. The group was so powerful that domestic businesses simply could not go against them

The leaders of this group were very mysterious, and their circle would never come into contact with them at all. With no dues present, they had no way to even try to flatter those people,

Yet, Chloe did the unthinkable and got her hands on the ambassadorship for ] Johnston Group!

Miley proudly lifted her chin without even giving Karen a glance. Her daughter was capable, and it could not be helped if Karen got jealous.

Mr. Riddle Sr.’s expression brightened somewhat as he looked at Miley in surprise. “Is it true?”

Miley nodded. “Father, you should know that Chloe will never say something she does not have confidence in. If she said there’s hope, that means it’s almost certain.”

The thought of Chloe actually giving her such a raise in prestige this time, Miley was extremely proud.

Damien had snapped back now. As he looked at his wife, the worries in his heart disappeared.

If Chloe could get the ambassadorship from JJ Johnston Group, then he had no need to be afraid of the influence of Snow and Harvey. After all, Chloe was no pushover either.

“Father, once Chloe comes back, we’ll get her to tell us all about the matter with JJ Johnston Group!”

Mr. Riddle Sr. also nodded. He did not expect Chloe to be so capable.

With both the daughters from his eldest and second son being so outstanding, Mr. Riddle Sr. turned his gaze toward Daniel

This son of his was weak since he was a child. His frailty aside, he too was unambitious, so Mr. Riddle Sr. did not pin any hope on him. Although Nicole knows Mr. Ellison, it was simply not enough

As he thought of this, Mr. Riddle Sr.’s expression turned a little gloomy. “Daniel, you should probably look after Nicole. Your brother’s children are developing well, and Nicole should also have something to show…”

However, before he could finish, the door was suddenly opened hurriedly by a servant.

With him being interrupted mid-speech, Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at the servant at the door with a displeased look. “What are you doing in such a panic?”

The servant could not be bothered with his anger as he quickly added, “Sir, people from the Rogers family are here!”

Chapter 169

Chapter 169 ‘WHAT?’

For a moment, Mr. Riddle Sr. thought he was hearing things, and so was the rest as they were stunned silly by that family name.

Dillon, too asked somewhat quizzically.

“Which Rogers family?”

‘Why would a top elite family like the Rogers personally come to visit our family?’

The servant wiped off the sweat from his forehead as he said. “There’s no other Rogers family in San Joto! Stop asking, sir. Please go out to receive them!”

As soon as they heard that, everyone was stunned, but Mr. Riddle Sr. reacted the fastest as he stood up with the help of his servant and hastened out with his walking stick in hand.

The others looked at each other for a few good seconds before Mr. Riddle Sr. yelled angrily.” What are you lot waiting for? Get out, now!”

With the Rogers family growing rapidly nowadays, they were not a family that an old-time family without any power like the Riddle family could afford to offend.

Five to six low-profile luxury cars were parked quietly outside the Riddle family manor. When Mr. Riddle Sr. saw the special license plates, he was sure that these were cars sent by the Rogers family.

Mr. Rogers Sr. was being helped out of the car by Shawn, and when Mr. Riddle Sr. saw that, he almost fainted

Even Damien, who rushed over, was stunned. Dillon and Dexter behind him did not actually know Mr. Rogers Sr. – Christo Rogers – and did not understand why their father and eldest brother was reacting

like that, but through their expressions, they could guess the identity of the people standing before them.

Mr. Riddle St. quickdy took a few steps forward as he said politely, “We didn’t know that you were coming, Christo, and we didn’t make any preparations…”

As he said that, he made an inviting gesture as he tried to lead Mr. Rogers Sr. into the manor,

Damien also quickly added. Mr. Rogers Sr., please come in.”

Mr. Rogers Sr. looked up and saw Mr. Riddle Sr, as he slowly smiled, “Benjamin, you sure know how to hide. How did I not know that your family is so capable?” Benjamin was Mr. Riddle Sr.’s first name.

He narrowed his slightly muddied eyes a little as he looked on inquisitively at Mr. Riddle Sr.

Mr. Riddle Sr. was stunned when he heard that. He looked at Mr. Rogers Sr. with a puzzled expression. Even his hand stopped moving. “Christo, what do you mean?”

Mr. Rogers Sr. had never spoken to him before and would not even deign to be bothered with him back then. For the former to speak with him with such an intimate tone, Mr. Riddle Sr. was, of course, a little flattered.

Shawn glanced at Mr. Riddle Sr. and noticed that the confusion on the latter’s face was not faked. He then lowered his head.

It seemed like it was the same as what Harvey had asked him to investigate. The Riddle family did not know anything about Nicole at all.

Otherwise, why would the Riddle family hide their relationship with Nicole?

Harvey had already deduced something from the conversation between Snow and Raine in the café the other day and got him to investigate the link between Nicole and the Riddle family. Sure enough, he

found some trails.

When Mr. Rogers Sr. asked him about Nicole, he told him about the entire thing without hesitation

However, Shawn totally did not expect that Nicole would have spent a long time in Great Oak.

He lowered his eyes a little, blocking the look in his eyes.

Seeing Mr. Riddle Sr.’s confused look, Mr. Rogers Sr, was unhappy the latter was playing coy as his expression tumed cold, “Benjamin, this is too much. You can hide her back then, but not now. Call her out, now.”

 

Chapter 170

Coming out of the car was the biggest respect that Mr. Rogers Sr. gave the Riddle family, and it was only because of Nicole that he continued to be so gentle. Otherwise, the Riddles would have never been qualified to speak with him.

He did not move and did not intend to enter the manor at all, as he only wanted to come and take Nicole away.

Mr. Riddle Sr. got even more confused as Dillon behind him interjected. “Mr. Rogers Sr., are you looking for Chloe? She is not here today…”

Everyone suddenly showed a look of understanding, and they were basically sure that Mr. Rogers Sr. was looking for Chloe.

It was because, in terms of possibility, only Chloe had any trace of connection with the Rogers family.

Although Miley was a daughter of the Rogers branch family, she was not outstanding, but her daughter was indeed much more valued by the branch family and was called over to stay with them often. So, they thought perhaps Mr. Rogers Sr. had met her then. That was the most definitive answer in the hearts of most of the Riddle family.

Miley, too thought of this, and she immediately looked at Mr. Rogers Sr., her eyes full of tension and anticipation.

If the main family really took a liking to the brilliant Chloe, then the lifelong dream of her parents would be completed.

The reason the branch family was abandoned by the main family was that they had crossed the Johnston family more than ten years ago.

Back then, they were the third household of the Rogers family and had now fallen to the rear end of the great families of San Joto. So, their biggest wish was to please the Johnston family and return to the Rogers family once again to live the high life.

If Chloe could accomplish this in advance, then it would be no different than striking the jackpot for Miley and the rest!

But the reality was fated to disappoint Miley as Mr. Rogers Sr. got even more confused when he heard the name “Chloe.”

“Who is Chloe?

Immediately after , a trace of impatience appeared on his old, weathered face. “Stop wasting time. Hand her over, now!”

Seeing that Mr. Rogers Sr.’s expression had turned grim, the Riddle family was so scared they dared not move. They did not expect the person he was looking for was not Chloe!

Mr. Riddle. Sr gritted his teeth as he said, “Christo, we have no idea who are you looking for. Please do tell.”

When Mr. Rogers Sr. heard that, he was about to lose his temper. He did not believe the drivel coming out of Mr. Riddle. Sr’s mouth and thought they just did not want to tell him where Nicole was, and his expression was somewhat menacing in an instant. ‘Anyone who dares to prevent me from living longer will pay the price!

After learning about Nicole’s connection to the Riddle family from Shawn, Mr. Rogers Sr. could not wait a moment longer. It was out of his status that he waited until night to come to the Riddle family manor, hoping that the Riddle family would give him a satisfactory response. Yet, the Riddle family dared to make a fool out of him!

Mr. Rogers Sr. looked on at Mr. Riddle Sr., a cold glint appearing in his eyes, and just as he was about to say something…

The Riddle family was ready to weather a storm of fury, and who knew that Shawn whispered a couple of things to the furious Mr. Rogers Sr., and he strangely calmed down.

Mr. Rogers Sr. looked at everyone in the Riddle family and calmly said, “Benjamin, is everyone in the Riddle family here today?”

Mr. Riddle Sr. nodded without fully comprehending. Aside from Chloe, everyone else was here.

Mr. Rogers Sr. finally gave Mr. Riddle Sr. a look with a half-smile before bursting out in laughter as he went back to the car. The high-performance cars immediately drove off, leaving the Riddle family a face full of exhaust fumes,

Everyone in the Riddle family looked on, stunned at this scene, not understanding what Mr. Rogers Sr. was up to.

‘He came lookdng for someone, and he left because our family was not able to hand that person over?’

Dillon then spat angrily. The Rogers family think they are big shots, aren’t they? What is this? Did they call us out just to humiliate us?”

Karen, too looked on angrily at the direction the Rogers family cars had left, a
