Ch. 1666..1670: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1666-1670
Chapter 1666
Lulu and June rolled their eyes at him.
'He just knew this? How dense could he be!?" "You're so thick in the head! Stop blabbering if you don't know crap." Bradley gave them an innocent stare in return.
"I-I was just guessing..." “Let's go, Nicole." June left the school with Nicole as she did not want to talk to Bradley anymore.
But Bradley was still confused as he thought, 'I'll never understand girls.’ Then, Nicole bade Lulu and June farewell before walking to the school entrance.
Meanwhile, Spencer and Samuel were already waiting for Nicole anxiously over there.
Nicole saw how worried they were and asked, "What happened?" Spencer gave Samuel a look of defeat.
"I have no idea.
Mom called us and she sounded very worried when she told us to take you back home once we're done with school.
I think it has something to do with Uncle Dillion..." Nicole immediately understood what was going on when she heard that; Karen had caused a scene.
Nicole did not expect Karen to be so shameless that she would complain to Mr. Riddle Sr.
"It's nothing.
Come on, let's go." Nicole said without elaborating any further and got into the car.
The brothers exchanged looks and got into the car as well.
After they had hurriedly taken a seat, Spencer had a hunch that Nicole knew something.
"Nicole, you look so calm.
You know something, don't you? What is so serious that we have to go home? 1 Nicole did not have anything to hide, so she said, "Raine got expelled." “Huh?! Why?" Spencer was shocked.
Samuel was stunned as well.
"The principal is friends with grandpa, and he was the one who got Raine into our school.
He wouldn't expel her, would he?" Nicole looked at them from the rear-view mirror.
"I was the one who made it happen." "What?!" Spencer's eyes widened.
"What happened?" Samuel quickly asked.
"Was Raine giving you a hard time again?" Nicole knew that they were concerned about her, but she did not say much.
"You'll know once we get home." "Okay, but if she dares to pick on you, I'll teach her a lesson myself!" Samuel declared.
“Same here," Spencer added through gritted teeth as well.
Nicole felt loved when she saw how protective her brothers were of her, but she was not one to be messed with either.
Their chauffeur arrived at the Riddle family manor in a short span of time, after which the three of them got off and walked into the house with the butler.
As soon as they stepped foot in the house, they could hear Karen whining.
"Dad! You've got to say something for us! Nicole has become very disrespectful now! She was threatening me and talking back to me in public! You have to do something about Raine being expelled too!" Mr. Riddle Sr.
was getting a headache from her moaning.
"That's enough.
I'll ask Nicole when she comes home."
Chapter 1667
At that moment, Nicole had already walked into the living hall." Grandpa, I'm home." Mr. Riddle Sr.
looked much calmer when he saw Nicole.
"Aw, you're back! Come, have a seat!" "Dad, how could you let this girl sit down?! She did such terrible things to Raine and I today! She deserves to stand on her feet as punishment!" Karen pointed at Nicole and scowled.
However, Nicole immediately sat down the moment she heard Karen saying that.
She looked at Karen with her chin up and asked, "Aunt Karen, can you please tell us what I did that was so terrible that grandpa has to punish me?" The arrogant look on her face seemed nothing like the sort of expression that a guilty soul would show.
Dillion was livid when he saw Nicole acting like that.
"Don't you know what you did?! You went to the principal's office to tell on Raine, didn't you?! You got her expelled!" Gloria and Daniel had not arrived yet, so when Spencer and Samuel saw how Dillion and Karen were ganging up on Nicole, they quickly defended her.
"Uncle Dillion, Aunt Karen, we still don't know what had happened yet.
You're both adults.
It's not appropriate to point your fingers at my sister like that, don't you think?" Dillion did not expect these kiddos to go against him, so he went off at Samuel.
"Shut it! Who are you?! How dare you talk back to me?!" Nicole's expression darkened when Dillion yelled at Samuel.
" Uncle Dillion, don't you think you're a hypocrite? You can be disrespectful and yell at us, but we aren't allowed to fight back?" "Disrespectful?!" Dillion glared at Nicole, desperately wanting to kill her.
Mr. Riddle Sr.
was not having it anymore.
"Okay, that's enough from all of you!" Dillion finally calmed down a little.
After all, they wanted Mr. Riddle Sr.
to be partial to them, so they could not afford to anger him.
Mr. Riddle Sr.
turned to Nicole when the situation had cooled down.
"Nicole, what happened exactly?" "Dad!" Karen yelled.
She had already told him everything when they came over, so she did not think that he would still give Nicole a chance to speak.
Nicole looked over at Karen and said, "J think Aunt Karen had already told you the story, but I don't know if she told you that Raine got expelled because she ordered two students to drop a flowerpot on me." Karen squinted as she already thought of what to say before she came.
"Stop exaggerating things here! Okay, even if Raine foolishly got someone to drop a flowerpot on you, you were still the one who had knocked her out with a volleyball first!" Raine began to throw a pity party upon hearing that.
Yeah, look, grandpa.
My pictures are still online too.
Nicole really did smash my face in with a volleyball." Mr. Riddle Sr.
looked at the picture where Raine was on the ground with her eyes at the back of her head.
Then, he quickly turned to Nicole in shock.
"Nicole, you really..." "Yeah, but it's normal to get hurt in competitions, isn't it? I didn't pick on Raine.
After all, she was the one who insisted that the teacher allowed us to get into volleyball match.
Can't bear losing now, can you?" Nicole argued.
"You're twisting the story! You were evidently picking on me!" Raine fought back angrily.
Nicole scoffed at her.
"Everyone who was present at that time can attest to the fact that you're the one who served the ball.
You're the one who was targeting me.
You directed the ball at me.
If you didn't, I wouldn't have struck back!" “Why you!" Raine's face turned pale.
She did not expect Nicole to be so good at arguing! She felt that Nicole had just been playing dumb in the past.
Karen gritted her teeth when she saw that her daughter had been defeated in that argument.
"Well, you still played foul! Even if Raine did impulsively get someone to throw a flowerpot at you, you're still standing here all fine, aren't you?! How could you run to Mr. Ellison and get your cousin expelled?!" Nicole scoffed.
Who said that I wasn't injured?" She immediately pulled her collar open and exposed a worrying bruise.
"If this isn't an injury, then what is?!"
Chapter 1668
Karen and Dillion were stumped.
Though Nicole had mentioned that she was hurt, she did not show anyone the injury in the principal's office, so they all thought that the injury was minor.
None of them knew that Nicole was so badly hurt.
At that moment, Mr. Riddle Sr.
decided that he could not bear to watch any further.
Raine, what do you have to say for yourself?!" The moment her grandfather yelled at her, Raine immediately knelt down.
'G-Grandpa..." She herself was not aware that Nicole was suffering such a serious injury as the latter still looked fine and dandy.
She was able to argue her case with much conviction too.
Karen's heart broke the instant she saw her daughter kneeling down.
"Dad, Raine didn't know that Nicole was so badly injured...
Please forgive her..." “Did grandpa not forgive her, or were you and your daughter just trying to argue about who's right and who is wrong, Aunt Karen?" Nicole scoffed.
'Now you're backing down? Too little too late!’ Mr. Riddle Sr.
had lost all his patience for Raine as well.
"You're in the wrong, yet you still came here to whine? How did your parents raise you?!" In a single sentence, Mr. Riddle Sr.
had lectured Raine and humiliated both Dillion and Karen! It was as if he was saying that Raine was not raised right.
Karen's grimace turned ugly, but she still held her tongue.
After all, she still needed Mr. Riddle Sr.'s help.
"Dad, I admit that I have not taught her well, but you can't just sit and watch as your granddaughter get expelled, right?"' Karen gritted her teeth.
She just wanted Mr. Riddle Sr.
to help Raine out.
Unfortunately for her, Nicole saw through her act.
"Aunt Karen, hasn't Mr. Ellison made it clear? A student like Raine would only tarnish our school's name! Do you really want her to stay in school and embarrass our family?" "Nicole, you better shut it!" Dillion yelled, knowing that Nicole did not want Raine to attend the Royal Creek Institute anymore.
‘This damned gir] is just too evil!" he thought.
"I sure can, but this is a fact.
You can't just get grandpa to talk to Mr. Ellison, can you? If this goes out to the public, grandpa is going to be humiliated! People would think that our family is making things difficult for Mr. Ellison!" Nicole argued.
Nicole's words reached into Mr. Riddle Sr.'s heart.
‘Yeah, the Riddle family is not the same anymore.
We're making a name for ourselves now, so people will definitely think that 1am pushing Mr. Ellison to a corner if I go and talk to him!' It was then that Mr. Riddle Sr.
made up his mind.
"This is settled then! I will not consult Mr. Ellison.
She should face the consequence of her own actions! Get someone to find her another school!" "Dad!!!" Karen was stunned, unable to comprehend how Nicole could make Mr. Riddle Sr.
give up on Raine with just a few words.
"Grandpa, no! If I get expelled, no schools in San Joto would accept me!" Raine cried.
It was an ultimate embarrassment to be kicked out of Royal Creek Institute, so no prestigious school in San Joto would accept her anymore.
Nicole saw that Raine was already sobbing, but she still said ina cold voice, "Hey, if you knew this would happen, why would you even do that in the first place? At the end of the day, you put yourself in this situation.
You're an adult, so it’s time for you to face the consequences yourself now." Mr. Riddle Sr.
immediately stood up after Nicole said that.
" Consider this settled! If no schools in San Joto would take you, just go to some second-tier cities!" "Grandpa!" Raine was stunned, for she did not expect her grandfather, who used to be so proud of her and her sister, to be so cruel to her! She quickly grabbed Mr. Riddle Sr.
by the foot when he was about to walk away.
However, Mr. Riddle Sr.
was already able to elude her.
"Get lost!" He roared and headed upstairs.
Spencer and Samuel were extremely relieved when they saw this unfold! 'How dare she hurt Nicole?! She deserves it!' At that moment, Karen already knew that despair was all that awaited her daughter, so all she could do was glare at Nicole furiously.
Chapter 1669
"Nicole Riddle! I'm going to kill you!" Karen shrieked.
However, before she could dash to Nicole, Samuel blocked her by pushing her away.
"Watch yourself, Aunt Karen!" Samuel was strong.
Though he was just 20 years old, he was a foot taller than Karen, and so, Karen immediately staggered when he shoved her.
"Darling!" Thankfully, Dillion managed to catch his wife in time.
It was the first time Karen was treated like this in the Riddle family, and therefore, she glared at Samuel angrily.
"You! How dare you push me?!" Nicole did not think that Samuel would protect her too.
She then stood in front of Karen.
Though Karen could never hurt Nicole one bit, Samuel's actions warmed Nicole's heart.
"So what if I did? With me around here, no one can hurt my sister! " he argued.
Raine's act of hurting Nicole had already left Samuel's heart broken.
Now, if Karen would do so too, he would not tolerate it.
"You're asking for it at this point!" Dillion's blood boiled as he raised his arm, ready to hit Samuel.
But before he could do so, Spencer grabbed his hand.
"Uncle Dillion, my sister got hurt because of your daughter.
Grandpa was already kind enough to not punish your family, and yet, you still wish to hit Samuel? Do you really want me to get grandpa down here again?" Spencer was not an impulsive guy, and his eyes were filled with dignity.
This made Dillion calm down a little.
In addition, Mr. Riddle Sr.
was furious enough today.
If Spencer really did get him to come down again, Dillion would be on the receiving end of a lecture.
His position in their company was already unstable, so he absolutely could not attempt to raise the ire of Mr. Riddle Sr.
So, he threw Spencer's hand away and grinded his teeth.
"Good! Daniel thinks he's so powerful in this family now, huh? You don't even respect your uncle anymore! Just you wait!" He was about to leave when he helped his wife up after he had thrown Nicole and her brothers that spiteful remark.
Before he walked off, he whirled around to glare at Raine, who was still kneeling on the ground.
"What are you still doing there?! Do you want to embarrass yourself further?!" Raine then wiped her tears and hobbled off in sorrow.
The butler went up to Nicole and her brothers after that difficult family had left.
"Young masters, are you going to stay for dinner?" The butler believed that Mr. Riddle Sr.
would love to be with them.
After all, Mr. Riddle Sr.
loved Daniel's family the most now.
"That's alright, our parents are still waiting for us at home." Samuel shook his head as he wanted to go home as soon as possible.
"Okay, I'll pass this on to Mr. Riddle Sr.," the butler said respectfully.
"Sure, we'll make a move now then." Spencer smiled and left the place with Nicole and Samuel.
The trio breathed a sigh of relief once they had stepped out of the manor.
"Raine is so shameless! How could she still come here and whine about it? If I were here, I'd be too embarrassed to even show up!" Spencer said angrily while he opened the car door for Nicole.
Samuel scoffed.
"She has always been this ridiculous.
Oh, but Snow didn't come over today." Nicole smirked.
After all, the smartest person in Dillion's family was Snow.
Snow knew that she was going to be lectured, so she would never even bother to show up, even if she had to pretend that she was sick.
Chapter 1670
"Let's go home.
Mom and dad are probably worried about Nicole," Spencer softly said as they got into the car.
When they had arrived back home, they realized that their whole family was in the living room, as if they were waiting in anticipation for any updates.
Gloria immediately stood up when she saw Nicole walking in.
" Nicole, Samuel, and Spencer.
Are you all okay? Did Dillion make things difficult for you?" Nicole quickly smiled when she saw Gloria's worried look.
She comforted her and said, "No, grandpa protected us.
We came back right after it was over." Seeing that Nicole was not lying, Daniel was relieved.
"So, what happened? Why did Dillion go to your grandpa?" They wanted to make their way to Mr. Riddle Sr.'s manor as well, but as Mr. Riddle Sr.
had only requested Nicole's presence, they were worried that Nicole was going to get bullied.
Nicole wanted to get it over with by giving them a brief explanation.
However, Samuel was not able to hold it in.
"It's all because of that vicious vixen, Raine! She caused a mess, and yet, she pointed her fingers at Nicole.
She even got Uncle Dillion to talk to grandpa! "W "Raine?" Gloria quickly turned to Nicole when she heard that Raine was involved.
"Did she bully you in school?" Raine and Snow never got along with Nicole, and Sean had told them about Raine's wrongdoings in school as well.
That was why Gloria was worried that they had bullied Nicole in school.
"It's fine.
Raine has already been expelled by Mr. Ellison, so she won't be finding trouble with me anymore." "Expelled?!" Everyone's eyes widened.
Daniel was very shocked too.
"No wonder your uncle was ina rush to see your grandpa..." This is a major issue within the family.
All of the Riddle children were studying in Royal Creek Institute, which was the best school in San Joto.
Raine and Snow had gone through a great deal to get themselves enrolled into that school, just for Raine to be expelled now.
‘Dillion must be going crazy now.
I guess he'd probably want to sever ties with me after this,’ Daniel thought.
"She deserves to be expelled! She hurt Nicole in school! A vile person like her shouldn't even stay in our family!" Samuel was livid.
"Samuel..." Nicole wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.
Gloria's eyes immediately widened when she heard that Nicole was hurt.
"You're hurt?! Where? Let me have a look!" "I'm fine, mom..." Nicole said in defeat.
“You're fine? No, your shoulders are badly injured! How could you just keep quiet about it? If they didn't go to grandpa's place today, you probably wouldn't even bother to tell us about it, right?" Spencer protested with a look of concern.
When Gloria heard that Nicole's shoulders were injured, she quickly pulled her collar aside and checked.
Though the swelling had subsided, the bruising was still rather glaring.
"Gosh...
How could you say that it doesn't hurt when you're injured so badly?" Her eyes immediately started to water.
"Raine is just too much! How could she do such a thing?!" Daniel became really angry when he saw that his daughter had been bruised.
"Dillion is ridiculous! How could he blame Nicole after Raine had done such a terrible thing?!" Stanley was furious too.
"How did grandpa go about this? Did he just dismiss it?" Spencer sighed.
"Aunt Karen went to see grandpa because she wanted to accuse Nicole and get grandpa to help Raine back into Royal Creek Institute.
But grandpa said that this was the consequence of Raine's actions, so he won't be doing anything about this.
About Nicole's injury though...
Grandpa didn't do anything to punish Raine..." "Ridiculous!" Steve's expression darkened.
“Even if Raine had been expelled, we couldn't just let this slide!" Sean's gaze darkened as well, and he thought to himself before saying, "Leave this to me.
I believe Uncle Dillion wouldn't just stop here.
We might as well just...
go all out."
