Ch. 1711..1715: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1711-1715
Chapter 1711
Nicole's heart skipped a beat when she felt her lips brushing against Jared's sexy lips.
"Bye now!" Nicole spun around.
Jared smiled with satisfaction as he watched her leave.
Then, Max stood before him and said, "Mr. Johnston, Miss Nicole found a few fingerprints last night, and I've identified two of them..."
Jared's eyes darkened. "Get every single one of those scums."
"Yes, sir." Max nodded, knowing that both Jared and Nicole meant business this time.
Nicole arrived at school just then, but her brothers were already waiting for her.
"Nicole, why didn't you come home yesterday?" Samuel looked at
Nicole with a worried expression on his face.
In reply, Nicole whispered, "Jared got into some trouble, so I had to take care of him."
Spencer then looked at Samuel. "See, I knew it. Dad and Mom definitely got a call from Nicole. That's why they weren't worried."
Samuel flashed them a look of embarrassment. "Nicole, do give me a call next time if you're not coming back home. Otherwise, I'll be worried too."
Nicole shot him a glance with resignation, knowing that Samuel was a nervous wreck. "Fine."
Then, they sauntered into their school together, bumping into Ryder in front of one of the buildings.
Ryder was surrounded by a few seniors. Though he looked sharp, the dark circles under his eyes were heavy. It was obvious that he had pulled an all-nighter last night.
Spencer and Samuel immediately thought about the rumor that they had heard yesterday the instant they saw that Ryder had gotten a bunch of people to block their way. 'I think Nicole hacked
Ryder's laptop. Is he looking to get back at us now?"
With that in mind, Spencer and Samuel immediately stood before Nicole. "Ryder! Why did you get so many people to stop my sister from entering her class?"
In response, Ryder yelled, "Why?! You should ask your sister that question!"
He had attempted to crack Nicole's virus throughout the night but to no avail. His laptop was practically useless to him now, and the virus had corrupted much of the files on his computer as well, costing him millions.
Nicole looked at him nonchalantly. "Hmm? You don't have what it takes? So, it's fine for you to create a virus for us to crack, but it's not okay when I do it to you?"
Ryder was stunned for a bit as Nicole had made it sound like he was A sore loser. "That's not true!"
He then tried to defend himself by saying, "I created a virus for you to crack, and it's all done on the school's computers. But you hacked my laptop, and there are a lot of things in there! Do you know how much trouble you've given me?"
His company's project was still sitting on his laptop as he did not have the time to work on it. 'Nicole is truly evil!’
Nicole went on to scoff at that remark. "So, what you're saying is that you can't crack the homework that I've sent you, right?"
Nicole's smug expression infuriated Ryder even further. Still, he could not deny that he was not capable of wiping the virus, and so, through gritted teeth, he said, "Yes! I spent the whole night cracking it, but I just can't! You're a pro! Are you happy now?!
"Ryder's friends were shocked when they heard him. Ryder had always been prideful in school and had never lowered himself before anyone. Besides, Nicole was their junior.
"Are you alright, Ryder?" his friends asked. "Do you want us to teach her a lesson?"
Ryder rolled his eyes at them. He had only called them over to give
Nicole a little scare, so he had no reason to hurt her. In addition, he did not wish to get expelled.
Then, he clenched his jaw and said to Nicole, "I'm asking you how we're going to go about this now! The stuff in my laptop are worth millions! How are you going to pay me back?!"
He just wanted to resolve this issue as soon as possible.
Nicole mustered a charming smile when she saw the look of anxiety on his face. "Oh, so you're just worried about the documents? Easy then. As long as you crack the virus, your laptop will be as good as new!"
"You don't say?! Would I even come to you if I could do that?!" he roared.
‘She's doing this on purpose, isn't she?! ' he thought.
Chapter 1712
Nicole then smirked. Then you've found the right person. You can't crack it, but I can."
Nicole managed to stun Ryder through that remark, as most people would not be able to crack the virus they had created.
'This girl can develop a virus and crack it herself?! Isn't it a virus code that she had casually made yesterday?"
That was the moment Ryder realized that he might have underestimated Nicole.
'Who is this girl?!' Unable to help it, he asked, "You can crack it?" Nicole laughed.
"Obviously. Ever heard of the saying, 'we should always solve the problems we create’? I created the virus, so naturally, I should be able to crack it. Don't you think so?"
However, her response served to embarrass Ryder even further.
' She can crack her own virus, but as a senior, I failed to do that even after staying up all night.How can I even call myself San Joto's computer expert?’ He desperately wanted to push Nicole aside and leave. He did not want to give her the satisfaction, and he did not wish to subject himself to further humiliation either. Still, he could only give in when he thought about the expensive data on his laptop.
"Well, send me the antivirus software!"
Ryder then extended his arm before her like a tyrant.
Nicole looked at his palm and responded, "Are you begging for my help?"
Ryder was stunned.
"Who's begging you?!"
"No? Are you asking for a favor, then?" Nicole sneered.
"I'm not that kind..."
Ryder was livid when he saw how b*tchy Nicole was being.
"What are you trying to say?"
"What I'm trying to say is that I might be able to lend you the antivirus software if you beg me for it. Asking for it as if it's a favor just won't cut it."
Nicole was about to walk past Ryder.
Ryder's eyes widened.
'The temerity she has to dismiss me and ask me to beg her for help!'
"Stop right there!"
Ryder reached out, attempting to grab her by the arm.
Unfortunately for him, Nicole turned and dodged his grapple before sticking her foot out to trip him.
Ryder immediately fell onto the ground with a loud thud.
"Ryder!"
His friends quickly rushed over to help him up.
However, Ryder had already injured his nose as blood began to cascade down his nostrils.
"Sh*t! You tripped me!"
Ryder had never been treated like that in school before, so he felt extremely humiliated.
The people around them covered their mouths as they laughed because they had never seen Ryder being caught in such an embarrassing situation before.
Nicole looked down at her watch and swept her glance across Samuel and Spencer, who turned a blind eye to what she did.
"Class is starting soon.Let's go."
Samuel and Spencer stifled their laughter when they witnessed Ryder's sorry state of affairs.
"Sure, let's go."
Ryder got up with the help of his friends before he pointed at Nicole angrily.
"You'll remember this day, Nicole!"
Nicole, on the other hand, found it funny when she heard Ryder's whining.
Then, Samuel and Spencer walked her to her class.
When she entered her class, she saw Gary by the window, resting his forehead on his palm.
Gary looked in Nicole's direction as a wave of headache struck him.
As she was passing him, she asked, "Yes? Do you feel sorry for your brother?"
He shook his head.
"Nah, I'm just sad that he overreached himself."
Chapter 1713
Gary thought that his brother was exactly just like his past self.
' He's really underestimated her.
Look at her.
She even picked a fight with him.' Gary had a little background in martial arts, and yet, he was still afraid of Nicole.
Ryder, on the other hand, had only focused on coding, and so, he did not have any experience when it came to martial arts at all.
'Of course he'd get tripped..."
Nicole placed her bag down and looked at Gary with an arched brow.She had started to find him more pleasant these days.
"I can't believe that you don't feel sorry for your brother." He scoffed.
"He used to hit me a lot when we were younger, so why would I feel sorry for him?"
Nicole found it interesting as she took a seat.
Yet, Gary still went up to her and asked, "But can you really destroy that virus? Does that mean that my brother's laptop can still be fixed?"
"I thought you didn't feel sorry for him.Why do you ask?"
Nicole furrowed her brows.
Giving an honest opinion of his brother, Gary stated, "I just feel sorry for the data on his laptop.Actually, my brother is pretty good.He has a lot of inventions in his laptop, and they will definitely benefit society if they get launched in the future."
After thinking about it, Nicole said, "Well, it depends on his attitude now.I've never really liked being threatened."
Gary instantly understood what she meant; Nicole just wanted Ryder to display some integrity.
After all, Ryder was a little too arrogant for his own good when he was giving Nicole tasks yesterday, and now he suffered the consequence.
"Got it.If he asks me, I'll lead him to the right path."
Gary chuckled as he now had a hold over his brother.
The day went on without any issues, and in the afternoon, the student union held a meeting.
Nicole took her stuff and strutted off to the student union.
Stanley was busy with the company and had to proceed with his internship sooner, so it was said that he had already left the student union.
Nicole did not wish to attend the meeting as her brother was not going to be there, but it was the first meeting, the purpose of which was to elect the new president.
Thus, as one of the voters, she had to be there.
But Harvey sitting at the president's seat when she entered the student union's meeting room was what she did not see coming.
Her brows tightened as soon as she saw him.
‘As the principal's grandson, this guy didn't even join the election to avoid any unnecessary disputes, but once Stanley is gone, he actually sat at the president's seat?! What the heck?' she thought.
Harvey remained seated when he saw Nicole.
''Take a seat."
And thus, Nicole sat down quietly.
Edwin quickly went up to Nicole's seat and whispered, "Stanley rarely comes to school these days.The student union needs a person in charge, so Harvey is going to conduct the meeting for today."
Nicole nodded as she thought, 'Ah, so he's just filling in.
Never mind then.' After some time, more people came in, and Harvey commenced the meeting.
"The purpose of today's meeting is to elect anew president of the student union.Please submit your names if you wish to join the election campaign."
There were people who could not wait to be crowned as president, so they immediately raised their hands after Harvey had made that statement.
But it was then that Harvey flashed them a smile and proceeded to write his name on the board.
"For your information, I'll be one of the contenders this time."
Everyone fell silent after he had said that.
The people who raised their hands gradually lowered their hands, feeling utterly perplexed by that gesture, If Harvey wanted to run for president, what was the point of them joining the election campaign anyway? He was the principal's grandson.
If he did not wish to give his presidential position up, who would dare to argue with him? As expected, when Harvey turned around to face the crowd once more, no one was raising their hands anymore.
"Huh? No one's joining?"
Harvey looked at them and asked, even though he already knew why.He placed both of his hands on the desk and glanced at everyone.
"Don't mind me.Just raise your hand if you want to.After all, all of you have the right to vote."
Harvey was smiling, but his eyes were ice cold.
Chapter 1714
Nicole looked at Harvey's smile and knew that he no longer wanted to act as though he was a goody two shoes.
This was who he truly was.
‘But why does he want to be the president?' she asked herself.
Nicole was annoyed when she thought about the things that Harvey would do to her once he was elected as the president.
Then, she stood up, not caring if the other people wanted to join the election or not.
"I'll be contending too."
Her act of standing up shocked everyone.
The older students looked at her with their foreheads creased.
"The student union's president has always been a university student.A high-schooler has never been one of the candidates..."
Nicole looked at them and with much pride in her tone, she said, "The rules are set by people.It's fine as long as 1 am capable, don't you think so? Besides, the former president is my brother.Won't it be easier for him to work with me?"
The room was dead silent after she had said that.
‘She's right.Stanley is Nicole's brother.Even if he doesn't show up anymore, Nicole will be seeing him when she goes home every day.
Naturally, things will run smoothly with her since she has Stanley to guide her,' one of them pondered.
‘This is definitely a bonus point.
Nicole being president will reduce the possibility of us having our responsibilities doubled just to accommodate the new president.' Harvey did not expect the quiet Nicole to run for president, so his eyes were filled with joy.
"Sure.Since I'm running the meeting today, I'll agree with Nicole Riddle being one of the candidates.What about the rest of you? Anyone else wants to join in?"
Harvey's tone made everyone nervous.
Even if they wanted to, no one would dare to respond because of his tone.
‘He's too intimidating...Hence, they could only give Harvey a subtle gesture to show that that they did not want to join anymore.
Seeing that no one was raising their hands anymore, Harvey smiled.
"Okay.If that's the case, let's start voting.It's Nicole versus me.Please cast your vote."
He believed that no one would dare to not vote for him as he was the principal's grandson.
Nicole laughed.
"Hey, don't we need to make a speech before the election?"
Harvey looked at Nicole with a frivolous gaze.
"There's no need for that.They can just vote now.I believe in their judgment."
Nicole stood up.
"Well then, I hope everyone can vote fairly.Don't vote for someone just because of their status.I suggest we vote anonymously, what does everyone think?"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"I agree!"
Edwin was the first to support Nicole, causing Harvey to roll his eyes.
'Does this guy know who his friend is?"
Edwin only realized what he had done and bit his tongue when Harvey glared at him...
But the rest of them were sold, and began vocalizing their support for Nicole.
"We agree with Nicole too."
After all, Nicole was a hot topic in school now, and no one would dare to offend her.
Edwin then took the voting box and distributed papers to every member of the council for them to fill in their votes.
At that moment, Nicole stood up and looked at them.
"Mr.Ellison has always been a just man and he has been nothing but friendly to me.So, no matter whom you vote for, he will understand.Please don't bring any personal emotions into this when you vote.Besides, if I am nominated as president, I will maintain my brother's standards, and I promise that I won't be making too many changes to your responsibilities."
She believed that no one wanted their positions and their job scope to change, so this was her promise to them.
When the members heard her, they immediately leaned toward her.
Chapter 1715
But Harvey looked at her with a sneer.
"Nicole is really going all out to be nominated as president."
Nicole glanced over at him.
"Well, it's definitely better than some creepy guy who throws his weight around."
Harvey knew that Nicole was talking about him.
His expression turned even darker, but his smile, which was exceedingly intimidating, remained.
However, everyone could already relate to Nicole after she had delivered that speech.
'If Harvey becomes president, he's going to talk to us like this all the time...' Then, their hearts settled, and they made their decision.
Edwin then started counting the votes and soon, the results were clear: 60% of the members had voted for Nicole.
Harvey's face darkened for a split second when he saw the voting results on the board, but his expression was soon replaced with fascination.
"Not bad, not bad indeed...Since that's what you want, Nicole is now the president of the student union."
‘Seems like there are a lot of people who are afraid of me,' he thought.
But Nicole was not afraid of Harvey at all, as she immediately walked up to the president's seat and said, "Well then, excuse me, interim president."
Nicole looked down at him, stunning him for a second.He then got so angry that he could only laugh.
"Nice, real nice..."
‘Nicole sure knows how to break someone's heart,' he fumed.
Then, Harvey walked out of the meeting room with frustration, not wanting to attend the meeting anymore.
"I-I'll go after him!"
Edwin quickly went to check on him.
Nicole, who was unbothered, then turned to thank the members.
During the meeting, she expressed that the status quo would remain and that nothing would be changed.
As soon as they heard that, they were over the moon.
Harvey was the only one who was upset.
He stormed off to the lake in the campus and threw a rock into the lake in rage.
"ARGH!"
he yelled in an attempt to release his pent-up emotions.
Soon, Edwin hurried up to him.
"Harvey! It's just a presidential position! It's not worth it! I thought you couldn't care less about this last time!"
Harvey suddenly turned and glared at him, and with that gaze, Edwin felt like he had never really known Harvey at all.
"Why are you looking at me like that...? It's scary."But Harvey could not be bothered to hide the frustration in his eyes.
"I was, but now, I want everything.I don't want to lose to anyone."
Besides, if he became the president, he could proudly spend more time with Nicole and make her join more student union activities.
However, it seemed that Nicole had figured it all out already, which was why she had fought for it.He just did not expect things to turn out this way, since he had the upper hand prior to that.
‘Why did so many people vote for Nicole?" he asked himself.
"Why didn't you say so? I thought you didn't care about it by the look on your face..."
Edwin looked at Harvey awkwardly.
"So? Who did you vote for?"
Harvey's eyes turned dark.
Edwin was stunned.
"I...voted for Nicole."
He thought Harvey did not care about it at all.
Besides, he owed Nicole a favor, and so, he...
"Even you chose Nicole?"
Harvey blew his top.
"Edwin, did you forget who your friend is?"
The only person he had ever bothered to acknowledge was Edwin, but as it turned out, even Edwin had betrayed him.
