Ch. 1721..1725: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1721-1725

Chapter 1721

"You've never thought of targeting them, but you didn't think letting them have allowed them to get stronger? Now even we are being affected by that!" Dillon growled. "What do you plan to do about this? My project got taken away by the Fisher family and I've lost close to a million! Damien lost even more."

When Dillon said that, he did not forget to use Damien as ammunition as well.

Seeing that the two were clearly here to cause trouble, Sean hissed somewhat angrily, "There's always ups and downs in business. My father hadn't anticipated this and you're now pushing the blame on him, Uncle Dillon?"

When Dillon heard that, he blew his top. "What do you mean by that? You're saying I'm pushing my responsibility to him?"

Karen, who had followed Dillon here, initially did not want to speak, but seeing that her husband was on the back foot, she could not help but interject. "Who's actually pushing their responsibility aside is still up in the air! If you two weren't butting heads with the

Fisher family, we wouldn't have been affected by your conflict! In the end, it's all your fault!"

When she saw Karen pointing her finger at her father and brother, berating them, Nicole walked up and hissed, "Your mouth sure is something, Aunt Karen. Turning facts upside down with just a few words, shifting your own incompetence as other's faults."

The moment Nicole spoke, everyone immediately turned to look at her.

When Mr. Riddle Sr. saw Nicole, his eyes widened. “Nicole, you're back."

"Yes." Nicole nodded before saying to Mr. Riddle Sr., "Grandpa, who brought you here today? For someone to disturb your rest over something so trivial repeatedly, I wonder what that person's thinking.”

In a sentence, Nicole had managed to paint Karen's excuse as being totally unreasonable.

Mr. Riddle Sr. too was annoyed as he rumbled, "It's your Uncle Dillon and Aunt Karen who brought me here themselves."

Upon hearing what Mr. Riddle Sr. had to say, Dillon quickly chimed in. "Dad, this isn't some trivial matter. Of course I needed to bring you here."

"Yes, this girl has no idea how to do business. How can losing a million-dollar business be something trivial?" Karen panicked too. Nicole immediately looked up and glared at Karen.

And seeing that glare, Karen immediately shut up.

Nicole looked at her icily before turning to her father and eldest brother. "Dad, Sean, what's the projected profit during this business quarter?"

Sean was taken aback by the question. Nicole had never asked about the number, so why was she asking this now?

Although he was confused, he still trusted Nicole and answered honestly. "The projected profit for our current projects is about a billion, five times more than the Riddle Corporation's previous financial year profit."

Nicole immediately raised her eyebrow. "You heard that, Grandpa?

The corporation is already earning about a billion in profit. There are always wins and losses in the field of business. We've already won a billion, so why care about that lost million?

The moment she said that, Mr. Riddle Sr. felt very relieved inside. " You're right. The Riddle Corporation's fortune is unlike ever before, and I'm very satisfied with it."

As he said that, Mr. Riddle Sr. turned to Damien and Dillon. " Damien, Dillon, let it go. Don't dwell too much on the losses."

Seeing that Mr. Riddle Sr. was about to dismiss this matter as trivial, Karen was the first to panic.

"Don't dwell on it? Why? Why can their projects profit while ours take a beating? Dad! Dillon has given so much to the company. Youneed to speak up for him!"

Noticing that Karen was unwilling to let go, Mr. Riddle Sr. was a little displeased.

Nicole sneered and decided to do away with any pleasantries. "I'm curious as well about your question, Aunt Karen. Why are the projects managed by my father and brothers making a profit while both Uncle Dillon and Uncle Damien's projects are making a loss? You said they've put in so much work, but where are the results?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone was stunned into silence.

No one had expected Nicole to latch onto the loophole in Karen's words and turned it against her!

Chapter 1722

Immediately, everyone realized that Nicole had a point!

‘Yeah, they suffered losses because of their own incompetence, and now they're blaming it on us?’

Damien noticed his name being dragged into the mud and could not stay silent. He said coldly, "Nicole, you don't understand what's going on in the company. The Fisher family had recently contacted our partners leading to their turn. And all in all, the one in conflict with the Fisher family is your family, and both your

Uncle Dillon and I suffered collateral damage. This you can't deny."

When Damien put it that way, Dillon poured more fuel into the fire.

"Damien's right. If you didn't make enemies out of the Fisher family, our projects would've been intact! Why are your family's issues affecting us?"

As soon as those words came out, Nicole's eyes turned dark as her entire aura caused the air in the room to turn icy.

Sensing that Nicole was displeased, Mr. Riddle Sr. could only sigh. "

Enough. What are you arguing for? You're all brothers. What, you lot want to split the family up now?"

Those words reminded Nicole of something as she broke into a smile. "Uncle Damien and Uncle Dillon have been going on and on about 'your family’. They've already drawn such a clear line that the family should split."

When Damien and Dillon heard that, they sensed something was not right, but before they could even react, Nicole let out a contemptuous sneer. "It so happens that I too think it's unfair. My father and brothers are putting in the most time and effort into all of these projects we have now, yet Uncle Damien and Uncle Dillon are still collecting their share dividends as usual, and we even have to share in their losses. So, we might as well split the family up!"

Her voice thundered across the room.

And both Damien and Dillon felt like they had been struck by lightning.

None of them expected this. They had only wanted to use this as a pretext to get something out of Daniel, but they ended up pissing off Nicole and she now wanted to split the family up!

Although they too had been in the Riddle Corporation over these years, the dividends were only a few million each. This year's profit was five to six times that of the previous year, and it may even rise to ten times by year's end. And this girl was now talking about splitting the family up?! Wouldn't they lose out on a lot?

"We... We didn't mean that..." Dillon felt a tinge of guilt and wanted to back out on his words.

Yet, Nicole continued, "You didn't mean that? Then why are you two trying to find fault here? So what now? Hounding us when there's a problem, and you want a share of my father and brother's hard- earned profit at year's end too?"

Being seen through like that, Karen lost all standing so she could only try to shout Nicole down. "What nonsense are you babbling about? Is this how you speak to your elders? Remember that when Daniel didn't work at the company, it was your Uncle Damien and

Uncle Dillon who kept him fed!"

When that was said, Steve could no longer hold back. "If I remember correctly, when Uncle Damien and Uncle Dillon had many projects at hand, not all of the profits went into the company's coffers right? The dividend my father had gotten was no more than two million, and did we make a sound back then? Now that our profit's in the billions, I don't think you don't know how much you'd get."

"Uncle Damien, Uncle Dillon, this is way overboard!" Sean stared at them, the flames of anger burning in his eyes.

Seeing that Daniel's entire family was angry, Damien could not help but soften his tone.

"This is the company's system. I also admit that it's Daniel's family who's working hard for the company right now, but I don't agree in splitting the family up. We're a family after all." Damien tried to readjust his position and appear righteous.

Nicole, however, snorted coldly. ''So we're a family now? Too late for that, Uncle Damien.”

When she said the last four words, a sudden chill descended upon everyone.

Chapter 1723

It was especially true for Damien and Dillon. Dexter, who had been listening by the side and not speaking, had no intention to participate in this skirmish. But when he heard about splitting the family up, it was a huge matter and he could not help but stand up.

"Nicole, you're still young, you must be calm when dealing with trouble..."

Nicole looked at Dexter. The latter's family was always fair toward her family and had never bullied her parents, but there were some things that even they could not help.

Nicole lowered her tone as she looked at Dexter. "I won't force you if you don't want to split up, Uncle Dexter, but today, I'll represent my parents in asking to split away from Uncle Damien and Uncle Dillon. Each family shall only deal and profit from their projects, and no longer have anything to do with one another henceforth."

Mr. Riddle Sr. was slightly taken aback. He never thought that this little girl could be so stubborn and decide upon such an important matter just like that!

He had lived for so many years now and this was the first time he felt that his position as head of the Riddle family was just for show!

Yet, Nicole was now the wielder of the Fire Crest, and all of the family's businesses increased because of her, so, no matter how she wanted to allocate things, he was powerless to stop her.

Seeing Mr. Riddle Sr. keeping quiet, Karen got anxious. "Dad! You're the head of the house! Nicole is literally stepping all over you! You can't just listen to her like that!"

But Mr. Riddle Sr. only felt worn out when he looked at Karen. "I've already given Nicole my shares. Moreover, the company's being managed by Daniel and Sean right now. So, I'll leave the call to them."

His heart knew very well that when Damien and Dillon were managing the company, Daniel never once took more than what he was entitled. Even when he had shares, Daniel never took the full amount of dividends due to his guilty conscience.

Now that the tables had turned, Damien and Dillon wanted to take advantage of him. He could not turn a blind eye to this.

"Dad!" Karen was completely flabbergasted. She totally did not expect the old man to leave them to their own devices just like that!

"Dad, you can't do this..." Damien did not expect this either. He had thought that he had the upper hand and to end up like this, even the image of calmness that he had cultivated for so many years quickly came apart.

Nicole saw that Mr. Riddle Sr. was conflicted and yet, he still handed her the right to make the decision. She took a deep breath.

She was still very grateful for his love for her, but if she were to soften her stance now, it would only serve to give Damien and Dillon more opportunities to cause trouble in the future.

So, she decided to get rid of the root of the problem. "Don't worry, Uncle Damien, Uncle Dillon. Since you said that today's issue was because of us, then we'll take over all of the loss-making projects and hereinafter, any losses will be borne by us. We'll pay you your fair share according to the original agreements signed with the partners. But similarly, after this, all of the projects managed by my father and brothers no longer have anything to do with the two of you. Both of you shall no longer enjoy any profits or dividends from any of their projects."

Nicole's voice was calm, the logic of her words crisp and precise.

Sean did not expect that Nicole, who was just a college student, seemed to have a thorough understanding about company contracts.

"No!" Karen panicked. "Who do you think you are? Who are you to dictate terms in this family?!"

As she said that, Karen attempted to shove Nicole.

But Nicole deftly dodged to the side and Karen, losing her balance, staggered and fell onto the ground!

Chapter 1724

Karen crashed straight onto the coffee table, toppling it over!

In an instant, all of the cups on the tabletop fell to the ground and shattered!

And Karen, by a stroke of fate, knelt straight onto the shattered fragments!

"AHHHH!!!" Karen screeched in pain as the blood from her cut knees was smeared all over the floor!

"Karen!" Dillon immediately rushed to help Karen up and sat her on the sofa before glaring angrily at Nicole. "What have you done?!

Nicole rolled her eyes at him. "Are you blind, Uncle Dillon? Aunt

Karen was the one who wanted to hit me just now. Serves her right!

" Since they were already being so absolutely shameless, there was no need for her to hold back any longer!

"You! Looks like you're in need of a slap!"' Dillon was so pissed off, he raised his hand and slapped Nicole!

Who knew that Nicole was already planning not to let them go easily today?

Nicole immediately grabbed Dillon's hand, and a loud crack rang out. Dillon screamed in pain. "ARGH!!! What are you doing?!"

Before he could even finish screaming, Nicole kicked him straight in the calf bone!

With a crack, Dillon too fell on the fragmented shards on the floor!

"ARGH!" As Dillon screamed, his knees bled as well!

The scene stunned everyone who witnessed it.

Damien and Dexter were also shocked by the scene, starting to have cold sweats.

Daniel, on the other hand, had already covered Gloria's eyes and stopped her from looking at the scene.

But he, Sean and the rest were all staring at Nicole one after another...

None of them had expected that Nicole would strike against Dillon and his wife.

But since the two struck first, it really served them right!

"Did you see that, Dad?! Nicole's a total feral mutt!" Dillon hugged his knees as he laid on the ground, Karen now the last thing on his mind!

Nicole turned to Mr. Riddle Sr. at this moment and said, "Grandpa, you saw them strike first, and every single time there's a problem, Uncle Dillon would always ask you to preside over things, and then use you to throw all sorts of tantrums. He even dared hit me this time! If you side with him again, he'll only get worse!"

Even Mr. Riddle Sr. was shocked.

He totally did not expect Nicole to know martial arts...

Back then he just condoned whatever that Dillon did, but the latter had been taking advantage of that time and time again!

And now Dillon dared try to strike Nicole in front of him!

‘This husband-and-wife pair is beyond saving!

“Hmph, serves you right! You're an elder and you dare strike the young so nilly-willy. Have you forgotten Nicole's status now? Everything we Riddles have today is because of Nicole, so what in damnation are you lot quarreling for?"

Mr. Riddle Sr. stared at both Damien and Dillon angrily.

At this moment, Damien had already turned pale, knowing that he will not be able to achieve what he came for today.

Even worse, the entire thing had backfired on him!

Sure enough, Nicole seized the opportunity and said, "We'll be splitting this family up for sure. Our feelings for you will never change, Grandpa, so please don't worry. Sean, please send Grandpa home."

She did not want to agitate the old man too much. He had only recently recovered and could not afford to get angry, so Nicole asked Sean to send him home.

Strangely enough, Sean, the CEO of the company, actually listened to his little sister. "Got it. Grandpa, I'll send you home?"

Mr. Riddle Sr. nodded. He already had a headache from the ruckus and only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

 

Chapter 1725

"Dad! You can't just leave!" Dillon was still screaming for Mr.

Riddle Sr. Yet, the old man only glanced at him before walking away, feeling dour.

‘He's always so ungrateful.

It's high time to teach him a lesson,' he thought.

Seeing that Mr. Riddle Sr. had left just like that, Dillon despaired.

He then turned to Damien and yelled, "Damien, say something, damn you!" However, at this moment, Damien saw that things had already passed the point of no return as he said with a pale face.

"Dillon, Dad has already agreed to that...

and I'm powerless.

I'll call an ambulance for you." The only thing he could do now was help Dillon call an ambulance to take him away from this place.

“WHAT?!" Dillon was totally stunned.

Even Damien no longer planned to help him! The sight caused Dexter to feel ill.

As someone with hemophobia, he felt a little sick.

"Daniel, I'm feeling sick from the sight of blood, I'll be heading off first.

I'll leave the final decision of this matter to you all." He was similar to Daniel, and only collected dividends from the company.

He, however, would take a little bit more every year and did not feel as guilty as Daniel did.

He had no opinion against anyone in the family and treated everyone equally as he did not want to participate in any disputes at all.

“Alright, take care." Daniel gave Dexter a grateful look.

Every time when Damien and Dillon mistreated him, Dexter would often speak up for him, and he still remembered this clearly.

"Yeah." Dexter nodded as he waved and bade Daniel's family goodbye.

Damien on the other hand did not return after he went out to make a call.

Daniel, out of the kindness of his heart, called the family doctor and housekeeper to give Dillon and his wife emergency treatment.

The two, however, ungratefully refused them.

"Get lost! Don't touch me.

Who knows what you lot are plotting!" "Daniel, remember this! I won't let you off so easily for treating us like this!" The husband and wife continued to make a ruckus.

Nicole, already at her limits, hissed at them.

"Shut up! The two of you want me to shove those shards into your mouth to shut you up?" The two immediately fell silent.

Nicole was more than willing to see them bleed...

Shoving shards into their mouths was not impossible for her...

Karen could not help but lower her voice, but she still begrudgingly hissed, "Don't think you've won today, Nicole...

we won't let this lie!" "Up to you, but you better watch out.

If you piss me off again, just be aware that Uncle Dillon's shares in the company...

Let's just say don't blame me when he receives nothing during the dividend payout." "You dare threaten me?!" Karen's face was flushed in anger.

" Those shares were given to us by your grandfather.

You think you can just take that away?" Nicole only let out a sneer in response.

"That's none of your business.

But I can totally reduce those shares of yours into ash and cinder." Nicole's gaze was like a chill wind, biting deep into Karen's bones, causing fear to well up within her.

For some reason, she felt that this eighteen-year-old girl here would see to whatever she said done...

After all, she was now the inheritor of the Fire Crest.

She won't destroy her own family's business right? As she thought that, the ambulance Damien called arrived.

The ambulance crew immediately helped them up onto the stretchers.

Before Dillon was helped, he even tried to be menacing.

"Daniel, you dare do this to me...

You'll regret this!" If it were before, Daniel would not have known how to respond to them and would even feel pity out of brotherhoad.

But when Dillon tried to strike Daniel's daughter just now, Daniel had totally given up on the former.

He said impassively to Dillon, "I won't."
