Ch. 1756..1760: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1756-1760
Chapter 1756
"I- Uhh... I-" Bradley was still out of breath, but he quickly checked on Nicole.
Seeing that she was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Thank god you're fine..." When Lulu and June noticed how panicked Bradley was, they glanced at each other.
“Bradley, you seem strange..." Lulu raised her eyebrows, full of doubt.
It was as if she made a huge discovery.
It was only then that Bradley realized he had lost his composure.
So, he immediately said, "I'm not.
I'm just genuinely worried about Nicole." As he finished speaking, Bradley walked past Lulu while panicking and returned to his seat.
Lulu and June could not help but laugh.
However, Nicole did not bother about them.
She looked at all three of them seriously.
“Anyways, thank you all for caring about me but I'm really fine.
It was Chloe who got into trouble." Lulu nodded.
"That's great.
For amoment, we thought that if our award-winning actress got into trouble, you would be affected too.
"Thank God you're fine.
But it seems like luck really isn't on the production team's side.
Previously, they couldn't find a suitable female lead.
Now that they finally found Nicole and started shooting, such a terrible thing happened." Lulu carefully said, "Based on the family tree, Chloe's your cousin, right?" Nicole could tell that Lulu was worried of hurting her.
She smiled.
"I guess so, but we're not close." Then, the two of them let out a sigh of relief.
"That's good to hear.
We just don't want to see you feel sad or get hurt.” The two girls looked at each other and smiled.
They could finally be at peace.
There were times where Nicole would question if it was good to have friends like these.
These two girls would always put her first.
The morning passed by just like that.
In the afternoon, when they were eating together at the cafeteria, Lulu was busy swiping through social media when she noticed something huge.
"Hey, it seems like Chloe's seeking compensation from the production team.
However, the team's official account had announced that they refuse to do so.
What's going on?" "Is the team trying to get bashed?" June seemed surprised.
"For such cases, shouldn't they compensate immediately?" "I'm not sure about that, but it seems like the production team is saying that Chloe made all of this up." “How's that possible? Why would someone hurt themselves intentionally?" June was in doubt.
Nicole muttered, "Sometimes, we can't judge a book by its cover." June was shocked.
Then, she whispered, "Nicole, what do you mean? Are you trying to say...
that Chloe really staged this herself? " Nicole did not answer her question.
"Soon, the both of you will find out.
I've signed a non-disclosure agreement, so I can't say much." "Oh..." Seeing this, the two girls did not dare question further.
However, they still followed the news closely online.
At that moment, Chloe was crying in pain at the hospital ward.
Miley was also in tears with Chloe.
Damien's gaze was dark, but he stood by the window without uttering a word.
On the other hand, Everett was leaning against the door, not knowing what to say.
Chapter 1757
Deep down, Everett knew very well that Miley only cared about Chloe.
Miley had been crying the whole morning while holding Chloe's hand.
At that moment, her eyes were so puffy that it almost looked like a walnut.
“My dear daughter, how are you going to live for the rest of your life?" They had found the best specialists in San Joto for Chloe.
But after looking through the records, they all said that there was no cure for it.
“why don't we ask the Wyance family? The mayor's son is a first- class doctor, right?" Looking at how Miley had laid her eyes on the Wyance family, Everett said, "Mom, it's hard to reach Martin for his services." Miley immediately turned back and glared at him.
"Isn't he best friends with Nicole? If she can reach him immediately, why can't we?" The machine which Nicole had was from Martin.
She had to be close to him.
However, at the mention of Nicole, Chloe immediately acted up.
" Nicole, that bitch! I don't want her friend's help! It's because of her that I'm here right now!" Just as she finished speaking, Damien turned around fiercely.
" You better shut your mouth! The reason why you're here is your own fault! And yet, you're still being stubborn! If you hadn't tried to hurt Nicole, would you have suffered yourself?" Chloe looked at Damien angrily.
Sure enough, her own dad did not care about her anymore.
Previously, when she was chased out of the country, Damien did not help her.
Now that she was going to be disabled, she would not be of any good use to him.
He would not even lay an eye on her! Gritting her teeth, Chloe shouted, "It was Nicole who snatched the role of the fernale lead from me! She also chased my manager away! All I'm doing is getting back what belongs to me.
What's wrong with that?" At this, Damien yelled, "You fool! With Nicole's status, she could destroy our whole family.
She's been eyeing me and Uncle Dillon.
Who are you to offend her?" It was not that Damien was not worried about Chloe, but she had disappointed him with her actions.
Damien had spent a fortune on Chloe ever since she was young to nurture her into an award-winning actress.
However, after she met Nicole, Chloe had lost to Nicole time and time again.
Now, Chloe had already lost the rest of her life to Nicole.
Chloe did not understand Damien's disappointment.
She bit her lip and glared at Damien.
"You're right.
In your eyes, I'm not Chloe Riddle, the award-winning actress anymore.
I'm not of use to you anymore! So, you think I'm not worthy of fighting for things that I want, right?" Looking at how unreasonable Chloe was being, Damien became angrier.
"Go ahead! Do as you please.
You'll have to bear the consequences of your own actions!" Damien had already split things up with Daniel.
The company was also facing some issues.
Of course, he hated Nicole a lot! However, he had to take a step back and look at the big picture.
Otherwise, he would not be able to pay for Chloe's medical fees! "T'll bear everything on my own! Even if I'm disabled, I don't need your money!" Chloe glared at Damien with anger as she spoke those words.
Damien only laughed in response.
"You don't need my money? Are you counting on the production team? From the get-go, the team had already come clear with everything! This means that it was not their fault! Perhaps, they know everything that you've done!" At that moment, Chloe's face turned pale.
"T-That's impossible! How would they know?" Damien chuckled.
"Even Nicole knows about it.
Did you think she would keep it to herself? Furthermore, from what we know of Lloyd and Gloria, did you think they'll let you receive a huge compensation? They're untouchable!" Even if they were willing to give, the current Damien would not dare receive.
“That's impossible...
No, the production team wouldn't do this to me!" For her post-treatment fee, if she wanted the best treatment, she would need at least ten million and above.
If the production team would not do anything, how was Chloe going to get her treatment? Her commission from previous projects had been used up...
She was incapable of handling such a huge fee.
When Miley heard this, she understood the whole situation.
Then, she quickly begged Damien, "Honey, do we really have no way out of this? Are we really going to see Chloe turn into a disabled person for the rest of her life?"
Chapter 1758
Damien snorted.
"What other ways could we think of right now? The best specialist has already spoken.
That's it." Damien seemed helpless.
"The company had been split by Daniel and most of my partnerships had been affected.
Now, there's another huge issue to solve here.
If you all want to live a good life in the future, you better behave yourself.
Don't disturb or anger Nicole again!" At this moment, Damien was clear that no one should ever anger Nicole and her family anymore! As Everett looked at Damien, he felt a deep sense of disappointment.
"Is this the Damien I know, who is a man of his own words?' Everett used to have a respectful image of Damien in his heart.
And now, he was actually afraid of a high schooler.
‘If Uncle Daniel and his family had climbed to a higher status, so what? "My father's such a loser.' Everett's gaze turned darker.
Just at that moment, Damien turned around and noticed that Everett didn't seem normal.
Damien frowned and asked, "What are you thinking about?" Everett immediately regained his composure.
"Nothing, I was just thinking that you're smart." Damien nodded lightly.
He thought that his son would not be thinking about other things.
However, his gaze was really dark...
Damien shook his head to stop himself from thinking about those issues.
He turned to Miley and said, ''You should take care of Chloe.
I'll continue to contact specialists from other cities.
There's some work left at the office.
I'll get going." ‘Useless ones would always remain useless." Everett understood this.
He was a useless person himself, so his dad would never look at him.
Now, Chloe would not bring him any benefit.
Instead, she was becoming a burden.
She definitely lost her value in Damien's heart.
So, it was normal that Damien would leave her aside.
Then, Everett left with Damien.
Chloe watched as Damien left.
Then, she said mockingly, "My own father...
is really cruel.
I'm useless to him now, right?" Miley immediately wiped away her tears and said, "Don't overthink.
Your dad really has work to do in the office.
These days, Uncle Daniel and his family have been keeping an eye on your dad.
If he doesn't do his job well, he might be chased out of the company.
Then, no one would help you with your medical fees." Chloe smiled bitterly.
She never thought that one day she would be this stressed out about medical fees.
She looked at the ceiling with hatred in her eyes.
Then, she gritted her teeth and said, "All this is because of Nicole...
She caused me to be like this! I'll never leave her alone, even in the afterlife!" Miley also clenched her fist tightly, full of hate.
"Isn't this all Nicole's fault?! Now that our family has lost our status, their family is in charge of the Riddle family.
They also took away a huge part of your grandpa's share! And now, she has caused you to be lying in bed! She deserves to die!" Hearing her own mother's words, Chloe glanced at Miley.
"You're right. She deserves to die! "Mom, we must not let her continue walking around with her arrogance!" Chloe said with an evil tone.
"You mean..." Chloe pursed her lips and spoke into her mom's ear to tell of her idea.
Miley immediately nodded.
"Don't worry. I'll pull it off perfectly with no trace! I'll let her die a graveless death!" "Mom, I'm counting on you..." Chloe purposely said that to boost Miley's excitement.
Chapter 1759
Miley's expression turned more and more evil.
"I've always wanted to teach that bitch a lesson...
Don't worry.
I won't let her go so easily! She caused you this pain.
I'll make her pay tenfold!" It was as if Chloe had finally found someone to lean on.
She slowly held onto her mother's hands as she felt touched.
Throughout her whole life, this was the moment where she realized that the only person who loved her was her mom.
"Also, I won't let the production team escape from their responsibility.
I'll look for Lloyd and Nachelle today! They have to give me an explanation!" "Yes.
For such a famous team, they have to be afraid of any negative news.
They would definitely pay if they don't want this to go viral." “That's right.
I won't be like your dad, just accepting whatever they say.
I don't care whatever it takes.
I'll ask for all that money!" The mother and daughter duo were indulging in wishful thinking.
In the blink of an eye, school ended.
Nicole sat in the sprinter van and went to the shooting location.
Without Chloe around, their shoot for that day was extremely smooth.
The only thing was that Lloyd did not seem to be in the mood.
He did not approach Nicole or even spoke to her when they were waiting together.
Nachelle also seemed cold to Nicole that day.
The reason? Nicole had already guessed it, but she was happy for things to result in this.
That distance with everyone while completing the shoot was what Nicole wanted.
She did not want to get too close to Lloyd.
After all, she was just returning a favor by participating in the shoot.
She did not want him to think otherwise.
After waiting for a while, Nachelle got ready for the shoot.
Just at that moment, there was a loud noise coming from the entrance.
Then, the noise got nearer and nearer.
"Let me in!" "I'm sorry, madam.
You're not allowed to enter without a pass." "Get out of my way!" That person was very arrogant.
It seemed like she had brought someone else, and the security guards present could not control her.
Nicole felt that the voice sounded familiar.
She glanced over and saw Miley taking big steps into the studio.
Miley wore an expensive dress, high heels and carried a backpack.
When Nachelle noticed that someone had caused a huge commotion to enter the place, she immediately walked out, looking unhappy and said, "What's going on?" As Miley saw Nachelle, she immediately smiled.
"Ms. Lloyd, it's great that you're here.
I'm here to seek justice for my daughter, Chloe." Once Nachelle heard that the person was here to seek justice for Chloe, she immediately remembered who Miley was.
Nachelle could not help but snort.
"I was wondering who it was.
It turns out to be the Rogers family who had been kicked out of San Joto's list of families." Miley felt embarrassed as soon as she heard Nachelle mention the Rogers family being kicked out of the country.
"Although the Rogers family had fallen, I'm the daughter-in-law of the Riddle family!" Nicole looked at the way Miley used the Riddle family's name.
She could not help but laugh sarcastically.
The Riddle family was thriving off Nicole's family.
Damien had nothing to do with it! Nachelle did not care about it.
"As far as I know, the most famous daughter-in-law of the Riddle family is Gloria Holder.
Who are you?" Those sharp words instantly slapped Miley in the face! She did not realize that her status now was way behind Gloria's.
Seeing that she was at a disadvantage, Miley raised her voice to regain some power.
"Stop talking nonsense! I'm here today to get justice for my daughter! What did you mean by your response on the official social media account?
My daughter got hurt at the shooting location, and yet you said that you've investigated but the production team isn't responsible for it.
How dare you say such words! Where's your conscience? If it wasn't your fault, then is it my daughter's own fault?"
Miley spoke a lot because she was afraid that if Nachelle interrupted her, she would not be able to say those words again.
However, Nachelle only laughed mockingly as she heard all that nonsense.
"Those words came out from your mouth, not mine.
Why? Did your daughter tell you so? That it was her own fault?" |
Chapter 1760
Miley was stunned in an instance.
Although Chloe had described the whole incident to her, she could not admit it, especially with so many people present.
Miley wanted the team to compensate them.
“What nonsense are you talking about? My daughter was hurt at the shoot.
The team has to pay! And according to the agreement, the compensation should be tripled!" Nachelle was not someone to be offended.
She would not let Miley cause a scene.
So, she immediately shouted, "If you're trying to cause a scene with me, you should first see what kind of a person your daughter is." While speaking, Nachelle whipped out her phone and played a video recording.
Nicole did not have to see to know what it was.
Perhaps, Nachelle had expected that someone would come knocking on her door.
She probably saved a video in her phone of Chloe sabotaging the scene.
"What's this? I don't want to look at it!" Miley was still trying to cause a scene.
However, Nachelle replied, "It's fine if you choose not to watch it, but I've already handed this video over to the police.
This is your own daughter sabotaging the wire and causing herself to get hurt in the video.
The police will release this to the public soon!" "What?" Miley was stunned.
She did not expect Nachelle to have a video of Chloe sabotaging.
Miley could not believe it.
She quickly took the phone and looked closely.
It really was Chloe cutting the safety harness' wire in the video! "H-how is this possible?" If they had the video, it was obvious they knew that Chloe had been sabotaging the wires from the get-go.
And yet, they allowed her to continue filming! “Are you done?" Nachelle saw that Miley had frozen.
She immediately took back her phone.
"If you're done, please get out of this place.
Stop interrupting our shoot." It was only then that Miley came to her senses.
She still did not give up.
"No! Even if that's the case, all of you have to pay! It was because of you guys...
it was all of you.
You knew that she did it, and still allowed her to get on it! Otherwise...
otherwise, why would you have this video?" Miley was still trying to find a reason to blame the production team.
At that moment, Nicole could not help but burst into laughter.
When Miley heard someone laughing, she turned around to look at Nicole.
She had almost forgotten that bitch was still at the filming location! "What are you laughing at? It was all because of you that Chloe's in trouble! And you still have the guts to laugh!" Nicole looked at her coldly.
Her smile was getting crueler.
"You already have the guts to come here, put the blame on others and ask for compensation.
Why would I not have the guts to laugh?" "who says I'm blaming others?" Miley ran toward Nicole angrily.
"It was you, right? You did this on purpose! You probably ordered the production team to do so.
You must've known about this earlier..." "So what if I knew about this earlier?" Nicole looked back at her coldly.
A murderous look flashed across her eyes.
It made the whole shooting location feel dark.
Miley was frightened by Nicole's aura.
“Aunty Miley, you have to show evidence when claiming something.
Just like how the production team has evidence that Chloe brought this upon herself.
Do you have evidence that the production team was targeting her? It could be possible that we only found this photo after the incident...
As for the rest, we had no clue about it.
And yet, you're asking for compensation from the production team? The situation was created by Chloe herself, and she hurt herself, causing a huge interruption to the shoot.
She should be the one to compensate everyone threefold." "You! You're lying!" Miley was frightened by Nicole's proximity that she almost fell to the ground while stepping backward.
" Nicole! We're all from the Riddle family! How could you side with others and demand your own cousin to compensate the team? Don't you have a conscience?" Nicole snorted as she looked at Miley's dark and hopeless gaze.
She said jokingly, "When my cousin sabotaged the wire, did she ever think about how I'm from the Riddle family too? When Uncle Damien came to my parents and caused trouble, did he think of us as a family? Previously, you were always mean to me.
Did you see me as a Riddle? And now, you're saying that we're a family.
I'm sorry.
My last name is Riddle and yours, the Roger family." "you!" Unexpectedly, Nicole was good with her words.
One line after another, it all refuted Miley that she could not speak anymore.
All she felt was a huge pain of embarrassment to her face! Gwendolyn, Anna, and the rest of the people there had witnessed this scene.
All of them began to respect and admire Nicole.
