Ch. 1866..1870: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1866-1870

Chapter 1866

'If I knew that little girl knew the governor, I would've never opposed her!' Mr. Hardy thought.

"Let the police handle the case. We cannot tolerate such people," Sebastian ordered coldly.

The director immediately instructed, "Security! Get him out of here! Report to the police when you're on the way."

"Yes, sir!" The security guards went straight up to Mr. Hardy and took him away.

Mr. Hardy gave a horrible shriek. "No! I was wrong! Don't treat me like this!"

Northon Institute cared about reputation the most! If he was sent to the police during the competition, he would definitely lose his job! However, no one was paying attention to him. Even Zeke and the students at Northon Institute thought he had brought shame to the school.

After this incident passed, the host hurriedly resumed and let Sebastian begin his closing speech. The crowd continued to cooperate behind him. Under the director's commands, the shooting of the competition finally ended.

After everyone left, Zeke told Nicole, "My apologies. My teacher has caused trouble for you."

Nicole shook her head. "It was him, not you. You don't have to apologize for anything."

Zeke breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright then. I'll be going on my way now."

"Okay, go ahead." Nicole smiled. The relationship between them remained the same.

Zeke then went on his way. He would be forever grateful to her as Nicole had saved his father's life before. It was just a competition. It was not a big deal as he could just let Nicole guide him later on.

After the competition ended, everyone got in their cars and left the venue. On the way back, Nicole became the center of attention once again. Bradley was looking at her with admiration the entire way back. "Nicole, I didn't expect you to know medicine!"

Even Jack and Wayne were impressed by Nicole's skills. "I know, right? You were so cool when you helped Mr. Zach in the bone-setting."

"And the moment you won by defeating everyone! It was incredible!"

Gary looked at his two underlings, who were admiring Nicole, and wondered whose underlings they were.

Gary cleared his throat audibly.

Only then did Jack and Wayne notice, and they restrained themselves. They even looked back at Gary obsequiously. "But Gary was obviously great today too."

"Yep! He got fourth place even with two masters participating in the competition. It was amazing," Jack echoed.

However, Gary was not happy one bit, listening to their words. After all, he was in third place last year. All these years, he had never dropped off the top three positions. This year was his first time. Luckily, it was a dream come true since he collaborated with Nicole. That thought brought him some solace.

Though Gary never expected Nicole to be so skilled and even know medicine. He looked at Nicole with a deep gaze. Ryder shot a glance at Gary and elbowed him. He lowered his voice to a whisper. "What was with that stare? Tone it down."

Gary only then realized he had lost his composure, so he hurriedly turned his gaze away. Ryder noticed his brother's abnormal behavior and whispered, "Do you have feelings for Nicole?"

Gary instantly tensed up and subconsciously covered Ryder's mouth. They grew up together, so there were a lot of things that he could not hide from Ryder. However, he did not want Nicole to overhear!

Chapter 1867

As he watched Gary's movements, Ryder understood everything...

He immediately nodded and motioned for Gary to let go, indicating that he will not speak about it.

It was only then did Gary awkwardly let go.

Ryder smiled as he shoved Gary a little. "Sure. I think she's a pretty good girl..."

He said that earnestly. Back in school, Nicole was very famous, but she was in the high school division while he was in the university division, so they had no interactions before, but now...

Now he knew Nicole was the godlike hacker they worshiped and, moreover, she had medical skills and was academically excellent. Furthermore, the Riddle family was recently on the rise, and he wondered if the Finley family could ever reach their level.

Yet, Gary rolled his eyes at him. "Ryder, how ill-informed can you be? Nicole is Jared's fiancee. The two of them had their engagement ceremony some time ago, and I went there on your behalf..."

When Gary mentioned this, Ryder was taken aback for a moment as he seemed to recall this matter.

Suddenly, he felt extremely lost for a moment.

"So, she's Jared Johnston's fiancee?"

'Ah... so she's already engaged.'

Inexplicably, the bitterness in Ryder's heart was far more than when he heard that his baby brother liked Nicole.

Gary smiled bitterly. "Yeah... I heard they're getting married soon."

Ryder fell silent as he patted his brother on the shoulder. "Ah well, a good girl will definitely have many excellent men around her."

They claim to be excellent themselves, but when compared to Jared, they were like heaven and earth.

"Yeah..." Gary let out a sigh as he looked at Nicole dejectedly.

The two brothers then said nothing else.

When Nicole returned to school, the school had already learned that the Royal Creek Institute had snagged the championship.

The self-study class was pretty much abandoned as all of the students gathered at the school gate, waiting to welcome the participating students back.

Mr. Ellison was at the front and when he saw them get out of the car, he stepped forward and said, "Good work, all of you."

Those words were said while he looked at Nicole.

The crowd immediately made way for Gary and Ryder. The pros of the previous year could only be Nicole's foil this time around.

"Winning glory for school is only natural," Nicole said.

Mr. Ellison then smiled from ear to ear.

He had always been butting heads with that old coot in Northon Institute, and the two had been hostile to one another for many years now.

It had always been Royal Creek Institute hogging the championship but Northon Institute unexpectedly won last year's competition, so the entire school was upset about it.

Yet, it was said that the boy from Northon Institute was very good and Royal Creek Institute's teacher in charge did not have much confidence at all this year.nov.ele.book Somehow, the moment Nicole showed up, they won the championship back.

'What can't Nicole do, really?'

Recruiting Nicole into the school was the best decision he had made.

"Congratulations, on behalf of the school," Mr. Ellison said.

Behind him, a group of students already pulled up a banner.

Just as Mr. Ellison said his piece, Lulu and June led the crowd as they cheered. "Nicole! Nicole! Invincible!"

When Nicole heard that cheer chorus, she turned and looked at Lulu and June helplessly.

These two girls must have come up with this cheer. It was just really blowing things out of proportion.

But everyone actually shouted along and they were very enthusiastic and energetic at it.

It was only until Ms. Emerson said, "Alright, alright. Nicole is probably tired now. Let's gather in the hall."

"Yes, Ms. Emerson!" Everyone nodded as they turned around and walked to the school hall.

In order to celebrate the victory of the Royal Creek Institute, all classes took a break from class and gathered in the hall to watch the competition broadcast.

Nicole raised an eyebrow and asked Gary beside her, "Are the broadcasts always that fast?"

Gary nodded. "It's always been like this. After all, this competition is one of the bigger ones in the country. I heard they wanted to do a live broadcast, but due to fear of mishaps, they delayed the broadcast by two hours and will only play it after editing."

Nicole raised her eyebrows. That was still very fast.

And she could not help but feel a little regretful.

'Does that mean my identity as Lucifer can no longer be hidden?'

Ever since she came to San Joto, her hidden identities had been exposed one after another at record speed.

"I won't be joining you guys. Watching myself is just so awkward." Nicole did not want to experience the shock of everyone finding out who she was live.

"Eh? Why?" Lulu immediately came over. "Let's go. This is the school celebrating for you, you know!"

As she was pulled along by Lulu, Nicole felt very embarrassed.

Yet, she could not very well refuse that, so she had to follow the crowd to the hall.

The big screen in the hall was ready to broadcast.

After everyone took their seats, the broadcast began.

Nicole sighed as she followed everyone and looked at the screen. Sure enough, her earlier slothful appearance was on full display.

"Woah, Nicole looked so casual before the competition."

"Yeah, she looked like she was relaxing or something."

"I know, right? She was even captaining Ryder and Gary too."

"So cool!"

The compliments made Nicole squirm.

Halfway through the broadcast, she took the opportunity to go to the toilet, but in reality, she wanted to flee and not go back.

Yet, just as she was about to step out, she ran into Harvey.

He seemed to have something to do so he came late.

As he happened to run into Nicole, he let out a coy smile. "Congratulations, president. I heard you won the computer competition."

Nicole's face was icy cold and she tried to walk around him...

Yet, Harvey stood in her way and as he looked at the competition broadcast on the screen behind her, he instantly understood what was going on. "Why? Embarrassed to look at yourself? Want to get a drink?"

Seeing that Harvey was not letting her go, Nicole hissed icily. "No need. I'm fine."

After that, she turned around and went back to her seat.

When Lulu saw her, she asked. "Why are you back again?"

Harvey just happened to walk past her as she said coldly, "Ran into a prick."

When Harvey heard that, he was not only not angry, he even sat down at the empty seat behind her.

Nicole suddenly felt uncomfortable.

However, Harvey was indifferent, watching the screen as Nicole soon appeared a little. novelebook At the end, when the host revealed Nicole's identity, everyone was stunned.

"My goodness, Nicole is Lucifer?"

"That internet god?"

"Oh my god... What does Nicole NOT know?"

Ever since Nicole joined the Royal Creek Institute, she had subverted everyone's expectations time and time again, creating miracle after miracle as her identity was exposed one after another. It was really just shocking.

Harvey was surprised too. He knew Nicole was skilled with a computer, but he did not expect her to be THAT skilled... and for her to be the number one hacker in the world!

'Nicole, Nicole, how many more identities are you hiding from me?'

He clenched his fist tightly, really wanting to get his hands on Nicole right there and then.

'Soon, soon...'

Holding his fist tightly, he slowly approached Nicole and whispered to her from behind with a voice only the two of them could hear. "Nicole... I really, really want to make you mine."

Chapter 1868

Nicole turned around in disgust as she glared at Harvey. "Stop dreaming."

She really regretted it now. She knew Harvey was a person with a split personality. Perhaps she should not have gotten close to him back then as he was now a constant source of annoyance for her.

So much so that she did not want to be anywhere near him for even a minute.

Yet, Harvey only chuckled as he saw her look of disgust. "You'll find out whether I'm dreaming or not soon enough.novelebook When the time comes, you'll be begging for me."

He looked at Nicole with assured certainty, fantasizing about that scene that was to come.

Nicole only snorted. "You're only building castles in the air."

As she said that, she was no longer in any mood to talk to him and got up.

Yet, the crowd immediately turned around and started clapping for Nicole. "You're so awesome, Nicole!"

"Nicole! We love you!"

Listening to her fellow student's exaggerated proclamations, Nicole could only accept them bashfully.

How she wished this embarrassing celebration would end quickly...

At the end, Mr. Ellison spoke once again. "The celebration will end here. Once again, the school congratulates Miss Nicole Riddle."

The applause was thunderous, and Nicole could only accept it.

Immediately after, the teachers got up and led their students back to class.

Along the way, Lulu, June and the others were still congratulating Nicole, and they were all overjoyed.

Only Regina, who was tailing behind the crowd, looked miffed.

Even when she recently found out that Nicole was held in high regard at school, she still hoped that Nicole would make a fool of herself during the competition, but unexpectedly, Nicole emerged victorious!

And it turned out that she was some hacking god!

'Is this Nicole the same person I knew from back then?'

'How is she so talented?'

'Could it be that Nicole was just playing the fool back then?'

She really did not understand what was going on now...

At this moment, someone bumped into her. "Eh? What are you staring at the class rep for?"

"Are you jealous she won the championship?"

Regina immediately shrank to the side. "I'm not! Don't put words in my mouth!"

She was really jealous, but she could not admit it!

In the past few days, there were students who were trying to find fault with her, and she was afraid of them.

If this continued, she would become the object of bullying!

"Hah, don't think you have the guts anyway!" The few students were in a good mood and when they saw her recoil like that, they did not bother her any longer.

Everyone then followed Nicole back into class.

Regina was extremely bitter but she could not do anything to Nicole at all.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside her.

Regina subconsciously looked up and immediately saw a handsome face.

Even if she had only been here for a short while, she knew Mr. Ellison's grandson when she saw him!

When she saw him approach her, Regina was ecstatic.

'Why would Harvey take notice of me?'

"You're the newcomer in their class?" Harvey took measure of Regina and felt only disgust at the slightly plump girl. nove.l.eboo.k Although she may be wearing a proper school uniform, she gave out a slovenly air about her.

'This person was once Nicole's classmate?'

'Yes..." At this moment, Regina was about to faint from joy. She had only arrived not too long ago in school and she had already caught Harvey's attention! 'Luck is still on my side!'

But before she could feel gleeful about her fortune,novelebook Harvey suddenly asked, "I heard you don't get along with Nicole?"

She had heard this sentence way too often recently.

Chapter 1869

Everyone was picking a fight with her as she did not get along with Nicole, and the joy in Regina's heart instantly disappeared as fear took its place.

"I... I had some misunderstandings with her in the past..."

If anyone else tried to bother her, she could still bear with it, but if Harvey was standing on Nicole's side, then she was done for!

Harvey looked at Regina's fearful look with a gaze full of mockery as he said,novelebook "I don't care what sort of grievances the two of you have, but from today onwards... help me keep an eye on Nicole. Report to me if anything happens."

He needed someone to keep an eye out on Nicole but almost everyone was already enraptured by Nicole, so only this person may perhaps be useful.

"Eh?" Regina was taken aback, not quite understanding what he meant.

Yet, she still nodded by reflex. "Oh...Got it."

Harvey snorted and then said, "Give me your phone."

Regina immediately handed her phone over in a daze.

Harvey quickly typed his phone number in. "This is my number. You'll report to me Nicole's location and general situation at any moment."

He was soon about to achieve his goal on the Johnston Group side...

If Nicole was really the number one hacker, then it may be a little troublesome, so he needed someone to keep an eye on her.

"Okay..." 'Oh my goodness! I actually got Harvey's number out of nowhere?!'

Even though she was just asked to keep an eye on Nicole, this was a very good thing indeed!

At the very least, she now had Harvey's contact number! nov.eleb.ook And now she knew Harvey as well!

'Wasn't this what Father wanted?'

Thinking of this, Regina was overjoyed!

Even when she knew Harvey had left, she still clutched her phone in excitement...

"Nice! When Dad learns about this, he'll definitely praise me!" As she thought of this, she gleefully went back to class.

With Harvey's support, she would not have to suffer any bullying anymore!

'Nicole, you're not having a good time, aren't you?'

It seemed like Harvey had something against Nicole and Regina would have another comrade in the future!

Thinking this, she was elated.

She then secretly kept her eye on Nicole to send any information to Harvey at any moment.

School was soon over in a blink of an eye.

And as always, Jared came to pick Nicole up.

When Nicole got into the car, she looked exhausted.

Jared smiled as he leaned close. "The competition was exhausting?"

Nicole glanced back at him. "No, dealing with people was far more tiring."

Until after school, her classmates' enthusiasm overwhelmed her. Back then, they were afraid of her coldness but today, they did not care about it any longer. Some even tried to ask for her autograph and that was extremely embarrassing.

"You're now the school's star, yeah? Miss Lucifer." Jared curled his lips and looked totally unsurprised.

Nicole raised an eyebrow. "You saw the competition?"

Jared smiled playfully. "Of course. It's my fiance's competition after all. Naturally, I would watch it."

"At least you know what's right." Nicole then said with satisfaction.

"However, they probably didn't broadcast the most exciting part. The teacher in charge is still in the hospital."

Nicole glanced at Jared. "I can't hide anything from you."

Jared then said, "I've dealt with that teacher from Northon Institute. He's been fired and sent away."

He will get rid of anyone who dared to disrespect his woman.

"Can you not be so fast?" She really felt that she would be spoiled rotten if he kept on spoiling her like this.

"It's nothing. He's a blind fool who dared displease my woman. novelebook It's already a mercy I didn't chase him out of Hustuaburg."

Nicole could not help but smile. "Yeah, a person like that is nothing but an eyesore anyway."

Chapter 1870

Seeing Nicole's mood improve, Jared could not help but stretch his hand out and hug her.

Nicole lay in his arms and was at ease. Yet, when she thought of Harvey, she felt inexplicably uneasy. "Harvey's acting really strange lately. You better be on alert on your company's side."

Jared took a deep breath. "He's indeed acting very strangely of late."

Nicole raised her eyebrow. "You've never broached the topic of your company with me before."

He knew everything about her, but he had rarely mentioned anything about his company recently.

Jared could see Nicole's concern and said, "The company's fine.novelebook There are many people who want to work with the Riddle family, and the Johnston Group also profited by association."

Nicole knew that Jared only wanted to reassure her, and the whole matter of profiting by association was just a reassurance.

In fact, the Johnston Group had no need to rely on others at all, but Jared was just being humble.

Seeing that Nicole was still worried, he then said, "Harvey did indeed try to cause some trouble in the past few days, but I found out in advance, so his schemes failed. Don't worry."

Nicole nodded "But he most likely won't give up just like that."

"Yeah, but he had been inconspicuously quiet for the past few days and it's a little strange." Jared was suspicious too.

Nicole raised an eyebrow. "I wonder what scheme he's concocting now. How about we get someone to keep an eye on him?"

Jared curled his lips. "Mr. Ellison is still around, so I don't want to alarm him."

If Jared were to keep an eye on Harvey, Mr. Ellison would be the first to be alarmed.

"Also, if you want to catch the snake, you need to beat it whole. Harvey has yet to make any big moves, and even if I tell Grandpa, he'll just warn him at most..." nov,el,e,book Jared's eyes were dark, yet brilliant. "And I... like to remove the root of the problem when I do things..."

Even if he were to suffer losses, he would thoroughly eliminate his foe to feel at ease.

Seeing Jared's scheming look, Nicole knew he had plans ready.

"Fine, as long as he doesn't cause you trouble."

But for some reason, Nicole still felt a little uneasy.

'Harvey's also a very meticulous person. He wouldn't just cause some minor trouble after saying what he did. I'm just afraid that this is but a smokescreen..."

At this moment, in a secret private room in the Empyrean Hotel...

Harvey was in the main seat, waiting for a guest.

A knock finally rang out on the door as a figure soon walked in.

When Harvey saw the person, he frowned a little. "I didn't expect the person who invited me to be you."

He had received a mysterious email claiming that the author knew about the Riddle family's internal matters. Here he was wondering who it was, and unexpectedly... it was Everett.

'This young master of the Riddle family seems to be neglected, and he dares to call me out?'

"I didn't expect to meet you one day too, Mr. Harvey. But now, both of us have a common enemy, so we will be great partners." Everett got rid of his usual gentle facade as he sat down with a dark look in his eyes.

When Harvey saw Everett like this, he suddenly felt like he was looking at himself.

"So, it seems like you're the two-faced person hidden inside the Riddle family, Mr. Everett."

To hide oneself and put on a docile facade, lying dormant in the family just to get everything he wanted...

Only those of the same kind as him could understand such a feeling.

Everett then smiled. "Ah, so Mr. Harvey, you're the same kind of person as me..."

Harvey looked at Everett, and found the latter particularly charismatic.

"Speak. How do you plan to work with me, and what sort of value are you bringing to the table?" Harvey gave Everett a chance.

Everett absolutely hated Harvey's haughtiness, but the latter was indeed far more capable than him now.novelebook Moreover, he needed Harvey as a stepping stone to fight against Jared.

Thinking this, he let out a sinister smile. "You've been sparring in the shadows with Jared, but I think you've already noticed, Mr. Harvey, that Jared Johnston is no pushover. Facing him head-on is definitely not the best idea."
