Ch. 271..275: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 271-275

Chapter 271

When Snow heard that, she frowned a little as she silently pinched her sister.

Although this was something of common knowledge in everyone’s heart, no one had said it out loud.

Daniel was still their elder, and they still needed to keep up the appearance. Although she felt that Raine had overstepped, she too thought that Daniel had no right to be seated there.

This was the common consensus, so she did not stop Raine from finishing what she said. In any case, even Mr. Riddle Sr. usually acquiesced to this. Raine then said, “Hey, Nicole.

Why don’t you get up and make way?” Nicole did not even look at her as she slowly drank the bowl of hot soup in her hand.

Her delicate face bore no expression at all. Gloria had said that she needed to drink it while it was still hot. Seeing that Nicole was ignoring her, Raine was so angry she walked over to pull Nicole away.

A cold glint appeared in Nicole’s eyes, but at this moment, Mr. Riddle Sr’s extremely chilly voice rang out.

“Raine, who taught you to speak of your Uncle Daniel like that?” Raine had already stretched her hand over, and when she heard Mr.Riddle Sr.asking her this, a look of consternation appeared on her face. ‘Hadn’t grandpa always turned a blind eye to the fact that everyone looked down on Uncle Daniel’s family?’ When Mr. Riddle Sr. said that, his eyes turned toward Dillon and Karen.

The look on his face was self-evident. In his eyes, Snow and Raine were still young, and all of the problems were from this son of his! When Karen saw Mr. Riddle Sr. asking that, she was already dissatisfied that both she and Dillon had been left out, so she muttered, “Isn’t that the truth?” Mr. Riddle Sr.’s hearing was very good and immediately caught Karen’s disgruntled voice.

His voice instantly grew several degrees colder as he said.

“Oh, the fact is that you guys are fighting for free seating spots.

This is how you lot usually treat Daniel.”

His mind and energy had always been on the Riddle Corporation, so he naturally had more contact with the sons who were working there.

It was inevitable that he somewhat neglected his youngest son, but he had never thought that his youngest son was useless, much less allow a young generation to speak to his son like that. When Karen heard this, she brusquely responded, “Dillon is working hard to feed this freeloader, and we are supposed to deal with his whims?” Dillon sat by the side; a look of self-contentment appeared on his face. ‘As long as I’m in the company, my position is always higher than Daniel’s.’ He thought. When Preston heard this, he snorted out loud.

He knew that his father was doing nothing at all in the company.

Forget working.

It was already a blessing if he did not cause trouble. Steve’s expression, too, turned chilly.

After all, the one who really kept the company’s operations running was Sean.

What does that have to do with Dillon? The latter would push things around when things get tough, and he did not want a position-in -name only! – Mr. Riddle Sr. was clearly aware of this as he looked at Dillon, and a look of disappointment that was difficult to hide gradually appeared.

His voice was cold and impassive.

“I’ve already retired, and by your words, shouldn’t I give my position up as well and let Dillon take over instead? When he said that, even Damien’s expression changed in an instant. Dillon turned pale in fear.

He did not expect Mr. Riddle Sr. to say such a serious thing as he pulled Karen up to apologize. Karen did not think she was wrong as she tried to push Dillon away as he pulled her up.

“What are you doing?”

 

Chapter 272

Dillon was so pissed off at this woman that he almost wanted to scream in anger.

“Apologize to Dad, now!” Even though Mr. Riddle Sr. was not in the company, he was the true chairman of Riddle Corporation’s board.

If he said something like this, the old man might already have some thoughts about him. Although Dillon was not the sharpest tool in the shed, he still had a keen eye for people’s moods. When Karen was yelled at by him, she looked at Dillon in disbelief.

She could not believe that he dared to treat her like this. ‘She had married down to the Riddle family, and Dillon had always been treating her like she was on a pedestal.

He had never spoken to her with such a tone before! She thought.

She looked at Dillon as she roared.

“Dillon Riddle, fine! Just you wait!” As she said that, she left the room fuming and slammed the door shut with a loud bang. Dillon’s expression grew even more sullen as he said respectfully to Mr. Riddle Sr., “Dad, Karen is being immature there.

Please don’t take this to heart!” Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at him with clear dissatisfaction.

“You’re this old now, and you still look down at Daniel.

You not only fail to teach your children manners; you can’t even control your wife?” Cold sweat was flowing down Dillon’s face as he quickly said, “Dad, it’s all my fault.

I will change!” Mr. Riddle Sr. snorted as he looked away from Dillon and said coldly, “Enough.

I’m tired.

Since everyone has seen it already, let’s go downstairs to eat.” He originally wanted to say something to his grandchildren, but now he felt that his strength was spent, and he wanted to get a good rest.

Nicole suddenly felt that Mr. Riddle Sr. was quite pitiful.

He was so ill, yet so few people cared about him.

Even when he came home, he still needed to preside over the overall situation, to look after the younger generation.

The Riddle family sure lacks the human touch. Dillon, being ignored, simply just stood that awkwardly.

He had lost all face, and when he looked at Daniel, a trace of hatred flashed across his eyes. It was because Daniel was in the limelight this time that the old man cared so much about him. ‘You want to step on me? No chance!’ It was only then did Snow, and Raine realize that grandpa’s attitude toward Uncle Daniel had changed. Everyone went downstairs, and they hurriedly went to their father to ask, “Dad, what’s going on?” Dillon glared angrily at Snow as he spat, “It’s because you are useless and allowed Nicole to grab the limelight.

Now Daniel’s entire family has gotten the old man’s favor.

We can only stand on the sidelines now!” Snow was distressed being chewed out by Dillon like that, but she dared not say anything.

She begrudgingly gave Nicole a glare.

The latter, seemingly sensing it looked back at Dillon’s family as she sat down and let out an impassive look on her face. Just as Dillon was about to take his seat, Nicole suddenly spoke.

“Uncle Dillon, let’s not rush to sit down first.” She casually leaned back, her voice impassive as if she was just stating a fact.

“Since everyone is here, it’s time to fulfill your promise, Uncle Dillon.

You still remember what you said to me outside the ward that time?” Damien was seated on the main seat as a glint appeared beneath his glasses.

He seemed to recall something and gave Nicole a strange look.

He never thought that she would remember this.

Remembering aside, she really wanted to pursue the matter! Samuel, too, seemed to be reminded of something as he suddenly said, “Yeah, Uncle Dillon said…” Before Samuel could finish speaking, Dillon’s face had become extremely sullen.

 

Chapter 273

How could he not remember that thing he uttered like a curse. He thought that since Mr. Riddle Sr. was cured, he could get away with it. He totally did not expect Nicole to bring the matter up at this moment!

Nicole was calm as she looked at Dillon’s look of revelation as she said, “Uncle Dillon, let’s get it done.”

Dillon gritted his teeth as he looked at Nicole with a gaze of extreme hatred.

When she saw this, Snow could not help but ask, “Nicole, what are you talking about?”

She was not there and did not know what Dillon had promised. Yet when she saw her father’s look of wishing he could kill Nicole, she could faintly sense something was not right.

Nicole did not speak as Steve gently wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin and said matter-of- factly as he recounted what Dillon said the other day.

“If you can cure the old man, I will kneel down to you.”

Snow’s expression changed instantly. She had not expected her father to make such a ridiculous bet.

Damien looked at Dillon before him and just let out a deep sigh in the end.

Seeing that his elder brother was not going to speak up for him, Dillon’s heart turned cold. Everyone heard what he said the other day, so he could not deny it even if he wanted to. He gritted his teeth as he hissed at Nicole. “Nicole, how dare you. Is this how you treat your elders? You dare to get me to kneel before you. Are you not afraid of karma biting you back?”

Nicole was unaffected as she said coldly, “Since you dare to make a bet, Uncle Dillon, why would I not dare to bear the consequences?”

As she said that, she stood up as looked icily at Dillon. “When grandpa suddenly fell sick, when grandpa needed treatment the most when I said I needed to transfer grandpa to a different hospital for treatment, what did you do then, Uncle Dillon? You dare to say I don’t know how to treat my elders? Don’t you find yourself ridiculous now?”

When everyone heard what Nicole said, their eyes gradually became icy.

When everyone heard that, they thought he was worried about the old man, but now they thought about it, he was just waiting for Mr. Riddle Sr. to die!

Being exposed, Dillon’s veins popped up as he glared at Nicole. “I am your elder!”

Nicole did not avoid his gaze as she looked back at him with clear eyes, without any trace of fear

“So what?”

Dillon looked at Damien for help, only to find that Damien had no intention to speak up for him while Miley, too, was just looking at him as if she was watching a show.

His only wife had already left, and no one would help to speak up for him. A surge of uncontrollable rage appeared in Dillon’s heart. No one before him stood on his side, and he felt like he was being abandoned by the whole world.

He looked menacingly at Nicole, his voice extremely chilly but very low as he said, “I will make you pay for this.”

Nicole was not perturbed by his threat but instead looked on impassively at him, seeningly not taking him seriously at all.

Dillon clenched his fist as he finally slowly bent his knees.

Snow covered her mouth as she looked at this. She could not believe that Nicole dared to have Dillon kneel down before her. Raine, too looked at Nicole. If the hatred in her eyes could be materialized, she would have sliced Nicole into pieces long ago.

Yet Nicole only looked on indifferently at Dillon. His knees were already sinking downwards as his body leaned forward, and his hands down as if he had given up the struggle.

Seeing that his knees were about to hit the grown, Dillon’s lowered eyes were filled with resentment.

‘I will repay this humiliation today many times over!’

 

 

Chapter 274

Seeing this, Preston frowned slightly as he looked at Nicole with a trace of disapproval in his eyes.

Yet, just as Dillon’s knees were about to hit the ground, Nicole suddenly stretched her leg out and kicked his kneecap. She had a good measure of her strength, ensuring that he would stand up straight and the kick would not hurt his knee.

He raised his head and looked at Nicole in shock, but she had already walked back to her seat.

She had only wanted to teach Dillon a lesson and did not plan to let him really kneel before her.

She would only feel more disgusted if he really did that. On the side, both Daniel and Gloria heaved a sigh of relief, and a trace of gladness appeared in their eyes.

As expected of our daughter. She is both decisive yet measured.’ Not letting Dillon fully kneel down could be regarded as preserving his face.

Sean, Steve, and the others, too, let out a gentle sigh of relief. Although they did not agree with Uncle Dillon’s behavior, he was still their elder, and it did not feel right for them to watch him kneel down like that.

Nicole did not care what the others were thinking as she picked her fork and knife up normally and gave Damien an inquiring look. Damien was temporarily taking over Mr. Riddle Sr.’s place as he lowered his head and said,” Let’s eat.”

Damien, who had always been happy to be the presiding host, did not even mention what happened earlier at this moment.

Dillon stood there as he gave Nicole a complicated look. There was hatred, confusion, and doubt, but there was not a single shred of gratitude.

He slowly went back to his seat and said nothing as his knuckles turned white from exerting his strength.

Snow and Raine sat by his side. After seeing that scene, none of them have any appetite to eat. Yet, without knowing what Mr. Riddle Sr. was thinking, they dared not leave just like that.

Nicole ate very quickly. She was a small eater and put down her utensils not too long later. She did not plan to leave the dining table so soon. Seeing that everyone was still eating, she quietly took out her phone, put on her earpiece, and did something. Samuel, too was eating, but he could sense that she had stopped eating. He originally looked over out of concern for his little sister, yet when he saw what he saw, he almost spat the food in his mouth out.

“Oh, Nicole, you play Thrones too?” ‘And she’s playing like a noob!’ Looking at the death counter on the top of the character user interface, Samuel could not

believe his eyes

The game had only just started for five minutes, and Nicole had already died eight times in the solo lane ‘Is this the same very capable little sister of mine?’ Nicole did not say anything as she calmly controlled her sharpshooter alongside the bushes, seemingly wanting to ambush the opposing swordsman. Yet the latter simply just rushed into the bush and sent her packing with two strikes.

Seeing the death counter going from eight to nine, Nicole paused for a moment as if wanting to put her phone away. She had been losing so horribly on PC, and out of disbelief, she wanted to give the mobile version a try.

Yet, the results were the same.

After dinner, the children were all sent home first.

The only ones that remained were the elders and Nicole as they gathered before Mr. Riddle Sr.’ s bed. “Dad, is there something important you’d like to say calling all of us here?” Miley asked a little irritably.

Mr. Riddle Sr. glanced at her and said, “Indeed, I have.”

Chapter 275

His eyes then looked at Nicole. “Falling sick this time made me clearly decide that Nicole’s identity can no longer be so ambiguous. She is indeed a member of the Riddle family, and this will not be erased by any other unrelated reasons. I shall announce her identity to the outside world.”

Both Damien and Miley instantly frowned. “Dad, this is a little too sudden, isn’t it?” “Yeah, let’s wait until you recover, okay?” Miley, too, disagreed in her response. Nicole was just a country bumpkin they had found outside. If they were to announce her identity, wouldn’t that make his sons and daughters a laughingstock?

Mr. Riddle Sr. could not even be bothered with them. “I’ve already made up my mind on this matter. The two of you don’t have to say anything else.”

With that, everyone was stunned.

Both Damien, Dillon, and their wives looked at the old man in disbelief.

Both Daniel and Gloria were secretly excited as the day Mr. Riddle Sr. finally recognized Nicole had come!

Yet, Nicole’s expression did not change much as she looked at her watch and said faintly,” Grandpa, you should be resting now.”

When everyone was eating in the dining room, he too was fed a liquid diet, which meant that he had not rested until now, and she could not let him exert himself any longer.

Miley gave Nicole a disagreeing look. “Nicole, you are just a child. How can you use such an imperative tone toward your grandfather?”

She was trying to provoke Mr. Riddle Sr.’s dissatisfaction with Nicole and waiting to see her being scolded by the old man.

Yet, Mr. Riddle Sr. instead listened to Nicole. He was not only not angry, but he also nodded in agreement as well as he slowly laid down.

Nicole’s timing was impeccable. He had indeed felt a little tired and wanted to have a good rest.

Seeing him lying down, Daniel quickly covered him with a quilt.

“Dad, have a good rest. We’ll head back first.”

Seeing that, Damien, Miley, and the rest could only leave together. As the door closed, Damien looked at Daniel and his wife hogging the limelight today and felt a little irritable. Chloe did not rush back to see Mr. Riddle Sr. wake up. If she had been around, the limelight would not have been Nicole’s alone.

As he thought of this, he gave Miley a glare. This was the good daughter she raised! The daughter was only busy with work all day and not unlike a country girl who knew when to flatter someone. Everyone went downstairs. Nicole planned to go straight back to school and did not intend to stay the night at the Riddle family manor.

Seeing her in such a hurry, Daniel felt a little distress. “You really need to get a good rest once you get back tonight.”

Nicole looked at her father’s worried expression and replied softly. “I’m not tired. I still need to catch up on classes when I go back to school.” Gloria, too gave her a pained look. “You’re going back just to study?” Nicole said somewhat helplessly. “The monthly exam is soon.”

Although Mr. Riddle Sr. had agreed to declare her identity, that meant that she would become a member of the Riddle family, and she could not afford to neglect her exams.

“Then I’ll send a driver to send you back.” Seeing how serious she was, Daniel could only agree.

Nicole nodded. Seeing Gloria’s reluctant look, she pondered a little before saying. “I’ll come back often to watch Grandpa take his medicine.”

When Gloria heard her say that, she was a little more relieved. Yet, she was bound to feel a little sad seeing her daughter leaving. “Take care then.”

Soon, the chauffeurs drove the cars over. Nicole got onto one while Daniel and his wife got into another as they left.

Damien stood in Mr. Riddle Sr.’s room as he watched them leave. He then turned his eyes toward Mr. Riddle Sr., who had already fallen into a slight sleep, and his gaze became deep.
