Ch. 291..295: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 291-295
Chapter 291
Both of them turned toward Gary behind them with a look of disbelief on their faces.
"Hey, Gary, why is Nicole so talented?"
Gary’s face bore no expression as he turned and left the classroom, ignoring both Jack and Wayne.
Wayne looked at his back as he looked on quizzically at Jack.
"What’s the matter with Gary?" A thoughtful look appeared on Jack’s face as he glanced at Wayne.
The expression on his face was unclear.
Even he felt that Nicole had thoroughly surprised him, much less the extremely proud Gary.
Gary was heading outside when someone suddenly came up beside him.
It turned out that Raine came over to ask Gary out for a meal together.
Gary was walking very quickly, and Raine had to break into a jog to catch up with him as she spoke continuously.
"Gary, where are you going? Let’s look for a five-star restaurant to dine in? There are a few new restaurants opening in San Joto recently…"
Gary did not even turn back, and the indifference in his voice was palpable.
"No need."
He was not in the mood to eat.
Seeing him like this, Raine remembered what Snow said to herself.
‘Gary is acting like this because of the stress from studies.I should be more considerate of him"
When Raine thought of this, she put out a smile that she thought was empathetic as she looked even more gently at Gary.
Her voice became even sweeter as she whispered.
"Gary, is Nicole not studying hard causing you a lot of stress?"
Gary’s originally impatient expression froze for a moment as he suddenly turned toward Raine, his eyes unabashedly chilly.
"Do you know what’s the relationship between the guy in that café with Nicole?"
Raine was dumbfounded and did not know who he was talking about.
Ever since she was chased out by the server the last time she went there with Gary, she had never returned to the café.
Seeing that she did not even know who Jared Johnston was, a layer of frost seemed to appear on Gary’s face as he straight up ignored Raine and walked outside.
He immediately got into the car that came to pick him up as he ignored Raine’s calls behind him and left the Royal Creek Institute.
The chauffeur seemed to notice that Gary was in a bad mood and asked worriedly, "Master Gary, what’s the matter?"
Gary ignored him as he took out his phone and replayed the video Jimmy had uploaded to the web on repeat.
When he saw Nicole and Jared together, he squeezed his phone as if he wanted to crush it into pieces.
When the chauffeur saw it from the rear-view mirror, he clenched the steering wheel nervously.
The young master had been difficult to get along with since young, and now when he was about to get angry, he looked even more terrifying.
He hurriedly stepped on the accelerator as he muttered to himself that he must get back as soon as possible.
Only Master Ryder could control him when Master Gary is on a temper tantrum.
After entering the Finley family manor, he ignored the chauffeur who had scurried away as Gary headed straight toward Ryder, who was sitting on the sofa looking at something before him in a daze.
He did not care about his brother’s odd behavior as he handed the footage on the phone in his hand over.
"Do you know this person?" He then asked coldly.
Chapter 292
Ryder saw that familiar figure on the screen and raised his eyebrows in surprise.He put away the thing in his hand as he looked at Gary, his voice a little unnerved.
"Why would you ask about him?"
Seeing his expression, Gary knew that Ryder must know about this man.He was not in the mood to beat around the bush and said bluntly, "You don’t have to bother about that.Just tell me who he is."
Ryder looked at his younger brother and frowned a little.
"He is that young master that is the most favored by Mr.Johnston Sr, and also the boss of JJ Johnston Group."
‘WHAT! Gary thought that Jared was just a scion of a lowly family and was just fooling around with that pretty face of his.
He totally did not expect Jared to have such a background!
‘How did Nicole get to know such people!’ Thinking of this, Gary’s expression turned solemn, yet Ryder did not notice it.
He looked at the girl beside Jared in the footage as a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
‘Why does this girl look so familiar?’
After thinking for a good while, he slapped his thighs as he said, "Wasn’t she the girl that Christo Rogers invited in personally?"
Gary looked at his elder brother.
His entire expression had changed.
Christo Rogers was Mr.Rogers Sr.that he knew.
‘However, isn’t Nicole a village girl? Why is Mr.Rogers Sr.giving her such treatment?’ Gary thought he would be better off not asking his brother because he was even more confused after doing so.
He looked at Ryder and whispered, "Ryder, you’re sure you didn’t mistake her for someone else?"
Ryder gave Gary a miffed look.
"I still don’t need reading glasses yet; I won’t mistake one person for another at the very least!"
After that, he looked at his little brother as he said with surprise.
"What’s the matter with you? Why is your face so grim?"
Gary shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
Ryder did not pay much attention to that as his eyes remained affixed to the footage on Gary’s phone as he muttered to himself, "I did not expect her to still be at Mr.Jared’s side, is he for real?"
"That young lady from the Rogers family will not be easy to deal with" He thought.
Gary took his phone back from Ryder as he looked at the latter with a trace of determination in his eyes.
"Ryder, I need you to do me a favor." Ryder was taken aback.
He had rarely seen his baby brother ask a favor from him like that.
Gary had always been independent and had a mind of his own.
This was the first time he wanted to use the help of the family.
"Gary, what is it?"
Gary looked at Ryder as he simply flicked his finger across the screen and closed the video as he said, "I want all of the information about the girl you saw just now."
"Can you do that?"
With his current ability, achieving that was rather difficult, but his brother might be able to do Ryder was stunned for a moment as he totally did not expect his baby brother to make such a request.
As he heard the question, his face brightened as he said.
"What’s so difficult about that? I’ll go get someone to investigate.I’ll let you know as soon as I get something."
When Gary saw him agree, he heaved a sigh of relief.He then turned around and walked upstairs with an inexplicable air of despondency about him.
Chapter 293
Ryder looked at his baby brother with a strange look in his eyes.He called the chauffeur over as he squinted his eyes and asked, "Tell me everything that had happened to Gary in school lately."
Just as Nicole was just about to sit down in the cafeteria and order her meal, a vibration came from her phone.She looked on with some puzzlement and found it turned out to be a message from Stanley.
He said that Gloria had prepared her a meal, and he was already waiting for her downstairs at her dormitory and wanted her to quickly come and take it.
Nicole looked at her seat, which was barely even warm, as she sighed and walked out.
Along the way, she encountered a lot of strange stares.She ignored them as she walked toward the dormitory block. Even when she was a distance away, she could see Stanley standing beneath the cherry blossom tree.
He was wearing a white shirt; his entire temperament was immaculate.
Around him were many girls pretending to be passing by but actually taking a peek at him, hoping that he would look back at them.
Stanley was not only handsome; he was also the president of the student council of the Royal Creek Institute and was the sweetheart in the dreams of many a girl in school.
Yet, Stanley did not notice these girls secreting watching him, and when he saw Nicole walking lazily toward him, only then did a smile appear.
He did not wait for Nicole to walk toward him but instead quickly went over in her direction.
When the girls in that direction saw Stanley smiling and walking in their direction, they were on fire as they looked shyly at Stanley.
The affection in their eyes was palpable.
Yet it was like throwing a wink to the blind.
Stanley ignored them as he walked to his little sister.
He handed the thermos container to her as he smiled.
"Mom said that she saw your complexion pale yesterday, so she prepared this soul for you.You must finish it."
Nicole looked at the thermos container, and although she bore no expression, Stanley could inexplicably sense a rejection from her.He could not help but let out a smile as he patted her on the head.He said softly to her, "Be good, Nicole, Listen to us.Your health is the most important."
Taste and what else are all secondary.
Nicole looked at his caring eyes and took the thermos container somewhat helplessly.
She had soup last night, this morning, and now in the afternoon too? However, it was the Mom and Stanley’s kindness, so Nicole had no reason to refuse as he said softly to Stanley.
"Thank you."
Stanley looked at him, and a trace of warmth appeared on his face as he said, "What are you thanking me for? We are family."
He then thought for a while before saying, "Mom asked us to bring you back tonight.What are your plans?"
Nicole pondered for a bit and said, "I might have something to do at night.Don’t worry, I’ll go back myself."
Stanley knew that she always had secrets, so he did not ask.
After a few more reminders to take care of herself and to drink the soup, he then bade her goodbye.
Many saw the intimate behavior between the two, and many girls were so jealous they turned green with envy.
‘What was going on? Is this woman not content to seduce Harvey? She is even after the president?’ ‘How many men does she wants around her before she stops?!’ Many girls angrily took pictures of this scene and uploaded them to the school forum.
Casting aspersions against Nicole aside, they even questioned if Jimmy had uploaded a fake video.
‘‘Nicole clearly has a problemàtic character!’’ Many had originally changed their view about Nicole after watching Jimmy’s video, yet when they saw this set of photos, they immediately lit up like a powder keg.
Chapter 294
Seeing Stanley patting Nicole on the heart, with the doting look in his eyes, many of the girls that were obsessed with him gritted their teeth with hatred.
And once again, the school forum exploded.
When Snow saw the rumors going around the web, her lips curled a little as a gleeful look appeared in her eyes.
‘‘Even that useless Jimmy ng longer wants to help her, Nicole is destined to never turn things around" she thought.
Nicole had no idea that her relationship with Stanley had been misunderstood once again.
She carried the rather large thermos container toward her dorm room, and just as she got to the third floor and was about to take a turn, a hand suddenly stretched out and pushed toward her.
A glint appeared in Nicole’s eyes as she leaned slightly sideways to dodge the push.
She then stretched her empty hand out as she grabbed the other party’s ill-intentioned hand and pulled it using the latter’s momentum.
"AHH!"
The girl did not expect Nicole to react so quickly, and she was not prepared at all as she was dragged onto her knees in the middle of the stairs, tears coming out at the sudden pain.
Nicole looked coldly at her, her gaze impassive.
She grabbed onto the thermos container and continued her way up, ignoring these troublemakers.She assumed that kneeling would cause the girl to wake up.
Yet, what came behind her was the girl’s extremely resentful voice.
"Nicole, are you only content after seducing every single man in school?!" Nicole looked at the girl.
She was quite good-looking, with very decent features, yet before Nicole’s delicate and immaculate features, she seemed very inadequate.
The girl, too, had realized this.
Comparing her appearance that she was proud of against Nicole was like rubbing her face against mud, her self-esteem totally shattered.
She looked at Nicole with even more hatred.
Nicole was totally impassive as she asked somewhat quizzically, "I wonder which eye of yours saw me seducing a man."
When the girl saw her like this, she was sure that Nicole was deliberately provoking her.
She was so pissed off that she lost all control as she yelled, "Don’t you gloat at me here! You’re only just a pretty face! I’ll ruin that face of yours sooner or later, and I’ll make you experience what it is hell on earth!"
If her push were to land, the shattered thermos container and the hot soup would have definitely ruined Nicole’s face.
Yet Nicole was so skilled and straight-up dodged the attack! Thinking of this, the girls’ eyes radiated resentment.
Nicole’s gaze slowly turned chilly as she did not give the girl another look as she turned away and continued to walk upstairs.
She had no time to waste with this kind of unreasonable person.
Moreover, Stanley had told her to drink the soup while it was still hot.
Nicole went back to her dormitory without much of an expression on her face.
When she got in, she heard Lulu smashing the keyboard as she typed.
When the latter heard the sound and turned around to find Nicole, her eyes lit up.
"Nicole, you’re back! I bought for you some super delicious dishes!"
Nicole looked at Lulu and nodded as the chill in her eyes slowly faded away.
‘Now, this is a cute girl" she thought.
She placed the thermos container on the table and looked at Lulu’s combative mood somewhat quizzically as she asked, "What are you doing?"
Seeing her walk over, Lulu angrily showed Nicole the pictures and those unsightly comments on her computer as she said.
"They are running their mouths like that, not knowing that you are a member of the Riddle family! This pisses me off!"
When Nicole saw Lulu struggle to speak up for her, she smiled as she opened the thermos container.
The rich aroma immediately wasted out, drawing Lulu’s entire attention.She could not help but look over.
Although her eyes were still on the computer, her soul had already floated into the thermos container.
Chapter 295
"Woah, what Stanley gave you, Nicole? This is just way too fragrant!"
Nicole looked at the chicken soup inside the thermos container, and then at Lulu’s eager eyes, she chuckled.
"Haven’t you eaten already?"
It’s water at most.
Who said I cannot drink soup after having my meal?
"Nicole felt that she had a point, so she raised her eyebrow and hooked her fingers at Lulu."Come, let’s drink it together."
Lulu laughed happily as she immediately pounced at Nicole and exclaimed, "Nicole, you’re the best!"
Nicole looked at the roasted lamb rack Lulu brought back on the table; a surge of warmth flowed across her heart.
The two were eating slowly as Lulu suddenly said to Nicole, "Nicole.Thank you."
Nicole looked at her as Lulu gently stirred the soup in her bowl and finished it in one gulp before looking up.
Nicole, however, saw the faint tears in her eyes, ‘What was going on?’ Seeing that Nicole was worried, Lulu smiled at her as she whispered.
"If it weren’t for you, I would no longer have a brother."
‘Is Lulu’s brother Jimmy?’ She did not expect Jimmy to be Lulu’s brother.
What a coincidence.
Lulu immediately wiped off the tears in her eyes as she looked a little embarrassed.
"I don’t know how to thank you.How about my brother and I treat you to a meal?"
But when Lulu recalled that Nicole was a member of the Riddle family, she had no need for Lulu to treat her to a meal.
Seeing Lulu being a little down, Nicole gently patted her on the shoulder.
"I should be the one treating you for a meal with how you’re fighting for me online."
Lulu looked at Nicole in surprise.
She did not seem to expect Nicole to say something like this, but when she looked at the latter in the eyes, when she saw the gentleness that was different from her cold exterior, she slowly relaxed.
Lulu then whispered, "Okay."
After the two were done eating, she did not forget that Jared had asked her to go to the café, so she immediately left for the calé, It was also a good opportunity to check up on Austin and the rest’s homework as well.
She sent Austin a message, and seemingly recalling something, she pulled out that black phone that had not been used for a long while as she calmly sent something over.
There was no response, and Nicole was not in a hurry, so she walked on slowly.
When she got close to the café, she saw Austin and the others waving excitedly at her, causing many girls beside him to cast a contemptuous gaze over her.
Yet, due to Austin’s presence, none of them dared to say anything.
Nicole got into the café, and Austin immediately bellowed, "Boss, where have you been these past few days? We missed you!"
Sammey, too was excited as he nodded alongside Austin.
Looking at the few of them, a smile appeared as Nicole said, "I went on a trip."
Seeing the expression of the few at a loss for words, the smile in Nicole’s eyes grew deeper.
"Come, let’s go.Let me see how is your study progress while I was not around."
Austin and the others did not panic at all.
They had been diligently revising for the past few days and had thoroughly digested what Nicole had taught them.
The group then went upstairs, and the atmosphere was joyous.
