Ch. 301..305: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 301-305
Chapter 301
Raine too, seemed to have realized it as she looked at Snow and indicated that she understood her meaning with her eyes.
Snow then put her hand down as Raine whispered, "Snow, if the misunderstanding between Stanley and Nicole has been resolved, doesn’t that mean…"
‘’All of their plans were all for nothing?’’
"What’s that damn Norah doing? Why can’t she control her brothers?"
Norah was badmouthing about Nicole to them the whole day long back then, and they thought Nicole had no standing in the family.
And now everything was clear, with Stanley and the others stating their position, both Snow and Raine can no longer do as they please anymore.
After all, trying to act against Nicole meant making enemies out of the five Riddle brothers.
All of them were popular figures in both the high school and university departments.
If Snow and Raine were not careful, they might get harassed by their fans until they might not be able to come to school out of shame.
Snow then sighed.
"Let’s just set out plans aside for a moment and wait for this storm to pass first."
Raine could only nod.
Just as the two were getting up to leave, the people around them recognized the sisters as they crowded over.They asked with both curiosity and disbelief,"Snow, is Nicole really your sister?"
The smile on Snow’s face froze.
When she thought of Nicole, that country bumpkin, being mentioned in the same sentence as her, she felt uncomfortable.
Yet she still withstood that as she answered.
"She’s just a cousin."
Implicitly, that meant that she and Nicole were not close.
Raine nodded as well, yet those people still continued to question them.
"Since you are family, then why is there news about Nicole bullying you? Why is she bullying you? We really want to know."
Snow found it difficult to maintain her facade, and upon seeing that, Raine quickly interjected, "Shouldn’t you guys be asking Nicole why is she bullying my sister? Nicole’s from the countryside and is totally uncouth! Why aren’t you lot looking for her instead of troubling us here?"
The group felt that she had a point and stopped asking.
Snow took the opportunity to say to the group surrounding her and Raine, "Everyone, we still have something to attend to and will take our leave first."
After that, she ignored the crowd as she pulled Raine away and left.
With her back facing the crowd, Snow’s expression was livid.
‘That Nicole was nothing but a mutt from the countryside!’ ‘How can she be compared to me!’
Thinking of how Harvey had treated her, Snow was so angry she squeezed Raine’s hand hard.
Raine felt pain as Snow’s grip got tighter.
She immediately said, "Snow, my hand hurts!"
Only then did Snow realize it as she turned around gently.
She placed Raine’s hand on her palm and massaged it.
She then said, "I got lost in my thoughts just now, sorry.How’re things going between you and Gary?"
Raine shook her wrist, and when she heard Snow mentioning Gary, her dissatisfaction in her was about to overflow.
"I’m not sure what he is busy with every day.He has not been taking my call, and that day when I went to his class to look for him, he only asked me a question about Nicole before leaving.I couldn’t even stop him for a second!"
As she said that, a look of hatred flashed past Raine’s eyes.
‘It was all because of Nicole!’ Snow could tell from Raine’s expression that her little sister’s relationship was not going well with Gary.
She comfortingly patted Raine’s hand as they got into the car sent from the Riddle family, and soon they were heading out of school.
Just at this moment, Raine noticed a familiar-looking luxury car.
However, they had sped past it.
After she rubbed her eyes, the car was already out of her sight.
‘Am I seeing things?’ The logo on the car belonged to the same car that Mr.Rogers Sr.had sat when he came to the Riddle family manor to look for someone!
Chapter 302
‘‘What was the Rogers family car doing in the Royal Creek Institute?’’ Raine turned around, and just as she was about to tell Snow about her discovery, she suddenly saw the thing her sister was fiddling with.
Her eyes were immediately drawn to it! It was an extremely brilliant pink diamond, nearly three centimeters in diameter! Raine had already forgotten about the car logo as she leaned close to Snow and wanted to get a better look at the diamond.
Snow, however, frowned as she put the diamond away.
Raine watched enviously as the diamond was put into an ordinary black box by her elder sister.
She looked up at Snow as she said in a pleading tone, "What is that, Snow? Can you let me have another look?"
Snow, however, ignored her request as she said flatly, "It’s a gift from Harvey."
‘Sure enough!’ The Riddle family would not give Snow such a good diamond, and even the necklace Karen had given Snow only had point eight of a diamond.
It was totally incomparable to the diamond just now! ‘How can a grain of rice compete with the sun and moon?’
‘‘And also, Snow’s boyfriend was, after all, Harvey Ellison"
Thinking of this, Raine was even more envious.
Gary, too can produce such a gift, but he had never given her anything, and she knew he did not recognize her at all.
Raine looked on admiringly at Snow, "Snow, can you teach me once we get back how did you get Harvey to treat you so well?"
‘I, too, want Gary to treat me like that!’ Snow glanced at her little sister and did not tell her that Harvey was being very ambiguous toward her as well.
She simply just smiled proudly and nodded.
"Just look, with this diamond alone, Raine thinks that Harvey is treating me very well"
‘How can he abandon me?’ Snow managed to persuade herself.
After arriving at the Riddle family manor, she immediately went to her room and took out the diamond to store it properly as she prepared to take it to a jewelry store to process it when she had time.
Back in school, in Class A of the eleventh grade, Norah was about to go crazy.
She had not returned home for the past two days and did not know that Mr.Riddle Sr.
had already permitted everyone at home to proclaim Nicole’s identity.
She then heard her elder brothers suddenly announcing their relationship with Nicole, and they were all protecting her! Where does that put her, the original little sister, now? Sure enough, after class and during break time, someone came over to ask Norah.
"Norah… Stanley and Samuel said that Nicole was their little sister.How about you then? Is Nicole your little sister too?"
Everyone did not expect another daughter to appear in the Riddle family, so the only thing they could think of was Nicole was most likely Norah’s little sister…"
"Ugh… yes.She was kidnapped and sold when she was young, and we only recently found her in the countryside and brought her back."
Norah said, omitting the fact that she was the fake daughter instead.
"Is that so? From the countryside, huh? No wonder she is so uncouth."
A disdainful look immediately appeared on the faces of the surrounding students when they heard that.
Norah immediately pretended to explain.
"Sorry, I didn’t make it clear to you all because I didn’t want to get implicated alongside her.After all, you’ve seen it for yourselves.The moment she came here, she caused a lot of havoc…"
When they heard this, everyone stood on Norah’s side.
"We understand."
"If I’d to be ashamed if I had a little sister like that."
"Yeah… she’s just so… uncouth."
Someone said angrily, but before the person could finish the sentence, another voice interjected.
"Lower your voice! Now that the Riddle brothers have already put out a statement, you want to go and apologize to Nicole?"
Now, no one dared to talk ill about Nicole, so they simply just returned to their seats.
When Norah saw the people that would bitch about Nicole with her, not daring to say anything more about Nicole, she was furious! ‘Nicole, if you think you can turn things around just like that…’
Chapter 303
Chapter 303: Dream on!
‘As long as I’m a daughter of the Riddle family!’
No one knew what Norah was thinking.
After school, Nicole went to the café, as usual, to provide tutoring to Austin and the others.
Upon going through their homework, she gave them a somewhat satisfied nod.
“Your revision is going great. It looks like you guys weren’t stupid, just that you weren’t studying.” After tutoring them for the past dozen days, Nicole found out that they were all smart students but were simply just too playful.
After receiving a rare compliment, a clear look of joy appeared on the faces of Austin and the others. Austin patted his chest as he guffawed.
“Well, because of who my boss is!”.
Everyone, too, joined in the laughter. A smile too appeared in Nicole’s eyes as she looked at her watch and said, “I should be going.”
It was time to go back to look after Mr. Riddle Sr. taking his medicine, so it was better for her to head home to supervise that.
Austin and the others nodded as they packed their things up. The few people said their goodbyes outside the café as Nicole then slowly walked toward the school gate.
She had something in her mind, but it was not reflected on her face at all.She had already sent out a message, yet there was still no news about the silver fragment.
Nicole had reached the school gate by then and ignored the weird glances coming her way.
‘It seems like everyone looking at me is acting somewhat strangely today.’
Nicole pondered about this with a blank expression. She did not know that Stanley and the others had kicked up a storm in school. Yet, just as she got to the school gate, she saw two bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses standing there. Nicole then frowned. At that moment, the muscular man in a black suit spoke.
“Miss Nicole Riddle, right? Our master wishes to see you, so come with us!” Nicole then took a peek at the car behind them and immediately understood what was going on.
‘The Rogers family, huh.’ She gently frowned as a tinge of irritability colored her voice.
“Not going.”
They have never met such an uncooperative before. They had gotten orders from Christo Rogers and drove to the Royal Creek institute with his personal vehicle to pick Nicole up. They thought that she would have gotten into the car with trepidation, but who knew she would straight up refuse! Remembering Mr. Rogers Sr.’s orders, they gritted their teeth.
“Sorry about this!”
“They actually want to get physical?’
Nicole raised her eyebrows, and a chilly glint appeared in her eyes as she quietly watched the two before her without moving.
At this moment, a faint voice came behind her.
“I’ll send you back.”
Nicole turned around and saw Jared walking toward her with a smile on his face as he straight up ignored the two men there. A smile, too, appeared in Nicole’s eyes.
The two bodyguards walked over with a solemn look on their faces. As members of the Rogers family, how could they not know Jared? ‘But why was he here?’
Recalling Mr. Rogers Sr.’s orders, one of the men gritted his teeth and walked forward as he bowed respectfully at Jared.
“Mr. Jared, Mr. Rogers Sr. has a need for her. Please do not make this difficult for us…”
Chapter 304
Jared did not even deign to look at the two as his eyes were affixed to Nicole.
Nicole, too, looked at him as she ignored the two men behind her and walked toward him.
When Jared saw her movements, the smile on his face deepened.
How could the two men just watch as Nicole leave like that? They stepped forward and wanted to grab Nicole by her hand, yet Nicole seemed to have eyes at the back of her head as she deftly avoided that with a shake of her shoulder.
As he watched the two men’s movement, a cold glint appeared in Jared’s eyes. Seeing that they were still coming forward, he tossed the car key in his hand at the two, hitting the first under the ribs before rebounding to the second, hitting the person in his waist.
Although he may look like he did not use much strength, the two fell to the ground in pain.
Nicole watched his movements, and a look of appreciation appeared in her eyes.
‘Using your opponent’s strength against himself. That’s the greatest attainment in martial arts.’
Jared walked to the two of them as he bent over gently to pick up the car key, his voice flat.
“My hands slipped.” The two were squirming in pain and froze the moment they heard Jared’s words. Immediately after, they rolled even more in a frenzy. Yet, what could they do when their livers were already so painful from the anger? Jared ignored them as he walked toward Nicole. His entire person looked extremely carefree. Nicole, too heard what Jared said as her eyes squinted a little, revealing a misty glint within them.
He did not say much as he blinked at Nicole.
“Get in the car.” Immediately after, he got into the driver’s seat as Nicole got into opened the door of the co-driver seat and got in.
Jared looked at her smooth movements as he smiled. He quickly started the car as Nicole’s somewhat cold yet alluring voice came from the side.
“Thank you. Nice throw there.”
The two paid no attention to the screams of the two bodyguards behind them. Jared gave Nicole a glance, and there was an almost imperceptible gentleness in his voice.
“Sit tight.”
He slowly stepped on the accelerator, yet the car launched like an arrow and very quickly left the Rogers family car behind.
Looking at the speed from a single step of the accelerator, one could tell that this black car was many times better than those sports cars worth tens of millions.
The bodyguards looked at the black car and clutched their ribs as they quickly got back into their car and drove back to the Rogers family manor.
With Shawn’s help, Mr. Rogers Sr. slowly sat down. He got a little anxious waiting, and his temper turned grumpy, so much so that his attitude toward Shawn was nothing but impatience.
“Enough, you don’t have to accompany me anymore. See if they have brought her here or not.
Shawn could see his anxiety and did not say much as he let go and said, “Dad, calm down. They should be back soon understand how Dad is feeling now, right?”\
Chapter 305
Shawn nodded as he looked down. Mr. Rogers Sr. did not notice the faint mockery in his eyes and thought that he did not mind his rough language earlier. Thus he liked this son even more in his heart.
He got Shawn to sit on the sofa beside him as he looked on anxiously in the direction of the main door.
Just as Mr. Rogers Sr. wanted to get up to go to the door, the main door of the manor was opened as the two men he sent hurriedly walked in.
Mr. Rogers Sr. looked over with some agitation, yet when he saw no one behind them, his entire expression turned icy.
“Give me a good reason. Why didn’t you two bring Nicole back?” The two bodyguards looked at his terrifying expression, and even the muscular-looking man’s voice trembled as he spoke.
“We wanted to bring Miss Riddle over, but we ran into Mr. Johnston.”
‘‘Mr. Johnston?’
‘Which Mr. Johnston?’ The bodyguard said cautiously, “The very person you told us that we cannot afford to offend.”
Mr. Rogers Sr.’s expression immediately changed. He recalled Jared had left with Nicole during his birthday banquet. He had already started being suspicious about their relationship since then.
He did not expect Jared was still being ambiguous with Nicole.
In fact, after the Johnston family drew a distance away from the Riddle family, the Riddle family had never announced to the outside world that they had arranged a marriage between two babies.
Even Mr. Riddle Sr. dared not mention this, so that was why when Nicole wanted out of the arrangement, Jared simply just went along. After all, the two families were too far apart now.
Therefore, very few people in the outside world knew that the two had a marriage arrangement. Mr. Rogers Sr. squinted his pair of darkened eyes. He slowly made his way to the two bodyguards with a strange look on his face. The two were so afraid they dared not move and could only let Mr. Rogers Sr. look at them as if he was picking goods.
After circling around them twice, he stood before them as he suddenly let out a faint smile. Just as the two breathed a sigh of relief, each of them was met with a slap across the face.
Shawn stood aside with lowered gaze as he watched Mr. Rogers Sr. venting his temper as he took up his walking stick and hit the two hard at the bend of their knees.
The solid pear wood walking stick was no joke. With just the two hits, the legs of both of them went weak as they almost fell onto the ground. Mr. Rogers Sr. panted in exhaustion as he cursed at them. “Useless! The two of you, useless!”
When Shawn saw them still standing there, he frowned a little as he hissed. “Why are the two of you still standing there?”
When they heard Shawn’s voice, it was as if they were receiving some sort of salvation. They could not care less about their swollen faces or their weak legs as they quickly scurried out.
Shawn quickly walked to Mr. Rogers Sr.’s side as he gently patted the latter on the back, helping him to calm down. Mr. Rogers Sr. grabbed Shawn’s hand as he let out a long sigh. His voice was finally filled with the powerlessness and vicissitudes of an old man.
“Shawn, tell me, why is it so difficult for a person to want to live?” A glint appeared in Shawn’s eyes as he let out a faint smile and said somewhat impassively,” Dad, you’ll definitely live a long life.”
This was both ambiguous yet sincere at the same time. Mr. Rogers Sr. ignored Shawn’s avoidance of his question. He knew his body very well.
He had already finished the medicine Nicole had given him, and he actually felt that he was getting weaker by the day as if something was slicing at his heart. He had already seen many doctors, at home and abroad, and Nicole may very well be his last hope.
Nicole may very likely hold clues to that mysterious overseas doctor with her. The reason he was so obsessed with her was that he wanted to get those clues from her.
Yet now, as he looked at his two hands, Mr. Rogers Sr. felt an unprecedented sense of frustration.
