Ch. 306..310: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 306-310
Chapter 306
Mr. Rogers Sr. walked someone tiredly toward his room. Shawn wanted to follow but was stopped by Mr. Rogers Sr.
“I want some quiet time by myself.”
When he heard this, Shawn immediately stopped. As he looked at Mr. Rogers Sr.’s figure gradually disappearing into the dim corridor, Shane turned to look at the dusk outside the manor as a cold smile appeared on his face.
The time is nigh. The old man could be really old, and he is extremely fearful. He had done everything in his power to extend his life.
So much so that he could not even see through Christopher’s tricks. But that Nicole… Shawn had never seen such a person who didn’t give the Rogers family any face. However, she was still someone of high birth, so she might have some level of conceit to her.
When Shawn thought of this, he snorted as he took the skin-colored gloves off his hand and tossed them into the dustbin with disgust.
The old man’s will has already been changed. He only needed to entertain him with this faux filial piety for a while longer than he could see him off. Jared sent Nicole back to the Riddle family manner, and before getting off, he gently grabbed her wrist.
“Are you heading back after this?”
Nicole had no idea that the person who almost tracked down her IP, the person that she had been so on guard against, was before her. She paused for a moment and then nodded.
She had no plans to stay the night at the Riddle manor.
Oddly enough, when a person grabbed her wrist, she would smack the person silly by conditioned reflex, yet when Jared grabbed her wrist, she showed no signs of struggle at all. Even Nicole herself felt a little incredulous. Jared’s lips curled upwards as he heard that. His face, while basking in the twilight, had an irresistible charm to it.
“I’ll pick you up later then?” Nicole paused for a moment as she turned and looked at Jared with puzzlement on her face.
” Aren’t you busy?” Jared’s smile paused as he slowly let her go and started to doubt himself.
‘Am I not handsome enough?’
‘Why is Nicole always so resistant to me.’
Nicole looked at his expression with a smile in her eyes. She grabbed Jared’s hand and
His eyes immediately lit up as he looked firmly at her. As if he saw through the shallow facade in her eyes, a half-smile gradually appeared on his face. “You did that on purpose?”
Nicole looked at him, his eyes gleaming bright like clear lake water in autumn. It may look cold, but her lips subconsciously formed a shallow arc.
That was exclusive only for him. Jared looked back at her in the eyes, and as he saw himself in her clear, bright eyes, his mood inexplicably became much better.
“Go in then. I’ll wait for you.” Nicole nodded, and just as she opened the door, she found out that three big mushrooms had sprouted by the Riddle manor’s main gate.
Both Samuel and Spencer were looking at Nicole somewhat begrudgingly while Stanley massaged his chin. His eyes were deep as he looked at Jared. He had already walked close earlier, and if she still did not come down, he was prepared to knock on the car window.
Jared’s car was so heavily tinted that they could not see what was going on inside the car at all! Stanley’s gaze toward Jared was somewhat unfriendly, yet when he turned to Nicole, it became very mellow.
“Nicole, what took you so long?” They had planned to come back home to pay Mr. Riddle Sr. a visit after school, yet no one expected Nicole to be so late.
Chapter 307
Nicole looked at her brothers expressionlessly and closed the car door, blocking their view of Jared, then walked ahead into the mansion.
“I’m sorry for being late.I bumped into someone on my way here.”
Questions filled Samuel’s head, and he could not help asking, “Was Jared the one who sent you back?”
Nicole nodded.
She glanced casually at Samuel and froze, then strode toward him.
“Who did this?” she said with an unconcealable, bitter voice.
Samuel’s black eyes were conspicuous, and it was apparent that he had been punched.
When Nicole got angry, she looked intimidating.
Samuel was transfixed for a second before he realized she was asking about his face.
Samuel looked at his two brothers bitterly before courageously pointing at them.
“It was them.Nicole followed his finger with a strange look on her face.
“It was they who hit you?” Samuel was pointing at none other than Stanley and Spencer, nodding his head vigorously.
He knew what Nicole was capable of; she was the martial art champion in the country, more than capable of fixing Harvey.
“Yes, it was for Stanley that I was hit.Avenge me, Nicole.”
“For Stanley?” Nicole looked at Stanley suspiciously.
“What the hell was going on?” Stanley sighed and told her exactly what had happened.
Nicole listened and was surprised because Harvey had an argument with her brothers because of her.
She looked at her three brothers, who were beaten black and blue, and felt sorry for them.Her brothers did not know what she was doing, which was entirely normal.So she thought Harvey should not be so nosy.
But after knowing that her brothers had finally gone to the radio station to clarify the matter, her voice became soft.
“In fact, I don’t really care what they say, but I really thank you all.”.
For the first time in her life, there were so many people standing up for her.
No wonder when she returned to school and so many eyes looking at her, but none of them were hostile like before.
Looking gratefully at her brothers, Nicole stepped forward and gave each of them a gentle hug.
“Thank you for everything,” she said.
Samuel was the last person whom Nicole held.He was transfixed, not even knowing where to put his hands.
His sister felt like a soft, warm cloud gently fell into his arms.He did not dare to touch her for fear that his uncouthness would break his sister.
If Nicole had known about what Samuel thought, she would have burst into laughter.
She was the one who tried to be as gentle as possible, afraid that she would break him and the others.
Spencer looked at Samuel’s reaction and mocked him, saying, “What’s wrong with you? You look almost like a cripple.So much for a sports talent.”
As Nicole let go of Samuel, he then said angrily to the others, “I was just afraid to break my little sister.”
Indeed.
He was fearful of her breaking her because he thought she was fragile.
Everyone could not help but laugh as they all shared the same thought.
Seeing them laughing at him, Samuel became anxious.
“What are you all laughing at? Aren’t you all also siscons?”
Chapter 308
Smiles faded from their faces as they all were embarrassed upon hearing what Samuel said.
There was no denying that after Nicole returned to the family, they all became siscons, through and through.
They had never treated Norah like this before.
They could not help it.
A biological sister was a biological sister-it was different.
Spencer hesitated for a moment and said, “We have gotten back our long-lost sister; of course, we will pamper her.”
He looked up at Nicole with light in his eyes and continued.
“I’m proud to be a siscon.”
Samuel shared his emotions and quickly nodded.
“Me too!”
Unlike others, Stanley’s reaction was nothing over the top, but he still fully understood this feeling.He walked over and put his arm around Stanley and Spencer’s shoulders.
“Okay, we’re all the same.”
They were not the only ones; he found that Sean and Steve’s attitude had also changed to becoming much gentler with Nicole.
Feeling the love of her brothers, there was an indescribable emotion in her eyes.
Nicole could feel their love and concern for her.
It was a warm feeling that she had never experienced before.
She looked at Samuel and others with affection.
“Thank you so much.It’s good to have you all.“
They may not fight as well as she did, but they were genuine and willing to do whatever for her.
It felt so good to have a family.
They all finally calmed down and walked into the house together.
Nicole first went straight to Mr. Riddle Sr.’s room.
As she opened the door, she saw Daniel by the bed.
Daniel did not leave last night.
He and Gloria had been staying at the mansion the entire night.
Meanwhile, Damien was probably still at work and had not returned.
There was a look of surprise in Daniel’s eyes when he saw Nicole.
“You’re here.” Nicole nodded.
She asked Daniel to help Mr. Riddle Sr. to sit up and then fed the other half of the pill to Mr. Riddle Sr. and picked up a glass of water on the bedside table so he could swallow the pill with water.
Daniel watched on.
When he saw his daughter doing all this like she had been doing it for the thousandth time, he asked curiously, “Did you study medicine before?”
Nicole continued what she was doing while saying in a calm voice, “I was interested in medicine.So I taught myself.”
Daniel nodded knowingly, with a sense of relief in his eyes.
Mr. Riddle Sr., who had said nothing so far, looked at Nicole with some surprise but was soon relieved.
Daniel used to like medicine.
If not because of his health, he would have probably become a doctor in San Joto.Mr. Riddle Sr.regretted the thought of this.
For good measure, Nicole used a small needle and injected a drug into the vein on the inside of
Mr. Riddle Sr.’s elbow before gently laying him flat on the bed.
As she turned around to leave, Daniel called out anxiously, “You’re leaving just like this?”
At first.Mr. Riddle Sr. could not let his ego down to look at Nicole.
But when he heard Nicole was leaving, there was no time for him to think.
He spun his head around to look at her as if he could not bear to see her go.
Nicole was unruffled and waved at Daniel.
“I’m going to see my mother.”
Thinking of the soup that Gloria sent to her at noon today, Daniel just looked a little not too happy, but her mother was so anxious.
She had never enjoyed such meticulous care from her adoptive mother last time.
Daniel nodded in acknowledgment.
As Nicole turned around to leave, Mr. Riddle Sr. became desperate.
He said to Daniel, “You leave the room first.I have something to talk to Nicole about in private.”
Chapter 309
Daniel was surprised by Mr. Riddle Sr.’s request, but he quickly nodded in agreement and called out, “Wait a minute, Nicole.Your grandpa wants to have a few words with you.”
Nicole was stopped in her tracks upon hearing that.
Daniel left the room, leaving plenty of room for the two of them.
Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole from behind and sighed softly.
“Come over, Nicole,” he said with no hesitation.
Nicole turned her head and looked at Mr. Riddle Sr. with clear, cold eyes.She knew that Mr. Riddle Sr. was semi-conscious during the operation.
So he probably knew that she was the one who had operated on him.
“Grandpa, you should take a good rest.” She was not a person who likes to take credit for everything, so she did not want Mr. Riddle Sr.’s thanking her.
“Am I embarrassing you now?” Mr. Riddle Sr. pretended to be angry.
Nicole had no choice but to go up to him.
“I’ve never felt that way, Grandpa.Even though you still don’t know me well, we are always a family.” This was the reason she saved Mr. Riddle Sr.
Knowing that she was so sensible, Mr. Riddle Sr.suddenly felt ashamed of himself.
He nodded his head gently and said, “You’re truly Daniel’s lovely daughter and my precious granddaughter.” Earlier, when he saw Nicole was self-motivated, he started to change his mind about her
and supported her in taking part in the competition.
Now it seemed that he was right.
Getting complimented by Mr. Riddle Sr., Nicole’s expression softened.
“It is my honor for Grandpa to admit that I’m your granddaughter.”
Before coming back, she was not expecting Mr. Riddle Sr. to have accepted her so quickly.
Mr. Riddle Sr looked at Nicole.
Instead of asking if she was the one who cured him, he looked her in the eyes and said slowly and clearly, “Please convey my gratitude to the surgeon who operated on me.I, Benjamin, will never forget that.”
Nicole looked at Mr. Riddle Sr. and knew that he was helping her hide her identity.
She appeared nonchalant, but the light in her eyes was extremely bright.
She looked back and nodded at Mr. Riddle Sr., whose usually stony countenance had gradually softened.
“I will,” she said. Mr. Riddle Sr.looked thankful and emotional when he heard Nicole’s reply.
Nicole quickly tried to calm him down.
“You need a good rest now, Grandpa.Don’t get overly excited.” Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at her and let out a gentle smile.
He patted Nicole’s hand and said softly, ” I won’t question what you do from now on, as long as you work hard and don’t fall behind, understand?”
Nicole nodded in acknowledgment.
She knew that as part of the Riddle family, grades were only the most basic requirement.
Mr. Riddle Sr.leaned over with a mysterious look and whispered to her, “If your grades improve on this monthly exam, I will buy you a gift.”
He thought Nicole would be thrilled.
After all, the gift he gave out had always been expensive.
Yet Nicole was nonchalant.
She tucked the quilt over his body and said, “I don’t need any gifts.All you need to do is take care of yourself.”
Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole in front of him and was delighted that this granddaughter of his was really a girl of character.
Chapter 310
After Nicole had settled with Mr. Riddle Sr., she was going to see Gloria downstairs.
Steve and Sean had also come to the mansion, sitting in the living room talking with each other, frowning as if they were discussing something tricky.
When they saw Nicole come downstairs, they both tacitly stopped their discussion.
“You’re here, too, Nicole!” Nicole nodded in response, her eyes staying thoughtfully on her two brothers.
Sean and Steve had quickly changed their topic of conversation, but Nicole could hear them talking about how Sebastian Wyance changed his attitude all of a sudden.
But Nicole did not know who that person was, nor did she give it a second thought.
Sean did not want Nicole to get involved in these things, and Steve obviously thought the same thing.
He smiled gently at Nicole and asked, “Where are you going?” Nicole said nothing but looked over at the kitchen at the other end.
Sean and Steve followed her gaze, and their expression turned gentle when they saw Gloria was busy in the kitchen. “Let’s go.” Nicole looked at Sean and Steve impassively and asked casually, “Has something happened in the company?” Sean and Steve were both slightly stunned by her question.
But it was Sean who first reacted, looking at Nicole with a solemn face.
“Nothing.
You don’t have to worry about it.” Her voice was imperceptibly gentle.
They just wanted their sister to live her life happily. Nicole could hear the undertone of what Sean said and looked at them with growing, gentle eyes. Sean had a cold personality, but he still cared about Nicole very much.
“Yeah, don’t worry about that.
Let’s have dinner,” he said with a smile. “Yeah, don’t worry about it.
Let’s have dinner,” Steve also said, smiling.
Knowing that they were trying to keep her out of worries, Nicole walked toward the kitchen, saying nothing more.
When Gloria saw Nicole, she fetched Nicole a bowl of soup.
Steve and Sean saw that, and Steve sighed softly.
“I hope this remains the same every day.” Sean said nothing, but his expression, which was warmer than usual, said it all.
They stood quietly for a while before walking toward Mr. Riddle Sr.’s room.
They did not know exactly what had changed Sebastian Wyance’s attitude, but they had to tell Mr. Riddle Sr. about it, which was the purpose of them here tonight.
After they turned around and left, Nicole gently raised her eyes and looked thoughtfully in the direction they had gone.
Gloria looked on affectionately as her beloved daughter drank the soup.
“Slow down.
The soup is hot,” she said gently. Nicole looked at Gloria.
“It’s okay.
It’s not hot.” As she drank a spoonful, Gloria quickly took out a napkin and gently wiped the corners of Nicole’s mouth.
“What have Sean and Stave been busy with lately?” Nicole asked expressionlessly. Gloria’s face changed.
She and Daniel were not involved in any matter of Riddle Corporation, but the tender was very crucial, and Mr. Riddle Sr.
had still divulged some details to them.
Knowing that Riddle Corporation had invested almost half of its fund into the tender, Gloria stopped what she was doing and nervously clasped the napkin in her hand.
Nicole watched her expression and seemed to have understood something.
“Are things not looking up now?” she asked softly.
Gloria looked at Nicole with surprise.
“Who told you this?” Nicole looked nonchalant, and she bluntly said, “Just now, I heard Sean and Steve discussing it. “It’s about the tender.
They have been well prepared for it, but there is news that McCarthy Corporation has moved into high gear these few days.” Gloria sighed softly and worriedly.
