Ch. 316..320: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 316-320

Chapter 316

Nicole was holding a stopwatch, looking expressionlessly at Zeke, running at a snail’s pace.

He was in his last lap, running at speed almost slower than walking.

He was slow, but it was better than not moving.

Nicole watched on as Zeke neared the finish line, and she stopped the stopwatch as soon as he .

crossed the finish line.

“Your pace is only ten,” she said.

Nicole did not hold Zeke but motioned for him to continue walking for two laps.

“We can only start the next phase of training when you reach three.” Her voice came from behind him in the distance.

Zeke could not say a word as he felt his eyes turning dark, and his knees were not his own.

Getting the pace up to three was no different from flying.

He had a long way to go.

After Zeke had finished training, Nicole walked toward the teaching building and stepped into the classroom on the dot.

There were exactly five minutes before the class started.

Gary looked at Nicole with a grave face.

He had asked Ryder to find out about Nicole’s background, but many days had passed, and he still did not hear from Ryder.

He wondered what was going on and if she was really clean with nothing to hide.

Even it was Jack and Wayne who told him about the fact that Nicole was the Riddle family member after Stanley and others said it on the radio broadcast. He looked at Nicole with an inquisitive look in his eyes.

If he could not even find out anything with all the power and influence of the Finley family, he was almost certain that Nicole had absolutely some unusual background. Thinking of how close Nicole and Jared were, something suddenly dawned on him.

He could probably be right all this while. While Nicole was waiting for class, Bradley, in front of her, turned his head, glanced at Nicole mysteriously, and then asked in a low voice, “Are you really from the Riddle family?” The Riddle family might be declining in influence, but it was still well-known among all the giants of San Joto.

Nicole raised an eyebrow at his question, thanks to her brother’s high-profile announcement.

She casually muttered an uh-huh in response. Bradley’s eyes lit up at once.

Just as he was just about to say something, he heard two timid knocks at the door of the classroom.

He looked up and saw a somewhat cowardly boy with black-rimmed glasses.

“Is Nicole in this class?” the timid boy asked.

‘He is looking for Nicole? Is he looking for trouble or something?’ Bradley thought to himself.

He then turned to look at Nicole, saw that her expression was unchanged, and breathed a sigh of relief. ‘Nicole has been through so many things, and she is good at martial arts.

Certainly, she could handle this.’ Bradley nodded reassuringly at the thought of this.

Vivian, who was sitting in the first row, had a gloomy look in her eyes when she heard someone looking for Nicole.

“Why are you looking for her? Did Nicole get into trouble again?” she asked in a condescending tone of voice.

 

Chapter 317

She had gone home yesterday afternoon, so she was unaware of the school radio broadcast. Seeing someone coming to look for Nicole, her first reaction was to think that the person was up to no good.

To her surprise, the boy blushed, raising the thing in his hand in the air high and gritting his teeth. “I’m here to apologize to Nicole.”

‘What?’ Vivian was wide-eyed, the pen in her hand dropping to the floor. ‘He is here to apologize to Nicole?’

“You’re not joking, are you? Why are you apologizing to Nicole?” She said in a voice filled with sarcasm as she looked at the boy.

‘Nicole should be the person to apologize,’ she thought in her mind.

“I didn’t know that Nicole was the Riddle family member and had misunderstood her and said some bad things about her on the Internet. I’m here to apologize to her.” ‘Nicole is from the Riddle family? How is this possible? I thought she was a nobody?’ Vivian wondered, rooted to the spot. The Riddle family might have passed its glory days, but it was still a force to be reckoned with, not someone whom her family could match. Almost losing control of herself, she roared, “What nonsense are you talking about? How could Nicole be from the Riddle family? She is clearly just a yokel!”

Vivian glanced sideways at the other classmates, who usually would echo whatever she said, but today, they bowed their heads in silence. She looked in disbelief at Nicole, who stood with her back straight, whose expression was nonchalant, even emotionless, and wondered if Nicole had never taken her seriously.

The boy with the black-rimmed glasses saw Nicole’s expression and seemed to realize something. He took pity on Vivian and said, “You better believe it. Yesterday, the student union president and the Riddle

brothers said it clearly on the radio broadcast, asking those who insulted Nicole on the Internet to apologize to her quickly, or else they would be sued for defamation. Jimmy has also come up with a list of people who have insulted Nicole online, They can only get their name off the list after apologizing to Nicole.” Without wasting any more time talking to Vivian, the boy hurried up to Nicole and said in a sincere voice, “I’m sorry, Nicole. I misunderstood you.” He then handed out the gift in his hand with an extremely sincere look on his face.

Nicole could feel his sincerity and accepted his apology. But she declined the gift and pushed it back to him. “I accept your apology.” She never took such a minor thing to heart,

The boy probably did not expect Nicole to accept his apology so quickly and looked at a loss with the gift in his hand. It cost him a lot of money to buy the gift for Nicole, afraid that Nicole would not like it and forgive him. Never did he expect Nicole to be such a nice person,

He could still vividly remember the cold shoulder and disdain he had received when he bought Snow and Raine gifts; at that time, Snow was smiling, but her eyes were full of disgust for him. It was not until he realized the problem and raised the value of the gift to seven figures

that Snow finally accepted the gift and gave him a chance. At that time, he had never thought that if Snow really respected herself and was willing to remain abstinent for Harvey, she would not have accepted the expensive gift that he had bought.

Seeing the nonchalance look in Nicole’s eyes, he felt bad for himself and could not help but bow to Nicole. “Thank you! Thank you for accepting my apology! I’m not going to do stupid things again!” With that, he strode out of the classroom, no longer having the courage to look at Nicole’s expression again. Many classmates saw what happened and felt surprised by how easily Nicole accepted the boy’s apology. Not only that, Nicole had even refused the gift. They did not know that Nicole was such a nice person.

Chapter 318

And just like that, a group of people came forward and apologized to Nicole. Among them were boys and girls with guilt plastered all over their faces. With one look at their guilty faces, Nicole decided to forgive them.

None of them expected that Nicole would forgive them so quickly. All of them rushed toward Jimmy’s class like a swarm of bees.

Many students from Class B saw this, and some even started to step forward as they had also cyberbullied Nicole before. They were bound to bump into Nicole at some point, so they decided that it was best to apologize. As embarrassing as it was, they were glad that Nicole did not take the situation to heart. Students were crowding the doorway as the school bell rang. Soon, Ms. Emerson walked in and was shocked at the scene in front of her eyes.

“What is the meaning of this?”

Students started to leave at the sight of a teacher All of them were thinking the same thing, ‘I won’t do that to Nicole anymore. What if she decides not to forgive me next time?’ Nicole’s facial expression was the same throughout this scenario. As the crowd dispersed, she took out a book from her drawer and picked up where she left off.

A few of the students were already explaining the ins and outs of the matter to Ms. Emerson. A faint smile appeared on her face as she thought, ‘Well, they did owe Nicole an apology.’ She then decided to let it go as the students did not do it during class. The students started to quiet down as she cleared her throat and began the class. Upon noticing Ms. Emerson’s manner, Vivian clumped her hands together under her desk with a distorted expression on her face. ‘Who does Nicole think she is?!’ At the same time, Nicole was flipping through the book in her hands with a face full of indifference.

Vivian did not want to see Nicole being surrounded by the crowd during recess. Then, asif a light bulb went off in her head, she walked in the direction where the twelve graders were at.

She was thinking and rehearsing what to say in case she bumped into someone on the way there. As she reached Ms. Thompson’s office, she met Harvey, who was there to get the result papers.

He knocked on the door three times. When he heard a voice say, “come in,” he walked in slowly.

Vivian blushed as he held the door open for her.

She held onto her skirt bashfully as she whispered, “Thank you.”

Harvey nodded slightly and went into the office.

Ms. Thompson’s face lit up as soon as she saw Harvey come in. She waved her hands and said, ” Harvey, you’re here. Take this and distribute it to your classmates.”

After saying that, she deliberately increased her volume and said, “Harvey, you scored the highest on this math test!”

Harvey nodded politely as he reached out to take the stack of papers on the table. He then counted the number of papers out of habit.

As he was on the side counting the papers, Vivian slowly walked toward Ms. Thompson. There was a hint of hesitation in her eyes, but she straightened her face and said, “Ms. Nicole is causing trouble again.”

Ms. Thompson was startled at her words. She was not in school often when she had no classes.

Thus, she did not hear about what had happened. Intrigued by the situation, she tilted her head upwards to push Vivian for more details.

 

Chapter 319

Harvey’s fingers slowed down at the sound of Nicole’s name.

Vivian bit her lips and began to tell Ms. Thompson everything. She even told her that the crowd Nicole caused was affecting her studies.

Ms. Thompson’s face sank immediately. “How dare she not focus on school and commit such heinous acts!”

‘What in the world is going on? Who does Nicole Riddle think she is to have a crowd of students apologize to her?’

‘I’ve gotten Mike to ask Mr. Anderson about Nicole; she and Mr. Ellison are not related in any way,’ she thought.

Thus, Ms. Thompson was no longer afraid of her!

Harvey paused his motion and looked at Ms. Thompson, who was raging with anger. It seemed as if she was ready to get up and go with Vivian, and he was standing in the middle of them.

He then decided to voice out softly, “Ms. Thompson, you mentioned that you have a short meeting coming up, right? That’s why you asked me to come to grab these papers? You go ahead. I’ll go with this junior to get to the bottom of this. I’ll report back to you later.”

Ms. Thompson was hesitant, but she remembered about the meeting and her position in the school. If she was absent from the meeting, it would not look good.

But she had a chip on her shoulder when it came to Nicole.

Harvey saw the hesitation on her face. “Don’t you trust me, Ms. Thompson?” He said with a faint smile

Upon hearing that, Ms. Thompson came to a decision almost immediately. She turned to look at Vivian and said, “You know him, right? Since I have matters to attend to, he’ll follow you to find out what Nicole Riddle is up to. If it’s really something that’ll affect our school’s performance, he’ll surely report it back to me.”

Vivian did not dare to look up at Harvey’s handsomeness. Instead, she replied with a faint” okay,” which was not the same tone she used when she was talking about Nicole. Harvey looked at the seemingly well-behaved girl in front of him with a cold face. However, there was a hint of softness in his voice.

“Let’s go. Uhm-”

As the two of them walked out of Ms. Thompson’s office, Vivian realized something. “Oh, my name is Vivian Collins,” she said softly.

Before this, it was as if she did not know her own name.

Harvey nodded and smiled. He noticed a gleam in her eyes that was hard to grasp.

“What did you say Nicole did again?”

Vivian’s eyes filled with hatred as soon as she heard him ask about Nicole.

“I don’t know how she became a Riddle, but she’s bullying everyone. She even wanted them to apologize to her. Don’t you think she’s out of line, Harvey?” Harvey nodded, seemingly in agreement. His eyes were full of approval, and his tone was encouraging “Anything else?”

 

Chapter 320

Vivian saw how supportive Harvey was, so she did not let him down. She told him about everything Nicole had done during that time.

A thoughtful expression appeared on Harvey’s face as she mentioned that Nicole had been absent from school for several days and that she clearly did not want to learn at all. ‘No wonder I haven’t seen her in school these past few days,’ he thought. He looked at her with a compelling stare as if he was deeply interested in what she had to say.” Well, do you know what she was up to during that time?” He asked. Vivian put on her thinking cap and remembered seeing a fake absent slip with the words” patient care” written on it when she was in Ms. Emerson’s office.

“It seems that someone in her family was sick, so she went to take care of them.”

Upon hearing that, Harvey thought about the time Snow asked him to help find a doctor for Mr. Riddle Sr. During that time, he was sure that the reason why Snow was being so vague was that Nicole had transferred Mr. Riddle Sr. away.

“I’ve checked all the military hospitals, but there was no record of Benjamin coming in.’

‘Where did Nicole send him to?’ ‘If there’s no record of him in any of the hospitals, then he must have…’ Harvey’s eyes gradually darkened at that thought. He looked over at Vivian and smiled ever so sweetly. He tucked one of her loose hairs behind her ears as he emitted a warm radiance. He then looked into her eyes and said softly, “Thank you for telling me all that.” Vivian felt her face getting hot. ‘Why am I feeling such attraction to Harvey when the one I like is Gary?!’ She had always admired Harvey from a distance but had never been this attracted to him before. She did not understand that he and she were not the same. One was good at manipulating people, while the other treated everyone the same. It was as if he was emitting some kind of radiation. From afar, the radiation she felt was faint. The closer she

got to him, the higher the radiation level became, especially since he wanted something from her. She could not get words out of her mouth as she looked at the alluring face in front of her.

A hint of ridicule flashed in Harvey’s eyes the moment Vivian started to blush.

However, he quickly concealed his feelings and said in a low voice, “Vivian, to ensure the quality of your studies, I have a small request.” He smiled slightly as he looked into her eyes filled with a solemn gaze.

“You must tell me about every move Nicole makes in the future.”

“She’s bound to affect everyone’s studies again, right? I’ll help you stop her.”

“We’ll stop this pretentious devil who keeps luring men into liking her together,” Harvey said with a hint of hatred in his eyes.

A sense of empathy appeared on Vivian’s face as she listened to him. She hated Nicole because she stepped into the limelight as soon as she came into Class B.

‘Everyone was attracted by her appearance, her personality, and even the mysteries behind her, including Gary.’ Vivian’s eyes burst with jealousy as she thought about it.
