Ch. 331..335: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 331-335

Chapter 331

Chapter 331 ‘What nonsense is that?!’ Nicole turned to Jared with an impassive face.

“No such thing.

Don’t listen to him. Jared slightly raised his eyebrows at her beautiful face.

“I’d come even if he hadn’t told me that.

What brings you here at this hour?” Still, Jared wanted her to tell him what had happened.

Nicole’s expression softened gradually, an icy glint fading from her eyes.

Apparently, she knew Jared was worried about her. “Nothing major.” Although that was what Nicole had said, Jared was not as gullible as Claus.

He squinted his glacier eyes and exuded a dangerous vibe. “Let me know, or I’ll go meet your brothers at your home and have them ask you instead.” Nicole locked her gaze on his unearthly handsome face.

She could not help but chuckle at how he said it because he made it sound like a threat. ‘He’s acting like a kiddo who wants to complain to my family about this.

Do I look like a kid?’ Nicole’s eyes got even softer.

“Really, there’s nothing major.

I got annoyed when the classroom was crowded just now, so I dropped by to calm my mind. “Or I’m not welcomed here?” Jared’s gaze did not move away from Nicole.

He could sense that her mood was getting better, so he decided not to get to the bottom of it.

His smiling eyes made him come off as appealing. “Of course not.” His eyes remained on her.

There was nothing out of ordinary in his voice.

“You can call this place your safe harbor.” Nicole understood what he meant, her eyes smiling.

“Can I have a cup of coffee at this safe harbor? Jared blinked.

There was a faint gleam in his eyes.

“My pleasure.” Claus did not hear their conversation since he was a distance away.

But when he saw Jared walking over to him, he knew his boss was going to make Nicole coffee. Claus stood beside Jared and whispered to him, “Mr. Johnston, that kid is the youngest son of the Finley family.

He obviously has a thing for Miss Riddle.

A reckless 19-year-old brat…” Jared did not stop what he was doing.

He paid no heed to what Claus had said further.

Instead, he asked Claus indifferently, “How did Nicole treat that kid?” “Uhm…” Claus rubbed his chin and mentioned a phrase that described Nicole’s attitude perfectly,” As cold as ice.”

Jared gave Claus a half-smile.

That’s all that matters.’ After he whipped the latte to make it foamy, he brought it to Nicole. Claus, on the other hand, stood there in a daze for a few seconds before he recovered his senses.

He looked at Jared, trying to hint at something.

“That kid mentioned something about a diamond!” The moment Jared turned to look at him, Claus put away his flippant smile and sighed inwardly. “Mr. Johnston, did you give Miss Riddle a diamond?” Jared’s face suddenly became clouded, and his eyes darkened.

The only diamond he was aware of was the pink diamond he had seen at the Gold Session auction recently. ‘Could it be Harvey bought it for Nicole? That brat still has the balls to make a move on my girl.

‘Interesting.

I guess I’ll have a good conversation with him when we meet again.’

Chapter 332

Chapter 332 The Rogers residence– It was a sunny day.

Lyana was in her bedroom staring at the messages she had sent to Jared.

Apparently, there was no reply.

She got up angrily, wanting to scream to vent her frustration.

But before she did that, her phone screen suddenly lit up. Lyana was surprised.

She took her phone.

But when she read the message, her face gradually turned grave with vague light in her eyes. She got up and left her room.

On her way out, her servant approached her in a servile manner, wanting to say something to her.

But Lyana did not spare the servant a glance and left the mansion building. The Rogers family’s driver waiting on the car porch was surprised to see Lyana.

But it did not take him long to recover to his senses and open the car door for her. Lyana was in a hurry that she did not even bring along the bodyguards who used to follow her everywhere she went.

She got in the car and instructed the driver, “Take me to the Riddle residence!” The driver was surprised again.

But he did not dare to go against the young lady’s order, so he immediately started the engine.

On their way to the Riddle residence, her face looked as black as thunder. What did Nicole do to grandpa that he purposely sent someone to invite her over? The Riddles have got to explain to me when I reach there,’ Lyana thought. The car traveled at high speed and reached the gate of the Riddle residence in no time.

Most of the Riddles were sighted waiting at the gate too.

Apparently, they had returned after hearing the news.

Dillon was standing beside Damien, looking desperate. His status in the Riddle family had been seriously diminished.

To regain Mr. Riddle Sr.’s favor again, he wanted to do his best to please Lyana Rogers, the young lady of the Rogers family. The Rogers family’s car stopped at the gate of the Riddle residence.

The moment Dillon saw a slender leg swing out, he immediately knew that person was that young lady.

He strode to the car and pushed the driver to the side, and even offered Lyana his hand to take. His servility startled Lyana a bit.

However, she did not reject it.

She casually placed her hand on his, acting sophisticated. Dillon was overjoyed.

He helped her up and said in a servile tone, “Ms.

Rogers, we’ve prepared a feast.

Allow me to escort you.” Lyana was feeling better upon seeing his obsequious attitude. Damien, on the other hand, adjusted his glasses while looking at Dillon’s action impassively.’ Dillon is not good in everything except for bootlicking.

No one can beat him in that aspect!’ When he thought of that, he followed Lyana to the house building and said with a gentle voice, “Hi, Ms.

Rogers.

I wonder what brings you here.” Lyana’s face darkened the moment she was reminded of her purpose.

Instead of walking further, she folded her arms and sneered.

With an icy voice, she said, “Just look at yourselves.

Trying hard to butter me up.

Nicole Riddle must have used a similar approach to gain my grandpa’s favor! Tell me.

What’s with that Nicole? What kind of tricks she has used on my grandpa?” When she said that, even Dexter, who had been following them quietly, was wide-eyed. ‘Nicole has ties with Mr. Rogers Sr.?! ‘She can’t be serious!’ Damien did not expect he would step on Lyana’s toes with a simple question.

However, he was quick-witted.

He said with a smile, “Nicole was not brought up in our family, so we don’t really know her well.

Ms.

Rogers, as someone as prestigious as you, no need to bother yourself with her!” Similarly, Dillon, whom Lyana had mocked just now, gave away his self-respect and chimed in smoothly, “Ms.

Rogers, we treat you respectfully because you’re the prestigious young lady from the Rogers family.

If it was someone from other families, I wouldn’t even spare them a glance! A country bumpkin like Nicole is nothing compared to you.

She might have piqued Mr. Rogers Sr.’s interest for now, but it won’t last long!” Dillon made it sound as though there was something dirty going on between Nicole and Mr. Rogers Sr. His words made Lyana’s mood much better.

Only then did she continue to walk to the house building.

Although her voice remained icy cold, her expression was not as stem as before.

 

Chapter 333

Chapter 333 “Call the head of your family over.

I want to talk to him about Nicole!” To Lyana, the Riddle family was nothing compared to her family.

Her family could crush them like a bug.

She thought so highly about herself that she felt she deserved to be treated with the utmost respect. The Riddles were startled for a second.

They were puzzled about her intention to meet Mr. Riddle Sr.

However, Dillon reacted immediately.

He gave her a servile smile as he said, “Ms.

Rogers, please take a seat.

I’ll let my father know.” Lyana looked at the chairs and tables before her disdainfully.

‘All chairs at my home are made of luxurious wood.

These furniture pieces made of low-grade rosewood are just tasteless. ‘But since I’m here…’Lyana gave Damien a look.

However, he did not show any response.

He was not as quick-witted as Dillon when it came to this.

Lyana felt unhappy.. “Wipe the chair clean for me!” she said. Damien lowered his gaze.

His eyes glinted under the glasses.

But he complied with Lyana’s demand with a smile, accepting the way she treated him – like a servant. Damien took the handkerchief from the servant beside him and gently wiped the chair. There was a mixed feeling in Dexter’s eyes at the sight of Lyana’s attitude.

He knew she was that prestigious young lady from the Rogers family, but her arrogance was a bit too much.

The haughty look she gave him and his brothers, as well as their family servants, made him feel uncomfortable.

It was as though every single person and thing from the Riddle family was garbage. Dexter could not bring himself to act like his brothers, who threw away their pride just to please that young lady.

He still held onto his dignity.

Hence, he did not greet Lyana and stood behind his brothers quietly. Lyana let out a cold smirk.

But before she could speak, the house door was opened.

It was Snow and Raine, both in a miserable state.

They had lost their usual elegance and poise.

One could even see some dust on them. Damien scowled at them and said coldly, “What happened to you two?” Lyana already looked down on the Riddle family.

Yet, Snow and Raine came back in a miserable state.

Damien was deeply frustrated, but he could only vent his emotions at Snow and Raine instead of Lyana. Snow and Raine were startled by their uncle’s sudden burst of rage.

Raine pursed her lips with a sad face and said resentfully, “It was all because of Nicole!” Snow echoed, “Nicole is too despicable!” She was almost certain that Nicole was the one who had stolen her diamond.

But never did she expect Nicole to own a purple diamond more than double the size of hers.

As she thought of this, she gritted her teeth. Chapter 333 On top of that, Gary and Harvey’s reactions were sharp thoms in Snow and Raine’s hearts.

They blamed it all on Nicole.

Their eyes were filled with deep hatred at the thought of her. Damien frowned upon hearing them.

‘Nicole might have gone too far.

But this is something we should settle behind closed doors.

Not to mention we have a guest here!’

 

Chapter 334

Chapter 334 When Damien was about to reprimand Raine and Snow, Lyana suddenly changed her haughty and disdainful attitude. “What did you just say?” Lyana thought, ‘These two girls seem to hate Nicole!’ Only then did Snow and Raine take a close look at the beautiful yet arrogant young lady before them.

But none of them spoke. It was a woman’s instinctive wariness of another woman. Lyana rolled her eyes inwardly at the sight of it.

She put away her look of despise and gave Snow and Raine a perfunctory smile.

“Come, tell me more about it.

How did Nicole bully you?” Snow and Raine were startled.

Snow looked at Damien and got the hint to accept the invitation because Lyana was not someone they could offend.

Hence, she walked over to Lyana and badmouthed Nicole Raine, who was next to Snow, exaggerated some details. Damien could vaguely hear their conversation.

Although he wanted to please Lyana, he was.

reluctant to let an outsider know about the incidents Snow and Raine had described. ‘No matter what Nicole has done, she is still one of the Riddles.

When an outsider knows any of these, it’ll certainly affect the Riddle family’s image, not to mention my name!’ At the thought of this, Damien was unhappy. Lyana, on the other hand, was in deep thought while listening to Snow and Raine’s doctored stories. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked them with a superior tone.

“So you were saying Nicole liked to steal other’s boyfriends, right?” Snow and Raine nodded after exchanging their looks, their eyes filled with malice.

They blamed Nicole for the treatment they gained from Harvey and Gary. Lyana looked at the two of them.

There was a hint of despise appeared in her eyes.

‘Nicole is at most a vixen! She could steal men from you simply because you’re incompetent!’ Although Lyana had this thought, the expression on her face remained gentle as she wanted to find out more about Nicole from them. While they were having a conversation, Dillon went upstairs to get his father.

When Mr. Riddle Sr. was told that the young lady of the Rogers family was there, he looked at Daniel next to him and said flatly, “Daniel, help me downstairs.” Daniel said yes.

Dillon did not have the chance to bootlick his father.

He could only follow and resent them. He watched Daniel from behind with an urge to crush this brother of his into pieces. Mr. Riddle Sr. went downstairs and saw Lyana sitting with a half-smile at the place he used to sit. While his granddaughters, Snow and Raine, were busy telling her something.

Damien furrowed his brows while Dexter, who was standing at the corner, was pondering about something with his head low. Mr. Riddle Sr. felt a little offended without showing it.

‘She has overstepped her role as a guest.’ No matter how inferior the status of the Riddle family to the Rogers family, Lyana was just a guest, and she was not an elder.

So, Mr. Riddle Sr. found her behavior unacceptable. Nevertheless, he did not show it on his face.

Instead, he greeted Lyana with a gentle smile.

Although he had just recovered from a serious illness, his voice was full of energy.

“Ms.

Rogers, what a great honor to have you here.”

 

Chapter 335

Chapter 335 Although Mr. Riddle Sr. was there, Lyana had no intention to give away the seat.

She gave him a nod but showed no respect toward him.

She stopped Snow and Raine from talking further and said coldly, “I’m here because I want to know how exactly you handle your grandchild.

Nicole Riddle has made my grandfather lose his mind.

I didn’t expect she would also ruin your family.

Is this how the head of a family does their job?” Ever since Mr. Riddle Sr. went through a life-and-death situation, his mentality had changed a lot.

In the face of Lyana’s questions, he said indifferently, “I do not know how Ms.

Rogers arrived at this conclusion.

From what I see, Nicole is just in her rebellious phase.

What she did was not something as serious as you think.” Lyana smirked.

“I bet she got it from her elders.

Is this how the Riddle family does things?” She got up and slammed the table. Dillon did not heed Mr. Riddle Sr.’s expression when he saw her angry.

He quickly approached her, trying to comfort her… “Ms.

Rogers, don’t be angry.

Nicole does deserve some lessons for what she did.

Perhaps you can wait a little longer.

When she returns, I’ll send her to your place to apologize to you! There’s no need for someone like you to be bothered with that ignorant brat!”. Lyana’s mood lightened up a lot after listening to Dillon’s words.

She let out a snort before looking at Mr. Riddle Sr. She was satisfied with Dillon’s solution.

Now what matters was how Mr. Riddle Sr. thought about it. However, Mr. Riddle Sr. did not look at her.

He shot Dillon a cold stare. Daniel heard the way Lyana.

Her insinuations were putting Nicole in a tight spot.

He frowned at Lyana and said, “Ms.

Rogers, is there any misunderstanding between you and Nicole? She’s nothing like you’ve said” Lyana looked at the man before her with a hint of disdain in her eyes. “Who are you? How dare you question me! You have the nerve to speak up for Nicole.

Are you one of her love interests too?” Daniel’s face darkened the moment he heard her.

“For god’s sake, I’m Nicole’s father! How dare you make such remarks, Is this the manner taught in the Rogers family?” Mr. Riddle Sr. looked like he was offended as well.

‘Never mind her rudeness.

But what she said was unacceptable!” However, Mr. Riddle Sr. did not say a word.

He continued watching Lyana indifferently. Lyana could not stand criticism from any bunch of these people.

When she heard Daniel’s words, she became furious as she sneered. “How dare you talk to me like that? Do you think I won’t tell my grandfather to deal with your family when I get back?” Dillon’s expression changed up when he heard her.

He believed that Lyana would do that. During the last encounter with someone from the Rogers family, he got reprimanded by his father for his remarks.

After the incident, he tried to find out more details about the Rogers family.

As a result, he was shocked by the findings. Never did he expect the Rogers family to be a prominent family in San Joto.

They were the third most influential family after the Johnstons and the Ellisons, ‘Although our family has deep roots, we are nothing compared to the Rogers family.

They can crush us anytime!’ With this in his mind, Dillon became extremely nervous upon hearing Lyana’s words. “Ms.

Rogers, there’s no need to make this a conflict between two families just because of Nicole.

We always think that the Rogers family is admirable!” “I’ll hand Nicole over to you when she returns! Lyana felt better after she heard Dillon.

“This sounds more pleasing to the ear! Why do they act like somebody when they’re nothing compared to my family?!”
