Ch. 336..340: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 336-340

Chapter 336

Chapter 336 Daniel looked at Dillon and frowned.

“We don’t have to be at their beck and call.” There was clearly a gap between the Riddle family and the Rogers family.

However, in Daniel’s point of view, there was no reason to lose their dignity over some intimidation.

Not when the person that was going to be handed over was his daughter. He wiped the warm smile off his face and looked over to Dillon, who had a cold gaze.

Damien and Dexter remained quiet in the background as they watched everything unfold. Although both of them wanted to get on the good side of the Rogers family, they never thought of doing it in such an undignified way.

Hence, to some extent, they were not yet considered hopeless. On the other hand, Dillon was not ready to bow down at Daniel’s request.

“Don’t you stir up trouble, Daniel.

Ms.

Rogers has come to find us, and you dare say that Nicole has done nothing wrong? I don’t believe you!” It was clear that he was defending Lyana. After saying all that, Dillon turned to look at her in hopes of getting some gratitude and praise.

His eyes filled with greed. Lyana’s impression of him was good.

He was well acquainted, and it would not be a big deal to acknowledge him “Help me take care of Nicole, and I’ll speak kindly of you to my grandfather when I return to my family home.” Dillon’s eyes lit up as he

heard this.

He was overjoyed.

“Thank you, my lady! Thank you! There was news going around that my lady is a kind-hearted person.

I’ve witnessed it today!” Damien felt uncomfortable after hearing what Lyana had said. ‘If Dillon got a stamp of approval from Mr. Rogers. Sr., his status in the Riddle family would be greatly affected.

He’ll even secure a higher place in the whole of San Joto! Isn’t this what I’ve been working so hard for?’ Dexter looked at his brother with a set of complex emotions.

‘How dare he?’ Dillon was grinning ear to ear.

He looked at his brothers with a face full of pride while Daniel looked at him in disappointment.

“How could you..” Lyana fixed her gaze toward Mr. Riddle. Sr. and said, “I’ll give you one last chance.

Tell me how you’ll hold her accountable.” During that time, Nicole had already bid farewell to Jared and decided to go to the Riddle family home.

The Math Olympiad was that afternoon, so she did not have to go to class.

Thus, she chose to visit Mr. Roger Sr. before going to school. Not long after she walked out of the café, a familiar black streamlined car stopped in front of her.

The window rolled down to reveal a handsome face.

Jared smiled and said, “Get in.” Nicole raised an eyebrow.

‘He didn’t say a word when we said goodbye just now.

But now he wants me to get in his car?’ She thought.

Though, she did not reject his kind offer.

She opened the door on the other side of the car and got in. Claus focused on driving when Jared said, “Claus told me someone followed you around today.

Who was he?” “He’s my classmate,” Nicole said with nothing to hide. ‘Oh?’ Jared turned to look at her in silence. “I think he likes you,” Jared playfully said after quite some time.

‘If Claus was right, this kid might be ill-willed,’ he thought. ‘Gary? Liking me?’ Nicole looked at Jared as if she was looking at an idiot.

‘There’s no chance Gary’s attracted to me with how he treats me.’ “That’s impossible.”

 

Chapter 337

Chapter 337 A faint smile appeared on Jared’s face when he saw Nicole’s unwavering attitude.

He knew that Nicole would not fall for someone from the Finley family.

But the thing he cared about was the diamond.

“That classmate of yours mentioned a diamond? What was that about?” Nicole shot a cold gaze at Claus when she heard this.

“What a loyal big mouth.

I can’t believe he told Jared everything.’ Besides being dissatisfied with Claus, Nicole did not react to the incident.

She was calm and collected while she looked out the car window with one hand on her chin. Her lips quirked into a half-smile as she glanced at Jared and said, “Zeke gave it to me.

Commander Guzman played a part in this too.

Why are you asking?” Jared frowned slightly and thought, ‘So that’s what happened? The Guzmans gave it to her? It wasn’t Harvey?’ This made Jared feel a little better. Claus was stunned when he heard this.

He could not help but peek at Nicole from the rearview mirror.

‘Nicole and Zeke? How could this be?’ ‘Wait, Max had told me that Specter’s real name was “Zeke”.

So it’s very likely that Nicole is…! Claus was deep in thought and lost control of the steering wheel.

The car swerved, and they almost hit a tree. Fortunately for them, Claus reacted quickly, and they returned to the road without any harm. Nicole was expressionless, but Jared flashed a stern look toward him.

‘I need to do something about him.

He’s been easily distracted lately Claus knew he messed up.

He stayed quiet for the whole ride.

When they arrived, he glanced at Jared as if to confirm something.

Jared nodded lazily. ‘No way… Nicole is Lucifer?!’ Claus did not expect it.

‘I thought she was just a skillful college student.’ ‘But why did Commander Guzman gift her a diamond?’ He could not figure it out.

He looked at Jared again, but Jared did not give him another look.

Instead, he got out of the car and followed Nicole. Claus was puzzled at this newfound information.

‘How does Nicole know Karlo?’ The Finley family worked with a lot of people.

Thus, Claus and Karlo were familiar with each other.

He knew that this old man was upright and took rules and regulations very seriously. ‘This man is a difficult person to deal with.

How did Nicole conquer his heart?’ He thought as he followed them out of the car. Jared looked at Nicole and gently stroked the hair on the side of her face.

‘I’ll wait for you here,’he said softly There was also a hint of softness in Nicole’s eyes.

She nodded and turned to open the door of the Riddle family home. However, when she was about to push the door open, she sensed something and backed up. The next moment, the door slammed open to reveal Lyana’s arrogant face

Chapter 338

Chapter 338 Behind Lyana were the sycophantic Dillon and the expressionless Damien Benjamin and Daniel did not see her off. She was in a rage.

Not only did that old man not want to deal with Nicole, but he even kicked me out of his house! And now someone is blocking my path?!’ “Hey! Are you bli Before she finished her words, she saw the person in front of her.

Her eyes sparkled with surprise, There was also a hint of shyness behind her eyes. “J-Jared? Why are you here?” ‘Did he come to see me? Nicole raised her eyebrows upon this encounter.

She glanced at Jared and then at the three brothers behind Lyana.

Something was on her mind. Jared looked at Lyana with indifference.

He then sensed a hint of playfulness in Nicole’s eyes.

His eyes slightly curved upwards as he stretched out his hand to pull Nicole to his side. “Are you laughing at me?” Nicole showed no emotions, “No?” Jared grinned widely at the sight of Nicole not pulling away from him.

He was beaming from the inside out.

However, he knew that Nicole had matters to attend to.

Hence, he decided to let her go. Before that, he put his lips close to her ear and whispered loud enough for everyone to hear, “Go on.

Don’t make me wait too long.” Nicole nodded.

She ignored the group of people who stared at her with a complicated gaze, including Lyana. She was there to give Mr. Riddle Sr. his medicine, not to give them a show. Though, Nicole’s dismissiveness toward the matter did not mean Lyana would dismiss her. Lyana’s heart sank when she saw the two share an intimate moment.

She found it hard to breathe.

The jealousy she felt prepared her to kill ‘I’ve been in love with Jared for three years.

I dropped out of school just to go to Hustuaburg and follow in his footsteps.

It doesn’t matter how harshly he treats me.

He has treated other women the same,’ Lyana told herself. ‘He just doesn’t know how to express himself.

He just hasn’t known me that well.

He just hasn’t had the time…” All the lies she told herself were brought to the light when she saw how he treated Nicole.

Her nails dug into her palms as she thought about it. At first, Lyana only wanted Nicole to stop dreaming so big.

She wanted her to know that even if she got to know her grandfather, she still could not climb to the top.

But now? She wants to crush her. “Stop right there.” Lyana’s gaze changed.

She did not dare look at Jared.

Instead, she looked at Nicole, who did not bat her an eye.

She felt a rush of blood to the head.

She took a few steps forward and rushed to Nicole’s side. “I told you to stop!” she grabbed her wrist and spoke. Nicole looked back at her with no emotions in her eyes.

“Is something wrong?” she asked coldly. Lyana gritted her teeth and looked at Nicole’s delicate features with a hint of jealousy.

“You seduced Jared! How could you be so shameless?!” Damien and Dexter fixed their gaze upon Jared.

They did not dare provoke him.

So they bowed their heads in silence. Jared’s face turned cold when he heard those words.

He stepped forward and said, “What did you say?” Lyana’s whole body froze as soon as she heard his voice sound behind her ears.

 

Chapter 339

Lyana turned around stiffly with a gentle smile on her face. However, it did not match what she had just said.

“Jared, you and I are a match. We’re of the same social ranks. I know you have some good friends outside, but there is no reason to get angry over her.”

In Lyana’s eyes, Nicole is just Jared’s plaything. That is why she dared call her out in front of him.

Nicole found Lyana funny. ‘A match? Same social ranks?’

Jared smiled at the sound of that. For a moment, it seemed like thousands of flowers were blooming in front of Lyana’s eyes. However, his pupils darkened the next second. His voice was cold and sharp,” Lyana, if you’re too comfortable in your position, I don’t mind letting you step down and take a rest.”

Lyana stared at him as he said that. His words cut through her like a blade. Although his tone was not harsh, she knew that he was serious.

She could not help but shudder at the thought of what the third household of the Rogers family had gone through after offending the Johnston family.

Jared noticed Nicole’s eyes upon him. He turned to look at her, and the coldness from his face dissipated. “GO,” he said softly. Nicole nodded, turned away, and continued walking into the family home. She was relieved that she did not have to deal with Lyana’s nonsense.

Lyana’s eyes redden with anger when she saw how protective Jared was of Nicole. She glared at her back angrily. It was as if she wanted to burn a hole in her back with her glare.

Though, when Jared turned to face her, she slowly lowered her head in fear. His eyes were dull, but there was something unmistakable in his gaze.

“Do some self-reflection when you go home. Don’t let me hear those words again.”

“Otherwise, you know the consequences.”

He walked towards his car after he said that. Claus stood there and looked at Lyana’s pale face with a mocking yet pitiful gaze. ‘Master Jared is a devil to everyone other than Miss Riddle. How idiotic of Lyana to speak of her like that.’

At the same time, Claus’ eyes darkened at the thought of Lyana’s words. ‘Master Jared couldn’t bear hearing someone speak ill of Miss Riddle. But what Lyana had said to him had a clear meaning. Only someone of the same social rank as him can be his wife.’

Claus was reminded that no matter how exceptional Nicole was, her family background would not allow her to be married to Jared.

He sighed as he thought of his master’s attitude. ‘Life’s hard for someone who must worry about everything his master does!’

Lyana stood there embarrassed. It was as if she was naked in front of everyone. She was humiliated by someone she loved in front of people that she treated like ants.

She made a mental note to get back at Nicole for all this. ‘That b*tch! First, she stole Jared away. Now, she’s instigated him to treat me this way?!’

‘It’s just a phase. When Jared gets tired of this woman, he’ll definitely stay by my side!’

 

Chapter 340

Lyana felt much better after she thought of that. Dillon saw that she had calmed down. Thus, he cautiously leaned forward ad said, “My lady, don’t be mad. It’s not good for your body. It’s all Nicole’s fault.”

‘Did he just mention Nicole?!’ Lyana wanted to rip his mouth out. ‘No matter how much he tries to flatter me, he is still trash. And he has the cheek to talk to me like this?’

“How dare you say that?” she asked coldly. That angered Dillon. He was shocked at how quickly her mood changed. However, he thought of how she will praise him in front of Mr. Rogers Sr. and hastily said, “Please calm down, Miss Rogers. I’m trying my best to help you. Do you still mean what you said earlier?” Lyana was thoroughly annoyed at him. Her eyes were full of ridicule and disdain.

“You want me to help you? You must first deserve it!” she said.

Following that, she strode out. Her footsteps slowed down as she walked past Jared’s car. She glanced at the car with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes and continued her way out.

Jared’s words were harsh. She did not dare to make a scene further.

Claus was surprised when he saw Lyana walk away. He was sure that she would have caused some trouble. He stood near the car and watched as her figure vanished. The Riddle family knew Jared, but no one dared approach the black car.

Could it be that he and Nicole are actually getting married? Didn’t they say they’ll cancel the wedding when Mr. Johnston Sr. gets better? After all, the Johnston family is not what it used to be, and the Riddle family could no longer climb the social rankings. But Daniel and the Johnston family have not

mentioned anything about calling off the marriage. “Jared and Nicole are getting closer. Could it be…! Damien and Dillon’s expressions changed when they thought about it. ‘If Nicole gets in with the Johnston family, there is no chance for us to hold off the fourth household. Not even if Snow and Harvey get together.’ They went back into the hall of the Riddle family home in embarrassment. They felt dejected when they saw Nicole delivering water to Mr. Riddle Sr.

There was no need for him to lie in bed all the time anymore since his spirits were up.

The two sisters, Raine and Snow, were not far from Nicole. Their faces filled with glee when they learned that Nicole had offended the great and well-known Lyana.

‘Even grandfather can’t save her now! She’ll be miserable!

Nicole noticed their gaze, but she did not care. She looked at Mr. Riddle Sr. as if nothing had happened. She then turned to look at Daniel standing by his side. His face softened when he met her eyes. “What’s the matter, Nicole?”.

Since they did not want to talk about it, Nicole did not push for more answers.

The way they did not join the others in seeing Lyana off explained everything.
