Ch. 361..365: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 361-365

Chapter 361

Nicole’s voice sounded from the other end of the line, “It’s the tuition fee one of my friends gave me for teaching them martial arts.”

‘So that’s why,’ they thought.

The two nodded now that their doubts had been cleared.

Both of them agreed that Nicole had impressive martial arts skills; while receiving a diamond sounded excessive, it was normal for her to be admired by people.

Lulu then added, “Snow and Raine have gotten it restored. Nicole, don’t be bothered by their actions. They’re not worth your mental health.”

Nicole lifted the corner of her lips in the dark.

“Alright, I won’t.”

Nicole heard their shallow breathing beside her. The two seemed to have let go of their worries and had fallen fast asleep.

She did not feel sleepy. After some thought, she switched on the black-colored phone.

The moment she switched on the phone, a message popped up on the screen.

Nicole opened the notification. It was a message asking her when she had the time to meet and chat. The person had signed off the text with the initial C.

Carl is back in Mecrounia?’ she wondered.

Nicole’s expression changed slightly before reverting to a calm one.

‘Mecrounia is basically Carl’s home country; staying there would guarantee his life and safety to the greatest extent,’ she thought. She quickly typed up a response on the phone. The person on the other end promptly replied with an OK emoji.

Nicole didn’t respond to the message and quickly switched off the phone. She quietly lay on the bed. She was feeling a mixture of emotions.

Perhaps it was because she had lifted a load off her chest; this time, Nicole fell asleep quickly and had a dream.

Her dream reeked of blood. She had been kidnapped to an unknown place on a mountain and was showing signs of dehydration.

She could actually feel her parched throat.

She heard a familiar voice coming from a faraway distance. The voice had lost whatever gentleness it had in the past and seemed extraordinarily high-pitched.

“Rich people are too stubborn. I guess we’ll have to do something!”

“Don’t blame me, Nicki! They’re the ones who are heartless. You must go seek revenge from them if you feel any resentment!”

Nicole felt a hard object pressed against the back of her head as he spoke. The Nicole back then was a naive little girl, but the Nicole today was most familiar with this feeling

‘It’s the feeling of a gun pressed up against you,’ she thought.

The man sneered when he saw her not put up a fight. He slowly unlatched the safety lever on his gun while watching the weak little prey in front of him. The sinister smile on his lips gradually grew wider.

‘She’s a mere child; I alone am more than enough to finish her off,’ he thought. She could clearly hear the sound of the man reloading the pistol. The man’s laughter slowly faded away. It was at that moment that Nicole shut her eyes.

She knew, things were about to go down.

‘What happened to Nicole? Why did she suddenly increase my laps to twenty-five? Can a human run this many laps?!’he thought.

Zeke looked at Nicole, who was holding a stopwatch in the distance. At first, he would make silly faces at her. In the end, he was so tired he could barely lift an arm.

Regardless, humans indeed have unlimited potential; Zeke managed to finish running twenty five laps. He wiped away the sweat on his forehead with the towel on his neck.

At the same time, he looked at Nicole and asked exasperatedly between pants, “Nicole, what’s up with you today? Why did I have to run ten extra laps?”

Chapter 362

Nicole gave him an indifferent look before turning away. Zeke was confused when he did not hear any response from her. When he lifted his head, he saw that she had already walked quite some distance away. He quickly chased after her.

“Hey, Nicole! Don’t be so heartless!”

Nicole ignored him. Her eyes glinted as she glanced at the sky that was now bright. She did not speak.

‘That’s because there isn’t much time left,’ she thought.

‘I need to help Zeke get stronger as soon as possible,’ she thought again. In the end, Zeke did not get any answers. He dragged his feet back to his campus. He did not have many friends.

Most people did not bother sparing him a glance. Zeke lowered his eyes-coldly. He did not want to be around these commoners either. To him, only Nicole was his partner and good friend.

‘Nicole previously said we would take things step-by-step, but she’s suddenly sped up our training process. Something is definitely going to happen,’ he thought.

‘But I don’t know anything about it,’ he thought again.

Zeke took out his computer and sat in the corner. That corner was the camera’s blind spot, so no one could see what he had on his computer screen.

He opened The Hunters. To his surprise, the post that offered a 10-million-dollar reward in exchange for the identity Lucifer had disappeared. Zeke frowned in confusion but quickly figured out what was wrong.

The person must have realized how futile it was. He was not bothered. While he skimmed through the recent posts, one of the pinned missions caught his attention.

It had a skeleton icon, indicating that it was a mission posted by a senior hacker. The person seemed to be asking the elites to set up a defense network to prevent data leaks.

‘Interesting,’ he thought.

Zeke sent the mission details to Nicole.

Nicole did not respond. However, Zeke did not get annoyed and looked at the screenshots instead. His expression started to change.

He seemed to have seen this icon back at home before.

During a mission one time, Karlo injured his right leg badly. When they brought him back, his leg was already infected and rotting. Karlo yelled at the military doctor when he said that amputation was the only. He then made a phone call while holding onto the pain.

Soon after, a helicopter landed. Several special force personnel that he had never seen before

Soon after, a helicopter landed. Several special force personnel that he had never seen before ran out. They were holding medical kits with the letter F on them.

Karlo was taken away after he was given drugs and injections. When he returned, he was once again the strong father that he knew. That “F” he saw had a similar minimalistic and cold feeling to this icon. Zeke stared at the “G”. His gaze started to turn cloudy. He accepted the mission and quickly got a response from the other end.

“How confident are you? Hold on, Specter?”

Zeke did not choose to stay anonymous. He revealed his hacker name to increase his chances of getting the mission.

“How bad is it?”

The person on the other end paused. It seemed as if the person found it hard to tell him what they had achieved with their ability. It took them a few seconds to type up a single message.

Zeke stared at his response with a solemn expression.

“It might crash any time. The backup defense system will last at most three days.”

Zeke’s hands were busy. He quickly realized that the task required him to be onsite. He had to be there to operate the system unit. He gritted his teeth.

“Send me the address.”

Nicole was now back in class. She noticed that everyone was looking at her strangely.

Unlike the previous times, few were giving her scornful gazes.

 

Chapter 363

Nicole did not care about what they thought. She went to her seat and quickly took out a question bank book.

Many things have happened, but Nicole continued to work hard on the math question bank book.

She speedily worked on the math problems. After all, the Math Olympiad was soon She gently twirled her pen. Her thoughts were as fast as lightning; she instantly thought of a method to solve the problem.

Nicole was on the last page of the book. She lifted her head before closing the book. There was a sea of people surrounding her. They were all looking at her with eager eyes.

Nicole asked resignedly, “What’s the matter?”

They all looked at each other and started forming a line to apologize. Nicole sighed. She looked at the sea of people in front of her and frowned.

‘It’s good that my brothers have helped me clear my name, but having these people apologize to me is so troublesome.’ she thought.

Thankfully, she was saved by the bell. Nicole breathed a sigh of relief as the people left reluctantly. Gary was sitting in the last row. He had been wanting to speak to Nicole.

However, he could only make out Nicole’s figure due to the crowd.

‘How could I let go of my reputation and squeeze through the crowd simply to speak to Nicole? ‘he thought.

In the end, Gary still gave up. He quietly returned to his seat. However, there was an indistinguishable glint in his eyes. Vivian was sitting in the front row. Her eyes glinted darkly when she noticed his actions.

‘Nicole truly seizes every opportunity to make herself stand out!’ she thought. She took out her phone and sent out a text under her desk. Only then did she feel like she had control of the situation again,

Everyone in the class was looking at Nicole a little differently from before. Those who mocked Nicole quieted down when they thought of the 25-carat purple diamond that fell from her drawer.

“That piece of diamond is worth more than all of my parents’ fortune combined. Yet, Nicole does not care,’ they thought. At the thought of this, many of them decided to join the Nicole apology queue after class.

‘Ego means nothing,’ they thought, Ms. Emerson walked into the class on time. Nicole did not care about what others thought and carefully opened the last page of the question bank book. She was preparing to learn the final bit of knowledge.

After all, once she finishes this book, there won’t be any left. ‘The other participants would probably die of shock if they knew how Nicole was preparing for the competition. She’s reluctant to solve a difficult problem and had saved it for the last!’ Ms. Emerson thought.

She had a smile in her eyes when she noticed what Nicole was doing.

‘Nicole is such an interesting person,’ she thought again.

After class, Ms. Emerson called Gary and Nicole over to the lecture podium. She spoke to them in a low voice.

The Math Olympiad was happening soon, so she wanted to know how their preparations were going Gary had seen Nicole’s blank question bank book at the café yesterday.

He could not help but think, ‘Even though Nicole is good at racing, she still has trouble solving a Math Olympiad problem.’

‘Anyway, why did Ms. Emerson ask such a question when the two of us are present? Isn’t she worried about Nicole feeling awkward?’ he wondered.

He replied casually, “It’s going okay.”

Ms. Emerson understood that this meant he felt confident. She then looked at Nicole expectantly.

 

Chapter 364

“Nicole, how’s your preparation going?”

Nicole looked at Ms. Emerson calmly.

“I’ve solved all of them.”

Nicole had never participated in a Math Olympiad back in San Joto, so she did not know if she was well-prepared. However, the smile on Ms. Emerson’s face indicated that she was doing fine. Ms. Emerson handed Nicole three more exercise books. They were all past-year Math Olympiad questions that could not be found on the market. The third book, in particular, was Declan Hancock’s best work. In their school, only she and Mr. Louis — the two teachers in charge of the Math Olympiad training – got their hands on two copies of the book.

She did not expect Nicole to complete all three sets of the questions without any guidance.

‘I underestimated Nicole,’ she thought.

Ms. Emerson nodded satisfactorily and asked Gary to leave. She wanted to speak to Nicole privately. Gary frowned. He had seen Nicole’s book, and it was completely blank. He could not understand how Nicole dared to spout nonsense like how she had solved all of the math problems to Ms. Emerson.

The charming image that he had of her from yesterday’s race club meetup was gone; she was once again the annoying liar! Gary did not say anything but snorted. He headed back to his seat without sparing Nicole a glance.

When Vivian witnessed the scene unfold, she had a look of glee in her eyes. Her eyes unconsciously followed Gary in hopes to have some form of interaction with him.

Unfortunately, Gary did not look her way. His eyes were filled with rage toward Nicole. He simply walked past her without sparing her a glance.cz Vivian tightly gripped the hem of her dress under her desk.

She looked at Nicole who had gained Ms. Emerson’s favor. She was furious.

Ms. Emerson then told Nicole about the things she needed to watch out for during the Math Olympiad. After all, Gary had been through the competition many times.

On the other hand, Nicole seemed to lack the experience. She naturally had to tell her the rules of the competition.

In the end, Ms. Emerson repeated the part where participants had to write their answers with a black pen.

Nicole looked at her with a serious expression and said softly, “Don’t worry, Ms. Emerson. I’ll ace it.”

She knew Ms. Emerson was doing this for her own good. Ms. Emerson was treating her as if she were a child; she found it amusing and heartwarming at the same time.

Ms. Emerson also knew that she was going overboard. She looked embarrassed and stopped talking about the competition. She then looked at Nicole with a smile and said, “By the way, the monthly test is in two days. All the best with your test!”

Nicole nodded.

She answered with a quiet yet oddly calming voice, “I will.”

Ms. Emerson looked at her and felt gratified. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly slapped her forehead as if she had just remembered something. She turned to Nicole with a smile and said, “I’m so

forgetful. Your grandma’s here to see you, Nicole. I told your family to wait outside. I ended up forgetting after speaking to you.”

‘Grandma’s here?’ she thought.

Nicole’s cold eyes lit up a little. She quickly thanked Ms. Emerson and headed out of the classroom.

‘Now that I think about it, I haven’t seen grandma for almost a month!’ she thought.

Nicole stepped out of the classroom and saw two people standing by the window. One of them was an old woman; she had graying hair and was donned in green-colored garments. That person was Mrs. Wallace Sr.!

Chapter 365

When Mrs. Wallace Sr. saw Nicole walk out of the classroom, her cloudy eyes lit up. She quickly walked over to Nicole. Nicole watched as Mrs. Wallace Sr. gradually got closer. Her cold gaze started to turn to one that was soft.

She held Mrs. Wallace Sr.’s boney hands and said in a low voice, “What’re you doing here, grandma?”

Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at the granddaughter she raised single handedly and smiled. She then patted her arm and said, “I missed you. Coincidentally, your class teacher wanted to see you as well, so he brought me along.”

Only then did Nicole notice the middle-aged man standing beside her. The man did not have a chance to join the conversation. He was her previous class teacher, Mr. Mills. She did not expect him to be able to continue working at their school.

Nicole gave him a once over when she saw his tightly clasped hands. He was sweating buckets and seemed as though he had trouble speaking his mind. Nicole instantly knew what he was doing here.

Before her brothers left Great Oak, they mentioned that they would donate a sum of money to expand the campus.

‘Mr. Mills must have been sent by the headmaster to ask for investments. It hasn’t even been a month. They really are a bunch of opportunists.,’ she thought.

Mr. Mills had always been scared of Nicole. Ever since Nicole crossed the headmaster, the two of them had been ignoring her. There were even times when he tried to kick her out of school.

He managed to stay by using the excuses that he had taught Nicole for many years and that he would wait for their family’s investment.

However, Nicole’s family had not contacted the school since she left. As a result, he could only look for Mrs. Wallace Sr. and bring her along with him to look for Nicole in San Joto. In reality, he did not like Nicole at all.

Even though he was her class teacher, they were now nothing more than strangers. He was worried that Nicole would ignore him. For that reason, he did not know what to say now that he was looking at Nicole. He had no idea how to bring up the matter of investment.

Nicole was not affected by Mr. Mill’s flattery. She did not want to waste her time on him. She said bluntly, “Mr. Mills, tell the headmaster that the money will be transferred to his bank account really soon.”

The weight on Mr. Mill’s chest was instantly lifted. His expression kept on shifting; he did not know if he was supposed to feel grateful or express his gratitude. In the end, Mr. Mills could only say, “We’re much obliged, Nicole.”

“Mhm.”

Nicole accepted his gratitude and did not continue exchanging pleasantries with him.

Mr. Mills was stunned.

‘Nicole is still so cold even after moving to San Joto. If she manages to do well in San Joto in the future, even pigs can fly!’ he thought angrily.

‘I intended to show her around Royal Creek Institute. I’ve never seen such a breathtaking campus. Moreover, this place is huge. It took me forever to find the teaching and learning, complex,’ he thought again.

Nicole did not pay Mr. Mills any mind. She applied for leave and prepared to take her grandmother out for a meal. After that, she would return to the Riddle family’s house.

Mrs. Wallace Sr. was confused about why Nicole was so cold to Mr. Mills. She looked at her granddaughter and fell into thought.

Then, she turned to Mr. Mills and said, “Mr. Mills, is there a reason you’re still here?”

He told her that he wanted to see Nicole. Now that he had seen her, he could tell her whatever he wanted to say.
