Ch. 411..415: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 411-415
Chapter 411
In the face of her attitude, Ms.Thompson's temper flared.She stared icily at Nicole as she raised her voice.
"You have the cheek to ask what did you do? You are causing trouble here and affecting the studies of others.Do you not know that the exam is next Monday! I want to see what sort of grades you'll get.If you dare to get zero like in the mock test, then just Wait to get expelled!"
Nicole looked at Ms.Thompson's stereotypically serious face.If it was just her face alone, no one would expect this meticulous teacher to be corrupt.
Not to mention that this teacher was also someone who misused her authority to exact personal vengeance.
When Nicole thought of this, she felt a little ridiculous.She raised her eyebrow a little and tossed aside all pretense of politeness.
"Just wait for the results then."
All the talk about her affecting the results was just an excuse for Ms.Thompson to come and pick a fight with her.
When Ms.Thompson heard what Nicole said, she was caught off guard at first before hissing irritably, "Who doesn't know that Class B is no match for Class A.No matter how you try, you cannot surpass them.I know this very well.No one is hoping you to add to the grades.Instead, it'll be more than enough if you lot don't hold everyone else back!"
She thought that when Nicole talked about the results, it was for her to see if Class B's performance had regressed or not.
‘Class B's performance is many times worse than Class A.Nicole is just shirking of responsibility.I don't want to listen to her at all.
‘She sure is cunning! She actually wanted to use the class average to hide her personal shortcomings! ' Ms.Thompson thought that she had seen through Nicole's tricks and was awed by her own intelligence a s she looked at Nicole with even more contempt.
‘No matter how smart Nicole is, she cannot escape the palm of my hands"
Thinking of this, Ms.Thompson frowned and wanted to say something else, yet before she could open her mouth, Nicole's calm voice rang out instead.
"It isn't based on Class B's results."
Nicole looked at the conceited Ms.Thompson and rather patiently elaborated.
"It's my own results."
Ms.Thompson looked at Nicole's calm face in astonishment as she then asked a question in a daze.
"What did you say? Your individual results?"
She then laughed uncontrollably.
‘This brat sure is funny.She gets cocky at the thought that her results in Great Oak were decent.Any bottom feeder in Royal Creek Institute can score better than her! She's too conceited!' This was the reason why everyone was making fun of her when Nicole said she wanted to give tuition to Austin and the others.
They all thought that if Austin was the first place from the bottom, Nicole's Esperian grades at Great Oak might be very well the same as Austin's.
Not to mention that the quality difference in teaching and scoring was so different.
None of these proud students thought that Nicole, who was from a rural place, could compete with all of them who had undergone many rounds of selection.
This was also the reason why most in the Royal Creek Institute refused to accept Nicole.
To them, Nicole was a person who had got in through some connections.
They felt that she was not fit to sit and study together with them.
Moreover, their campus queen needed to be the epitome of beauty, intellect, and grace, with no shortcomings in either category.
No matter how beautiful and skilled she was, they perceived she was intellectually behind them.
In their eyes, a person with bad results was straight away marked as useless garbage.
Everyone looked at her.
'I never expect a brainless bimbo like Nicole would say that the bet would be based on her result"
Many had stopped badmouthing Nicole without reason, but when they heard her saying such a hilarious thing, they could not help but laugh at her with a low voice.
"The ignorant are always fearless."
‘Doesn't she know that Royal Creek Institute is filled with geniuses? Any single one of us could be the ace i n other schools"
When they thought of this, they looked at Nicole with some pride in their eyes.
Chapter 412
Nicole did not look at the people around her as she calmly stared at Ms.Thompson, who was still laughing.She then closed the book in front of her.
'Better not let her saliva stain my book' When Ms.Thompson saw Nicole's action, she suddenly stopped laughing.
‘Nicole sure has thick skin.She is so unperturbed after being humiliated like this.It is as if she had quite the confidence"
Yet, Ms.Thompson pondered, 'Nah.How could it be possible? Previously, Nicole's mock test result was there for all to see.Noone would deliberately score zero to fail their test"
She looked coldly at Nicole, disdain seeping out of her eyes.
"Nicole, since you dare to say that, I'll wait and see."
Ms.Thompson paused for a moment.
As she looked at the girl who did not even look back at her, a tinge of schadenfreude appeared in her voice.
"Remember what I said.If you still score zero, you can forget about coming to this school ever again!
"You hear me?!"
Nicole was not at all perturbed by her intimidation.
Vivian, who was seated at the front, turned around to look at Nicole with a trace of malice in her eyes.
"Ms.Thompson, Nicole has purposefully disturbed us to drag our grades down so it will not be obvious even if she scores poorly!"
‘Oh? Is that so?' thought Ms.Thompson when she heard what Vivian said.She felt that it made sense.
She then squinted her eyes as she looked at Nicole, not expecting the latter to be such a scheme.
‘Indeed, if everyone else does poorly, she won't look out of place even if she scored poorly herself"
"Nicole, I never thought you to be such a scheming person!"
Many were carried away by Vivian's words and took it for real.
After all, Nicole had so many things happening around here that they were distracted trying to keep up with everything!
‘No wonder she is not afraid to let Ms.Thompson look at her result.It turned out she is plotting this!' Everyone then gave Nicole a slightly resentful look.
' What a b*tch you are, Nicole!'
‘We thought you were not a bad person, but now it seems like there is indeed something wrong with your character"
Gary, who was seated at the back, too looked at Nicole with his brows furrowed, a trace of doubt appearing i n his eyes.
‘All this while, Nicole has not been paying attention t o class, nor has she attended the Math Olympiad classes, yet she is boasting here, ' thought Gary as his expression changed a little.
‘Could it be that she is trying to drag everyone's grades down like what Vivian said?' Vivian looked at Gary's gradual solemn expression and felt good inside.
'I finally got Gary to see Nicole's true personality!' Vivian then gave Nicole a righteous look, yet a deep sense of schadenfreude was inside her eyes.
'Let's see how you come out of this unscathed!"
Nicole glanced at Vivian and gave Ms.Thompson a totally impassive look as she said, matter-of-factly, "I've never planned to affect the grades of others."
She gently tapped the desk with her index finger.
When she recalled how Mr.Riddle Sr.hoped that she would do well in this exam, she looked at the people who were mocking her so wantonly and let out a proud and condescending smile.
"I'm not at the least bothered if all of them give their best.So why would I even bother affecting their grades?"
‘WHAT?! Everyone looked at Nicole, with only Lulu, June, and Bradley sitting calmly where they were, not even blinking.
Chapter 413
Jack and Wayne, who did not understand what was going on, gawked as they looked at Nicole.
Being looked down upon like this, even they, the bottom ranking students, are angered, much less those uppity high-achievers! Sure enough, after listening to what Nicole had said, everyone looked at her angrily.
If it were not for Ms.Thompson still standing there, they would probably have rushed over to teach her a lesson.
Even Ms.Thompson was rendered speechless by that.
By the time she realized what Nicole was on about, her face was fuming red.
"Nicole, you are..."
Ms.Thompson wondered, 'Is she hopelessly stupid, or is she just way over-confident?' Immediately after, Ms.
Thompson curled her lips as she looked at Nicole and turned to leave.
"Fine, since you are that conceited, let's just see how things go then." She thought, ‘Nicole is stupid enough to offend the entire class.I have no need to bother about her.I can just leave her there to fend for herself!'
Just as Ms.Thompson was about to walk out of Class B, Nicole's flat voice came from behind.
"Ms.Thompson, don't forget about our bet."
Ms.Thompson was taken aback for a moment before recalling the bet she made with Nicole for that fool, Austin.
If Austin were to get into the top twenty in this exam, Ms.Thompson would need to apologize to him before everyone in school.
If Austin failed to do so, then Nicole would need to leave the Royal Creek Institute!
‘Well, it seems like that bet did not matter at all.
After all, if Nicole does not do well this time around, I will expel her from the school!
‘As for Austin and those bunch of useless garbage, no doubt that them getting into the top twenty from the bottom is already a tall order!' thought Ms.Thompson as she sneered while staring at Nicole.
She then said loudly.
"I'm a woman of my words, but I'll advise you to worry more about yourself! If Austin cannot get into the top twenty, you'll be expelled!"
As she said that, she strode out as if she had just won a battle.
After Ms.Thompson left, many wanted to ask Nicole what she meant! But after seeing her cold, indifferent eyes, many quickly calmed down.
No one dared to provoke her, but their gaze was full of disgust and disdain.
‘Nicole's words were simply just too conceited.To say that she could not be bothered even if we were to give ours all].She probably knew that she could not beat anybody, so she went crazy!'
‘We have no time to be bothered with a lunatic like her!'
When Vivian heard Nicole, she too thought the same.
‘Nicole must be out of her mind for her to say such a thing!' A silent smile appeared in her eyes as she looked at Nicole with an eye full of ill-intent.
‘Nicole, Nicole, you've offended everyone in Class B.It isn't that I don't want to help you, but I'm powerless myself"
As she thought of this, Vivian said, "Nicole, everyone heard what you said.As the class rep, I will make sure you see through what you said!"
There was a hint of schadenfreude in her tone as if she wanted to get rid of Nicole as soon as possible.
"If you only know how to talk big and not pull off what you said, you'll have to bear the consequences.Don't go back on your words when the time comes!"
Vivian thought, ‘Ms.Thompson said If Nicole's grades are poor again this time, she'll be forced to drop out of school! The day has finally come! Once she is expelled, the school will return to normal"
On the other hand, Nicole's expression did not change at all.
As she looked on impassively at Vivian, her voice had a tinge of iciness that could directly pierce one's heart.
"Isn't this what you want?"
Chapter 414
Vivian was stunned, and she could not maintain her expression.She had always been the upright class rep who cared about everyone.She got so carried away that what she said sounded rather biased.
Oliver looked at Vivian with a stunned expression, a trace of disappointment appearing in his eyes.
"Nicole, what do you mean by that? What did you take our class's collective effort for? For you to so sarcastically proclaim that all our efforts are not comparable to yours, a person who doesn't even pay attention in class at all?"
Nicole glanced up at her with a trace of inexplicable iciness in her voice.
"You claimed that I have ulterior motives, and they chose to believe your foolish claims.So, I have no choice but to prove it, right?"
She leaned back against the chair.
Her face was clearly expressionless, yet it had a sharp edge to it that made i t impossible for anyone to look away.
Gary stared at Nicole in a daze as he felt that figure on the racetrack inexplicably appearing before his eyes.
And when everyone heard what Nicole said, all of them were stunned.
"Yeah, we have always been subjectively judging Nicole's thoughts and actions.We've always chosen t o believe anything that was against Nicole.
Could it be because of that Nicole had no choice but to choose such a merciless way to prove her innocence? ‘To cut off all connections with us, she said something that had no room to turn back so that she could let everyone hear her voice clearly.
"But Nicole did not even deign to be bothered about u s, So there was no need to hide anything.
‘Even so, she did not need to say something like this when she had no intentions of affecting our studies"
Everyone looked at Nicole and, for a time, was at a loss on how to react.
Nicole was not at all concerned about what they were thinking as she just sat there and waited for the school bell to ring.
Mr.Kennedy was seated in Ms.Emerson's office for a drink.He looked at her packing up her teaching materials before him with a sarcastic look on his face.
"Ms.Emerson, the Math Olympiad is about to take place soon.I wonder, how's your class's preparation?"
The students they had picked were all fully prepared a s this time they were aiming for the prizes! Thinking of the zero-score Nicole in Ms.
Emerson's class, Mr.Kennedy chuckled softly, his tone extremely sarcastic.
"Once the Math Olympiad is over, we'll have the honor to witness the first Royal Creek Institute student come back with a zero!"
"And it'll be that Nicole from your class!"
Ms.Emerson looked at Mr.Kennedy indifferently, who was boasting, and she said nothing.
It was Mr.Louis who came in to discuss some maths questions with Ms.Emerson, who shook his head in disagreement.
"Mr.Kennedy, don't jump to conclusions that soon."
In his heart, Nicole had always been an unpredictable one.
Yet, Mr.Kennedy only gave Mr.Louis a cold look.
' He's just a maths teacher and has little prestige in school.He can't even be a head teacher, so he can't do anything at all"
Thinking of this, Mr.Kennedy gave Mr.Louis a glance as he said, "Mr.Louis, you're already in this sorry state, so don't bother trying to lecture me, yeah?"
Mr.Louis knew this was the typical Mr.Kennedy, so he shook his head and said nothing else.He then got up as he chuckled, and said goodbye to Ms.
Emerson.
"Ms.Emerson, you should go to your class.Let's not delay."
As he said that, he walked out, not giving Mr.Kennedy a look at all.
Chapter 415
Seeing that Mr.Kennedy did not even take him seriously, Mr.Louis felt there was no need for him to tell the former why Nicole had scored zero previously.
‘Let's just wait for Nicole to slap him on the face"
Mr.Louis could not help but to want to see Mr.Kennedy's face when the time came.
Ms.Emerson had walked behind him and out of her office as she casually locked the door behind her.
Mr.Kennedy found it difficult to keep his composure when the two were ignoring him.
Seeing that Ms.Emerson was about to lock him inside her office, he gave a dissatisfied yell.
"Ms.Emerson, what's wrong with you? Can't you see there's someone in here? Why are you locking the door?"
When Ms.Emerson heard his voice, she turned around and gave him a surprised look.
"Mr.Kennedy, whose office is this again?"
Mr.Kennedy did not catch the drift and thought this woman had lost her mind, so much so that she did not recognize her own office, so he disdainfully said, "Ms.Emerson, what are you saying? This is, of course, your office."
Ms.Emerson stood outside with her teaching materials in hand as she said with a half-smile.
"Since it's my office, why can't I lock it when I'm out?"
When Mr.Kennedy heard that, he was at a loss for words and could only stare at her for a good while before finding his tongue.
"There's still someone inside! Can't you wait for me t o leave before locking?"
As he said that, he increased his pace as he walked to the door.
Ms.Emerson looked at him impassively as she stood by the door.
Mr.Kennedy thought she was scared into submission by him.
'She has always been meek before me.She has never said anything back.It must be the same now too!'
Yet, just as he was about to step out the door triumphantly, Ms.Emerson's soft voice rang out.
"I was about to lock the door because there was no one inside."
Mr.Kennedy thought, 'What did she mean?"
It took him a good while to realize that Ms.Emerson was implying that he was no one! He was so angry that the cup in his hand shook, splashing hot water all over himself as he screamed.
"Ms.Emerson, just you wait! Once the exam results are out, let's see if you can pull that look at me again! Ms.Thompson had already promised me that once the exam results are out, the best teacher award is mine! Just you wait!"
Ms.Emerson did not even look back as she swept her hair aside, and her face was no longer fearful.
‘In any case, since the two of them are complicit, I will suffer no matter what I do, so why should I continue to be aggrieved?'
After class, Ms.Emerson called Nicole over to her side and went through the time and date of the Math Olympiad.
Nicole looked at her face as she seriously noted them down.Her expression still remained impassive.
Vivian looked at Nicole, her gaze icy.
Many, too, were dissatisfied when they saw Ms.Emerson was so close to Nicole.
'Ms.Emerson is actually hoping for Nicole to score?’
They could forgive what she said earlier, but they did not believe Nicole, whom they assumed to be academically inept and trouble-causing, could get good results! Thinking of what Nicole said earlier, many were still disdainful of her.
Yet, Nicole was not bothered by what they were thinking.
After she was done talking to Ms.Emerson, she slothfully packed her stuff up as if she was totally unconcerned about everything here.
