Ch. 426..430: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 426-430

Chapter 426

Everyone was stunned when they heard what he said.

‘‘Did I hear him right? Fatty wants to take Nicole to meet Mr.Wyance?’' they thought.

Dillon was the first to start yelling, "What are you going on about? Who is Nicole to meet Mr.Wyance?"

‘‘We've been so busy vying with McCarthy Corporation for that piece of land that even I've had a hard time meeting with Mr.Wyance.Nicole is a nobody; why does she get to meet Mr.Wyance?' Dillon thought to himself.

Damien also frowned.

He looked at Eric doubtfully and said, "Mr.Anderson, you must be joking? Nicole i s nothing more than a student to you.Who is she to meet Mr.Wyance!"

Mr.Riddle Sr.did not question him like the rest.

Instead, he asked politely, "Mr.Anderson, are you confident regarding this matter?"

The Riddle family was currently looking for an opportunity to get to know Sebastian Wyance.

However, they had not found the chance to do so.

Now that the tender proposal was due to commence, Mr.Riddle Sr.was starting to feel anxious.

Mr.Riddle Sr.knew that Eric was not the most reliable person.

Regardless, his appearance gave him some hope.

Damien looked at Eric nervously.He, too, was hoping that he was being serious.

After all, Nicole was still a part of the Riddle family.

As long as Eric had decided o n the matter, Nicole would have to meet Sebastian even if she was reluctant.

Eric stared at Benjamin and said with an air of dignity, "I have my ways."

‘Nicole's Math Olympiad competition is tomorrow, and the awards ceremony is on the day after tomorrow.

Since Mr.Wyance and I will be attending the awards ceremony, I'll find a way to bring her to him even if she doesn't win a position in the competition.

‘If she is the person Mr.Wyance is looking for, I'll benefit from this; and if she isn't, at least he'll know who I am"

Eric plotted away in his head.

Everyone believed him after hearing his seemingly confident statement.

All of a sudden, everyone turned to look at Nicole.

Damien had a stern look while Dillon was looking at her threateningly.

Dexter had an unusually firm look in his eyes; even Mr.Riddle Sr.was looking at her pleadingly.

Meanwhile, Sean frowned.

‘Grandpa has been in the management and executive board for too long.He must've forgotten about the way we handle things here.

‘Why is Eric trying so hard to take Nicole to his meeting with Mr.Wyance? He'll definitely reap plenty of benefits from doing so, but what exactly does he want Nicole to do?' Sean wondered.

Sean's gaze toward Eric grew cold at the thought of this.

"Why are you taking Nicole with you?"

Eric was looking at the dim-witted Riddle family with a smile.He was dumbfounded when he heard the question.He turned to look at the cold young man.

The young man had features that resembled Nicole's.

‘They must be closely related" Eric thought.

He laughed and said, ''That's because Nicole is an outstanding alumna.I plan on taking her to meet with Mr.Wyance because she'll reflect the competence of Royal Creek Institute students."

Sean was not fooled by his words.

He continued looking at Eric coldly and said in a chilly tone, "Nicole is outstanding? But she hasn't even sat for a single test? Why did you choose her of all people?"

‘If he wanted outstanding students, wouldn't Raine and Snow—the long-time top students—be the ones he seeks?' Sean wondered.

Mr.Riddle Sr.quickly realized what Sean meant.

Daniel's gaze toward Eric turned unfriendly as if he had also realized something.

Chapter 427

They instinctively thought that Eric wanted Nicole to do something wicked.

They were unaware that Eric wanted to use Nicole to curry favor from Sebastian.

Both Snow and Raine looked at Nicole with intense jealousy.

‘Meeting Mr.Wyance is an honorable matter, yet Uncle Daniel and his entire family are acting so reluctant.They really don't know what's good for them!' they thought.

Just as the two were about to say something, Chloe sneered.

"Why are you asking such questions, Sean? You're not willing to accept a good opportunity now that you're faced with it?"

Chloe knew what was happening.

She had entered society earlier than Snow and Raine, so she was used t o seeing situations like this.

To Chloe, it seemed like Eric found Nicole pretty and wanted to use her to be acquainted with Sebastian Wyance.

Chloe was happy.

‘How could I not support such a "good opportunity"?

If Nicole actually ends up with Mr.Wyance, she won't have the cheek to go close to Jared! Since Nicole enjoys being under the limelight, I'll help her get under the limelight!' Chloe thought with a look of glee.

Snow and Raine did not understand why Chloe was helping Nicole with such a good opportunity.

Raine was even rooting for Sean just now.

‘Nicole is no outstanding alumna.Snow and I are the prettiest and the top student of our years; we are the ones who have the right to meet Mr.Wyance!' Raine thought.

She glared at Chloe, "Chloe!"

Chloe shot her a side-eye that told her to shut up.

Snow discretely tugged on Raine's hand with a look of resentment.

‘What's wrong with Chloe? Why is she siding with Nicole?!' everyone wondered.

Everyone turned to Nicole; they wanted to hear Nicole's answer.

Many had pressing looks that wanted her to agree to the proposal.

On the other hand, some had looks filled with jealousy.

Eric had a lecherous smile on his face.He was feeling confident.

‘Nicole can't possibly reject me!' he thought.

He asked again for mere formality, "Nicole, we need t o come to a conclusion.Are you willing to go meet Mr.Wyance with me?"

Damien and Dillon looked like they wanted to grip Nicole's head and nod her head for her.

Dexter also had a look of anticipation.

Dillon watched as Nicole remained silent.He yelled impatiently, "Nicole, hurry up and say yes!"

Meanwhile, Daniel and Mr.Riddle Sr.had solemn expressions.

They knew that this opportunity would benefit the Riddle family.

However, they did not know if this opportunity would be disadvantageous to Nicole.

Mr.Riddle Sr.was instantly annoyed upon hearing Dillon's words.

He knocked on his cane and said coldly, ''Be quiet.How Nicole decides is entirely up to her!"

Sean was also looking at Nicole.

‘‘The decision is in her own hands, but I have no idea what she thinks" he thought.

Nicole stared at Eric.He looked so confident that she would go with him.His arrogant expression made him look extra unsightly.

She was not fazed by everyone's gazes.She set down her cutlery and said, "I won't go."

Chapter 428

‘‘What?! She won't go? Nicole actually said that she wouldn't be going!’' they thought.

Everyone present looked at Nicole with astonishment.

Damien and Dillon were furious.

Then, Dillon slammed the table and stood up.

He pointed at Nicole and started screaming, "You think too highly of yourself.Whether you're going or not is not up for you to decide! Today, I'll be the decision-maker.You'll be meeting with Mr.Wyance!"

Damien was also looking at Nicole.He did not refute his brother.

They all knew that Sebastian Wyance could reverse the Riddle family's situation with a single comment.

The McCarthy family had been working with the officials in their province recently.

When this was coupled with the arrogant and disdainful attitude they were giving the Riddle family, Damien and Dillon were almost certain that Mr.Wyance favored the McCarthy family.

Of course they felt worried! Eric was about to say something out of anger.

However, he kept quiet when he saw Damien and Dillon's expressions.He calmly wiped away the sweat on his forehead and waited for Mr.Riddle Sr.to pressure Nicole.

Damien also said, "Nicole, you are a part of the Riddle family.Why aren't you willing to contribute to the family? What's more, meeting Mr.Wyance is such a simple thing.Isn't letting the Riddle family reach greater heights beneficial for all of us?!"

The implication of Damien's words was similar to Dillon's; Nicole had to go even if she was reluctant.

Once they get their hands on that piece of land, countless development projects could be done.

Damien had thought out various plans to reap benefits from it.

Just as he thought that this was about to turn into a missed opportunity, the opportunity presented itself.

‘How could Nicole refuse an opportunity that is knocking at the door!' Damien thought.

Nicole lazily cast her gaze at them.

She said softly, "I'll be returning to campus if there's nothing else.One more thing, if I recall correctly, grandpa gave Sean complete authority over the tender proposal.All of you are so keen on me meeting with Sebastian Wyance because..."

Then, she looked at Damien and Dillion with a sarcastic and chilly gaze.

"What's the matter? Are the two of you trying to take credit?"

Damien and Dillon looked uncomfortable after they heard Nicole's words.

They did intend to take credit.

Sean was very secretive about the proposal.

While Damien managed to get news about his progress, Dillon had no clue at all.

How could the two of them not feel worried when the opportunity was in someone else's hands?

‘Sean isn't willing to let Nicole meet with Mr.Wyance.However, Mr.Anderson looks like he's confident about the matter.If we manage to force Nicole to go, and her appearance changes Mr.Wyance's mind, wouldn't that make the two of us great contributors?! the two schemed in their heads.

Mr.Riddle Sr"s eyes glinted angrily upon hearing Nicole's words.

‘Back when Mr.Wyance still favored our family, Dillon kept crediting Snow.Right now, Mr.Wyance clearly favors the McCarthy family more.Dillon must be messing with me!' Mr.Riddle Sr.thought to himself.At the thought of this, his expression instantly turned purple with rage.Daniel noticed the change in his father's expression.He quickly asked, "Dad, are you alright?"

Mr.Riddle Sr.shook his head.

He looked at Daniel's worried eyes and slowly sighed.

 

Chapter 429

"Since Nicole has made her decision, none of you are allowed to make any remarks."Mr.Riddle Srs voice was not loud but was authoritative.

His eyes scanned the crowd in front of him before landing on Nicole.He then gazed at her beautiful features and said ina comforting tone, "Nicole, do as you please.You don't have to feel restricted."

Daniel added, "Damien, Dillon, stop interfering with Nicki's judgment."

He believed that Nicole had her own reasons as to why she was not going.

At the end of the day, Daniel did not want his daughter to conform to this so-called Mr.Anderson and meet Mr.Wyance.

Who knew what wicked thoughts Mr.Anderson had? Nicole's gaze gradually grew warmer as she looked at the two of them.

She nodded at them before turning around to leave.

Preston quickly prepared to stand up.

However, Stanley had already walked to Nicole's side.

"Let's go, Nicole.I'll drive you back."

Nicole nodded in agreement.

Samuel and Spencer followed them out of the door.

None of them spared Eric a single glance.

Eric was stunned; he did not expect Nicole to be such a tough nut to crack.

The entire Riddle family were tough nuts! He watched Nicole and her brothers walk toward the door.

Eric yelled anxiously, "Aren't you going to reconsider, Nicole? Do you know what it means for the Riddle family if you get to meet and speak with Mr.Wyance?

"I know you all have spent a fortune on that piece of land.It's clear what will happen if your family loses the bid!"

Eric said in an almost threatening tone.

"If you continue acting this way, Mr.Wyance will surely hear about this during our meeting!"

Damien and Dillon panicked upon hearing his words.

Dexter also quickly averted his gaze to Eric.He sounded confident.

It was as though Eric was genuinely acquainted with Sebastian Wyance; he even knew how much the Riddle family had spent for the bid.

They had never heard of the Anderson family.

However, San Joto had been through a lot in the past few years; it was not surprising to see families with new money.

Damien and Dillon glared at Nicole furiously.

Meanwhile, Mr.Riddle Sr"s typically calm expression looked a little worried.

None of them knew about Eric Anderson's true identity.

If he really smeared the Riddle family's name in front of Sebastian Wyance, it would no doubt add fuel to the fire.

Nicole calmly walked out of the Riddle family manor amid everyone's panic.

Her voice echoed clearly within the house, "You're not my only option if I want to meet Sebastian Wyance."

Everyone was stunned by her words; no one went up t o stop Nicole from leaving.

She walked out of the house and prepared to leave with her brothers.

Eric was the first to regain his composure.

He looked a t the Riddle family with a doubtful gaze.

‘‘What does she mean? Did I really underestimate the Riddle family?’’ he could not help but wonder.

 

Chapter 430

However, Eric quickly changed his mind when he saw the Riddle family's reaction.

‘’They all look more stunned than me.It's probably because none of them expected Nicole to say such a shameless thing" he thought.

As expected, Dillon roared with laughter.He was about to tear up from laughing too hard.He slapped the table while saying, "Nicole is so full of herself.She must think that she's a big shot, huh? Is Mr.Wyance someone she can meet just because she wants to? I've booked so many appointments to meet him, yet all of them got rejected.Who is Nicole to meet Mr.Wyance?"

‘Moreover, how dare she call Mr.Wyance by his name? ‘he thought.

Damien gazed at Daniel's clueless face with suspicion.He thought of Mr.Rogers Sr"s attitude and Lyana Rogers's contempt toward Nicole.

‘There must be something going on between Nicole and Mr.Rogers Sr.; she's using him to meet Mr.Wyance" he thought with a disdainful look.

‘Nicole is so stubborn.Is it that hard agreeing to meet Mr.Wyance? Why does she need to do so much for the sake of her ego? Who knows if she and Mr.Rogers Sr.have some kind of unspeakable relationship?' he thought again.

Damien pushed his gold-framed glasses.He looked at Daniel and smiled sarcastically.

‘Daniel and his daughter are so sly.They are smart enough to get close to the most influential people in a , family" he thought to himself once more.

Meanwhile, Miley looked unbothered.She remained in her seat and wiped her mouth.

However, a hint of disdain flashed across her downcast eyes.

It was not that she looked down on Nicole; she merely felt like Nicole was being too boastful.

Mr.Wyance was practically the most influential person in San Joto; he was on the same level as aristocrats.

After all, he was the relative of San Joto's chief executive.

This, to a certain extent, gave him the power to wipe out certain families.

For instance, if the Riddle family loses the bidding this time around, they would end up with no successors.

It would be difficult for them to withdraw resources that they had put forward.

Their status would naturally decline along with their shrinking capital.

In the end, even their long-standing family name would perish! How could Mr.Wyance, someone who could decide on their family's fate, know a nobody like Nicole? Even Mr.Riddle Sr.shook his head.

He looked a little tired, so Daniel helped him to his room to get some rest.

Eric trembled in anger when he saw his plan failing.He ignored Chloe's feigned attempt at consoling him.

Instead, he dashed out the door with all his might.

"Don't be ungrateful when I'm giving you an opportunity.Let's go!"

Nicole did not budge and looked at him coldly.

Not a hint of emotion could be seen on her face.

Samuel slapped Eric's hand away before Nicole could d o anything.

He said to him angrily, ''What're you doing?"

‘‘This guy has grubby hands.Touching him makes me feel sick; after this, I'll have to wash my hands repeatedly to feel clean again.I can't believe he actually tried to grab Nicole with his nasty hands just now!' Samuel thought while looking at Eric with disgust.

Spencer understood how he felt.He walked over and stood beside Samuel, blocking Nicole from Eric.

Spencer watched as Eric panted after running a short distance.He sneered at him and said, "Mr.Anderson, you seem like you need some physical training.Otherwise, how will you run up to Mr.Wyance and slander the Riddle family's name?"

He also heard Eric's threats just now.However, he did not take him seriously at all.
