Ch. 471..475: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 471-475

Chapter 471

Nicole then heard him calmly speaking to Mr.Riddle Sr.

"The reason I'm here today is to make it clear to the Riddle family."

"If you lot cannot protect Nicole, I won't hesitate to take her away."

His eyes were impassive, yet just by standing there, it was as if an invisible pressure piling upon everyone's head, causing them to inexplicably feel like they were suffocating.

When Chloe saw this, a strange look appeared in her eyes.

Jared looked faintly at Dillon and his family.

His voice was calm, yet when a chill came upon them when they heard his words.

"Mr.Riddle.Sr.if there is someone that you find difficult to teach a lesson to, allow me then."

How could Mr.Riddle Sr.not grasp the hidden meaning behind Jared's words? As he looked at Nicole, whose face bore little expression, he realized that he had been too soft all this while, that he allowed Dillon and his family to take advantage and overstepped their boundaries.

Seeing the two standing before him, he finally understood what Mr.Johnston Sr.had meant.

Here he was still foolishly trying to groom Nicole to b e worthy of Jared, yet by the looks of things, the two of them had already secretly had feelings for one another.

Seeing how protective Jared was toward Nicole, it would be difficult for things to resolve unless he provided a response.

After all, they were saved by Mr.Johnston Sr., and all of that was because of Nicole.He could not continue defending Dillon anymore with good conscience.

As he thought of that, Mr.Riddle Sr.walked toward Dillon and smacked the latter with his walking stick.

Dillon immediately fell to the ground.

His face twisting and contorting because of the severe pain, with a perplexed look still on his face.

"Dad, what are you doing?!"

Mr.Riddle Sr.did not say anything as the walking stick in his hand landed on Dillon again and again, each blow landing with full strength.

"Dad, stop, please! Ahhh!"

Dillon begged for mercy, but Mr.Riddle Sr"s beating got even more brutal.

Dillon rolled on the floor in pain, and soon bruises appeared all over his body as he screamed.

Karen was very distressed when she saw Dillon suffer like that.

She immediately looked at Damien and Dexter as she yelled.

"Damien, Dexter, stop Dad! He's going to kill Dillon!"

Both Damien and Dexter looked at Dillon before them, but neither of them moved.

They were lucky this time.

If they were to allow Dillon to bring harm to them again, they dare not imagine what would happen next time.

Seeing that they were keen to simply just stand and watch, Karen gritted her teeth in anger, but there was nothing she could do.

Snow and Raine were so frightened they were hugging each other, refusing to look at that cruel scene.

Yet, the thud of the walking stick beating on Dillon and his wailing still reached their ears.

They gave Nicole a resentful look, but they caught Jared's impassive gaze, and they immediately looked away in fear.

Mr.Riddle Sr.had only just recovered, and he had used all of his strength to beat Dillon dozens of times.

Soon he was panting, but yet he gritted his teeth as he continued to beat the latter with undiminished strength.

When Nicole saw him struggling, she frowned and said coldly, "Enough."

Mr.Riddle Sr.looked at Jared, and upon seeing the latter's expression was still impassive, he lifted his stick to continue the beating.

Nicole gave Jared a helpless look.It was not that she was sympathetic to Dillon, but Mr.Riddle Sr.had, after all, treated her well, and she did not wish to watch him struggle like that.

Chapter 472

Jared understood her intent as he grabbed her hand and slowly said.

"Enough."

Mr.Riddle Sr.continued to beat Dillon a couple more times before putting down his stick.

Seeing that the former was a little winded, Daniel immediately stepped forward to help him.

After learning that the Rogers family had kidnapped Nicole, Daniel felt no guilt about Dillon receiving that beating.

"How can I allow you lot to bully my daughter that I finally found after so long!' Mr.Riddle Sr.looked at Jared.

Since he had already done what he did, Jared should know very well where he stood on this matter.

Indeed, Jared did not make things difficult for the old man as he glanced at Snow and Raine before walking out with Nicole without saying a word to anyone else.

When Chloe saw the two walking past her like that, and Jared not even giving her a glance, she bit her lips in humiliation and wanted to stop Jared.

"Mr.Johnston, you..."

Before she could even finish, Jared had already stepped out of the Riddle family manor's door.He did not leave straight away but instead brought Nicole to look at the security outposts the Johnston family had setup up across the manor.

Jared did not say much, and once they were done inspecting and returned to the main gate, Nicole looked at him.

When she saw that he was still looking at her using a side glance, she felt tickled as she said.

"Don't worry, there won't be the next time."

It then did Jared turn to look at her.

The storm between his eyes had yet to fade away, and his expression was cold and serious when he looked at her.

"Don't allow yourself to fall into such danger.You're lucky I was in time this time; things might be very different the next time."

Nicole knew that he was just worried about her, so she nodded.She had rarely allowed herself to be on the back foot, but this time, she had indeed been negligent.

Jared gave her one final glance before finally leaving the Riddle family manor.

When Nicole slowly walked back, she noticed that everyone was looking at her with a rather strange look.Her expression did not change.She ignored the furious gaze of Dillon and his family as she went straight to Mr.Riddle Sr.and Daniel.

"Grandpa, Mom, Dad, are you alright?"

Mr.Riddle Sr.looked at Nicole as he sighed and said softly.

"Good girl, Grandpa's fine."

Daniel and Gloria, too, indicated that they were fine.

Gloria directly hugged Nicole to check on her and was only relieved after discovering the latter did not suffer any injuries.

Nicole allowed her mother to check on her, and when she noticed her father's hesitating look, she helplessly said.

"Dad, just ask what you want to ask."

Seeing that his daughter had seen through his intention, Daniel asked somewhat embarrassedly.

"Nicole...what's your relationship with Mr.Johnston...? He had thought that his girl would be slightly bashful, but instead, Nicole replied almost nonchalantly.

"We are just...friends."

She paused for a bit and felt that friends best suited their current relationship.

After all...neither of them had deliberately made clear the relationship between them, and she did not want to be too presumptuous.

Hearing her say, Chloe gave her a dismissive snort.

"If he is just a friend, why would he move mountains and rivers just for you?"

Chapter 473

Nicole gave her a chilly glance, her voice impassive.

"Up to you to believe it or not."

When Chloe heard her seemingly provocative words, she was so pissed off that she immediately stood up and pointed at Nicole.

"Don't be so full of yourself so soon! Even if the two of you have something on, it's impossible for Mr.Johnston to be serious toward you.Just you wait for the day of you being dumped to come!"

Nicole could not be bothered to respond, but Mr.Riddle Sr.violently slammed his walking stick as he yelled.

"Chloe, shut your mouth!"

It only then did Chloe reluctantly shut her mouth, but her gaze toward Nicole stil] had resentment in it.

After seeing Jared's unusual treatment of Nicole, Chloe's mental state was out of sorts.

Both Damien and Dexter looked at Nicole and did not expect her to really gain the favor of the Johnston family.

By the looks of things, they are close enough that Jared would come to the Riddle family manor to support Nicole.

‘How could we dare to displease her in the future?' Mr.Riddle Sr.pondered for a moment before finally asking Nicole a rather strange question.

"Nicole, your Uncle Dillon seemed to have looked for Lyana to hold us back.How did it become Christo in the end? Without the intervention of the Johnston family, we might not have walked out of that

place."

Nicole looked at Mr.Riddle Sr..Her eyes were calm as she answered.

"Christo Rogers wanted to get a special medicine from me.He probably got word of Lyana and Dillon's plans, so he got Shawn to hijack the plan.On the one hand, he told Lyana that he would help her detain you guys, but in reality, he wanted to use your safety as leverage against me."

‘So that's the reason"

Both Damien and Dexter wanted to say something, but thinking that Nicole had inexplicably cured Mr.Riddle Sr.and had also allowed him to recover too easily, she might really have some special medicine on her.

‘This Nicole has too many secrets on her"

Snow and Raine stood back to a corner, together with Karen, helped the whipped Dillon up.

After what Jared had said, their family had completely lost their place i n the Riddle family and could, at the moment, only stand in the distance and not even sit.

Mr.Riddle Sr.looked at them as his voice was seething with an icy chill.

"Snow, get ready to go overseas once the exam is over!"

This was an exile in disguise.

Snow's expression immediately changed as she looked at Mr.Riddle Sr.and pleaded.

"Grandpa, I don't want to go overseas.Please allow m e to stay and tend to you!"

Mr.Riddle Sr"s expression did not change as he said, "I've already given you a chance, yet you dared to lay your hands on your own family members.So, separation is probably for the best."

Snow could sense the faint loving intent in Mr.Riddle Sr"s words.

Thinking of Harvey, she gritted her teeth and said, "Grandpa, I still need to go to a banquet with Harvey.You can't send me away just like that.I promise, there won't be the next time!"

Raine, too, chimed in, "Yes, Grandpa, Snow was just led astray.Mr.Johnston has already warned us, so please give us one more chance!"

Mr.Riddle Sr.looked at Nicole.He was indeed hesitating, and Nicole could tell that he found it hard t o find the words.

She gave Snow and Raine a casual glance and said nothing.

It only then did Mr.Riddle Sr.finally say, "This is your final chance, Snow.If there is a next time, I'll send you away, no matter what."

Snow immediately nodded as she assisted Karen in helping Dillon up.

Raine followed behind the three of them as they returned to their floor.

When she got up to the second floor, Snow's expression immediately changed.

She pretended to be looking at Nicole, and when she saw the indignity her family had suffered, a raging hatred roiled within her.

 

Chapter 474

Although the Riddle family was turned upside yesterday, the exam was on the next day.

Nicole and her brothers, and everyone else had come t o school earlier.

The moment Nicole walked into the classroom, she saw her trashed desk in the midst of the clean and tidy classroom.

An icy gleam flashed across her eyes as she coldly swept her gaze upon the people around her as she picked her desk back up.

As she looked at her books on the floor, her eyes turned even colder.

Even though her voice was not loud at all, it sent a chill down everyone's spine.

"Who did that?"

No one answered.

Vivian then irritably spat, "Can you keep quiet? Can't you see everyone is revising?"

Vivian looked at the mess before her with some glee.

Lulu then whispered, "Vivian started it first, then a few others came to step on your books.

We could not stop them in time."

Nicole nodded as she walked toward Vivian with an impassive face before tossing the latter's books into the ground and pulling her up by grabbing her hair.

Vivian did not expect Nicole to dare to lay her hands o n her.

The pain on her scalp almost forced her tears out.

She tried to pull away Nicole's hand as she screamed.

"Nicole, are you insane? What are you doing?!"

Nicole's face remained expressionless.

She looked impassively at Vivian's face as she kicked her desk over.

A phone then fell out of it, the screen shattering as it lit up.

"What am I doing?"

Vivian stared at Nicole; the latter's eyes were so cold that they could seemingly freeze her over.

That made Vivian shrank in fear.

Nicole looked at Vivian as she dragged the latter toward the class window and pressed her directly against the opened window.

As she looked at Vivian's struggling face, she domineeringly said.

"Look at the scenery down there."

Vivian fearfully looked at Nicole.

This was the fifth floor, and Nicole had pressed half her body out of the window.

With a slight turn of her head, she could see the hard cement floor and the green belt down below.

All of her upper body weight was held by Nicole's hand grabbing onto her hair.

‘What scenery? This Nicole is straight-up insane!' Vivian dared not struggle any longer.

Her strength against Nicole was like an ant trying to shake a tree.

She was more worried that Nicole would let go and she would just die there and then.

Sensing the emptiness behind her back and the pain from her hair being pulled, Vivian started crying.She really regretted listening to Harvey and provoking Nicole like this.

Vivian's eyes were red from crying as she screamed with a frightened voice, "It's my fault, Nicole.I'm sorry! Please let me go!"

When everyone saw this scene, they fell silent for a moment.

Gary looked at Nicole and frowned disapprovingly.

Nicole heard Vivian's pleas, and she tilted her head a little.

The chill on her face was still there, and her delicate face looked extremely indifferent under the sunlight.

Vivian could feel Nicole's fingers slowly letting go of her hair.

Her voice was already hoarse from her screaming, yet Nicole remained unmoved.

She finally let go of her hand, grabbing onto Vivian's hair, and just as the latter truly fell into despair, Nicole grabbed her collar and pulled her back at the very last minute.

Out of danger, Vivian immediately squatted down as she trembled and breathed heavily, unable to even cry.

‘I'm...I'm still alive!' Nicole simply just stood there as she looked at Vivian before her.

Her eyes were emotionless as she whispered a question.

 

Chapter 475

"Was the view nice?"

Vivian simply just nodded as she curled up and dared not look Nicole in the eyes.

Nicole looked at everyone in Class B before casting her gaze back onto Vivian.

"Next time, every time you provoke me, I'll take you for a scenic ride like today."

Her words were spoken slowly, yet there was an unbridled coldness to them.

"You hear me?"

Vivian knew she was not joking and immediately nodded.She was like a frightened rabbit that had finally realized the difference between her and the raptor above and dared not make any provocations.

Nicole did not say much else as she turned around and walked to her seat.

No one else dared to say a word.It was almost an exam already.

They knew nothing about this.

Vivian gritted her teeth, and she quickly got up and ran out of the classroom, telling Ms.

Emerson that she was going to take her papers to Class A.

Ms.Emerson was a little surprised, but she did not ask much.

After all, the papers were the same, and each class had its invigilator, so it was the same no matter where they took their papers.

Vivian nodded.

When she recalled that terrifying scene again, she closed her eyes.

She still dared not go back to class for now, and she dared not face Nicole.

Everyone in Class B was trying to memorize the formulas in the book when they still had time.

No one went to ask where Vivian went to, as if that scene had never happened.

Lulu and June were quickly going through their books, while Bradley took some time to look at Nicole and found her actually having a book out as she flipped through.

Bradley looked somewhat surprised.

"Nicole, you've done your revision?"

‘And here I thought she will definitely not revise!' Nicole gave him a glance and said, "Yeah, just did."

Bradley gave her a surprised look as he then whispered, "Nicole, the questions this time is done by Mr.Hancock from the next door Northon Institute, that same Mr.Hancock who did the Math Olympiad questions! You know how difficult his questions were, right? It's literally inhumane!"

Nicole recalled the Math Olympiad questions she did back then, and the corners of her lips raised a little.

"That sounds quite interesting then."

Jack's snort soon came from beside her.

"Nicole, continue to boast then.The results will be out soon, and I'm interested to see what your grade is like."

Jack's voice was quite loud, and a few people looked over.

Upon seeing Nicole's expressionless face, however, they quickly looked away.

It was almost time for the exam.

They had no need to waste their time on Nicole.

Thinking of what she said, where she could not be bothered with them putting in all their efforts, a surge of dissatisfaction appeared in their eyes.

At the same time, a tinge of fear appeared as well.

It was finally time, and the teacher had distributed the test papers.

Everyone put away all of the reference materials in their hands as they started to confidently answer the question.

Yet, when they got to the end, their expression gradually became one of consternation.

By the time everyone got out of the exam hall, most o f them were in a daze.

‘What is this? Why is it so different from what we have revised?!'
