Ch. 481..485: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 481-485

Chapter 481

Mr.Kennedy snorted coldly at Ms.Emerson.He looked at Nicole with clear contempt.

"Ms.Emerson, you seriously can't be thinking that Nicole could win first place and win her bet with me? Her grades are just that.It's fine if she doesn't participate in the Math Olympiad anymore.Let's not waste our time here..."

Nicole sat there quietly as if she had not heard him say anything.She then gave the blabbering Mr.Kennedy an impassive glance.

"Why, Mr.Kennedy? Are you afraid?"

"Me? Afraid?"

Mr.Kennedy let out a laugh before sneering, "You sure are stubborn.Fine, we'll wait with you!"

He sat back confidently as he sneeringly looked at the big screen on the stage.He was somewhat impressed with Nicole's psychological fortitude.

'She refuses to give up first place that even Gary could not get!' Mr.Kennedy looked at the stage impatiently, already thinking about how he would humiliate Nicole and Ms.Emerson when they went back later.

‘I need to tell this to Ms.Thomson and get a reward!'

The host on the stage had taken a new card, and he handed it over to Sebastian Wyance, who had been waiting for a good while now as he smiled at the crowd below the stage.

"Now it's the time for the first -class award! How about we get Mr.Wyance to announce the winner himself? Let me tell you a secret.The winner of the first-class award this time is the only person who had gotten full marks in the history of the Hustuaburg Math Olympiad!"

The crowd erupted in an uproar.

‘Full marks with such difficult questions?"

‘Is this person a robot?! The students of Class B were squeezing their way to where Gary was seated with Vivian in the lead.She wanted to be the first person from Class B to praise Gary; Jack and Wayne followed closely behind.

Gary had brought glory to Class B, and they could not just leave him alone like that! Behind them were a few other students.

All of them sincerely felt that Gary was just too awesome and did not expect him to win the second- class award closest to first place.

The host then continued, ''Then, let's invite our beloved Mr.Wyance to announce the winner of the first- class award!"

Sebastian took the microphone from the host's hand.He smilingly looked at the anticipating students below as he said, "The winner of first place in this Math Olympiad is..."

As he said that, Sebastian looked down at the card, and when he saw the name on the card, his pupils suddenly shuddered as he paused for a few seconds without speaking.

When Mr.Ellison saw his reaction, the former quickly realized what was going on and let out a helpless sigh.

‘So, this old coot saw the name, huh? ...in such a bombastic way, too."

‘It's just straight up unfair"

A look of disbelief soon appeared in Sebastian's eyes, but he quickly understood what was going on.

When Merwin Monroe on the first row saw the look of surprise on the governor's usually impassive face, he was also taken aback.

‘It can't be a coincidence, right?"

Eric Anderson also noticed Sebastian's bizarre reaction.He was seated close by, and his curiosity was literally clawing at him.He thought that it was a difficult name that had stumped Sebastian, and he was wondering if he could provide Sebastian a good impression if he stood up to help.

After a moment of hesitation, he finally stood up and got close to take a look at the name on the card.

As soon as he saw the name, Eric felt a bolt of lightning striking him on the head.

 

Chapter 482

‘That was no difficult name to pronounce"

He could clearly see that name out of two common words.

‘So, the reason Mr.Wyance paused is that.."

As he thought of this, Eric was sweating profusely, and no matter how he wiped them, they did not seem to dry off.

They were not only the ones shocked, and everyone in the Royal Creek Institute too noticed something was strange, but very soon, everyone finally saw Sebastian's mouth move as he slowly read the name out.

"Nicole Riddle."

‘Huh? Nicole got first place?’ Everyone in Class B was stunned.

‘WHAT?!

'What did Mr.Wyance just say?'

‘First place? The first place that we had claimed could only belong to a robot is won by Nicole, the girl whom we had always looked down upon?!' Mr.Kennedy's sneering face froze as he opened his mouth in shock as he looked at the name that appeared on screen, completely stunned.

‘What's going on? Am I hearing this? The first-place winner is actually Nicole?!' ‘This got to be a joke!’ Norah was also completely flabbergasted.

She had been waiting to clown on Nicole, and now the latter got first place?! Gary, who was walking toward Nicole, too stopped.

The moment Sebastian announced her name, his expression instantly changed.

‘Nicole Riddle, is this the Nicole I know?'

‘The first place, the person who got the perfect score, the person who surpassed me, is Nicole, the person I thought to be talking big?!' Recalling all that he had said to Nicole earlier as he thought that Nicole could not win this Math Olympiad bet without him, the ridicule he gave her when he saw her doing the questions, what was all that for? As he thought of that, Gary wanted to hide inside a hole.

Sebastian had regained his composure as his smiling voice soon echoed throughout the hall.

"Miss Nicole Riddle, please come onto the stage to receive your award."

Ms.Emerson had already recovered from her shock as she looked at Nicole and smiled gently.

"Go and collect your award.Don't waste time."

Nicole nodded as she slowly got up and walked toward the stage.She did not do anything of note, yet there was an inexplicable edge to her person.

Everyone looked at the person that had always been ridiculing and could not look away.

Sebastian, too looked at Nicole, who was making his way to him, as a proud look appeared in his eyes.

This precious diamond he found will eventually prove her worth in time.

Nicole walked to the stage and did not even look at Eric as she gently nodded at Sebastian.

Sebastian, too looked at Nicole standing before him.

His voice was gentle and had a tinge of joy and care that was different from his distant official tone.

"Nicole, long time no see."

When he said that, he did not move the microphone away, and his voice was instantly broadcast to all of the audience present.

Everyone looked at the two in shock.

They did not expect Sebastian Wyance to personally know Nicole, and he was catching up with her in full view of everyone.

‘What kind of relationship do they have?'

Chapter 483

Eric Anderson was totally dumbstruck, and Mr.Kennedy had frozen into a statue.

‘Nicole actually knew Sebastian Wyance!' Even Ms.Emerson was surprised at this scene.She did not know her student had such a background.

Both Norah and Raine were even more shocked as their mouths were open agape.

When they saw Sebastian treating Nicole so affectionately, they were very dumbfounded.

'Who is this person that we usually look down upon?’ Gary's hand clenched silently, and he was never clearer as to how foolish he was than now.

He quietly walked back to his seat as he silently looked at Nicole, who was not too far away from him, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Nicole gave Sebastian a helpless look.

She clearly saw that he was speaking to her with the microphone close at hand, which meant that he deliberately wanted everyone to hear this.It made her speechless.

"Long time no see, Mr.Wyance."

Even the host was stunned by this scene as he did not know how to proceed next.

This was originally a very official awards ceremony, and now it had become a large-scale family reunion of sorts.

Moreover, Sebastian was the one who started that.

‘How am I supposed to interrupt him?' Fortunately, the young lady was sensible enough as she pointed at the trophy in Sebastian's hand and softly said, "I'm here for that."

Sebastian finally realized he was here to hand out the award after the reminder.

He cleared his throat and handed the trophy to Nicole.

"This is the award given by the Olympiad committee.I will give you my own award later."

As he said that, Sebastian blinked at Nicole.

Her face was, however, bereft of any expression.She thanked him after receiving the award and turned around to leave.

‘I cannot accept the reward from him"she thought.

Everyone saw that Nicole was not giving Sebastian Wyance any face, and the host too frowned.

Although Sebastian Wyance did not follow the protocols of the awards ceremony, his status was stil] up there.

'Isn't i t too much for Nicole to not give him face like that?’ Thinking of this, the host stepped forward to stop Nicole.

He whispered, "Stop, do not piss Mr.Wyance off!"

Just as he was about to pull Nicole, she dodged to the side and simply just walked off the stage.

Immediately after, Sebastian's icy voice came from behind the host.

"You are the one pissing me off."

This time around, he was not speaking to the microphone, so only the host heard what he said.

He looked at Sebastian in surprise, but the latter ignored him as he nodded to Mr.Ellison and then glanced at Merwin as they left the stage.

Nicole returned to her seat and handed her trophy to Ms.Emerson.She then gave the stunned Mr.Kennedy an impassive look as she said.

"Mr.Kennedy, I'll be waiting for you in class tomorrow."

After that, Nicole ignored Mr.Kennedy's bitter look a s she walked toward the hall's exit.

Ms.Emerson stood there holding the trophy, and before she could react to what had happened, there were many congratulatory voices from the high school teachers around her.

For her to raise a national Math Olympiad champion a t such a young age, Ms.

Emerson was about to get famous! How could those teachers let go of such a future great educator? Mr.Kennedy was shivering in anger as he watched Ms.Emerson being surrounded.

The young male teacher beside him, however, gave him a respectful look.

"Mr.Kennedy, I thought you were pulling my leg just now, but it turned out to be real! That Ms.Emerson sure is incredible, for her to produce the first and second place winners of the Math Olympiad.She is sure a role model! Excuse me, but I'll be heading over to have a look!"

 

Chapter 484

The teacher walked away and disappeared into the crowd.

Mr.Kennedy seethed with anger while staring at his retreating figure.

This was the first time he felt like he hated his own mouth.

‘Why does it feel like I've jinxed myself? Everything that I've said has come true!' he thought.

His thoughts suddenly took a sharp turn.

‘Nicole knows Mr.Wyance; they seem pretty well- acquainted" he thought with panic.

Mr.Kennedy turned to look at his uncle, that was on the stage.He quickly ran up to him.

"What's going on? How does Nicole know Mr.Wyance?" Mr.Kennedy asked.

Eric turned to the dim-witted distant relative of his.He was annoyed about how Nicole treated him and had nowhere to vent.

"You're asking me how she knows Mr.Wyance?" he sneered.

‘If this dimwit didn't bring Nicole up during their phone call, none of this would've happened!' Eric thought.

He glared at Mr.Kennedy before turning around to chase after Sebastian.

Eric was a portly man.

Even though he ran with all his might, he still ran very slowly.

Just as he ran out, he saw Sebastian's car leave.

No matter how Eric shouted after them, they did not stop the vehicle.

Sebastian ignored Eric's attempt at chasing after their car.He met the eyes of his driver and said indifferently, "Stop at the school gate for a while."

Merwin glanced at Sebastian and said in a low voice, "We haven't got time to stop over.We must rush over t o the bidding for that piece of land in Eastville."

He knew that Sebastian had wanted to meet the child for a while now.

However, they had more important things to do at hand.

Sebastian looked at Merwin and gently massaged the area between his brows.

"We still got time for a meal," he responded indifferently.

Merwin was silent.He made a call and booked the best private lounge at The Grove.

They were at the school gate now.

Sebastian winded down the window and watched the students bustle about.

Some students recognized him and looked at him with respect and admiration.He politely greeted them one by one.

Then, he continued watching them quietly in his seat.

Finally, Nicole appeared at the school gate.

She sauntered out with her hands in her pockets.She stood out from the crowd.

Sebastian had a slight smile on his face as he waved at Nicole.

"Nicole! Over here!"

Merwin called out.

Nicole looked at the car in front of her with a blank expression.

Everyone stared in disbelief as Nicole walked indifferently toward the black Volkswagen Phaeton.

The people around them could not hide their shock.

‘Who would've thought that Nicole—the constant subject of ridicule—knew Mr.Wyance.They seem to b e close, too!' they thought.However, Nicole did not care about what they thought.She watched Merwin get out of the car and open the door for her.

Then, she thanked him resignedly.

Everyone stared at Nicole as she got into the car.

The car then sped out of Royal Creek Institute and disappeared from their sight.

For a while, everyone was stunned.

‘I mistreated Nicole and said nasty things to her.If she knows Mr.Wyance as well, what's going to become of me?' they wondered.

 

Chapter 485

Eric finally caught up.He managed to catch a glimpse of someone leaving in Sebastian's car.He then quickly grabbed a random guy who was standing beside him.

"Who left with Mr.Wyance just now?" he asked in a panicked tone.

The guy looked frightened.He gawked at Eric for a moment before speaking.

"Nicole.He left with Nicole!" he said loudly.

‘Nicole.It really was Nicole" Eric thought.

He thought of what he said at the Riddle family's house and felt disheartened.

‘Nicole actually knows Mr.Wyance, so she wasn't talking big" he thought again.

At this thought, Eric unconsciously let go of the guy's collar.He paced around anxiously for a while.

Then, h e clapped his hands as if he had made up his mind and left.

Gary and Ms.Emerson were surrounded by the crowd; the two of them did not manage to catch up with Nicole.He looked in the direction Nicole left and frowned.

‘What's going on? Nicole surpassed me in the Math Olympiad; she got a perfect score and won first place.But she never even did any practice questions.What's more, she knows Sebastian Wyance!' Gary thought.

He had many questions.

However, he was still stuck in the crowd.

Every single congratulatory He was the second place.

However, he still thought that Nicole—in first place—was a fraud.He was well aware that his current score was his limit.He did not know how to solve the problem, and he still would not be able to do so if given a second chance.

‘Nicole surpassed me without breaking a sweat" he thought.

Gary was feeling a mix of emotions.

On countless occasions, he had a gut feeling that Nicole was not what she seemed.

However, he foolishly chose to trust his judgment every single time.

Gary thought of the lonely silhouette from the day of the competition.He stared at the empty hall] entrance and felt immense regret.

Meanwhile, Raine was also looking in the direction where Nicole had left.

‘I never imagined Nicole to win first place.What's more, she knows Mr.Wyance, the man everyone in the Riddle family has been trying so hard to meet!’ she thought.

‘Did Nicole do this intentionally? She hid this from everyone and did not help our family on purpose.She purposefully wanted me to make a fool out of myself!' she thought again.

She was outraged.

Norah was standing with the students from Class A.She had turned purple from rage.

Noah went beside her and whispered, "Norah, since Nicole is from the Riddle family, do you also know Sebastian Wyance?"

‘Norah and Nicole are sisters, after all.Compared to the rest of us, she should have a better understanding of Nicole's academic standards, right? What's more, Nicole must've met Sebastian Wyance through the Riddle family" Noah thought.

Norah turned to glare at Noah.

‘Noah must be adding salt to my wound on purpose, ' she thought.

"I have no idea how she got such a score.I also don't know how she knows Mr.Wyance.All I know is that she's merely a country bumpkin from Great Oak and has a decent-looking..."

Noah stared at her with his mouth wide open when she said the second sentence.He seemed to understand what she said.

‘Does Nicole and Mr.Wyance have that kind of relationship?’ he wondered.

Vivian arrived just in time to hear Norah's words.She narrowed her eyes.

‘If what Norah said is true, then all of this would make sense!' she thought.

She turned to look at Ms.Emerson and Gary with a jealous and unresigned expression.
