Ch. 541..545: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 541-545
Chapter 541
Something flashed in Mr.Riddle Sr"s eyes as he looked at the closed door and thought of what Carl had just said.He then turned to look at his son, who was shouting.
There was no trace of sympathy on his face.
"As he should," he said coldly.
‘Would he be threatened by Nicole's friend if he shut his mouth from the start?"
‘That friend of hers is not an ordinary person.It was expected that Dillon would be afraid of him"
‘But how did she meet such a person?’ Mr.Riddle Sr.could not figure it out for the life of him.
He then ignored Dillon, who was still complaining, and walked upstairs.
"Sean, Steve, come with me."
As soon as Snow saw the three of them walk away, she hurriedly went to her father's side.She did not dare speak up for his father at that time.
After all, her position in the Riddle family was at stake.
Dillon was displeased when he grabbed Snow's hand for support.He was angry and embarrassed that he was scared of a foreigner.He then cursed and slowly walked up the stairs.
Not long after, Dexter also turned to walk away.
There was only Chloe and Damien left downstairs.
Chloe looked at her father, who was deep in thought, and gave him a strange look
"Dad, what are you thinking about?" Damien raised his head and glanced at his daughter coldly.
"I'm thinking about what that guy said just now."
'Is he really that high up in the ranks? If that's the case, our family might be nothing in his eyes" he thought.
Damien then looked at his daughter, who was full of curiosity.
However, he did not want to disclose his thoughts to her.
"You should go apologize to your mother, Chloe.You've disappointed her."
After saying that, Damien turned around and walked up the stairs.
Chloe stood there in shock.Her nails dug deep into her palms.
This was the first time she heard someone say the word "disappointed" to her.She could not allow it.
The following day, Nicole woke up in her room.It was still dark when she opened her eyes.
She then quickly washed up and went to school.
Time was of the essence.
Zeke was happily standing at the school field.He thought that this would be the first time Nicole was late.However, he soon saw Nicole's figure emerging from the early morning mist.
Although it was still a little dark out, he could clearly recognize that cold face anywhere.Nicole did not care about Zeke's thoughts.She put her bag on the ground and looked at him with an unexplainable emotion in her eyes.
"I'm with you today," she said.
Chapter 542
Zeke looked at the girl warming up beside him, ready to start. He then quickly went on the track.
‘What's going on? Nicole is running with me?"
He confidently ran behind Nicole because he had a few training days before this.However, it did not take long for Nicole to surpass him by two laps.Like a gust of wind, she ran past Zeke with ease.
When he finally finished the thirty laps, he found Nicole practicing martial arts without any equipment.
Her hands and feet were moving around elegantly.Zeke stood aside and watched.
'This is what I want to learn!' Nicole was fast.
While Zeke was still struggling, she was already at the end.
"Zeke," she said softly.
"Keep doing the task I gave you, and when I get back, I will teach you actual martial arts." Zeke nodded, but he soon realized something was wrong.
"Wait, what do you mean? Where are you going, Nicole?"
By then, Nicole had already picked up her bag and walked away dignifiedly.
"I will call you."
Zeke was stunned as he looked at her figure, walking away.
"Okay," he said gently with a faint smile.
Nicole then walked into the school building and sat in her usual seat.
She started to pack up her things as if she was going to leave.She frowned slightly when she noticed that everyone was staring at her.
Bradley, sitting in the front row, turned to look at her and asked, "Nicole, did you really win the gold medal in the Math Olympiad?"
‘Oh, so it's because of this" Nicole thought.
She nodded her head casually with no change in expression, packed her bags, and started to walk out of the classroom.
As she walked out, Vivian stood up and stopped her.
She could hardly hold back her resentment when she looked at Nicole's beautiful looks.
"Idon't know how you charmed your way into getting Mr.Wyance and Mr.Ellison to back you up, and I don't know how you got first place, but the results of our monthly exam will be out today.Are you leaving because you feel guilty?"
Nicole stared at Vivian, who dared find fault in front of her.
"Step aside," she said.
Vivian was shocked by the cold look in Nicole's eyes, but she did not stop.
"No, you're waiting here till the results are out! I want you to tell us how exactly you cheated in the Math Olympiad!" Voices began to sound in the class after everyone heard Vivian's words.
"Yeah.I saw Mr.Wyance's attitude change when he was with Nicole.What kind of relationship do they have?"
"Didn't Nicole get a zero during the previous Math Olympiad? How did she win first place this time?"
"That's right.She knew that the results for the monthly exam would come out today, but she was trying to run away. She must be guilty."
Chapter 543
Vivian was satisfied when she heard people questioning Nicole's credibility.
However, she still did not dare look her in the eyes.
Vivian stared at the lower half of Nicole's face and said, "Just wait for the monthly exam results to come out, Nicole."
Just when she was acting so arrogantly, a sneer came from behind.
"No matter what, Nicole has won an honor for our class.Before this, Northon Institute always won first place in the Math Olympiad.Now that Nicole has beat them, not only are you all not proud of her, but you're also coming up with conspiracy theories and saying that she cheated?" Jack said as he lazily leaned back.
The class turned red when they heard those words.
"Yeah.Do all of you not know how smart Nicole is? She can solve those low-level math questions at a glance.That's why she got zero on the previous Math Olympiad.She was too lazy to write down the steps!" Lulu added.
"Those who are blinded by their ego do not deserve to see beauty in this world," June said.
Bradley then stood up and walked to Lulu's side.
"They're right!"
As a committee member, he was not very good at talking.
However, he used his loud voice to defend Nicole.
Warmth spread in Nicole's eyes when she looked at the people in front of her.
Suddenly, a somewhat embarrassed voice sounded, "I'm...I'm sorry, Nicole."
The students glanced around and were shocked when they found out that the voice belonged to the boy who first spoke rudely to Mrs.Wallace Sr.The boy stood up and walked to Nicole's side.
He then pushed Vivian's hand that was blocking Nicole and said, "I'm sorry, Nicole.I shouldn't have ridiculed you and your grandma."
His face was as red as a tomato when he bowed his head and said loudly, "I'm really sorry!"
Nicole knew the type of person he was, so she did not forgive him directly.
"I'll pass this on to grandma," she said.
The boy's eyes flashed with gratitude at the sound of that.He nodded his head repeatedly as he whispered, "thank you," before returning to his seat.
His entire being lit up.He was no longer gloomy.
After watching that scene unfold, many people looked at each other in dismay.
They knew that the whole school had apologized to Nicole.
Only a few students from Class B were reluctant to apologize to Nicole.
Many did not want to bow their heads, while a few were embarrassed by how they had previously mistreated Nicole.
However, the boy's action had set a precedent.
Vivian looked at her classmates and was mad.She looked up at Nicole and said, "You b*tch! What kind of sorcery—"
"Enough!"
"Enough!"
Two voices sounded and interrupted Vivian's words.
One sounded cold while the other was disappointed.
Vivian did not believe her eyes when she watched Oliver and Gary speak up for Nicole.
Oliver looked at Vivian, who was on the verge of tears.
His heart reached out for her, but his feelings for her were quickly suppressed after he thought of what she had done.
Chapter 544
"Vivian, stop talking about Nicole.What exactly are you doing every day other than framing, spying, and finding a way to alienate Nicole? How did you become like this?"
Vivian looked at Oliver and sneered.
"Did I frame and spy on her? Do you have proof? Oliver, stop shooting your mouth off here.Don't you forget, Nicole has despised all of you who couldn't beat her on the exam.Yet you still trust her and think I'm wrong about her." Oliver frowned.
'The students of the Royal Creek Institute have always been proud of ourselves.As much as I felt not too happy at hearing what Nicole said, she earned that on her own merit.After all, she won the gold medal in the Math Olympiad competition"
Vivian seemed to have read his mind and laughed sarcastically.She looked at Oliver calmly.
"Didn't you go to the award and see how intimate Mr.Wyance treated Nicole that day? Who would believe there is no hanky-panky going on between them? Even Mr.Ellison, who was always impartial, defended Nicole."
Thinking that she was now holding all the cards, Vivian looked back at Nicole with a sinister pride.
The thought of Gary scolding her because of Nicole upset her.
This was something that he did not even do when she scratched him the other day.
‘I won't allow her to act with impunity again.I'm just doing something good, a favor for our schoolmates" Vivian snickered at the thought of this.
"Can you prove that the prize you received is real, Nicole?" Everyone looked at Nicole suspiciously upon hearing what Vivian had said.
As Vivian sounded as if her accusation was justified, all eyes were on Nicole, as people could not tell what actually was going on.
Nicole looked up nonchalantly, her gaze sharp as if a glinting blade.
"You're really asking for trouble here.Aren't you afraid that I will throw you off the building?"
As she looked at the window on the side, Vivian followed her eyes and shivered in fright.She would never forget the horror of the other day.
But now the situation did not allow her to flinch.
Vivian gritted her teeth and said brazenly, "Nicole, don't be too arrogant just because you can fight.You're at school.Besides, all I'm asking is a factual guess.I dare you to say that you've never cheated."
Just then, the school bell rang.Ms.Emerson walked in with a stack of test papers.She was stupefied for a second at seeing Nicole and all others stand there.
"What are you all doing standing here? Return to your seat.We're going to review the test papers of the monthly exam."
Vivian looked at Nicole with indignation. Instead of returning to her seat, she looked at Ms. Emerson and asked matter-of-factly, "' Aren't the results out today? Why do we still need to review the exam papers?"
Ms.Emerson looked at Vivian, her eyes lacking the fondness that she usually had.
"There is some controversy about who gets first place this time.Mr.Kennedy is looking into it and will probably come over in a moment."
‘What? Isn't Norah from Class A who always holds first place? What controversy is there?’ Even Vivian froze for a second before continuing to ask, "What do you mean, Ms.Emerson? Did someone cheat?"
She gave a sideways look at Gary as she waited for Ms.Emerson to give an affirmative answer.
Chapter 545
'I knew Nicole cheated on the exam, and no way Gary would like such a person"
She did not think Nicole could even do well on the monthly exam.
After all, Nicole did not know the test proctor, and Ms.Thompson and Mr.Kennedy must have kept an eye on her; she could not have had the opportunity to cheat.
"The first place this time is in our class, so Mr.Kennedy has gone to take a look at it."
Vivian and even everyone else were stunned upon hearing Ms.Emerson's explanation.
‘How can it be? Norah has always been first in the grade for many years.The person who gets first place is from Class B this year? Who has snatched first place from Norah?"
Gary's eyes glinted as he looked at Ms.Emerson and Nicole, who stood next to Ms.Emerson, motionless.He had been not too motivated and always been at the bottom of the barrel in exams.But Norah was competitive; she always wanted to get first place.
But this time, it was not her.
There were whispers around, seemingly discussing the issue.
Especially the top few students in the class; they all sat up straight with excitement, expecting to see their names at the top of the result chart.
Hoping that their efforts would pay off.
Thinking of this, people looked at Nicole with scornful eyes.
Thinking of what she said and her haughtiness, they felt retribution exacted finally.
‘It's ridiculous.A brazen person from the countryside couldn't have possibly gotten first place"
Only a few people thought of the Math Olympiad gold medal that Nicole had just won, and looked worriedly at Nicole.
Nicole was expressionless.She checked her watch and figured that she still had enough time.
At first, she wanted to check her exam result at Ms.Emerson's office, but since she had to wait a while, she returned to her seat.Ms.Emerson saw Nicole's good manners and was gentle toward her.
She then looked sternly at Vivian and said, "What's wrong with you? Don't you know the class has started? What are you waiting for?"
Vivian felt wronged and looked at Ms.Emerson with reddening eyes.
This time, even Oliver, who had always cared for her, did not look at her or comfort her.She sat back down in her seat, cursing Nicole incessantly in her mind.
Even Mr.Kennedy, who had delayed the issuance of the results, became a target of her hatred.
‘Had he not been such a busybody, Nicole's results would have been clear and everyone would have known that Nicole cheated on the Math Olympiad, and that she had a character problem"
Vivian told herself not to worry, as Nicole's true face would be exposed in a while.
It was recess time, and Mr.Kennedy had still not come over.
Ms.Emerson checked her watch and frowned.She wondered what Mr.Kennedy was doing.
Nicole had a contemptuous look in her eyes, and after class, she got up to go outside.
Just at this moment, the door of Class B suddenly opened with Mr.Kennedy emerging from the inside.
