Ch. 666..670: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 666-670

Chapter 666

"I wanted to take good care of my grandmother before this.I did not want to disturb your life too."

‘The Riddle family already had a daughter.They were a happy family.And I want to take good care of my grandmother.That was why I didn’t want to come back to the Riddle family.That was until my grandmother found out about it.I didn’t want her to feel guilty.I didn’t want my parents from the Riddle family to be sad as well.That was why I came back" Nicole thought.

Mr.Riddle Sr.had an unspeakable feeling as he looked at Nicole.

"She knew everything.She had to bear all the problems alone all this while"

‘We adopted a daughter.And we found Nicole after so long.But after she came back, we made so many demands on her.We were afraid that she would embarrass us"

For the first time in his life, Mr.Riddle Sr.felt a strong feeling of embarrassment.He stared at Nicole as he sighed, "You don’t need to do anything else.You just came back.Go and take a rest."

"Alright."' Nicole knew Mr.Riddle Sr.felt terrible.She tucked him in without saying anything further.She then turned around and left the room.

Just when she reached downstairs, she could hear Samuel's voice.

"sister! You came back!"

Before Nicole could react, Samuel rushed to her and hugged her.

Nicole was disoriented by Samuel’s enthusiasm.Her awkward body was a little stiff.

Spencer had to step forward and pulled Samuel away from Nicole.

"Alright, you’re so sweaty.Don’t stay near Nicole."

Samuel looked embarrassed as he stepped back.

"I’m sorry.My basketball competition just ended.I didn’t have the time to change before I came back home."

Nicole was flattered when she noticed not only Spencer and Samuel came back, but Stanley and Steve came back as well.

"I went abroad for only a few days..."

"They made it look like I left home for a long time"

Stanley stepped forward as he said, "You won first place in this month’s exam and the Mathematical Olympiad competition.But you did not go to school for the past few days.The school was blowing up."

‘Nicole rose to become the genius of the school.The student union and clubs were waiting for her to come back to join them.The press from the school was waiting to interview her too.But she went overseas suddenly.Because of this, many people came after us, the brothers, to ask about her whereabouts"

"Oh."

Nicole heard what Stanley said.But she did not show any expression.

The brothers could not help but be impressed by Nicole.

'Nicole’s so young.But when she’s calm, none of us can match her" they thought.

Damien saw Daniel’s family members were all there.

'"Dad’s much better now.You all don’t need to come back here so often.Brother, you too.You should go home and rest for a couple of days," Damien said with a slight cough.

‘Daniel and his family stole the limelight recently.I was the only one keeping dad company before that.Now that dad values Daniel and his family so much, I might have to leave this manor soon if I continue to allow Daniel to keep dad company"

Daniel did not realize the intention of Damien saying that.

He nodded his head as he said, "Okay, brother."

Daniel had no intention to steal credits.

'Now that dad’s fine, I should bring my family back home"

Just before Daniel and his family left, Damien looked at Nicole.

He could not resist but to ask her the question he had been wanting to ask, "Nicole, who are you exactly?"

Nicole glanced at Damien.

‘Although I told granddad, I’m not obliged to tell anyone else"

Her eyes were cold as she glanced at Damien.

"Uncle, if you want to know, you can ask granddad," she said calmly.

‘For sure, granddad wouldn’t tell him"

‘Because he doesn’t deserve to know"

Damien felt Nicole’s cold eyes.He could not help but clench his teeth.But he knew he could not offend Nicole at the moment.He could only say, "Alright, go ahead and take care."

Chapter 667

Damien showed the attitude of a man of the house. Daniel and Gloria did not have the intention to stay any longer.

They then left with their kids.

Upstairs. Miley stepped out of the shadows. She stared at the back of Daniel and his family as they left. “Don’t they have any manners?! You’re the eldest son! How dare Daniel’s kids disrespected you! Too presumptuous!”

“Okay, stop talking.” Damien scolded. He was afraid that Mr. Riddle Sr. would hear what Miley said.

‘I haven’t been treated like this!’ Miley thought. Her face could not resist but turned blue instantly. “You only dare to be tough against me! Daniel had been giving you a hard time recently! But you didn’t even dare to fight back! I completely can’t count on you!” Damien was fed up. He slapped her with the back of his hand immediately.

Pow! Miley’s face was swollen!

“H-How dare you hit me?” Miley looked at Damien in astonishment. ‘Damien has never hit me before ever since we’re married! How dare he slapped me?!

“So what if I slap you?” Damien’s eyes were cold. “I lost ground so quickly in the Riddle family because your family was defeated. You should reflect upon yourself!” He then walked upstairs after he said that leaving Miley behind. She was covering her face as she wept frustratingly.

‘Rogers family was removed from the circle of the great families. That was why even Damien dare to treat me badly!’

‘Who else can I count on?’

‘Right now, the only person I can count on is Chloe… "

In the Chairman’s office of Johnston Group. The atmosphere there was tense.

Jared sat on a black leather couch with a laid-back attitude. Three men were sitting opposite him.

They were Murphy, Castor, and a middle-aged man who was drinking his tea casually. He was Jared’s eldest uncle, Henry.

Jared was the acting president after he came back. Henry was working at a subsidiary. He rarely came to the headquarter. But he looked like he came here to dispense justice.

But Jared looked like he did not care at all. He gently sipped on his coffee as he glanced at Henry coldly. “Uncle and my cousin brothers. You came here to my office early in the morning just to welcome me back. I’m flattered.” Henry pretended to be polite.

Murphy was impatient. He scolded, “Jared, stop pretending! You left your position as acting president to hang out with a beauty overseas . Do you think you can hide it?”

“Hide?” Jared’s eyes were filled with darkness. “I don’t need to hide the things that I want to do from anyone.”

The pressure in the office dropped sharply due to his cold words.

Murphy’s expression changed slightly. He wanted to speak further. But Castor gave him a look to shut him up.

Castor then smiled cunningly as he said, “Jared, you’re a different person ever since you came back from overseas.”

They were overwhelmed by Castor’s attitude. Jared’s courage came out from nowhere. 1

His eyes were filled with coldness as he glanced at Castor. “Likewise. You were doing very well overseas too. You came to the headquarter right after you just returned. Do you want to become the acting president too?”

Castor’s facial expression changed. ‘I didn’t expect Jared to expose me so directly.’

“I should be the one who asks you this question. You were living peacefully overseas for years. Isn’t that good?

Castor’s eyes started to fill with doom. Jared smiled as he saw that. “I wanted to stay overseas too. But… Granddad asked me to come back. I can only obey.”

The three of them did not look good after Jared said that.

Chapter 668

‘The three of us have been working for the company within the country. But when dad finally wanted to step down, he asked Jared to come back. Jared didn’t even know anything about the company. And yet, dad made him the acting president,’ Henry thought.

‘I was told that Jared has his own company overseas, but we think it’s just a small company. Dad making him in charge of our company is a joke. Now then we got his loose ends, dad couldn’t blame us.’

Henry saw his two sons fail to pick on Jared. He then put on airs as he said, “Your grandfather put you in charge of the company because he trusted you. But you abandoned the company just like that. Jared, you disappointed me.”

Jared smiled as he heard Henry’s words. “Uncle, you flattered me. I heard you lost a five hundred million contract last month. And Castor lost an investment overseas too. And yet, you still have the time to be disappointed by me. You value me so much.”

‘How did he know about this?’ Henry’s face went livid instantly. “Nonsense!”

“Nonsense? Really?” Jared smiled. He then immediately put his hand out to hand Henry some documentation coldly.

“This is the information that I found out. Should I show this to granddad for him to validate it?” Jared’s eyes were cold and sharp as a sword. The atmosphere became extremely cold instantly.

Henry was at a loss for words.

Castor’s face was gloomy. “Jared, well played!”

‘I didn’t expect him to have something on us. No wonder he was just sitting there calmly. Seemed like Jared had a backup plan after he came back.’

“Likewise.” Jared raised his head coldly and glanced at the three of them. “Compared to what you all did back then, this is just the beginning.” The last few words from Jared sent chills down Castor and Murphy’s spine inexplicably.

‘After Jared’s dad passed away, we always bullied him. My memories of us kicking and punching him when we were kids are still vivid,’ Murphy thought.

‘Last time, we did enjoy it. But now I’m feeling an irrational fear as I look into his eyes.’

“Jared! Don’t think we won’t do something to you just because you have something on us! Do you think granddad wouldn’t know about what you’ve done?” Murphy clenched his teeth bearing up.

Jared’s face remained magnanimous. “Don’t worry about

Of course granddad knew. Because I’ve already sent him the cooperative documents that I negotiated overseas.”

“Cooperative documents?” Henry froze. He could not help but glance at Castor. He then asked Jared, “Y-You went overseas to negotiate a business collaboration?”

‘These two unruly sons of mine. They told me Jared went overseas just to hang out. That was why I came here to question him. But turned out he even has a contract now.’

“That’s right.” Jared smiled evilly. “Turmann family. Uncle, have you heard of them?” “T-Turmann family?!” Henry’s face had a dramatic change suddenly.

‘Turmann family. They are one of the three wealthiest families in Mecrounia!’

‘This kind of family is too high to reach. Even for the Johnston Group. But Jared actually brought back a contract with them with just an overseas trip!’

Henry was at a loss for words completely as he thought about that.

Murphy did not even know who the Turmann family were. He shouted with rage, “Jared, stop bluffing…”

“Keep your mouth shut,” Henry turned back and scolded Murphy. He was mad.

“Father…” Murphy was shocked. ‘What’s going on?’

‘Didn’t the three of us agree to come here to pick on Jared for his mistakes? Why did dad scold me suddenly when we haven’t even picked on him successfully yet?’

Henry did not even bother with his stupid son. He turned his head as he smiled awkwardly at Jared. “I think there were some misunderstandings. Jared, forgive Murphy. He just wanted what’s best for the company.”

“He wanted what’s best for the company?” Jared smiled deeper. “You should’ve said that earlier. The headquarters

marketing team is short-staffed now. I’ll talk to granddad in the afternoon and hire Murphy. What do you think?”

 

Chapter 669

Murphy was dumbfounded for a moment. He used to be the general manager of the branch of the company where his father was the CEO, doing nothing yet getting paid handsomely. Now Jared wanted him to work in the marketing department? “I disagree!” Murphy yelled in exasperation.

Henry gritted his teeth and said, “You’re right. If your grandfather agrees, then do it.”.

“Dad!” Murphy was stunned. Instead of looking for trouble, he had to run errands for Jared, even after losing his job.

“Don’t call me Dad! I don’t have such a stupid son like you!” Henry glared at Murphy as he had given up on him.

‘It’s all Murphy’s fault for not figuring out Jared’s purpose for going abroad. Now I’m on the defensive. If Mr. Johnston Sr. finds out that I’ve sent someone to monitor Jared and come to find fault with him, Mr. Johnston Sr. will not spare me.’ Henry gritted his teeth and could not care less about his ego anymore. “Murphy knows he is wrong. What happened today…”

Seeing Henry humble himself for the first , Jared said,”

Since Murphy regrets it, I will not tell Grandpa, of course. But I hope you will stop sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong, or I will be really irritated.” As he spoke, he slowly stood up. “Max, see Uncle Henry out.”

Max immediately stepped forward and made a please gesture with his hand. “Please.”

Henry had never been treated like this before, his face grave, but there was nothing he could do but turn around and leave.

Realizing that they had screwed up, Castor shot a warning look at Jared and left.

Murphy became desperate when he saw this. “Dad, Castor. Don’t leave me!”

He chased after the two as soon as his voice trailed off.

The office became silent again after the three of them left.

Max snorted and said, “How dare he come looking for trouble with you.”

Had Jared not wanted to reveal his identity too early, he would not have allowed these guys to throw their weights around here.

“It’s alright.” Jared put down the file with a stony face and picked up the coffee. But Max could not be reconciled to it. “They don’t deserve a twenty percent share of the deal with the Turmann family.”

The collaboration between the Turmann family and Johnston Group that Jared was talking about was actually a concession of the collaboration between JJ Johnston Group and the Turmann family.

“Only in this way can those old fags really make up their minds.” Jared looked out the window as the trio of father and sons downstairs had left.

Only then did Max understand Jared’s intentions. Mr. Johnston Sr. might support Jared’s return to lead Johnson Group, but some of the board members still supported Henry. The Turmann deal would probably rock the entire board of directors.

“Speaking of which, we have Nicole to thank.” Max truly felt that Nicole was the lucky star who made this deal possible.

“Indeed.” Jared had a smile on his face at the mention of Nicole. ‘I wonder how the little woman is doing now.’

Chapter 670

Nicole returned home, had a meal with her family, briefly explained what she did abroad, and went back to her room to rest.Her family wanted to know Nicole’s true identity, but they consciously did not ask, thinking probably she had her reason not to, when she did not even tell Damien.

It did not really matter as they were all family, regardless of Nicole’s identity.

The next day, Nicole was yawning big time while going to school.She had not been to school for a few days and thought that the fuss about her had subsided. But the moment she entered the school gate, people started to steal glances at her, and talked about her from time to time, just that the vibe was different from previously

In the past, it was mostly contemptuous stares and sarcastic words, but this time, it all turned into adoring looks and secret praises.

Nicole cared about neither. As soon as she was back in her class, Lulu, June, and Bradley came up to her at once. “You’re finally back, Nicole!”

“Oh God, we thought Declan had poached you and you wouldn’t be coming to class.” Bradley scratched his head innocently.

Nicole put down her bag and yawned. “I don’t like the Math Olympiad; how could I possibly go with him?” Before this, it was for the bet. She did not want to take part in those meaningless competitions again.

“Well, if you leave, our class will have one less genius, and we won’t be able to get first place in the grade,” June said happily. Nicole raised an eyebrow and looked at her. “We got first place in the entire grade?” “Yeah!” June and Lulu spoke in unison. Lulu looked at her happily. “You don’t know yet, do

you? Your monthly test score is first in the entire grade, crushing second and third place by a wide margin. The average score of our class has increased because of you. Our class is overall first this year.”

June looked proud. “The day before yesterday, Ms. Emerson was named the outstanding teacher of this year. I heard that Mr. Kennedy was seriously ill and took half a month’s sick leave.”

They all breathed a sigh of relief, as they did not have to see that annoying guy at last.

Nicole did not expect so many things to happen while she was away for just a few days. But the thought of Ms. Emerson being named the excellent teacher of the year made her feel happy.

Bradley saw her in a daze and could not help but sneak up on her. “I heard that Ms. Thompson has resigned and will leave the Royal Creek Institute in a few days.” Nicole raised an eyebrow gently. “That’s a good thing.”

‘Ms. Thompson almost ruined Austin’s and others’ studies. So it’s better for a misguided teacher like her to leave.’

“They say she resigned, but it seems that she has been fired, actually,” Lulu said thoughtfully.

Nicole rested her chin on her hand. “Old Man Ellison is still wise, at least.”

All three of them were wide-eyed upon hearing Nicole call the respected Mr. Ellison as Old Man Ellison. But thinking about how Mr. Ellison defended Nicole at the convention, and Nicole’s relationship with Sebastian, they were not no longer so surprised.

The three of them might not care, but someone else did.

“Nicole, how can you be so arrogant to call Mr. Ellison the Old Man Ellison?” Vivian seized on the opportunity to find fault with Nicole when she walked in and overheard what she said.

Nicole shot a cold glance at Vivian and smiled dismissively. “I will even call him that to his face. Do you have a problem with me?”

Vivian choked at hearing what Nicole said. Everyone was startled and could not believe that Nicole dared to call Mr. Ellison that to his face. They all wondered who she was that Mr. Ellison wanted to pamper her so much.

No one dared to say anything more about her at this point. Vivian’s face was flushed , but she did not dare to say anything again.

After all, in the auditorium the other day, Mr. Ellison was clearly defending Nicole. Vivian was thinking of teaching Nicole a lesson in Mr. Ellison’s name, but if they confronted each other face to face, it might not work to her benefit. So she could only think better of it.

No one spoke any more. So Lulu and the others returned to their seats, and Ms. Emerson soon arrived.
