Ch. 746..750: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 746-750
Chapter 746
The next day, Jared sent Nicole to school.
On the way, Jared made a pact with Nicole, wanting her to stay away from Gary and Zeke and forbidding her to see Martin.
Claus, who was driving and listening in to this, was stupefied. He had never seen his boss so jealous and so lacking in self-confidence.
Hearing what Jared said, Nicole laughed involuntarily. “Okay, I get it.”
She did not take his words seriously but just thought it was funny.
Jared also looked as if he could not help himself. At the school gate, when Nicole got out of the car, Jared followed her.
“Why did you get out of the car? You can just drop me here.” She did not want Jared to follow her to the school gate, as that would attract unnecessary attention.
“Something to do with Mr. Ellison.” He looked serious but pretended to be mysterious and did not tell her anything.
Nicole thought it was a work-related matter and did not ask again. ” I will go to class now.”
Jared nodded and then went with Claus to Mr. Ellison’s office.
Nicole looked on as he went, and she felt a little puzzled. But she said nothing and headed straight to the classroom.
Soon, Jared arrived at Mr. Ellison’s office.
The principal, Thomas Ellison, was surprised that Jared would come to him early in the morning. He got up with a smile. “How come you have time to come over?”
‘Jared seems to be keen to visit my office recently.’
Jared smiled. “I’m here with a purpose, Mr. Ellison.”
With that, he asked Claus to take out his phone and bring up a video for Mr. Ellison’s eyes.
Mr. Ellison was puzzled, not knowing what Jared wanted to show him. He glanced down at the video.
It turned out to be the video of Nicole saving Gary yesterday. In the second half of the video, there was a clip of a figure fleeing in the background.
Mr. Ellison was surprised at how Jared got this recording.
“What do you want, Jared?”
Jared did not keep him guessing. “Justice for my girlfriend.”
Mr. Ellison was surprised again, looking at Jared with his eyes widening. Nicole had rejected him before. He did not expect that she and Jared would be in a relationship. “You and Nicole…”
“You guessed it right.” Jared did not deny it. “I didn’t want to bother you for such a trivial thing, but neither do I want to step on your toes. So I’m going to leave it to you, Mr. Ellison.”
There was a hint of threat in his voice. If Mr. Ellison did not deal with it, he would. He just wanted to let Mr. Ellison save face.
Mr. Ellison knew Jared, who was mature and introverted but never revealed his thoughts. It surprised him
that Jared would confront him because of Nicole. It just showed how important Nicole was to Jared. At this point, his wish for Nicole to become his granddaughter-in-law vanished. He knew Harvey could never beat a rival like Jared.
“You got it.” Mr. Ellison whispered. “I will handle it. Nicole is a top student of our school, and I will protect her, for sure.”
Jared was pleased and at ease, knowing that Mr. Ellison also cared about Nicole.
Since Jared was here, Mr. Ellison said, “I have thought through the proposal of cooperation you mentioned last time. I wonder if you’re still interested?”
This surprised Jared, as Mr. Ellison had never given a definite answer until now.
Chapter 747
Jared wondered why Mr. Ellison suddenly changed his attitude after learning about her relationship with Nicole.
He frowned and wondered if Mr. Ellison knew something about Nicole.
But he did not think it was proper to ask since the deal between them was also a matter of course. “As long as you agree, someone will deliver the contract soon.”
Mr. Ellison nodded at once. “Thank you. I’ll ask Harvey to liaise with you about the cooperation.”
“Harvey, your grandson?” Jared was surprised, but he had heard about him before. Over the past six months, Mr. Ellison had entrusted almost all of his business to Harvey. After all, Harvey was his only grandson, and Harvey’s parents were gone. So Mr. Ellison was desperate to hand over the company to Harvey.
“Yes, is there anything wrong with that?” Mr. Ellison asked in puzzlement.
“Nah, I just think young people might not be able to handle such a heavy responsibility.” Jared frowned. After all, Harvey was only a junior at the Royal Creek Institute and had not yet graduated.
“Try him, and you will know. I will take over if Harvey can’t handle it.” Mr. Ellison assured him.
Jared could say nothing but agree. “Well, since that’s the case, then I hope our cooperation will be a success.”
“Great.” Mr. Ellison smiled, feeling relieved.
He thought if Jared was really dating Nicole, he had to cooperate with him; otherwise, he would be in trouble if Jared was not on his side next time.
Jared looked at Mr. Ellison, who was all smiles but whose thoughts were hard to guess, After discussing the cooperation with Mr. Ellison, Jared left.
Mr. Ellison sighed as he watched Jared leave. “Alas, this guy from the Johnston family is so blessed. He will grow even more powerful with Nicole by his side. Henry Johnston has got no chance.”
By this time, Nicole had arrived at the class and found that Vivian was not in her seat.
As soon as Nicole sat down, Lulu came up to her and said, “I heard Vivian was sick. She must be too embarrassed to come to school.”
Nicole did not give a damn. “It doesn’t matter to us if she comes or not.”
“You’re right.” Lulu poked her tongue out and went to collect the homework.
Just then, Gary came over and looked at Nicole with guilt in his eyes. “I’m sorry. I checked the school surveillance yesterday but didn’t find any clues.”
No one had ever seen Gary cave in and apologize to anyone. But he did today, to the surprise of everyone. They all guessed that Gary behaved differently this time because Nicole had saved his life. So they all became more respectful to Nicole.
But Nicole was unaware of what they thought. She just looked at Gary calmly. “It’s okay. It wasn’t your fault.”
Gary sighed. “You were only injured because of me. It was my family who supplied the school’s surveillance system, but the saboteur had deliberately avoided all the surveillance cameras.” He had
looked at all the security footage but still made no progress.
Nicole knew the saboteur would definitely avoid all the security cameras. “I got it. I’ll investigate.”
Gary got back to his seat in frustration. He knew that Nicole might have her own way, but he still felt guilty that he was of no help.
Jack and Wayne looked at each other, surprised by their boss’s action. They had never seen him lower himself in front of others until now. It looks like he cares about Nicole a lot.’
Today was Nicole’s first day as a class monitor. She had to attend to many affairs and report to the student union. So today was the busiest day since Nicole came to this school.
Stanley was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, coming up to congratulate Nicole at seeing her come to the meeting on behalf of Class B of eleventh grade.
Chapter 748
He had heard about Nicole becoming the class monitor. She had really lived up to his expectations.
“Thank you, Stanley.” Nicole let out a gentle smile.
“This is your first day here, so I guess you have not known a lot of people. But it’s okay. Just ask if you are not sure.”
“Okay.” Nicole gladly accepted.
Stanley took Nicole into the student union conference room. As soon as Nicole entered, she saw several familiar faces. Harvey, Edwin, Snow, Raine, and even Preston, as well as Ellar, her third uncle’s son, were in the student union. 2
Nicole raised an eyebrow, but there was no surprise, as she knew those who came from the Riddle family were all outstanding, each of them either a class monitor or a member of the student union.
Snow and Raine were surprised to see Nicole.
Both of them were also the class monitors of their respective classes. They could join the student union because of their excellent grades. In contrast, Nicole had just come to this school recently. They wondered how she ousted the incumbent and became the class monitor herself, and joined the student union.
So Raine was a little upset. “How did she get here?” In fact, what she wanted to say was what gave Nicole the right to sit in the student union meeting. But she did not want to make a scene because there were other class monitors from the high school and the college department.
Stanley did not care about what Raine said, and he solemnly announced, saying, “Vivian from Class B of eleventh grade has stepped down as the class monitor because of her misconduct. Nicole is now the new class monitor. She will take over the duty in the student union. Please give her a warm welcome.”
Everyone present knew that Nicole was the sister of Stanley, Samuel, and Spencer, and they quickly gave her warm applause.
Edwin was even more excited and clapped his hands enthusiastically. Nicole had done him and Preston a big favor before. Now that she was in the student union, he would be more acquainted with her later.
Harvey did nothing but lock his eyes on Nicole. He did not expect that this girl, whom he had a crush on, could join the student union so quickly.
Edwin’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the look in Harvey’s eyes.
‘Harvey’s feelings toward Nicole have become deeper and deeper. If Harvey finds out that Nicole is Lucifer, he will not be able to extricate himself from his infatuation with her.’ Edwin was a little worried for Nicole.
Preston beckoned to Nicole. “Come sit over here.”
Nicole saw a spot next to Preston and gladly walked over.
Raine and Snow stared dead at Preston, hating this brother of theirs for favoring an outsider instead of them.
Nicole had just taken her seat when suddenly someone burst into the doorway.
“I’m sorry. I’m late.” It was Norah who walked in with a folder in her hand. She looked apologetically at Stanley
Stanley’s face turned stony upon seeing Norah. “Take a seat.”
Norah was exasperated. This was her first student council meeting since she left home. She did not expect Stanley to treat her even colder than last time.
She could only bow her head and walk to the conference table and sit down, only to see Nicole’s face.
“Why are you here?” Norah looked surprised and jealous at once.
Seeing the look in Norah’s eyes, Nicole smiled. “We are only separated by Class A. Don’t you even know that the class monitor of our class has changed?”
Norah was stunned by what Nicole said, but she could not believe it. “How is that possible? Isn’t Vivian the class monitor Vivian? How did you become the class monitor?”
Preston was not too happy with Norah. “Didn’t you know Nicole was first place in your grade on this exam? Since Vivian’s academic results are so much poorer than Nicole’s, the class monitor should be replaced.”
Preston immediately got the support of everyone. Changes in the members of the student union were common. After all, the class teachers of each class hoped the class monitor had both good grades and abilities, so class monitors of each class were normally appointed based on merits.
But Norah was jealous to see that Nicole had become a class monitor. She worked so hard to keep her position as a class president. But Nicole had just come to the school not long ago, yet could oust Vivian and become a class monitor.
She had always felt that her only advantage in front of her brothers and parents was her position as a class monitor. Now she had no advantage to speak of after Nicole had also become a class monitor.
Chapter 749
“Nicole, sit down, quick!” Stanley was impatient. ‘She was already late. And yet, she’s still dawdling, wasting our time.’
“Okay.” Nicole hated it. But she could only clench her teeth as she sat down. 1
Nicole’s eyes were gloomy as she stared at Norah. She was not sure whether Norah was involved in the incident yesterday.
Meanwhile, Stanley started to chair the meeting. He started to arrange the school anniversary celebration’s finishing touches. He also created some other new deployments.
Nicole was spinning her pen as she listened to Stanley’s explanation. She would stop and write down the key points.
Preston was impressed by Nicole’s seriousness. ‘It took her only one day to adapt to the class monitor role. And she even looked like she was doing her job with ease. She was born to become a class monitor.’
Soon the meeting was drawing to a close. Stanley summarized, “That’s all. These are the upcoming tasks. The most important one is sports development. All the classes must be prepared.’
“Okay.”
“Got it, president.”
Everyone agreed. Stanley glanced at Nicole. He adjourned the meeting only after he saw Nicole agreed, like everyone else.
Everyone was relieved after that. The seniors from the university department were the first ones to leave.
Snow tried to keep up with Harvey’s pace. But he suddenly stopped when he reached the door. He then turned around and spoke to Nicole publicly, “Nicole, congratulations.”
Everyone could not help but stun for a moment. They felt Harvey was interested in Nicole as they thought about those rumors they had heard.
Snow, on the other hand, felt humiliated. She could only turn around and leave the meeting room.
Raine was furious as she stared at Nicole. She even hooked up with Harvey.’
After Harvey turned around and left, Raine could not help but say sarcastically. “The prettiest girl in the school? More like a slut! You even seduced Harvey!”
Norah was happy as she heard that. She could not help but agree with Raine indirectly, “Nicole, you need to behave decently.” It sounded like some advice. But she actually meant Nicole was indecent.
Everyone else could not help but stare at Nicole.
Preston did not like it when Raine tried to shame Nicole. He said coldly, “What were you talking about? The video before clearly showed that Harvey confessed to Nicole. How was that Nicole’s fault?”
After hearing what Preston said, the crowd realized it was not Nicole’s fault. They realized it was Harvey who took the initiative.
Preston added, “If you’re incapable hold your man, don’t blame the charisma of other girls.” His voice remained cold.
Preston left with Edwin after saying that.
Edwin, who was walking behind Preston, chimed in, “You’re right.”
Everyone in the meeting room felt the two had a point. The crowd glared at Raine. They believed she was jealous
Everyone left. Rained stomped furiously.
Nicole could not care less. She turned around and left right away.
Raine and Norah were frustrated. But there was nothing they could do with Nicole.
After everyone else left the room, Norah scolded, “Bitch!”
“Right! But everyone was on her side!” Raine snarled.
But the next second, Raine glanced at Norah as she realized something suddenly. “Why am I talking to you? You’re no longer part of the Riddle family. You don’t get to talk to me.”
She turned around and left right after she said that.
Raine’s words were like a slap in Norah’s face. Immediately, Norah was furious. “B*tch, did you think ! wanted to talk to a fool like you?!”
‘Raine’s useless. Or else I’d have gotten rid of Nicole!
‘Now it seems like I should do it myself!’
Chapter 750
Nicole was walking back to her class. She heard people jabbering as she walked in the hallway.
Lulu was very excited when she saw Nicole walk into the class. “Nicole! Have you checked your social media?!”
Nicole froze for a moment. Il never care about anything on there!’
“Come and see this! The news posted by Anna Washington went viral!”
Nicole frowned as she sat down to open her social media app quietly.
Lulu and June walked to Nicole immediately. They were looking at the most trending news on social media. People were still talking about it online.
The media leaked the image of Lloyd carrying Nicole at the Royal Creek Institute’s anniversary celebration yesterday. But no one knew which media company did so. Suddenly, many netizens commented on it.
“Lloyd rescued some random beauty in the school. Is it a female student?”
“I didn’t expect Lloyd to have a sense of justice!”
“Lloyd? Was it the Lloyd who I’m thinking of?”
“The person who commented above, come to your sense. I heard it wasn’t some random beauty. It seemed like he already knew the girl before that.”
“Could it be Lloyd’s girlfriend?”
Nicole was upset as she looked at those trumped-up comments.
“Lloyd was too impulsive. He got us into trouble again.’
Fortunately, Lloyd’s manager, Anna, immediately posted a press release to explain the situation. The press release mentioned that Lloyd was impressed by Nicole’s performance. That was why he helped her.
The people in the comment section changed their opinion rather quickly.
“I’m a student from Royal Creek Institute. She’s the prettiest girl in our school. Her acting skills and personality are good. That explains why Lloyd liked her. I heard the production team came to choose the lead actress for their drama, Lukewarm. Of course she won’t pass on this opportunity
“I’ve watched the video of the performance. She’s gorgeous!”
Nicole was surprised. ‘When did I gain so much public attention?’
That would put her in danger.
Her face had never been exposed like this. ‘How can I carry out my missions after this?’
She continued to go through the comment section. Some people hit back at the earlier comments. They supported Chloe, who was fired by the production team.
“Back then, Chloe was capable. She got her role in Lukewarm in a dignified way. I’m not sure what happened. But how can the acting skills of a rookie be better than Chloe’s? The production team should bring her back!”
People with discerning eyes laughed when they saw the comments. ‘It’s obvious that Chloe hired “cyber troopers” to write those comments to ride the wave.’
After all, Chloe had only acted in a few popular dramas since her debut. The dramas were well received. A lot of people were willing to pay for the dramas. But it was hard to tell how her acting skill was based on just a few dramas.
However, people had doubts in their minds. They were curious to know what happened that led to Chloe being fired by Nachelle. Many people tried to find the answer online, but most of them to no avail because the incident happened in Nottingbrook State.
Although Chloe rode the wave, Nicole was still very popular. Many posted her pictures without make-up from the school online. The netizens went wild.
Suddenly, lots of netizens online tagged Anna. They felt Nicole was perfect for the lead actress role in Lukewarm.
Lulu, June, and other people’s excitement heightened as they scrolled down the comment section.
“Nicole! Seemed like Lloyd’s direction department did come to pick the lead actress! You’ll probably become the lead actress!”
Nicole glanced at Lulu. She knew she was happy for her. But she did not care about what was happening. Those things did not matter to her.
Nicole raised her head as she looked at Lulu calmly. “I don’t want to become a lead actress,” she said coldly
Everyone froze suddenly. Lulu wondered, “Why? This is a good thing!”
She has a higher chance of getting into showbiz quickly and even becoming the new popular actress.
