Ch. 771..775: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 771-775

Chapter 771

Jared wanted to tell his grandfather, but his grandfather had been sick because of the death of his parents, and he could only keep it to himself, allowing Murphy and Castor to punch and kick him. He remembered what Murphy had said. “Do you think you’re still the lofty heir? You are just a piece of garbage. Even if you complain, no one will believe you. I’m going to take your place and deceive the entire world, but no one will believe you.”

He hit back at Murphy and slowly got up with malice in his eyes. From that day on, he said goodbye to his grandfather, left the Johnston family, and went to study abroad.

Jared spent over ten years abroad alone. He had a potent ability to lear; over the years, he had learned advanced skills in almost all fields. He happily started his own new life and set up his own company.

But something unexpected happened; Mr. Johnston St. suddenly fell ill and tried every means to get him back home.

Jared did not go on but looked gently at Nicole. “But I really don’t want to go back to my country and this place. But now think about it; had I not come back, I wouldn’t have met you.”

His last sentence gently pried open the door to Nicole’s heart. It felt heartwarming to the extreme

She never imagined that she was so important to Jared and that she was the only meaning of his return

“The company is still in a mess, but after meeting you, I feel that life in the country does not seem to be so bad after all.”

Nicole looked at Jared and nodded subconsciously. “Me too. There was bitter strife back at the Riddle family. But after she met Jared, she had not cared about it for a long time.

Jared looked at her beautiful face with a gentle smile on his face. How good it would be if time could stay in this moment now.’

Meanwhile, Joyce chased after Martin, but Martin did not look back. He was irritated, walking straight until he reached the river. A cool breeze blew through and sobered him up.

Joyce saw him stop, and she carried the hem of her skirt and rushed toward him. Seeing an iritable Martin, she said disapprovingly, “Martin, what’s wrong with you? Why did you suddenly leave without waiting for me?” It made her a laughingstock in front of Nicole.

Martin looked with annoyance at Joyce, who was a little flustered.

“I didn’t ask you to follow me.” He had no time for Joyce, as he already felt jealous enough at seeing Nicole and Jared together.

Joyce was stunned, looking at Martin’s indifferent attitude. She felt as if she had seen a stranger. Martin’s indifference to her gave her an illusion that she had never known Martin

Her eyes darkened in an instant, and she bit her lip in frustration. “I will just go since you hate me so much

With that, she spun around and left without looking back again because of her self-esteem. From full of anticipation to extreme disappointment, she felt so lonely inside, as if a goose had lost its direction She could not help but wonder if Martin really liked her as much as she thought.

Watching Joyce leave, Martin calmed down a little and realized that he had gone too far. After all the failure of the experiment was not her problem, and he had been taking it out on her today He sighed but was embarrassed to apologize. So he lit a cigarette and calmed himself down.

After finishing the coffee, Jared walked Nicole back to the school gate.

As they parted, Nicole saw the gloomy look on Jared’s face and could not help but tiptoe and kiss him

At that moment, Jared hugged Nicole tightly and planted a fervent kiss on her lips.

 

Chapter 772

Fortunately, there was no one at the school gate. Nicole pushed him away and blushed.

“I-I go now.”

“Okay.” He smiled.

She turned around, walked a few steps, and suddenly opened her mouth. “I will attend the Johnston family’s party.”

Jared did not expect that Nicole already knew before he could invite her. “Would you like to be my female partner, then?” He smiled happily.

“My pleasure.” She smiled.

Jared smiled even brighter under the streetlamp. “Deal. I’ll pick you up on the day.”

“Deal.” Nicole nodded excitedly and went back to the campus.

He looked on as Nicole went before getting into his car contentedly.

The next day, Nicole went to school as usual. She heard that both Stanley and Edwin had just done it; news came out from the student union that the reward scheme that Nicole had said earlier was real.

Many students had started to sign up enthusiastically, and the problem of the school signing up students

for the sports day had been resolved. In Edwin’s words, Nicole was their lucky star.

The result was that everyone in the class had a lot of admiration for Nicole. As soon as Nicole became the class monitor, her classmates immediately got to enjoy the fringe benefit. They felt proud of being associated with Nicole.

As those who used to trample on Nicole in the class started to butter her up, Vivian was maddened. But she did not dare to show her anger.

Lulu and June envied Nicole. “You’re the class monitor now. How nice.” They felt relieved, as no one would bully her anymore.

“No, it’s too busy.” She did not like the feeling of being busy.

“You’re so capable; all these are just a piece of cake for you.” Bradley smiled.

As he spoke, the school PA system sounded, asking all the students to gather on the sports field.

“Do today’s recess exercises come earlier?” Jack and others were surprised.

“Let’s go.” Gary was too lazy to ask and got up straight away. With Gary taking the lead, everyone got up and went to the sports field.

Someone was standing on the podium. Nicole and the others walked over and saw that it was Norah. Nicole raised an eyebrow, not knowing what she had done wrong again.

Norah had a vicious look in her eyes at the sight of Nicole.

Nicole could not help but frown, her gut feeling telling her that this might have something to do with her.

Sure enough, after each class was lined up, Harvey stood on the podium, took the microphone, and said,” We have identified the culprit who sabotaged the lighting fixture during the performance of Class B of the eleventh grade on the day of the school anniversary celebration.”

There was an instant uproar.

“It wasn’t an accident, but an act of sabotage. And the culprit was….”

Chapter 773

All eyes were on Norah.

They could not believe that the real culprit turned out to be the adopted child of the Riddle family.

Stanley’s words made Norah feel humiliated as if she was in a slow process of death.

She did not expect that the backstage crew would have filmed what she had done that day. When the class teacher found her, she could not even find a word to respond.

If she still wanted to stay at the Royal Creek Institute, she would have to apologize to Nicole in public. Otherwise, she would have to leave school today.

Norah had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree. But the sense of humiliation was far stronger than she had imagined in front of the public.

Especially when the person who supervised her apology was Stanley, she could not feel more humiliated than this. Stanley, her brother who used to love her, was now looking at her with frosty eyes.

Looking at Spencer and Samuel not far under the stage, she saw their expressions change from shock to disdain. She had never seen such an expression on their faces. At this moment, they no longer regarded her as a family member.

Seeing Norah still in a daze, Stanley handed the microphone over. “Confess.”

As she used to be his sister, he could not bear to accuse her in public. But if she was really the culprit, she had definitely gone too far.

Norah took the microphone tremblingly. Now she had no choice but to grit her teeth and say, “I touched the lighting fixture because I was curious. I didn’t know that it would cause the thing to fall and nearly kill my classmates. I now publicly apologize to the two of them, Nicole and Gary, asking for their forgiveness.”

Norah bowed her head and begged for forgiveness as if she had been wronged.

Nicole knew Norah was simply evading telling the truth. Saying that she touched the lighting fixture out of curiosity was another way of saying that she did not mean it.

But she was convinced that Norah did it on purpose. There were many lighting fixtures on the auditorium stage. It just did not explain why only that one directly above their head fell.

Nicole was as sure as death and taxes, but Norah did not keep on explaining why she did that. Instead, she started crying and pleaded for forgiveness, as if Nicole and Gary would be uncompassionate if they did not forgive her.

“Norah is truly a spin doctor,” Lulu muttered from the sidelines, feeling that this time things were not as simple as Norah said.

“She is obviously at fault, yet cries like a victim.” Bradley looked angrily at Norah on the stage.

Norah finished her speech. Stanley felt sorry and took back the microphone from her when he saw her crying nonstop. “It’s alright. It’s over. Norah has publicly apologized and admitted her mistake. She will get demerits for it.”

While Stanley announced the results, Gary frowned. ‘Norah has made such a calamitous mistake, yet she always gets with only a demerit as punishment?’ He looked at Nicole, who looked nonchalant all this while as if she did not care about it. So he had no choice but to stay quiet.

Still crying, Norah got off the podium and went back to class to calm herself down. Everyone else continued the exercise between classes before returning to classrooms.

On the way back to class, Nicole did not say a word. Gary could not bear it anymore and said, “Norah has done something heinous, yet only received a demerit as punishment. Don’t you think it’s too lenient?”

Nicole glanced back at Gary, “Since it was the school’s decision, we can do nothing about it.”

After all, Norah was impeccable in her academic performance, so Class A’s new teacher wanted to protect her. And as she had just noticed, Stanley was reluctant to inflict any severe punishment on Norah. Thinking about the feelings of her brothers, she did not want to pursue the matter further. But if there was a next time, she was not going to let Norah off lightly.

Gary looked at Nicole and was frustrated.

“You gave up, but I won’t-i’ll make her pay.” Gary left in a huff. He was furious at how little Nicole cared about herself. She was almost seriously injured that day, yet she let Norah go. He could not agree with that.

Watching Gary leave, Lulu suddenly leaned over. “Nicole, Gary seems to care a lot about you lately, eh?”

Chapter 774

She let out an ambiguous smile, and Nicole shot a glare at her. “Stop being gossipy. I’m not interested in him.”

Lulu grinned. “Of course, you are only interested in Jared.”

Nicole blushed and stared back at Lulu. “How dare you ridicule me?”

“How dare l?” Lulu ran.

Nicole gave chase and laughed with Lulu.

In the distance, Stanley saw Nicole so happy and smiled. ‘She finally looks like a schoolgirl, unlike her over -levelheadedness and apathy. Her personality is getting warmer and warmer recently.’

Since the Norah incident, Nicole had been busy with class affairs.

Two days flew by, and it was the day of the party. At nightfall, the Johnston Mansion was brightly illuminated. Expensive cars pulled into the mansion, one after another. VIPs and celebrities emerged and entered the mansion.

As San Joto’s first family and business, the Johnston family’s party was extraordinarily grand. Even Sebastian’s son was present. The Holder family, the McCarthy family, and others came to congratulate them.

Mr. Johnston Sr. was full of vim and vigor, shuttling among the crowd, toasting and greeting guests.

Henry followed behind his father as if he were the heir to be announced by the Johnston family today. So many people were pretty impressed and came over to say hello…

Henry was flattered, and even Castor and Murphy felt proud. Celebrities and ladies came to chat up Murphy, who became ecstatic.

Castor saw this and could not help reminding him. “Enough, Murphy. Mind your manners.”

‘The way Murphy looked is so humiliating.’

“Okay, okay. I’ll stop looking.” Murphy nodded and quickly pulled back his gaze. Castor glanced around the scene and said, “Why didn’t Jared côme?”

“As we all know, Grandpa may announce the heir to the Johnston Group tonight. No way Jared would be absent.” Murphy was also puzzled.

Just then, there was a commotion in the doorway. The siblings looked back, and their eyes were attracted by a beautiful figure.

Next to Jared was a beautiful woman in a white dress and high heels. Her hair cascaded down as if a waterfall, her eyes right like galaxies. Every glance of her eyes and lift of her hands charmed all the men at the venue.

Many female guests at the scene were awestruck. “Isn’t that Jared? Who is that woman next to him?”

“She is so beautiful. Where is she from?”

Many people questioned, but no one knew who Nicole really was.

Seeing Nicole and Jared walk in, Mr. Johnston Sr. greeted them with a smile. “Here you are.”

Nicole returned a smile. “Hello, Grandpa.”

It surprised everyone that she used such an affectionate address on Mr. Johnston Sr. ‘Who the hell is she?

Mr. Johnston Sr. smiled gently. “Hello, Nicole. Didn’t your family come with you?”

“Yeah, in the back.” Nicole smiled gently. “My grandpa said he would surely attend Mr. Johnston Sr’s party”

The scales fell from everyone’s eyes, and they knew who Nicole was.

 

Chapter 775

It turned out that she was the biological child of the Riddle family and the much publicized Nicole whom Sebastian met personally a while ago.

Most people had only heard of her name, and they did not expect her to be so beautiful. She and Jared looked like a perfect pair standing together.

Murphy had seen Nicole at the airport gate, but she was mysterious in her baseball cap, and he could not see her face clearly. He just did not expect that she would look so stunning after dressing up. Murphy was completely enchanted.

Even Castor was surprised by Nicole’s beauty.

‘Damn it, Jared. Why can he have such a beautiful girlfriend?’

His father had told him that Nicole was just a humble child of the Riddle family, and he did not give a second thought to her. Instead, he wished Jared would marry this girl as soon as possible so that it would be impossible for Jared to have another marriage tie with another family. Besides, this would also let the board of directors know Jared was not up to scratch as he had only married a girl from the Riddle family. But now, it seemed that there was more to it than met the eyes.

Because of Nicole’s breathtaking beauty, many dignitaries, including politicians, whom he did not bother to rub shoulders with, thronged around Nicole.

“I have heard about you for a long time, Miss Riddle. What a pleasure to see you in person today.”

“Absolutely. We feel honored to meet you.”

Even Henry was dumbfounded to see all the VIPs gathered around her. So he figured he had to go over and talk to Jared and Nicole. “Jared, is this Miss Riddle from the Riddle family, your fiancée?”

He deliberately mentioned Nicole’s identity that she was from the Riddle family. But everyone seemed to have heard some terrific news.

“Fiancée? Miss Riddle, you’re Jared’s fiancée?”

“Really? Why didn’t I hear about it before?” The questioning guy was a little disappointed.

Neither Nicole nor Jared expected Henry to be so desperate to mention who Nicole was. Nicole calmed down before smiling. “My grandpa and Mr. Johnston Sr. betrothed me to Jared. But it was many years ago, so no outsiders knew about it.”

“You were betrothed to Jared from an early age?”

“You’re a lucky guy, Jared.”

Everyone was stunned, their expression changing upon hearing Nicole’s admission.

They already knew that Nicole had a good relationship with Sebastian, who was about to take office as a governor. Now they even learned that she had been engaged with Jared from the Johnston family. It was a kind of win-win cooperation.

They looked at Jared again. Before he returned home, they thought the Johnston family had given up on him. But Mr. Johnston Sr. handed over the helm of the company’s headquarters to Jared as soon as Jared returned. Before this, the outside world was still questioning his ability and doubting if he had any backing for him to hold on to his position for long.

Now the situation seemed to have changed with Nicole becoming his fiancée, as after Sebastian took office, Jared would have another powerful backing.

It was a perfect match. With the two of them coming together, everyone, including politicians and the wealthy, could no longer underestimate them. They all flocked up to them, just wanting to talk to the two of them more

Henry was pushed aside. He could not help but feel surprised to see Nicole and Jared so well received.

She is another girl from the Riddle family. Why is she so popular? What the hell has happened that he doesn’t already know? Does Nicole have another identity which I don’t know?’

Not only Henry, Castor, and Murphy but also Harvey and Edwin, who were standing not far away, were dumbfounded.

“Harvey, do you know about this relationship between Nicole and Jared?”
