Ch. 791..795: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 791-795

Chapter 791

"Hmm, it really looks a bit too busy."

"Are there any more special ornaments?" Gloria asked the service staff.

"Yes, there's anew Mona-style necklace, simple and generous.Let me show you."

"Okay."

"Is this lady wearing it?"

"Yeah."

"Can I help you put it on?"

Nicole looked at the necklace in the service staff's hands and then at Gloria.

"Absolutely."

The service staff helped her put it on neatly.

"This necklace matches your beautiful neck perfectly."

"Let me see."

Gloria looked at Nicole, who was wearing the necklace.

"Well, not bad.Do you like it?" Gloria asked for her opinion.

"It's fine.I will take this."

"I will buy this necklace."

Gloria turned to the service staff.

"Wait a minute.I will pay for it."

Nicole handed out his bank card to the service staff.

Gloria stopped her.

"How can I make you pay? This is a gift from me.Keep your card away."

"Mom, I'm happy that you came out with me.I can't make you spend money again."

Nicole knew the necklace was expensive.

As a homemaker, Gloria had been bullied over the years and had not much money in her hands.

"Mom?" a sweet voice came from a direction.

Gloria looked over her shoulder.

"Norah?"

Norah and her friends had come up to them.

"Nicole is here.What are you two doing here? Norah glanced at the necklace in the service staff's hands.

"Wow, what a beautiful necklace!"

Norah could not take her eyes off the Mona-style necklace.

"Can I try it?"

Norah looked at the service staff.

"I'm sorry, Miss.This lady has bought the necklace."

"How much is it? I will get the same one, too."

"Sorry, this is one of its kind."

"Only one?"

"Mom, I want this necklace, too."

"Norah, this necklace is my gift for Nicole's engagement.Why don't you take a look at something else? I will buy it for you."

Gloria smiled.

"Mom, I think this necklace must be expensive.Can I choose a gift of the same price?"

Norah blinked her big, lustrous eyes at Gloria.

Gloria was in a predicament, not knowing what to do.

"Norah, Mom might have bought this necklace as a gift for me, but I did not make her pay for it.If you have something you like, you can buy it with your own money."

Nicole did not want Norah to get her way because she could tell that Norah was just looking for trouble.

Chapter 792

"Mom, Nicole is apparently bullying me."

Norah tugged at Gloria's hand.

Gloria sighed helplessly.

"Nicole really didn't let me spend money.Look, her credit card is still here."

Gloria showed Norah the bank card.

Norah was displeased when she saw the credit card in Gloria's hand.

"I really didn't expect that you had a credit card.Is it a credit card?"

"Whatever card it is, it has nothing to do with you."

Nicole took the card from Gloria and handed it to the service staff.She then ignored Norah and turned around.

"Mom, pick an ornament you like.I will buy it for you."

"It's alright.I have a lot of jewelry.Where do you get so much money to buy necklaces? Is it really a credit card?"

Nicole was still a student, yet she did not want Gloria to spend money on her, so Gloria could not bring herself to let Nicole pay for her.

"Don't worry, Mom.Jared gave it to me."

Nicole made up a random story.

Gloria was happy for her upon hearing that.

"It is so sweet of him."

Norah was completely ignored.She was resentful at seeing the affection of the mother and daughter.

"The necklace has been wrapped for you, and this is the receipt.Have a nice day."

"Thank you."

Nicole took the necklace.

"Mom, Nicole."

Samuel and Spencer had come looking for them after buying gifts.

"Samuel, Spencer?"

Norah happily came up to them to say hello.

"Norah?"

Samuel was surprised.

"What a coincidence.Are you here shopping too?" Spencer asked.

"Yeah, it's my day off.So I just hang out with my friends."

Norah saw both of them carry a wrapped gift in their hands and thought it was for her.

"I didn't expect you two to buy me gifts."

"Actually, this is for Nicole."

Samuel handed the gift to Nicole.

Nicole looked at Samuel and Spencer.

"It's so sweet of you two.Thank you."

"Don't mention it.It's gifts for your engagement."

They looked at Nicole, whose hands were already full of stuff.

Spencer said, "Open them once you are home.For now, we will keep them for you."

Nicole nodded.

Norah made a fool of herself again and now felt even more upset.

"Since it is Nicole's engagement, I will buy you a gift, too.There is a fashion boutique up ahead.Let's go there to choose a dress as your engagement gift, Nicole."

Norah had a smile on her face but an evil look in her eyes.

Norah not only was not angry but also wanted to buy Nicole a gift.

Gloria quickly said, "You're not working yet, Norah.You don't have to do that."

"Nicole and I might not be related by bloodline, but we both call you mom.Besides, it's her engagement, which is only once ina lifetime; how can I not buy her any gift?"

"Let's go.It's right in front, just close by."

With that, Norah took Gloria's arm and walked forward.

After walking a few steps, she looked back and called out, "Why are you still standing there, Nicole? Come follow us."

Nicole was about to say no when Spencer stopped her.

"Norah has been conscious of her adopted child identity since she left home.I'm afraid she might overreact if you don't follow her."

Chapter 793

"Yes, I know Norah best.Isn't it just trying on clothes? You can make an excuse on the clothes, not refuting her kindness and relieving you of worries," Samuel echoed.

Seeing her two brothers so concerned about her, Nicole also knew what Norah was trying to pull.

"Okay, let's try it."

Once inside the fashion boutique, Norah said to the staff, "Get my sister a dress that best matches her looks."

The staff glanced at Nicole and saw that she was dressed casually.

"Our outfits are all fashionable.I'm afraid they don't match the look of this lady."

Norah felt a little better when she heard that Nicole was belittled.

But she kept a straight face and said, "Do you mean my sister looks too ordinary? She is a member of the Riddle family.You had better think twice before you open your mouth."

"I'm so sorry.Mrs.Riddle, Miss Riddle, and Mr.Riddle.She is new here and doesn't know the rules."

The person who spoke was the boutique manager, who shot the staff a knifelike look.

"What are you waiting for?"

Get Miss Riddle a few sets of fine outfits to try on."

"This way to the VIP lounge, please."

The boutique manager made a 'please' gesture.

Gloria had always been a kind person.

When she saw the boutique manager's polite attitude, she did not want to make a fuss out of it.

"Please don't take it to heart, Nicole.These people are like that.Let's go inside and take a rest."

Gloria looked at Nicole and comforted her, fearing that Nicole might be angry.

Of course, Nicole did not give a damn, as she saw these people as just clowns.She knew that after shopping around for so long, Gloria must be tired.

"Okay."

Soon, two staff walked into the VIP area with several pieces of clothing.Norah casually picked up a piece of outfit from one of the staff.

"Nicole, try it on."

Seeing Gloria looking at her expectantly, Nicole expressionlessly took the outfit and walked into a fitting room.

After Nicole left, Norah said to Gloria, "Mom, you and Samuel, and Spencer wait here.I'll go in and give Nicole a hand."

Norah walked toward the fitting room where Nicole was, and Nicole was trying on the outfit.

She quietly pulled over a low ladder and climbed on it, then pointed the camera of her mobile phone over the top of the dressing room partition.

The phone screen showed a woman's figure.

"Aaaaah! Who's filming me?"

The woman subconsciously looked up to sort out her hair, only to find a mobile phone above her head.

Norah thought Nicole had discovered her, and she fell straight down the low ladder and smashed the screen of her phone.

Hearing someone shouting, Gloria rushed over, only to see Norah lying on the floor.The boutique manager, who heard someone shouting in the fitting room, rushed over.

Samuel and Spencer, fearing that something might have happened to Gloria and Nicole, followed suit.

Once inside, everyone saw Norah lying on the floor while another woman ranted.

"How did you fall, Norah?" Gloria quickly reached out to help her.

"Don't touch me.I think I have hurt my back." Norah screamed in pain.

The woman was furious and yelled at Norah, who was still on the floor.

"How could a little girl like you do such a despicable thing? Hand over your phone now."

Norah was exasperated after being caught red-handed for filming the woman, whom she thought was Nicole.

"It's there.Take it."

The woman picked up the phone, but the screen was broken.It was impossible to check the video Norah had taken.

She was so angry that she threw the phone to the floor and stomped on it a few times.

"Kid, who taught you to take a video of me changing clothes?"

Now everyone instantly figured out what was happening.

 

Chapter 794

"You have to give an explanation for this."

The woman angrily pointed at the boutique manager's nose.She was a VIP customer of the fashion boutique.

Never had she expected things like this would happen to her one day.The boutique manager apologized quickly.

"It was an oversight on our part.I'm so sorry.The few pieces of outfits you tried on today will be given to you as compensation.We're so sorry for what happened."

"Do I look like I need these pieces of clothing?"

The boutique manager apologized again.

"I'm sorry.That's not what I mean."

"I want her to get down on her knees and apologize."

The woman pointed to Norah on the floor.

Norah gasped.

Knowing she had screwed up big time, she looked at Gloria with a pitiful face.

'Mom, help me."

Gloria was embarrassed, wondering how the child she raised could do such a thing.But she also could not bear to leave Norah behind.

"My daughter is at fault and should apologize, but you can see that she is still a kid and has injured her back.Kneeling would be too difficult."

"If you were in my shoes and videoed while changing clothes, wouldn't you want an apology, at least?"

"If she can't apologize, then just strip her naked.I'll record a video of her, and then we are even.There is no other way."

The woman was vehement.

Just then, Nicole came out of the other dressing room ina glamorous dress and saw Norah lying on the floor while awoman barked furiously.She appeared unconcerned, and she had heard all their conversations.

"How come you got out of that room?"

Norah looked at Nicole in surprise.

"You should be worried about your situation."

Nicole did not bother to answer her question.Samuel and Spencer had sensed the undertone of what Norah and Nicole said.

"By the way, this dress you gave me is quite nice.I will wear it now.Please remember to pay for it in a moment."

Nicole's words were an insult to injury for Norah.

"You're going too far, Nicole." Norah glared at her.

"Please help your sister, Nicole." Gloria scowled.

"Mom, it was Norah's fault, and the lady has every right to demand reparation.We can't intervene."

With that, Nicole gave Samuel a look.

"Mom, get up.Norah is an adult and should be responsible for her actions." Samuel helped Gloria to the side.

"Why are you on the side of the outsider, Samuel?"

Norah pulled herself up with difficulty.

"You've got to settle the things yourself, Norah.Mom and I still have other things to do, so we leave now."

Nicole spun around and left.

Although Gloria could not bring herself to leave Norah behind, Samuel and Spencer forcibly carried her away.

"Mom..." Norah called out angrily as they went.

"Apologize to the lady, and it will be over.Otherwise, things will not end up well for you," the boutique manager exhorted Norah.

"Madam, I am sorry."

Norah forced her apology through her teeth.They had bought what they wanted.

Nicole and the others left the mall and got into the car.

Gloria was still worried about Norah and kept murmuring in the car.

Spencer was annoyed but was also curious about what had just happened.

So changed the subject, saying, "Judging by what Norah said just now, it looks like something was going on between you two.Right, Nicole?"

"Exactly.The way Norah looked at you wasn't quite right."

Samuel looked at Nicole with puzzlement.

"There is no outsider here now; can anyone tell us what the hell is going on?"

Gloria turned to look at Nicole.

"What do they both mean? Is it true that something is going on?"

 

Chapter 795

Nicole looked at the kind Gloria.She did not want her mother to be deceived by Norah's hypocrisy.

"I was supposed to be the one Norah wanted to video-record."

"What?"

The three of them looked surprised.

"You heard that right.If I hadn't noticed it and changed the fitting room at the last minute, I'm afraid it would have been me when lost my temper just now."

"What I didn't see coming was that someone else got implicated.This will be a lesson for Norah."

Nicole calmly told of what had happened.

"I really didn't expect that since Norah left the family, a well- behaved girl could change to become like that, not the Norah I knew anymore." Gloria sighed.

"But why would she do that? Why target Nicole?"

Gloria was none the wiser.

"Must be jealousy.She thought Nicole stole the life that should have belonged to her."

Spencer was a sensible person.

Gloria glanced at Nicole, then looked out the window and sighed again.

Nicole said not a word again until she was back at the Riddle Mansion.

"You all are back."

Daniel saw them return and spoke.

"Are these gifts for your sister?"

Daniel watched as Samuel and Spencer walked in with beautifully wrapped gift boxes.

"Yeah, these are for Nicole."

"Dad, we've all prepared gifts for her.But what about you?"

Samuel dug at Daniel.

"See, Nicole? You have said nothing yet.They are such backseat drivers."

"My gift is mysterious.You all will see it in a few days."

"I didn't know your dad could keep us in suspense."

The family sat on the couch and burst into laughter.

Nicole glanced at her watch.

"Mom, Dad.It's getting late.I have to go back to campus.So I'm not going to have dinner at home."

"What is the hurry? Let's have dinner before you go,"Gloria said.

"I'm afraid I can't.The school's sports day is just around the corner, and there are a lot of things to do.Stanley must be up to his ears right now." Nicole quipped.

"Nicole is now the class monitor, and she has a lot of things to get busy with in the student union.Don't worry about her."

Daniel comforted Gloria and then said to Nicole, "Remember to have your dinner once you are back on campus."

"Don't worry, Mom, Dad.I'll go upstairs and put down the staff before I go."

Nicole then went upstairs.

"Don't worry, Dad, Mom.We'll accompany Nicole back to the campus."

Inside the school, the three siblings walked side by side.

Nine out of ten passersby would invariably look at them, and the other one probably forgot to wear glasses.

"We are going to grab something to eat.Do you want to join us, Nicole?" Samuel asked.

"It's okay.I'm not hungry yet.I just want to go back to the dormitory to rest."

"Okay.If you suddenly think of eating something, call us."

"Sure.See you."

After parting with Samuel and Spencer, Nicole walked toward the dormitory.

Before she even entered the door, she could already hear Lulu's voice inside.

"What are you talking about? I could hear it from the outside."

Nicole's voice came.

"Nicole, you're back.We're talking about you."

Lulu came up to meet Nicole.
