Ch. 826..830: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 826-830
Chapter 826
“By the way, I heard that the sports day brought many investors to the school. It’s an achievement in the history of the Royal Creek Institute. Thanks to you.” Mr. Ellison was glad that the school had such a talent as Nicole and that Nicole had chosen the Royal Creek Institute. Otherwise , such a good thing would have gone into the hands of other schools.
Nicole looked modestly at Mr. Ellison. “That’s what I should do as a member of the school.”
Mr. Ellison was in admiration of her, as he knew Nicole was truly a rare talent.
“I heard that Riddle Corporation was recently bidding for a project from an international company. Is there such a thing?” Mr. Ellison asked.
“I didn’t know that you were also interested in international business.” Nicole looked at Mr. Ellison calmly, wondering if he was also going to take part in the tender.
“Don’t get me wrong. I’m not that concerned about these things, but with the strength of Riddle Corporation, haven’t you ever thought of working with other companies?” Mr. Ellison euphemistically reached out an olive branch.
Nicole thought that Mr. Ellison was eyeing Aegis Corporation but expected that he wanted to work with the Riddle Corporation.
“I understand what you mean; if Riddle Corporation and Ellison Group join forces, we will have an eighty percent chance of winning the bid for the Aegis Corporation project, and while two dogs are fighting for a bone, a third one runs away with it.” Nicole’s analysis was spot one.
Mr. Ellison listened to Nicole’s analysis and nodded with a smile.
“Personally, I think it’s a win-win.” It was much better working with Ellison Group than with McCarthy Corporation.
“This matter is a major thing for which I need to ask for my family’s opinions.” Nicole knew she was just a junior in the family, and it was Sean who was running the company. So even if the joint venture was in the bag, she still needed to give Sean a heads-up.
“If you have decided, call me. Harvey will contact you for subsequent discussions.” Mr. Ellison did not forget to create opportunities for his grandson.
“Okay. I will go now if there is nothing else.” With that, Nicole got to her feet and said goodbye to Mr. Ellison, who saw her out to the hallway.
Jared’s car pulled up in front of Nicole as soon as she stepped out of the school gate.
“Jared? What are you doing here?” Nicole looked surprised at Jared, who appeared all of a sudden.
“Don’t you want to see me?” Jared quipped.
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Nicole opened the car door and got in.
“Where are you going? I will give you a ride.” Jared looked at her.
“Going back home.”
Jared started the car and headed toward Nicole’s home.
In the car, Jared hesitated for a moment before asking, “I heard that during the training, there was a professional masseur giving you a massage?” Jared had never heard of masseurs giving massages at school in his life. This was the first time he had ever heard it, and he felt it was unbelievable. 3
“How did you know?” It also surprised Nicole, who wondered who Jared knew about it. She suspected he had eyes in the school.
“You don’t need to know how I know. It’s really news to hire professional masseurs to school and give students massages. Didn’t the school say anything about it?”
“It’s not as serious as you think. Gary and I had a bet, and
he lost, so he was giving massages to classmates as a punishment.” Nicole laughed at the thought of Gary and the others massaging the legs of other classmates.
Jared finally heard the name he wanted to hear. “But from what I heard, Gary lost the bet and gave you a massage.”
Nicole’s expression crashed in an instant. “Who is behind the rumors, and from where did you hear about them?” 1
“You don’t need to know. Just answer me; is there such a thing?” Jared could not tolerate someone else touching his woman, and if it was true, as the rumors said, he would make the Finley family pay. “No. Jared, is this why you came to pick me up at school today?” Nicole came to her senses and glared at Jared with a sharp look in her eyes.
Chapter 827
“Of course not. This is for you.” Jared took a set of documents from the back seat and handed it to Nicole.
“What is this?”
“Isn‘t Riddle Corporation bidding for the Aegis Corporation project? This is the profile of Aegis Corporati on.” When Jared heard that Riddle Corporation was bidding for the project, he immediately sent someo ne to do a background check on Aegis Corporation.
“Aegis Corporation‘s profile?” Nicole smiled with delight. She had been scratching her head for the past few days on how to get this information, not expecting Jared had done that for her.
“Thank you.” Nicole gave Jared an affectionate look.
“Just a thank you?” Jared seized the opportunity.
“What do you want?” Nicole looked at him.
He suddenly gave her a quick kiss. “Let‘s take this as a thank you gift.”
Nicole was startled. Just as she was about to say something, the car stopped.
“Here we are, but I will not follow you in. I still have things to take care of back in the office.” Jared made an excuse before Nicole could say anything. In fact, it was not so much of an excuse, as he was really bus y. If it were not for the documents, he would have still been in a meeting at the moment.
“Really?” Nicole did not believe his words.
“Bye.” Nicole watched Jared‘s car go away before entering the house.
“You‘re back so fast?” Nicole sent a message to Sean before she left school. Now he had arrived home one step ahead of her.
“What exactly is going on, Nicole? You didn‘t say it clearly on the phone.” Sean looked at her with quest ion marks in his eyes.
Nicole sat down and then spoke slowly. “Mr. Ellison called me to his office today.”
“Mr. Ellison?” Daniel instantly tensed up when he heard Mr. Ellison looking for Nicole.
Nicole saw Daniel‘s unusual expression and quickly reassured him. “Don‘t be nervous. Listen to me slowly.”
“Aren‘t we bidding for the Aegis Corporation project? Mr. Ellison knew about it, and he talked to me today that he hoped to work with us to bid for the Aegis Corporation projec t.”
Instead of easing up, Sean got a little nervous. “Mr. Ellison is eyeing the project as well?”
“From my observation, he doesn‘t seem to be interested in that project.”
“So what is his purpose for working with us?” Sean looked down thoughtfully.
“Whatever his purpose, with what I know of him, he is not going to do anything bad to us. Otherwise, he wouldn‘t offer
“I agree to work with Mr. Ellison. First, we will outbid our competitors ; second, it enhances our relationship with Mr. Ellison for more cooperation next time.” Daniel thought this was good; it killed tw
Sean thought for a long while before looking up at Daniel and then at Nicole. “I agree with Dad.”
“That‘s great. I‘ll bring Harvey home another day, and you guys talk about the cooperation .” Nicole looked at Daniel.
“Okay, then. You make an appointment with him.”
“Sean, what do you think of that draft tender document?” Nicole asked him.
“I didn‘t see their bidding price, but I could roughly tell from the tender document that the McCarthy family is betting big on the project. So we must also be pre
“Show our hand?” Gloria was surprised.
Chapter 828
“Sean, think it over before you make a decision, and do only what you can.” Gloria feared the results would not be as good as she expected. “Understood. Don’t worry.”
“I think McCarthy Corporation is no match for Riddle Corporation and Ellison Group, even if it goes all out, unless…” Nicole let her words hang.
“Unless what?” The three of them looked at Nicole in unison.
“Unless McCarthy Corporation also joins forces with others.”
Daniel and Sean nodded. Indeed, McCarthy Corporation knew their strength and would find someone to work with if they wanted to win the tender.
“I’ve thought about this before, but I have no idea who they will work with.” Sean was a little worried.
“Leave it to me.” Nicole looked at them with a serious face.
“It looks like I will have to bother you with this project.” For the first time, Sean felt powerless.
“It’s okay. This is Aegis Corporation’s company profile that Jared gave me. You can take it back and study it.” Nicole handed Sean the information Jared had given her.
“Jared? I didn’t expect that he would find time to get this information for us. He is busy.”
“That’s all because of Nicole.” Daniel looked at Nicole with delight.
“Yeah, this information is much more detailed than what I have found.” Sean briefly looked through it and sighed.
“We are family. I’m happy that Riddle Corporation got the project. Mom, Dad, I will return to the campus because there is still something to do.”
“Why don’t you go after dinner? You have lost weight recently.” Gloria looked at Nicole and felt sorry. “Slim girls look better. I’m going. Bye-bye.” Nicole waved goodbye to her family and returned to the campus.
The next day, Nicole led everyone to train at the sports field, and Harvey came over.
“Can I have a few words with you, Nicole?” Harvey wanted to talk to her in private , as there were too many people around here.
“I happen to have something to talk to you about.”
“Gary, I will be away for a moment. You are to keep the training going.” Nicole instructed Gary and walked away with Harvey

“I happen to have something to talk to you about.” “Gary, I will be away for a moment. You are to keep the training going.” Nicole instructed Gary and walked away with Harvey.
Gary shot a disgusted look at Harvey as they went. “I will.
Coming to a quiet corner, Nicole asked Harvey, “What’s up?”
“My grandpa has told me about the cooperation with Riddle Corporation. When will you take me to meet your family members?”
“That’s what I’m going to talk about. If you have time after school today, please come with me to my house.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you at the school gate.”
“Deal.”
“Harvey?” Snow’s voice suddenly came, and the next second, she saw Nicole there.
“Nicole? What are you doing there? “Snow never expected to see Nicole here.
“Are you looking for me?” Harvey was annoyed at seting Snow, exasperated by her untimely appearance. At first, he was thinking of taking this opportunity to spend more time with Nicole, but now
it seemed that it was ruined
“Oh, aren’t you a relay race ace? I want to learn from you. “It was all an excuse for Snow to see Harvey.
“You have also signed up for the relay race?” Harvey frowned
“Yeah, I’m thinking of asking you to lead me.” Snow said as she squeezed in between Harvey and Nicole.
“You guys talk. I need to train over there.” Nicole did not want to see Snow act here.
Harvey looked at Snow angrily. “Didn’t your class also sign up for the relay race? Ask them to lead you. I have got something on and need to go now.”
“Hey, Harvey, Harvey.” Snow called out a few times while Harvey went, but he did not look back.
Chapter 829
“Hmph! Why go upon seeing me? You have something to hide?” Snow angrily chased in Nicole‘s directi on. “Wait a minute, Nicole.” Snow called out to her from behind.
Nicole rolled her eyes and turned to look at Snow. “What?
“What did Harvey say to you just now?”
Nicole knew Snow would not give up if she did not tell her something. “Harvey asked me for advice wh en he saw how well my training was. That‘s all about it.” With that, Nicole left straight away, not botheri ng if Snow believed
“You lie. With Harvey‘s ability, he needs your advice?”
‘Is Nicole deliberately taking this opportunity to be alone with Harvey?‘ Snow was even angrier at the th ought of this.
“I didn‘t expect you to use this underhanded tactic. But don‘t you ever think of seducing Harvey this way . He is mine.”
Nicole returned to the training team, and Gary was leading the intense and orderly training. “The relay race te am, stop.” Nicole suddenly had a new idea for training
“Relay race is not only about speed but also about the tacit understanding among the teammates. Fro m now on, the relay race teammates will have to nurture tacit understanding together at all times, exce pt for going to the toilets and sleeping.”
It was the first time that everyone had heard that the relay race also needed to nurture tacit understandi ng, and they all could not help but laugh.
“Don‘t laugh. This is a very serious matter. Everyone has to do what I say.”
“It‘s always normal for girls to stick together. But for boys, don‘t you think it‘s a bit too weird?” Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing what Jack said. “Can boys and girls also foster tacit understanding?” E veryone laughed again, and some shy girls blushed at hearing that. Nicole glanced at Jack without smiling. “What are you all thinking? Just do what I say. You all have thought too much as boys. Maybe you all aren‘t tired enough, are you?
“My bad.”
“Okay, just train as I say after the relay race participants complete the regular training.”
“Nicole, this shot is way too heavy. I want to change it.” Those who practiced shot put were so tired that their hands were shaking,
“Shots are all the same weight. What is the use of changing one? What needs to be improved is your own strength.” “Giv e it to me.” Nicole picked up the shot and put it out, landing beyond the farthest bounds.
“Holy moly. That‘s far. She is awesome.”
“You still have a long way to go, kid, if you think of getting up to Nicole‘s level.”
Nicole glanced at the boy, who thought of changing the shot, and she walked over to another team. She
“Keep it up. After the training, I will treat everyone to a drink.”
“Nicole is the coolest class monitor ever.”
Nicole was amused, a gentle smile spreading across her face. When Gary saw this, he was utterly ench
The school finished in the blink of an eye. Nicole waited for Harvey at the school gate as promised. Harvey dropped the car window. “Nico the car.” Nicole opened the car door and got in.
On the way, Nicole kept looking out the window. Harvey glanced at Nicole and felt that she was avoiding
Chapter 830
“Nicole, how is the training?” Harvey asked tentatively, hoping Nicole could talk to him.
“Good.” Nicole just gave a one–word reply.
Harvey took a deep breath. “That‘s great. I heard Vivian led other classmates to skip training, and I tho ught you had a hard time managing them. But I‘m relieved to see that you‘re okay today.”
Nicole did not bother to respond, as she sensed Harvey was just making talk.
Seeing that Nicole still had no intention of talking to him, he could only find another topic. “Can you tell me what the Riddle family thinks of the Aegis Corporation project?
Nicole did not expect Harvey to rack his brains in order to talk to her.
“I‘ve been in school all the time, so I know little about the Riddle family‘s view on this project.” Nicole ju st wanted to get out of the car quickly as the atmosphere in the car was unnerving.
After a short ordeal, the car was parked up in the compound of Nicole‘s home.
“Dad, Mom, Harvey is here.” Nicole politely introduced him.
“Mr. and Mrs. Riddle, I got you something. I hope you two will like it.” To Nicole‘s surprise , Harvey had even brought some gifts. “When did you buy the gift? I didn‘t see it just now.” Nicole asked in a whisper.
“While waiting for you.” “Please take a seat.” Daniel motioned for Harvey to sit down.
Harvey smiled and followed Daniel over and sat down.
“Let‘s talk first. Sean will be back in a minute.” Daniel liked how polite Harvey was.
“Nicole, go ask him what he drinks,” Gloria asked as she and Nicole were preparing drinks in the dining room.
“No need to ask; he will drink anything.”
“When did the Riddle family entertain guests like that? Go ahead and ask him,” said Gloria.
Nicole went reluctantly and asked Harvey, “What would you like to drink?”
Harvey smiled involuntarily as he thought Nicole was going to make a drink for him. “Anything.”
Nicole went back to the dining room and said to Gloria, “I told you he would be okay with anything, and y believe me.”
“Did he really say that?” Gloria looked surprised.
“Yeah, Mom. Just pour a glass of juice, and I will just take it to him.” Nicole did not want to waste any mo
On the couch, while Daniel and Harvey were having a great conversation, Nicole took a glass of juice an
“Thank you.” Harvey looked happily at Nicole. “Dad, Sean and others would be back soon. I’m going out to wait for them.” Nicole just did not want to spend time with Harvey i
“You don‘t have to go out and wait for them. It is not like they don‘t know the way. Stay here and chat with your friend.” Daniel did
“Mr. Riddle, you can just call me Harvey.” Harvey instantly closed the distance between him and Daniel.
