Ch. 86..90: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 86-90

Chapter 86

Raine sneered, “What did you say?” Seeing her reckless look, Nicole did not have the urge to repeat herself again, “I asked you to pick it up.

Do you understand English?” Raine looked at her cold eyes and felt a sudden sense of inferiority toward Nicole.

However, it quickly turned into anger after hearing Nicole’s response, “How dare you ask if I understand your English! As expected, village people are uncivilized!” As Raine was speaking out of rage, she did not control her volume.

All the surrounding people started to look at them. Nicole noticed June was walking back toward them with her food.

She irresistibly frowned.

Even though she did not know Raine personally, she was not pleased with her rude attitude toward Nicole. “If I’m uncivilized just by saying that, then what about you? You threw away other people’s food and mocked those who dine at the canteen as lower class.

Is that how a civilized person is? Nicole’s words were strong, and everyone else heard them clearly. Such derogating words bothered everyone else, and they all stared at Raine angrily.

“Isn’t that Raine? Those words actually came out of her mouth? Who does she take us for? I’m embarrassed to say that I used to admire her!”

“Yeah, she threw people’s bags to the floor and took up the seat not for sitting.

It’s clear who’s the uncivilized one here!” “I’ve always hated Nicole, but this time around, it really is Raine’s fault.

I saw her throwing the bag with my own eyes.

How can such a person be the campus queen for the senior department? Was it just because her sister was the campus queen of the tertiary department? It really is such a bummer.” Raine heard everyone’s comments and panicked.

She did not expect things to turn into such a mess.

She just wanted to warn Nicole when she saw her sitting there.

It really was not her plan for things to turn out this way! “You! Nicole! You better be careful!” Everyone around always looked at her with admiration and envy.

She never had to experience such situations where her whole body was flushing.

She did not even dare to lift her face.

It was all Nicole’s fault! Raine spat out such harsh words and left in a hurry. But Nicole pulled one of her sleeves to stop her.

Raine was a lot shorter than Nicole by half a head.

So, it was easy for Nicole to stop her.

“You threw people’s things to the ground and have no intention to pick them up before leaving? Is that how the Riddles taught you? I guess I’ll have to go back and ask grandpa about this.” Raine was extremely frightened by those words.

Grandpa really hated it when the family members did not behave in public and tarnished the family’s name.

If Nicole really told him, Raine would not have the easy way out. Raine gritted her teeth, bent down, and picked up June’s bag with two fingers.

Then she threw it back on the seat.

Immediately after, she shook her hands as if she had touched something dirty.

She seemed disgusted about the bag as if one touch would cost her life.

Then, she looked at Nicole and asked through those gritted teeth, “I can leave now, right?” Nicole noticed that June’s bag was swung open, and everything scattered to the ground.

Her under-eye twitched a little. At this moment, June was already back.

She was shocked upon seeing the state of her backpack Once Nicole noticed, she grabbed Raine and turned her around to face June.

She said in a cold voice, “Apologize to her.” Raine was a little dizzy from the turning.

After she looked closely and saw that it was the girl who came in with Nicole, her face was filled with disdain, “So that rubbish bad belongs to a bumpkin like you.

Why should I apologize to a bumpkin?” Upon hearing this, June’s grip tightened as she was holding her plate.

Then, she placed her plate steadily on the table.

As she was buying a meal for Nicole, she had chosen the best dishes available in the canteen.

She did not want to spill any of it. After that, she looked down and picked up everything that was on the ground.

The whole process was filled with silence. Seeing this, Nicole let go of Raine’s hands and turned around to look at June in silence. As soon as Raine’s hands were free, she wanted to run away.

But June had already picked up her belongings.

She called her out, “Raine.” Raine wanted to pretend that she did not hear it, but all eyes were on her.

So, she could only stand still June did not care if she was only looking at her backside.

She continued, “I know you’ve always looked down on people like me who have no money or power.

But frankly speaking, I also look down on people like you who have money and power but no morals.

It’s fine if you don’t apologize; I don’t need your apology.

But remember this: I am June, the one who rejected your apology.” Hearing this, Raine turned around and stared at June in disbelief.

But all she received from June was a calm reply, “You may leave now.” Raine wanted to talk back, but all the gazes shooting at her were not kind.

It was as if everyone were despising her.

Therefore, she held back that her facial expression was getting uglier. It was at this moment that she regained a sense of consciousness.

She was already very embarrassed that day; she could not afford to say anything else that would harm her reputation. ‘This Nicole, even her poor and dirty friends, are so annoying!’

Chapter 87

Chapter 87 Raine glared at Nicole fiercely and left in a hurry. She got into trouble for mocking Nicole.

It really was a bad day! After Raine left, Nicole and June continued eating as if nothing had happened. The both of them did not talk much.

Nicole had a better impression of June after witnessing what she did.

She had always admired those who stood up for themselves.

It seems like June was not one to submit to oppression. June sat opposite Nicole and ate quietly.

After a long while, she suddenly said, “Nicole, that bracelet was from my grandmother.

It was the only thing she left for me after she died.

I’m really grateful that you got it back for me.” Nicole looked at her.

She was not very surprised, but she was reminded of her own grandma in Great Oak Before she left, Mrs.

Wallace Sr.

gave her a lot of things.

Even when Nicole went back to the Riddle’s Residence and Gloria had changed everything new for her, she insisted on keeping everything that Mrs.

Wallace Sr.

gave.

She brought it to her hostel instead.

The panic in June’s eyes was not a joke.

That bracelet must be very important for her.

So, Nicole decided to hack into the security system and help her. She only looked at June quietly and lent her a listening ear. June continued, “Nicole, all these while I’ve actually been acting cool.

I’m worried that people will realize my family background, so I chose to act that way.

But now I understand that no matter how I act, the real rich people can see through me.

There will still be people who will look down on me.

So, I’ve decided to just be myself.

I don’t have to care about what others think.

I am indeed poor, but this 50-dollar backpack isn’t that shameful.

It is those who have no money but insist on using million-dollar branded bags that’s really shameful.” Nicole looked at her with deep eyes as if she had been listening carefully.

June smiled at her,” Speaking of which, it was you, Nicole, who gave me the courage to do so.

You were being gossiped and bashed on the school’s forum, and yet you didn’t care about it but just be yourself.

To be honest, your response made someone else seem like a clown.

One that is fighting over something you don’t care about.” Nicole did not expect her to understand these things.

She thought that June was not one to use social media, “I’m just too lazy to give them any attention.” June stared at Nicole while feeling a sense of admiration for her.

Nicole was never the kind to run away from problems.

She would remain calm and unafraid of any challenges.

June secretly decided to take Nicole as a model and learn how to ignore those annoying sounds.

At this, June smiled brightly.

It was as if she finally decided what she really wanted.

She quietly said, “Thank you, Nicole.” Nicole looked at her without saying anything.

She took out a small note and wrote something briefly.

Then, she passed it to June. June took over and realized that it was a series of numbers on the paper. She looked back at Nicole puzzledly.

Nicole said calmly, “It’s Samuel’s number” June blushed immediately.

She did not know if she should accept it or not, but she froze.

How did Nicole know about her deepest secret? Nicole glanced at her affectionately and said, “Sometimes, chasing after what you want isn’t shameful.

There’s nothing wrong with catching feelings too.” Before this, Nicole had never thought of doing this.

But after seeing how brave June was, she began to admire her.

So, she thought it would be a good chance for June to make friends with Samuel June looked at Nicole while thinking.

Then, she looked at the number on her hand and nodded, “Understood.” At this moment, Nicole’s phone rang.

She opened it, and it turned out to be a text message.

She did not give Jared her number, right? But Jared immediately identified himself and invited her over to try new coffee. No one could say no to coffee, especially when it was from Jared’s orchard.

Nicole thought for a moment.

She looked at her watch and said, “Thank you for the meal, June.

You should takeaway one for Lulu as I’m heading somewhere else.” June was still staring at the number on her palms.

Hearing this, she nodded, “Okay, you can go first.” Nicole returned her meal tray and walked toward the café near the school’s entrance. After a while, Nicole reached the café.

The monthly test was just around the corner, so the café was filled with people.

They were all students who were there to study.

Nicole noticed that Jared was sitting next to the window.

Max was speaking to him at the side as if they were busy in a discussion. Little did she know that Max was reporting to Jared about Nicole’s relationship with Samuel and Spencer. “Mr.

Johnston, about the other day at The Grove, those around Ms.

Riddle were her family members.

That pair of twins are Samuel and Spencer.

They’re Ms.

Riddle’s biological brothers. Jared’s brows relaxed as soon as he heard this.

At the same time, Nicole opened the door and walked in.

She first looked at the counter, but she soon spotted Jared and Max’s table. The lady’s eyes were looking good, but her face was as cold as ice.

Jared realized that Nicole had spotted him, so he automatically approached her with a smile.

Max looked at Jared from head to toe, wondering if he saw the wrong person. Was this the cold Jared he knew of who never showed interest in any woman?

Chapter 88

Seeing Jared’s beaming smile, Max could not help but look at him questionably.

Jared did not even bother to look at Max and walked straight toward Nicole.

He said, “You’re here.” Nicole nodded and asked directly, “The new coffee, where’s it?” Jared was not taken aback by her straightforwardness at all.

He stood up and pulled his sleeves, “I was waiting for you to come so I could make a fresh batch for you.” Max saw him walking to the coffee bar unbelievably. He pushed his spectacles up his nose.

Then, he turned toward Nicole while trying to act cool,” Ms.

Riddle, is… Mr.

Johnston going to make you a cup of coffee with his own hands?” His reaction was a little weird.

Nicole glanced at him and replied, “Yeah, it isn’t the first time.

Why?” Max turned to look at Jared indifferently and thought, ‘It isn’t the first time. ‘Oh, man.’ When Jared walked out to serve the coffee, he noticed Max standing beside Nicole and staring at him mindlessly.

He frowned, “Max, what are you still doing here? Have you finished your work?” Max came back to his-senses and stopped staring at both of them.

He bid them goodbye and left. Nicole was not bothered by the weird interactions between them.

She only stared at the coffee from Jared.

All her focus was on it. As soon as Jared noticed the way Nicole was staring at that cup of coffee, he could not help but laugh.

Sure enough, she is still a child at heart.

As long as it involved something she likes, she would be easily attracted. While smirking, he took the coffee out of the tray and placed it in front of Nicole, “Here, try some.” Nicole immediately took a sip after hearing it.

Then, her face was shining with a satisfied look.

Looking at his bright eyes, Nicole thought he was waiting for her feedback.

She slowly opened her mouth, “This caramel macchiato is pretty good.

Especially the barista, that’s some good coffee-making skills.” After hearing such comments, Jared’s eyes gleamed with joy.

He did not realize when he had started to care about this little brat’s comments.

Seeing that Jared was still staring at her, Nicole raised her brows, “That’s all for my feedback Do you have anything else to say?” Hearing this, Jared’s smile dropped.

What did she mean? Chasing him away after drinking the coffee he made? Jared frowned and started to question if his charm was not working on her anymore. Why is it that this girl was never moved by him? Last time, she did not want to eat with him.

This time around, she wanted to chase him away after drinking the coffee.

Could it be…that she really was here for the coffee only? Does that mean that in her heart, Jared was not as important as a cup of coffee? His arrogance and self-esteem did not stop him from trying.

He only snapped his fingers and asked for a cup of coffee, “I’m also having one cup.

I’ll head back to work after this.” Nicole nodded.

So, that was the plan.

The whole place was indeed crowded and full, so she could only accept to share a table with him reluctantly. Seeing that she did not have anything else to do, Nicole put down her cup and took out a Mathematics exercise book from her bag.

Well, since she was already there, she could use the time to revise a few questions.

Jared’s face turned even darker after seeing this. Do not even mind the coffee.

Jared was the kind of person where girls were screaming over him everywhere he went.

But at this moment, in her eyes, he was not even comparable to a book of Mathematics questions? The sadness he felt was indescribable.

Jared only gave a death stare to Nicole.

However, Nicole could not sense anything.

She was focused on the questions, spinning her pen without writing a word.

No matter how long she sat there, Jared would be sitting in front of her for the same amount of time. Nicole kept her books as the sky turned dark.

She only realized that the man sitting opposite her had not left yet after she had finished packing her bags. She was stunned, “Why are you still here?” Her reaction carried a sense of annoyance, and it hurt Jared once more. Jared could not withstand it and replied, “No matter what, I’m still your fiancée by name, Don’t you think you’re acting a little too distant to me?” Nicole was taken aback by what he said.

She raised her brows and said, “As you’ve said, it’s just by name.

We were never close.” Jared was very speechless. “I’m leaving now.” Nicole took her bag and turned around to leave. Her expression was so cold that it really seemed like she did not have any feelings for Jared.

Squinting slightly, Jared said, “You and Norah are sisters, yet your personality is so different.” Nicole’s eyes widened.

She did not know why he would suddenly mention Norah. Jared looked at her playfully, “I’m not sure how that sister of yours got my number.

But she’s been texting me every day.

As her sister, aren’t you worried about it?” Jared stared into her eyes.

It was as if he was trying to sense the slightest hint of jealousy in her eyes or any change in emotions. But… there was none.

Nicole’s eyes were as clear as day.

She tilted her head slightly and asked, “Why should I be worried?” She asked innocently as if she really did not know what was there for him to be worried about.

However, this added more salt to Jared’s existing wound! As his fiancée by name, she was not worried about other girls hitting on him.

“Norah is Norah.

I am Nicole.

Whatever she likes doesn’t mean I’ll like it as well.” Nicole said coldly and looked at him from head to toe.

Then, she turned around to leave.

Jared, who was left alone, mockingly said, “This brat… how dare she say that she doesn’t like me?” Her eyes were filled with disdain just now.

No one dared to look at him with those eyes.

That girl was really touching all the wrong spots that angered him! He must really do a background check on her! He needs to know what kind of person Nicole was so that she could be this daring.

Since she does not like him, what kind of guy would she like then?

 

Chapter 89

He looked at Nicole from behind and made a phone call.

“Ask someone to follow Nicole and find out who she really is.” Thinking that Lucifer was also on this campus, Jared unconsciously rubbed the index finger of his right hand.

It could not be so coincidental. The last time Ellison’s attitude toward computer talent had absolutely explained something.

The Ellison family lacked no people.

So who was he protecting? Just that he still had no clue who this person really was. When Nicole returned to the dormitory, Lulu was the only one there. Instead of asking where June had gone, she took out the set of exercises she was doing in the afternoon, drew something on it, and then threw it to Lulu.

“Look, I have marked the questions that I think are interesting and written the answers.” Lulu was stunned, feeling grateful.

“Thank you, Nicole!” Lulu had long heard that it was Declan Hancock who came up with the math questions in this monthly exam, and as a judge of the Olympiad group, his questions were notoriously difficult. This was also why it was only a monthly exam, but the students in the class were so hardworking With Nicole helping explain the questions, Lulu felt she could already lay out many calculation steps for the general Math Olympiad questions.

She could gradually dabble in the more advanced Math Olympiad questions.

At first, she was about to give up on this monthly exam, and it was Nicole who let her see the light.

She took the workbook that Nicole had given her and studied it. Seeing Lulu work so hard, Nicole could not help but smile and take out her book to read. The next morning, Nicole went out for morning exercise as usual.

As soon as she went out, she heard noises as everyone was excitedly discussing something.

She frowned, put on her headphones, and went for a morning run. There was an unassuming black vehicle driving up in front of the school gate.

The emblem of the car was very special, but only those in the know could recognize it.

Each of these cars was custom-made, priceless, and had always been provided for the bigwigs in both business and politics, not for an average joe. Many students of The Royal Creek Institute gathered around the school gate, but no one gave the vehicle a second look until they saw a white Maserati slowly pulling up behind this vehicle, and everyone went ape. Max, in the front passenger seat of the black vehicle, looked back in puzzlement and then said to Jared, “I remember it now.

Didn’t Ellison say that his grandson came back today? He must be in the car behind us.” Jared was expressionless, as he had never been interested in these people.

He just rested his elbow on the windowsill and looked out at the campus scenery of the Royal Creek Institute. His handsome silhouette loomed in the shadow, and the students of the Royal Creek Institute only had time to glimpse a beautifully curved jaw, and the black vehicle was gone.

Those students were stunned for a few seconds before they snapped back and continued to cheer Harvey.

They were stunned for a reason: no one had ever seen such a so They could not help but imagine in their minds how good-looking the man was. Harvey in the white Maserati was deep in thought; he had also seen the vehicle in front. The driver saw Harvey was zoning out, looking at the car in front.

He thought Harvey was not happy that the other car had gone in front of him.

“Mr.

Riddle, the driver in that car, thinks he owns the place.

He drives so slowly and hogs the main lane.

Doesn’t he know the Ellison family car is behind him?”. Harvey shot a glance at the driver, but no one knew what he was thinking. If he had not seen it wrongly, that vehicle should belong to Preston Riddle.

But was he not supposed to be abroad? Why did he come to the Royal Creek Institute? Seeing that more and more people outside had recognized Harvey’s car and wanted to come over to take a glimpse of his face, the entire stretch of road became congested.

No matter how hard the driver honked the horn, it was useless.

He could not help but wipe the sweat from his forehead and carefully looked at Harvey behind him.

“Mr.

Ellison…” Harvey glanced out the window with a spring-like smile.

“Just drop me here.

I will walk over.” He opened the car door.

Before he got out, he turned back his head to look at the driver as if he had thought of something.

“Drive the car back to my garage, and then you can get your salary from the family butler.

You are fired.” The driver not only talked too much but also did not do his job.

He was supposed to solve problems for his master, not the other way round.

There was no point in keeping him.

The way Harvey said it was gentle as if he was asking the driver to get his lunch.

But his words caused the driver to freeze. Looking at Harvey’s smiling face, the driver did not even dare to protest but nodded in acknowledgment.

When Harvey got out of the car, everyone instantly gathered, chattering and talking around him. “Wow, he is really handsome.

I have no more regrets in this life!” “You look like a celebrity.

May I have your autograph?” “Stop comparing Harvey with those brainless celebrities.

Harvey is a famous mathematical genius!” Listening to these people arguing and talking about his private life, the smile on Harvey’s face broadened.

He raised a finger to his lips, gesturing them to keep their voices down, but that had instead caused a group of girls to scream madly.

Harvey’s eyes darkened as he looked at those girls screaming with their hands covering their faces. Soon, everyone quietened down, and only then Harvey spoke.

“I am glad to meet you all, but I still need to prepare something.

I wonder if you guys can give way so I can go?” When everyone saw his personable, smiling face like the purest snow in the world, they could not help but become eager about what he was going to prepare and consciously make way for him.

After all, who could say no to an elegant and attractive man?

 

Chapter 90

Harvey walked through unhurriedly.

All eyes were on him, but he was unaware of it, always having a smile on his face.

The sun seemed gentle when it shone on his face, treating such a perfect person as if even the light was favoring him. When he finally walked away into the distance, people behind him exclaimed, “Truly in Harvey’s fashion- no one could come close when it comes to his magnanimity.” “He is the son of the Ellison family, not a son of the nouveau riche like others in the school, but a real noble.

He is in a different league altogether.” “When I had not met him in person, I was still wondering if he could be worthy of Snow.

Now I feel like Snow isn’t necessarily worthy of him.” No one refuted that statement.

Even Snow’s fans, who were usually her staunch defenders, were quiet as a church mouse.

There was not a word from them. The truth was too apparent.

Comparing Snow’s disposition with Harvey’s was akin to comparing peanuts with pearls.

She was too pretentious, a stark contrast to Harvey’s genuineness. But many people were still very supportive of the two coming together.

After all, there were few good-looking girls in the Royal Creek Institute previously. The Royal Creek Institute covered a large area.

There was a hill behind the school.

The hill offered breathtaking scenery, lush greenery, and fresh air.

No one in the Royal Creek Institute knew the hill was Mr.

Riddle Sr.’s little gift to Harvey.

It was a privately-owned hill.

Harvey would usually take a detour every time he went to his grandfather’s office.

After all, few people traversed this road, and he could find some quiet moments here.

He walked at a leisurely pace but not slow.

It did not take long before he came to the path down the hill. It was an open space where Harvey occasionally came here for a run when he was still living on campus, so he had a wooden chair installed here.

He would sit here for a while when you had nothing to do.

It could be said that this was his exclusive seat. But this time, he was surprised.

He found on his exclusive chair a bunch of strange items.

There were some things like weapons with unique looks as if they were things that would only be used in practicing martial arts. Harvey rarely showed emotions on his face.

But at this time, he clearly looked surprised.

‘Who would play such a thing in school? Could it be that some martial art wizard had come while I was away?’ He looked up ahead, and sure enough, he saw a person.

Harvey took a few steps forward to take a closer look.

He was astonished to find that the person practicing martial arts was a girl.

Harvey could not see her face clearly, only that she had a fair complexion and was holding a whip-like weapon in her hand.

Every time she withdrew her hand, the whip would oscillate around her like a snake.

Sometimes as she struck down, the tail of the ld hit the ground, producing an extremely crisp and sharp slapping sound, as if a thunderbolt exploded next to the ears. Whips were one of the most difficult weapons to master in modern martial arts.

But this girl could handle it with ease.

How could he not know that there was such a martial art genius in the Royal Creek Institute? She was agile but losing no strength. Harvey looked at her, fascinated.

He wanted to get further closer to see who she really was. Nicole was now ready to wrap up by pulling up the whip with the sway of her hand.

As she turned around, she was surprised to see a clueless guy, who appeared out of nowhere, standing so close to her.

Nicole could not change the whip’s direction by now, her face grave.

She spun herself around and wrapped the whip around her waist in the nick of time to avoid hurting someone.

But even so, the whip’s tail carrying a chilly air still swished past in front of Harvey’s eyes.

The girl’s characteristic coolish fragrance fleeted past the tip of his nose, causing his heart to race. “Why did you suddenly come so close? Don’t you know it is very dangerous?” Nicole shot him an irritated glare, wondering why he was so reckless.

If she had not reacted quickly enough, he would have surely been wounded or something. Harvey only then snapped back and saw Nicole’s face.

‘She’s so stunning! She’s like the spring blossom, cold as the moon in the night sky, dignified yet irresistibly alluring.’ As if she did not want her hair to affect her movements, her long hair was braided into several strands, bent around the side of her neck, and cascaded down smoothly on her chest.

The inky black hair and icy eyes made her look aloof and out of this world. Harvey looked at her quietly.

He then recognized her as the person, Nicole, who had been discussed on the school forum lately. He came out of his daze and let out a gentle smile.

“Hello, Nicole,” he said, his tone of voice proud yet reserved. Nicole frowned, not impressed with this guy who came disturbing her martial arts practice.

He was nearly wounded yet still greeted her and did not have any remorse. She did not know how he knew her, and she was not interested in having any conversation with him.

She said in an icy voice, “If you still want to live, don’t watch someone practice martial arts at such a close-range next time.” With that, she walked over to the wooden chair, packed up her things, and left. Harvey was left looking sheepish as she went.

She is arrogant!’ he thought to himself. He was the most outstanding son of the Ellisons and the only heir to the Ellison Group.

Everyone who met him would treat him with respect, and some even tried to brown-nose him.

But Nicole was distant and did not give a damn who he was.

‘Damn it! I can’t believe I am not angry at all.

Instead, 1-I feel like being in love! H-Have I fallen in love with her at first sight?’
