Ch. 96..100: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 96-100

Chapter 96

Except for her achievement in the Math Olympiad, Nicole had nothing to show in other areas.

But Austin had no qualms about accepting Nicole’s offer, and that made Raine angry.

Austin was in the same grade as her, who was sitting in front of them and the top student in 12th grade.

Austin had snubbed her by doing that.

She sneered when thinking of this.

“I admire Nicole’s courage.

She herself was at the bottom of the barrel yet wanted to give Austin tuition.

She should have more self-awareness.” Raine echoed.

“Yeah, she is really audacious enough to do that.

Let’s wait and see how she embarrasses herself.” Gary had no appetite and felt depressed when the thought of the bet between Nicole and Mr.

Kennedy came to mind.

The Math Olympiad would be held one day before the monthly exam, so his time was tight.

With this thought in mind, Gary stood up, ignored Raine, who was still talking to herself and left the caféteria with his bag.

Raine looked melancholily at Gary and stomped her feet in hatred as he went.

“It is all Nicole’s fault! It affects Gary’s appetite again!” As she spoke, she glanced at Nicole and Lulu, who were queuing in line.

The longer she looked, the more upset she became. Having spotted an opportunity, Norah said, “Don’t worry, we don’t need to do anything now because she is going to make an exhibition of herself soon.” ‘Both the Math Olympiad competition and the monthly exam were just around the corner.

Everyone would see Nicole’s true colors.

When the time comes, I will add fuel to the fire and make her reputation stink By then, Jared will ditch her.’Norah smiled triumphantly at the thought that she would soon beat Raine and Snow and gain Jared’s favor. What Norah said quickly calmed Raine down, and a sneer crept across Raine’s face.

She would like to take a good look at how long Nicole could remain smug. After the lunch break, the news that Nicole was going to give Austin tuition spread.

Many people were gloating and laughed at Nicole for biting off more than she could chew. Nicole was sitting in her seat.

Bradley, sitting next to her, looked over and whispered at Nicole after seeing the school forum.

“Nicole, are you really going to give Austin tuition?” Nicole flipped through the book in her hand.

“I just asked him to ask me questions he didn’t know.” Bradley was just about to say something, but Jack in the back could no longer sit still.

At first, Jack had changed his mind about Nicole.

But she had not only refused Gary’s help but also promised something that she could not deliver.

Now Gary was studying desperately every day, worried that he would embarrass himself for not getting first place.

What about Nicole? She brazenly said that she was going to give Austin tuition in this tense moment.

So Jack disliked Nicole now.

She had scored zero on the test.

What made her think she could teach others? If she had the time, she should run errands for Gary instead. Jack could not help but sneer.

“Be more self-aware, Nicole.

Why would others seek your advice when you have scored zero? Even if Austin is not as great as others, he is still in the top ten.” Speaking of this, Jack paused for a few seconds before he continued.

“You care so much about Austin, but why don’t you see how much Gary has done for you? Gary is studying hard to make up for your big talk, yet you show no gratitude for him at all.

Don’t you think you are going too far?” His speech was so impassioned that he even felt righteous.

But Nicole did not even look at him but lazily rested her head on her hand and flipped through the book Jack banged the table with anger.

“This is enough, Nicole! At first, I thought you were just reserved and not a bad person.

But I was wrong.

You are really the same as what was written on the school forum: cold-blooded and violent.”

Chapter 97

Chapter 97 Nicole heard him say this and slowly looked back at him.

There was no emotion in her upturned eyes as if she just wanted to see who he really was. Bradley, who was next to them, stood up.

“Who do you say is cold blooded? The last time Nicole and I were attacked by Cain, I saw a few of you nearby.

Did you guys come over to help us? If it weren’t for Nicole, I might still be lying in the hospital.

What has she done to you that makes you want to accuse her of being cold blooded and violent?” Jack looked speechlessly at Bradley.

It was really their fault last time.

Nicole might have first said that she did not need their protection, but they should not have sat by and done nothing while watching their classmates being beaten up. Seeing that everyone in the class was all looking at her, the class monitor frowned, stood up, and maintained orders.

“Bradley, just shut up, would you? Jack, you sit down, too.” After Jack sat down, Bradley was indignant.

Apparently, it was Jack who provoked Nicole first. “Obviously, it was Jack who provoked Nicole first.

Shouldn’t you scold him?” Vivian, the class monitor, looked at Bradley impatiently.

She was frustrated when she saw Nicole’s face from the corner of her eye. She was irate to see Nicole stirring up trouble just because she was pretty.

There was nothing wrong with what Jack said. “Bradley, I know you and Nicole are friends, and you are on her side.

But Nicole’s behavior has brought a negative impact on our class.

I think what Jack said about her has merit.

You shouldn’t defend her again.” Nicole heard this and lazily looked up at Vivian.

Nicole’s stare caused Vivian to feel diffident.

But she continued to condemn Nicole.

“I think Nicole should apologize to Gary.

After all, it is because of her irresponsible words that caused trouble to Gary.” Most of the classmates agreed with Vivian.

They all looked at Nicole as if urging her to apologize.

Seeing this, Nicole closed the book with a snap.

Just as Bradley wanted to say something, she turned to look at him, motioning him to sit down first.

Nicole then stood up and walked toward Gary in the back row without looking at Vivian at all.

She looked cold yet exuded an indescribable beauty. Gary watched as Nicole strode over and looked condescendingly at him.

With both her hands on the table, she leaned slightly toward him with intimidation.

Nicole looked at Gary in front of him with a rare hint of anger on her face.

“Gary, when did I say I needed you to win the bet?” No one expected Nicole to talk to Gary like this.

All eyes were on her with surprise.

Gary looked sheepishly at Nicole, whose face was so close to him that he could smell the refreshing scent of her body.

But her question sounded so merciless.

He was just trying to help her win the bet.

Yet she turned around to question him. Vivian saw Nicole questioning Gary and got even more worked up.

She frowned and said, ” Nicole, don’t you think you have gone too far? Everyone knows your level.

Who do you think you are that can get back first place in the Math Olympiad competition? In case you don’t know, the mayor is paying great attention to this year’s Math Olympiad competition, and he will be one of the guests presenting the award.

It is okay if you don’t appreciate Gary’s help, but you shouldn’t question him.

You are really hopeless.” Nicole did not look at Vivian.

She stared at Gary and said coldly, “Gary, you must take note that you should not just care about what you think.

Instead, please see if others need your help What she meant was obvious: she did not need his help at all.

Chapter 98

With that said and disregarding whether Gary had understood what she said, Nicole pulled back her hands from the table and walked slowly back to her place.

The entire class was silent. Gary looked at Nicole’s back.

Even if she leaned back lazily, her back was still straight, unlike the pretentious pride of Raine and Snow.

Nicole’s pride was not showy but subtle and in her bones.

But her pride could be felt in her behavior, look, and action.

Maybe he was indeed wrong this time.

But when thinking of Nicole’s zero-score test paper, a determined look appeared in Gary’s eyes again.

Mr.

Louis had once said that Nicole was talented, and he would not want Nicole to be barred from taking part in the Math Olympiad competition from now on.

He must help her win the bet.

Thinking of this, Gary glanced at Nicole and then said coldly to Jack, “You come with me.” Jack looked at Gary in bafflement, wondering if he had offended him.

After Gary and Jack left, the class fell into a dead silence.

Instead of dealing with Nicole, Gary chose to call Jack, who was the source of the problem, out.

Everyone, especially the girls, looked at Nicole with jealousy in their eyes.

Vivian looked at Nicole frostily as if she was to poke a hole in Nicole’s body with her gaze. But Nicole did not look at her.

In her eyes, Gary was the crux of all the problems.

Fixing Gary and the others would automatically fall in line. The school bell rang, and everyone pulled back their attention from Nicole, acting as if nothing had happened.

Ms.

Emerson walked in and saw Gary and Jack not being in their seats.

She frowned but said nothing After class, Ms.

Emerson called Nicole out alone, handed her two exercises, looked at her, and said, “I have pondered about it and think that you are not someone who would say something irresponsibly.

These are the original math papers authored by Mr.

Hancock from previous Math Olympiad competitions.

Take them back and study them.” Nicole looked at her and felt a little surprised.

It seemed that Ms.

Emerson really thought so when she saw Ms.

Emerson’s sincere look on her face.

So Nicole did not decline but took the two exercises.

“Thank you, Ms.

Emerson.” “Go now.” Ms.

Emerson smiled at her. Nicole walked away, but Ms.

Emerson stood there, looking at Nicole, and whispered, “All the best, Nicole.” She had been thinking about it all these days.

Nicole was just trying to prove herself.

She should not have suspected Nicole.

As a teacher, she should have encouraged her students. Back at the office, Ms.

Emerson had just sat down when Mr.

Kennedy came over with a thermos cup in his hand.

“I heard that your student, Nicole, who couldn’t even help herself, wanted to give the second-to-last Austin tuition.

I just want to remind you that Austin is in twelfth grade and his poor academic performance is not something that Nicole can help.

You have got to look after this ‘Math Olympiad genius’ of yours.

Don’t forget, we still have a bet.”

Chapter 99

Mr. Kennedy was triumphant as if he had seen Nicole lose her bet. Mr. Kennedy swagged out of the office, thinking that Ms.

Emerson would let him taunt her and say nothing, just like she would previously.

But he was wrong this time.

Ms. Emerson said faintly from behind him, “Mr. Kennedy, you don’t have to worry about how my students are doing.

Nicole has the freedom to choose, and I will not interfere.

However, there is one thing I am curious about you, Mr. Kennedy.

Can’t you even afford a cup of coffee? Otherwise, why would you always come to my office for coffee?” Getting taunted by Ms.

Emerson, Mr. Kennedy looked back and pointed at her angrily.

“How dare you satirize me! You had better believe I will tell the director—” Ms. Emerson was sitting at her desk, looking at him frostily, her face nonchalant when she heard him mention the director. She had thought it through.

Instead of grinning and bearing it every day, she might as well send the helve after the hatchet and resign.

Mr. Kennedy was stunned by what she said.

He had always been bullying newcomers and had never been treated like this.

So he did not know how to deal with it for a while but could only say some harsh words.

“Great, Ms. Emerson.

You don’t even give a damn to the director now.

Remember what you have said.” Ms.Emerson watched on and felt vindicated as he turned away, disconcerted. But Mr.

Kennedy said Nicole was going to give tuition to Austin? What was he talking about? Nicole was in Mathematics school, while Austin was in language school and a twelfth-grader.

How did an eleventh-grader give tuition to Austin? But as she herself said, Ms. Emerson was not going to interfere with Nicole’s decisions and actions.

Nicole had her own ideas, and she knew what she was doing. Ms. Emerson took a sip of hot coffee.

She did not bother much about what Nicole did. It was dinnertime.

Nicole and Lulu headed straight to the caféteria after school. While on the way there, Lulu was chattering about how cool Nicole was at noon.

Nicole listened on with not much reaction on her face.

She just did what she felt she should do, not as cool as Lulu said. The two arrived at the caféteria, ordered their food, then found a place and sat down.

Just.

then, there was a sudden commotion in the caféteria, and Lulu looked over curiously. “Wow! It is Harvey and Snow! Are they here to have dinner together?” The girls had gone ape.

After all, Harvey was a twelfth-grader.

Just like Stanley, the president of the student council, he could rarely be seen at school.

So it was a surprise that Harvey had been appearing in school for the past two days.

What a broad stroke of luck.

Harvey and Snow were walking side by side, both of them having very gentle smiles on their faces. Harvey wore a white casual suit, looking warm and gentle.

His handsome face did not show any displeasure despite the commotion.

Instead, he was courteous and gentle to everyone.

Snow, who walked beside him, was a little outclassed.

She was beautiful, gentle, and generous, no doubt.

But she did not look as eye-catching as she should be in front of Harvey.

“People say Snow is imitating Harvey’s fashion, and it looks like it is the case,” someone whispered.

Many people nodded their heads in agreement.

After all, the traces of imitation were too obvious.

Nicole did not look at the two people who were celebrated by all, while Lulu exclaimed in surprise, “It is really Harvey! I couldn’t see his face clearly during the flag-raising ceremony because of the distance.

But seeing him in close-range, he looks even more charming.” Nicole was busy having her meal and ignored Lulu’s cries of excitement.

The hoo-ha stopped all of a sudden.

So did Lulu.

Nicole then heard Lulu ask in a strange tone of voice, “Do you know Harvey?” “No,” Nicole replied without looking up.

Lulu continued.

“Really? But he has been staring at you, and now he is coming toward you.” Nicole paused what she was doing and looked up.

Sure enough, Harvey, who was still surrounded by the crowd, was slowly walking step over toward her table.

Snow was following Harvey, eyes staring at Nicole with ill will.

Nicole immediately grabbed her bag and said to Lulu, “Let’s go.” Lulu was a little confused, but she still did what Nicole said, carrying her plate and preparing to leave. Seeing Nicole standing up as if to leave, the smile in Harvey’s eyes stopped.

He had never seen someone like her who avoided him like the plague. Before Nicole could go far, she heard an extremely gentle voice calling out.

“Nicole, wait a second.” His voice was the same as yesterday, full of a hint of lofty gentleness.

She walked ahead, ignoring him and the stares from others. Everyone in the caféteria was looking at them.

They all were surprised to hear Harvey call out Nicole’s name.

For someone as popular as Harvey, there were less than a handful of people in the entire Royal Creek Institute who could actually talk to him. After all, considering Harvey’s family background, not everyone, especially commoners, could talk to him.

People even felt inadequate to get a gentle glance from him.

Harvey might look friendly, but deep down inside, he was full of himself.

He was nice to everyone, but he only remembered the names of a few of them.

But just now, he had called out Nicole’s name with no difficulty. Many girls looked jealous in their eyes the moment he called out Nicole’s name.

They had liked Harvey for so long a time, yet Harvey did not even remember their faces.

Never mind Snow, who had been following Harvey all this while.

But who did Nicole think she was to deserve Harvey’s attention? Just because she had a pretty face, or was it because she could stir up trouble?

 

Chapter 100

Everyone thought Nicole would stop when Harvey called out her name.

It turned out that Nicole not only did not stop but also walked even faster.

Nicole frowned, and she saw the staircase up ahead packed with people wanting to get a glimpse of Harvey.

“Please give way.

Thank you.” These people just looked at her in astonishment, and they gave no response after hearing her words.

It was as if her disregard for Harvey had stunned them. While Nicole looked impatiently at these people blocking her way, Harvey had come up from behind, while Snow could barely keep up.

It was clear that Snow had lost pace in catching up with Harvey. She was almost being left behind by Harvey in front of everyone’s eyes, and this was an even greater shame than screwing up her deportment.

Snow looked at Nicole with bitter eyes. Harvey also looked at Nicole, his eyes filled with unspeakable emotion.

It had been a long time since he last lost himself in pursuing someone.

He now did not even get a response from her, even though he called her name.

She really had many surprises for him.

Nicole turned to look at the two of them.

She had no words.

Since she could not walk away, she placed her and Lulu’s plates into the plate collection position before turning around and looking at Harvey and Snow with her arms folded. Harvey did not look like he was angry.

Instead, a smile spread across his face as he saw Nicole’s apathy.

“You heard I was calling you, didn’t you? Why didn’t you wait?” It was better for him not to call her because she made a run for it when he did.

Nicole really did not respect him at all. Nicole looked at him indifferently.

Neither did she answer his question.

Lulu looked at Nicole, then at Harvey, and whispered, “Harvey, Nicole said she doesn’t know you.

She rarely interacts with people she doesn’t know.” Everyone was even more stunned at this moment.

Who in school did not know Harvey? He was mr. Ellison’s grandson.

Yet Nicole said she did not know him? Nine out of ten did not believe it.

But to say that she knew Harvey and ignored him made her look even more arrogant.

Harvey’s face changed subtly upon hearing this.

Yesterday he had said hello to her, yet she now said that she did not know him? He felt ineffably upset but still looked gentle on his face.

He looked at Lulu and said, “Thank you for telling me that.” Lulu blushed as Harvey looked at her.

Nicole stepped forward and kept Lulu behind her.

“If I am not mistaken, you are up to something here.” He extended an olive branch to Lulu because he could do nothing with her.

No way she was going to be fooled. Her alertness surprised Harvey.

Nicole looked at him, knowing that this guy was up to no good.

There was a smile on her face, but deep down inside, she was indifferent.

Harvey snapped back from his thought, looking at Nicole, and said softly, “Hi, Nicole, 1 arn Harvey.

This is my friend Snow.

Now we know each other, don’t we?” Nicole said nothing, nor there were emotions on her face.

It was as if this was just not-so clever acting Harvey was not angry either.

“Now that we know each other, let’s talk about you bullying Snow and Raine.” There was an uproar as soon as his voice trailed off.

Sure enough, Harvey was here to stand up for Snow.

All eyes were on Nicole at this moment.

Everyone watched with a look of great schadenfreude. Nicole watched the farce, her expression turning icy as she looked Harvey in the eyes.

“What do you really want to say?” Harvey looked at the uncooperative girl, the smile on his face fading gradually.

Instead, a glint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

“If you apologize to the two of them in public and promise not to bother them again, I will let the matter rest.

How about that?” Snow was triumphant, ready to hear Harvey give Nicole some severe punishments.

After all, his grandfather, mr. Ellison, was the principal of the Royal Creek Institute.

Meting out punishment for Nicole could not be easier.

To her surprise, Harvey had just asked Nicole to apologize? Her eyes were filled with indignation, and Snow whined, “Harvey…” Snow was taking great pains to maintain her magnanimous image.

Instead of telling Harvey that she was not happy with the outcome, she used her puppy dog eyes on him.

It would not only show her closeness to Harvey but also let Harvey understand her hint. But all this fell through, for Harvey completely ignored her.

He looked solemnly at Nicole across from him, waiting for her to buckle. Before he returned from abroad, he had seen the photos on the school forum and was thinking of giving Nicole a severe punishment.

But after he dug deeper, he found some people thought Nicole was not as bad as the rumors.

So Harvey just wanted Nicole to apologize when he confronted her.

He thought Nicole would agree to such a simple request.

After all, this punishment was really light. But Nicole just looked at him with a smirk and said indifferently, “Why should I apologize?” Apparently, it

was the two of them who made things up.

So why should she apologize to the two of them? Harvey looked at her frosty and proud expression, which looked as if she saw him as a nobody.

Between the two of them, he clearly had a higher stature, yet she was still proud.

Her upturned eyes had a light in them as if it was an indestructible sword. Her contempt made Harvey’s gaze turn cold.

No one had ever dared to defy his words in front of him.

“I give you one last chance.

Apologize to Snow, and I will let the matter rest.” Nicole did not even look at Snow.

Instead, she looked Harvey in the eyes, not feeling intimidated.

“Same answer: Why should I?” Harvey looked at her and had a headache all of a sudden.

She was just a girl.

So why did she not obey his words? Why was she not under his control? Why did she look at him with such indifferent eyes? Everyone, including Lulu, was standing behind Harvey, unable to see his almost out-of control expression.

Nicole looked at him and let out a smile at last.

She approached him but quickly walked past him, just like when they first met, leaving behind only a faint, refreshing fragrance.

Only this time, she had spoken to him.
