My Wife is a Hacker

Chapter 70

Though Mr. Ellison had only met Jared a few times, Jared’s presence was nowhere weaker than his every time they met. ‘This young man, Jared, definitely has a bright future.’ Jared stood up gracefully when he saw that Mr. Ellison did not continue the conversation. Jared walked slowly toward the end of Mr. Ellison’s long office desk, which had a massive floor -to-ceiling window next to it. At that moment, the sun was bright, illuminating Jared to the point where he looked like he was glowing. Mr. Ellison’s office was on the top floor, so they could clearly see Royal Creek Institute’s entire campus. Jared stood in front of the window and chuckled strangely. “Mr. Ellison, I want to invest in your school.” Mr. Ellison did not know why Jared had such a thought, but he was immediately alert when he thought about how Jared wanted to get someone from him. “Why are you saying this all of a sudden, Mr. Johnston?” Jared turned to look at Mr. Ellison. Half of his charming face was basking under the sun while the other half was in the shadows. He smiled with his eyes and looked painfully handsome. “It’s obviously because Royal Creek Institute has a lot of potentials.” Jared thought, ‘You even have a genius like Lucifer.’ He squinted his eyes slightly when he thought about the hundred million dollars Lucifer made him lose, which was an accident that he had never made. The area of search for Lucifer is gradually getting smaller. If I keep my eyes on Royal Creek Institute, I will definitely catch Lucifer.’ Mr. Ellison hesitated further when he heard Jared’s response. But he did not want to offend Jared too much, so he slowly said, “Mr. Johnston, this is something long-term. Give me some time to consider.” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

The Johnston Group was a big company, and even its divisions were strong. Mr. Ellison had to ponder about this further. Jared was clear of Mr. Ellison’s worries, so he did not want to pressure him. Jared immediately agreed, saying, “Sure, I hope you can give me a satisfactory response, Mr. Ellison.” Mr. Ellison walked Jared out of his office. His worries doubled as he looked at Jared’s cynical figure from the back.

Jared coming back as the unofficial heir of the Johnston family this time was a talk in San Joto. Moreover, Mr. Ellison had not risen to prominence in Hustuaburg yet, so he was rather fearful of Jared. Mr. Ellison thought about Jared’s words as he frowned slightly. Meanwhile, Nicole, unaware of any of this, was walking toward her dorm. She did not have to attend the Math Olympiad training class this afternoon. But she had yet to decide where to study the example math problems. After all, she had already made a boastful promise in front of everyone. If she did not put more effort into studying like how a normal person did for maths, she might get another zero again. Nicole was frustrated, unaware that Gary was already sitting in the lecture hall waiting for her. “The class is about to start, so why hasn’t Nicole come yet?’ ‘Nicole sure is stubborn. She already made a bet with Mr. Kennedy this afternoon, saying she would get first place. But she’s not even attending class now. With her standard that got her a zero, does she really want to win by self-studying?’ Gary wondered. Gary also thought about how she did not respond to him when he questioned her. He could not help but ask himself whether he was too harsh. “How fragile. I’ve only questioned Nicole a little, and she doesn’t want to come to class now.” After he said that, he paid attention to class gloomily. Raine was sitting next to Gary when she heard his remarks. She turned and saw that Nicole really did not show up to class. She then connected it to what Gary had said. She was certain that Gary was waiting for Nicole just now! Raine’s eyes were filled with jealousy and frustration when she thought about this. ‘What’s so good about Nicole? Why is she always in Gary’s mind?’ Raine could not help but think of Nicole’s words. Nicole was a vixen. She wouldn’t have seduced him because she was in the same class as Gary, right? After their class ended, Raine forced a smile while she said to Gary, “Gary, the café we went to that day did not appreciate us. To make it up to you, let’s go somewhere better for coffee later. She grinned brightly as she looked around the campus as she was sure that Gary would accept her offer. Raine had splurged for this date. She had spent every cent of her monthly allowance to book a seat in

that café. Raine looked at Gary, full of confidence. She was already prepared to listen to him saying yes to her asking him out. However, Gary did not even spare her a glance and said coldly, “I have things to do these days. I’m afraid I don’t have the time to go with you.” Nicole had pushed him over the brink when she made such a bet with Mr. Kennedy, so he had to study and get the first place like his life depended on it. When Raine saw how he did not bother to sugarcoat things, she immediately thought of the things he said before their class started. How could Raine not know that his excuse had something to do with Nicole? Raine’s blood boiled instantly as she watched Gary leaving without turning back She pulled out her phone and sent a text message before she smiled coldly. ‘Nicole, if you have the guts to seduce Gary, you’ll have to pay!’ she thought. Norah’s phone rang after some time. After she saw Raine’s message, she let out a laugh. ‘What did Nicole do to make Raine angry that Raine wants to mess with Nicole again?’ Celia and Ashley were all friends Norah had introduced to Raine and Snow. But now that they could not offer help anymore,. Norah had no one in mind except the few seniors yesterday… She did not know whether they would still help her out. She thought about it and decided to use Raine’s name to send them a message, asking them to meddle with Nicole. After some time, they replied to her text. Norah unlocked her phone, and her smile immediately froze. ‘What?! The seniors rejected her request! ‘Are these people terrified of Nicole after yesterday’s incident that they don’t dare to mess with Nicole again?’
