My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 77

Raine flinched when reprimanded. She never expected these two matters would take a sudden

turnabout.

Norah was upset and desperate because Raine and Snow could not even win the argument with Nicole;

they were useless in her eyes.

She gritted her teeth and said, “Absolutely. We shouldn’t take things on the school forum too seriously.

Other than Nicole’s zero scores on the Math Olympiad test, the other things are simply hearsay.” Norah’s

words might have overturned everything else, but it reminded Raine. “Absolutely. Everything else can be

fake, but the results can’t be fake. She really scored zero. The post is at the top of the school forum.”

Mr. Riddle Sr. became serious when he looked at Nicole. “Is this true?”

The atmosphere tensed up this time. Daniel and Gloria looked at their daughter, hoping Nicole would

explain that it was fake, as she had just done.

Samuel and Spencer were so busy in the school societies every day and were unaware of it. So they did

not know how to defend her. It did not matter, though, because Nicole had admitted it. “Yes, I scored

zero.”

Raine could not help but laugh upon hearing this. She could not believe that Nicole was bold enough to

admit it in this situation. “You finally admit it.” She smiled triumphantly, waiting to see how things would

end. But Nicole gave no further explanation.

Damien was upset. He looked at Nicole with his brows knitted together. “Aren’t you going to explain what

is going on?” Norah could not describe how elated she was when Nicole was finally being put on the

spot. But she still pretended to comfort her. “We all know that the Math Olympiad competition is tough.

Even Raine has only scored ninety-one marks. If you can’t keep up, tell the teacher that you will

withdraw from the competition. Don’t be so thick-skinned to stay on only to embarrass the Riddle family.”

Raine also added fuel to the fire. “Yeah, Nicole, withdrawal is a better option when you are not up to par.

Don’t embarrass yourself.”

Mr. Riddle Sr.’s face was grave as he saw Nicole appear to be nonchalant. “Nicole, since you can’t keep

up, tell your teacher that you will withdraw from the competition and concentrate on preparing for the

monthly exam.”

“I am not going to quit.” Nicole looked at Mr. Riddle Sr. with a determined look on her face.

Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at her and felt a strange pressure from her gaze. But she was only a teenager.

Ignoring her gaze, he said with irritation. “I will talk to your teacher. You just concentrate on preparing for

the exam and forget about the Math Olympiad competition. Don’t forget that you have scored zero.”

Damien and Dillon also nodded. They did not want Nicole to continue embarrassing them.

Nicole looked at them, who were all using the Riddle family as an excuse. She smiled meaningfully at

each of them, her expression gradually turning cold. She then said faintly,” Don’t worry, Uncles. No one

knows about my relationship with the Riddle family. You all don’t have to worry about me embarrassing

you all.”

Everyone was stunned when they heard what she said. They then realized that Nicole had never

announced at school that she was from the Riddle family. Since that was the case, the saying that Nicole

was embarrassing them at the school did not hold anymore, and that also made them look cowardly.

Both Damien and Dillon quickly shut their mouth in embarrassment.

Nicole then turned to Mr. Riddle Sr. with a determined look. “Grandpa, I promised my class teacher that I

would take part in this competition and that I would win the top spot. I always make sure I will achieve

what I have promised.” Her eyes looked resolute. Her voice was

sonorous and powerful, making Mr. Riddle Sr. feel her resolve.

“From zero to hero. Do you think you can do it?” This was a tough thing for ordinary people, not to

mention a person like her who had no foundation.

Nicole smiled. “Grandpa, even ordinary people could strike a few correct answers when being

blindfolded. Do you really think I have really scored zero?”

This suddenly reminded and stunned Mr. Riddle Sr. She was right. There were a few multiple choice

questions in the Math Olympiad competition. No way one would score zero.

It immediately aroused the curiosity of the entire family, including Samuel and Spencer.

Only then did Nicole take out her answer sheet from her pocket and hand it to the family butler, who then

passed it to Mr. Riddle Sr.

Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at the neat answer sheet, startled. There were many questions that he did not know

the answer to, but there were a few questions that were obviously answered correctly. The only unusual

thing was that there were no calculation steps provided but only answers.

After taking a glance, Mr. Riddle Sr. handed the paper to Damien. “You should be able to understand

these answers.”

Damien frowned, not knowing what Mr. Riddle Sr. meant. He took the exam paper and was surprised.

His wife also came closer to take a look at the answers, and they both looked at each other, their gazes

deepening.

“What is wrong? Why do the expressions of you two look so strange?” Karen sensed something was not

quite right and asked curiously. Everyone looked over at them expectantly. Damien came out of his

shock at last. “The answers on the test paper are all correct.”

“What?” Everyone in the house was stunned.
