Spencer and Samuel froze immediately.Daniel added, "The two of you, don't disturb the adults working."Then, the two younger ones looked at Nicole.'But Nicole's obviously younger than us...'Nonetheless, they could only stare at Nicole sadly and remain silent.The both of them would dare to compare themselves to everyone else, but they would not dare to compare themselves to Nicole.At that point, Nicole was almost done with her meal. She slowly got up and said, "Let's head upstairs."And just like that, Sean and Steve brought Nicole to the study room.On the other hand, Daniel was slowly enjoying his meal with Gloria.Stanley looked at Spencer and Samuel who were angry and said, "The two of you should behave yourselves. Don't disturb your sister at work."Samuel seemed frustrated. "Even Nicole could help out with the family business. We're the only two that are students now."Spencer also cupped his chin. "Yeah, we're also influential people in the school... Now we're goo
Sean mentioned a name, and Nicole easily narrowed down her search, swiftly obtaining the person's IP address before hacking into their system. It was not long until they found the project file that they had wanted to get their hands on. However, the other party was clever, for they had encrypted the file.Sean sighed when he saw the encrypted file, "They've encrypted it. Seems like they're afraid of hackers.""Nicole, can you break the code?" Steve asked, looking a little disappointed, though he still had a little faith in Nicole's abilities.Nicole looked at her two older brothers and smirked. "If I can't crack minor things like these, it would be embarrassing for me to hold the title as San Joto's number one hacker."With that said, Nicole plugged a USB flash drive that she designed to break the file encryption. The devices were being screened, and as time passed, Sean began to lose hope. However, it was at that moment when the screen flashed, indicating that they had succeeded.
"Who knows..." Sean took a deep breath. "But it's an honor to have a sister such as herself.""Yeah, that's true.' Steve smiled and said with a sigh of relief. "I wish to head home and get some rest too. I believe things will go smoothly from here on out.""Yeah, it will be." Sean smiled as he walked out alongside Steve.In the meantime, Samuel and Spencer had heard Nicole's voice echoing from upstairs, only to find Sean and Steve walking out."How was it? Sean? Steve?" they asked."Nicole should never be underestimated!" The looks on the faces of the brothers were to be expected, as they had hoped to get the scoop on everything that had happened.Steve could not help himself from shooting a glance at Sean as he put on a show of deliberate vagueness in front of both Samuel and Spencer. "She's really brilliant! The problem was a piece of cake. You two don't have to worry about anything.""How did you solve it? Tell me everything about it!" Samuel bombarded, as he really wanted to
"The number you dialed is unreachable..."Jared's smile froze and his heart plummeted. 'This woman knows that I've missed her, and yet she does this to me by turning off her phone.'Jared hung up, feeling depressed, and whispered, "I'll deal with you tomorrow..."The next day, Raine and Snow's dismissal from the school caused a ruckus. The two 'IT' girls, as it seemed, had gotten expelled with such relative ease at the start of the semester that Dillon's family had become the laughingstock. With Snow's dismissal from Royal Creek completed, he did not even have the guts to show up in person.Nicole knew that both of their knees had not healed due to all the kneeling they had to do to beg for forgiveness, and that they would not be appearing in public anymore. Otherwise, judging from Karen's brash and ruthless personality, she would make a beeline for Nicole in an attempt to start a fight with her.Royal Creed without both Raine and Snow was eerily silent, and this made Nicole extre
Unwilling to bother with Harvey, Nicole said, "I've never intended to be in the same group as you. I didn't catch what you said earlier."'This vile person knew that I had not heard him at all,' she thought."It doesn't matter anyway since we're both the president and vice president. It's expected that we are both to handle the school affairs together. You ought to start getting used to it." Harvey said with a smile, and emphasized the last few words.Nicole glared at him, "It seems to me that you do not remember anything that had happened last time."'I was a little too easy on him,' she thought.Harvey smirked before giving her an arrogant smile. "Enough. I've suffered enough, so much so that I've been left limping for two days. I couldn't even give him a proper answer when my grandpa asked me what had happened!"Harvey's eyes were brimming with diabolical intentions when Nicole noticed that he was using his grandfather as a shield. "Don't think that you'll be able to weasel yo
'However, I still loved the way she had responded to me. Yes, I still love it, in spite of the fact that she's furious at me.'While he was thinking about this, he instinctively trailed behind Nicole once more. He followed her around the campus, and even with her cold temperament, he still followed her around while giving her explanations about the school festivals.When school was finally over, Nicole turned her phone on and gave Jared a call. On the other end, Jared, who had waited for her call, answered it with displeasure in his voice."What why? I guess it's only now that you bother to return my call. Someone left me two messages last night and fell asleep without awaiting my reply," he said.Nicole issued a sigh of relief as she heard his voice, and her heart calmed down almost immediately as she smiled. "Why? Are you not happy?"'This dude is getting more and more clingy, and he's getting better at teasing too,' she thought."Of course. Back then, whenever I found myself u
"Okay, I'll go ahead and let Max know about this. He might've pushed this issue aside due to some individual pulling tricks on us for the past few days.""Sure, I'll wait for your updates." Nicole nodded. 'Even if Lloyd had lied to me, I know that Jared will not ever lie. He would get to the bottom of the issue just to see if it's the same person.'"Well, that's good to hear. Since you're busy and can't have a date night today, we can arrange it for another night." Jared took a deep breath; his tone filled with disappointment, and his heart filled with yearning for her."Okay." Nicole nodded again.It was at this time that Nicole noticed the crew's car driving over. Fortunately, Nicole had already informed Samuel and Spencer beforehand that they would not be going home together. With that in mind, Nicole immediately hopped onto the van where Anna was sat."Shouldn't you be with Lloyd?" Nicole asked, feeling slightly surprised.It was kind of rare for Anna to pick Nicole up, as sh
He had asked someone else to do the deed. How did Anna find out that it was tempered with?But Anna wore a look of certainty. "Whether it's you or not, we'll talk about it when you arrive at the station. Your partner has already admitted to his crime, by the way! Causing deliberate harm, even if unsuccessful, is against the law! Security, take him out!""Yes, ma'am!" The security staff waiting by the side immediately rushed forward to apprehend the manager.The manager was scared out of his wits!'This means a guilty verdict is already certain! I won't see the light of day again!'"No! No! Help me, Chloe! You've got to help me!"Chloe saw his hand outstretched to grab onto her and dodged to the side in disgust. "Get lost, you!"Such a minor character was nothing to her!It would be better if he was just taken away and did not drag her down with him!However, she did not expect her simple act of disdain to stun the manager. "How can you do this to me? You're the one who instiga
