Chapter 1867
As he watched Gary''s movements, Ryder understood everything...
He immediately nodded and motioned for Gary to let go, indicating that he will not speak about it.
It was only then did Gary awkwardly let go.
Ryder smiled as he shoved Gary a little. "Sure. I think she''s a pretty good girl..."
He said that earnestly. Back in school, Nicole was very famous, but she was in the high school division
while he was in the university division, so they had no interactions before, but now...
Now he knew Nicole was the godlike hacker they worshiped and, moreover, she had medical skills and
was academically excellent. Furthermore, the Riddle family was recently on the rise, and he wondered
if the Finley family could ever reach their level.
Yet, Gary rolled his eyes at him. "Ryder, how ill-informed can you be? Nicole is Jared''s fiancee. The
two of them had their engagement ceremony some time ago, and I went there on your behalf..."
When Gary mentioned this, Ryder was taken aback for a moment as he seemed to recall this matter.
Suddenly, he felt extremely lost for a moment.
"So, she''s Jared Johnston''s fiancee?"
''Ah... so she''s already engaged.''
Inexplicably, the bitterness in Ryder''s heart was far more than when he heard that his baby brother
liked Nicole.
Gary smiled bitterly. "Yeah... I heard they''re getting married soon."
Ryder fell silent as he patted his brother on the shoulder. "Ah well, a good girl will definitely have many
excellent men around her."
They im to be excellent themselves, but whenpared to Jared, they were like heaven and earth.
"Yeah..." Gary let out a sigh as he looked at Nicole dejectedly.
The two brothers then said nothing else.
When Nicole returned to school, the school had already learned that the Royal Creek Institute had
snagged the championship.
The self-study ss was pretty much abandoned as all of the students gathered at the school gate,
waiting to wee the participating students back.
Mr. Ellison was at the front and when he saw them get out of the car, he stepped forward and said,
"Good work, all of you."
Those words were said while he looked at Nicole.
The crowd immediately made way for Gary and Ryder. The pros of the previous year could only be
Nicole''s foil this time around.
"Winning glory for school is only natural," Nicole said.
Mr. Ellison then smiled from ear to ear.
He had always been butting heads with that old coot in Northon Institute, and the two had been hostile
to one another for many years now.
It had always been Royal Creek Institute hogging the championship but Northon Institute unexpectedly
wonst year''spetition, so the entire school was upset about it.
Yet, it was said that the boy from Northon Institute was very good and Royal Creek Institute''s teacher in
charge did not have much confidence at all this year.nov.ele.book Somehow, the moment Nicole
showed up, they won the championship back.
''What can''t Nicole do, really?''
Recruiting Nicole into the school was the best decision he had made.
"Congrattions, on behalf of the school," Mr. Ellison said.
Behind him, a group of students already pulled up a banner.
Just as Mr. Ellison said his piece, Lulu and June led the crowd as they cheered. "Nicole! Nicole!
Invincible!"
When Nicole heard that cheer chorus, she turned and looked at Lulu and June helplessly.
These two girls must havee up with this cheer. It was just really blowing things out of proportion.
But everyone actually shouted along and they were very enthusiastic and energetic at it.
It was only until Ms. Emerson said, "Alright, alright. Nicole is probably tired now. Let''s gather in the
hall."
"Yes, Ms. Emerson!" Everyone nodded as they turned around and walked to the school hall.
In order to celebrate the victory of the Royal Creek Institute, all sses took a break from ss and
gathered in the hall to watch thepetition broadcast.
Nicole raised an eyebrow and asked Gary beside her, "Are the broadcasts always that fast?"
Gary nodded. "It''s always been like this. After all, thispetition is one of the bigger ones in the
country. I heard they wanted to do a live broadcast, but due to fear of mishaps, they dyed the
broadcast by two hours and will only y it after editing."
Nicole raised her eyebrows. That was still very fast.
And she could not help but feel a little regretful.
''Does that mean my identity as Lucifer can no longer be hidden?''
Ever since she came to San Joto, her hidden identities had been exposed one after another at record
speed.
"I won''t be joining you guys. Watching myself is just so awkward." Nicole did not want to experience the
shock of everyone finding out who she was live.
"Eh? Why?" Lulu immediately came over. "Let''s go. This is the school celebrating for you, you know!"
As she was pulled along by Lulu, Nicole felt very embarrassed.
Yet, she could not very well refuse that, so she had to follow the crowd to the hall.
The big screen in the hall was ready to broadcast.
After everyone took their seats, the broadcast began.
Nicole sighed as she followed everyone and looked at the screen. Sure enough, her earlier slothful
appearance was on full disy.
"Woah, Nicole looked so casual before thepetition."
"Yeah, she looked like she was rxing or something."
"I know, right? She was even captaining Ryder and Gary too."
"So cool!"
Thepliments made Nicole squirm.
Halfway through the broadcast, she took the opportunity to go to the toilet, but in reality, she wanted to
flee and not go back.
Yet, just as she was about to step out, she ran into Harvey.
He seemed to have something to do so he camete.
As he happened to run into Nicole, he let out a coy smile. "Congrattions, president. I heard you won
theputerpetition."
Nicole''s face was icy cold and she tried to walk around him...
Yet, Harvey stood in her way and as he looked at thepetition broadcast on the screen behind her,
he instantly understood what was going on. "Why? Embarrassed to look at yourself? Want to get a
drink?"
Seeing that Harvey was not letting her go, Nicole hissed icily. "No need. I''m fine."
After that, she turned around and went back to her seat.
When Lulu saw her, she asked. "Why are you back again?"
Harvey just happened to walk past her as she said coldly, "Ran into a prick."
When Harvey heard that, he was not only not angry, he even sat down at the empty seat behind her.
Nicole suddenly felt ufortable.
However, Harvey was indifferent, watching the screen as Nicole soon appeared a little. novelebook At
the end, when the host revealed Nicole''s identity, everyone was stunned.
"My goodness, Nicole is Lucifer?"
"That inte god?"
"Oh my god... What does Nicole NOT know?"

Ever since Nicole joined the Royal Creek Institute, she had subverted everyone''s expectations time
and time again, creating miracle after miracle as her identity was exposed one after another. It was
really just shocking.
Harvey was surprised too. He knew Nicole was skilled with aputer, but he did not expect her to be
THAT skilled... and for her to be the number one hacker in the world!
''Nicole, Nicole, how many more identities are you hiding from me?''
He clenched his fist tightly, really wanting to get his hands on Nicole right there and then.
''Soon, soon...''
Holding his fist tightly, he slowly approached Nicole and whispered to her from behind with a voice only
the two of them could hear. "Nicole... I really, really want to make you mine."
