Chapter 39 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• Spencer and Stanley nodded with serious looks on their faces. The thought of Cain causing a ruckus at the Royal Creek Institute angered them. Luckily, Nicole was skilled enough to escape from them. Nicole’s explanation was brief, so they eventually thought that Nicole and Bradley had to go through many hurdles to escape. Looking at them, Nicole could not help but let out a smile. She was touched by them. At that moment, the meal was served. Gloria looked at Nicole. “You must’ve used up all your energy already. Didn’t you say you were hungry? Hurry, eat up,” she said gently. Nicole nodded and picked up her spoon to help herself with the steamed fish in front of her. Upon seeing this, Gloria laughed and spoke to Daniel, “Nicole is just like you. She likes fish too.” Daniel looked at her and smiled. Just like that, everyone was happily sitting around the table for a meal as one big family. The past two days, Norah has been hanging out with Celia and the rest with the excuse of being angry. She had not been having dinner at home.
• Although Gloria was worried, she could not bear to say much on the phone. So, she could only remind her to get home earlier. Yet, it turned out that Norah’s absence brought the family together harmoniously. Since Nicole was going to stay in school from the next day on, Gloria had prepared a delicious feast. Samuel loved Gloria’s steak the most. That day, a piece of black pepper steak was placed right in front of him. He devoured it happily, and his face was filled with sauce stains. Spencer, who was sitting next to Samuel, watched him eating messily. He said in disgust,“ Look at you, eating like a wolf. Don’t ever tell others that you’re my brother.” Samuel stared at him in disapproval. But the steak filled up his mouth, and he could not refute Spencer properly. He could only mumble a reply: “Mmm, I don't want you to be my mmmphther eitmer!”.
• He was trying to say, “I don’t want you to be my brother either!” Everyone was amused by his reply and started laughing. The Riddle family had a good time at dinner. After dinner, Nicole returned to her room and took out the laptop from her bag. She had installed and run the cleaning program for one day and one night. It should be enough to remove all the tracking codes. Nicole switched on the laptop and continued her mission. She ran her own monitoring program, and it was a success. She could see the company’s accounts. As expected, there are many issues with this company’s accounts. Most were deficits caused by corruption. Looking at those numbers in red, Nicole quickly completed her mission and waited for the other party to transfer her the money. As soon as she submitted her task, she received a notification on her phone in the next few seconds. Nicole raised her brows, wondering if they were monitoring her progress because they could respond in such a short time. Thinking of this, Nicole felt the shivers. Her fingers quickly ran through her keyboard. She wanted to investigate the background of the company that gave her the task. Nicole was staring at the flashing pages on her computer. As expected, it was just a dummy corporation.
