My Wife is a Hacker novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274

Seeing this, Preston frowned slightly as he looked at Nicole with a trace of disapproval in his eyes. 

Yet, just as Dillon’s knees were about to hit the ground, Nicole suddenly stretched her leg out and kicked his kneecap. She had a good measure of her strength, ensuring that he would stand up straight and the kick would not hurt his knee. 

He raised his head and looked at Nicole in shock, but she had already walked back to her seat. 

She had only wanted to teach Dillon a lesson and did not plan to let him really kneel before her. 

She would only feel more disgusted if he really did that. On the side, both Daniel and Gloria heaved a sigh of relief, and a trace of gladness appeared in their eyes. 

As expected of our daughter. She is both decisive yet measured.’ Not letting Dillon fully kneel down could be regarded as preserving his face. 

Sean, Steve, and the others, too, let out a gentle sigh of relief. Although they did not agree with Uncle Dillon’s behavior, he was still their elder, and it did not feel right for them to watch him kneel down like that. 

Nicole did not care what the others were thinking as she picked her fork and knife up normally and gave Damien an inquiring look. Damien was temporarily taking over Mr. Riddle Sr.’s place as he lowered his head and said,” Let’s eat.” 

Damien, who had always been happy to be the presiding host, did not even mention what happened earlier at this moment. 

Dillon stood there as he gave Nicole a complicated look. There was hatred, confusion, and doubt, but there was not a single shred of gratitude. 

Seeing the death counter going from eight to nine, Nicole paused for a moment as if wanting to put her phone away. She had been losing so horribly on PC, and out of disbelief, she wanted to give the mobile version a try. 

Yet, the results were the same. 

After dinner, the children were all sent home first. 

The only ones that remained were the elders and Nicole as they gathered before Mr. Riddle Sr.’ s bed. “Dad, is there something important you’d like to say calling all of us here?” Miley asked a little irritably. 

Mr. Riddle Sr. glanced at her and said, “Indeed, I have.”
