My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 85

After saying that, Nicole took the lead and walked in the caféteria’s direction. June looked at Nicole from behind in surprise. She thought Nicole would go to places like The Grove, and she had been prepared to tighten her belt for the rest of the month to treat Nicole to dinner. Even then, she was worried that the money she had would not be enough. So it struck her dumb when Nicole said she preferred going to the caféteria. Though always looking cold, Nicole never showed the slightest impatience when she taught Lulu something. She actually had a good heart. A smile spread across her face when June thought of this.

Raine apparently was a regular at the caféteria, showing off her newly bought clothes and shoes to her friends. But for the sake of Daniel and Gloria, Nicole did not want to say anything more. But Raine leaned against the seat that Nicole had reserved for June and tossed June’s bag aside.
“I am here to warn you. Don’t get carried away simply because you are good at Math Olympiad. Stop shamelessly seducing Gary; don’t say I didn’t warn you. Even if your Math Olympiad is good, the Riddle family will not scrape the bottom of the barrel, accepting someone like you who has scored last place in every test.” Raine thought she had already figured it out, ‘Although Nicole got a perfect score in Math Olympiad, she’s just as good as Gary; Math Olympiad must be her only proficient subject. She must be lousy at other subjects of study. People will know her true competence when the
