My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 121
“Mr. Johnston, you are quite eloquent,” said Harvey courteously.
Although Jared had only said a few words, it was enough to show he took Nicole’s side firmly.
Harvey let out a low laugh. Jared, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows without saying anything. He was not surprised that Harvey knew him.
The rest of Snow’s friends were stunned. They were too shocked to react when they heard the way Harvey had addressed Jared.
After all, there were very few families in Northon that would deserve Harvey’s politeness.
Seeing that even Harvey had to act politely toward Jared, Snow pursed her lips and said, “Nicole, we’ll let go of this this since Mr. Johnston is here. I’m not sure how you became friends with these people, but I hope you return on the right path and stop fooling around like this.”
Nicole looked at Snow with indifferent eyes, as if Snow’s words sounded nothing to her. “I don’t need your opinion about my friends. Remember to ask your friend to apologize to Austin.”

There was a smile in Jared’s eyes when he heard Nicole’s words.
Yvana did not expect Nicole would still refuse to let her off the hook. “Nicole, don’t go too far. Do you really think a mere café owner can back vou? There’s no way I will say sorry to a fool
like Austin,” she snarled. “Harvey, say something, quick! I don’t want to apologize to that brainless Austin!”
Harvey’s gaze remained somewhere between Nicole and Jared. “Yvana, don’t be stubborn,” said Harvey without looking at Yvana.
He was asking Yvana to apologize to Austin.
Yvana’s eyes widened. She did not see this coming from Harvey’s mouth. Tears quickly welled up in her eyes as she shot Nicole a glare. “Austin, I’m sorry!” she shouted.
Nicole frowned as she sensed no sincerity in Yvana’s apology. However, Austin was very satisfied with the outcome. He glanced at Yvana deeply. His eyes had a glimmer at first, but it faded and eventually went out.
“Boss, it’s getting late. Let’s go,” said Austin. His tone was soft.
Nicole looked at him and said no more. She responded, “Okay.”
Jared no longer pursued the matter. The moment he passed by Harvey, he retracted his gaze, deadpan.
Harvey’s eyes darkened as he watched the Nicole and her friends go downstairs.
Jared went out of the café with them. After leaving the premise, every one, except for Nicole who had to returned to school since she was staying on campus, parted ways. Before Nicole left, she stopped Austin with a low voice. “You deserve someone better.”
Austin looked at her with light flashed in his eyes. “Thank
you, Boss.”
