My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 144

But since Nicole refused to say anything, Gary could do nothing.
However, his gaze toward Nicole now bore a little more meaning to it.
Vivian saw the interaction between Gary and Nicole, and she bit her lips. Gary was asking Nicole about her relationship with Mr. Rogers Sr. Her parents had gone to the banquet yesterday and said that Mr. Rogers Sr. personally received a very beautiful girl. But due to the distance, they could not hear who it was. Since Gary was asking Nicole, it was very likely that the girl they spoke of yesterday was Nicole! ‘So, the reason she could run rampant in school was because of her relationship with the Rogers family?’ Vivian looked at Nicole with a touch of disdain in her eyes.
‘Who knows what kind of relationship Nicole has with those old coots!’
She glanced at Nicole again one last time. Her brother, Sammey, had also warned her not to provoke Nicole. Not only did her brother not side with her, but instead, he defended Nicole in every single way. How could she live that down?
Vivian noticed that Gary’s eyes were affixed to Nicole, and he did not even notice Ms. Emerson had walked into class. That made her even angrier. After class, Nicole headed to the cafeteria to eat with Lulu.

There were many people still in the cafeteria, and after getting their order and finally finding an empty spot, they were pushed away by a group of girls as they sat on the seats,
Nicole frowned a little, and seeing the group with their gangster girl look, Lulu tugged at her, motioning for her to walk away and not confront them.
That caused Nicole and Lulu to wait for a good while for an empty table. Nicole frowned, and she did not want to give up.
Just as she was about to step forward, a lane opened in the crowd. Harvey nodded in acknowledgment to the people around him as he walked over. Seeing the situation at Nicole’s table, he frowned a little as he walked over and asked, “What’s going on?” He did not look at Nicole but instead asked Lulu, who was standing beside her. Being looked at by Harvey like that, Lulu could not hold it in and told him everything that had happened earlier.
Hearing this, the light in Harvey’s eyes dimmed as he walked to the few gangster girls and knocked on the table as he said, “Girls, seating in the cafeteria is first come, first serve. If you did not come first, then please don’t take the seats.” When the girls saw him, they blushed as they fidgeted while looking at Harvey, saying,” Harvey, we did this because we saw Nicole not respecting you!” When he heard that, the cold glint in his eyes disappeared, but he said even more gently,” Nicole did not disrespect me. You’ve misunderstood. I don’t need you girls to speak out for me but thank you regardless.”
“So, can you girls get up and give the seats to them?” The few girls nodded, but one of them reluctantly said, “Harvey, why are you so nice to Nicole? She’s a bad person, and she isn’t worth your attention!”
Harvey turned and looked at Nicole as he smiled and said, “Don’t you all know the reason already?”
‘Don’t they all know?’ ‘What do you mean?’
The girls looked at each other and recalled the video of Harvey confessing to Nicole.
