My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 614 Merry spoke with extra confidence but had no idea that she was completely talking to herself. Jared looked at the conceited woman with impatience flashing in his eyes. He then said with a faint, distant look, “You stopped me just to say this?” Merry was startled upon hearing what Jared said, thinking that Jared’s request for the robot was aimed at hers. After all, she was the best mechanical engineer in the Turmann family. So she told herself that maybe the man gave her this attitude because he wanted to motivate her. So she looked at Jared with a determined look in her eyes. “I just want to tell you that I’ll try to achieve what you want.”
Merry had thought that Jared would be very touched to hear what she said and that he would spare her a glance. But Jared just looked up languidly with indifference in his mesmerizing eyes before he hurried outside. Then she heard his grim voice saying, “You don’t have to.”
Merry’s eyes widened, and she looked upset as Jared left. But she quickly closed her turquoise
eyes to calm herself down.

‘I can’t blame him,’ she murmured in her mind. ‘It is the girl named Nicole who has seduced him. That’s why he treats me like this. It must be Nicole who taught him to be indifferent to me. There was a vicious look flashing in her eyes, and her hands slowly clenched into fists.’ When the robot competition is over, and I have time to deal with that girl, she will regret seducing the man I like.! 1.
Merry’s icy look just stayed for a fleeting second before she quickly walked toward the pile of raw material. Other people quickly gave way, leaving this lady of the Turmann family to pick her choice first.
The chromium element that Jared had sent over was extremely pure and had almost no defects. Merry looked at the things with satisfaction and asked the servants to carry the pile of materials she had selected to the workshop and start making her own robots.
The rest waited until she had gone far before they picked their choices. Carl finally arrived. He was fascinated watching Nicole modify the data for a while earlier. Now he saw the material and had only taken a part of it to the workshop.
He never put on airs like Merry did. The others followed him and had also chosen what they wanted. Elijah watched and felt pleased as everyone was hurrying to their workshops.
Vera hurriedly followed Carl, but Carl ignored her. The workshop that he had chosen soon closed automatically behind him, shutting Vera outside the door. She stomped her feet in anger, chose the workshop next door to Carl’s, and walked in.
Elijah watched the crowd dismiss before he heard footsteps coming from upstairs. He looked up and saw Nicole slowly walk downstairs.
