My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 1852

Nicole raised her eyebrows as she looked at the commotion on the stage. 'Zeke is being way too careless with his effort in keeping his identity a secret. His life will not be peaceful in the near future.'

Zeke's complexion became very pale as the host excitedly trotted over. As of now, Zeke was expressionless.

"It's no wonder Zeke here was so brilliant tonight! He's none other than one of the most well-known hackers in the international stage! This must be an easy competition for you, don't you think? Are you aiming to win first place?" The host bombarded him with compliments without missing a beat, while the other contestants sitting in the audience were demotivated by the sudden realization that Specter was in the competition.

Director Monroe, on the other hand, had a ubiquitous expression on her face. In spite of the fact that she knew how capable Zeke was, there was no way in which she could have foreseen that he was one of the greatest hackers.

'Come to think of it, both Ryder and Nicole were already prodigies, but they are still far from becoming professional hackers. From the looks of it, the loss Ryder had suffered last year was not a complete loss. This year, however...' Director Monroe sighed as she thought about the situation.

"It seems that we don't have much hope of winning the championships this year...," Director Monroe remarked with a look of helplessness of her face, as if she was ready to admit defeat.

Sitting just a few seats away was Mr. Hardy, who could not sit still as he was shouting, "Did you all see that!! That's my student right there!"

Mr. Hardy then proceeded to attract more attention. "My student is a hacking expert!!"

Nicole, meanwhile, was utterly revolted by the actions of Mr. Hardy. 'I can't believe Zeke has such a teacher leading his team.'

In a twist turn of events, Mr. Hardy clumsily stumbled onto Director Monroe's feet before scrambling onto the stage after he was done boasting about Zeke, just so that he could bask in the limelight as well.

"Sh*t!"

Mr. Hardy was too overwhelmed to stand up straight and fell sprawling onto the ground. His face became stained with dirt. It was just in the nick of time for the cameras to capture the moment.

A mere second later, the entire venue erupted into laughter.

"My goodness! How embarrassing!"

Director Monroe stared at Mr. Hardy with a look of innocence on her face. "Don't point fingers at me. It was obvious that you had tripped over my feet!"

Director Monroe was too caught up with her thoughts to have noticed a frantically scrambling Mr. Hardy, who had tripped over feet before he went on to spew his hogwash.

Mr. Hardy, on the other hand, strongly believed that Director Monroe had done it on purpose. Otherwise, she would not have embarrassed him in front of so many people.

"Point fingers? It's obvious that you have ill intentions here. A teacher with a morality like yours? How can you produce good students!?" he yelled.

The expression on the students of Royal Creek immediately became cold as they heard their teacher was being slandered.

This prompted Ryder to yell, "Mr. Hardy, don't you think it's a bit too much for you to talk to her like that?! Director Monroe is one of the best teachers in our school. We won't tolerate slanderous remarks like this."

Mr. Hardy saw how daring Ryder was, and that was when he stood up, pointed at the boy, and cursed. "You lost, so what right do you have to speak to me? First, it was the teacher without manners, and now, we have students without manners as well. How can a school like yours even think about winning the championship? Get lost!"
