Rowan was a little disappointed to see that Nicole did not need his help. “I will go then if you really
don‘t need help.
Nicole nodded.
Rowan gave the men in black a look, and they gave way to Raine and his classmates, who ran out of
the café with their tails between their legs.
Watching Raine flee, Rowan taunted, “What a brat, trying to bite off more than she can chew!”
Nicole watched Rowan leave, and then she went back to school.
Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked it up; it was Samuel.
“Tomorrow is Mom‘s birthday. What gift are you going to buy for her, Nicole?”
Samuel and Spencer had gone to look for Nicole in her classroom, but she was not there.
“I haven‘t thought about it yet. What do you think?” Nicole had been tied up in trivial matters for the past
few days and had not had time to select gifts.
“We‘re also thinking about it. We are going to go to the mall later. Do you want to join us?” Samuel
asked.
Nicole thought for a moment, and she agreed.
“Then we will see you after school.” Samuel hung up the phone.
Nicole went straight back to the dormitory and took out her computer to search for White‘s information.
‘Since White is a member of The Hunters , his personal information must be in The Hunters‘ database
.‘ Nicole came up with a bold idea with this thought in mind. She was prepared to hack into The
Hunters‘ database.
Her fingers flew over the keyboard as she started to hack into The Hunters‘ database. But it was not as
easy as expected. The Hunters‘s firewall was designed by top hackers with layers of protection, not
something that ordinary people could break into. After several times of unsuccessful attempts, she
started to think. As time went by, Nicole still failed to hack into the system after repeated attempts and
adjustments. She was in a difficult situation.
Looking at the time, she realized she should go to meet with Samuel and Spencer. So she packed up
and went out.
Samuel and Spencer had been waiting for her at the school gate. “Over here, Nicole.” Spencer waved
at her.
Nicole walked over. “Have you thought about what gift to buy?”
“I will buy Mom a handbag. The one Mom is carrying now is outdated.” Samuel said happily. “What
about you, Spencer?”
“Doesn‘t Mom like piano very much? The one at home is old. I‘m thinking of giving her a new one.”
“You‘re indeed a musical instrument freak. The gifts you choose are also different.” Samuel teased him.
“What gift would you buy for Mom, Nicole ?” They now looked at her.
“You‘ll know in a moment.” Nicole kept them in suspense.
The three of them happily drove toward the mall.
At the mall, they first accompanied Samuel to buy the designer bag he had seen before and then went
with Spencer to the piano shop. “Mr. Riddle, inside, please.” The service staff of the piano shop was
hospitable. “Did the piano I ordered arrive?” Spencer asked the service staff.
“It has arrived.”
“You two come with me to see it.” Spencer loved the piano.
The service staff led the three of them to the innermost part of the piano shop. “Mr. Riddle , this is your
custom piano.”
“Wow, custom piano?” Samuel looked at the eye-catching piano and stepped forward to admire it.
“Don‘t touch it. This is custom–made for Mom. No one else is allowed to touch it.” Spencer smacked
away Samuel‘s hand that was about to touch the piano.
