Raine sneered, “What did you say?” Seeing her reckless look, Nicole did not have the urge to repeat
herself again, “I asked you to pick it up.
Do you understand English?” Raine looked at her cold eyes and felt a sudden sense of inferiority toward
Nicole.
However, it quickly turned into anger after hearing Nicole’s response, “How dare you ask if I understand
your English! As expected, village people are uncivilized!”
As Raine was speaking out of rage, she did not control her volume.
All the surrounding people started to look at them.
Nicole noticed June was walking back toward them with her food.
She irresistibly frowned.
Even though she did not know Raine personally, she was not pleased with her rude attitude toward
Nicole.
“If I’m uncivilized just by saying that, then what about you? You threw away other people’s food and
mocked those who dine at the canteen as lower class.
Is that how a civilized person is?
Nicole’s words were strong, and everyone else heard them clearly.
Such derogating words bothered everyone else, and they all stared at Raine angrily.
“Isn’t that Raine? Those words actually came out of her mouth? Who does she take us for? I’m
embarrassed to say that I used to admire her!”
“Yeah, she threw people’s bags to the floor and took up the seat not for sitting.
It’s clear who’s the uncivilized one here!”
“I’ve always hated Nicole, but this time around, it really is Raine’s fault.
I saw her throwing the bag with my own eyes.
How can such a person be the campus queen for the senior department? Was it just because her sister
was the campus queen of the tertiary department? It really is such a bummer.” Raine heard everyone’s
comments and panicked.
She did not expect things to turn into such a mess.
She just wanted to warn Nicole when she saw her sitting there.
It really was not her plan for things to turn out this way! “You! Nicole! You better be careful!” Everyone
around always looked at her with admiration and envy.
She never had to experience such situations where her whole body was flushing.
She did not even dare to lift her face.
It was all Nicole’s fault! Raine spat out such harsh words and left in a hurry. But Nicole pulled one of her
sleeves to stop her.
Raine was a lot shorter than Nicole by half a head.
So, it was easy for Nicole to stop her.
“You threw people’s things to the ground and have no intention to pick them up before leaving? Is that
how the Riddles taught you? I guess I’ll have to go back and ask grandpa about this.” Raine was
extremely frightened by those words.
Grandpa really hated it when the family members did not behave in public and tarnished the family’s
name.
If Nicole really told him, Raine would not have the easy way out. Raine gritted her teeth, bent down, and
picked up June’s bag with two fingers.
Then she threw it back on the seat.
Immediately after, she shook her hands as if she had touched something dirty.
She seemed disgusted about the bag as if one touch would cost her life.
Then, she looked at Nicole and asked through those gritted teeth, “I can leave now, right?” Nicole noticed
that June’s bag was swung open, and everything scattered to the ground.
Her under-eye twitched a little. At this moment, June was already back.
She was shocked upon seeing the state of her backpack Once Nicole noticed, she grabbed Raine and
turned her around to face June.
She said in a cold voice, “Apologize to her.” Raine was a little dizzy from the turning.
After she looked closely and saw that it was the girl who came in with Nicole, her face was filled with
disdain, “So that rubbish bad belongs to a bumpkin like you.
Why should I apologize to a bumpkin?” Upon hearing this, June’s grip tightened as she was holding her
plate.
Then, she placed her plate steadily on the table.
As she was buying a meal for Nicole, she had chosen the best dishes available in the canteen.
She did not want to spill any of it. After that, she looked down and picked up everything that was on the
ground.
The whole process was filled with silence. Seeing this, Nicole let go of Raine’s hands and turned around
to look at June in silence. As soon as Raine’s hands were free, she wanted to run away.
But June had already picked up her belongings.
She called her out, “Raine.” Raine wanted to pretend that she did not hear it, but all eyes were on her.
So, she could only stand still June did not care if she was only looking at her backside.
She continued, “I know you’ve always looked down on people like me who have no money or power.
But frankly speaking, I also look down on people like you who have money and power but no morals.
It’s fine if you don’t apologize; I don’t need your apology.
But remember this: I am June, the one who rejected your apology.” Hearing this, Raine turned around
and stared at June in disbelief.
But all she received from June was a calm reply, “You may leave now.” Raine wanted to talk back, but all
the gazes shooting at her were not kind.
It was as if everyone were despising her.
Therefore, she held back that her facial expression was getting uglier. It was at this moment that she
regained a sense of consciousness.
She was already very embarrassed that day; she could not afford to say anything else that would harm
her reputation. ‘This Nicole, even her poor and dirty friends, are so annoying!’
