But Scott did not give up.
"Nicole, it might be nothing big deal to you, but for me, youare the person who saved my father's life.I
have no way to repay you but thank you in person.Give me a call later, and I will send someone to pick
you and your family up.” Nicole glanced back at her parents, who had the desire to go written all over
their faces, and since Scott was so sincere and insistent, she agreed.
After Nicole hung up the phone , Damien and the other two families became embarrassed by what they
had said earlier.They felt like they had just got slapped in the face.
“Nicole, when did you save Mr.Harmon’s life?” Damien asked curiously.
“Yeah.Why haven't I heard you say that before?" Karen questioned.
“I have just performed an operation on Mr.Harmon’s father at the hospital,” Nicole said nonchalantly.
"You know how to operate?" Everyone could not help but be surprised
“Why so surprised?” Nicole did not want to talk about it and was ready to go upstairs to rest when
Karen suddenly pulled her to one side.
“Nicole, will you bring anyone else to Mr.Harmon's house this time?" Miley unashamedly tried to butter
up to Nicole.
“No,” Nicole said indifferently.
Karen said, “Don’t be naïve, Miley.An outsider won't think for us."
Miley sighed in disappointment.
"Didn't you guys always treat me like an outsider before? And now I do the same, and you guys aren’t
happy about it.” Nicole said bluntly,her cold eyes sweeping over their faces.
Everyone could not find a word to respond, and they all did not dare to look at her, as they all had a
guilty conscience.
Damien, who could not stand the atmosphere unpleasant to him, got to his feet and left without saying
a word.
The other two families also left in tandem.
Raine was pissed at seeing Nicole's arrogant attitude." How can you talk to your uncles and aunts like
that? You have such bad manners.”
“Doall people with good manners talk like you do?" Nicole looked at
Raine with piercing eyes as if she would break Raine's throat if Raine dared to say one more
disrespectful word.
Snow saw things not right and hurriedly dragged Raine away.
After the three families left, silence returned to the house, and Nicole went straight upstairs to rest.She
would have fallen asleep had those people not come disturbing her.
Gloria followed Nicole to her room, sat in a chair, and asked with concern, “What else is going on with
you we don’t know about?” "Nothing.I really didn't take this matter to heart and tell you guys about it.I
didn’t know Mr.Harmon would care that much.” Gloria believed her.
She stroked Nicole's hand and said with concern, "Whatever happens next time, be sure to tell us.We
are family." Nicole looked at Gloria, feeling emotional with a lump in her throat.While they were talking,
Gloria received a phone call.She glanced at Nicole and left in a hurry.Nicole felt that Gloria's expression
was odd, but she went to sleep without giving it a second thought.The next day after school, Jared
picked Nicole up in front of her school.
“You’re really on the dot.” Nicole teased him.
“I have to.Otherwise, I would be in trouble with all the boys swarming around you like bees.”
“Let’s go.Back to the Riddle Mansion." Last time, Gloria had mentioned she had not seen Jared in a
long time and wanted Nicole to take him home for a casual dinner.
Today, Nicole found out that Jared could take time out of his busy schedule, so she asked him out.
As the car sped down the road, Jared glanced at Nicole.
” How have you been lately?”
“Pretty good.Eating well, sleeping well." Nicole said, not picking up on Jared’s undertone.
“What about you?” Nicole looked over at him.
