Vivian was dumbfounded. “Gary, how could you say that?”
Gary looked at her with disappointment. “What else do you expect me to say? People like you don’t
deserve to be the class monitor.”
“You,” Vivian’s eyes immediately reddened as Gary had never said such a harsh word to her before.
But today, he said such a raucous thing to her just because of Nicole. Feeling wronged and fearful,
Vivian could no longer stay at the scene.
“Gary, I hate you.” With that, she turned and ran away. But no one gave a damn to her.
June gritted her teeth. “She is horrible.”
“Absolutely. We can’t let such a person be the class monitor again.” Bradley echoed.
“Come on. Let’s go.” Nicole wasted no time leading everyone straight away from backstage, leaving the
other students gossiping among themselves.
As they arrived backstage, they found Raine had just come off the stage.
Raine saw Nicole and Gary, her eyes filled with jealousy. She decided to shoulder-check Nicole.
But Nicole saw it coming and avoided her in time.
Raine was wearing high heels. She missed her target and lost her balance, ending up throwing herself
straight forward. Raine screamed and then fell straight down to the ground, completely stunning
everyone else.
“Oh, my God. Raine, are you alright?” Several of Raine’s classmates gathered around her and helped
her up.
Raine’s jaw was dirty. After she was lifted, she stared at Nicole with hatred. “You did this on purpose.”
Nicole sneered. “What have I done? Shouldn’t I dodge when you shoulder-checked me?”
Everyone instantly understood what was going on.
Lulu could not help but echo. “You were trying to shoulder-check Nicole. Now you deserve it.”
“Hoist by your own petard. That’s a shame. Leave now, and don’t embarrass yourself here.” Bradley
taunted her.
Raine felt humiliated and could only grit her teeth and stare at Nicole. “I’m done with you yet. You’d
better watch out.”
Since the battle lines were drawn, Nicole was ready to face her threat head-on. She smiled. “Good, I
will be waiting.”
Nicole then went toward the waiting area backstage while Raine was helped off the stage.
Jack and the others were euphoric, watching Raine flee with her tail between her legs.
“You’re awesome, Nicole,” They praised.
‘Nicole is neither afraid of Vivian nor Raine!
Nicole glanced at Jack. “It doesn’t matter. You better butter your boss up instead.”
Cold-shouldered, but Jack did not resent it. Instead, it was Gary who tugged at his collar. He somehow
thought it glaring to see Jack and Nicole together.
Soon, the twelfth-grade classes had finished their performance, and ahead of them was Norah’s class.
Norah and her partner seemed to have reconciled, and the two were making the most of the time to do
a read through
As Norah saw Nicole coming, her face darkened again. She felt that had Nicole not stolen her place in
the Riddle family, she would not have to grovel before someone to apologize.
But Nicole ignored her hatred, and there was nothing Norah could do about her.
But she quickly calmed herself down, to Nicole’s surprise. But Nicole knew Norah had always been
good at controlling her emotion, so she did not care.
