Chapter 160
The next morning, Nicole got up early for her morning training routine and found that Harvey was not there. His absence did not bother her. She had made it clear to him yesterday, so it was normal for him to stop approaching her.
Nicole went to class nonchalantly. Due to some reasons, everyone in Class B today looked at her with weird looks.
Nicole ignored their gazes. Wayne whispered, “Nicole, how did you make Cain yield to you like that?”
‘Forget about Austin. Even the notorious Cain from the Northon Institute treats Nicole that way?!’
Not only did Cain have a decent family background, but he was also Celia Rowe’s boyfriend. Most people feared him for his notoriety. He did not bother to give face almost to anyone except Gary.
Nobody had seen Cain grovel like that. | Nicole glanced at Wayne. She did not feel hostile toward him. “Perhaps he’s afraid of getting beaten again,” said Nicole flatly.
Only then did Wayne recall how Nicole had defeated a dozen thugs on her own. He flinched at the thought of that and stopped talking.
Gary, at the row behind, squeezed the pen in his hand, frowning at Nicole’s back. He had beaten Cain countless times, but it was never enough to stop Cain, who had no shame. Therefore, Gary was not convinced when Nicole had claimed that all it took was giving Cain a beating to make him submissive. He felt that there must be some other reason. Nicole leaned against her chair’s back, spinning her pen. No one knew what was on her mind. Seeing that Gary’s attention was on Nicole again, Vivian broke the ruler in her hand. Her eyes were glum, and her pretty face was a little contorted with anger when she looked at Nicole. As if she had finally made up her mind on something, she suddenly threw the ruler in her hand away and left the classroom.
She put down the assignment she was reviewing and said, “Vivian, I’ve always been lenient to students who perform well academically like you, but I can’t tolerate you slandering your classmates.
“You mentioned that Nicole has affected others in their study. But I think she has a very good learning attitude. She even asked for new exercises a few days ago.
“You should calm down. Stop minding about what others have said. If you get swayed that easily, you should be responsible for your own exam results.” Although Ms. Emerson’s tone was gentle, her words were imposing.
