Spencer still insisted on keeping things to himself. Just as he was about to say something, he held himself back. He hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "It's Icyln. She said that she has feelings for me, but I've rejected her."Spencer did not expect Icyln to pretend as if nothing had happened even after his rejection. She still called him on the phone as usual. In fact, her calls were getting more and more frequent.Nicole narrowed her gaze and questioned, "Spencer, do you really want Icyln to stay at San Joto?""Uh... I actually don't want her here." However, it was not up to Spencer to decide whether she could stay or leave.Initially, he was fine with taking care of Icyln upon his teacher's request. Now that he understood Icyln's intentions, he would not want Icyln to stay. Or else, she might create more trouble in the future."That's good." Nicole seemed satisfied."What?" Spencer asked in confusion. He did not understand what Nicole meant.After giving it some t
June smirked. "I dare you not to eat anything later.""You haven't even entered the family, and you're already safeguarding Samuel's wallet!""Don't forget, we're both entering the same family. The Riddle family."As the two girls joked around, they did not seem to be that hungry anymore. The time seemed to pass by really slowly as well.After a while, dinner was served. Just as they were about to dig in, a shadow appeared beside their table. In fact, the shadow covered the entire table.Nicole frowned and looked up. Seeing that it was Harvey, her eyes darkened."What a coincidence! You're having dinner here as well." Harvey smiled."I don't think so." Nicole's eyes were cold and distant."Exactly. Don't you see that there's a lot of us here? Nicole isn't alone," Lulu said fiercely.Harvey glanced at Lulu angrily. Then, he softened his gaze as he turned to look at Nicole. His voice was also gentler as he said, "I'm not eating either. I'll join you.""No way," their voices sou
After finishing their dinner, Nicole and the others walked out of the restaurant."Nicole, come with me. I'll go home with you after dropping June off.""You can come with us too if you want."Just as Samuel spoke, Lulu's voice rang out too. However, both of them stopped talking as soon as they saw Jared.Nicole was a little surprised by Jared's unexpected appearance. "Why are you here?""To pick you up," Jared said. He wrapped his arm around Nicole's skinny waist and led her toward his car.June and Lulu exchanged glances after watching the two of them leave. They could not help but say, "Well, I guess we don't have to worry about her anymore.""Let's go."Knowing that Nicole was going to leave with Jared, everyone stopped worrying about her. Then, Samuel and Spencer left with June and Lulu respectively.In the car, Nicole leaned on the seat and smiled faintly. "Actually, I could've gone home myself.""What's wrong with me picking you up?" Jared asked her back."It feels...
Nicole did not even have breakfast and headed straight to the office.She grabbed some coffee and a small pastry on her way there and entered her office while carrying the bag."What took you so long? You came to work so late, and you haven't even had breakfast." Lulu pushed the door open and peeked in with a teasing smile.Nicole shot her a glance. "It seems like Spencer didn't come home last night."Lulu's face immediately turned red as she said shyly, "I sprained my ankle on my way home last night, so he didn't want to leave me alone and stayed with me.""Sure." Nicole shrugged as if it was none of her business.Lulu felt her cheeks getting warmer as she continued to explain, "Trust me! Have a look at it yourself."She entered the room as she spoke. She showed Nicole that she indeed could not walk properly.Nicole could not help but laugh. "Why do you want to explain it to me so badly? At this point, it's perfectly normal for Spencer not to come home.""But that's not the c
They did their work respectively and it was already lunchtime before they realized it.After having lunch, the head of the Legal Department returned as Nicole and Lulu were taking a break from work."Ms. Riddle, it's been taken care of." Lester Jensen heaved a sigh of relief."Good." Nicole seemed satisfied. "Thank you so much. We'll leave the rest to Ms. Wyatt.""I'll let her know about it," Lester said, nodding.Nicole paused momentarily before saying, "That'll do too."She had initially planned for her secretary to convey the message but having Lester do it would be fine too."I'll take my leave then." Jensen turned around and left after not receiving any more orders. His mission was completed, and it was up to the Public Relations Department. He believed that Ms. Wyatt would handle it very well."What did Mr. Jensen take care of?" Lulu asked curiously. She knew that it must be related to her."Snow's assistant contacted the siblings again. She wanted the sister to pretend
In an instant, Snow became the most despised person in San Joto.Snow, who had yet to receive the news, was rummaging through her wardrobe to find a beautiful dress. She wanted to go to the hotel and pay her teacher a visit after knowing that Spencer had gone there."Ms. Riddle, something's gone wrong!" Her assistant rushed in with a pale face."Why are you shouting? What's wrong?" Snow said in a somewhat displeased tone.Her assistant approached her and took a moment to catch her breath before saying, "The siblings betrayed us and told the police everything. It's all over the internet now. What should we do?""What did you say?" Snow's voice grew sharp and her hand trembled. The dress she had just picked fell to the floor.However, Snow could not be bothered by the dress anymore. Her mind was in chaos, and she had no idea what to do next.Suddenly, her phone rang. She was startled and her face became even paler.She saw that it was her teacher calling. She bit her lip and her
The teacher sounded a little nervous. "What is it?"Spencer turned to look at Snow and said in a deep voice, "Make her leave San Joto and never come back."Nicole had already sent him a message before he came. She told him to answer this way if the teacher asked. Punishing Snow would not mean much to them, so it was better to make her leave. She would never be able to do any harm again.Besides, getting Snow to leave San Joto for good was probably the worst punishment to her, without costing them anything.Snow completely broke down after hearing what Spencer said. She could not help but scream, "No, I don't want to leave! Spencer, please don't do this to me! I want to stay!"They wanted her to leave San Joto forever and it would mean that she would never see Spencer again.No, she did not want that. She knew she was wrong, but she did not want to leave. She wanted to be with him."Would you prefer prison then?" the teacher said to Snow in a stern tone, his eyes filled with ange
"The teacher was even quicker. Snow should be on her way to the airport by now." Spencer shrugged. Of course, he came back right after doing what he had to."Are you sure?" Lulu exclaimed in surprise. Then, she scrutinized Spencer and furrowed her brows. "It looks like your teacher really likes Snow at a lot."Otherwise, he would not have been in such a hurry to send her away, fearing that they might change their minds.Spencer chuckled. "Not exactly. He's probably just worried that if he keeps Snow here, there might be more problems."They did not understand Snow, but the teacher knew her very well and had probably guessed that she would not give up so easily."Why did she agree to leave?" Lulu asked curiously."Her assistant was hired by the teacher," Spencer explained."I see." Lulu looked like she immediately understood everything. 'No wonder the assistant's willing to keep up with a person like her.'"We got what we wanted now that Snow has already left. We have nothing to
