Chapter 1662
Though Raine had finally summoned the courage to deny it, the truth had become clear when she stuttered.
Karen had learned about this incident on her way to Royal Creed, so she immediately stepped up to defend her
daughter. "Nicole, what do you mean? Are you going to trust the words from outsiders more than your own
cousin?"
'This damn girl, Nicole! Does she know the meaning of' blood is thicker than water'? Just look at her watching those
people uttering nonsense!'
Nicole shot Karen a piercing glare. "I was asking her, not you! N
Karen's heart froze, and she stood there, riveted to the ground for a moment. 'When did this brat develop such an
attitude?!'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was only then that Mr. Ellison realized that Nicole's intention was not to protect another member of the Riddle
family. According to his assessment, Raine was a bit of a shmuck, for out of everyone she could’ve picked on, she
had chosen to pick on Nicole. As such, she ought to know what Nicole was capable of if someone offended her, and
that she would not be merciful toward them, not even if they were her own blood relatives.
Mr. Ellison broke the tension with an awkward cough, and in an icy tone, he said, "Raine, you have to think clearly
about
this. I can get someone to investigate this matter and if everyone on the volleyball team points out that you’ve
done it, you won't be given a chance to repent for your wrongdoings!"
Raine totally did not expect that Mr. Ellison would side with Nicole. She began to feel a little hurt in her heart, but
then again, the people on the volleyball team were hers, so she had nothing to be afraid of.
"Do whatever you like. I'm not afraid of you!" Raine held her breath and attempted to defy them.
And as Nicole was not expecting Raine to come clean, she flashed her a cold smile. "Why is there still a need to ask
the people around us?"
Nicole's words immediately caught Mr. Ellison's attention, and he gave Nicole a glance. "There's no need for it?"
The parents in the room were confused as they did not understand why Mr. Ellison would look at Nicole in the eye.
Even Karen and Raine were confused, not knowing what to make of the energy in the room.
'In the past the Riddle family had to beg Mr. Ellison, and now, things have changed. He is now nothing but respectful
to Nicole. The Riddle family has never experienced this sort of treatment before!'
Nicole coldly glanced at the parents, and then at Raine, after which she said, "Those girls never had any grievances
or hostility with me. It's impossible for them to target me on purpose, and when I was playing yesterday, I made a
mistake and knocked Raine out, so it would make perfect sense that she wanted revenge."
Without warning, Nicole directly pointed the finger at herself without summoning any witnesses, causing Raine to

"Don't go around spewing nonsense!" Raine yelled.
Nicole coldly sneered. "Whether I am spewing hogwash or not, you know the truth deep down. Yesterday, I just
happened to look up and you were obviously there, yesterday!"
Raine, who was taken aback, stepped forward angrily," Impossible! When they dropped the flowerpot, I was
watching you from the classroom, you couldn't have seen me at all!"
As soon as these words exited her mouth, everyone in the office became silent. It was not long before the father of
one of the students came to his senses.
"Well, would you look at that? She admitted it! She was watching from the classroom!" he said.
"You ordered them to do it!"
In an instant, Raine became the target of the parents in the office. It was only then that she realized she had been
tricked by Nicole into exposing herself in front of everyone.
