Chapter 960 “Mr. and Mrs. Riddle are having breakfast inside.” Maria, the maid, could tell that Karen was anything
but friendly and did not dare to stop her as Karen brought Raine inside.
“Maria, who‘s here?“Gloria asked.
The next second, Karen and Raine appeared in the dining room.
“Karen, Raine? What brings you here? Have you had your breakfast?” Gloria looked at the two in surprise. “No, I‘m
so pissed.” Karen was disgruntled and said sarcastically.
Daniel and Gloria looked at each other as they could not figure out what Karen was up to.
“Then sit down and join us. Maria—”
“That won‘t be necessary. You guys eat quickly, as I have something to talk to you two,” Karen said as she brought
Raine to the couch.
Looking at Karen‘s reaction, Daniel and Gloria were in no mood to eat by now. So they put down their cutlery and

“Karen, you came over early in the morning. Just tell me
what it is about.” Gloria looked at Karen.
“Where is Nicole? Tell her to come downstairs.” Karen commanded with a peeved face.
“Nicole is not in. Talk to me if there is anything.” Gloria studied Karen and Raine.
“Not in? Where did she go? Is she afraid I will come after her, and so she has gone into hiding ?” Karen looked at
Gloria. “Call her and tell her to come back immediately.”
The more Daniel listened, the more confused he got.” Come after her, for what?”
“For what? She beat Raine up. This is what I‘m here for.” Karen looked at Daniel with an angry face. “Nicole beat
Raine up?” Daniel and Gloria looked over at Raine.
“What‘s going on, Raine?” Gloria asked.
Upstairs, Norah heard someone talking loudly downstairs . So she came downstairs and saw Karen and Raine. She
smirked and then walked over as if she knew nothing “Auntie Karen, what brings you here so early?” Norah walked
over and greeted her. Karen glanced at Norah and ignored her. When Norah saw Karen was ignoring her, she came
to sit next to Gloria and asked in a whisper, “What‘s going on, Mom?”
“They said that Nicole beat Raine up.” Gloria still did not believe Nicole would hit someone to this day.
“Raine, are you okay?” Norah made an expression of surprise.
Raine gave Norah a look and cried even harder.
“Don‘t be afraid to tell them exactly how Nicole beat you up.” Karen backed Raine up.
Raine sobbed and told the story of how Nicole had bullied her, exaggerating things from beginning to end.
After listening to what Raine said, Gloria felt her blood pressure spike and put her hand to her forehead. When
Daniel saw this, he quickly asked with concern, “What‘s wrong? Are you feeling dizzy?”
Norah held Gloria up. “Mom, I will get you a glass of water.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGloria waved her hand, calmed down a bit, and then looked at Raine. “Is what you said true? I have never heard of
Nicole bullying her classmates at school, not to mention you are her cousin.” Gloria could not believe what Raine
was saying, as she knew Nicole‘s character well.
“What do you mean? Are you saying that we are here early in the morning to pick a fight?” Pissed, Karen fired a
shot at Gloria.
“I didn‘t mean that. It is just that I know Nicole‘s character; he is not likely to hit anyone, much less bully Raine,”
Gloria said in Nicole‘s defense.
“You don‘t have to defend her. Just get her back here. I want to ask her face to face.” Karen told Gloria sternly.
“Mom, let’s not refute in a hurry. Let‘s first appease Auntie Karen. After all, we don‘t know much about what Nicole
is doing outside.” Norah was feeding the line that Nicole was probably bad to Gloria.
