Chapter 1177 Personal Grudge

As soon as Nicole's words fell, the crowd fell silent. Everyone was well aware of the grudge between Logan and

White, even if nobody mentioned it out loud. Now that Nicole had touched on this issue, their eyes immediately

swept toward Logan.

Meanwhile, Logan's face flushed red. His plan was originally to completely trample over Nicole's reputation, but he

hadn't expected Jennifer to show up all of a sudden. With her following Natasha to the hospital, she would definitely

be able to tell that Natasha was not pregnant at all and only showed those symptoms by taking medicine. Although

Natasha would bear the consequences alone, it would not stop rumors from spreading.

The corner of Logan's lips twitched as he replied mildly, "Of course not."

A trace of a smile emerged in Nicole's eyes as she stared at him and nodded, saying slowly, "Well, that makes

sense. As the person in charge of the science academy, surely you won't do something so shameful, Mr. Yael."

Upon saying that, Nicole lowered her head in thought. Then, as if recalling something all of a sudden, she changed

the topic and said with a smile, "However, with the way you straight up accused me without doing any sort of

investigation earlier, I nearly thought that you had planned everything and were just waiting for me to fall into your

trap."

Logan's hand slowly clenched into a fist by his side. Nicole had a sharp tongue and had a way with her words—

although she claimed to believe him on the surface, her words clearly pointed out his wrongdoings.

He breathed in deeply and forcefully mustered a lopsided smile on his lips. It was a long time before he replied

hoarsely, "When I saw the state Natasha was in, I didn't think that she would give up her body just to frame

someone. If you misunderstood, I can apologize to you."

Nicole rolled her eyes and swept a glance at the reporters behind her before she smiled at him courteously. "No,

not at all. I wouldn't dare to misunderstand. You're an influential figure, Mr. Yael, and I believe that something like

this would never happen in the science academy. This incident only happened due to Natasha's personal grudges."

Nicole slowly moved her gaze back to Logan and continued, "However, since you had a grudge against my master

in the past, Mr. Yael, as Doctor White's protege, I'm afraid that people would misunderstand if something happens

to me in the science academy. They might think that you won't let me in because of your personal grudges, don't

you think?"

As there were a large number of people present, her words had practically told everyone that if something

happened to her in the science academy, it would surely be the Yael Family's doing without any doubt.

Naturally, Logan understood what she was implying. His hands turned white as he clenched his walking cane and his

face twisted with anger, but he was unable to refute her claims, and that in itself was practically torture.

However, he could not afford to lose his temper and shoot himself in the foot with so many reporters at the scene.

Hence, he could only force a smile on his face and grit out, "I'm a little tired. The ceremony is about to begin, so I'll

take my leave for now."

At that, he left with Ryan's help.

As Nicole watched their retreating backs, her expression still remained taut. Although Ryan had remained silent

throughout the entire incident, he never took his eyes off her, and his eerie red eyes gleamed with an uncanny light

as if he were contemplating something. While she could still handle Logan, Ryan was a wild card.

If it was purely about the field of medicine, she had to hand it to him. Although his age was not far from hers, he

managed to discover a way to raise voodoo bugs and even sustained many of his own. Hence, it was an undeniable

fact that he was extremely skilled in this area.

After staring at them for a moment, she turned around and headed to the library. If it hadn't been for Natasha's

interference, she would've entered the library much earlier. Fortunately, nothing bad came out of the incident.
