Chapter 63
As he spoke, everyone went from laughing at Nicole to speaking out for Gary. Raine felt vindicated to
hear these words. The indignation and jealousy she had harbored for the past few days because of
Nicole had finally found a venting outlet. This made her feel much better.
Listening to others praising her and Gary, Raine turned to Gary and boldly asked, “They all say we are a
good match. What do you think?”
However, Gary was still looking in Nicole’s direction. When he heard that Nicole had scored a zero mark,
the first thought that came to mind was, ‘I knew it.’ But then he was in mixed feelings, worrying that
Nicole’s feelings would get affected.
‘Since when have I become so concerned about what Nicole thought? Apparently, I have always been
right about her. Not only did I offer to help her with tuition, but I also admonished her. I had never treated
others like this.’ Gary did not mind when Nicole rejected his kindness. But what upset him was that she
gave him the cold shoulder.
Raine, who was bending her blushing face, thought Gary was angry when he ignored her. So she
glanced up and tried to explain nervously, “Gary, I mean nothing else.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHalfway through, she noticed Gary was not even looking at her but in Nicole’s direction, as if he had not
heard her words. Anger instantly rose within Raine. She stared at Nicole coldly. How she wished she
could slice Nicole up and chop her into pieces.
Nicole got up and took her answer sheet back nonchalantly.
Mr. Louis looked at her unflustered face and said softly, “Don’t give up. Your ideas are good. Just that
you didn’t complete each answer. I believe you will win the gold medal in the next Maths Olympiad
competition if you work harder.”
Nicole looked at Mr. Louis with surprise upon hearing that. He was smiling at her without the slightest
hint of impatience. Instead, his eyes spoke of encouragement. So she bowed her head and said, “I know.
Thank you, Mr. Louis.” Whispers did not stop even until Nicole returned to her seat and sat down. So Mr.
Louis smacked the lectern and shouted, “Be quiet! Let’s start by reviewing questions.” The lesson
passed Just like this. Nicole packed her things and was about to leave when Gary shook off Raine’s
hand and chased after Nicole.
Nicole walked slowly and soon saw him standing in front of her.
Gary frowned and felt angry when Nicole had no expression on her face when facing him.” Your
Improper conduct is one thing, but lying is another. Didn’t you say the Maths Olympiad was easy? So
why did you get a zero mark on this test?”
Nicole shot him a cold glance, wanting to leave without saying a word to him
Gary continued to speak from behind her back, “Everyone says you are going to bog me down. Nicole,
please prove that they are wrong, and don’t let us be so humiliated. I’ll ignore the lie
you told last time and tutor you in maths. But you must promise me not to have any more contact with
those boys.” Nicole turned back. She casually tugged at the cuffs and lazily carried the bag behind her.
After looking at Gary with a strange expression for two seconds, she suddenly smiled. At that moment,
her beauty was indescribable. She was as beautiful as spring sunshine. Gary was stunned a little. He
closed his mouth even though he had not done speaking. Nicole had never smiled at him before; this
was the first time. He had seen countless pretty girls since he was still a child, and this was the first time
he was so amazed that he was at a loss for words.
Nicole’s smile soon faded from her face. Instead, a look of indifference appeared in her eyes as she
looked at Gary, who was frozen in place like a statue. She stood there with an expression as cold as
winter, but her face was as beautiful as summer. “Gary, I will say it again: mind your own business,” said
Nicole faintly before leaving, giving Gary no time to react. Gary was rooted to the spot. It was the second
time he had been rejected. Nicole’s attitude toward Austin was even better than toward him. ‘What I was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtrying to do was for your good,’ thought Gary as he looked at Nicole from behind and clenched his fists
as she left. Nicole did not care what Gary was thinking. She went to the café as usual and sat there for a
while before returning to the dormitory. In her dormitory, she sat down at the desk and prepared to read a
book for some time. Lulu had just finished answering the Maths Olympiad questions. After thinking for a
while, she turned on her computer and logged in to the school’s online forum. The heated discussion
was still taking place on the forum – Ashley had been kicked out of the Holmes family and expelled from
the school; it was a disastrous ending for Ashley. Today’s second hottest post actually had something to
do with Nicole. Someone had posted news of Nicole scoring a zero mark for the Maths Olympiad online,
and many people were mocking her. “I told you so. Nicole is from the countryside, and her grades are
terrible. She is not comparable to Snow and Raine.” “I agree. But I heard that she and Gary are in the
same class. How can there be such a huge gap between them? We are talking about 94 versus zero. I
don’t know how she still has the nerve to stay in the Maths Olympiad training class. She is embarrassing
Gary.” “Absolutely. I saw Gary catch up with Nicole after school and talk to her, offering to give her tuition.
But Nicole just spun around and left, not giving a second glance at Gary.” “That is too much. Nicole
should not have offended Gary, even with Austin’s protection.”
