After he was done speaking, Mr. Riddle Sr. did not bother about Norah anymore and left with Nicole instantly.

When Nicole turned around, she swept her cold gaze across Norah, mocking her for not knowing her place.

Norah was so angry that her eyes turned red that even Samuel thought she was going to cry with disappointment.

"Norah... We will leave with you in a while. Don't cry..." Samuel tried to console her as he sensed that she was upset.

Norah immediately bawled in response, "It's okay... You already have Nicole. Everyone can just pay attention to her. I'll be fine; I can go to school by myself."

She then took her bag and left with tears of disappointment in her eyes.

"Norah..." Gloria saw that Norah had not even taken her breakfast, so she wanted to run after Norah.

But Daniel pulled her back. "Just let her be. She has to accept reality sooner or later."

Though Daniel, too, c

Nicole watched as Mr. Kennedy shrieked like a butchered animal and said coldly, "Sorry, I didn't see you walking here."

"You didn't see me? Where are your eyes?" Mr. Kennedy yelled out of embarrassment, looking like he wanted to eat her alive.

Nicole smiled instantly. Though it was just a faint smile, it was radiant. "What else could it be? Do I have to give you presents, Mr. Kennedy?"

"What?" Mr. Kennedy was stunned as he had no idea what Nicole was talking about.

"Mr. Kennedy, you were so angry just now. Shouldn't I give you presents as a token of apology?" Nicole's words made the people around them think of Ms. Emerson, whom Mr. Kennedy had just scolded.

Everyone knew how the Director of the Department always had Ms. Emerson's back against the wall, so she probably had no choice but to give the director presents.

Then, all of them started to look at Ms. Emerson with sympathy.

Samuel was stunned. "Isn’t our home cozy? I would’ve gone home if it hadn't been because we stayed up too late revising."

"Exactly. There is no way our dorm is better than our home." Spencer objected right away.

"But my exam is just around the corner. If I stay there, I can concentrate on my studies like Stanley." Nicole used her exam as an excuse just to stay on campus.

Upon hearing Nicole's words, Norah scoffed in her mind. 'No wonder this country bumpkin wants to stay on campus; she’s worried about her academic performance.'

Gloria knew that Nicole was ambitious and hardworking, but she was reluctant to let Nicole go. "Nicole, you're only in your junior year. You can stay on campus when you are in your senior year. Don’t be too hard on yourself.”

Nicole had to give Gloria a reassuring smile when she noticed Gloria’s worried expression. "I know, Mom. But my teacher attaches great
