“Did you hit Raine?”
“I didn’t.”
“Liar. It is obvious that you hit Raine. You are lying through your teeth.”
Daniel ignored Karen and looked at Raine. “Did Nicole hit you?”
Raine continued to sob as she dared not look up to meet Nicole’s eyes.
“What are you asking again? Here’s the injury on her arms.” Karen pulled up Raine’s sleeves and
showed it to them.
Raine’s arms were covered with scratches, which was apparently the doing of girls.
“Nicole, how do you explain the scratches on Raine’s arms?” Daniel looked at Nicole intently.
“These scratches happened when she was fighting with someone else. They don’t have anything to do
with me.”
“Fighting with someone else? You mean Raine fought with other students at school?” Daniel caught the
key point keenly. He understood it now. It seemed to him that the bruises on Raine’s arms were caused
by someone else.
“Raine, keep your head up. Why didn’t you just say you got into a fight with someone else?” Daniel
wanted to get an answer from Raine’s eyes.
Raine slowly looked up but avoided eye contact with Daniel. “I -I just forgot.”
Daniel could see at once that Raine was lying, and he felt relieved instantly. As long as Nicole did not
hit anyone, everything else would be easy.
“You forgot? It was Nicole who hit you.” Karen heard that something was wrong and hurriedly
interrupted Raine.
“You hurt Raine like this. If you sincerely apologize, I will let this slide. Otherwise, I will make you pay
back twice as much.” Karen threatened Nicole in front of Daniel and Gloria.
Without waiting for Daniel and Gloria to speak, Nicole said morosely, “I will not admit what I didn’t do. If
you want to threaten me, you’ll pay the price.”
Nicole’s words stabbed into Karen’s heart like an icy blade.
“Karen, there must be something that you have not understood clearly.” Daniel glanced at Karen.
“Fine. Since you will not apologize , don’t blame me for what is coming. Daniel, that’s the good
daughter you have here.”
“Raine, let’s go!” Karen did not expect that her attempt to denounce Nicole did not work. So she angrily
brought Raine to leave.
Daniel did not bother to stand up. “Maria, from now on, don’t let anyone from that family in.”
“Yes, sir.” Maria was too frightened to breathe.
“Nicole–”
“I have to go to class, so I’m leaving.” Nicole did not even give them a chance to explain and turned
around to leave. Daniel looked at Nicole and sighed as she went.
“Wait for me, Nicole.” Norah chased out.
Nicole got in the car, not bothering to look at Norah as she drove off. Norah stomped her foot in anger.
‘You escaped again. Nicole, you are really difficult to deal with.’
Chloe was relieved to see her new shoot come to an end. It was a waste of her time to be in this studio
all day and not see Jared at all.
“Kelly, make an appointment with Henry for me. Tell him I’m waiting for him at the Blue Whale
Restaurant.” Chloe told Kelly.
