Nichole resorted to her usual tactics, lowering her head and sobbing quietly in feigned distress.


    The guys, already fond of the beautiful Nichole, quickly came to her defense, pleading on her behalf


    when they saw their crush in tears.


    This action, however, painted the professor as a harsh and unapproachable figure. Indeed, the


    professor’s expression grew even darker Nichole felt a pang of anxiety


    This time, her tactic didn’t soften the professor’s heart as it usually did, Instead, the professor said


    coldly, “You’re not focusing on your studies, but you sure know how to make friends, Nichole. You’re


    mally something.”


    Nichole quickly shook her head, “L”


    Just then, the bell rang, and the professor grabbed her books and left swiftly.


    Nichole had really upset the professor this time. Krystal tugged at Nichole’s arm and said, “Don’t worry


    about her, she’s just jealous. Clearly, she’s going through a midlife crisis.”


    “But did you hear? This moming, there was a scandalous photo pinned on the bulletin board,beling


    someone as a ‘sugar baby‘ and ‘nightclub girl, even iming she got her position through underhanded


    means. Guess who it was?” Tina said this with a mysterious


    Cunous, Krystal asked, “Who?”


    “It’s that girl who tried to steal Nichole’s boyfriend.”


    She looks so pretty, but turns out she’s selling herself, how disgusting” Krystal made a face of


    “Oh, her! I knew she was no good. S disdain.


    Tina added. “Exactly, she’s just trying totch onto some wealthy guy.”


    Pretending to be troubled, Nichole said, “Tina, Krystal, don’t talk about her like that. She’s just trying to


    make a living.”


    “You’re just tog kind! She’s a gold digger with no moralpass. We don’t have ss this afternoon.


    I’m thinking of following her to see what she does after ss. I could take some photos and pin them


    up on our school board too.”


    y guys at our school were after her. It’s time to expose her, let everyone see she’s not the good person


    she pretends to


    “Right. So many be”


    As Krystal and Tina chattered back and forth, Nichole grew increasingly worried. What if they caught


    Sophie going back to James‘ ce? That would be a disaster


    “Krystal! That’s not right. It’s illegal. Nichole quickly interjected


    Krystal replied nonchntly. “Whatw would that break? If that were illegal, paparazzi would all be in


    jail”


    Tina also said, “Nichole, don’t worry about it. We’re doing this for you. Just let us handle it. It won’t


    affect you.”


    “No!” Nichole’s voice suddenly rose an octave, causing both friends to pause and look at her puzzled.


    Afraid of giving herself away, Nichole quickly lowered her voice and said, “I mean, you’re doing this for


    me, so of course, I should go with you. I can’t let you do all the work on my behalf.”


    Hearing this, Krystal hugged Nichole tightly, “Nichole, you’re the best. I knew you’de with us.”


    Nichole couldn’t muster a smile, but if she didn’t apany Krystal and Tina to follow Sophie, and


    they found out, she would be in trouble.


    Later that afternoon, Krystal, Tina, and Nichole were having lunch in the cafeteria when Krystal spotted


    Sophie entering,


    As Sophie headed in their direction, Krystal scoffed, “Just our luck. We could even bump into her


    during lunch.”Content held by N?velDrama.Org.
