My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 19

“So badass!” Bradley was startled for a moment before muttering in amazement.

Lulu could not help but nod in agreement. “Badass indeed.”

“Let’s go.” Nicole glared disdainfully at Austin and then smiled evilly as she left.

It was a mocking smile, but it was also beautiful.

Everyone in the cafeteria watched in a daze as she left.

Spencer patted Samuel, who had not come out of his awe, and said, “It looks like our sister doesn’t

need us to worry about her.”

In the afternoon, the school’s forum went ape, saying that the new student performed an over-the-

shoulder move and threw the school bully to the ground the first day in the cafeteria. Some people who

hated Austin commented and praised her anonymously.

Some people think she was in trouble, thinking she would be expelled tomorrow. But Nicole could not

care less and continued to copy the assignment from others.

“Throwing Austin with an over-the-shoulder move? No wonder she said she didn’t need Gary’s

protection.” Wayne looked at her from behind, almost wanting to whistle at her.

“She must know martial arts, but she seems to be mediocre in terms of studies.” Jack shook his head

and felt sorry. Only a few of them in the class copied the works of others, not expecting that Nicole was

also doing so, copying Lulu’s assignment. This showed how bad she was in her studies.

Gary did not even look up but continued to fiddle with his phone.

At the end of the class, Bradley suddenly got up and came up to Nicole, looking worried. “It is not good,

Nicole. Austin has woken up and uploaded a post threatening to get the school to expel you.”

Nicole looked up coldly. “Does he really think he owns the school?”

“He doesn’t own the school, but his father is one of the trustees.” Lulu and Bradley were worried about

her.

“Then let him try.” Nicole sneered.

After copying the work, Nicole returned the assignment to Lulu and thanked her.

She then handed the papers that she was going to submit over to Lulu, grabbed her bag, and left.

“Nicole! Where are you going?” Lulu was baffled.

“I am not attending the self-study class since I have finished the assignment.” Nicole turned and left.

“She said she is not attending the self-study class?” Lulu was wide-eyed.

The self-study classes at the beginning of the school year were not compulsory. But Ms. Emerson

cared a lot about this month’s exams. No one in the class dared to leave, yet Nicole had gone.

“Yeah, when Ms. Emerson finds out, she will go ape.” The two of them looked at each other and could

only pray silently for Nicole in their hearts.

Stepping out of the classroom, Nicole walked out of the school in the sunset along the boulevard.

The shadows of the trees were dancing on the ground as trees rustled in the wind and the afterglow of

dusk sprinkled on the young girl. Someone took a beautiful photo of her and posted it on the school

forum.

Twenty minutes later, Nicole returned to the Riddle family house. She saw Daniel and Gloria as soon

as she stepped through the door.

“How was your day at school today, Nicole?”

“Can you keep up?”

Nicole was not accustomed to such a passionate concern from the two, but she still smiled gently.

“It is alright.”

“Glad to hear that. What do you want for dinner?” Gloria asked with concern.

“Mom, I am not a picky eater. You can cook whatever you want.” Nicole let out a faint smile. She and

Gloria had become acquainted with each other for the past few days, and they had finally broken the

ice.

“You are my good child.” Gloria patted Nicole’s head with a look of relief, only to feel that they were

much closer to each other now.

Although Nicole still felt a little uncomfortable, She did not pull her hand back.

While the three of them were talking, someone suddenly entered the door.

Norah did not attend the self-study class today. She had brought two people back with her.

“Mom, Dad, my cousins are here.” Norah enthusiastically ushered the two people through the door.

Gloria and Daniel were surprised. “Snow, Raine? I didn’t expect you two here.”

Snow and Raine were the children of Dillon and Karen, and like Karen, her two children were also

arrogant, rarely interacting with them. They wondered why they had come back with Norah today.

“Dad, Mom, they are here to bring a gift to Nicole.” Norah sounded gleeful, but she was full of jealousy

deep down inside.

Snow and Raine had never wanted to talk to her.

But when Nicole returned, they immediately bought her a gift and even delivered them personally; this

made Norah furious.

Snow and Raine stepped forward and said, “Uncle, Aunt, my father said he was in a hurry yesterday

and did not manage to prepare a gift for Nicole. So, he asked us to send it over today.”

Raine was polite on the surface but was unhappy inside.

She could not get over the fact that she had to come delivering a gift for a country girl.

Daniel and Gloria glanced at each other, guessing that Dillon must have felt bad for Nicole yesterday,

so he asked Snow to send something over to compensate.

Just as he was about to refuse, Snow already looked at Nicole on the sofa and pretended to be

friendly. “You must be Nicole.”

Snow was stunned when the two of them had eye to eye. “It is you!”

After being compared with a girl on the school forum by classmates the whole day, Snow and Raine

apparently did not expect this person to be their cousin.

“You guys know each other?” Gloria blinked in bafflement.

“Not really.” Nicole spoke calmly and told the truth.

She had seen her during the day, and the boy had asked her if she knew Snow in the morning, but she

did not know that they were related.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Norah quickly said, “Nicole, this is Snow, and this is Raine. They

are the daughters of your second uncle and the most popular girls in our high school and university.”

Norah knew what was happening on the forum today and deliberately spoke about it, causing Snow

and Raine’s faces to change.

Nicole frowned and glanced at Norah. Was Norah trying to cause hatred toward her?

The next second, Raine spoke sarcastically. “You might now know us, but today, the video of you

getting into a fight has gone viral on the school online forum. Almost everyone in the school knows

you.”

“A fight?” Gloria’s expression froze. She immediately looked at Nicole. “You got into a fight?”
