Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

“So that’s how it is.” Tina nodded.

Krystal said indignantly, “I always knew there was something about that woman, with her seductive looks. She’s trying to steal someone else’s boyfriend. Shameless!”

“I think she actually looks quite pretty,” Tina remarked. “Nichole, you better watch your boyfriend. What if he gets stolen away?”

Krystal replied, “That’s not going to happen. Nichole’s boyfriend loves her too much to be stolen away by that kind of woman.”

“Thanks for your concern, but don’t worry, my relationship with my boyfriend is solid.” Nichole smiled.

Tina added, “But I heard that girl is also coming to our school, studying finance no less. I bet she’s coming because of Nichole.”

“What?” Nichole was stunned.

Sophie was coming to Eastwood College to study finance? How could that be possible?

“It’s true,” Tina said. “I specifically asked a friend from the admissions office. She was with the principal and the vice-principal, clearly from a wealthy family, probably looking for a backdoor admission.”

Krystal was also puzzled. “Our school has never been short of wealthy students. What’s her background, do you know?”

Tina shook her head. “No idea, but no one else at our school has ever had the principal and vice- principal personally receive them. It shows her family is no ordinary one.”

“She’s so beautiful and rich, and she still wants to steal someone else’s boyfriend? That’s just weird.”

Tina and Krystal’s conversation left Nichole feeling uneasy. If Sophie came to Eastwood College, wouldn’t all the lies she told be exposed?

It was probably because of this that James had left the hospital early that morning.

At that moment, she got a phone call from James, and she stepped outside the dorm to answer it. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“The hospital said you were discharged. What’s going on?” There was a tone of concern in James’ voice.

“I didn’t want to fall behind in my studies, so I came back early.”

*Studies are important, but your health is more important. Don’t go to class for the next few days. I’ll have Colt help you get a leave of absence from school.”

Nichole hesitated before asking, “Mr. Burke, I heard that Sophie is also coming to Eastwood College. Is that true?”

“Who told you that?” James’ tone cooled at the mention of Sophie.

Nichole hurriedly replied, “It was, um, my roommate. She saw a very pretty lady at the school gate also coming for the exam. You mentioned the school called this morning about Sophie, so I thought maybe she’s coming here too.”

“She’s acting on her own. I won’t help her, and you shouldn’t worry about it either. Focus on your recovery.”

Relieved, Nichole sighed.

As long as James didn’t help Sophic, she surely wouldn’t be able to get into the school on her own.

Nichole had struggled hard to get into Eastwood College. Sophie, a pampered heiress, could not possibly have entered this prestigious school, even with last-minute cramming.

“Mr. Burke, there’s one more thing…”

“Go ahead.”

“My birthday is the day after tomorrow. Could I invite you out for dinner?

Nichole waited anxiously for James’ response.

“Okay.”

With James’ affirmative answer, Nichole’s smile was as sweet as if it was dripping with honey.

Usually, James celebrated her birthday with her, but this year, because of Sophie, she felt the need to make some early preparations.
