Chapter 1661
Everyone was speechless as Mr. Ellison's demeanor underwent a 360-degree shift when Nicole appeared. The
atmosphere in the room was now awkward where all but one had inexplicably become a little timid.
The parents of the other two students were not from distinct families, so it made sense that neither of them knew
who Nicole was. Still, they were perplexed to have Mr. Ellison addressing Nicole the way he did.
'Is it possible that she is also from the Riddle family? Karen was difficult enough to deal with and now, we have
another that Mr. Ellison knows well too. It is hard enough for us to prove our daughter's innocence.'
Nicole looked at the couple who were eyeing one another and with frosty eyes, she asked, "Are you the two girls
who had thrown the pots at us?"
The other party was nothing more than just a student, though she realized that her identity might presumably be
unusual.
The father of one of the students stepped forward and unconvincingly, he said, "So what if my daughter had lost
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgrip of the flowerpot? She forced them into it!"
As he spoke, he pointed at Karen's back with righteous indignation.
Raine raised her chin and looked at the other student's
parents with an expression of disbelief. "Don't spout nonsense if you don’t have a shred of evidence!"
"What kind of evidence do you want!? These two students here are the witnesses!" The father of the other student
argued, fearing that Nicole would not give them a chance to prove themselves.
Mr. Ellison interrupted them and in an icy tone, he said," Enough. What kind of place do you think this is? It's not a
market for you to negotiate, let alone debate. All of you will be expelled!"
After hearing Mr. Ellison's words, the parents of the two girls kept mum, not daring to utter another word.
Noticing that Mr. Ellison was talking to her, Karen immediately got excited and perked up, "Mr. Ellison, I didn't want
to attend this meeting today, but since the matter has been cleared up, I will leave."
Mr. Ellison was having a headache, but upon seeing that Nicole had come to support her family members, he could
only grit his teeth and let the matter go.
However, before he could open his mouth to say another word, Nicole sat down across from him and said, "I didn't
get the chance to explain this matter clearly, but I was the one who had been hit by the pot, so that should count
right?"
As soon as these words left her mouth, everyone present in the room was stunned.
Mr. Ellison was dumbfounded too, and it took some time for him to react. "Hit..."
He immediately looked at Lulu who had followed Nicole here. "Are you the one who was hit by the flowerpot?"
Lulu had never spoken to Mr. Ellison before, and so, she was nervous.
Racked by anxiety, she awkwardly stated, "I should have been the one that the pot had fallen on...but Nicole saved
me, and her shoulders got hurt because of it..."
When everyone heard that Nicole had been struck by the falling flowerpot, they all gasped, with Raine secretly
feeling a gush of pride at her victory. 'I thought those two did not manage to hit her, but I didn't know that she got
hurt trying to protect Lulu! Serves her right.'
Nicole noticed the nonchalant expression on Raine's face, and her eyes narrowed slightly. 'She is still unwilling to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmrepent. I ought to teach her a lesson today!'
Then, Nicole crossed her legs and looked at everyone. "I've seen the video. The one who had thrown the flowerpot
was your daughter, am I right?"
The parents noticed that there was a chance for them to plead their innocence, and thus, they immediately
responded, "Although the video has proven that it was our daughters' doing, it was her who had forced them into it!
Raine was the one who had forced them. There were other people present too. They could all testify!"
The moment Karen heard that, she became livid. "The principal had sent someone to look for witnesses, but no one
came forward to testify. Stop spouting baseless
accusations!"
Raine added on with a cold expression, "Exactly! Spewing nonsense without evidence? Be careful or I'll sue you for
slandering!"
Nicole could not stop herself from squinting her eyes upon noticing how arrogant Raine was. "Raine, I don't care
what other people say. I just want to ask you, was it you who had coerced someone into throw a flowerpot at me?"
Raine did not foresee that Nicole would target her so suddenly. She was stunned, and it took her a moment before
she could even react.
She wanted to deny the accusation, but upon staring into Nicole's eyes, she stuttered, "I...I... It wasn't me!"
