Chapter 1670
"Let's go home. Mom and dad are probably worried about Nicole," Spencer softly said as they got into the car.
When they had arrived back home, they realized that their whole family was in the living room, as if they were
waiting in anticipation for any updates.
Gloria immediately stood up when she saw Nicole walking in. "Nicole, Samuel, and Spencer. Are you all okay? Did
Dillion make things difficult for you?"
Nicole quickly smiled when she saw Gloria's worried look.
She comforted her and said, "No, grandpa protected us. We came back right after it was over."
Seeing that Nicole was not lying, Daniel was relieved. "So, what happened? Why did Dillion go to your grandpa?"
They wanted to make their way to Mr. Riddle Sr.'s manor as well, but as Mr. Riddle Sr. had only requested Nicole's
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpresence, they were worried that Nicole was going to get bullied.
Nicole wanted to get it over with by giving them a brief explanation.
However, Samuel was not able to hold it in. "It's all because of that vicious vixen, Raine! She caused a mess, and
yet, she pointed her fingers at Nicole. She even got Uncle Dillion to talk to grandpa!"
"Raine?" Gloria quickly turned to Nicole when she heard that Raine was involved. "Did she bully you in school?"
Raine and Snow never got along with Nicole, and Sean had told them about Raine's wrongdoings in school as well.
That was why Gloria was worried that they had bullied Nicole in school.
"It's fine. Raine has already been expelled by Mr. Ellison, so she won't be finding trouble with me anymore."
"Expelled?!" Everyone's eyes widened.
Daniel was very shocked too. "No wonder your uncle was in a rush to see your grandpa..."
This is a major issue within the family.
All of the Riddle children were studying in Royal Creek Institute, which was the best school in San Joto. Raine and
Snow had gone through a great deal to get themselves enrolled into that school, just for Raine to be expelled now.
'Dillion must be going crazy now. I guess he'd probably want to sever ties with me after this,' Daniel thought.
"She deserves to be expelled! She hurt Nicole in school! A vile person like her shouldn't even stay in our family!"
Samuel was livid.
"Samuel..." Nicole wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.
Gloria's eyes immediately widened when she heard that Nicole was hurt. "You're hurt?! Where? Let me have a
look!"
"I'm fine, mom..." Nicole said in defeat.
"You're fine? No, your shoulders are badly injured! How could you just keep quiet about it? If they didn't go to
grandpa's place today, you probably wouldn't even bother to tell us about it, right?" Spencer protested with a look
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmof concern.
When Gloria heard that Nicole's shoulders were injured, she quickly pulled her collar aside and checked.
Though the swelling had subsided, the bruising was still rather glaring. "Gosh... How could you say that it doesn't
hurt when you're injured so badly?"
Her eyes immediately started to water. "Raine is just too much! How could she do such a thing?!"
Daniel became really angry when he saw that his daughter had been bruised. "Dillion is ridiculous! How could he
blame Nicole after Raine had done such a terrible thing?!”
Stanley was furious too. "How did grandpa go about this? Did he just dismiss it?"
Spencer sighed. "Aunt Karen went to see grandpa because she wanted to accuse Nicole and get grandpa to help
Raine back into Royal Creek Institute. But grandpa said that this was the consequence of Raine's actions, so he
won't be doing anything about this. About Nicole's injury though... Grandpa didn't do anything to punish Raine..."
"Ridiculous!" Steve's expression darkened. "Even if Raine had been expelled, we couldn't just let this slide!"
Sean's gaze darkened as well, and he thought to himself before saying, "Leave this to me. I believe Uncle Dillion
wouldn't just stop here. We might as well just... go all out."
