Chapter 487 Raine revealed an unnoticeable look of glee when she saw the scene unfold. See, I knew it. Nicole can
never start anew. She’s a country bumpkin. Who is she to get first place in the Math Olympiad? Who is she to gain
Mr. Wyance’s favor? She’s meant to be trampled like a speck of dust,’ she thought. Just as everyone was fixated on
Ms. Emerson, a solemn voice came from the podium. “What’re you all talking about? I’d like to hear it too.”

search for the gemstone.
Even though he did not manage to find the gemstone, he found Nicole.
