Chapter 1159 Don''t Be Ignorant


    However, since Nathan had personally written the rmendation letter, he could only swallow his


    anger and announce that Nicole was now sessfully a part of the science academy. Besides, the


    academy was his territory. Therefore, he could easily crush her like a gnat if he so wished.


    Nicole stood next to Natasha as she absentmindedly listened to the speech on stage.


    Natasha was weak in the knees. She had used any means necessary to get into the science academy.


    Besides, she only framed Nicole with the thought that Logan would take care of her, permanently.


    But she had never expected that Nicole would escape and return to the science academy so boldly.


    Natasha tried to inch away discreetly, wanting to hide away from Nicole. s, just as she made a


    move, Nicole instantly grabbed her. Nicole still had a smile on her face, but her eyes were anything but


    happy as she drawled, "What''s wrong? You treated me so well just a few days ago, iming that we


    were like best friends. Now, after a few hours, you''re ignoring me?" Nicole''s voice was light and


    friendly, like the calm before the storm.


    Natasha looked at her, feeling her knees turning into the same consistency as jelly. Regardless, she


    forced herself to stay calm as she tried to straighten her spine. But the fearful twitch of her lips and


    clenched fists betrayed her guilty conscience as she stuttered, "N-Nicole, I-I…"


    Unfortunately for Natasha, Nicole was fresh out of sympathy after the kidnapping incident earlier. "Oh,


    don''t you worry, dear. I''m listening."


    There was panic in Natasha''s eyes. Judging from how Nicole could still get into the academy despite


    herck of attendance during the interview stage, Natasha knew that she couldn''t afford to offend the


    woman. And if she did, she wouldn''t have a good time even if she did enroll in the science academy.


    She quickly admitted her wrongdoings and pleaded, "Nicole, I''m sorry. I-I was wrong, I shouldn''t have


    framed you. I-I let my emotions get the best of me, and I acted rashly."


    When Natasha noticed Nicole''s calm face, she felt even more anxious. "It''s all my fault. You can hit me,


    beat me, I won''t even fight back."


    Nicole looked at her with a derisive smile ying on her lips and replied calmly, "Since you know what


    you did was wrong, why did you do it? We''re all adults here. You should be aware of the simple logic


    that there will always be consequences for our actions."


    Natasha felt her nails bite into her palms as she gazed at Nicole pitifully. She inquired tentatively,


    "Nicole, are you unwilling to forgive me?"


    Nicole pursed her lips but said nothing. After her narrow escape earlier, she didn''t intend to waste her


    time on the likes of Natasha. But at the same time, she couldn''t find it in herself to forgive the woman


    so easily.


    When Nicole didn''t reply, Natasha felt even more nervous. She reached out to grab Nicole''s arm and


    begged anxiously, "Nicole! I''ve already apologized to you. What else do you want?!"


    Nicole looked at Natasha''s distraught face and found this entire farce ridiculous. Nicole continued to


    look at Natasha indifferently; her eyes had no trace of any emotions at all. Then, she snapped, "Is this


    how you act when you apologize?"


    Natasha tightened her grip on Nicole''s arm in the face of Nicole''s nonchnt demeanor. At this point,


    Nicolepletely lost any interest in discussing this manner, especially when Natasha felt no remorse


    over her actions. So, she ced her hand on Natasha''s wrist and pressed down hard. Natasha could


    only feel an unbearable pain on her wrist, and she couldn''t help but shriek, immediately releasing


    Nicole''s arm.


    The initially quiet environment, with only the person on stage speaking, was instantly interrupted by


    Natasha''s screams of pain. She looked around at the crowd, her face full of anguish. s, as no one


    had noticed their little spat, she could only bite her lip awkwardly and swallow her grievances.


    Just as Nicole was about to leave after the speech, Natasha blocked her path again.


    "Nicole, what exactly do you want from me?!" she demanded angrily.


    Nicole simply found the whole situation amusing as her lips twisted into a mirthless smile. So, she


    decided to humor Natasha. "Well, what do you think I''m doing?"


    Nevertheless, Natasha couldn''t help but shudder when she couldn''t read anything from Nicole''s cid


    face. For some reason, she couldn''t help but feel as though Nicole exuded a sense of hostility that


    made people tremble after her ordeal. Although she wasn''t aware of the details behind Nicole''s change


    in attitude, she swallowed her saliva nervously but still tried to threaten Nicole, hissing, "Nicole, I''m


    warning you, I have the entire science academy as my backer! So, don''t you think for a second that I''m


    some nobody that you could bully." Content held by N?velDrama.Org.
