My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 24

Everyone looked at Nicole in admiration. But the more unbelievable things were yet to come. Austin’s

followers looked at Austin with confusion, and one of them asked, “But boss, yesterday, this ungrateful

brat rejected your—”. Before the guy could finish speaking, Austin gave him a punch with a backhand.

“Stop talking like that to Nicole! From now onward, Nicole is my boss. I will not spare those who dare to

bully her.”

The poor guy glanced angrily at Nicole. Seeing that Austin was serious, the rest bowed their heads and

submitted to Nicole. After that, Austin looked at Nicole flatteringly, hoping to get her compliment.

Everyone was in a daze for a moment, as they could not believe that all this was true.

Jack and Wayne behind them were speechless. Gary watched on with great interest, his eyes falling on

Nicole and studying her. But Nicole was nonchalant, giving no reaction to Austin’s actions.

She then calmly checked her watch and said to Austin, “I am not your boss. My class is about to start.

Don’t bother me anymore.”

Austin panicked when he saw Nicole opening a book, as if she was going to study. But his father had

repeatedly told him to build a good relationship with Nicole and that he must not piss Nicole off.

“I know it was my fault, Nicole. Please forgive me.” Austin humbled himself.

But Nicole ignored him, holding the book she had not finished reading. She did not seem to care about

this farce that was happening right now.

Austin’s face flushed when Nicole ignored him. No one in Royal Creek Institute had ever humiliated him

like this. He had been unwilling to call Nicole his boss from the beginning. How could he still be the

school bully if Nicole rejected him?

“You have got to be the boss, no matter what.” Austin left angrily after saying that. Nicole had no idea

that she had rejected something that many people considered great and irresistible. Many were

envious of her.

Gary saw her nonchalance and knew that Nicole did not take Austin seriously. He could not help but

take a greater interest in her.

Who was she that even the Woods family was bowing to her?

Raine came looking for Gary when she saw Gary staring with interest at Nicole. Angry, she clenched

the bag in her hand and took in Gary’s line of sight.

“Gary, there is a new café in front of the school. How about we go for a cup of coffee after school?”

Gary was displeased when someone blocked his view. When he looked up and saw that it was

Raine, he reluctantly agreed. Raine left the classroom feeling pleased. After she left, Bradley leaned

over and whispered to Nicole, “I heard Raine had been courting Gary for a long time before Gary

accepted Raine. Now it seems that the rumor is true.”

Nicole could not help but smirk upon hearing that. Thinking back to how arrogant the twin sisters, Snow

and Raine, were when she was back at home last night, it would be interesting to see their family’s

reaction when they found out that their daughters were kissing the feet of the Finley brothers.

Bradley looked at Nicole and scratched his head. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“Stop worrying about others. Maybe you should worry about yourself. Is it really okay for you to reject

Austin like this?”

“Don’t worry; it will be alright.” Nicole couldn’t care less. She was not thinking about Austin at all but

focusing her attention and immersed in the Esperian-language book in front of her. Carl somehow

came to mind. He was cynical and annoying, but his eyes were always so charming and wicked. Now

she wondered how well he had recovered. But she felt less guilty toward him as long as he lived.

Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The class bell rang, and Nicole slowly pulled her drifting thoughts back. Ms. Emerson walked in her

high heels into the class with a stack of test papers in her hands.

Ms. Emerson asked Lulu to distribute the test paper while she stood on the podium with her arms

folded, her eyes sweeping over the last few rows with a sneer.

“Some students in our class couldn’t even plagiarize correctly, making the exact low-level stupid

mistakes. Why didn’t you all copy the name, too?”

Jack whispered sarcastically, “It must be that Nicole who made the stupid mistake while plagiarizing.

We have been doing that for so long, and nothing has happened. Why did Ms. Emerson say someone

was plagiarizing as soon as Nicole arrived?”

Wayne nodded in agreement with disdain for Nicole in his eyes.

Ms. Emerson continued. “Jack, Wayne, Gary, you three are at the same level. What is the point of

plagiarizing each other’s answers? You will get more correct answers by throwing the papers to the

ground and stepping on them than answering them yourself. Plagiarism is so obvious; were you afraid

that I couldn’t find out?”

Jack was not too happy when Ms. Emerson only singled out the three of them.

“Nicole has done the same thing, too. I saw it with my own eyes. Why don’t you reprimand her?”

Ms. Emerson got furious when Jack was trying to implicate Nicole.

“Plagiarism is one thing, and slandering your classmate is another. Nicole has got a perfect score. Only

she has a perfect score in the class. Even Lulu has answered two questions wrongly. So, tell me, who

was plagiarizing whose answers?”
