Chapter 365

When Mrs. Wallace Sr. saw Nicole walk out of the classroom, her cloudy eyes lit up. She quickly walked over to Nicole. Nicole watched as Mrs. Wallace Sr. gradually got closer. Her cold gaze started to turn to one that was soft.

She held Mrs. Wallace Sr.'s boney hands and said in a low voice, "What're you doing here, grandma?"

Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at the granddaughter she raised single handedly and smiled. She then patted her arm and said, "I missed you. Coincidentally, your class teacher wanted to see you as well, so he brought me along."

Only then did Nicole notice the middle-aged man standing beside her. The man did not have a chance to join the conversation. He was her previous class teacher, Mr. Mills. She did not expect him to be able to continue working at their school.

Nicole gave him a once over when she saw his tightly clasped hands. He was sweating buckets and seemed as though he had trouble speaking his mind. Nicole instantly knew what he was doing here. Before her brothers left Great Oak, they mentioned that they would donate a sum of money to expand the campus.

'Mr. Mills must have been sent by the headmaster to ask for investments. It hasn't even been a month. They really are a bunch of opportunists.,' she thought.

Mr. Mills had always been scared of Nicole. Ever since Nicole crossed the headmaster, the two of them had been ignoring her. There were even times when he tried to kick her out of school.

He managed to stay by using the excuses that he had taught Nicole for many years and that he would wait for their family's investment.

However, Nicole's family had not contacted the school since she left. As a result, he could only look for Mrs. Wallace Sr. and bring her along with him to look for Nicole in San Joto. In reality, he did not like Nicole at all.

Even though he was her class teacher, they were now nothing more than strangers. He was worried that Nicole would ignore him. For that reason, he did not know what to say now that he was looking at Nicole. He had no idea how to bring up the matter of investment.

Nicole was not affected by Mr. Mill's flattery. She did not want to waste her time on him. She said bluntly, "Mr. Mills, tell the headmaster that the money will be transferred to his bank account really soon." The weight on Mr. Mill's chest was instantly lifted. His expression kept on shifting; he did not know if he was supposed to feel grateful or express his gratitude. In the end, Mr. Mills could only say, "We're much obliged, Nicole."

"Mhm."

Nicole accepted his gratitude and did not continue exchanging pleasantries with him.

Mr. Mills was stunned.

'Nicole is still so cold even after moving to San Joto. If she manages to do well in San Joto in the future, even pigs can fly!' he thought angrily.

'I intended to show her around Royal Creek Institute. I've never seen such a breathtaking campus. Moreover, this place is huge. It took me forever to replace the teaching and learning, complex,' he thought again. Nicole did not pay Mr. Mills any mind. She applied for leave and prepared to take her grandmother out for a meal. After that, she would return to the Riddle family's house.

Mrs. Wallace Sr. was confused about why Nicole was so cold to Mr. Mills. She looked at her granddaughter and fell into thought.

Then, she turned to Mr. Mills and said, "Mr. Mills, is there a reason you're still here?"

He told her that he wanted to see Nicole. Now that he had seen her, he could tell her whatever he wanted to say.
