Chapter 1177 Personal Grudge

As soon as Nicole's words fell, the crowd fell silent. Everyone was well aware of the grudge betweenLogan and White, even if nobody mentioned it out loud. Now that Nicole had touched on this issue,their eyes immediately swept toward Logan.

Meanwhile, Logan's face flushed red. His plan was originally to completely trample over Nicole'sreputation, but he hadn't expected Jennifer to show up all of a sudden. With her following Natasha tothe hospital, she would definitely be able to tell that Natasha was not pregnant at all and only showedthose symptoms by taking medicine. Although Natasha would bear the consequences alone, it wouldnot stop rumors from spreading.

The corner of Logan's lips twitched as he replied mildly, "Of course not."

A trace of a smile emerged in Nicole's eyes as she stared at him and nodded, saying slowly, "Well, thatmakes sense. As the person in charge of the science academy, surely you won't do something soshameful, Mr. Yael."

Upon saying that, Nicole lowered her head in thought. Then, as if recalling something all of a sudden,she changed the topic and said with a smile, "However, with the way you straight up accused mewithout doing any sort of investigation earlier, I nearly thought that you had planned everything andwere just waiting for me to fall into your trap."

Logan's hand slowly clenched into a fist by his side. Nicole had a sharp tongue and had a way with herwords—although she claimed to believe him on the surface, her words clearly pointed out hiswrongdoings.

He breathed in deeply and forcefully mustered a lopsided smile on his lips. It was a long time before he

replied hoarsely, "When I saw the state Natasha was in, I didn't think that she would give up her bodyjust to frame someone. If you misunderstood, I can apologize to you."

Nicole rolled her eyes and swept a glance at the reporters behind her before she smiled at himcourteously. "No, not at all. I wouldn't dare to misunderstand. You're an influential figure, Mr. Yael, and Ibelieve that something like this would never happen in the science academy. This incident onlyhappened due to Natasha's personal grudges."

Nicole slowly moved her gaze back to Logan and continued, "However, since you had a grudge againstmy master in the past, Mr. Yael, as Doctor White's protege, I'm afraid that people would misunderstandif something happens to me in the science academy. They might think that you won't let me in becauseof your personal grudges, don't you think?"

As there were a large number of people present, her words had practically told everyone that ifsomething happened to her in the science academy, it would surely be the Yael Family's doing withoutany doubt.

Naturally, Logan understood what she was implying. His hands turned white as he clenched his walkingcane and his face twisted with anger, but he was unable to refute her claims, and that in itself waspractically torture.

However, he could not afford to lose his temper and shoot himself in the foot with so many reporters atthe scene. Hence, he could only force a smile on his face and grit out, "I'm a little tired. The ceremonyis about to begin, so I'll take my leave for now."

At that, he left with Ryan's help.

As Nicole watched their retreating backs, her expression still remained taut. Although Ryan hadremained silent throughout the entire incident, he never took his eyes off her, and his eerie red eyesgleamed with an uncanny light as if he were contemplating something. While she could still handleLogan, Ryan was a wild card.

If it was purely about the field of medicine, she had to hand it to him. Although his age was not far fromhers, he managed to discover a way to raise voodoo bugs and even sustained many of his own.Hence, it was an undeniable fact that he was extremely skilled in this area.

After staring at them for a moment, she turned around and headed to the library. If it hadn't been forNatasha's interference, she would've entered the library much earlier. Fortunately, nothing bad cameout of the incident.
