Chapter 19

Nicole was the most annoyed and worried to receive such a call. 'Layton, the bad boy, always made
trouble for me. He knew clearly how hard it was for me to find a school that was willing to admit him,
but he still did not cherish it!'

Nicole called Layton first, but Layton dared to hang up her phone. Nicole had no choice but to ask for
an emergency leave in the afternoon and go to the school to have a look.

When she arrived at the school, it was already 5 o'clock afternoon. The students were having their last
class, and the playground was empty.

Nicole called Layton's head teacher. After making sure that he was in his office, Nicole was familiar with
the way to the teaching building No. 3. However, Nicole didn't expect that she would meet the mistress
and the daughter of the mistress on the playground, the two she would never forget in her whole life -
Her father's mistress and the daughter of the mistress.

Lena pushed Primrose's wheelchair, and the two talked in a low voice, enjoying the moment of peace.

Primrose was wearing a white dress, long hair down to the waist, oval like face, watery almond eyes
and small cherry like mouth. She was still as classical and beautiful as before. Primrose was a few
months younger than Nicole, but she didn't suffer. She looked like about 20 years old, much younger
than Nicole.

Lena was more than 40 years old, and her skin and figure were well maintained. She looked like a
beautiful woman in her thirties.

Lena was an expert in cosmetics research with a high IQ and a well-education degree, and a strong
mind and clear logic. Nicole's mother was raised in a rich family, simple and kind. Lena had
experienced a lot. Lena was much more beautiful and intelligent than Nicole's mother.



Nicole would never forget how Lena had dealt with her mother.

At that time, Nicole's mother stood on the rooftop, crying and begging Lena to let her go, but Lena
didn't show any mercy. She even said sarcastically, "A man doesn't like you any longer. Why don't you
let him go? I have been in love with Howard for more than ten years. We have been together since
college. Whether he is married or not, our relationship has never changed. Do you think he will come
back to you after you cry and shout? Don't expect! "

Every word Lena said was like a sharp knife dipped in poison, stabbing into Nicole's mother's heart.
Nicole's mother finally jumped downstairs in despair!

Nicole watched her mother fall lifeless like a doll, and Nicole was almost crazy for a moment. When
Nicole's mother was sent to the hospital, Nicole cried all the way and accompanied her. At that time,
Nicole was so helpless and desperate that she couldn't help crying every day.

When her mother was sent to the emergency room, Nicole was trembling all over. The figure of her
mother jumping off the tall building, the cold face of Lena and the figure of her father escaping
constantly flashed through Nicole's mind. Her heart was shrank because of fear, and her body was
sweating constantly. Nicole's fists unconsciously tightened, almost piercing through the palm of her
hands, and tears fell.

How Nicole wished her mother could live and accompany her, not leaving her alone. But in the end, her
mother died and her faith was broken.

There was a moment when Nicole was desperate about life, and from that moment on, Nicole hated
her father and the mistress and the daughter of the mistress.

Nicole went to Primrose's school and had a quarrel with Primrose. In grief and despair, she couldn't
control her emotions and pushed Primrose down the stairs by mistake.



Later, Lambert came to them, Nicole wanted to explain to Lambert, but Lambert pushed her away, held
Primrose in his arms and took Primrose away. Lambert gritted his teeth and stared at Nicole, saying,
"The most vicious woman in the world is you. I didn't expect you to be so cruel. I really misjudged you!"

The words Lambert said hurt Nicole so much. At that time, Nicole liked Lambert so much. She had
loved him for three years! But when Lambert met Primrose at first glance, he fell in love with Primrose
easily.

Nicole really wanted to say that she didn't mean it. She didn't mean to hurt Primrose. She was painful
when her mother died. She just wanted to ask Primrose for justice. She didn't mean it!

But no one listened to her explanation, and even Lambert would not believe Nicole.

When Nicole recalled the past, that kind of injury was still painful to remember. Even after seven or
eight years, every time she thought of it, she was still painful.

Nicole looked at Primrose who was sitting on the wheelchair. Primrose used to feel inferior and timid,
she was a girl who often smiled shyly. Now Primrose no longer smiled. Even if she smiled occasionally
because of Lena, Primrose was still very reluctant.

It was all Nicole's fault. No matter she hated Lena or felt guilty to Primrose, Nicole didn't want to face
the two. So Nicole turned around and quietly went to the teaching building.

Nicole went to the teacher's office on floor 5 of the teaching building. Because the office was between
two classrooms, when she walked over, she heard the sound of the teachers and students in the
classroom. This sound made her particularly nervous. Every time she came to the school, she was
worried that the school would no longer welcome Layton.

Nicole walked into the office. The office was very quiet. There was no rebuke on Layton from the head
teacher beyond she had expected, and only one or two very light words occasionally.



Nicole felt strange and hesitated for a moment. When she was about to knock on the door, she heard
someone say, "I thought only Layton and his sister lived together. I didn't expect that he still has a
guardian, it is you."

This voice belonged to Layton's head teacher, Mr. Xu.

After Mr. Xu said that, a middle-aged man said awkwardly, "This... I feel a little ashamed. I am the
father of Layton, but these years... For various reasons, I really didn't discipline this child well, which
caused you and the school trouble. I hope this time, you can give him another chance. If the school
needs the help of us, such as donate money to build a building, we can... "

"Well, do you think they won't drive me out if you build a building for school? Don't expect it!" Layton
suddenly said sarcastically.

Nicole frowned. She didn't know why, but she felt that Layton's tone was a little different from usual.
Layton was always glib tongued and heartless. When something happened, he always liked to
mention, "Our family was fine in the past, wasn't it? Even now we are poor, our father's relationship is
still..."

Every time she heard this sentence, she was very angry, because Layton did not know what had
happened in the past, he could still rely on his bad father, but she had a psychological barrier that she
could not cross in any case. She did not allow it, and she would never let Layton miss that bad man
every time something happened.

She had always thought that Layton was not sensible. When he was sent away, he was only 9 years
old. How could he know if he was not at home for a few years? Even though he had grown up when he
came back, but the matter had been passed. She didn't explain much to him, and he couldn't know, so
he had always been heartless and immature.



But now, hearing what Layton said, Nicole found out that he also hated his father. He was not like a
child who always mentioned "our father's relationship is still" every time something happened.

Embarrassed, Howard Lin hurriedly explained, "The child is angry. Mr. Xu, please ignore him. My wife
and I learned that the J High School is preparing to build a student dorm recently. My wife and I have
some spare money and are willing to do charity. How about this? I will donate some money with my
wife, but Layton... "

Hearing this, Nicole knocked at the door at once. After getting the permission of Mr. Xu, she pushed the
door open generously. Everyone in the office was surprised.

There were only three people in the small office, Mr. Xu, Layton and Howard. The three of them looked
at Nicole, which made Howard immediately nervous.

Layton suddenly said casually, "Now it is interesting." His sister had always hated his father. Although
he didn't know why, he had felt it obviously in the past few years.

Nicole walked up to them and said, "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry that I'm late."

Mr. Xu stood up and said, "Miss Lin, you are here too? I thought Layton's father would come here
today."

Nicole bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu. I'm the one that is Layton's guardian. If you need
anything, just tell me."

Mr. Xu looked at Howard and said in surprise, "He... Isn't he your father?"

Nicole replied coldly, "No."



Mr. Xu was surprised. Layton also looked at his sister. He knew that his sister hated his father, but it
was the first time he had seen her denying her father in public. 'Obviously Nicole said calmly. How
could she say such cruel words?'

Howard was about to explain, but Nicole suddenly turned around and said to Howard coldly, "Mr. Lin,
you can go out now! I will be responsible for the matter of Layton, You don't need to get involved."

"Nicole..."

"You already have your own family. Why do you have to interfere in the matter of Layton and me?"
Nicole continued to refuse coldly.

Mr. Xu sensed that something was wrong. The family had been broken. Although he didn't know what
had happened between the father and the daughter, there must have been something unpleasant
between the two. Mr. Xu couldn't interfere in other people's families, but it was related to his students.
He didn't know whether he should interfere or not.

Howard probably felt embarrassed and embarrassed loss face. He looked at Mr. Xu, then looked at
Layton and Nicole, finally shook his head and sighed to Nicole, "Then I'll wait for you outside. When
you two come out, I want to talk to you."

Nicole didn't say anything. She just watched Howard leave dejectedly.

After a talk with Mr. Xu, Nicole knew that Mr. Xu didn't inform Howard, but Howard came to the school
to find Layton by himself.

After knowing Layton's situation in the school, in order to keep Layton's position in the school, Howard
said that he wanted to donate money to the school. But that was the money he and Lena gave. Nicole
couldn't accept it.



Nicole tried her best to hold back her emotions and talked to Mr. Xu about Layton's situation at school.
After making a promise to the teacher again and again, she went out with Layton.

Nicole thought that Howard was at the door, but he didn't, so Nicole turned around and scolded Layton,
"Can't you just be obedient? You know how hard it is for me to find a school for you!"

Layton said casually, "The teacher is obviously against me. Why do you always scold me without
asking the reason clearly every time?"

"Even if the teacher aims at you for no reason, why does he aim at you specially?"

Layton was about to retort, but suddenly someone in the corner said, "Nicole..."

The siblings two turned around, Howard and his mistress and their daughter walking out.
