Chapter 1143 Busted

The Dragon's Spine? Nicole's eyes widened slightly. She never imagined that Gina would use the Dragon's Spine as

leverage to establish a connection with the science academy.

As she recalled the moment when she asked Gina for the Dragon's Spine and received a fake one instead,

everything became clear to her—Gina had stolen the Dragon's Spine in the medical base.

No wonder she gave me a fake Dragon's Spine at the beginning. It turns out she had already given the real one to

the science academy! Nicole suppressed her anger and kept her composure.

What she did not expect was that Gina would engage in such actions after taking over the medical base. She's

tarnishing our master's legacy!

Noticing the anger on her face, Natasha couldn't help but remark, "While the actions of the medical base are

unacceptable, it doesn't directly affect us. There's no need to be so furious."

Nicole composed her expression, mustering a faint smile as she nodded. "It has been a while since I was last in

Durobrivae. I didn't anticipate the medical base turning out like this."

Natasha observed her reaction and assumed she was a recent graduate who had just entered society. So, she

chuckled and said, "Once you've been in Durobrivae for some time, you'll come to understand. We've grown

accustomed to these situations."

Nicole pursed her lips, choosing to remain silent.

As she had an exam in the afternoon, she decided to confront Gina at the medical base after the exam.

During their lunch break at the restaurant, she learned a lot about the situation from Natasha. She realized many

seemingly concealed facts were, in fact, widely known by everyone. It was a matter that had been known for a long

time but not openly discussed.

The afternoon exam posed no significant challenge for Nicole. Once she completed the exam, she returned to the

medical base.

However, the moment she entered the medical base, she noticed Roxanna stepping out with a middle-aged man by

her side. The man hunched his body and wore a flattering expression as he implored Roxanna, "Miss Miller, I'm

relying on you for this. Kindly speak favorably of me in front of Ms. Feuer."

A smug expression appeared on Roxanna's face, but as she caught sight of Nicole in her peripheral vision, her smile

abruptly vanished. She hastily adopted a stern countenance and remarked, "You should leave immediately. I have

pressing matters to attend to."

The observant man noticed her change in expression and promptly nodded before taking his leave.



Nicole's eyes gleamed with realization as she looked at Roxanna and asked, "Who was that man?"

Roxanna quickly explained, "He's just a relative of mine, Miss Anderson."

Nicole glanced at Roxanna, a sense of disgust creeping over her as she observed Roxanna's fawning behavior.

Taking a deep breath to compose herself, Nicole inquired, "Do you know where Gina is right now?"

"Ms. Feuer is likely in her office at this hour. Allow me to guide you there." Roxanna hastily volunteered to lead the

way.

Nicole glanced at her and waved her hand, saying, "No need. I'll go by myself." With that, she left without looking

back.

As she departed, Roxanna's fawning expression turned into a gloomy one as she stared at Nicole's departing figure.

She then snorted, "What audacity she has to think so highly of herself?"

Having spent years with Gina, Roxanna had long become well-versed in the ways of this medical base and naturally

did not hold Nicole in high regard.

After Nicole had left, Roxanna took out her phone and dialed Gina's number. "Ms. Feuer, Nicole is on her way to see

you."

Gina responded, "Got it."

Feeling uneasy, Roxanna paused for a moment before adding, "By the way, Nicole happened to see someone giving

me a gift when she arrived."

At that, Gina's irritation surged, and she scolded, "How could you be so careless?! You'll be in trouble if she finds out

about it!"

Roxanna quickly apologized, "Ms. Feuer, I'm sorry! I didn't expect that she would see it."

Letting out a sigh, Gina contemplated for a moment before saying, "Since she has already seen it, there's nothing

we can do. Just be cautious while she's at the medical base from now on!"
