Chapter 47

Jared saw that Nicole had no intentions of talking to him, so he said, “Sure, we’ll meet him someday
then. I’ve got something to do, so I’ll be leaving now.”

Jared then fixed his tie and got up before turning and leaving dashingly.

Max was the only one who knew that his boss was a little upset.

After Jared left, Nicole only looked up to see the back of his figure. For whatever reason, she suddenly
found his sulking expression interesting. She stopped smiling and shook her head, and continued
reading while drinking her coffee. The sky turned dark in the blink of an eye, and Nicole finally decided
to go back to her dorm to rest. She kept her book away and got up after leaving a banknote on the
table. Before leaving the café, she saw Raine bringing Gary into the premise. Nicole could not help but
smirk as she did not expect Raine to show up at the café after being humiliated here.

Gary also saw Nicole and got a little angry as he thought about her rejecting him earlier in the
afternoon. So, he did not start a conversation with her, though his eyes were still following her around.

Raine’s expression turned hideous as soon as she saw Nicole.

Gary had been treating Raine exceptionally cold these days. She knew that Gary was very

interested in this café, so she tried her best to bit the embarrassment bullet she got from the slap last
time. She managed to get Gary to come with her, but who would have known that Nicole would appear
everywhere?!

When Raine watched Nicole walking past her and the cashier, leaving without paying, she could not
help but mock Nicole, “How could you leave without paying, Nicole? You country folks are really
uneducated. You’re trying to avoid paying even when you’re in full view!”

Nicole just rolled her eyes at Raine. She paid no heeds to her and pushed the door open.



Raine saw Nicole shaking her head, so she thought Nicole was trying to leave without paying She
immediately rushed over to the man at the cashier and said, “Hey! Do something about her. She’s
trying to leave without paying! You’re lucky I saw it!” Nicole had insulted Raine last time, so Raine
wanted to embarrass Nicole to the point where she could not bring herself to get her coffee from this
café anymore! Unexpectedly, the cashier only gave her a polite smile. “That lady is Miss Riddle and
she’s our café’s VIP. She doesn’t have to pay for anything here. As for you, missus, you’ve already
been blacklisted by our café. The café owner doesn’t welcome you. Please leave.”

“What?” Raine was trembling with anger after hearing his words. She did not expect Nicole to be able
to dine in here for free so easily, but she was chased out

even when she wanted to spend her money here! “How do you run your business? Do you know who I
am? How dare you blacklist me?! Do you want your business to close down?!”

The cashier who was polite to her immediately changed his attitude upon her remarks. “I don’t care
who you are, but the rules of our café remain! Don’t act so atrociously here, or you will pay for it!”

Two big-built bodyguards appeared behind the cashier after he was done speaking, staring down at
Raine.

Raine wanted to continue speaking, but Gary could not stand being in such a humiliating situation
anymore, so he just turned and left.

He had never been rejected by anyone ever since he was young. Raine was really embarrassing him!

Raine panicked when she saw Gary leaving, so she immediately ran after Gary after shooting the
cashier a glare. “Gary, wait up…” Max walked down the stairs after Raine and Gary left and praised the
cashier, “You’ve done well.”



Raine was yelling at the fiance of his boss and was even threatening people in Johnston’s territory. She
was obviously asking for trouble!

Max then walked to Nicole. “We’re sorry for startling you, Miss Riddle.”

“It’s alright.” Nicole smiled, not feeling upset. Instead, she was really relieved at the fact that Jared had
blacklisted Raine.

“Please thank Mr. Johnston for me. I’ll visit here often.” Nicole waved and left after speaking.

Max was a little surprised as he thought, ‘Miss Riddle seemed happy.’

At that moment, the cashier walked over to Max. “Mr. Graham, that lady just now left some money on
the table…”

Max took the banknote and smiled. “This lady sure is interesting.”

He thought, ‘Mr. Johnston already said that Nicole did not have to pay for anything in here, but she
refused to owe him anything.

‘People like her are rare these days.’

The sky was dark, and the streetlights on campus were all lit up. Nicole walked slowly to her dormitory
with her bag in her hands, and it did not take long for her to reach her dorm.

Just when she was about to go up the stairs, she sensed that something was about to fall from
upstairs.

Her reaction was quick, so she dodged it immediately. Suddenly, a rock landed on the ground, and a
loud noise was heard.



“A rock?!” She thought, ‘Who was pulling such a sick prank? If I hadn’t evaded that rock, it would have
cracked open my skull.’ She sensed that the rock was thrown from the dormitory next to hers just now.
The dormitory was for boys, so she had no idea who bore so much grudge at her that he had to hit her
with a rock.

The culprit was still looking at her from the tenth-something floor and was upset that the rock did not hit
her. The person scoffed and tucked his head back in. Nicole did not see his face, but she wondered, ‘I
have just moved into the dormitory today, so I shouldn’t have offended anyone here?’

Although she was in puzzlement, she just walked to her dormitory calmly without saying anything After
she got in, she took a hot shower.

When she got out of the shower, she heard Lulu exclaim from the bed next to hers, “Nicole, look at the
school forum now. Everyone is buzzing there. They said you bullied snow, so you don’t deserve to be
the campus queen!”
