Chapter 76

Samuel could not take it anymore. “Raine, stop the nonsense! The small forum is full of gossip, and
Spencer and I would never visit it. How can you believe in these things?”

Raine sneered. “Just because you guys didn’t visit that you didn’t know. Your good sister thought so
highly of herself and took part in the Math Olympiad competition. She got a zero score on the first test.”

“Zero?” The entire family was stunned. Since the founding of the Royal Creek Institute, all its students
were elites, and no one had ever scored zero. Was Nicole so dumb that she got a zero score?

Damien and his wife looked gravely at Nicole at the thought of her embarrassing the Riddle family. They
then looked at Gloria and Daniel, feeling not too happy.

They had long disagreed about sending Nicole to the Royal Creek Institute high school. It turned out that
they were right: Nicole had not only made trouble but also scored zero on tests. Raine was right about
Nicole embarrassing the Riddle family.

Dillon also looked at Nicole with disappointment. She was not only ill-mannered at home but also
behaving terribly at school. She needed to be taught a lesson lest she would get from bad to worse next
time.

After a long silence, Damien said icily to Nicole, “I know Raine very well. She will never lie and slander
others. Nicole, you, as part of the Riddle family, not taking care of your words and actions, have brought
shame to the family. How can you be so willful?”

Miley Rogers nodded in agreement as she sat by. Her daughter had already embarked on the

road to stardom and could not afford to let news leak out that she had such a sister. “Exactly. Snow has
always been gentle and easy to get along with. What was wrong with you? Why did you bully her?” Dillon



said.

“Actually, Nicole didn’t bully me. It was I who had talked too much, but I was out of concern for her. She
must have felt annoyed because of that,” Snow said softly.

The more Snow said, the angrier Dillon became. He glared at Nicole and said, “You must give us an
explanation today.”

Seeing that her husband had spoken out, Karen immediately jumped onto the bandwagon.” Exactly. How
could Nicole bully Snow? Daniel, you must give us an explanation.” Nicole looked at Snow with a smirk
after hearing what karen had said. Snow appeared to be wanting to stop Raine and her parents, but in
reality, she was fanning the flames. Her family was up to no good.

Samuel was desperate, but he could not talk back to the elders. But Nicole did not panic even the
slightest when facing all of them. She just played with the quilt and chuckled. “Did you just say I bullied
Snow? Where is the evidence?” Dillon quickly looked at Raine, who immediately showed him the photo
on the forum.

He looked furious and pointed at Nicole. “Can you see what this is? How dare you deny you didn’t bully
Snow? So why did she cry?”

Nicole smirked. “Ask her about it. But, according to Raine, I have beaten Celia’s boyfriend so severely
that he is now lying in the hospital. So had I wanted to bully Snow, she would have had no chance to
cry.”

Nicole’s frosty eyes swept over Raine and Snow, sending a chill up their spines. Samuel snapped back
and tried to defend Nicole. “Absolutely. How can you prove Nicole has bullied Snow? Nicole is a national
martial arts champion. If she wants to bully Snow, she can make Snow cry with just her fingers.”



“Samuel.” Seeing Samuel getting emotional, Spencer quickly stopped him. Their two elder brothers were
not there. So even if they wanted to defend Nicole, their words carried little weight in front of the elders.

Samuel got what Spencer meant and could only suppress his anger and sit down.

But what Samuel said made Mr. Riddle Sr. think. After a moment, he asked, “Nicole, you are a national
martial arts champion?”

No wonder she beat all the boys and sent them lying in the hospital. There surely was more to this
granddaughter of his than met the eye. Nicole did not intend to hide it either. She nodded and said, “My
grandma was afraid that I would be bullied when I was a child, so she sent me to learn some self-
defense techniques.” Mr. Riddle Sr.’s face turned solemn. He immediately turned to Snow. “Tell me what
the hell is going on.” Snow was confused for a moment. But she quickly came out of it and responded.
“Grandpa, I never said that Nicole bullied me. Someone deliberately took this photo and uploaded it to
the Internet. I guess Raine must have seen this photo and thought that Nicole bullied me.” With that, she
pinched Raine hard under the table.

Raine’s heart skipped a beat, and she looked flabbergasted at Snow. It was Snow who uploaded the
photo to the Internet. Why did she deny it now?

But when she noticed Mr. Riddle Sr.’s grave expression, her heart skipped a beat again. “I don’t know.
That is what people say on the school forum.” Just when Dillon wanted to say something, Karen quickly
pinched him, stopping him from talking. She had now figured out what was going on when noticing her
daughter’s reaction.

“Snow was right beside you, yet you came back to complain about it before finding out what was actually
going on?” Mr. Riddle Sr hissed, “I—” Raine bit her lip and quibbled. “I might not have found out what
was going on. But what about the other things?” This was not the only wrong thing that Nicole had done.
At this point, Spencer took out his phone, opened the post on the school forum, and showed it to Mr.



Riddle Sr. “Grandpa, the allegation that Nicole was dating two guys at the same time is also false. It was
a picture taken when we took Nicole out to dinner. Just that Nicole is more low

-key. She did not tell her relationship with us at school.” After hearing this, Mr. Riddle Sr. no longer
believed all other allegations. He looked frostily at Raine. “It is all bullshit! How can you trust things on
the Internet? I can’t believe that you took that as truth and used that to smear your cousin.”
