Chapter 232

The nurse looked at the appraisal report marked with an F with an icy glint in her eyes.

She took off her gloves and threw them on the ground, and then tore the appraisal report to pieces
before leaving with her chest held high.

Nicole came out the door with Daniel and Gloria looking at her outside.

“You’ve been with Jared for two days?” they asked softly.

They could only ask Nicole since they could not ask Jared.

“Sort of,” Nicole said as she kneaded her forehead, but she could not say anything about her going
abroad.

Gloria hinted at Daniel not to ask again, thinking Nicole was shy.

Steve, too, had the same thinking and gently interrupted Daniel.

“Nicole, we plan to arrange grandpa for the operation in three days, but we haven’t found a suitable
doctor.

I think Jared is seeing the hospital CEO now,” he said.

Nicole was a little surprised and felt touched, as Jared had not left but found someone to help her.

Gloria saw Nicole was absent-minded, so she asked questions she was most concerned about.” It’s okay
to go out with Jared, but you should’ve told us.

We have not been able to contact you.” Nicole felt a little guilty.



“I’m sorry, Mom.

I turned off my phone and didn’t receive calls.” Her profession was destined to worry Gloria, so she had
better not tell her.

Daniel and Gloria glanced at each other.

Since Nicole had admitted her mistake, they should not harp on it anymore.

Daniel coughed to clear his throat and said, “Nicole, I’m not against you getting into a relationship, but
you must let us know.

Otherwise, we would be worried when you disappear all of a sudden.”

“You’re in love?” Samuel was wide-eyed.

He had been at school and did not know about Nicole’s personal life.

Spencer pinched Samuel’s arm from behind and looked at Nicole, saying nothing.

Nicole was not as embarrassed as they thought.

She just nodded gently and said, “I will.

Don’t worry.” Nicole was apparently their youngest child.

Gloria and Daniel had no hesitation in believing what Nicole had said.

The two said nothing more, just smiling and nodding.

Norah felt indignant when Nicole was not reprimanded, even after spending two days with a man
outside.



She stepped up and said, “Mom, Dad, you’re still so indulgent toward Nicole.

It will only spoil her.

If she hadn’t been away from home this time, how could grandpa have gotten sick? It’s all because of
her.”

Norah’s five brothers immediately looked at her.

She had always been a good girl in their eyes.

They did not expect that she would say such a thing.

“How can you say such a thing, Norah? Grandpa fell ill because of the Rogers family.

What does it have to do with Nicole?” Samuel thought Norah had gone overboard.

“Exactly.

How can you simply accuse Nicole?” Spencer also thought Norah had gone too far.

Seeing that her brothers were all siding with Nicole and no one was supporting her, Norah pushed
Samuel away.

“You all are biased toward Nicole! Is it just because she is your biological sister? I have been living with
you all in this home for so many years, yet I’m nothing to you all!”

Norah had been keeping these words in her heart for a long time, and now she could no longer stand it
and said them out loud.

But what awaited her was not an answer but silence from all of them.



Norah had finally understood it all.

She looked into the eyes of her parents and five brothers and could not help but laugh sarcastically.

“You all acquiesced to it, didn’t you? It seems that no one in this family is treating me as one of you.

I’m not going to come back again!”
