Eric finally caught up.He managed to catch a glimpse of someone leaving in Sebastian's car.He then
quickly grabbed a random guy who was standing beside him.
"Who left with Mr.Wyance just now?" he asked in a panicked tone.
The guy looked frightened.He gawked at Eric for a moment before speaking.
"Nicole.He left with Nicole!" he said loudly.
‘Nicole.It really was Nicole" Eric thought.
He thought of what he said at the Riddle family's house and felt disheartened.
‘Nicole actually knows Mr.Wyance, so she wasn't talking big" he thought again.
At this thought, Eric unconsciously let go of the guy's collar.He paced around anxiously for a while.
Then, h e clapped his hands as if he had made up his mind and left.
Gary and Ms.Emerson were surrounded by the crowd; the two of them did not manage to catch up with
Nicole.He looked in the direction Nicole left and frowned.
‘What's going on? Nicole surpassed me in the Math Olympiad; she got a perfect score and won first
place.But she never even did any practice questions.What's more, she knows Sebastian Wyance!'
Gary thought.
He had many questions.
However, he was still stuck in the crowd.
Every single congratulatory He was the second place.
However, he still thought that Nicole—in first place—was a fraud.He was well aware that his current
score was his limit.He did not know how to solve the problem, and he still would not be able to do so if
given a second chance.
‘Nicole surpassed me without breaking a sweat" he thought.
Gary was feeling a mix of emotions.
On countless occasions, he had a gut feeling that Nicole was not what she seemed.
However, he foolishly chose to trust his judgment every single time.
Gary thought of the lonely silhouette from the day of the competition.He stared at the empty hall]
entrance and felt immense regret.
Meanwhile, Raine was also looking in the direction where Nicole had left.
‘I never imagined Nicole to win first place.What's more, she knows Mr.Wyance, the man everyone in
the Riddle family has been trying so hard to meet!’ she thought.
‘Did Nicole do this intentionally? She hid this from everyone and did not help our family on purpose.She
purposefully wanted me to make a fool out of myself!' she thought again.
She was outraged.
Norah was standing with the students from Class A.She had turned purple from rage.
Noah went beside her and whispered, "Norah, since Nicole is from the Riddle family, do you also know
Sebastian Wyance?"
‘Norah and Nicole are sisters, after all.Compared to the rest of us, she should have a better
understanding of Nicole's academic standards, right? What's more, Nicole must've met Sebastian
Wyance through the Riddle family" Noah thought.
Norah turned to glare at Noah.
‘Noah must be adding salt to my wound on purpose, ' she thought.
"I have no idea how she got such a score.I also don't know how she knows Mr.Wyance.All I know is
that she's merely a country bumpkin from Great Oak and has a decent-looking..."
Noah stared at her with his mouth wide open when she said the second sentence.He seemed to
understand what she said.
‘Does Nicole and Mr.Wyance have that kind of relationship?’ he wondered.
Vivian arrived just in time to hear Norah's words.She narrowed her eyes.
‘If what Norah said is true, then all of this would make sense!' she thought.
She turned to look at Ms.Emerson and Gary with a jealous and unresigned expression.
