Chapter 81
If she remembered correctly, the brothers of Snow and Raine, like her third brother Stanley, were in their
junior year, so they had long lived on campus and rarely came home.
Looking at the expensive scooter, Nicole gently raised an eyebrow. She was different from the girls in
Class A; scooters were her favorite. So she appreciated this kind of thing.
But the Riddle family did not like scooters, and Mr. Riddle Sr. strictly prohibited anyone from riding
scooters to and from school. So it seemed that Preston was daring.
He was not there now. Nicole continued to walk on.
A guy suddenly came out of the campus supermarket with a bottle of sports drink in his hand. He took off
his helmet, held back his head, and poured the drink down his neck, his sexy throat knot rolling up and
down. He then combed his sweaty, short hair back with his fingers, revealing an attractive face full of
vitality, causing girls around him to scream in admiration. 1
The guy was Preston, who heard the cry and frowned with an annoyed look.
A large part of the reason he did not want to come to school was that he hated these brainless idiots
gathering around and looking at him as if he was an animal in the zoo, which was really silly enough.
Thinking of this, he put on his helmet again and walked toward his scooter. Wearing a helmet limited his
viewing angle, so he bumped into Nicole.
Nicole frowned, looked up, and saw a guy wearing a black helmet. “Didn’t you keep your eyes on the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtroad while walking?”
Getting scolded, Preston’s face darkened, but when he saw her beauty, half of his anger disappeared.
He then remembered the recent rumor on the school forum. She looked like the girl who allegedly bullied
Snow, so he became brazen. “Was it me who didn’t pay attention, or was it you who mixed with the
school bully deliberately looking for trouble?” “What do you mean?” Nicole frowned. This guy bumped
into someone and did not apologize. How rude!’
“What do I mean?” Preston smiled and pressed a button on the helmet to open the voyeuristic black
mirror, revealing his handsome face. “I know that I have a lot of fans at school. I don’t mind if you are my
fan. But you deliberately bumped into me to create a chance encounter. Such a tactic is old-fashioned.”
Nicole almost laughed at the man’s imagination. “I am your fan? Are you some kind of celebrity? Stop
flattering yourself.”
Completely losing her patience, Nicole pushed Preston away with force. Preston did not expect her to
have such strength. He was pushed straight into the glass window of the supermarket! For the first time
in his life, he was so rudely pushed away. Preston was angry. “Damn you! How dare you push me!”
Not bothering him at all, Nicole left without even looking back.
Many people saw what happened; it was the first time they saw Preston looking so embarrassed.
A few female students said indignantly, “Nicole is too cocky.”
“She even dared to push Preston.”
“That is too much.”
Preston heard that and made a note of her name in his mind. “Nicole? I will remember you.”
Annoyed, he turned back to the motorcycle, straddled it, and started the engine. The nine million-dollar
machine screamed to life and roared away, scaring away the girls gathering around him.
Nicole had forgotten what had just happened and went straight back to the dormitory. But when she
arrived, she was surprised to find that the door was open.
It was only half-past seven. Lulu had clearly told hers that she must sleep late on weekends and would
not get up before 10.00 am. So how could the door have been opened?
But June always got up early. Maybe she went out to the library and forgot to close the door. So Nicole
entered her dorm room. To her surprise, they were all there. Lulu was sleeping, while June was a little
flustered, looking for something.
Nicole raised an eyebrow and walked to her table. Just as she was sitting down, she keenly found that
someone seemed to have touched her bedside table. She always carried her laptop with her, so she did
not lock the bedside table when she left. Looking at the table again, she noticed that the position of
several books had also shifted.
Nicole had an excellent memory, and she would remember where everything was when she left. It
seemed that someone had searched her belongings but did not find what they wanted, so things had
shifted positions, but nothing was missing. Someone must have come in at night while the other two
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwere sleeping, and these people probably rarely did this kind of thing, so they did not cover their tracks
well. With this in mind, a frosty look appeared in Nicole’s eyes. June had just noticed Nicole and greeted
her enthusiastically. “Hey, Nicole, you are back.” Nicole nodded gently. She noticed something wrong
with June’s expression, as if she was desperate. When she thought of her things being searched, Nicole
had almost guessed why June looked the way she looked.
“Is something missing, June?”
June looked at her in amazement, as if asking her how she knew. Something was indeed missing. It was
something most precious to her. Nicole looked at her knowingly. “The door was open when I came back,
but you seemed to be busy and might not have noticed it.”
June then looked at the door, and sure enough, it was open. Nicole thought they deliberately left it open,
so she did not close it when she came back
June became anxious, thinking that she might not have misplaced her things, but likely someone had
stolen them. Not knowing what to do, she subconsciously wanted to ask Nicole for help. “Nicole, I have
got a bracelet missing. Can you help me get it back?” *
At this time, Lulu sat up in bed, looking groggily at them while rubbing her eyes. Seeing that Lulu had
woken up, Nicole did not answer June but looked at Lulu. “June’s bracelet is missing. Please check if
you have anything missing, too.”
Lulu’s vision normalized again. Hearing that there might have been a thief, she quickly got up to check
her belongings. She cried and mourned after a while. “My necklace is missing, and my crystal hairpin is
not in the box. The thief is too much, taking two of my most expensive stuff at once.”
