Chapter 96
Except for her achievement in the Math Olympiad, Nicole had nothing to show in other areas. But Austin
had no qualms about accepting Nicole’s offer, and that made Raine angry. Austin was in the same grade
as her, who was sitting in front of them and the top student in 12th grade. Austin had snubbed her by
doing that. She sneered when thinking of this. “I admire Nicole’s courage. She herself was at the bottom
of the barrel yet wanted to give Austin tuition. She should have more self-awareness.” Raine echoed.
“Yeah, she is really audacious enough to do that. Let’s wait and see how she embarrasses herself.” Gary
had no appetite and felt depressed when the thought of the bet between Nicole and Mr. Kennedy came
to mind. The Math Olympiad would be held one day before the monthly exam, so his time was tight. With

with his bag. Raine looked melancholily at Gary and stomped her feet in hatred as he went. “It is all
Nicole’s fault! It affects Gary’s appetite again!” As she spoke, she glanced at Nicole and Lulu, who were
queuing in line. The longer she looked, the more upset she became.
Having spotted an opportunity, Norah said, “Don’t worry, we don’t need to do anything now because she
is going to make an exhibition of herself soon.”
‘Both the Math Olympiad competition and the monthly exam were just around the corner. Everyone
would see Nicole’s true colors. When the time comes, I will add fuel to the fire and make her reputation
stink By then, Jared will ditch her.’Norah smiled triumphantly at the thought that she would soon beat
Raine and Snow and gain Jared’s favor.
What Norah said quickly calmed Raine down, and a sneer crept across Raine’s face. She would like to
take a good look at how long Nicole could remain smug.
After the lunch break, the news that Nicole was going to give Austin tuition spread. Many people were
gloating and laughed at Nicole for biting off more than she could chew.
Nicole was sitting in her seat. Bradley, sitting next to her, looked over and whispered at Nicole after
seeing the school forum. “Nicole, are you really going to give Austin tuition?” Nicole flipped through the
book in her hand. “I just asked him to ask me questions he didn’t know.”
Bradley was just about to say something, but Jack in the back could no longer sit still. At first, Jack had
changed his mind about Nicole. But she had not only refused Gary’s help but also promised something
that she could not deliver. Now Gary was studying desperately every day, worried that he would

give Austin tuition in this tense moment. So Jack disliked Nicole now. She had scored zero on the test.
What made her think
she could teach others? If she had the time, she should run errands for Gary instead.
Jack could not help but sneer. “Be more self-aware, Nicole. Why would others seek your advice when
you have scored zero? Even if Austin is not as great as others, he is still in the top ten.”
Speaking of this, Jack paused for a few seconds before he continued. “You care so much about Austin,
but why don’t you see how much Gary has done for you? Gary is studying hard to make up for your big
talk, yet you show no gratitude for him at all. Don’t you think you are going too far?”
His speech was so impassioned that he even felt righteous. But Nicole did not even look at him but lazily
rested her head on her hand and flipped through the book
Jack banged the table with anger. “This is enough, Nicole! At first, I thought you were just reserved and
not a bad person. But I was wrong. You are really the same as what was written on the school forum:
cold-blooded and violent.”
