Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Tina said to Nichole, “I think she just

just wants t

to steal your boyfriend, that’s why she’s here.”

Nichole’s face tumed pale, and she didn’t take in a word of what the others were saying. Sophie had arrived. Wouldn’t all the lies she spread be easily exposed now? Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Are you okay, honey?” Krystal waved her hand in front of Nichole’s eyes.

Nichole snapped back to reality. “L. I’m fine, I just feel a bit under the weather. I think I’ll skip class this afternoon,”

Nichole lay alone on her bed, her mind racing with thoughts of how Sophie could have gotten into Eastwood College.

Could it be that Sophie didn’t need James, but had paid her own way into Eastwood College?

At that thought, Nichole clenched her comforter tightly. She had worked so hard and studied for years to get into Eastwood College, but those bom with a silver spoon just have everything handed to them. They can fulfill her lifelong dream with just a bit of money.

Why should they?

Nichole felt so unjust.

Once everyone in the dorm had left, Nichole called James. Unlike before, she had to wait a long time before the call was picked up.

Previously, no matter how busy he was, James always answered her calls immediately.

“Mr. Burke, Sophie got into the graduate program, right?” Nichole’s voice sounded choked up, clearly having just cried.

James hesitated before replying. “Yes.”

“Why was it so easy for Sophie to get into the graduate program? I have checked this year’s exam. It was incredibly difficult.”

Nichole’s tone was accusatory.

James knew how much she wanted to get into Eastwood College’s graduate program. There were only a few guaranteed spots each year. Just a word from James would have secured her a place as a graduate student at Eastwood College, but he insisted that she earn it on her own, never offering to pull any strings for her.

Now, Sophie had gotten in so easily.

James remained silent on the other end. He didn’t know how to respond, especially since Sophie had never had a formal education in finance. If someone without a financial background suddenly got into a top financial institution, there was only one explanation.

Nepotism.

“Keep your chin up

up and focus on your studies. Even if you don’t get into the graduate program, I’ll arrange for Eastwood College to sponsor your study abroad. That might suit you even better than a local master’s program,

James finally said.

Hearing this, Nichole was even more convinced that Sophie had used her connections to get into Eastwood College,

Studying abroad was certainly better, but she also didn’t want to give up on graduate studies at Eastwood College. After all, Eastwood College was internationally renowned, and being a graduate student here was even more prestigious than studying abroad.

But to secure a better future, she couldn’t afford to lose James‘ support now.

Thinking this, Nichole softly said, “Mr. Burke, are you still upset with me?”

‘Nichole…”

“I know I was foolish, and you’ve been so good to me. I’m grateful, and I want to thank you. I’m sorry,

I won’t do it again.”

“It’s best you think this way” James‘ tone softened, “If your foot is still hurting, give me a call, and I’ll have Colt take you to the hospital”

“Okay.”

After a brief exchange, Nichole hung up the phone, but a hint of sadness flickered in her eyes.

In the past, if she mentioned feeling unwell, James would have come personally.

But now…

Was it because of Sophie?

Nichole clearly remembered that James used to dislike Sophie.

“No, I cannot let her steal James froph me, never.”
