Chapter 42
Monica frowned. Nicole wanted to go back to school? What game was the playing at now?
Monicaw that over the years, her decision not to further her studies had always been a soupe of disappointment for teldi
But the problem was that she had gotten into university through illegitimate means. If the continued her studies, wouldn’t that have expound everyth
Nicole knew that going back to school would make Heidi like her more. This made Monica pot her guard op
She immediately stepped forward and said softly. “Mom, is Nicole furthering her studies? I didn’t contine mine because I wanted to help had with the umpany
“But if you’re letting her go, maybe I can go with her? That way, we can look out for eachother
Heidi’s expression darkened slightly at Monica’s words.
She wasn’t a fool. She knew Monica wanted everything that Nicole had. But whatever Nicole had missed, Monica had already gotten over the years.
When Heidi brought Monica back from the orphanage, she treated her with great care. It was as if she was trying to make up for the daughter she had lost.
Heids cleared her throat. Her tone was low but had a playful edge. “That’s great, Monica! Since you want to go back to school too, how about I arrange for you to study abroad? The conditions are better there, and it’ll be the university you’ve always wanted to attend,”
Study abroad?
Monica had wanted to go abroad back then. But she was the only child in the family, so if she studied overseas, Heidi would have followed
Monica was certain that Heidi wanted to send her overseas just to push her out. That way, Nicole would be the only daughter left in the Boyd family!
Monica’s expression immediately soured. She said, “Mom, if I go abroad to study now, it’ll be hard for me to come back. Can you bear to have me leave your side? “Or did you think that with me gone, you and Nicole can finally spend more time together?”
As she watched Monica’s resentful expression, Nicole couldn’t help but narrow her eyes.
How had she never noticed the red mole on Monica’s neck before? That mole felt strangely familiar to Nicole.
Something flickered in her eyes. She felt she had seen it before, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
Why was Monica so wary of Nicole? What was she afraid of?
Nicole’s expression remained unchanged as she spoke up. “Mom, it’s fine. Let Monica further her studies with me. I don’t mind.”
Heidi had intended to send Monica abroad to avoid conflict between the two of them. She didn’t expect Nicole to not mind at all. After staring at Nicole in surprise, Heidi’s eyes were filled with affection
“Nicole, I’ll do whatever you want.”
That was the only reason Monica was allowed to stay. If she had gone abroad, she wouldn’t have been able to do anything at all.
Monica watched as Nicole tumed to head upstairs. Her gaze slowly darkened with malice.
The next day, Nicole woke up early and came downstairs to find Aaron sitting there rigidly. He appeared composed while chatting and drinking tea with Heidi
Nicole was momentarily stunned by the sight and couldn’t react right away,
¡teldi waved at and called out, “Nicole, hurry up and come down. Don’t keep Mr. Compton waltung all day‘
Had he been waiting for a long time?
What did he come to see lart for?
