It would be impossible for Nicole to shake off Viola's ruthless gaze. To be exact, Nicole had also been paying attention to Viola the moment she entered the room.
Viola was colder than before and also crueler, which was hard to be disguised.
Nicole looked at Viola with a faint smile and said, "Why are you looking at me like you were going to eat me? What did I do wrong?"
Edwin frowned.
"What are you doing? Why are you staring at Nicole? It was me who had punished you. What? Did I get you wrong? You have a problem with me?"
Edwin said in such a harsh tone that Viola was immediately weakened, "No, Grandfather, how can I have a problem with you?"
"Stop being a wolf in a sheep’s clothing. If you weren't Audrey's daughter, I wouldn't care about you at all. You father didn't teach you well. How can you fit yourself in the society if you don't change your behaviors now?"
When Edwin thought of Dominic, he was furious.
Viola didn't dare to say anything. She lowered her head quickly, making it impossible for others to see her expression. No one knew what she was thinking.
Seeing this, Nicole only smiled slightly and said, "Grandfather, don't be angry. She still needs time. After all, she is my sister and one of the Shaws. She represents our family’s image, right?"
Hearing this, Viola quickly raised her head and glanced at Nicole with anger and coldness.
Nicole was clearly prompting Edwin to punish her, and she wasn’t trying to conceal her intention at all.
Nicole didn't care about whether Viola hated her or not. Why would they pretend to be sisters with so many contradictions between them?
She sneered and said to Edwin, "Grandfather, I have something I want to tell you. Shall we go to the study?"
Viola frowned again.
What did Nicole want to say to Edwin?
She even wanted to say it behind her back!
Was she thinking about urging Edwin to punish her again?
Viola felt that everything Edwin had done was a result of Nicole’s temptation, so she hated Nicole even more.
One day, she would make Nicole kneel in front of her and beg her!
Nicole didn't care what Viola was thinking. She looked at Edwin with anticipation.
Edwin certainly wouldn’t reject Nicole. He quickly put down the newspaper and smiled, "Alright, let's go to the study."
"Grandfather, take your time."
Nicole stood up and helped Edwin to his feet.
Edwin laughed and said, "I am indeed an old man, my dear Nicole, take care of me more!"
"You are not old at all. You become more vigorous with age."
Nicole was good at flattering Edwin.
Viola was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth when she saw how happy they were.
Nicole did not have the mood to argue with Viola now. She helped Edwin into the study and locked the door.
As Nicole acted so cautiously, Edwin's eyes darkened a little.
Viola’s presence really made things worse.
"Are you keeping an eye on her?"
"Sort of."
Nicole did not deny.
She helped Edwin to a chair and sat down. Then, she looked at Edwin seriously and asked, "Grandfather, do you remember what you gave Grandmother as the betrothal gift?"
Edwin stunned.
His eyes became a little blurry.
That old woman!
It seems to be a long time ago.
Seeing that Edwin had fallen into his memories, Nicole did not urge him. Instead, she walked to the side and took out a tea set to start making tea for him.
Edwin's tried to memorize for a long time, and he finally remembered what his wife looked like at the first sight.
At that time, she wore a shabby red cotton jacket. She was defined as a reactionary person due to her family, so she did not dare to look up at people when she walked.
How did he get to know her?
Oh, right. It was because someone was pulling at her clothes while criticizing her, so fiercely that her clothes were ripped up to shreds. At that time, as he was close to her, he was sympathized to the poor woman, so he involuntarily took off his coat and wrapped it around her.
At that time, she looked at him with a flash of gratefulness. Because his family enjoyed great power, Edwin was not punished for this action. Instead, she endured all the punishment for him.
At that time, people could not tell right from wrong. For outsiders, Edwin's kindness was the result of her deliberate seduction, so she was criticized even more.
