Chapter 1668
Karen and Dillion were stumped.
Though Nicole had mentioned that she was hurt, she did not show anyone the injury in the principal's office, so they all thought that the injury was minor. None of them knew that Nicole was so badly hurt.
At that moment, Mr. Riddle Sr. decided that he could not bear to watch any further. "Raine, what do you have to say for yourself?’”
The moment her grandfather yelled at her, Raine immediately knelt down. "G-Grandpa..."
She herself was not aware that Nicole was suffering such a serious injury as the latter still looked fine and dandy. She was able to argue her case with much conviction too.
Karen’s heart broke the instant she saw her daughter kneeling down. "Dad, Raine didn't know that Nicole was so badly injured... Please forgive her..."
"Did grandpa not forgive her, or were you and your daughter just trying to argue about who's right and who is wrong, Aunt Karen?" Nicole scoffed. 'Now you're backing down? Too little too late!'
Mr. Riddle Sr. had lost all his patience for Raine as well." You're in the wrong, yet you still came here to whine? How did your parents raise you?!"
In a single sentence, Mr. Riddle Sr. had lectured Raine and humiliated both Dillion and Karen! It was as if he was saying that Raine was not raised right.
Karen's grimace turned ugly, but she still held her tongue. After all, she still needed Mr. Riddle Sr.'s help.
"Dad, I admit that I have not taught her well, but you can't just sit and watch as your granddaughter get expelled, right? " Karen gritted her teeth.
She just wanted Mr. Riddle Sr. to help Raine out.
Unfortunately for her, Nicole saw through her act. "Aunt Karen, hasn't Mr. Ellison made it clear? A student like Raine would only tarnish our school's name! Do you really want her to stay in school and embarrass our family?"
"Nicole, you better shut it!" Dillion yelled, knowing that Nicole did not want Raine to attend the Royal Creek Institute anymore.
