Chapter 2070
Karen looked at Nicole and sneered. "We're having a meeting, and you chose this specific time to visit your Grandpa. What a coincidence, huh?"
"Why didn't anyone notify me about this meeting?" Nicole pretended to be confused.
"Don't you see that it's only among the elders? You're young, so you don't have to join us." Karen scoffed.
Nicole's gaze fell onto Raine. "So did Raine join on your behalf because your memory is deteriorating?"
"Why, you!" Karen was speechless and unable to refute. All she could do was glare at Nicole fiercely.
She had already told Raine to wait at home, but Raine had insisted on coming along, which was why she was in a difficult position now.
"I came to visit Grandpa too. I didn't expect to encounter the elders having a meeting. Why don't we go out for a walk, Nicole?" Raine displayed a clever and understanding demeanor. She even used morality to pressure Nicole and make her leave.
Nicole's lips curled with a hint of amusement. "Have you seen Grandpa already?"
"Yes, I've paid my respects and chatted with him for a while, " Raine replied. She was confused but had no choice but to answer.
"In that case, you can leave first, Raine. After all, I just arrived and I still want to talk with Grandpa," Nicole said as took a seat with Jared.
Raine was furious as her face turned pale. She was outsmarted by Nicole once again. 'After all these years, Nicole is still sharp-tongued and quick-witted.'
What should I do now? I won't be able to hear anything if I leave, but I can't stay after saying those things earlier.'
"Raine, since Nicole decided to stay, let's stay as well. It might be awkward if they're the only younger ones present," Raine's husband, James, mediated immediately.
