Chapter 2317
Karen knew Gloria was blaming her and said displeasingly, "I was just being nice. It's not like I did it on purpose."
"Karen, no one said you did. But if you can't even hold a spoon steadily, why don't you let someone else do the job?" Daniel was irritated, annoyed that Karen could still act so righteous after she had burned someone.
"I'll do it." Emma came to the rescue when she noticed the unsettled mood of the room. Everyone was together having a meal, and it would not look good if they argued in front of Mr. Riddle Sr.
Emma began to serve the soup to everyone while the others calmed down. However, the atmosphere in the room was even more eerie.
Gloria, face pale, worried about Nicole as Daniel softly comforted her. Deep down, Karen was quite satisfied with the situation now, but she did not dare to show it and pretended to look aggrieved. In fact, she had done it on purpose.
Just as Nicole was about to refill her bowl, Karen had let go of her spoon to let it fall into the soup bowl. The splashing soup naturally landed on Nicole's arm. Even if the burning splash did not scar, it would definitely hurt a bit.
So Nicole and Sean went into a guest home upstairs.
"How is it? Is it bad?" Sean asked.
Nicole let down the hand that she had been holding over her arm and said, "I'm fine."
Sean glanced and realized that Nicole had no red marks on her. He was slightly surprised. "It didn't burn you!"
"She wishes it was that easy to burn me," Nicole sneered.
"You're really something..." Sean chuckled, seeing through Nicole's intentions. At first, he was worried for her, but he never expected it to be all a trick. Nicole was not scalded at all.
