Chapter 407
What Nicole said made Norah’s body stiffen. She then turned around as her eyes widened.
‘Nicole?’
‘Why is she here?’ She had waited here for Samuel and Spencer on purpose and finally found the chance to get them to persuade her to go home. Unexpectedly, she ran straight into Nicole here.
‘Isn’t she supposed to be in class right now?’ Norah wondered.
“Why are you looking at me so surprised? Feeling guilty now?” Nicole raised her eyebrow. She had felt that it was odd that Snow suddenly lost her pink diamond, yet only she and her brothers returned home that night.
Snow and Raine would not be so stupid to be stealing their own things. Nicole could not help but think, ‘Then the only suspect here was….’ Norah immediately panicked.
“What nonsense are you spouting? Why would I feel guilty?” She quickly played innocent. “I know you don’t want me to go back home, so I won’t, but don’t you try to frame me.” Nicole raised her eyebrow.
“I haven’t even said what you’re feeling guilty for, so how did you tell I’m trying to frame you? Unless… you knew what Snow had lost?” When she said that, Samuel and Spencer looked at each other. “What are you trying to say, Nicole?”
‘Did Snow lose something? How come we didn’t know?’ the Riddle brothers wondered. Nicole looked at the two and said coldly, “Snow lost her pink diamond the day we went back to visit grandpa.”
Norah’s face immediately turned red. “What does losing her pink diamond have anything to do with me? What could I get out of it?”
Nicole frowned a little. “It might not do any good for you, but the first person her suspicion fell upon was me when she lost her diamond. Perhaps, it is to, you know, ‘frame’ me.”
With Norah’s back to the wall, her brothers were no longer asking her to go back home as they seemingly believed what Nicole said and were looking at her suspiciously.
Norah could not bear it any longer, so she could only cry. “Nicole, I know you don’t like me, but you cannot slander me like this! Back then, mommy and daddy and my brothers all dote on me, and they had not given me anything.
“I don’t care about that pink diamond! Now, mommy, daddy, and my brothers all dote on you… Everything is yours now. I’m already not going back home, so what more do you want? Is chasing me out of the house, not enough? Are you only satisfied when I’m finally sitting in jail?” Norah bawled as if Nicole was the one that was bullying her. Samuel and Spencer looked at each other and did not know what to say.
Samuel was the naive one and could not help but believe this little sister he had been living with for so many years.
“Nicole, let’s top suspecting Norah. Snow and Raine had been lying through their teeth. It might be them who are trying to frame you!”
