Chapter 695
Love, indeed, is a poison.Nicole kept a good mood all the way back to class.Vivian, who sat in the first row, saw her at once. But instead of taunting Nicole, she looked at her as if she was in a predicament.
Nicole ignored it, went straight back to her table, and sat down. Lulu had not arrived yet. She could faintly hear the discussion in the class.
“Do you know Bobby from twelfth grade, who wants to replace Austin as a school bully? His family has been fixed by the Bond family.”
“The Bond family, a giant of the entertainment industry in San Joto?”
“Who else if not them? Can you name another Bond family in San Joto? I heard that Bobby’s brother Nathan got into trouble with a VIP at a club last night. It is said that today the Holmes family is liquidating its assets and leaving San Joto.”
“Really? Who is so powerful? The Holmes family got into trouble because of Ashley last time. This time, the entire Holmes family is being driven out of San Joto?”
“I don’t know. But I heard it’s not an ordinary person. By the way, Sammey seems to know.”
“Sammey-Vivian’s brother?”
Everyone looked at Vivian, but Vivian was keeping her head low as if he was afraid that others would ask her. Everyone could only guess who could deal such a devastating blow to the stubborn Holmes family.
Nicole kept silent, not wanting anyone to talk about him again.
Austin came to Class B. As soon as he saw Nicole, he sat down with a smiling face. “Boss, you know what? The family of Bobby, who has been provoking me all this time, has moved out of Northon.”
Thinking that no one had heard the news, he happily continued. “What karma. You may not already know, Boss. Bobby is finished. His underlings bowed and scraped to me, admired my insight for following such a powerful boss, and begged me to take them.”
Nicole could not help but frown. “Didn’t I tell you that you were no longer a gangster and that you must study hard from now on?”
Austin immediately nodded. “Don’t worry, Boss. I’m not going to take those snobs, but I will let them follow whoever they like. I promised you I would study hard, and I would not fail you.”
