Sophie instantly noticed the black suit Nichole was wearing, adorned with the Burke family crest on the chest. It was James' jacket.
“Ms. Sophie, Ms. Jenna…” Nichole greeted them with a smile. “What a coincidence.”
Jenna looked even worse than Sophie, especially after learning that James had hurt Sophie because of Nichole. Without a second thought, Jenna slapped Nichole right across the face.
Sophie couldn’t hold Jenna back in time, whose gaze turned icy.
Nichole’s eyes reddened instantly, tears welling up. “Ms. Jenna, what did I do? Why did you hit me?”
Nichole's tearful plea drew attention from students heading to their morning classes at Eastwood College, who only dared to watch from a distance.
Nichole was somewhat of a celebrity at Eastwood College, known not only for her outstanding achievements and good looks but also for her generally positive and kind image.
Most students had heard of Nichole’s good deeds. The boys, in particular, were protective of her.
“You ask why I hit you?” Jenna scoffed. “You spread rumors that Sophie is a gold-digger and slandered her on the school bulletin board! How can you be so shameless? Why are you clinging to someone else's husband?”
Nichole's tears streamed down her face. She looked like the whole world had misunderstood her. “Ms. Jenna, how can you insult me in front of all these people? I may be poor, but I have my dignity! I never did those things!”
Nichole's defiant expression continued, “You can't just slander me because Sophie is your close friend! I may be poor, but I won't let you tarnish my reputation! Even if you are wealthy, you can't just throw dirt on me like this!”
Jenna was angry but momentarily lost for words in the face of such moral coercion.
Sophie stepped in front of Jenna, amused by Nichole's act. “You are oor?”
Nichole still had that pitiful yet stubborn look as she faced Sophie.
Sophie had always just returned tit for tat with Nichole, never going too far or intending to make Nichole’s life at school unbearable.
But Nichole’s recent behavior had changed Sophie’s mind. She really shouldn’t have considered Nichole's dignity.

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
