Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 43

Tina said to Nichole, "I think she just wants to steal your boyfriend, that's why she's here."

Nichole's face turned pale, and she didn't take in a word of what the others were saying. Sophie had arrived. Wouldn't all the lies she spread be easily exposed now?

"Are you okay, honey?" Krystal waved her hand in front of Nichole's eyes.

Nichole snapped back to reality, "I... I'm fine, I just feel a bit under the weather. I think I'll skip class this afternoon."

Nichole lay alone on her bed, her mind racing with thoughts of how Sophie could have gotten into Eastwood College.

Could it be that Sophie didn't need James, but had paid her own way into Eastwood College?

At that thought, Nichole clenched her comforter tightly. She had worked so hard and studied for years to get into Eastwood College, but those born with a silver spoon just have everything handed to them. They can fulfill her lifelong dream with just a bit of money.

Why should they?

Nichole felt so unjust.

Once everyone in the dorm had left, Nichole called James. Unlike before, she had to wait a long time before the call was picked up.

Previously, no matter how busy he was, James always answered her calls immediately.

"Mr. Burke, Sophie got into the graduate program, right?" Nichole's voice sounded choked up, clearly having just cried.

James hesitated before replying, "Yes."

"Why was it so easy for Sophie to get into the graduate program? I have checked this year’s exam. It was incredibly difficult."

Nichole's tone was accusatory.

James knew how much she wanted to get into Eastwood College's graduate program. There were only a few guaranteed spots each year. Just a word from James would have secured her a place as a graduate student at Eastwood College, but he insisted that she earn it on her own, never offering to pull any strings for her.

Now, Sophie had gotten in so easily.
