Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 83

Sophie nodded, recalling how Nichole had pleaded with her earlier.

"Where did she get a boyfriend from?" Adler asked, puzzled.

"How should I know?"

"And she's still hung up on James even though she has a boyfriend? This woman is something else." Adler expressed his disdain for such behavior.

"She says those things for others to hear. I don't believe she has any boyfriend other than James," Sophie said, putting down her fork and gathering the empty plates in front of her. "I'm done eating, you guys take your time."

Sophie stood up to leave.

Harold also put down his plate, saying, "I'm done too."

Adler was still munching, "Just a sec, I'll join ya."

In the evening, Nichole checked the recent quiz results in the dormitory, and her heart skipped a beat.

She had always been a top performer, but her grades had plummeted this time.

Her roommate, glancing at the score, gasped, "Nichole, how come you're ninth in the department? You've always been at the top, never slipped this much before."

Nichole quickly tucked away the results, forcing a smile, "I wasn’t feeling well during the last exam, so I didn't do too well. It's just a pop quiz, no big deal."

Hearing this, her roommate nodded, "I knew there had to be a reason. It's not like you to score so low."

Nichole struggled to keep smiling, dreading what James would think if he saw her grades.

Suddenly, Nichole's phone rang. It was Colt on the line, his voice calm but with a hint of coldness, "Ms. Nichole, please come down."

"Is Mr. Burke there to see me?" Nichole felt a flutter of excitement. It had been days since James had last thought of her.
