After hearing the plan, Jenna clapped her hands enthusiastically. "That was brilliant!"
A faint smile appeared on Sophie's face. Honestly, she didn't mean to target Nichole on purpose, but since Nichole had been manipulative first, she couldn't just sit back and take it.
At noon, Nichole slowly descended from upstairs, her movements hindered by her bad leg, making the descent somewhat laborious. However, when she saw Marian busy in the living room, a sense of superiority welled up in her.
"Marian, I'm hungry. Time to make lunch," Nichole said sharply, without a hint of the fragility she had shown the previous night in James' arms.
Upon seeing Nichole, Marian was seething with frustration, her face a mask of discontent. However, Nichole was James' guest, and Marian could only reply, "Lunch isn’t until 12 o'clock. Those are the rules set by Mrs. Burke."
At the mention of Sophie, Nichole felt a sting in her heart.
"How can you be so incompetent? Didn't you hear me say I was hungry?" Nichole snapped, her tone harsh. Her temper had become volatile since her disfigurement.
Marian, feeling like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat, complied reluctantly. After all, Nichole was now the apple of James' eye.
Nichole settled contentedly on the sofa and turned on the television. There was no television in her school dormitory.
Apart from the television, even the guest rooms in the Burke family's home had the finest bedding. She had slept comfortably the night before and even looked forward to one day sleeping in the master bedroom.
Suddenly, there was a loud knock at the door.
Nichole frowned in displeasure, "Marian, didn't you hear someone knocking? Go answer it."

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.
