Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 1160

Chapter 1160 It Was a Misunderstanding

Nicole merely looked at Natasha with mirth dancing in her eyes and chuckled softly.

The science academy? She wasn't the least bit afraid even if Logan had decided to personally deal with her. So, it was nothing but short of foolish of Natasha to even threaten her.

Regardless, Nicole didn't see a need in informing Natasha about that little tidbit. Instead, she shook Natasha's hand off her person and left without another word. The other woman glared at Nicole resentfully and clenched her fists tightly. Still, she knew that she wouldn't leave with her tail tucked behind her legs now that she had finally gotten into the science academy. She couldn't just leave because of Nicole.

But Nicole was an anomaly that she couldn't control, and she had no intentions of allowing Nicole to remain in the science academy as long as she was around. She needed to get rid of such an unpredictable element so that Nicole wouldn't be an obstacle to her road to success!

As she thought of this, her face darkened. She had to come up with a good plan and drive Nicole out of the science academy once and for all!

When Nicole left, she walked without looking back. Suddenly, Logan called out to her, "Nicole, stop right there." Logan leaned on his cane while Ryan followed behind him.

Nicole stopped in her tracks. When she looked toward the source of the voice, there wasn't a hint of emotion in her tranquil eyes. It was as calm as a pool of stagnant water. "Yes?" she asked coldly.

Logan narrowed his eyes at her, sizing her up and down. Then, he demanded, "Did you destroy the test lab?" Nicole pursed her lips and then said with a bland smile, "That place was practically a black market. I would hazard a guess that the executives there were lining their pockets doing all sorts of shady businesses and be right about it. Plus, aren't they selling organs? They've done so many other vicious and shameful things, like say, human experimentation. Are you saying that there's a purpose for allowing such an existence to continue?"

Nicole moved closer to the men as she spoke. Then, she whispered, "The science academy is nothing but a pretty coat that you hide under. And as for the true you underneath all that bells and whistles… Well, I'd say that it's nothing short of repulsive."

Logan was infuriated by Nicole's words. So, he clenched his fists as he bellowed, "How dare you?! Who are you to question me?!"

Nicole shrugged her shoulders indifferently. "Then, I'd suggest leaving me alone since you're not interested in my opinions."

After she said her piece, she had no intention of lingering. Alas, she had just taken a few steps, when she was manhandled by Logan. His voice was filled with malevolence as he snarled, "Nicole, I've put half my life into that test lab. How dare you?!"

Nicole simply smiled at Logan as she drawled, "Then, you should guard the other half of your life, or I'll destroy it too."

She left her words hanging heavily in the air and turned to leave.

Logan glared at Nicole's retreating figure and tightened his hand around his cane. Nicole!

"Grandpa," Ryan called out to Logan. When he caught sight of Logan's gloomy expression, he inquired tentatively, "How do you plan to deal with this?"

Logan inhaled deeply and sighed. He had already harbored a grudge against Nicole because of White prior to the destruction of his lab, but now that she had done such a thing, it was now personal. His eyes were calculative as he gritted his teeth and growled, "Since I can't deal with her publicly, then I'll do it secretly. I want Nicole's reputation to be utterly ruined and expelled from the science academy."

Ryan replied with a hum and lowered his eyes.

After Nicole left, she went straight to the lab. When she arrived, she not only asked Nathan for a recommendation letter but also for the right to enter the lab whenever she wished.

She was running out of time. She was worried that Colton would try something when he and Evelyn were alone together.

Although she knew that it was all because of Evelyn's machinations, she still couldn't accept that Colton would have any physical contact with other women. If something had truly happened between Colton and Evelyn, Nicole was certain that she would go crazy. Although they had endured several ups and downs as a couple, she wasn't sure that she could get over something like this.

As soon as she entered the laboratory, she received a call from Siobhan. Nicole could already guess what Siobhan would say as she answered the call.

"Nicole, did something happen between you and Colton?" Siobhan asked cautiously.

Siobhan was in utter shock when she received the call. Yet, when she finally came to, Colton wouldn't answer her calls.

She was a little worried, so she could only call Nicole for updates.

Nicole didn't know how to explain the entire thing, so she was silent for a while before replying, "It was a misunderstanding. Don't worry. I'll tell you everything when Colton and I return from our trip."
