My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 38

Wayne could not help but exclaim, "Nicole is so OP! Is she even a human?"

There were also mixed feelings in Jack's eyes. He casually asked, "Gary, even you could not defeat Nicole, right? No wonder she said she didn't need your protection. She's actually this tough!"

They did not receive any response from Gary, so they turned to look at him. Gary, who was usually insouciant, was frozen with his gaze fixated on Nicole. It was as if he was stunned by her. Jack was startled for a moment. Then, he teased Gary. "Gary, are you fascinated by her?" It was only then Gary came to his senses. Although he heard what Jack said, he did not bother to refute him.

It seemed like Nicole did not need his help at all. At the thought of this, Gary's eyes tainted with ambivalence. He turned around and spoke to the two of them, "Let's go!"

Nicole did not notice the three of them leaving. She was looking down at those thugs with furrowed brows.

'These boys are so incompetent. They are far inferior to the robot soldiers I trained, yet they have the balls to bully others?'

Nicole stopped thinking about these. She walked to the side to pick up her bag and then carried Bradley, who was still in shock. She was going to send him to the hospital. After that day's chaos, Nicole was not in the mood to go for dorm viewing. She planned to head back to the Riddle family's residence instead. She whipped out her phone and called the Riddle family's driver to send them to the hospital. Nicole was still supporting Bradley. It was only when they had arrived at the school's entrance that he managed to take a breather. He spoke with difficulty, "Nicole, thank you for avenging me. But you're really good! None of them could defeat you!"

Bradley sounded excited as he spoke.

Nicole smiled indifferently. Bradley suffered because of her, so she would not let his suffering be in vain.

As the two were chatting, the driver arrived. He was surprised to see Nicole looking shabby, But he did not comment or ask about it. Instead, he sent them to the best hospital in San Joto.

During the consultation, Bradley was very reserved as he had never been to such a top-tier hospital. On the other hand, Nicole was expressionless. All she wanted was for Bradley to recover as soon as possible. He was such a bookworm. She hoped his injuries would not affect his revision for the upcoming test.

Bradley saw that Nicole did not blink while she was paying the whopping medical bills. Then, he looked at the Riddle family's driver who was running up and down. It was at that point that he realized Nicole's family background was not simple. After the doctor left, Bradley pulled

Nicole's sleeve and said sorrily, "Nicole, I'll definitely pay you back." Nicole knew that although Bradley came from the well-to-do Robertson family, he was the second son that was not loved. The pocket money his parents gave him was not much. Hence, he could not possibly have money to repay her. Furthermore, the thugs were here for Nicole. Bradley was only dragged into this mess because of her. Nicole gave him a reassuring smile. "I don't need you to repay me. Just make sure that your exam grades for this month are still at the top ranking." Seeing that she was serious about it, Bradley nodded vigorously. "I will definitely work hard for it!"

The driver's eyes also widened in astonishment upon seeing Nicole pay for the expensive bills without hesitation.

He could clearly see that the card Nicole used to make payment was not the gold card given by the Riddle family. Instead, it was a plain black card. As a driver for the Riddle family, he had witnessed all sorts of situations. With just a glance, he could tell it was a supreme black card. There were only ten supreme black cards in the world. It had no spending limit and was also a status symbol. Those who managed to get their hands on it are of the world's top elites. Anyone in prestigious events would recognize the uniqueness of this black card.

The hospital was the best in San Joto. And the doctor's respectful attitude proved that he was right about Nicole. The driver wiped off the sweat from his forehead and looked at Nicole with more respect. After sending Bradley back to school, Nicole ordered the driver to drive her back to the Riddle's Residence.

As soon as she stepped into the house, Gloria welcomed her with a hug. She examined her, from head to toe. "I heard from Joe that you went to the hospital. Did you get hurt? Let me have a look." Daniel also stared at her nervously. A man like him was not capable of caring words, but the expression on his face said it all.

Looking at how caring everyone was to her, Nicole felt warm inside her. She answered in a soft voice, "I'm fine. My classmate was hurt, so I brought him to the hospital. You guys have nothing to worry about." Realizing their dubious expression, she could not help but briefly explain the whole situation to them.

It was only then that Gloria let loose. She turned around and looked at her sons standing in a row against the wall. It was obvious that Stanley rushed over. His collar was untidied. Spencer and Samuel seemed like they had just received a scolding. Their heads were lowered as they dared not to speak. Samuel noticed that Nicole was back; he gave her a slight wink. Nicole thought it was funny. She spotted Gloria, who was about to get angry again, so she

pulled her arms.

"I'm hungry."

As soon as Gloria heard that her daughter was hungry, she did not bother to scold her sons. Instead, she quickly ordered the kitchen to prepare a meal. Samuel smiled at Nicole, full of gratitude. He had been listening to Gloria's nag the whole day; he could not bear another one.

But seeing his expressionless sister, he felt a sense of guilt again. They failed to protect their own younger sister from bullies again.

At the thought of this, he held Nicole's hands. "Nicole, it was my fault that I didn't take care of you. When I have the chance, I'll make sure to head to Northon Institute and avenge you," said Samuel
