My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 60

Nicole returned to her dorm room, handed her the meal she had brought for Lulu, and sat down to watch Lulu battle those keyboard warriors. Lulu saw Nicole was back and smiled at her. "Hey, you are back!" Nicole nodded.

"Here you go. Eat it now, or it will get cold."

Lulu looked over her shoulder, and her eyes lit up when she saw the takeaway packaging.

" Nicole, how do you know that I have always wanted to try The Grove's food? I tried many times but could not get a reservation. I didn't expect it to be delivered today."

The corner of Nicole's lips upturned as she said, "Try it quickly if you like it."

Lulu happily picked up a fork and tucked in while praising the chef, The Grove, for his cooking skills.

Halfway through the meal, she slowed down and asked Nicole cautiously, "I know that Samuel and Spencer are your brothers, but rumor has it that they also have some connection with Snow and Raine. So you, Snow, and Raine are..."

Lulu already had almost guessed it. It was just that she wanted to confirm it.

Nicole said in a nonchalant tone of voice.

"They are my second uncle's daughters." Lulu's eyes widened in astonishment.

"You guys are cousins?"

Nicole folded her arms, her eyes drifting into the distance.

"Well, we are relatives, but we don't know each other very well." Lulu looked at Nicole and was stunned. No wonder Nicole looked a little like Snow and Raine. But Nicole was still much better looking than them.

With Spencer and Samuel as her celebrity brothers and Snow and Raine - who were popular in school - as her cousins, Nicole had been low-key for so long. She never mentioned her family lineage Those gurus on the campus had found no useful information. Yet they boldly claimed that Nicole was a nobody.

Lulu started to admire Nicole. But something came to mind, and she asked doubtfully, "Since Samuel is your brother, why don't you tell everyone? Someone has posted a photo of you guys on the school forum. People say that you are dating two guys at the same time-"Lulu stopped abruptly. After all, she did not want Nicole to hear those nasty comments.

Nicole thought for a moment and threw the phone to Lulu.

"There is a video that you may replace useful."

At first, she had no intention of releasing the video clip. But now, she felt that kicking Ashley was too light of a punishment. Since it had implicated her brothers, she was not going to pursue the matter to the end.

"What is it about?" Lulu turned on the phone and was stunned to see the video of Ashley being angrily reprimanded by her stepmother.

"Oh my God! I didn't expect that the bullying girl would do such a disgusting thing. Once this message goes out, no one will read my post." With that, Nicole started to take off her coat. "Why didn't I think of that? Nicole, you are so smart!" She had been arguing with people for hours but to no avail. She did not expect Nicole to solve the crisis after going out for just a while. "But don't you really want to explain your relationship with Samuel and Spencer?" Lulu still hoped that she would tell the truth sooner so that her classmates would not look down on her. Nicole lazily leaned back in her chair, picked up a strand of her hair, and gently fiddled with it.

"If they know I am from the Riddle family, they would definitely ask me to pass their love letters to my brothers. That is too much trouble. I can't control what they say. They can say whatever they want as long as it doesn't affect my life." She would surely take action if it affected her life.

Lulu understood. The Riddle brothers were just as popular as Harvey and Gary at the Royal Creek Institute. With Nicole's trouble-aversion personality, she surely did not want to become a tool for passing love letters.

"Then I will upload this video now, squeezing out your posts," Lulu said with excitement. She held the phone in her hand like a righteous warrior holding the sword of victory, ready to keep on fighting It moved Nicole to see Lulu help her to clear her name. Just then, June had come back and pushed the door in.

When she saw Nicole, her face was filled with mixed feelings a she asked, "What is your relationship with Samuel?"

Nicole ignored her and went straight into the bathroom, ready to take a shower and then go to bed.

June did not pursue her question. She did not study at the desk like she usually did but lay on the bed and covered her head with a quilt. When Nicole came out of the shower, June simply turned off the lights. While drying her hair, Nicole was surprised to see June had gone to bed so early. But she still said nothing. She leaned lazily against the headboard and took out her phone to reply to her brothers' messages. She had just asked them to send her up to the school gate. They were sending her a message, asking if she had safely arrived.

Nicole glanced at June and replied to Samuel.

(Do you know June in our class?)

He replied almost instantaneously, (No.)

Nicole looked thoughtfully at June, who nestled in the quilt. She did not reply to the message again.

June left the bedroom alone the next morning. Nicole had noticed her red and swollen eyes, as if she had been crying.

Lulu had also noticed that June was avoiding her eyes. So she asked Nicole in puzzlement, "What is wrong with June? Her eyes are so red."

Nicole looked on and said nothing as June left. Lulu did not ask again. She quickly went to follow up on yesterday's post.

"Oh my God... Nicole! You have succeeded. As soon as the video clip of Ashley went online, the forum went crazy. No one is interested in your photo now."
