My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 48

Lulu knew that Nicole did not log on to the school forum very often, which meant that she did not know

about these things. Nicole heard her and pulled out her phone to check the school forum. She

immediately saw the post with a picture of herself with a cold expression and Snow, who was wiping

her tears from the corner of her eyes. The picture was taken from a very good angle, showcasing Snow

biting her lips, eyes reddened.

How pretty. The comments were basically insults against Nicole, saying that she had gotten too full of

herself after being the beauty queen and started to bully Snow. Additionally, some people were so

extreme that they were sending death threats, saying that they will kill Nicole to avenge Snow, which

obviously showed that they were Snow’s fans.

Nicole thought about the incident and realized that this picture was taken when Snow was telling her

that she would not cause trouble again. So, in the picture was Snow’s worried expression.

Back then, Nicole had already felt like Snow was too much. She did not think that someone would take

a picture of that scene. Was not everything too coincidental?

Nicole continued to scroll down and actually found Snow’s response toward this matter.” Don’t talk

about Nicole like this, guys. She’s pretty, so it’s natural for her to be arrogant. I’m really fine. Thanks for

all your concerns.”

Snow would die before she admitted that Nicole was prettier than her. She was even gritting her teeth

in anger when she thought of Nicole’s face as she typed that comment.

However, her reply indicated that Nicole had really bullied her. So her fans were all heartbroken for her,

saying that they would definitely make Nicole pay. Even the people who did not know what happened

were criticizing Nicole. Nicole arched her brows when she saw this. ‘Snow really knows how to play the

victim card,’ Nicole thought. However, this could explain where the rock that was aimed at her came

from. Nicole figured that the boy was Snow’s fan, so he was just avenging Snow.

Nicole refreshed the school forum and noticed that some people were still fishing for her background

and her personal details. But their skills were too weak, so they could not even break the first firewall

she set up.

Since the top students in school could not search anything about Nicole’s background, they were all

saying that Nicole had no history at all, so she did not deserve to be crowned the beauty queen!

Nicole read those words half-heartedly as she rubbed her damp hair in her towel. Her fair arm was

exposed under her bathrobe, so she looked even more ethereal with the contrast of her soot-black hair.

She looked at the posts expressionlessly as if the discussions were not about her. Lulu could not help

but ask from the upper bunk, “Nicole, everyone is going crazy on the school forum saying that you’re

not on the same level as Snow and that you don’t deserve to be the beauty queen. What are you going

to do?”

Nicole responded lazily, “Nothing much.” She then cleaned up her bed after speaking and threw her

phone aside like none of these were affecting her.

Even June took some time out from studying to look at Nicole, which was rare. June thought Nicole

would act like other girls, getting angry and frustrated. She did not expect Nicole to act as if nothing had

happened. June looked at the time and saw that it was already half-past ten at night. So, she just

switched off the lights without considering the fact that Nicole was still cleaning up. Nicole paused for a

while, but her night vision was fairly good, so she just continued to clean up her bed nonchalantly.

Lulu popped her head out from the upper bunk and said, “Don’t be angry, Nicole. June has always

acted like this. She won’t care about what you’re doing because she has to sleep at ten thirty at night

when we’re only asked to switch off the lights at eleven o’clock at night!”

Nicole just responded with an “Mmm,” indicating that she got it.

Lulu popped her head back in. She had already gotten used to June switching off the lights at her own

will, so she had already washed herself up and was ready to sleep. Nicole was going to sleep when Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

she saw both of her roommates sleeping. At that moment, her ringtone went off. Nicole took her phone

and looked at the phone number, which was an encrypted number. Her indifferent gaze immediately

changed when she saw that number. She looked at her roommates, who were asleep, and sneaked out

from her bed to leave the room, not making any noise.

She paused for a while and answered the call.

The response she got from the other end of the phone was just the whistling wind. No one spoke.

Nicole listened to the silence and asked, “Carl?”

Both Carl and Nicole made a promise to pause for ten seconds when they called each other to confirm

their identity.

A faint laugh echoed from the other end. “I knew you’d recognize me.”

Nicole knew that he was alright after listening to his cheeky voice, so she was finally relieved.

Nicole sighed. “You’re still alive, Carl. This is great.”

Carl did not respond after hearing Nicole’s words, and Nicole could only hear the sound of his

breaths.

“Nicole, you know, when I was close to dying, I only wanted to see you.”

His words melted Nicole’s heart for a while. Before Nicole had her family, the person who was the

closest to her was Carl. To her, Carl was just like her real brother. So, she could really understand what

he was feeling.

“I’ve always wanted to see you too…” Her voice trembled, which had never happened before.
