Chapter 242 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• When Mrs. Wallace Sr. saw Nicole walk out of the classroom, her cloudy eyes lit up. She quickly approached Nicole. Nicole watched as Mrs. Wallace Sr. gradually got closer. Her cold gaze started to turn into one that was soft. She held Mrs. Wallace Sr.’s boney hands and said in a low voice, “What’re you doing here, grandma?” Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at the granddaughter she raised single-handedly and smiled. She then patted her arm and said, “I missed you. Coincidentally, your class teacher wanted to see you as well, so he brought me along.”
• Only then did Nicole notice the middle-aged man standing beside her. The man did not have a chance to join the conversation. He was her previous class teacher, Mr. Mills. She did not expect him to be able to continue working at their school. Nicole gave him a once-over when she saw his tightly clasped hands. He was sweating buckets and seemed as though he had trouble speaking his mind. Nicole instantly knew what he was doing here. Before her brothers left Great Oak, they mentioned that they would donate a sum of money to expand the campus.
• ‘Mr. Mills must have been sent by the headmaster to ask for investments. It hasn’t even been a month. They really are a bunch of opportunists.,’ she thought. Mr. Mills had always been scared of Nicole. Ever since Nicole crossed paths with the headmaster, the two of them have been ignoring her. There were even times when he tried to kick her out of school. He managed to stay by using the excuses that he had taught Nicole for many years and that he would wait for their family’s investment. However, Nicole’s family has not contacted the school since she left.
