Sebastian glanced at Nicole on the opposite side, who was still expressionless.

"This girl is incredibly indifferent and reliable" he thought.

He then smiled and said, "Nicole, consider this piece of gem a reward for winning first place in the Math Olympiad."

Nicole picked up the gemstone and handed it back to Sebastian.

"Mr.Wyance, do keep this piece of gem for yourself. I appreciate the offer, but you've given me a lot ina year.I don't think there's enough space in my room anymore." Nicole knew that the gem meant something to Sebastian.

He took it with him wherever he went.

Thus, she did not want to take it away from him.

The coldness in her eyes melted away at the thought of how he had been silently taking care of her and her grandmother over the past few years.

Nicole did not expect to meet him under such circumstances since he was a busy man.

Moreover, she was not always in Great Oak.

Despite the two of them having contact for the past three years, they had only met a handful of times.

Sebastian shook his head and looked at Nicole with a gentle smile on his face.

"Take it, I insist."

Nicole acknowledged his sincerity and took the gemstone in her hands. She held onto it while feeling its smooth texture.

A faint smile appeared on Sebastian's face.

However, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"What brings you to San Joto?" He asked.

'She had always rejected my invitation to come to San Joto, yet now she's here at the Royal Creek Institute?' He glanced at Nicole for an answer.

Nicole was toying with the gemstone in her hands.

"When I was a child, I got lost. The Riddle family found me, so now I'm back," she said with a light and casual tone.

'I see. That's why the place card had "Nicole Riddle" instead of "Nicole Wallace" " he thought.

He looked at Nicole and realized she shared similarities with the Riddle family.

The tender proposal came to mind when he thought of the Riddle family.

"Since you're here, is there anything you need? You can always ask me for help."

'Ask him for help?' Nicole glanced at Sebastian and immediately understood what he was referring to. She knew that he would choose the Riddle family if she asked.

'But Sean and Steve's effort would be in vain" She did not want her family to win like this.

'We wouldn't be any different than the McCarthy family" Nicole then looked at Sebastian with a calm expression.

"I only ask for you to be just, Mr.Wyance."
