Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 79

After yesterday's incident, Sophie decided she wanted nothing more to do with Nichole, so she pretended not to see her and headed for the classroom door. "Sophie." Nichole hurriedly called out to her.

Sophie stopped in her tracks, looking at Nichole with a cool detachment. "Yes?"

Nichole bit her lip, clearly struggling to find the right words. "Sophie, I'm really sorry about yesterday."

She looked down, ashamed. "I had no idea Krystal was going to say those things to you. They all misunderstood you."

"You too?" Sophie's smile was tinged with irony, as if she could see right through Nichole.

Nichole quickly shook her head, disassociating herself, "Not at all. Sophie, how could I think that about you? I was trying to stop them yesterday. I wanted to explain..."

Sophie watched Nichole's dramatic plea with amused interest. She was actually curious to see what else Nichole would say.

As Sophie remained silent, Nichole suddenly reached out and grabbed Sophie's hands, her voice trembling. "Sophie, you won't blame me, do you?"

"Why would I? You're one of James' students. How could I possibly blame you?"

Sophie said, "You should head back to class. I won't mention this to James."

Relieved by Sophie's assurance, Nichole's tension eased.

Sophie didn't continue the conversation and turned to head back to the classroom. Just then, Nichole looked up and saw Tina, who was staring at them in confusion. Tina was puzzled, her face full of questions. She had come to see why Nichole hadn't gone up to class yet, only to stumble upon this scene.

Nichole acted on impulse. She knelt down and clung to Sophie's legs. "Please, don't take revenge on me and my friends."

Sophie frowned.

Students from the classroom and those from other classes on the same floor stuck their heads out, all curious about the scene unfolding. Nichole cried out, "I'll give you anything you want, but please, don't steal my boyfriend. I really love him!"

Sophie's expression grew colder.

Tina rushed forward to help Nichole up from the ground. "Gosh, Nichole! What are you doing? Get up and come with me." Tina pulled Nichole away, while Sophie watched them, her face expressionless. Nichole could not meet Sophie's gaze. "What's going on?"

Adler had just witnessed the drama unfold inside the classroom, but the show was confusing and unsatisfying for him. Sophie finally realized what Colby had said yesterday was true. Indeed, being too nice could lead to being taken advantage of.

Meanwhile, Tina was dragging Nichole away. "Nichole, why on earth did you kneel to her?"

"I... I just, I was afraid she would trouble you, so I wanted to talk to her privately." Nichole looked truly distressed.

Tina was skeptical of Nichole's explanation, but the sight of her kneeling and apologizing had dispelled some of her doubts. "Nichole, you wouldn't lie to us, right?"
