Hearing this, Nichole panicked and tried to exin, “Maybe she’s just bluffing, who knows what she’s


    thinking? Let’s drop it, we should just enjoy our meal.”


    Krystal managed to suppress her doubts upon hearing Nichole’s words.


    However, Tina noticed something was off. She wasn’t as naive as Krystal to take Nichole’s words at


    face value. Nichole’s reaction had given Tina a hint that something was emiss,


    “Let’s continue our n to follow that woman tonight. Tina spoke out unexpectedly.


    “Yeah. We need to follow her. I need to catch concrete proof to show Harold that woman is up to no


    good”


    Nichole’s expression grew even darker. She had thought that after the earlier incident, Tina and Krystal


    would drop the idea, but to her dismay, Tina was still proposing they follow Sophie.


    “Nichole, you’ll join us, right?” Tina looked at Nichole tentatively.


    Nichole forced a smile and said, “Of course, I promised you both, so I’ll definitely go with you”


    Spotting the forced smile on Nichole’s face, Tina became even more convinced of her suspicions.


    Nichole was lying, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what the lie was about yet.


    As the evening grew darker, Krystal followed Sophie closely, with Tina and Nichole right behind.


    Nichole was nervous, fearing that James mighte to pick Sophie up today.


    “I’ve checked already, she’s not a boarding student. No one has seen her in the girls‘ dorm: Tina’s


    information was always reliable.


    “She’s amuter then,” Krystal said disdainfully. “She probably can’t afford the dorm fees. After all,


    it’s twenty thousand a year, not something every family can handle. A girl like her, she only deserves to


    commute.”


    This time, Tina didn’t join the conversation, but Nichole said, “Krystal, don’t talk about her like that.


    Everyone has their own difficulties, maybe she had no choice?”

    With those words, Nichole inadvertently confirmed Sophie’s alleged indiscretions.

    Tina felt a stir in her heart.


    Krystal anxiously said, “Nichole, you’re too kind. How can you still speak for her? Did you forget how


    arrogant she was in the cafeteria today?”


    Nichole remained silent.


    “Hurry! She’s leaving. Follow her.” Tina’s sudden outburst refocused everyone’s attention.


    They saw Sophie leave the school gates and instead of heading to the subway or bus station, she


    walked across to a high–end residential area.


    “That’s strange. Where is she going?” Krystal wondered aloud.


    “Yeah, it’s thiste already. She’s not possibly going home, is she?”


    As Tina and Krystal pondered, Sophie pulled out a card and entered the residential area.


    Afraid of losing track of Sophie, Krystal ran after her but was quickly stopped by a security guard,


    “Hello, please show your resident identity card.”


    “Resident card? I… I’m here to visit a friend.” Krystal had never heard of a resident identity card before.


    “Could you tell me which building and apartment your friend lives in? We will call to confirm.”


    “No need to co


    confirm. The person who just went in, that’s my friend.”
