Gloria glanced at Daniel and gestured for him to make the call.
Daniel got the hint and got up to call Nicole while Norah was in the living room trying to calm Karen and Raine down.
“Nicole, are you up yet?” Daniel asked with a slightly urgent tone.
“Yup, Dad. What’s up? It’s still early in the morning.” Nicole could hear the urgency in Daniel’s tone.
“Raine and her mother came looking for you.”
Nicole immediately understood what Daniel meant. “I will be right back.” After she hung up the phone, she stepped on the gas pedal and drove to her father’s house.
“Nicole will be back soon. When she comes back, we will be clear once we ask.” Daniel’s face was no longer warm but cold.
“Tell her to hurry up. I don’t have that much time.”
Twenty minutes later, Nicole’s car was parked outside the house. As soon as she stepped out of the car, she heard Karen’s voice in the house. She went inside and saw five people sitting in the living room.
Karen’s anger flared up when she saw Nicole. “Look what you’ve done.”
Nicole swept an icy glance over at Karen and Raine, who was still crying. “What are you two doing here?”
“You beat Raine up. How could you do that? Hurry up and apologize to Raine,” Karen scolded Nicole in a stern voice.
“Apologize?” Nicole looked at Karen with amusement and a sneer. “Are you mistaken? She should thank me.”
“What did you say?” Karen stood up, wanting to hit her.
Nicole grasped Karen’s wrist and reminded her in a frosty voice. “You better be respectful as an elder, or it won’t look good on you if you lose your decency.”
“Let go,” Karen shouted angrily. “Nicole, be respectful.” Gloria scolded.
Nicole glanced at Gloria, then let go of Karen’s wrist.
“See? Now she even dares to hit me. What else can’t she do? That’s your good daughter.” Karen looked at Daniel and Gloria reproachfully.
Gloria was upset with the way Nicole had just behaved. Although Karen was nasty, she was, after all, Nicole’s elder, and Nicole should not have disrespected her elders.
“Nicole, apologize to your aunt.” Gloria scolded.
Nicole frowned and looked expressionlessly at Gloria.”.
She was the one who wanted to hit me. I was just defending myself. I’m not at fault.”
“You—”Gloria could not find a word to respond. “That’s enough. Let’s all stop arguing. I believe what Nicole said. There must be some kind of misunderstanding.”
“What misunderstanding? Raine is sitting right here. You can all see it. It’s a fact that she was beaten.” Karen still looked at Nicole with viciousness.
“Do you all still want to solve the problem? Everyone calm down,” said Daniel as he could not stand Karen anymore.
It was the first time Karen saw Daniel lose his temper. She was startled and instantly shut up.
Daniel calmed down a bit and looked at Nicole. “Were you there when Raine was beaten?”
“I was there.”
“Look, she was there.” Karen reprimanded whenever she saw a chance.
“Will you let me finish?” There was no warmth in Daniel’s voice.
