Chapter 452

“What is your purpose here?”

Nicole gazed at Dora with a cold expression.

Dora pointed at Nicole’s mouth and said, “Your lipstick needs a touch-up. It looks so terrible as it is smudged. You are now a renowned celebrity, correct? It is undesirable to be snapped in this manner by the paparazzi.”

Nicole was untouched by her comments.

After that, Dora approached her and assisted in smoothing her hair personally.

Nicole felt a tingle of discomfort at Dora’s unexpected contact.

She flinched abruptly and kept her gaze fixed on Dora.

“I shall attend to my appearance. Mrs. Todd, thanks.”

Dora’s expression darkened instantly, and she glanced at Nicole up and down as if she were inspecting a product.

“It appears you have lived a wonderful life, and you are far more attractive than the unfortunate lady kneeling in front of me at that moment. Sadly… There is no way to conceal your humble origins, no matter how stunning you may look now. You are still one of the lowly.”

No one could tolerate such an offense. Nicole’s expression altered. Before she could respond, Dora lifted her hand and smacked her hard.

The sound of slapping was particularly audible in the restroom.

Eliana and Lucia, who were locked in the cubicle and had no choice but to listen in, were terrified.

Was this the gracious, mild and kind aunt she knew? Lucia thought.

In fact, Lucia’s and Wyatt’s dads were brothers, and Dora was her aunt.

That was also why Lucia didn’t like Nicole before.

She had known Nicole since childhood. She recalled Nicole having been Wyatt’s girlfriend for a while. Nevertheless, following the automobile accident, Nicole immediately abandoned Wyatt who might become disabled, and fled.

In Lucia’s mind, thus, her cousin Wyatt was a wealthy and foolish guy while Nicole was a cruel and cunning woman, and Dora had always been a kind and accessible aunt.

However, what happened outside just now had drastically changed Lucia’s perspective.

Regardless of how the moods of the two persons in the cubicle shifted, the scenario in the restroom remained the same.

After slapping Nicole, Dora was still enraged. She increased her voice and warned, “If you dare seduce my son again, I will not only smack you like I just did. I can also show your ailing mother how ill- mannered her daughter is since she just knows how to seduce rich men and take advantage of them! I doubt your mother is any better with a daughter like you!”

Eliana took a deep inhale in the cubicle. She believed these statements were excessive as an outsider, let alone for the individual concerned.

Even Lucia, who had always despised Nicole, could not tolerate hearing this.

Instantaneously, Lucia coughed to let Dora know that there was another person in the restroom.

Dora quickly stopped scolding when she heard Lucia cough, as predicted.

Nicole was astonished by Dora’s nasty statements at first. Her long-repressed rage finally erupted.

She could tolerate everything Dora said to her, but her mother was her raw nerve, which nobody could touch!

“Ill-bred? I wonder who between us today is more ill-mannered, Mrs. Todd!” Nicole snarled. “You should keep an eye on your son instead of bothering me. He can’t seem to forget me, even though I’m lowly. What are you going to do with it? I’m sure he will return to me as soon as I crook my finger at him. Do you think so?”

“How dare you?!”

Dora was like an infuriated lion, ready to rip Nicole apart.

“Let’s see whether I’ll dare to do that. At that moment, I shall disclose your prior doings. What do you think your son will think of you, a mother who seems sweet but is really cruel?”

“Alright, alright! Therefore, let’s see what happens!”

Dora was so enraged that she immediately exited the restroom.

Nicole’s formidable manner eventually crumbled when she was out of sight. She crouched feebly and couldn’t help but weep quietly.

Her weep was so sad that the two individuals within the cubicle could not help but feel pity for her.

Eliana prevented Lucia from opening the door and showing herself once more.

Eliana sighed and said, “I know Nicole. She has a high sense of self-respect. If we went out now, not only would we be unable to console her, but we would make her feel worse.”

Lucia deliberated attentively. If she confronted such a situation, she would also hope that no one would show her sympathy, which would only make her feel worse.

Eventually, Lucia let go of the knob and lowered her hand.

The two of them remained in the cubicle until Nicole stepped out, at which point the weep outside faded. Then they walked out of the cubicle slowly.
