Nichole resorted to her usual tactics, lowering her head and sobbing quietly in feigned distress.

The guys, already fond of the beautiful Nichole, quickly came to her defense, pleading on her behalf when they saw their crush in tears.

This action, however, painted the professor as a harsh and unapproachable figure. Indeed, the professor's expression grew even darker. Nichole felt a pang of anxiety.

This time, her tactic didn't soften the professor's heart as it usually did. Instead, the professor said coldly, "You're not focusing on your studies, but you sure know how to make friends, Nichole. You're really something."

Nichole quickly shook her head, "I..."

Just then, the bell rang, and the professor grabbed her books and left swiftly.

Nichole had really upset the professor this time. Krystal tugged at Nichole's arm and said, "Don't worry about her, she's just jealous. Clearly, she's going through a midlife crisis."

"But did you hear? This morning, there was a scandalous photo pinned on the bulletin board, labeling someone as a 'sugar baby' and 'nightclub girl,' even claiming she got her position through underhanded means. Guess who it was?" Tina said this with a mysterious air.

Curious, Krystal asked, "Who?"

"It's that girl who tried to steal Nichole's boyfriend."

"Oh, her! I knew she was no good. She looks so pretty, but turns out she's selling herself, how disgusting." Krystal made a face of disdain.

Tina added, "Exactly, she's just trying to latch onto some wealthy guy."

Pretending to be troubled, Nichole said, "Tina, Krystal, don't talk about her like that. She's just trying to make a living."

"You're just too kind! She's a gold digger with no moral compass. We don't have class this afternoon. I'm thinking of following her to see what she does after class. I could take some photos and pin them up on our school board too."

"Right. So many guys at our school were after her. It's time to expose her, let everyone see she's not the good person she pretends to be."

As Krystal and Tina chattered back and forth, Nichole grew increasingly worried. What if they caught Sophie going back to James' place? That would be a disaster.

"Krystal! That's not right. It's illegal." Nichole quickly interjected.

Krystal replied nonchalantly, "What law would that break? If that were illegal, paparazzi would all be in jail."

Tina also said, "Nichole, don't worry about it. We're doing this for you. Just let us handle it. It won't affect you.”

"No!" Nichole's voice suddenly rose an octave, causing both friends to pause and look at her puzzled.

Afraid of giving herself away, Nichole quickly lowered her voice and said, "I mean, you're doing this for me, so of course, I should go with you. I can't let you do all the work on my behalf."

Hearing this, Krystal hugged Nichole tightly, "Nichole, you're the best. I knew you'd come with us."

Nichole couldn't muster a smile, but if she didn't accompany Krystal and Tina to follow Sophie, and they found out, she would be in trouble.

Later that afternoon, Krystal, Tina, and Nichole were having lunch in the cafeteria when Krystal spotted Sophie entering.

As Sophie headed in their direction, Krystal scoffed, "Just our luck. We could even bump into her during lunch."
