Chapter 757

“I…” June bit her lips in embarrassment “Nicole, please don’t tell your brother…”

‘Or else I’ll really die from embarrassment.

“Don’t worry.” Nicole glanced at her. “Who do you take me for? I hate gossip the most.”

June nodded solemnly. “Yeah, I know. You’re not that sort of person.”

It was only then she somewhat relieved.

Nicole started to change, and as she changed, she suddenly recalled something. “The Wallace family in San Joto is quite an influential family. Are you going to Mr. Johnston Sr.’s banquet?” 3 June was slightly taken aback. “… I don’t know.”

Although she was a daughter of the Wallace family in San Joto, she focused mostly on her studies and did not ask about what was going on at home.

“My brother will be there.” All five of her brothers will be attending the banquet, and Samuel was naturally not an exception After June got a tip from Nicole, her eyes lit up. “I’ll go too then!”

There was not much opportunity for her to get in touch with Samuel outside school, and she needed to seize this opportunity.

“Smart girl,” Nicole said as she winked at June. “Make sure to doll up. Let me know if you’re short of anything.”

June always seemed like she did not get much pocket money. The average daughters of rich families were not as thrifty as she was. Her sensibility pained Nicole so much that she was afraid that June was unwilling to spend money, so she added that reminder.

June could not help but be touched. “Nicole… thank you so much.”

Although she was the daughter of the Wallace family, ever since her stepmother married into the family, she rarely asked her family for money. Most of the time, her living expenses came from her own scholarship money and some allowances from her grandmother. If she was to attend a banquet, she really did not have all that much money.

“What are you thanking me for? Aren’t we friends?” Nicole teased. She had already long taken June and Lulu as her friends.

June did not expect Nicole to say something so earnest and was touched. “Nicole… You’re the best!”

As she said that, she hugged Nicole from the change, even though the latter was not done changing yet.

Nicole had just only slipped her t-shirt over her head, and the clothes were stuck on her shoulders when she was so awkwardly hugged. “Uh, let me go first. I’m not done dressing yet…”

‘This was really awkward.’ However, if it weren’t for her arms trapped by her shirt, she would have pushed June away This was the first time Nicole had skin contact with a friend, and she was a little embarrassed.

June immediately let her go and said, “I’ll help you put on your shirt!”

As she said that, she pulled Nicole’s casual tee down, After that, the two sat down to chat.

Although Nicole only spoke occasionally between exchanges, she would at times still laugh together with June.

The two were really relaxed.

Inside the hospital laboratory–

Joyce was seated in the cramped lab with an uncontrollable look of anxiety on her face.

She finally returned to the team at Martin’s grace, but she was still very nervous, worrying that she would be kicked out if she messed up again.

Ever since the incident, she dared not speak to Martin casually anymore, and she did not know how to approach him about the McCarthy family’s matter.

At this moment, Martin was cutting something on the lab bench with his hair messy. A sharpened pen was stuck on his ear as he could sense Joyce’s gaze from time to time, and an irritable look slowly appeared on his face.

He was unwilling to toss away the test tube in his hand. He carefully lifted it up as he looked at Joyce, his eyes cold and impatient.

“There’s no one here now. I’ll give you one last chance. Now, speak, what
