Revenge of the Thorns: The Nanny's Daughter Cried for Mercy

Nicole clearly hadn't expected that I, who had always treated her like a sister, would expose her true identity in front of everyone.

She froze for a moment, then clenched her teeth and stubbornly denied it. "Doesn't everyone already know whether I'm the daughter of a nanny? But you, acting like a mad dog over a few pieces of jewelry. What good is all your education if you've turned out like this? I'm warning you, hand over everything you took. Those are meant for my classmates, and you can't keep even one piece!"

Nicole glanced at the indignant classmates before leaning closer and lowering her voice. "Don't forget, you owe your life to me. Today, I'm just teaching you a lesson!"

After she finished, Nicole crossed her arms smugly and called her classmates over to take the jewelry back from me.

I was alone, and there was no way I could protect my mother's belongings.

"Call the police."

The moment I said that Nicole's face changed, and she raised her voice. "What did you just say?"

Looking at her greedy and selfish face, I barely held back the urge to hit her again. "Didn't you say this jewelry belongs to you? Then let's call the police and let them figure it out!"

"Pah!" An unpleasant voice echoed through the classroom. "I've never seen anyone as shameless as you, Sophia. Have you gone crazy from being poor? Now you're just outright stealing!"

The classmates began chattering amongst themselves.

"Exactly! Nicole brought these jewels from home to share with us, and now you're trying to claim they're yours? How can you be so disgusting, Sophia!"

"Sophia is so gross!"

...

Finally, Edward, the most popular boy at school, stepped up beside Nicole. "Nicole, don't worry, I'll call the police for you. I won't let anyone steal what's rightfully yours!"

Edward pulled out his phone, looking down at me with disgust as if I were a fly too repulsive even to swat.

He said, "Sophia, if you hand over the jewelry now and apologize to Nicole on your knees, I might consider letting this slide for the sake of our classmateship."
