Chapter 957
Taken aback, Nikki forced a smile. “Madam Edith, I’ve got good eyes. I might be useful.”
“No thanks!” Edith frowned in annoyance.
“Having Brittany around will be enough. Leave.”
“But-” Nikki stopped talking when Edith glared at her.
The older woman snapped, “What? Are you going to defy me?”
“Of course not.” Nikki lowered her head and bit her lower lip.
“Get out!” Nikki was irritated.
“I’ll take my leave.” With a nod, Nikki left reluctantly.

“You’re here.” Nikki instantly lit up and stood up.
She was happy and relieved he was here since it meant she still had a chance.
“What’s the secret?” Dustin asked coldly.
“Give me Jade Maiden Scripture first, and I’ll tell you,” Nikki bargained.
