NovelAppChapter 214
Luka took two steps back, the eyeliners on his small eyes covered with sweat. As Nicole had broken
his hand, he looked at her with hatred and a hint of uncontrollable fear in his eyes.
Chloe looked at Nicole with a fleeting hint of jealousy in her eyes. But she quickly thought of something
again, and a mysterious smile appeared on her face.
She quickly looked at Jared and said desperately, “Look at how defiant she is! You have got to teach
her a lesson.”
Jared’s eyes turned grave when he saw what unfolded in front of him. He walked briskly toward Nicole,
grabbed her left hand that she used to stop Luka, and asked in a deep voice,” Are you hurt?”
Nicole shook her head.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChloe looked on at what had happened in disbelief. It was not at all what she had imagined. She
thought Jared would be furious with Nicole. But she was wrong. Instead of teaching Nicole a lesson,
Jared was siding with Nicole.
Her face turned pale as Chloe looked at Jared and then at Harvey, who was watching her coldly, doing
nothing. She felt an unspeakable fear inside her.
Jared did not even spare her a glance. He looked at Dino behind him with anger brewing in his
eyes.
Dino immediately fell to his knees. “It is my fault,” he quickly said. It was he who did not take Nicole
seriously, and what happened between her and Chloe was just a minor episode, so he had ignored it
and did not report it to Jared. “Tomorrow, I will go to the ordination hall to receive my punishment.”
Jared did not look at him again but shifted his attention to Nicole. “What do you want to do with her?”
His voice was soft, his eyes gentle. He then gazed over at Chloe.
Nicole had not much response. She just replied lazily, “Let her be punished according to the laws of
Nottingbrook State.”
Zeke glanced at Nicole as Nicole sounded like William, the public prosecutor.
Nicole looked at Zeke and raised her chin slightly as if saying, “Any problem with that?” Apparently, she
had read his mind,
Zeke had no words. ‘No problem at all, of course. You’re the boss and can do anything you like,
he said in his mind.
Jared watched the interaction between the two of them. He was paying attention to Nicole and did not
notice Zeke just now. Now that he saw his face, he hesitated for a while. Seeing Zeke so young,
handsome, with so much tacit understanding with Nicole, Jared’s face turned bitter.’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHow should I deal with this guy?’ he asked himself in his mind.
Chloe looked with indignation and hatred at Nicole, who did not seem to take her seriously. At first,
Chloe was not too concerned when Harvey sided with Nicole. But now, even Jared was siding with
Nicole. They might not have explained their relationship, but they seemed to be very close to each
other.
Her fingernails had dug into the flesh of her palm, but she still maintained a smile. “Nicole, I may have
misunderstood you, but you don’t need to call the police because of it.” After all, they were all from the
Riddle family. Nicole should not be so unforgiving.
But to her surprise, Nicole said nothing further. She just glanced at her, turned around, and left. “Follow
me, Zeke,” she said.
Jared raised an eyebrow and looked at Nicole from behind. “Going back to Hustuaburg ?” he’ asked
faintly.
Nicole nodded with her back to him.
A smile crept across Jared’s face. He stepped forward to hold Nicole’s hand, looked into her puzzled
eyes, and whispered, “Why don’t we go together?” 2
