Nicole put down the books that she was holding. A hint of deep thoughts flashed past her eyes. “I
should focus on studying now, isn’t it? Go back to your seats.”
Lulu and the others were embarrassed to stand. They quickly went back to their seats and sat down.
Nicole was even more imposing after becoming the class monitor. No one dared to go against her.
Soon, the teacher came to the class. But Nicole sent a message to Zeke secretly while thinking, ‘My
face can’t be exposed online anymore… Zeke should be able to handle this kind of small matter.’
Sure enough, Zeke switched on his computer immediately after receiving Nicole’s message. He started
working right away.
Soon, all the pictures related to Nicole were destroyed…
News online spread fast. It did not take long for Jared to learn about it. He had known Nicole was hurt
yesterday, but he did not know Lloyd carried her.
After looking at the trending post on his phone, he frowned as he stared at Max and asked, “Did this
happen yesterday? Why didn’t I know about it?”
Max bowed his head after he heard Jared’s question. He answered, “We didn’t know about this either.
We didn’t expect the media to leak it.”
Jared frowned slightly as he heard that. “What was Lloyd’s intention?” He thought, ‘Lloyd was awarded
the best actor. Every news about him that was leaked must have been approved by Nachelle. She
actually allowed gossip like that about her son goes public. What was her intention?’
A hint of concern flashed upon Max’s eyes as he looked at Jared’s face.
“I’m afraid that they have some ulterior motive. Lloyd’s current production team’s auditioning for their
lead actress role. Before they went to Royal Creek Institute, all the classes were asked to prepare for a
performance.”
Max was nervous as he thought about that. He was afraid that Jared would be unhappy.
Jared noticed Max’s emotions quickly. He could not help but frown. “You’ve warned the Holder family,
right?”
Jared thought, ‘The last time I came back, I’d already told Max to warn the Holder family not to bother
Nicole anymore. Why is Lloyd still bothering her?’
Max’s eyes were filled with grievances as he stared at Jared. He complained, “Boss, the Holder family
has been doing well in the showbiz. They wouldn’t care about what I said even if I’d warned them.
Jared looked at Max as he said coldly, “You’re right. For the past two years, the Holder family has
progressed rapidly. It’s time for Lloyd to get a taste of defeat.”
Max said nervously as he thought Jared was angry, “Are we going against the Holder family now?”
Jared had many troubles to face with. It was not the right time to act overtly hostile to the Holder
family.
Although Jared was not happy with Max’s doubt, he did not blame him. He stood up slowly and walked
toward the window. “Well, this is the Holder family’s choice. It’s only fair if we entertain them.”
Max stared at Jared. He immediately understood what Jared was thinking. ‘Although this is not the right
time to go against them, the Holder family made their choice. We could only make a counter move.’
Max, “Boss, what’s your plan?” he asked in a deep voice.
Jared smiled coldly. He lowered his voice as he opened his mouth slowly.
A hint of amusement flashed past Max’s eyes as he heard what Jared said. ‘As expected from my
boss. His idea can solve the issue without a fuss.’
Max was relieved. “I’ll get right on it.”
“Okay.” Jared signaled him to leave.
After Max left, Jared stared into the distance as he made a decision secretly.
Seems like I have to get what’s mine sooner. Only then will those people tremble before me, and those
coveting my girl will know their place.
‘Having a stunning and talented girlfriend sometimes can be trouble, huh?’
