Nicole did not look away as her pair of eyes looking at him was not that frigid. Instead, it was like a calm
lake, beautiful and enchanting. Jared looked away and said, “If there’s something like this in the future,
I’ll take you along.”
When he heard that, Max, who was driving, gave Jared a surprised glance.
‘His boss had never attended a banquet with a female companion before!’
However, when he recalled his boss’ not-so-closeness toward the ladies seemed useless against Nicole,
he was relieved.
Jared then casually continued, “The girl sitting beside me today is Mr. Rogers Sr.’s granddaughter. Today
is, after all, his birthday banquet. I was giving him face, so I did not chase her away.”
Nicole nodded when she heard that as she looked at him.
Max could see from the rear mirror the confusion in Nicole’s eyes, seemingly not understanding why
Jared was telling her that.
Seeing this, Jared swept a cold glance over, and Max immediately looked away.
Jared looked at Nicole’s emotionless eyes. The warmth in his heart slowly cooled as a chill appeared in
his eyes as he looked on at this seemingly heartless woman as he hissed, “Fine, Nicole, you win.”
After dropping Nicole off at her school, the black car drove away directly.
Nicole looked at the car and fell into a rare deep thought.
In fact, when she entered the banquet hall and saw a beautiful girl by Jared’s side, she actually felt a little
uncomfortable. Yet she could not grasp what this feeling was. Looking at her watch, it was almost nine
o’clock in the evening. She did not dwell on it as she turned toward her school and walked off.
It was already dark, and there were not many people in school right now. So, she just casually strolled as
she took out her phone and sent a message. “Mission complete.”
The other side quickly replied with an “OK” and nothing else. When Nicole saw Mr. Rogers Sr. today, he
was very pale, and his cardiopulmonary functions were poor too. Going by the older generations, it was
as if something was sapping his vitality.
She had casually pressed against his shoulder and was actually looking for a nerve point. Aside from
helping with his circulation, she could also tell what the problem roughly was.
Recalling Shawn’s strange expression back then, her eyes narrowed slightly as he seemed to know
something about the old man’s condition.
However, this was the Rogers family’s affair. She had no right to interfere.
11 was now up to whether Christo Rogers could unravel her present and listen to himself.
Thinking of this, Nicole arrived at the entrance of the dormitory. She was just about to go in when a hand
grabbed her shoulder. She frowned a little as she turned around and grabbed it, wanting to pull off a
back toss.
Yet the person behind her was very familiar with this move, and when Nicole used her strength, he stood
still as if he was ready for it and used the momentum to pull Nicole into his
arm.
Nicole’s eyes turned chilly as she applied force to her feet and tried to spin away to pull a distance as
she lashed a kick out. Her attack was fast and powerful as she did not hold back.
Judging from the person’s skill, he was very likely not a student but someone trained in martial arts.
A pro!
