Behind Lyana were the sycophantic Dillon and the expressionless Damien Benjamin and Daniel did not
see her off.
She was in a rage.
Not only did that old man not want to deal with Nicole, but he even kicked me out of his house! And now
someone is blocking my path?!’
“Hey! Are you bli
Before she finished her words, she saw the person in front of her.
Her eyes sparkled with surprise,
There was also a hint of shyness behind her eyes.
“J-Jared? Why are you here?”
‘Did he come to see me?
Nicole raised her eyebrows upon this encounter.
She glanced at Jared and then at the three brothers behind Lyana.
Something was on her mind.
Jared looked at Lyana with indifference.
He then sensed a hint of playfulness in Nicole’s eyes.
His eyes slightly curved upwards as he stretched out his hand to pull Nicole to his side.
“Are you laughing at me?”
Nicole showed no emotions, “No?”
Jared grinned widely at the sight of Nicole not pulling away from him.
He was beaming from the inside out.
However, he knew that Nicole had matters to attend to.
Hence, he decided to let her go. Before that, he put his lips close to her ear and whispered loud enough
for everyone to hear, “Go on.
Don’t make me wait too long.” Nicole nodded.
She ignored the group of people who stared at her with a complicated gaze, including Lyana. She was
there to give Mr. Riddle Sr. his medicine, not to give them a show. Though, Nicole’s dismissiveness
toward the matter did not mean Lyana would dismiss her. Lyana’s heart sank when she saw the two
share an intimate moment.
She found it hard to breathe.
The jealousy she felt prepared her to kill ‘I’ve been in love with Jared for three years.
I dropped out of school just to go to Hustuaburg and follow in his footsteps.
It doesn’t matter how harshly he treats me.
He has treated other women the same,’ Lyana told herself. ‘He just doesn’t know how to express himself.
He just hasn’t known me that well.
He just hasn’t had the time…” All the lies she told herself were brought to the light when she saw how he
treated Nicole.
Her nails dug into her palms as she thought about it. At first, Lyana only wanted Nicole to stop dreaming
so big.
She wanted her to know that even if she got to know her grandfather, she still could not climb to the top.
But now? She wants to crush her. “Stop right there.” Lyana’s gaze changed.
She did not dare look at Jared.
Instead, she looked at Nicole, who did not bat her an eye.
She felt a rush of blood to the head.
She took a few steps forward and rushed to Nicole’s side. “I told you to stop!” she grabbed her wrist and
spoke. Nicole looked back at her with no emotions in her eyes.
“Is something wrong?” she asked coldly. Lyana gritted her teeth and looked at Nicole’s delicate features
with a hint of jealousy.
“You seduced Jared! How could you be so shameless?!” Damien and Dexter fixed their gaze upon Jared.
They did not dare provoke him.
So they bowed their heads in silence. Jared’s face turned cold when he heard those words.
He stepped forward and said, “What did you say?” Lyana’s whole body froze as soon as she heard his
voice sound behind her ears.
