“What else can I do?” He was still staring at Nicole with no expression on his face, but his eyes were
constantly surging with sadness and helplessness, looking lifeless.
He thought of the first time he met Nicole. Everything was so innocent and beautiful. Back then, he was
the same age as Nicole, but he was much shorter than her. During their training in the organization, he
could only play the role of a follower every day.
His thoughts traveled far into the past, his eyes looking at Nicole with his hands clenched into fists. He
met Nicole much earlier than Jared did, but Nicole was seeing Jared instead of him. He felt useless.
After
leaving the organization, he felt like he was not even qualified to speak to her.
Lloyd’s gaze grew heavier and heavier, and he could not take his eyes off Nicole.
“Can I still get back what I have missed?” He turned his head suddenly and asked Nachelle. He was a
little drunk, his eyes filled with a young man’s ignorance and confusion.
Knowing how depressed Lloyd was, Nachelle looked at him with a sorry look in her eyes.
She sighed and said, “I don’t know, but I can tell you that if you want to do something, just do it. Don’t
leave regrets for yourself.”
There was a look of determination in Lloyd’s eyes. “You’re right. You shouldn’t leave behind any
regrets.”
Nachelle nodded and patted her son on the shoulder. “I’m glad that you know what to do. I will always
stand by you, no matter what your decision is.”
She lost Lloyd before, and she also knew that it was Nicole who saved Lloyd and brought him into the
organization, learning the skills to protect himself. It was also because of Nicole that he survived until
she found him. So she knew what Nicole meant to Lloyd. She would not force Lloyd to give up. Instead,
she would try to help him fulfill his dreams.
Her response deeply moved Lloyd. When he looked at Nicole again, there was a strange glint flashed
in his eyes. “I have thought it through, and I don’t want to give up on her so easily.”
Nachelle heard Lloyd’s icy voice and understood her son’s mind. “Then compete fairly with Jared. You
are the heir to the Holder family, just as good as Jared.”
Nachelle supported Lloyd with a kind of pride originating from the matriarch of a family.
“Okay.” Lloyd pulled himself back from his thoughts and responded affirmatively with determination in
his eyes.
Nachelle was just as resolute. As long as her son wanted it, she would fight for him. She was now
thinking of finding an opportunity to test Nicole.
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the doorway,
Everyone looked back and saw that it was Sebastian.
Their eyes lit up, and many people wanted to come up to him to say hello. Even the Riddle family
members were eager for a piece of the action. But Sebastian just glanced around once and then
headed straight for Nicole, Mr. Johnston Sr., and Mr. Riddle Sr.
Everyone hung back upon seeing this.
Mr. Johnston Sr. and Mr. Riddle Sr. got to their feet. “Hello, Mr. Wyance. What an honor to have a busy
man like you here.”
