Chapter 140
Both Damien and Miley looked at Nicole as they watched her sit down at the table filled with prominent
people. However, their status meant that they could not go there at all. Otherwise, they would have gone
over to question Nicole!
‘Why did she not tell us that she knew Christo Rogers?’
Yet the two of them never thought that they were the ones who looked at her with disdain when she first
returned. Now that even the master of the Rogers master was treating Nicole so respectfully. What was
going on?
Could it be that everyone already knew that she was Jared’s fiancé?
‘Must be that!’ Otherwise, they cannot figure out how a person like Nicole could get involved with such an
elite circle.
Nicole did not know that Damien was here. After all, the two were seated very far back. Seeing that Mr.
Rogers Sr. got her to sit at this place, and then seeing a few familiar faces before her, she impassively
chose a position away from them and stood for a while, showing no intention to sit.

Jared was watching Nicole the moment she came in, and the light in his eyes was indiscernible. One
could not tell what he was thinking, and when he saw her pretending to not know him, his eyes dimmed
as he said, “Come here.”

Yet, another voice called out to her at the same time. “Nicole, over here.”
It was Harvey.
Jared did not even look at him, but his gaze was frighteningly chilly. :
Everyone saw that the two spoke at the same time, and the person they were speaking to be the girl Mr.
Rogers Sr. had brought in. All of them then cast an astonished look at her.
‘Who the hell is this girl?’ They wondered.
Lyana, too noticed the strangeness in Jared. After Mr. Rogers Sr. left, Jared had not spoken a word with
her at all. Neither did he give her a glance. This was the first time she felt that she had fallen into an ice
cavern.
When she looked at the beautiful girl her grandfather brought in, a look of jealousy slowly spread across
her eyes.
She had never seen Jared treat a lady in such a domineering manner.
For Jared, she must be a very special person.
Nicole did not respond. The thing she wanted to confirm on the way was almost confirmed, so she took
out a gift box from her pocket and handed it to Mr. Rogers Sr.
“This is the gift I was entrusted to give you. Please accept it.”
Everyone here were all celebrities and dignitaries, and all their presents were as large as they could be.
Looking at the simple gift box, all of them cast a disdainful look.
Mr. Rogers Sr., on the other hand, took in with surprise. “Thank you!”
“Mr. Rogers Sr. actually thanked a girl like that so solemnly?’
Everyone else was stunned as they looked at Nicole with complicated looks in their eyes.
They felt that they needed to investigate who this girl was.
Nicole ignored all of that as she casually fixed her hair and said as she looked at Mr. Rogers Sr. “Since
I’ve delivered the item, I’ll take my leave.”
“Oh… oh… Alright…” He would stop any other person who tried to leave, but for the girl before him, he
dared not say anything else.
“Oh right.” Nicole seemed to have thought of something as she pulled out a black sealed packet from her
pocket, seemingly looking like some medicinal powder.
After that, she gently patted him on the shoulder. “I’ll give you this. It should help you with your recovery. I
wish you a long, happy life.”
“Really?” Mr. Rogers Sr. had a look of surprise. He never expected this seemingly teenage girl to give
him a packet of medicine!
And… the packaging method… was seemingly similar to that famous doctor he was looking for!
Ignoring Mr. Rogers Sr.’s shock, she handed the package to him and said casually, “Just give it a try, and
you’ll find out. Remember to take in more sunlight.”
A complicated look appeared in his eyes as he looked at Nicole, and once again, he solemnly thanked
her. “Thank you.”
Everyone fell silent, and even Damien and Miley in the distance were dumbstruck. “The patriarch of the
Rogers family has always been high and mighty, and here he allowed Nicole to pat him on his shoulder
and even thanked her?!’
‘Even if it was due to her being Jared’s fiancé… That was a little too outrageous!’
Nicole smiled. “You’re welcome. I’ll go back and work on my exercise questions. Goodbye.”
In fact, she just could not be bothered to participate in the dispute between Harvey and Jared. She did
not want to draw attention in public and wanted to go back early to rest.
Seeing that she was really leaving, a smile appeared in his eyes,
“Let’s go together.” He had already planned to leave, and she came just in time.
Lyana looked at Jared beside her and said, “Mr. Johnston…”
Jared pretended like he did not hear her. He had been giving face to Mr. Rogers Sr. when he did not
straight up ask her to get lost. Seeing this scene, Mr. Rogers Sr. understood what was up and gave a
warning look to his granddaughter.
Everyone looked in shock as Jared wanted to leave with this girl, and they were even more curious about
her identity.
But they could only watch as the two just walked out of the main door like that.
Nicole had ignored Harvey since the beginning, and that caused a deep frustration within the latter.
As he stared at their departing silhouette, the warm smile on his face slowly disappeared as he said. “Mr.
Wyance, Mr. Rogers Sr., I’ll take my leave first.”
Looking at Harvey, Mr. Rogers Sr. asked softly, “You know that Ms. Riddle too, Master Harvey?
