Chapter 213
Nicole looked at Jared; she had not seen him for only a few days, but it seemed like a century had
passed.
She did not even realize that a smile had crept across her face.
“What are you doing here?”
Jared also looked at her, the surprise in his eyes hard to ignore.
“I have some business to take care of here,” he said in an uplifted voice, despite his conscious effort to
suppress it.
Dino, who was following Jared, looked at him in amazement.
He was accustomed to his listless and indifferent gaze at everything; he had never seen him so
enthusiastic about someone.
There was a crack and a look of disbelief on his glacial face when Dino found out that the person to
whom Jared was showing affection was Nicole.
He did not know that Nicole actually knew his boss.
Harvey looked at Nicole, who was now having a genuine and beautiful smile on her face and was
stupefied and a little lost in thought.
Jared thought, ‘I must be missing this girl after not seeing her for just a few days.’
Looking at Jared’s attitude toward Nicole, Chole’s face contorted, and she forced herself to calm down
before stepping forward and complaining to Nicole, saying, “Why didn’t you tell me you knew Jared?”
She could clearly sense that their relationship was not so ordinary.
So how about Harvey?’ she asked in her mind.
As Chloe suddenly came toward her, as if they were close buddies, and the thought of seeing Chloe
sitting across from Jared in the café the other day came to mind, something started to dawn on Nicole.
She looked at Chloe with a smirk and said, “Why should I tell you?”
At this time, Luka had also come in.
He thought Jared was with Chloe, and when he saw Nicole standing there, he quickly said, “Mr.
Johnston, it was this woman who looked for trouble with Chloe and me the other day.
You have got to do something about her.”
Chloe was looking at Jared with anticipation, as she had always felt that she was special to Jared.
Even if she had seen what happened just now, she was still not willing to admit that she was deceiving
herself.
Jared looked at Luka nonchalantly.
“Really?” he said.
Seeing Jared’s attitude, Luka thought Jared was going to stand up for Chloe and quickly said flatteringly,
“She intimidated and forced us to apologize to her underling because of a misunderstanding,”
Chloe, who was standing at the side, frowned because she felt that what Luka said was an
understatement.
“Jared, she thinks because of her relationship with Harvey, she could do whatever she likes, openly
threatening me and saying that the police will come after me.
I think you should stay away from such a person.”
Nicole looked at Chloe and almost wanted to laugh, saying in her mind, ‘She is lower than a snake’s
belly!’
At this moment, Dino came over to Jared and whispered something to him.
Jared frowned, his eyes turning frosty as he looked at Chloe.
Zeke could not bear to see Chloe smear Nicole, and he stood up.
“It was obvious you guys who provoked us first.
You lied when you said that I stole from you, and now you’re trying to stand the truth on its head.
What an evil wench you are!”
There was a stern look in Chloe’s eyes upon hearing that.
She shot a look at Luka, who got the hint and quickly raised a hand, wanting to slap Zeke.
“I’ll teach you a lesson, brat!”
Luka might be sissy, but he was still a man, had strength, and was using all of it.
He glared at Zeke triumphantly.
He had long been disliking this guy, who looked better than he was.
How could he not seize the opportunity to slap him now? There was a fleeting sense of malice flashed
across Luka’s face.
Chloe looked on triumphantly at seeing Luka about to slap Zeke.
With Jared there, she was not afraid at all, even if Nicole had Harvey’s backing.
At the moment when both of them felt they had succeeded , Luka’s hand was intercepted by another
hand in mid-air, twisted ninety degrees with a crisp cracking sound.
Luka screamed in pain, with cold sweat popping up on his forehead.
