Chapter 771
Jared wanted to tell his grandfather, but his grandfather had been sick because of the death of his
parents, and he could only keep it to himself, allowing Murphy and Castor to punch and kick him. He
remembered what Murphy had said. “Do you think you’re still the lofty heir? You are just a piece of
garbage. Even if you complain, no one will believe you. I’m going to take your place and deceive the
entire world, but no one will believe you.”
He hit back at Murphy and slowly got up with malice in his eyes. From that day on, he said goodbye to
his grandfather, left the Johnston family, and went to study abroad.
Jared spent over ten years abroad alone. He had a potent ability to lear; over the years, he had learned
advanced skills in almost all fields. He happily started his own new life and set up his own company.
But something unexpected happened; Mr. Johnston St. suddenly fell ill and tried every means to get
him back home.
Jared did not go on but looked gently at Nicole. “But I really don’t want to go back to my country and
this place. But now think about it; had I not come back, I wouldn’t have met you.”
His last sentence gently pried open the door to Nicole’s heart. It felt heartwarming to the extreme
She never imagined that she was so important to Jared and that she was the only meaning of his
return
“The company is still in a mess, but after meeting you, I feel that life in the country does not seem to be
so bad after all.”
Nicole looked at Jared and nodded subconsciously. “Me too. There was bitter strife back at the Riddle
family. But after she met Jared, she had not cared about it for a long time.
Jared looked at her beautiful face with a gentle smile on his face. How good it would be if time could
stay in this moment now.’
Meanwhile, Joyce chased after Martin, but Martin did not look back. He was irritated, walking straight
until he reached the river. A cool breeze blew through and sobered him up.
Joyce saw him stop, and she carried the hem of her skirt and rushed toward him. Seeing an iritable
Martin, she said disapprovingly, “Martin, what’s wrong with you? Why did you suddenly leave without
waiting for me?” It made her a laughingstock in front of Nicole.
Martin looked with annoyance at Joyce, who was a little flustered.
“I didn’t ask you to follow me.” He had no time for Joyce, as he already felt jealous enough at seeing
Nicole and Jared together.
Joyce was stunned, looking at Martin’s indifferent attitude. She felt as if she had seen a stranger.
Martin’s indifference to her gave her an illusion that she had never known Martin
Her eyes darkened in an instant, and she bit her lip in frustration. “I will just go since you hate me so
much
With that, she spun around and left without looking back again because of her self-esteem. From full of
anticipation to extreme disappointment, she felt so lonely inside, as if a goose had lost its direction She
could not help but wonder if Martin really liked her as much as she thought.
Watching Joyce leave, Martin calmed down a little and realized that he had gone too far. After all the
failure of the experiment was not her problem, and he had been taking it out on her today He sighed
but was embarrassed to apologize. So he lit a cigarette and calmed himself down.
After finishing the coffee, Jared walked Nicole back to the school gate.
As they parted, Nicole saw the gloomy look on Jared’s face and could not help but tiptoe and kiss him
At that moment, Jared hugged Nicole tightly and planted a fervent kiss on her lips.
