The police shoved her and Luka into a patrol car and took them away while Nicole followed Jared to the
manor.
Zeke looked thoughtfully at Nicole’s face, then at Jared’s.
Jared did not mind Zeke’s scrutiny.
He brought Nicole to walk out of the castle, behind which was a well-groomed lawn covering a sizable
area, and in the middle of which was parked a private jet that was on standby.
Nicole was not surprised.
She had realized something when Jared invited her to leave together.
Only Zeke behind her was wide-eyed.
‘My god, who is Jared, really? He even has a private jet that was much more advanced than that of his
father.’ Zeke wondered.
The aircraft was extremely safe.
Nothing could cause damage to it unless there was a missile attack.
‘Wait a minute, Jared.’ It was the Jared whom he had imagined.
Zeke silently looked Jared up and down and had no words because he was great looking.
For his face alone, Zeke could not have any ill feelings toward him.
Jared looked at Nicole’s impassive face with bright eyes and then said a few words to the tall foreign
captain before bringing Nicole toward the plane.
Nicole looked at the silver fuselage of the plane and raised an eyebrow.
The plane had been modified, and it cost a bomb.
As the three of them got on the plane, Zeke was stunned.
The inside of the aircraft was spacious, made into a separate living room, with LED displays embedded
in the walls of the fuselage and two soft chairs that seemed comfortable.
Another space was installed with sophisticated electronic equipment, where most high-end computer
operations run on land could be performed here.
It was worth mentioning that there was even a small wine cabinet in the lounge.
Nicole looked at the wine cabinet and raised an eyebrow.
Jared was keeping an eye on her expression, and when he saw her interest, he explained,” Sometimes I
will drink a little when I cannot sleep.”
It was the first time Nicole heard him talking about himself.
She looked up with her upturned eyes and waited for him to continue.
Jared looked at her expression and felt she was adorable.
Even the things that he thought to be too embarrassed to tell previously were no longer so.
He looked at Nicole with a pair of glassy eyes and whispered, “My parents died when I was still small,
leaving me to grow up under my grandfather’s care.”
Jared paused, his pupils gradually gushing with an indescribable emptiness, his voice
i
seemingly floating in the air with no place to settle down.
“I have an awful relationship with the rest of the family.
They hated me, saying that I was a jinx who would get everyone around me killed.” A faint smile,
indescribably cold, crept across his face.
Nicole looked at him and knew he had reached a certain point of limit.
So, she gently held Jared’s hand and said, “Enough, Jared.”
Jared looked at her and blinked as if a beautiful and hazy dream was enough.
Nicole nodded, and her voice was filled with an unmistakable affirmation.
As if thinking of something again, she looked at Jared with a beautiful smile.
