‘This entire mess is because of Simon's greed, and now he is the one feeling wronged?"
Simon looked at her.Her words were piercing, and he could not refute what she said.
'I've divulged so much because of her question; she could at least show me some gratitude!’
“Why must they back me into a corner?"
Simon got up; his eyes reddened as he wanted to say something to Nicole.
At that time, he wanted to stretch across the table to grab Nicole's clothes, yet the moment he was
about to touch her, he suddenly sensed a sharp chill that was so terrifying it was as if he had taken
another step forward.He would be losing his hand.
Simon looked up and saw Jared by Nicole's side.He was leaning lazily against the chair, playing with a
dagger in his hand.
It was that same dagger that decapitated the monster earlier! Cold sweat started to form all over his
head.
The man beside Nicole had always given him a harmless feeling that he, for a moment, forgot how
brutal his blows were and how inhumanly strong he was.
Simon immediately froze as he looked at Jared and started shivering uncontrollably, not even daring to
withdraw his hand.
Janus looked at Simon and sensed the chilly vibe coming from Jared.He immediately stood beside
Nicole to support her.He then coldly said, "What were you thinking of doing there?"
Simon's face turned pale.He gave Janus' neurotic smile a nervous glance before fleeing outside.
‘That attitude of his is quite intriguing"
Nicole gave Jared a thoughtful look, and he shot a smile back at her.It was only then did she look away
and got up as she went upstairs.
Jared, however, gently hooked in fingers, motioning for Janus to act before getting up and following
behind Nicole.
Elijah looked at the two and was a little startled.His subordinates were holding down the blueprint
Nicole had sent over, and Jared did not make any demands from him.
'Perhaps Nicole had already told him"
Eber came to his side and whispered.
"Brother, do you think the two of them can deal with this matter?"
Elijah put the blueprint in his hand down as he looked assuredly at the direction the two had left and
said, "I don't know about the others, but Nicole, she's a woman of her words."
Eber nodded.He believed Elijah, and after witnessing the strength Nicole had displayed this morning,
he had to admit that he had gradually developed a trust in Nicole as well.
It was the type of trust where disaster would surely pass if she was there.
Elijah, seemingly recalling something, turned to Eber and frowned.
"Things are still not yet settled.Go and drag Simon back.Otherwise, we'll be on the back foot again if
we were to have another confrontation."
Eber nodded and made a phone call to gather his men.He then gave his watch a glance before leaving
with his men in tow with a serious look on his face.
Elijah looked at the blueprint before him and let out a soft sigh before turning to the servant behind him
and saying, "Go and look for Carl."
‘Ever since that boy found out about Nicole and Jared's relationship, he seemed very reluctant to show
up at home.God knows where he has gone to"
Yet, Carl's voice rang out behind him, sounding somewhat flaccid.
"Dad, you're looking for me?"
