He wanted to give the best to Nicole.
Nicole instantly blushed upon hearing his proposal. “Let’s just keep things low-key.” She was used to
keeping a low profile on everything, and she was still unaccustomed to it.
“You’re my fiancée, and I will certainly give you the best.” Jared smiled and had already decided.
Claus saw the opportunity. “Let me handle it, Mr. Johnston.”
He enjoyed organizing these things the most. “I promise it will be better and more fun than what a
dumbo like Max could come up with.”
Jared’s face darkened, and Claus shut his mouth at once. But after a long while, Jared still agreed. “Go
and don’t make mistakes.”
“I guarantee I will get the job done.” Claus smiled and continued to drive.
Nicole did not expect Jared to proceed with things just like that. She felt awkward and did not know
what to say, thinking the engagement was too sudden.
As they arrived at the school, Jared took her back to his café for a cup of coffee.
Nicole had a look of satisfaction on her face while drinking the coffee handmade by Jared.
Looking around the café, Nicole suddenly asked, “Why do you want to open a café infront of the
school?”
Jared’s hand paused, and he looked up at her. “Because there were signals of Lucifer here.”
Nicole’s face darkened as she finally understood something. It turned out that Jared opened the café
here for her at first.
“Has my signal ever appeared here?” Nicole thought for a moment and suddenly recalled the phishing
program. Her face sank. “The one who used the phishing program to catch me out was you.”
She and Jared had previously revealed their respective identities, and she also knew that Jared had
put her on his wanted list, but she did not know at the time that Jared had used the phishing program to
catch her.
“Of course, I wrote the program myself.” Jared let out an evilly triumphant smile.
“You wrote that program?” Nicole was surprised.
That she had nearly fallen into the trap of the program showed how capable the person who wrote the
program was. Just that she did not expect that it was Jared who created the program. ‘Doesn’t this
mean Jared’s hacking skills are as good as mine?’
“Yeah. Surprised?” He raised an eyebrow.
“Of course. If that program is really your creation, it will fetch a high price on The Hunters.” Nicole had a
serious look on her face.
Jared smiled. “I’m not short of money. I wrote that program just to catch you.”
His expression looked explicit and fervent.
His stare flustered Nicole, and she rolled her eyes at him. “You have been getting better at teasing me
lately, eh?”
Jared smiled. “You’ve been getting better at complimenting me lately, too.”
Nicole’s expression froze, looking a little bashful. “Who wants to compliment you?”
Jared did not expose her, and the two of them laughed and drank their coffee.
Just then, the café’s door opened, and several Royal Creek Institute students poured in.
Gary, the leading guy, saw Jared and Nicole and was stunned. Nicole and Jared also saw him. Jared’s
face darkened, and he did not intend to talk to him. Smiles faded from Gary’s face as if he did not
expect to meet them here.
Jack and Wayne also saw Nicole, but they met Jared for the first time. They involuntarily glance at
Gary and immediately spot Gary’s abnormal demeanor.
