Chapter 329 Unprovoked Targeting

• Nicole neither admitted nor denied the fact. She merely responded, "Lyra, my love life is my business, not yours. What you might call a gem could easily be gravel to someone else."
• Taylor Hammer, standing by Lyra's side, was a scion of the Hammers—one of Justford's notable but not top-tier lineages, on par financially with the Davidsons. While he was ostensibly with Lyra, his true interest had always been Nicole. Her beauty and vibrant personality far surpassed Lyra's. However, Nicole had no interest in him. After his advances were rebuffed, he had settled for Lyra.
• Now, seeing Nicole with another man sparked a mix of irritation and envy in Taylor. He interjected, "Nicole, remember your family's status. You should be more discerning in your relationships! I could introduce you to some real catches from prominent families."
