Chapter 167 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• Luka took two steps back, the eyeliners on his small eyes covered with sweat. As Nicole had broken his hand, he looked at her with hatred and a hint of uncontrollable fear in his eyes. Chloe looked at Nicole with a fleeting hint of jealousy in her eyes. But she quickly thought of something again, and a mysterious smile appeared on her face. She quickly looked at Jared and said desperately, “Look at how defiant she is! You have got to teach her a lesson.” Jared’s eyes turned grave when he saw what unfolded in front of him. He walked briskly toward Nicole, grabbed her left hand that she used to stop Luka, and asked in a deep voice,” Are you hurt?” Nicole shook her head.
• Chloe looked at what had happened in disbelief. It was not at all what she had imagined. She thought Jared would be furious with Nicole. But she was wrong. Instead of teaching Nicole a lesson, Jared was siding with Nicole. Her face turned pale as Chloe looked at Jared and then at Harvey, who was watching her coldly, doing nothing. She felt an unspeakable fear inside her. Jared did not even spare her a glance. He looked at Dino behind him with anger brewing in his eyes. Dino immediately fell to his knees. “It is my fault,” he quickly said. It was he who did not take Nicole seriously, and what happened between her and Chloe was just a minor episode, so he ignored it and did not report it to Jared.
• “Tomorrow, I will go to the ordination hall to receive my punishment.” Jared did not look at him again but shifted his attention to Nicole. “What do you want to do with her?” His voice was soft, and his eyes were gentle. He then gazed over at Chloe. Nicole had not received much response. She just replied lazily, “Let her be punished according to the laws of Nottingbrook State.” Zeke glanced at Nicole as she sounded like William, the public prosecutor. Nicole looked at Zeke and raised her chin slightly as if saying, “Any problem with that?” Apparently, she had read his mind; Zeke had no words.
