Chapter 212 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• Shawn nodded as he looked down. Mr. Rogers Sr. did not notice the faint mockery in his eyes, and he thought he did not mind his rough language earlier. Thus, he liked this son even more in his heart. He got Shawn to sit on the sofa beside him as he looked anxiously in the direction of the main door. Mr. Rogers Sr. was about to get up to go to the door when the two men he had sent hurriedly walked in through the main door of the manor. Mr. Rogers Sr. looked over with some agitation, yet when he saw no one behind them, his entire expression turned icy.
• “Give me a good reason. Why didn’t you two bring Nicole back?” The two bodyguards looked at his terrifying expression, and even the muscular-looking man’s voice trembled as he spoke. “We wanted to bring Miss Riddle over, but we ran into Mr. Johnston.” ‘‘Mr. Johnston?’ ‘Which Mr. Johnston?’ The bodyguard said cautiously, “The very person you told us that we could not afford to offend.” Mr. Rogers Sr.’s expression immediately changed. He recalled that Jared had left with Nicole during his birthday banquet. Since then, he had already started to be suspicious about their relationship.
• He did not expect Jared to still be ambiguous with Nicole. In fact, after the Johnston family drew a distance away from the Riddle family, the Riddle family had never announced to the outside world that they had arranged a marriage between two babies. Even Mr. Riddle Sr. dared not mention this, so that was why, when Nicole wanted out of the arrangement, Jared simply went along. After all, the two families were already too far apart. Therefore, very few people in the outside world knew that the two had a marriage arrangement.
