Chapter 229 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• Lyana turned around stiffly with a gentle smile on her face. However, it did not match what she had just said. “Jared, you and I are a match. We’re in the same social ranks. I know you have some good friends outside, but there is no reason to get angry over her.” In Lyana’s eyes, Nicole is just Jared’s plaything. That is why she dared to call her out in front of him. Nicole thought Lyana was funny. ‘A match? Same social ranks?’ Jared smiled at hearing that. For a moment, it seemed like thousands of flowers were blooming in front of Lyana’s eyes.
• However, his pupils darkened the next second. His voice was cold and sharp. ” Lyana, if you’re too comfortable in your position, I don’t mind letting you step down and take a rest.” Lyana stared at him as he spoke. His words cut through her like a knife. Although his tone was not harsh, she knew that he was serious. She couldn't help but shudder at the thought of what the third household of the Rogers family had gone through after offending the Johnston family.
• Jared noticed Nicole’s eyes on him. He turned to look at her, and the coldness on his face dissipated. “GO,” he said softly. Nicole nodded, turned away, and continued walking into the family home. She was relieved that she did not have to deal with Lyana’s nonsense. Lyana’s eyes reddened with anger when she saw how protective Jared was of Nicole. She glared at her back angrily. Her glare was as if she wanted to burn a hole in her back. However, when Jared turned to face her, she slowly lowered her head in fear. His eyes were dull, but there was something unmistakable in his gaze.
