Chapter 317 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• Claus subconsciously turned around to look at Jared's expression. If there was a need, he would straight away kill this man, who had clearly crossed the line under his boss' instructions. Yet, he only saw that Jared was slowly pulling Nicole's hand up. His handsome face was layered with frost. The moment he turned to Nicole, however, it disappeared.He smiled as he turned Nicole toward him and asked gently. "Are you going with him?" Nicole looked at Jared's extremely immaculate face in a daze. The stray hairs on his forehead were combed back, revealing his full forehead. His eyes were rolling with imperceptible emotions, as if something were raging inside, much like the coming of a storm.

Nicole ignored them as she held Jared's hand, holding her face, and then she turned toward Lloyd, who was down on one knee before her. Everyone heard her calm voice, and it was so clear even in this hall that it had gone from being silent to cacophonous. "I was never yours, Lloyd." "So, where did this talk of me coming back to you come from?"
• After hearing Nicole's rather direct words, everyone's eyes widened in surprise. The young master of the Holder family was rejected just like that! Many of the ladies were cursing Nicole's ignorance, but even some men muttered secretly to themselves. "Regardless of anything else, no matter how powerful the Johnston family is, Jared's position as heir of the family is still not assured, while Lloyd had just been personally named as heir by Nachelle Holder earlier, and his position was secured, so normally one would choose Lloyd instead, right?’ Thinking of this, they looked at Nicole in contempt. ‘This woman is really not smart enough.'
