Chapter 69 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• Celia worked up the nerve to look at Nicole. When she saw Nicole looking indifferent toward her, she thought of how Nicole did not mention that she had bullied her. So, Celia mustered her courage and said, “Nothing much. There’s just a little misunderstanding between Nicole and me.” Before she could finish, Jared scoffed coldly, “Just a little misunderstanding, and you’ve hired so many thugs to barricade her?” Jared thought, ‘Do I look that gullible?’ Celia was immediately startled when Jared said that, unable to speak Nicole could not stand Celia’s cowardly look and told Jared flatly, “Let’s go.” Even without Jared, Nicole could not be harmed by Celia, not even if there were ten of them. It was just that Nicole did not want to waste her energy on Celia. Jared heard Nicole and shot Celia a glance with a half-smile.
• “Don’t let me see you ever again.” After all, Nicole was still his fiancée. No one should touch her without his permission! After that, Nicole and Jared left, one behind the other. From far, their leisure footsteps seemed in line with each other. Celia was left frozen on the spot as if Jared’s last glance had bewitched her to stay at the same spot. She did not move an inch for a period of time. Celia’s eyes were filled with extreme fear as Jared’s words had pulled her to hell. She knew that Jared was definitely not joking. Though Nicole knew that Jared was the heir of the Johnston family, she did not know how powerful Jared really was. However, when she saw Celia’s expression just now, she could tell that Jared surely had a high status. ‘I wonder what brings someone as prestigious as him to Royal Creek Institute?’ While she was pondering, she asked Jared suspiciously, “Why are you at Royal Creek Institute? “Me? I’m obviously here to reminisce with Mr. Ellison.” Nicole fell silent. Speaking of Mr. Ellison, Nicole suddenly felt guilty as she thought, “This Jared wouldn’t have asked questions that are not meant to be asked, right?” “Did Mr. Ellison give you a call today?”
• Jared asked curiously as he thought about Mr. Ellison’s phone call when he walked into his office. “Yeah.” Nicole nodded instinctively, but she quickly frowned. “What does Mr. Ellison calling me has got to do with you?” Jared laughed. “I’m just curious. Mr. Ellison… seemed to treat you better than his own grandchild.” Nicole rolled her eyes at him. “It’s none of your business.” Jared’s eyes darkened as he watched her walking forward. ‘Who on earth is Nicole?’ She had tasted the coffee beans from his private estate, and Mr. Ellison had a special affinity with her. But after so many days, Jared still could not find out Nicole’s true information. He found it incredibly odd. When he saw Nicole almost entering the caféteria, she immediately blinked at Nicole. “Do you want to head on over to my café? There’s western food now, and everything is free if you visit the shop.” Nicole stopped instantly as she was very fond of the coffee from his café. If she could order some western food, it would be even better. “Sure, but it doesn’t have to be free.” It did not cost much to her, so she could still afford it. “Oh?” Jared could not help but arch his brows. His café only had high spenders. Even some wealthy kids were reluctant to pay. But Nicole did not even bat an eye…
