Chapter 866


    Chloe was transfixed in her ce. Am I not here to seek justice for myself? Howe it ends up with


    me having to apologize?’ Seeing Chloe freeze, Henry reminded her.


    “What are you thinking? Apologize to Mr. Johnston.” Only then did Chloe snap back and look at Jared


    with reluctance.


    “No need to apologize to me. Apologize to this, Ms. Riddle.” Jared looked at Nicole. Henry spoke up for


    Chloe.


    “It’s inappropriate , isn’t it? She’s a popr actress, after all. How can she apologize to a student?”


    “Inappropriate? I think it’s appropriate,” Jared said with a not-to-be-questioned tone of voice. Henry


    took a breath and gave Chloe a wink. Chloe looked at Nicole with great reluctance before squeezing


    out an apology with difficulty.

    “I’m sorry if I have done something wrong, Miss. Riddle.” Nicole nced at her and said, “Stop doing


    something that you know would offend the others next time. Or else it will be you who will bear the


    consequences.”


    ‘How dare this brat wants to lecture me? If Jared hadn’t backed you up, I would have ripped your


    mouth off.’ Chloe stared at her with a grim look and stopped talking.


    “Well, if there’s nothing else, we’ll leave.” Henry hurried to leave as he was afraid that they might


    cause further unnecessary trouble for themselves.


    “Take care, Uncle Henry.” Jared watched them leave.


    Jared came to sit beside Nicole and asked, “Are you happy now?”


    “Yup. Give me a wink if there is something interesting like thising up next time.” Nicole felt so


    fulfilled when Chloe apologized to her, and she got to lecture Chloe.


    “I do hope it doesn’t happen again.” He did not want to be putting her through the wringer.


    “Okay.”


    “Just now, they said Chloe was shooting at yourpany?” Nicole asked as she suddenly


    remembered the conversation she had just heard.


    “Yeah, thepany’s new product is about to go on sale, so they make her the brand ambassador,”


    Jared exined.


    “What’s wrong? Do you have a problem with that?”


    “Won’t you be tempted with such beauty appearing in front of your eyes every day?” Nicole said with


    wistful amusement.


    “What’s going on in your little devil’s head? How could I be tempted by this level of beauty of her? Are


    you unsure of yourself?” Jared raised an eyebrow at her.


    “I have confidence in myself. Just that there are too many mate poachers out there that not even men


    of the cloth could stand the temptation.” Nicole ridiculed him.


    “How dare youpare me to the clergymen? I will fix you, good and proper.” Jared grabbed her at


    once.


    “I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” Nicole begged. Jared caught an opportunity and would not let her go easily. The


    two of them flirted with each other in the office for a while before Jared let her go.


    “You’re so naughty. I’mughing so hard I’m out of breath.” Nicole dropped to the couch and giggled.


    “Did you find out about the source of your poisoning at thest partyst time?” It was only when


    Nicole saw Chloe today that she remembered the incident.


    “Not yet.”


    “Then watch out for Chloe,” Nicole said.


    “You sound like you know something.” Jared keenly sensed something in her words.


    “I’m just guessing. There is no actual evidence.Otherwise, it would have pursued the matter.”  Jared


    yfully came up to her.


    “I’m not afraid. I have you. I’m not worried if I get drugged again.”
