Chapter 1518


    Noticing that they were both flirting now, the man kneeling on the ground quickly asked, "C-can I go


    now?”


    Jared rolled his eyes. "Scram and never appear in front of me again!"


    Otherwise, Jared would not let him off the hook that easily next time.


    "Yes. Yes. Yes." The man was so scared that he was crawling on the floor.


    He then picked his cap up and left.


    "Fiore really underestimated me. She actually got an idiot to attack me," Nicole sneered.


    Noticing Nicole''s displeasure, Jared replied, "I''ll make sure that she pays for everything that has


    happened today."


    Jared was already engaged to Nicole. He could turn a blind eye whenever Fiore attempted the


    asional flirt.


    However, the moment she ordered an assault on Nicole out of malice, Jared decided that he would not


    let this slide.


    Noticing that Jared was being serious, she stopped teasing him, "The Fisher family will being


    tonight, right?”


    Perhaps, it was high time for Nicole to show Fiore the kind of person she truly was. Previously,


    Nicole had been so kind to thetter that Fiore had the gumption to think of herself as a rival to


    Nicole.


    Tonight, Nicole would shatter all of Fiore’s illusions.


    "Let''s go. I''m already looking forward to tonight''s dinner." Nicole, who usually despised events that


    required plenty of socializing, could not contain her smile. However, that very same smiled proceeded


    to weird Jared out.


    In the evening, the sun was gradually setting as the crimson hues were cast on the sky. Under the glow


    of eventide, the Riddle family manor proceeded to open their gates for the dinner event. Therge


    stretch of turf at the garden was also opened for guests.


    However, there was still an endless stream of guests at the entrance. The hall was soon to be upied


    while the garden was crowded as well. In addition, the ten most influential and prestigious families of


    San Joto had sent their representatives to the event as well.


    When Mr. Ellison and the Johnston family had arrived, they were greeted with the scene of a massive


    crowd.


    "This is the biggest gathering in San Joto within thest thirty years."

    Although the Ellison family was the second family out of the ten, they were not capable of bringing in


    representatives from each branch and generation. Moreover, apart from those families from San Joto


    whose names they could mention, there were also some powerful families abroad, most of whom Jared


    had never even met them before. All he could do was look at the badge on pinned to their fronts


    clearly, before finding out who they were.


    Harvey did not understand why his grandfather had dragged him along to the Riddle family manor.


    Seeing that there were more familiesing over, Harvey became even more confused.


    "I did not hear any rumor about the Riddle family. Why are there so many peopleing? Are they all


    here just for Mr. Riddle Sr.?"


    In response, Mr. Ellison nced at Harvey and issued a sigh.


    At that point, Mr. Ellison had not talked informed Harvey about the Reby Family Crest. He knew that


    Harvey''s heart was set on Nicole, but as he knew that Nicole had already been engaged to Jared, he


    did not want Harvey to discover her identity and wound up with regrets. Therefore, Mr. Ellison had


    continued stalling whilst withholding the news from Harvey.


    Mr. Ellison could only breathe a long sigh, “Soon enough, you''ll find out who these people areing


    for."


    On the other hand, Harvey had roughly guessed that Mr. Ellison was hiding something from him, but he


    was not in the mood to press on.


    At that moment, his heart was set on Nicole. He had heard that Nicole had returned home, but he had


    no idea where she had gone off to. He had not seen her at all.


    "Harvey!" a voice red out at once, surprising him.


    Harvey turned around and that was when he saw Snow all dressed up as she approached him.


    Harvey was quite disappointed, but he remained polite nheless. "It has been a while."


    Throughout the holidays, Harvey had been working for Nicole, and because of this, he did not have


    anytime to spend with Snow.


    No matter how many times Snow called or texted, Harvey would ignore her and reject her advances.


    Indeed, he was not expecting Snow to be so friendly during their next meeting.
