Chapter 1749


    The overall time Nicole had spent, including the waiting time it took for the food to be served, as well as


    the time she had spent interacting with others, did not exceed 20 minutes.


    Nachelle was left perplexed for a moment as she was the director and the host for the night.


    She was taken aback by the fact that Nicole had made suchments about the food and would


    attempt to leave just like that.

    Lloyd, who was looking at Nicole, felt a surge of pain in his temples.


    ''Nicole has always been like this.


    In the past, no matter how important the person was, she would just walk out on them if they piss her


    off.


    My mother had employed an aggressive tone when talking to Nicole.


    She must''ve been fed up with it.'' "Okay, let me see you off," Lloyd said.


    "Lloyd Holder!!!" Nachelle belted, unable to believe her eyes and ears as she watched her son offering


    to see Nicole off.


    ‘How shameless of him!'' she fumed.


    "Mom, please take your time to enjoy your meal.


    I''m almost done with mine, so I''ll go and see Nicole out." After Lloyd had spoken, he went up to Nicole


    and said, "Let''s go." Nicole wanted to refuse but when she noticed that Lloyd was anxious to lead her


    out of the room, she decided to hold her displeasure in for his sake.


    After all, Lloyd had helped her, so she did not think much about it.


    “Alright, let''s get going," Nicole said indifferently.


    With that, Nachelle''s original dinner n to get the two of them to spend more time together resulted in


    them both leaving her alone.


    Everyone in the room was staring at her, causing Nachelle to yell, "Carry on eating!" Hearing that,


    everyone immediately lowered their heads and hurriedly ate their food up.


    No one dared to muster a sound after that.


    The atmosphere of the entire dinner party went downhill quickly.


    Nachelle was soon downing ss after ss of wine as she thought about the attitude Nicole had


    given her earlier.


    ‘IT had allowed my precious son to fall into her hands, and she dared to disrespect me! This woman is


    spoiled to the core.


    If she''s ever going to enter our family in the future, I will have to train her from the basics..." On the


    other hand, Nicole and Lloyd had already walked out of the restaurant, whereupon Nicole took a step


    back, keeping a distance from Lloyd, and said, "You don''t need to see me off.


    I can take a cab home." "How can I let you do that, letting a woman get on a taxi by herselfte at


    night?" Lloyd frowned.


    “Are you afraid that I''ll be in danger?'' Nicole snorted coldly.


    "I think it should be the other way around." Lloyd immediately fell silent.


    "I know you''re very strong...but still Tam worried about you.


    There are many eyes on you now, and your safety is definitely a priority." Nicole did not mention that


    Jared''s guards were always around watching and protecting her from afar.


    ''How can I refuse his offer? AS Nicole was thinking about how to decline Lloyd''s offer, a Rolls Royce


    rolled up at the driveway.


    Nicole immediately smiled as she recognized the car.


    However, Lloyd, who recognized the car too, was livid as he followed her gaze and noticed her smile


    that was all too familiar when she saw Jared.


    The car steadily halted in front of the two of them.


    Jared then got out of the car proudly, strutted up to Nicole and Lloyd with his long legs, and pulled


    Nicole to him by her waist, bringing her into a hug.


    It was as if he wanted to dere his dominance.


    "It''ste now.


    Why aren''t you going home?" Jared had concluded his meetings when Max informed him that Nicole


    was having dinner with the filming crew.


    He knew that it must have been one of Lloyd''s tricks, and thus, he had immediately driven to the


    restaurant himself.


    "The rest of the crew are having dinner.


    I was about to leave after I decided I was done with all of the courtesies," Nicole said in alow voice.


    Jared noticed that Lloyd was clenching his fists, and turning a blind eye to it, he proceeded to say, ''''Mr.


    Holder.


    My fiancée here already has a hard time showing up for filming right after schoo] every day.


    I hope you won''t arrange anymore of these frivolous dinners for her in the future." "It was in fact


    meaningless and frivolous, as Lloyd had arranged it to satiate his contempt and greed.''
