Chapter 1802


    "Lloyd, I''ve only agreed to do all of this because you''ve aided me back then. However, you''ve made me


    extremely ufortable today, and I''ve decided to stop the shoot for now. Don''t worry, I''ll repay you


    what I owe, but in another way," she said.


    Indeed, it was not like Lloyd''s intelligence could not be bought with money. It was just that she had no


    need for them before. As of now, she no longer wished to cooperate with this insatiable mother-and-


    son duo. If anyone else could provide her with the intel she needed for a price, she would pay even


    more money to get it done.


    At that instant, Lloyd felt a wave of numbing coldness radiating from within.


    "Nicole..." he uttered, still wanting to say something.


    However, Nicole had already lost her patience. "Let''s go. Take me away from here."


    She was really tired and only wanted to leave this ce.


    Seeing that, Jared held onto Nicole and walked her out in domineering fashion, and as he did so, no


    one dared to try to stop him, not even Nachelle. The mother-and-son duo could only watch as the two


    made their exit.


    Noticing that the crew was staring at Lloyd''s sorry state, Nachelle fumed. "Why are you just standing


    there!? Hurry up and send Lloyd to the hospital!"


    It was only then that everyone snapped back to reality and hurried over to help Lloyd out of the set. The


    ambnce had already arrived by then, so they did what they were supposed to, and helped him onto


    it.


    Concurrently, Lloyd could no longer feel the pain on his body, and his eyes had totally lost their luster.


    His heart was pining for Nicole, and he really could not help what he had done. He then recalled how


    Nicole had reacted to him.


    He truly could not understand what hecked inparison to Jared. It made little sense to him as to


    why Nicole would be so repulsed by him.


    With his heart ripped to shreds, he could only close his eyes and allow the pain in his heart to fester. ''I


    hate this... I hate this so much. If Jared is no longer around, will Nicole give me a chance?''


    Inside Jared''s vehicle, Nicole leaned against the car window in exhaustion as she looked out with


    downcast eyes.


    Noticing that, Jared could not help himself from pulling her over and letting her rest her head against


    his chest.


    Hearing Jared''s heartbeat, she felt an inexplicable sense of relief.


    "Thank you..." She closed her eyes and whispered softly.


    Back then, she was the one taking care of others, and never once had she ever been caught in such a


    situation before. It was because of Lloyd and her history with him in the past that had caused her to be


    careless.


    It was only after they had fought that she realized that Lloyd had never forsaken his training. The


    amount of strength and the sort of techniques he had employed against her earlier made her realize


    that he was much stronger than before.

    It was because of these factors that she was rendered immobile at that time.


    ''I''ve really underestimated Lloyd. He is no longer that sidekick who would just follow behind me,'' she


    surmised.


    ''Yeah, for the Holders to control the lifeblood of information, they must possess exceptional skills in


    order to defend themselves,'' she continued. ''Still, why would he ck on his training?''


    Sensing that Nicole was a little exhausted, Jared asked, "Is it because of Lloyd? You look... a little sad."


    He had many rivals, and Lloyd was just another one to him. Yet, it was only today that he realized the


    essential difference between Lloyd and Harvey: there was a history between Nicole and Lloyd that he


    did not know about.
