Chapter 2277


    Iris was trembling badly, as if a basin of cold water had just poured on her head.


    It made sense. She had lost her chance and she made too many mistakes. It never urred to her that


    Nicole was already Jared’s wife.


    By chance, Iris had heard that Jared had a wife in the past. But from what she understood, thedy


    was long gone. And now, she suddenly returned and was alive with two kids.


    The siren of the police car sounded in Iris’s ears. She knew that everything was over for her. Her face


    turned pale.


    Iris remained silent the whole time when she was being brought onto the police car. She seemed to


    have lost the will and energy to live. Even her eyes looked as if she were in a daze.


    After watching the police car leave, Max ordered his men to leave. When he was finally alone, he


    heaved a sigh and shook his head.


    ‘Iris is such a fool! Even if Ms. Nicole never returned, Iris would’ve never had a chance,’ Max thought.


    ‘If Ms. Nicole never returned and disappeared forever, Mr. Jared would probably be single for the rest


    of her life.’


    While this was happening, Jared and Nicole were on their way back home already.


    Jared drove. And while driving, he kept smiling and ncing at Nicole from time to time.


    “What are you smiling at?” Nicole could tell that there were some eyes gazing at her, so she could not


    help but re at Jared.


    “You’ve just publicly announced our rtionship.” Jared nced at Nicole, and he seemed to be


    saying, ‘You can’t escape from me anymore.’


    “I was just reminding Iris of her position. It has nothing to do with you.” Nicole purposefully disyed a


    cold look.


    It was as if she was saying, ‘Those were just in exnations to refute Iris. There was no need to


    take it to heart.’


    Jared seemed to understand Nicole’s reaction, so he replied calmly, “I heard it with my own ears, so it


    counts.”


    “Hmph!” Nicole huffed, acting prideful.


    Jaredughed and pinched Nicole’s hand. Then, he continued to focus on his driving.


    Leaning on the car seat, Nicole looked out of the window, and a smile formed on her face.


    The next morning, there was a hugemotion in the Riddle family because of the news.


    Everyone gradually gathered downstairs and began to discuss the news out of shock.


    “Does that mean their rtionship is going to be official?”


    “It doesn’t seem like it. This looks like paparazzi work.”


    “Then what are they trying to do? Does this look like announcing their rtionship to the world or


    refuting rumors?”


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Nicole looked at how confused and worried everyone seemed. She smiled andforted them, “Mom,


    Dad, let Samuel and June decide on their own.”


    In fact, Nicole felt that this would be good for Samuel and June. Both of them had been arguing for a


    long time. A little push like this might bring them closer.


    “The problem is we can’t tell what their decision is.” Gloria sighed.


    If Samuel and June could clearly state their stance on this matter, Gloria would have gotten a


    grandchild by now.


    “But it’s different this time. After all, they’re being exposed already.” Nicoleughed.


    Hearing this, Gloria nodded. “That’s true. Well, I guess I should ask the wedding management


    company to speed up.”


    Initially, Gloria thought of making the necessary arrangements first. Once Samuel recovered, she would


    discuss the details with Samuel and June. Looking at the current situation, they would not have to wait


    much longer. They could hold the wedding as soon as Samuel recovered.


    “I’ll visit him after today’s show,” Spencer volunteered.


    “I’ll go over after work too.” Nicole was also curious as to how the two of them would deal with being


    exposed.
