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.
"Fiorella 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 Fiorella attempted the occasional 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 be coming tonight, right?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPerhaps, it was high time for Nicole to show Fiorella the kind of person she truly was. Previously, Nicole had been so
kind to the latter that Fiorella had the gumption to think of herself as a rival to Nicole.
Tonight, Nicole would shatter all of Fiorella'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. The large 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 occupied 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 the last 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 families coming over, Harvey became even more confused.
"I did not hear any rumor about the Riddle family. Why are there so many people coming? Are they all here just for
Mr. Riddle Sr.?"
In response, Mr. Ellison glanced 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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas 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 are coming 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 blared 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 nonetheless. "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.
