Chapter 1754
Due to the circumstances at hand, Stanley needed to use one of the cars at home, leaving only one car in the
house, which was Nicole's car. Unfortunately, they could not drive their younger sister's car to school.
At that moment, Nicole was already waiting for Jared outside. It did take him a while to drive out, but as soon as he
did, Nicole immediately got into the car.
Jared became a little suspicious as to why Nicole was already up so early." Why did you come out so early?" "I was
looking forward to seeing you," Nicole replied with a sweet smile, having no intention to hide her feelings.
Noticing Nicole acting so cutely, Jared could not resist himself. "Okay. In that case, I'll come over earlier to wait for
you tomorrow.
"No, it's okay. You're really busy every day and you often go to bed very late at night. You can sleep in for a bit,"
Nicole said thoughtfully.
"Sleep is not as important as you are." Jared replied after thinking long and hard. 'As long as I can spend more time
with her, it doesn't matter if I don't get enough sleep." "Ugh, how cheesy can you be?" Nicole playfully pushed him,

Jared smiled, and as he drove the car, he started a conversation about something which had transpired yesterday.
"Last night would have been utterly perfect if it wasn't for a certain someone who had decided to ruin it."
Hearing that, Nicole immediately knew who he was referring to. "You want to ask about the scene Chloe caused,
right?”
Jared raised his eyebrows. "It wasn't a question. The fingerprints on the prop car had been taken and sent to the
police yesterday. It matched the fingerprints of one of the workers. His confession, however, was made by Chloe's
manager, and Max had sent that information to the police. After he arrived at the station, both of them would be
charged for the failed attempted murder and the hiring of a worker to injure an innocent person. Their charges will
start from three years in prison."
Nicole raised her eyebrows, "I knew I could depend on you. You've even caught the guy who is responsible for all of
this." "I've told you that I won't let anyone hurt you, and that includes Chloe." Jared's eyes darkened for a moment.
"Anyway, the manager should've confessed that Chloe had ordered them to do it and even if she has denied it, I'll
still find a way to corner her."
Nicole knew for certain that Jared would find a hundreds of ways to make things go the way he wanted it to be.
However, what she wanted was far worse.
"Just send her into the slammer. It's a little too cheap for us to let her off the hook so easily." Nicole darted Jared a
glance, after which she took her phone out.
Jared had woken up early to ask Max for the latest update. Much to his surprise, Chloe had reached the trending
searches. Apparently, she had gotten herself into an accident in which she had fallen from an area of high elevation
from the wires, collapsing her lumbar vertebrae and paralyzing her from the waist down.
Jared's eyes darkened at once. "Did you cause this?"
He had never seen the cruel and merciless side of Nicole prior to this.
Nicole glanced ahead with an expression that spelled that which was unsaid. ‘She made me do it. I only predicted
what would happen and switched our wires around."
In an instant, Jared's eyes became bloodshot. 'That pathetic excuse of a human! How dare she do this to Nicole?' "If
it wasn't for her, I think that none of us would have decided to harm her deliberately," Nicole issued a huge sigh of
relief.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Up until the very last moment, she was still void of any humanity and ethics. Instead she cursed me out, telling me
to die," Nicole lamented.
As soon as Nicole thought of the scene, she began to feel a little distraught. 'Raine, Snow, and now Chloe. These
are all the cousins whom I've just met, but why are they so violent and spiteful to me as compared to the others? It
was obvious that I didn't really care about what they thought I did, and yet, they just wouldn't stop coming at me
repeatedly. Each attempt they’ve made was worse than the last, and they’ve progressed to the point where they
wanted to kill me.'
Under Nicole's cold and unemotional facade was a strange mixture of loneliness and sadness, and when he noticed
this, Jared leaned forward with his arms open and hugged her. "It's their own narrow-mindedness and pettiness.
Family members like them are not worth keeping around.”
Nicole's heart was once more soothed thanks to the warm words from Jared as she began leaning on his shoulder.
"Yesterday, while I was watching Chloe fall from a great height, spurting blood out while glaring at me, I felt
sorrowful. Not sure if it was for me or for her. It was not until I reached home that I started to ponder...whether I
had done the right thing or not," she said.
"Of course, you did the right thing." Jared frowned. "In any case, you have loving parents and brothers who love you
and cherish you very much. You don't have to dwell on the thought of what your family thinks about you."
