Chapter 1801
'How am I supposed to stomach this?'
Then, he immediately rushed forward and gave Lloyd a kick.
'Thank goodness I came in time!' he thought.
The panic Nicole was feeling as she was held by Lloyd slowly dissipated the instant she allowed Jared to hug her.
After that, she whispered, "I'm fine. Your timing was perfect."
As of a minute ago, Lloyd was behaving as if he had lost his mind.
He actually tried to take advantage of the scene to force a kiss upon me?!' Nicole thought in disbelief.
To make matters worse, Nachelle knew all about this, and yet, she had allowed her son to do as he pleased without
calling for a cut to the scene at all.
Lloyd knew all too well how Nicole operated and how she would react. In fact, she nearly fell victim to his tricks. The
humiliation she had been given made her furious.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was then that Nachelle rushed over with her crew to help Lloyd up. "Lloyd, are you alright?"
She was appalled to see her son lying in a pile of broken glass with his back bleeding. "Are you hurt?! Oh god,
you're bleeding!"
The crew member by the side immediately yelled as soon as he saw that. 'Til call the ambulance!"
When everyone else heard that Lloyd had been injured, they scrambled over to help him up.
Nachelle became livid at that instant as she glared at Jared. "Mr. Johnston! This is the Holder's film set! How can you
just barge in like that!? Aside from interrupting our shoot, you've even struck an actor of ours!"
Lloyd was her darling baby, and ever since he returned home, she had given him everything he wanted while not
allowing any harm or grievances to befall him. Yet, after his reunion with Nicole, he had been subjected to countless
humiliations and rejections. To top it all off, Jared had now struck her son!
Jared could see that Nachelle was angry, but this did not bother him at all. "So what? This may be your crew, but
don't you forget, I'm the investor here!"
He had spent a great deal of money just to have a firm say on things and yet, Nachelle had attempted to weasel
out of the deal and turn it against him. She had previously agreed not to arrange too many scenes involving
intimate contact for Nicole, and yet, she had allowed Lloyd to commit this very travesty today.
If he was a moment too late, Lloyd would have defiled her. Even as of now, Jared wanted to gut him standing.
'That kick wasn't as powerful as it should be!' he thought,
"So, what if you're an investor! You think the Holders are short on money? We can cancel the contract right now if
that's the case!" Nachelle yelled, determined that she would use the scorched earth approach on anyone who
would dare to hurt her son regardless of who they were.
Jared sneered as soon as he heard that. "Sure. Pay me fivefold in compensation, then."
Even if everyone in the country feared the Holder family, he did not. He had already included that clause in the
contract as he feared that the old wily fox would attempt to pull a stunt like this somewhere down the line.
"You!”
Although the Holder family could place influential people in chokeholds by using their dark secrets against them,
they were always short on liquid money. Otherwise, Nachelle would not have agreed to Jared's investment. Still, she
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhad failed to foresee that this decision alone would halt the entire production. That very same decision had resulted
in Jared hurting her son, and now, all she wanted to do was to ruin the Johnston group right there and then.
"Of course, we can also come to a peaceful dissolution of the contract, under the condition that Nicole gets to leave
the production team from today onwards!" Jared stated, for he already had enough of this farce.
Nachelle was a fox, and so was Lloyd. Both of them had utilized favors to get Nicole to stay in the production team,
and both had also schemed to take her away from him. The only reason he had allowed Nicole to become a part of
it was because he trusted her. However, this did not mean that he would allow anyone to mistreat her the way they
did.
"Don't... even think..." Lloyd, who had gotten up, hissed as he shot Jared a murderous glare.
He had finally gotten the chance to have more contact with Nicole, and even if he had to do so through the film, he
wanted to make more good memories with her.
And Jared wants to ruin all of that?!' Lloyd fumed.
At that moment, Nicole, who was totally disappointed with Lloyd, walked over and said, "This, I'm afraid, is not your
call to make."
Dejection appeared in Nicole's eyes as Lloyd was at a loss for words. He had seen such a look in Nicole's eyes
before, and he knew that the very moment she gave him that look, it meant that she would definitely not change
her mind.
