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
uncomfortable 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"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 place.
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 ambulance
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 he lacked in comparison 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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbefore. 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.
Tve 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 slack 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.
