Chapter 2300
At that very moment, the couple's radiance illuminated the entire place, making it even more dazzling.
"Mr. and Mrs. Johnston!"
Some familiar people approached and started chatting with Jared.
Gradually, others also gathered around, surrounding Jared and Nicole in the middle.
After listening to their small talk, which was mostly about business matters, Nicole gestured to Jared and quietly
excused herself from the crowd.
She let out a sigh of relief once she stepped out. She looked around the venue. However, she did not see anyone
she knew, so she found a quiet spot and sat down.
The charity banquet was attended by celebrities from all walks of life in San Joto. But since it was still early,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteveryone was mingling freely. Nicole, on the other hand, did not feel like engaging in conversation with anyone and
wanted to sit quietly by herself, waiting for Jared to join her later.
Suddenly, a shadow loomed over her. Nicole's eyebrows furrowed as she raised her head to see who it was.
"Leo!" she exclaimed in surprise. "You're here for the event too?"
"Yes, I received an invitation," Lawrence replied. He smiled as he sat beside Nicole.
Curious, she asked, "Alone?"
"Ian went to park the car," Lawrence replied nonchalantly.
For some reason, Nicole felt unsure why, but there seemed to be a bit of tension between them.
She suddenly recalled the account she saw on the Hunters last night. She hesitated and frowned in confusion but
decided not to ask about it.
Lawrence began chatting with her, his smile carrying a hint of playfulness. "All alone here, huh? I suppose you don't
enjoy such lively events?"
"Probably because I don't really know anyone here," Nicole replied, not thinking too much about it.
She just did not want to talk to anyone since she was not acquainted with them. She did not even want to talk about
work matters with those she had business relations with. It was better to sit quietly by herself.
"Same here. Guess I'll just stick with someone I know." Lawrence looked like he was going to stay for a while.
Nicole could not help but smile defeatedly. "You don't have to keep me company. It's kind of necessary to socialize
today."
She noticed that everyone was trying to get close to the people they wanted something from. Even if they could not
discuss business projects today, building relationships now would only make things go smoother in the future.
Lawrence did not seem to care and replied, "It's alright. Since it's a charity banquet, there's no harm in focusing on
doing good."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs they chatted, Lawrence's gentle demeanor attracted some curious glances from others.
Nicole narrowed her eyes as she sensed their impure gazes. After all, where there were people, there would be
gossip.
"It's about time. Let's go to our seats." Nicole figured that it was better to maintain a certain distance from
Lawrence at this moment.
As Jared's wife, it would be strange if she chatted with others and not with Jared.
Seeing Nicole stand up, Lawrence understood her intentions and could only comply with her decision.
As they were about to move toward their seats, Nicole's eyes widened slightly as they met two people coming their
way.
It was Snow. So naturally, the person beside her must be Harvey.
Nicole glanced at Harvey discreetly. He was indeed the wealthy and handsome man who captivated Snow. But
unfortunately, his heart was dark, and his good looks were meaningless.
