Chapter 306
Mr. Rogers Sr. walked someone tiredly toward his room. Shawn wanted to follow but was stopped by
Mr. Rogers Sr.
“I want some quiet time by myself.” When he heard this, Shawn immediately stopped. As he looked at
Mr. Rogers Sr.’s figure gradually disappearing into the dim corridor, Shane turned to look at the dusk
outside the manor as a cold smile appeared on his face.
The time is nigh. The old man could be really old, and he is extremely fearful. He had done everything
in his power to extend his life.
So much so that he could not even see through Christopher’s tricks. But that Nicole… Shawn had
never seen such a person who didn’t give the Rogers family any face. However, she was still someone
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtof high birth, so she might have some level of conceit to her.
When Shawn thought of this, he snorted as he took the skin-colored gloves off his hand and tossed
them into the dustbin with disgust.
The old man’s will has already been changed. He only needed to entertain him with this faux filial piety
for a while longer than he could see him off. Jared sent Nicole back to the Riddle family manner, and
before getting off, he gently grabbed her wrist.
“Are you heading back after this?”
Nicole had no idea that the person who almost tracked down her IP, the person that she had been so
on guard against, was before her. She paused for a moment and then nodded.
She had no plans to stay the night at the Riddle manor.
Oddly enough, when a person grabbed her wrist, she would smack the person silly by conditioned
reflex, yet when Jared grabbed her wrist, she showed no signs of struggle at all. Even Nicole herself
felt a little incredulous. Jared’s lips curled upwards as he heard that. His face, while basking in the
twilight, had an irresistible charm to it.
“I’ll pick you up later then?” Nicole paused for a moment as she turned and looked at Jared with
puzzlement on her face.” Aren’t you busy?” Jared’s smile paused as he slowly let her go and started to
doubt himself.
‘Am I not handsome enough?’
‘Why is Nicole always so resistant to me.’
Nicole looked at his expression with a smile in her eyes. She grabbed Jared’s hand and
His eyes immediately lit up as he looked firmly at her. As if he saw through the shallow facade in her
eyes, a half-smile gradually appeared on his face. “You did that on purpose?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole looked at him, his eyes gleaming bright like clear lake water in autumn. It may look cold, but her
lips subconsciously formed a shallow arc.
That was exclusive only for him. Jared looked back at her in the eyes, and as he saw himself in her
clear, bright eyes, his mood inexplicably became much better.
“Go in then. I’ll wait for you.” Nicole nodded, and just as she opened the door, she found out that three
big mushrooms had sprouted by the Riddle manor’s main gate.
Both Samuel and Spencer were looking at Nicole somewhat begrudgingly while Stanley massaged his
chin. His eyes were deep as he looked at Jared. He had already walked close earlier, and if she still did
not come down, he was prepared to knock on the car window.
Jared’s car was so heavily tinted that they could not see what was going on inside the car at all!
Stanley’s gaze toward Jared was somewhat unfriendly, yet when he turned to Nicole, it became very
mellow. “Nicole, what took you so long?” They had planned to come back home to pay Mr. Riddle Sr. a
visit after school, yet no one expected Nicole to be so late.
