Chapter 1749


    Chapter 1749


    The overall time Nicole had spent, including the waiting time it took for the food to be served, as well as


    the time she had spent interacting with others, did not exceed 20 minutes.


    Nachelle was left perplexed for a moment as she was the director and the host for the night. She was


    taken aback by the fact that Nicole had made suchments about the food and would attempt to


    leave just like that.


    Lloyd, who was looking at Nicole, felt a surge of pain in his temples. ''Nicole has always been like this.


    In the past, no matter how important the person was, she would just walk out on them if they piss her


    off. My mother had employed an aggressive tone when talking to Nicole. She must''ve been fed up with


    it.''


    "Okay, let me see you off," Lloyd said.


    "Lloyd Holder!!!" Nachelle belted, unable to believe her eyes and ears as she watched her son offering


    to see Nicole off.


    ''How shameless of him!'' she fumed.


    "Mom, please take your time to enjoy your meal. I''m almost done with mine, so I''ll go and see Nicole

    out."


    After Lloyd had spoken, he went upto Nicole and said, "Let''s go."


    Nicole wanted to refuse but when she noticed that Lloyd


    was anxious to lead her out of the room, she decided to hold her displeasure in for his sake. After all,


    Lloyd had helped her, so she did not think much about it.


    "Alright, let''s get going," Nicole said indifferently.


    With that, Nachelle''s original dinner n to get the two of them to spend more time together resulted in


    them both leaving her alone.


    Everyone in the room was staring at her, causing Nachelle to yell, "Carry on eating!"


    Hearing that, everyone immediately lowered their heads and hurriedly ate their food up. No one dared


    to muster a sound after that.


    The atmosphere of the entire dinner party went downhill quickly. Nachelle was soon downing ss


    after ss of wine as she thought about the attitude Nicole had given her earlier.


    ''I had allowed my precious son to fall into her hands, and she dared to disrespect me! This woman is


    spoiled to the core. If she''s ever going to enter our family in the future, I will have to train her from the


    basics...''


    On the other hand, Nicole and Lloyd had already walked out of the restaurant, whereupon Nicole took a


    step back, keeping a distance from Lloyd, and said, "You don''t need to see me off. I can take a cab


    home."


    "How can I let you do that, letting a woman get on a taxi by herselfte at night?" Lloyd frowned.


    "Are you afraid that I''ll be in danger?'' Nicole snorted coldly." I think it should be the other way around."


    Lloyd immediately fell silent. "I know you''re very strong...but still I am worried about you. There are


    many eyes on you now, and your safety is definitely a priority."


    Nicole did not mention that Jared''s guards were always around watching and protecting her from afar.


    ''How can I refuse his offer?''


    As Nicole was thinking about how to decline Lloyd''s offer, a Rolls Royce rolled up at the driveway.


    Nicole immediately smiled as she recognized the car. However, Lloyd, who recognized the car too, was


    livid as he followed her gaze and noticed her smile that was all too familiar when she saw Jared.


    The car steadily halted in front of the two of them. Jared then got out of the car proudly, strutted up to


    Nicole and Lloyd with his long legs, and pulled Nicole to him by her waist, bringing her into a hug. It


    was as if he wanted to dere his dominance.


    "It''ste now. Why aren''t you going home?"


    Jared had concluded his meetings when Max informed him that Nicole was having dinner with the


    filming crew. He


    knew that it must have been one of Lloyd''s tricks, and thus, he had immediately driven to the restaurant


    himself.


    "The rest of the crew are having dinner. I was about to leave after I decided I was done with all of the


    courtesies," Nicole said in a low voice.


    Jared noticed that Lloyd was clenching his fists, and turning a blind eye to it, he proceeded to say, "Mr.


    Holder. My fiancee here already has a hard time showing up for filming right after school every day. I


    hope you won''t arrange anymore of these frivolous dinners for her in the future."


    ''It was in fact meaningless and frivolous, as Lloyd had arranged it to satiate his contempt and greed.''
