Chapter 174 She Feels Burning Hot All Over
After Jayden finished his speech, Nichs fixed his deep, dark eyes on him. His gaze appeared calm,
like still water in an ancient well, but behind it, his emotions were turbulent. He stared at Jayden.
without uttering a word, his mind racing with countless thoughts. An argument? If only it were just an
argument, but it’s a divorce. “That’s superficial,” he finally replied after a long silence. “Do you think

Jayden sheepishly rubbed his nose and decided to keep quiet. Well, the women I pursued before were
indeed very easy. I didn’t need to give them anything; just a few dinners and some sweet talk would do
the trick. A few luxury bags for the easier ones, a sports car for the more difficult ones, and a house for
the most challenging ones. So, I’m not to me for this. From my perspective, women can be handled
with money. “Nichs, I think you’re oveplicating things. Look at the grand show you’ve put on.
You involved so many people and even had me go along with you just for a kiss, and yet she refused,”
he said. “In my opinion, you should take a page out of those billionaire romance novels. Just go over,
pick her up in your arms, carry her back. home, and then close the door. I guarantee everything will be
resolved overnight.”
“You don’t understand, replied Nichs. If we weren’t divorced, I might have acted that way, but now.

“You’re right.” Nichs pushed the door open and went out in search of Nancy.
Meanwhile, after leaving Nichs’ private room, Nancy headed straight back to the private room where
her colleagues were gathering for dinner. However, when she entered the room, it was empty. “Toni…”
she called out as she walked inside, but there was no response.
After a while, a waitress entered and informed Nancy that the bill for the private room had been.
settled. She politely asked Nancy to leave as they were about to clean the room.
Nancy had no choice but to leave. With nowhere to go, she squatted outside the private room and
called Toni.
It was only when she took out her phone that she realized Toni had called her multiple times.
Coincidentally, all the calls were made while she was in Nichs’ private room, and perhaps due to the
noise, she hadn’t managed to answer any of them.
She tried calling back, but there was no answer.
She made a few more attempts, but still no response. If she guessed correctly, Tom probably left on her

This particr drink, however, was different. It was a high-proof liquor; the moment it went down, she

She struggled to make her way to the hotel’s entrance with only one thought in her mind: to go This

could only lean against a pir in the hotel lobby, barely managing to support herself.
At that moment, Julian and his assistant happened to arrive in the hotel lobby, preparing to leave.
The sharp-eyed assistant spotted Nancy immediately. He promptly asked, “Mr. Jadin, thatdy seems.
to have had too much to drink. She’s the one Madam asked you to check on. Should we give her a ride
home?”
Julian had onlye here because his mother had instructed this assistant to apany him and
ensure that he came. “Since when did you be so kindhearted? If you want to help her, do it
yourself. Don’t involve me,” he replied coolly before walking away without even sparing a nce at
Nancy.
The assistant was left speechless.
Meanwhile, after taking a short break, Nancy continued walking outside. She was feeling incredibly
dizzy, causing her to stumble and stagger as she walked. Suddenly, she bumped into Julian.
Julian hadn’t expected her to appear in front of him so suddenly, so his tall figure collided with her right

“Sorry,” Nancy instinctively apologized, then continued moving forward. She was supposed to stop
upon reaching the hotel’s entrance, but she found that her feet were acting independently of her mind.
As a result, she ended up walking onto the road in front of the hotel.
Suddenly, a car approached, startling the assistant, who cried out, “Watch out!”
However, Nancy was entirely oblivious to it due to her dizziness. Just in the nick of time, Julian grabbed
her hand and forcefully pulled her towards himself.
Only then did the assistant breathe a sigh of relief.
“You’re not even watching where you’re going! Are you trying to get yourself killed?” Julian couldn’t
help but scold Nancy after pulling her back. After all, being a doctor, he couldn’t just stand by and
watch her get run over by a car. Seeing herpletely wasted and almost unconscious, he could only
look at her with disdain, especially when he caught a whiff of alcoholing from her.
His assistant carefully observed the look in his eyes, contemting whether or not to speak up
Just then Julian spoke up Pointing at Nancy, he instructed his assistant, “Get her in the car

Finally understanding what Julian meant, his assistant replied cheerfully, “Understood, Mr. Jadin! Don’t
worry, I’ll help her into the car immediately.”
Despite being drunk, Nancy was lightweight, so the assistant only needed to guide her a little and
sessfully got her into the car. He then turned to Julian and said, “Please get in, Mr. Jadin.”
Julian stood outside and was momentarily startled. Suddenly, he reached towards the front car door
and appeared to have taken something from the chauffeur.
The assistant was confused; the next moment, he saw Julian spraying disinfectant all over Nancy. Mr.
Jadin, this is excessive. If she wakes up and discovers this, it will be extremely embarrassing.
After finishing spraying the disinfectant, Julian tossed it to his assistant, who caught it and was about to
get in the car when the door suddenly closed. Julian’s icy voice came from inside the car, saying, “It’s
crowded in here. Take a cab back on your own.”
The assistant was left standing there,pletely bewildered. “Mr. Jadin, how could you be so
heartless?”
At that moment, Nichs came running frantically from the lobby. When he saw that the car had
already left-especially when he saw its license te number-his gaze instantly turned icy, as if it could
freeze everyone around him..
