Chapter 93
Feeling aggrieved, Snow immediately lowered her head and whispered, “I just want to tell you that Nicole
bullied Raine in the caféteria yesterday. According to Raine, Gary seemed to be protective of Nicole
recently, as if Nicole had fascinated him. I think that is unbecoming of Nicole to do that.”
Raine increasingly hated Nicole and wished that Harvey would help her teach Nicole a lesson.
Harvey looked into Snow’s eyes and had figured out everything. “So you want me to step up and help
you and Raine teach Nicole a lesson.” His voice sounded nonchalant, making it impossible for people to
tell his emotions. Snow looked up at Harvey with anticipation. She knew Harvey understood what she
meant. In fact, she was confident that Harvey would agree to it. After all, he had never refused all her
requests last time.
But this time, Harvey said nothing, just looking faintly at Snow, who was standing there.
Feeling a little nervous, Snow quickly continued. “Nicole bullied me before. You should have seen that
photo on the school forum. She is ill-mannered and nasty in words and actions. She has even hit my
friend for no reason.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHarvey looked at her quietly, thinking of Nicole’s face. ‘Is she really the kind of person Snow has said she
is? But Snow doesn’t have to lie, and Nicole is indeed infamous on the forum.’
There was still silence as Harvey did not speak. Just as Snow panicked, fearing that he would reject her,
Harvey said, “Okay, I will help you.”
Snow breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Harvey with a sweet smile on her face. She knew Harvey
would agree.
Harvey also returned a smile but with a hint of austerity in his eyes. He might have agreed, but he would
first investigate what had actually happened. He did not want to be reckless. In high school, Nicole was
reading a book, waiting for class. Not long after, Lulu also returned and said excitedly to her, “Guess who
I just met, Nicole?”
Nicole heard her excitement and looked up. “Who?” Lulu furtively leaned close to Nicole’s ear and
whispered, “After the flag-raising ceremony, Mr. Ellison inspected the school with a man who looked
more handsome than Harvey, allegedly wanting to invest in the school. I heard Vivian say that the guy
was the boss of JJ Johnston Group. Seriously, he is rich, single, and available!” At first, Nicole thought
Lulu had some important things to tell her, not expecting to hear her spewing gossip. She had no words
for it.
But after a moment, she frowned as something came to mind. “What company did you just
say?”
Lulu did not know why Nicole asked, but she still repeated it honestly. “IJ Johnston Group.” Nicole was
spinning the pen in between her fingers, deep in thought.
Lulu saw Nicole’s reaction and asked, “What is wrong, Nicole? You know the owner of JJ Johnston
Group?”
Nicole shook her head. Jared was the only Johnston she knew. But Jared was the heir to the Johnston
Group, so she did not know the CEO of JJ Johnston Group. The reason she found JJ Johnston Group
familiar was because of a previous job.
But when she was partnering with Specter on that job, he screwed up and got the database of the JJ
Johnston Group implicated. She had tried her best to make up for it. But it was said that JJ Johnston
Group’s software was on its first day on the market, and it was supposed to be a hit. But a major bug
cost them at least $100 million in losses.
Nicole had always felt a little guilty about that because that was the only mistake she had made when
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmworking with someone else. Ever since then, she had also been implicated and could not accept jobs as
frequently as before. Clients were shunning her, probably for fear of earning the wrath of JJ Johnston
Group and affecting their business cooperation.
“Where is the CEO of JJ Johnston Group now?” Lulu overheard Ellison say that he was seeing the guy
out before she came. “He is leaving now. Ellison sees him out.”
Nicole nodded in acknowledgment. She then grabbed her bag and headed out of the room. Something
came to mind all of a sudden, and she looked back at Lulu with a serious face.” Don’t tell anyone about
my relationship with the Riddle family just yet.” Lulu nodded and replied, “Got it.” Nicole nodded and then
dashed toward the school gate. She moved fast and arrived at the gate in no time, just in time to see a
black vehicle, the brand of which no one recognized, slowly drive out of the school. Nicole frowned as
she saw the side profile of the somewhat familiar face in the rolled-down window. The man had no
expression on his face, unlike his usual look. He was cold and serious, even intimidating.
‘Could it be that Jared is not only the heir of Johnson Group but also the CEO of JJ Johnston Group?
Damn it! How did I not think of that earlier? If so, then this fiancé of mine is also my biggest’ creditor.’
Just how naive I was to drink drinking coffee with him all day long like nothing had happened. So Jared
must be the person who put a bounty on me on The Hunters dark web! I’ll be done for if I am busted.’
