Chapter 656
‘This entire mess is because of Simon’s greed, and now he is the one feeling wronged?’
Simon looked at her. Her words were piercing, and he could not refute what she said. ‘I’ve divulged so much because of her question; she could at least show me some gratitude!’ ‘Why must they back me into a corner?’
Simon got up; his eyes reddened as he wanted to say something to Nicole. At that time, he wanted to stretch across the table to grab Nicole’s clothes, yet the moment he was about to touch her, he suddenly sensed a sharp chill that was so terrifying it was as if he had taken another step forward. He would be losing his hand.
Simon looked up and saw Jared by Nicole’s side. He was leaning lazily against the chair, playing with a dagger in his hand. It was that same dagger that decapitated the monster earlier!
Cold sweat started to form all over his head. The man beside Nicole had always given him a harmless feeling that he, for a moment, forgot how brutal his blows were and how inhumanly strong he was.
Simon immediately froze as he looked at Jared and started shivering uncontrollably, not even daring to withdraw his hand.
Janus looked at Simon and sensed the chilly vibe coming from Jared. He immediately stood beside Nicole to support her.
He then coldly said, “What were you thinking of doing there?”
Elijah, seemingly recalling something, turned to Eber and frowned. “Things are still not yet settled. Go and drag Simon back. Otherwise, we’ll be on the back foot again if we were to have another confrontation.”
Eber nodded and made a phone call to gather his men. He then gave his watch a glance before leaving with his men in tow with a serious look on his face. Elijah looked at the blueprint before him and let out a soft sigh before turning to the servant behind him and saying, “Go and look for Carl.” ‘Ever since that boy found out about Nicole and Jared’s relationship, he seemed very reluctant to show up at home. God knows where he has gone to.’
Yet, Carl’s voice rang out behind him, sounding somewhat flaccid. “Dad, you’re looking for
me?”
