Chapter 828
Nicole sat on the couch and relaxed as she leaned back. She no longer maintained the ladylike posture from
before.
When she had to greet Siobhan and Rita earlier, she had to maintain a proper and ladylike posture with her back
straight, which was tiring.
Now that everyone else was busy socializing, she could finally sit in a corner by herself. Besides, Zachary knew her
personality well, so she did not have to put on an act in front of him. As such, she relaxed and slouched on the
couch.
He looked at her slumping in a heap and could not help voicing out, "Don't you have an image to maintain?"
She put her hands behind her back and stretched her body before replying, "That's not necessary. Anyway, there
isn't anyone in this corner. You know me like the back of your hand, so I don't need to act in front of you."

was still some bare skin revealed despite the conservative design. "That's enough. We're in public. You should watch
your behavior."
She no longer moved after he tugged her arms. She had eaten some dainty cakes and cold cuts earlier, so she felt
stuffed. Not feeling to leave just yet, she directed her thoughts to the man.
Nicole had only turned to stare at Zachary when he instantly caught on to her intention.
After all, their close interaction over the years resulted in them developing a mutual understanding that required no
words. It could even be called telepathy.
He revealed a resigned smile and spoke hoarsely, "What would you like to have? I'll get it for you."
As soon as she saw his initiative, her smile instantly deepened. She beamed widely as her eyes shone. After some
consideration, she said, "I want some chocolate-flavored cupcakes, cold cuts, and a drink. That's all for the time
being. If you see anything that looks yummy, get them so that you don't need to come back and forth."
"Sure." Zachary nodded and headed over to the center.
After he left, Nicole sat up and yawned. Since she decided to leave her phone in the car because of her evening
gown, she had nothing to do as she sat alone. She had just shut her eyes and gotten some rest when a revolting
voice suddenly rang in her ears. "Sis, this is such a coincidence. I didn't expect to bump into you here."
Nicole kept her eyes shut and frowned slightly. This familiar and annoying voice can only be Queenie's.
She initially assumed that Queenie must have escaped after William encountered trouble. As such, she was
surprised that this troublemaker was still in the country.
She opened her clear eyes gradually before they landed on Queenie. With a tinge of coldness in her gaze, she
uttered, "Watch your words. I don't have a sis like you."

However, Queenie was unfussed as she turned to the man by her side. "President Kohlberg, I have something to

Bryan chuckled before patting her on the back of her hand. "Sure. I'll head over there to mingle with the crowd.
Come over once you're done."
"Okay," she replied softly.
Subsequently, he turned around and left.
At that moment, Nicole shot a perplexed look at the two. If I'm not mistaken, Bryan Kohlberg is a married man. How
could he candidly bring her to a gathering like this? Isn't this just blatantly stating that she is his mistress?
"Sis, we haven't met for quite some time. I heard plenty of stories about you." Queenie naturally took a seat by
Nicole's side.
In response, Nicole nudged away as she did not want to be anywhere near her.
Still, Queenie was unperturbed and smiled as she continued, "I heard that you saved Siobhan Gould's life. You're
such a persistent woman, aren't you? Now that you're off the Gardners' radar, you immediately switched and found
another target, huh? Have you set your sights on Gabriel Wrenn this time?"
