Chapter 779
What was even more surprising was that Nicole was not nervous or feel honored at all when Sebastian greeted her.
She just nodded her head and said unhurriedly, “Yeah, my class finished early today, so I came early.”
Sebastian smiled and glanced at Nicole. “You dress like a girl today, and you dress up like this more often in the
future.”
It surprised everyone that the prudish Sebastian would coddle Nicole. People started to discuss whether Nicole was
a relative of Sebastian. But no one had ever heard that the Riddle family and the Wyance family were related.
Jealousy filled someone’s eyes in the dark while people kept speculating about their relationship.
Joyce, who had been hoping that Martin could put in a good word for her in front of Sebastian, was eating her heart

McCarthy family lost.
She became apprehensive, unsure if she could achieve her goal these days. It did not help that Martin was ignoring
her and having all his attention on Nicole.
Meanwhile, Snow and Raine were extremely jealous, as they had no chance to talk to Sebastian. All they could do
was watch Nicole, Sebastian, Mr. Johnston Sr., and other VIPs rub shoulders with each other.
After Sebastian had some pleasantries with Mr. Riddle Sr. and Mr. Johnston Sr., they came to join the other guests.
People flocked toward them, trying to make up to them. As this was happening, Nicole took the opportunity to walk
away.
Jared felt more relaxed now. He immediately came up to Nicole. “Tired, eh?” He knew Nicole disliked this kind of
socializing.
“It’s alright.” Nicole sighed.
Jared chuckled. “Get used to it. This is going to be inevitable when you become my wife.”
Nicole blushed upon hearing that. “There are so many people here. Stop talking about things like that.”
“I’m serious.” He lowered his voice and leaned closer to her ear. His breath blew into her ear, causing her to
tremble suddenly. She immediately shot a look at him.
“Get lost. This is not funny.” She felt Jared had become glibber and glibber recently.
Jared chuckled at seeing her blush, finding himself more and more liking to tease her. He took her hand and said,
“Okay, let me hold your hand, and I will listen to you.”
Nicole had no choice but to let him be.
The two were in the corner, unaware that Harvey had been staring at them. He really wanted to separate Jared and
Nicole, but he could not because he had nothing to compete with Jared yet. If he wanted to get Nicole back, he had

to become strong enough to fight Jared. So before that, he had to grin and bear it.
“Harvey, what’s wrong with you? Why are you looking so grave?” Edwin saw his face and asked in a low voice.
Harvey shot an icy glance at him. “It’s none of your business.”
He was in no mood to stay any longer and could not care less about why he came. He just wanted to get out of
here right now, not wanting to see Nicole and Jared act lovey-dovey. Gritting his teeth, he turned and left.
“Hey, Harvey. Where are you going?” Edwin was stupefied and subconsciously wanted to stop him. But Harvey had
walked away without looking back.
“What a weird guy.” Edwin muttered helplessly, but there was nothing he could do but to let him be.
