Chapter 1558
While Nicole had thought about it, Zeke had not thought about this at all. She only took him out just to save him
from a world of pain.
"Okay, cut the sweet talk.” Nicole scoffed when she saw Zeke's pathetic expression. 'This kid should grow up a little.'
"Roger that!" Zeke nodded as he watched her get into her car. "Honestly though, just hit me up if you need me."
"Sure." Nicole got into her Lamborghini and drove off.
He was still extremely touched as he watched Nicole leave. Nicole is just too kind.'
Even if he went home now, his father and grandfather would not make things hard for him. They must be thinking
that he had gone out to do Nicole a huge favor. They couldn't even help him aid Nicole, so they had reason to
reprimand him any longer.

Indeed, Nicole had been his lucky star.
Meanwhile, Nicole had reached the highway in an instant.
At that moment, her phone rang. Noticing that Jared had called, she began to think about the incident that had
happened in the morning as her cheeks grew hot.
'Why is this guy calling me right now?'
After she hesitated for a moment, she answered his call. "Yes?"
Jared's voice was heard. "Were you eating lunch with Zeke?"
Nicole frowned as she thought, 'How does this guy even know that I ate lunch with Zeke?'
"You sent someone to spy on me," Nicole asked, upset.
"Not to spy on you, but to protect you. This is a critical time, so everyone in the Riddle family must be protected,
and that includes you," Jared replied, not thinking that he was invading Nicole's privacy at all.
"What a nice excuse." Nicole rolled her eyes.
Jared acted like he had been wronged. "Seems like no one is going to have lunch with me today. My girlfriend went
out to have a meal with another guy."
Feeling resigned, she replied, "You're on your own, and do yourself a favor. Stop seeing green."
Indeed, Jared had been becoming more jealous these days.
"A kid like him doesn't bother me," Jared lied.
Nicole proceeded to tease him, "Is that so? Then why did you call me?"
Annoyed, Jared replied, "I just wanted to tell you not to have lunch with anybody but me. You do know that a lot of
men have their eyes on you, ever since your identity has been made public, right?"
That was Jared's truth. He used to be full of confidence. Lately however, he had begun to feel insecure, and even

"Tsk... do you feel threatened now, Mr. Johnston?” Nicole teased, surmising that such was why Jared was really
clingy last night.
"No, there are plenty of women who are after me," he retorted. "You should be the one who feeling threatened."
Nicole played along and said, "Yes, you do have way more admirers than me, Mr. Johnston."
Suddenly, Nicole began to perceive a very strange feeling in her gut as she heard a piercing ring in her ears.
A car had sped against the traffic and driven up the highway. There were two cars in front of her, which had
managed to evade the incoming vehicle. Now, all Nicole could see was a black sedan speeding toward her with no
license plates attached.
"Damn it!" Nicole yelled and turned her steering wheel abruptly.
She barely managed to dodge the black car, but it was then that she slammed into the divider with such force that
the barrier the particular section of the barrier was destroyed, with the front of her car jutting out, hanging off the
highway.
The airbag popped out and buffered the impact, which was the only reason Nicole was spared from having her
head dashed against the wheel.
