Chapter 2018
Apart from Nicole's brother, her past suitors and Lawrence were all depressed at the scene of Jared and her dancing.
After the song ended, cheers and applause erupted in the venue. Spotlights focused on Jared and Nicole. Jared hugged Nicole's waist with a perfect ending pose. Under the spotlight, they were enveloped in a halo of light, making them shine.
After finishing their dance, Jared and Nicole stood in position, nodded to the surrounding crowd, and left the dance floor.
"Nicole, I finally get to see you."
Just as they stepped off the dance floor, a crowd surrounded Nicole. Nicole's expression stiffened slightly upon their approach. Besides Preston and Ellar, who she had seen before in the Riddle family manor, Nicole had never seen the others. However, judging by their eager expressions, Nicole could feel they were sincerely happy to see her with no bad intentions. It was just that she did not remember any of them and did not know how to react.
Sensing Nicole's uneasiness, Jared held her hand tight and said solemnly to others, "Let's talk about this later. Nicole's tired. She needs some rest."
Preston was aware of Nicole's memory loss and naturally understood Jared's intentions. So he chimed in, "She just came back and is still adjusting. You'll have plenty of chances to meet her since she's back now."
"Alright then." The crowd was a little disappointed but showed understanding.
"Settle down. You're here not to only see Nicole. Go and tend to your own matters." Preston waved them off to leave.
"We're here to see Nicole. What other matters would we have?" They were all not interested in the family business and had their own pursuits.
