Chapter 2300
At that very moment, the couple's radiance illuminated the entire place, making it even more dazzling.
"Mr. and Mrs. Johnston!"
Some familiar people approached and started chatting with Jared.
Gradually, others also gathered around, surrounding Jared and Nicole in the middle.
After listening to their small talk, which was mostly about business matters, Nicole gestured to Jared and quietly excused herself from the crowd.
She let out a sigh of relief once she stepped out. She looked around the venue. However, she did not see anyone she knew, so she found a quiet spot and sat down.
The charity banquet was attended by celebrities from all walks of life in San Joto. But since it was still early, everyone was mingling freely. Nicole, on the other hand, did not feel like engaging in conversation with anyone and wanted to sit quietly by herself, waiting for Jared to join her later.
Suddenly, a shadow loomed over her. Nicole's eyebrows furrowed as she raised her head to see who it was.
"Leo!" she exclaimed in surprise. "You're here for the event too?"
"Yes, I received an invitation," Lawrence replied. He smiled as he sat beside Nicole.
Curious, she asked, "Alone?"
"Ian went to park the car," Lawrence replied nonchalantly.
For some reason, Nicole felt unsure why, but there seemed to be a bit of tension between them.
She suddenly recalled the account she saw on the Hunters last night. She hesitated and frowned in confusion but decided not to ask about it.
