My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 1803

Sensing that Nicole was a little dejected at that moment, Jared took a deep breath.

"Perhaps. I don't know what this feeling is. I just feel... very disappointed... in him," she said.

She had already made her rejection clear to Lloyd, thinking that he would care about her feelings, and not have any more delusions about her. Yet, what he had done earlier had thoroughly disappointed her.

To think that Lloyd would do something like that to her was just painful.

Back then, Lloyd was the one who understood her best, as he was her partner since a very young age before Carl even joined. Back then, Lloyd would take note of her feelings, and would never do anything that would make her uncomfortable. But now he had changed...

Jared hugged her even harder. "Your disappointment means you have too high a hope for this person. I won't allow you to care about another man."

Nicole raised her head in helplessness. "I care about him, but not because of love. In fact, it's not... not even because of friendship."

Her relationship with Lloyd could perhaps only be described as comrade-in-arms who had been through life and death situations together.

"However, it doesn't matter any longer. I will not get anywhere close to him anymore," she said, for the Lloyd now was no longer the Lloyd she knew.

This Lloyd was both familiar yet foreign to her.

"Still, I'm afraid that Lloyd will not be providing me any further information," she said, though there was not a trace of concern in her voice as she knew she still had Jared.

"Don't worry. The person we've released is almost back there. We'll find that group soon enough," Jared assured.

Nicole nodded, and in a tired tone of voice, she said, "Alright. Anyway, I don't plan to show up on set ever again. As for the other stuff, do as you see fit."

Jared had invested in the show because of her, and if she wanted to leave, he could solve that issue in whichever way he wanted.

"Alright. The Holder family may not have enough cash flowing in, so they will definitely not choose to pay the compensation in fivefold. They'll definitely allow you to leave," Jared stated.

Hearing this, Nicole felt much more reassured. "Thankfully, you've seen this coming."

Jared had always been one to strategize and plan ahead.

"I knew that the two were scheming." Jared's eyes darkened.
