Chapter 101
Nicole plopped down on the desk, her fair, delicate legs dangling unabashedly right in front of Killian.
She leaned forward, moving close to Killian, constantly flaunting her youthful, charming figure.
Killian turned his face away, uninterested in looking.
Nicole asked curiously, “Killian, why did Madam Sullivan invite you to her birthday party?”
Killian immediately straightened up, trying to take the invitation from her hand, but Nicole swiftly pulled it back, deliberately teasing him.
“Don’t mess around.”
“You old fossil!”
Nicole persisted relentlessly.
Killian stood up, one hand gripping her shoulder while the other reached behind her to take the invitation.

Nicole also straightened up in response.
Killian felt two soft sensations pressing against his waist and abdomen, and his Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.
Even the most stoic man couldn’t withstand such
temptation from a young girl.
Nicole casually wrapped her arms around his waist.
“Killian!” Her tone was particularly aggrieved. “You haven’t spent proper time with me in so long.”
Killian shook his head, stepping back, his calm face showing no expression.
He commanded coolly, “Sit properly,” then focused on reading the invitation.
Nicole sat there, biting her lip, feeling utterly dejected.
When he was hospitalized after his divorce, it was she who took care of him day and night.
He had promised to reward her properly, but after waiting so long, she had gotten nothing. Instead, he spent

less and less time with her and grew increasingly distant.
Nicole couldn’t understand what had gone wrong.
He’s already divorced that old woman. Shouldn’t the next step be happily making me his wife?
The biggest obstacle between us is gone, so why is he pulling further away?
Killian didn’t notice Nicole’s emotional change at all.
Looking at the invitation, he had already made up his mind.
Tomorrow evening was Serena’s 60th birthday party, and Fiona had specially sent him an invitation.
This was good news for him.
On one hand, it meant Fiona was interested in him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have invited him to meet her
parents.
On the other hand, attending Serena’s party would allow him to confirm something he wanted to know.

Serena was the younger sister of Kristen, the lady of the Hayes family.
It was Serena’s birthday, and he wondered if Evander, as her nephew, would attend.
“Killian, I want to go to the party too.”
“No.”
Killian’s tone was decisive and non-negotiable.
Nicole pouted, “Fine, I won’t go then.”
She knew Killian had just gone on a date with Fiona the day before. She snorted twice and left the office.
When she returned to her workstation, Nicole sent a
message to Austin.
[Whispering to you, you might be getting a younger brother soon.]
Austin called directly.

Nicole went to the restroom before leisurely answering the call.
Austin’s somewhat anxious voice came through the phone. “Nicole, what do you mean?”
“Silly boy, how are you the only one in the dark? Your grandmother and your uncle both know your dad’s new girlfriend has two sons. You’ll effortlessly gain two younger brothers. I’m the only one who’d tell you these things.
Pretending to be righteous, Nicole stirred up Austin’s temper with just a few words.
She had overheard Gregory and Stephanie discussing this over the phone.
She told Austin everything she knew-about Fiona’s identity, the invitation, and all the details.
Austin’s desire to claim the family assets reached its peak.
Olivia was his biological sister, and he thought it was fair to give her a few crumbs.

But if some outsider’s brats tried to compete with him for the family fortune, he would never allow it.
I am Dad’s only son. No one can take what’s mine!
“Nicole, thank you. You’re the best!”
Austin quickly hung up the phone.
Nicole was all smiles.
Austin, go ahead and stir things up!
