My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 138

Upon seeing a Riddle, there was a tinge of color in Jared's eyes, but he still did not show much enthusiasm.

After all, he had heard from Nicole that her uncles had quite a turbulent relationship with her family.

Damien had been in this circle for so long now and knew very well what the latter's indifference meant. Since Jared had already received his name card, he had no need to keep bothering him.

Although the Riddle family was an established family in Northon, as time passed, it seemed like it was very difficult for them to get into such top societal circles and gatherings. They could not afford to coil around Jared so shamelessly anymore.

But Miley was a little anxious. When she found out that Jared was engaged to Nicole, she was extremely shocked.

Now that she had seen Jared, with his money and status, even the Rogers family had to pay respect to him. If my daughter can supplant Nicole's place and marry Jared. Who will dare to look down on me ever again?'

It was a pity that her daughter was still busy with her drafts. She had no idea whether the latter had the time or not. But after some thought, she still secretly

sent a message to Chloe, hoping that she could come.

At this moment, standing by Jared's side, Lyana looked like she was accompanying her grandfather, but only Jared was in her eyes.

Mr. Rogers Sr. smiled as he looked at his most beloved granddaughter as he said gently, "Lyana, this is Harvey Ellison, the young master of the Ellison family. He is also the heir appointed by Ole' Ellison. As for this man."

He turned around and looked at Jared, "I suppose you already know him, am I right?"

A look of slight embarrassment appeared on Lyana's face as more emotions appeared in her eyes as she went, "Grandpa, what are you talking about?"

When the people at the table saw this scene, they all tacitly laughed.

It was said that the young lady of the Rogers family returned to Hustuaburg for this young man of the Johnston family. It seemed like the rumors were true.

Everyone was speculating hard, yet Jared's still had an impassive look on his face. It was as if Lyana did not exist in his eyes as he looked at his watch with some disinterest.

There was no one here that piqued his interest. Boring.

Harvey noticed Jared's rather impatient look. The smile in Harvey's eyes deepened. "Mr. Johnston, since Ms. Rogers is already here, shouldn't you accompany her for a while? Even if you have something on, it shouldn't be that much of a hurry."

'No matter how close Jared and Nicole were, their backgrounds were totally different, and Lyana was the best choice for him...'

'And if he gets together with Lyana, then Nicole is as good as mine!' He thought.

Harvey's words made everyone look at Jared, and the eyes of many men were full of envy.

One needed to know that if a person obtained the favor of the young lady of the Rogers family, then that meant that the person got the backing of the entire Rogers family. This Mr. Johnston sure was blessed.

Murphy, who originally wanted to slip away, too looked at Jared. The look of reluctance and disgust in his eyes was almost overwhelming.

He had liked Lyana for a long time now, but she had never even deigned to look at him since she was a child!

When he looked at Jared, who was totally nonchalant about it, a surge of hatred rose in his heart.

'Why did Grandpa like this mongrel more than me? Why does my goddess like him more than me!' He seethed.
