My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1635

As soon as the words had left his mouth, Jared quickly wrapped his arms around Nicole and left the banquet proudly and gracefully.

Harvey then attempted to get up but was sent back squatting in pain. 'Damn him and his kick. I might have broken a few ribs!'

"Jared Johnston! You just wait!!" he roared. 'This one kick, I will return it tenfold and more!'

After exiting the hall of the banquet, Nicole began to feel a gust of cold wind. Naturally, Jared took his coat and draped it over her shoulders, and that sudden surge of warmth made Nicole feel much better.

After that, she looked up at Jared's stern face and said, "I'm sorry about earlier."

'I've caused Jared to openly attack Harvey. They might come head-to-head in the future,' she thought.

"Don't be sorry. Even without you in the picture, he and I would still be enemies. It's just the matter of time," Jared replied, as he had foreseen this.

"Huh? Why?" Nicole narrowed her eyes. "Aren't you still working with Mr. Ellison?"

Jared raised his eyebrows. "Yes, I have worked with Mr. Ellison but not Harvey. Ever since Mr. Ellison had handed things over to Harvey, everything has been brought to a halt."

Seeing that Jared had come prepared, her eyes darkened a little. "What did he ever do to cross you?"

'He must've done something. Otherwise, Jared would not have been so triggered about him.'

Jared flashed her a sheepish smile. "He has always been the sort of person who is too dangerous to be around. He kept himself restrained a little while ago whenever he is around you and now, I'm afraid that it has backfired."

Jared was well aware of Harvey's acts of kindness, and though the latter had done much to contribute to Nicole's well-being, his actions were nothing but a facade created to mask his true self.
