My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 228

"What are you doing here? Are you looking for me?" Lyana asked.

Jared ignored Lyana and walked past her to accompany Nicole, quietly waiting for the elevator.

Nicole did not have time for Lyana. She glanced at Jared gravely, as she still remembered he had explained to her about Lyana.

Lyana looked with jealousy in her eyes at the two standing together. She recognized Nicole as the girl who had taken Jared away from the birthday party the other day. Jared ignored her every time she saw him. What makes this girl so special that she can find favor with Jared?' she asked in her mind.

Lyana was proud of her body and appearance, but she lost that sense of superiority with Nicole's presence. So she looked bitterly at Nicole's beautiful face.

The bodyguard whom Nicole shoved aside earlier came up with a sneer when he saw two random people standing in front of Lyana. "Do you know who we are? How dare you shove our lady out of the way!" He did not know that Lyana had given up her spot in front of the elevator to get close to Jared.

Neither Jared nor Nicole spared the bodyguard a glance. Meanwhile, Claus had parked the car and came. He raised an eyebrow and looked at the jealous-

looking Lyana with a frosty look.

"Look after your dog, Lyana. Don't let it bark indiscriminately."

Lyana looked back and shuddered when she saw Claus. The Junkerman family was notorious in San Joto. They were as ferocious as jackals and would bite once they found a target.

The Junkerman family was not a member of the high society, but it specialized in training and delivering fresh blood to the wealthy family. Each of their generations produced the most cold-blooded and ruthless killer who would be assigned to stay beside the junior member, whom they considered had the most potential, of a wealthy family. And in this generation, Claus was that person.

This was no secret in San Joto's high society, so Lyana looked at Claus with a hint of fear in her eyes.

Thinking that Claus was just a good-looking pretty boy, the bodyguard was infuriated when he heard Claus insult him. "Miss Rogers, this pretty boy is so rude to you. I'll teach him a lesson for you." With that, he rolled up his sleeves and lunged out at Claus.

Claus was nonchalant. As the elevator almost arrived, he did not want to waste time with the bodyguard. He stepped out and punched the bodyguard in the abdomen, sending him to the floor.

The bodyguard still wanted to say something, but surprise filled his eyes, and his face contorted as he groaned in pain.

Lyana looked on with fear in her eyes. She quickly rushed up to that bodyguard and slapped him in the face before Claus hit him again. "Are you blind? How dare you behave so rudely toward Mr. Johnston and Mr. Junkerman!"

She knew that the bodyguard's disrespect for Jared caused this scuffle. If she wanted to patch things up, she would have to show her determination to Jared first. After making herself clear, Lyana looked at Jared and Claus with a smile. "I'm sorry, Jared. My men are too ruthless and have caused you trouble."
