Chapter 453

Wyatt just waited in the private room until Dora came in. But Nicole had not returned yet since she went

to the restroom.

“Wyatt, don’t wait for Nicole anymore. I went to the restroom and saw her leave. She seemed to be in a

bad mood,” Dora remarked and played the role of a loving mother, as if nothing had happened.

“Who says I’m waiting for her? I just haven’t finished eating yet,” Wyatt said.

He looked okay on the surface. But in his heart, he couldn’t help feeling disappointed.

Dora walked over to him and patted him on the shoulder. “When you were young, you played the field,

and I didn’t interfere. But now, you are not getting any younger. It’s time for you to find a suitable

woman and consider getting married for our family’s interests.”

“Mom, not every young man from a rich family has to take that path.” Wyatt couldn’t help getting

annoyed when he heard Dora’s words.

Dora frowned and commented disapprovingly, “Don’t be in a hurry to refute. Look at Maurice of the

Moran family. He is such an arrogant man. But isn’t he dating Harriet, the daughter of the Stone family,

because of his grandfather’s order?”

“Mom, what you are seeing is just superficial. You don’t know the specific situation at all. As far as I

know, it’s impossible for Maurice to marry her.”

Wyatt smiled bitterly and picked up the bottle of wine on the table. He poured it into his glass and drank

one glass after another. No matter how Dora persuaded him, he wouldn’t listen at all.

Dora didn’t expect that after five years, Nicole still had such a great influence on him.

And when she thought of what Nicole had said in the restroom just now, she felt even more depressed.

It seemed that she had to find a way to make that damn woman completely disappear from Wyatt’s

world.

After a whole day’s hard work, Eliana and Lucia finally finished their tasks and returned to the

company.

Lucia still hadn’t recovered from the shock when she witnessed the dispute between Dora and Nicole.

She indistinctly realized that the truth five years ago was probably not what she knew at all.

Eliana walked over to her, patted her on the shoulder, and reminded her, “Lucia, you must keep what

you heard today a secret, okay? After all, Nicole is a star. If the news spreads, it will have a negative

impact on her.”

Lucia felt that she had never been as sober as she was now. She couldn’t help but express her guess.

“Eliana, do you think Dora treated Nicole that way because she was the one who forced Nicole to break

up with Wyatt?”

Eliana was stunned for a while. “Well, it seems… Your words make sense.”

“It makes sense, right?” Lucia felt she had found the truth.

Eliana looked at Lucia, who was excited, feeling that something was wrong.

“Wait! Something is wrong. How did you know that Wyatt and Nicole used to be together?”

Eliana suddenly realized something. Lucia was just an ordinary employee. How did she know that

Nicole and Wyatt used to be in love with each other?

The expression on Lucia’s face instantly froze.

She unconsciously spilled the beans just now.

“Well… It’s just my guess. Isn’t it very common in TV dramas? The rich man’s evil mother always

forces his kind-hearted girlfriend to leave.”

“Really?”

Eliana was not convinced.

“Eliana, let’s stop talking about it, okay? Let’s talk about the bracelet now.” Lucia quickly changed the

topic.

Since Lucia mentioned their work, Eliana could only temporarily keep her suspicion to herself.

The two of them discussed for a while and finally decided to stay together to modify the design. The

bracelet for mass production needed some revisions before they started to produce.

They were still busy when Lilian came over again.

She dropped two personal packages on the desk and ordered arrogantly, “Lucia, send these two

packages for me.”

Lucia raised her head and agreed as usual, “Oh, okay…”

But when she was about to reach for the packages, Eliana stopped her.

“Why should you send these packages for her? You are hired as a designer of this company. You’re not

an errand girl who needs to serve other employees.”
