Chapter 2276

It was not up to a secretary to talk about Nicole and Jared’s affairs.

“You don’t deserve to be with Jared!” Iris shouted furiously.

“I don’t deserve to be with him?” Nicole snorted. Then, she calmly turned to Jared and said, “It’s a pity that we’re getting married soon.”

“No! That can’t happen! It’s impossible!” Iris instantly broke down and shook her head like a madwoman. She refused to believe it.

Nicole narrowed her eyes and spoke in a cold voice. “These are none of your business. No matter what the reason is, they’re not valid reasons for you to harm the company.

Especially if it’s because of your one-sided feelings.”

Jared did not wrong Iris. And yet, Iris took advantage of his kindness and wanted to ruin Johnston Group completely. That was simply unforgivable!

Nicole’s words caused Iris to tremble even more. Iris even looked at Jared instinctively.

However, she did not expect Jared to ignore her totally. She did not even give Iris one glance.

Iris gritted her teeth, and her heart was filled with hatred. She was on her last straw.

“What do you mean it’s none of my business?” Iris glared at Nicole bitterly. Then, she clenched her teeth and said, “If you didn’t appear, I’d still be in the company. I could stay at Jared’s side forever. No one else could go near Jared, except me.”

All this time, Iris thought of herself as a special person. But her fantasy was destroyed once Nicole appeared. Iris did not understand what was great about Nicole. Not to mention, Nicole already had two kids!

“If you manage to stay in the company, you’ll be a secretary forever and nothing more.” Nicole immediately got straight to the point. She knew that there would never be another possibility.

If Jared were human, he would not remain single during those five years when Nicole was missing.

Therefore, Nicole was sure that Iris would never have a chance.

“That’s not true. If you had stayed missing, I’d be able to get together with Jared!” Iris yelled. “It’s all because of you!

What spell did you cast on him? You have two kids and Jared is still obsessed with you!”

Nicole glanced at Iris coldly and teased, “I guess I must’ve been away for too long. There’s actually someone in San Joto who doesn’t know about me.”

Previously, Nicole had always found it strange that Iris was so hostile to her. But now, everything was clear.

“Let me introduce myself,” Nicole said calmly. “I’m Nicole Riddle, the Chairperson of the Riddle Corporation. I’m also Jared Johnston’s wife. Five years ago, we got registered in Panem, but there was no wedding ceremony. As for those two kids you mentioned…”

Nicole paused for a moment before she continued speaking, sounding casual, “They’re our kids.”

It was as if thunder had struck. Iris widened her eyes in disbelief. “What did you say?”

“Th-That’s impossible! You’ve to be lying! That’s impossible!” Iris shook her head with all her might. She could not believe it.

“The reason why I told you all this is for you to come to your senses. Your one-sided love is a huge joke. It also shows how pathetic you are.”

The love that Iris spoke about, did she really think that love equaled to ruin?

“Let’s go.” Jared held Nicole’s hand and spoke in a rare gentle voice.

Nicole turned to him and smiled. “Alright.”

The reason she wanted to come over was just to see how crazy Iris was. But from the looks of it, it seemed like she was just an evil person.

Seeing that Nicole and Jared were leaving, Iris began to panic. She took two steps forward and was ready to chase after Jared, but she was stopped by Max.

“Jared, please let me explain. I didn’t know about this!” Iris was wriggling as she yelled. She wanted to explain and protect herself.

However, there was no chance for her to do so. Jared held Nicole’s hand and left.

“Sir, I’m really sorry. Please give me one more chance!” Hearing Iris’s bitter cry, Max frowned unhappily, “Stop crying. You should’ve thought about this day when you decided to work with Lawrence.”
