Chapter 730

She would not be nice to him if he still behaved like this next time.

Harvey looked on helplessly as Nicole left. ‘This is how it is. When one is judged to be a liar, no one is going to believe him, even if he tells the truth. But as time goes by, Nicole will know that I’m genuine.’

He pulled back his gaze and left.

Gary stepped out of the shadows and stared at Harvey with grave eyes as Harvey left.

‘Then there was Jared; now here comes Harvey. Nicole, oh Nicole, why do guys keep circling around you like bees to honey?’ But he could not help that he had also fallen for her.

Nicole bought two cups of ice coke and went backstage.

Seeing Nicole return, Lulu waved at her enthusiastically.

“You’re back!”

Nicole walked over expressionlessly and looked around curiously. “Where are the others?” There were still many people backstage when she left, but now most of them were gone.

Lulu casually replied, “The show is about to start. They’ve gone to the front.”

Then she looked at Nicole with a cheeky smile. “I’m the only one waiting for you here. How nice.”

Nicole handed her another coke in her hand.

“Here you go.”

Lulu was pleased. It was a wise choice to stay and wait for her,’ she thought to herself.

Nicole did not know what Lulu was thinking. She took a sip of the coke and pursed her lips. “Are you going to the front to watch the show?”

“Okay, but you…” Lulu was in a dilemma. She knew Nicole disliked crowds and noises, but she did not want to leave her friend behind.

Looking at Lulu’s dilemmatic expression, Nicole pondered for a moment. “If you like, I’ll go with you.”

“Really?” Lulu almost jumped for joy.

Nicole smiled. “Let’s go together.”

Lulu nodded vigorously and then left backstage with Nicole to see the opening show. They found where Bradley, June, and others were sitting and sat down with them.

Seeing Nicole come, they all looked a little surprised.

“I didn’t expect that you would come, Nicole,” Bradley said.

Hearing what Bradley said, Jack and Wayne looked up in surprise at seeing Nicole. ‘Doesn’t she dislike crowds and noises? Yet she is here.’

Nicole saw the surprised expression on everyone’s faces. She swept her eyes onto the stage and saw Preston play the host. She then said slowly, “The host is my brother. I came to have a look.”

Only did everyone understand. “No wonder.”

Nicole looked back up at the stage. Preston had already started his opening speech. Today, he was dressed in a suit, which was unusual for him. He was handsome and tall, and his eyes looked bright.

Nicole gazed at his attire with a thoughtful look in her eyes. She did not expect him to look handsome when dressed up.

Lulu looked at Preston with a smile and said in a very kind voice, “Nicole, is Preston also your brother?”

Lulu had only met Samuel, Spencer, and Stanley at school but did not know who her other two elder brothers were “He’s my cousin, actually,” Nicole said, expressionless, Lulu nodded in acknowledgment and then looked at Preston with admiration Nicole’s brothers were all extraordinary.

Preston had finished his opening remarks. He sorted his suit gracefully and proceeded to introduce today’s guests.

“The Royal Creek Institute has invited Lloyd, an alumnus who graduated three years ago, to today’s centennial celebration.”
