He would only put away his arrogance when Jamie was around.
He became the thoughtful Jarrod that Nicole remembered.
Suddenly, the pungent smell of alcohol filled the air.
Then, there was a loud splash.
Before Nicole could react, red wine splattered onto her white coat.
After this, a voice with a strong smell of alcohol sounded.
âQops!
Iâm sorry, sweetie.
My bad! My hand is slippery.
I didnât mean to spill wine all over you.

Nicole looked up and saw Howe Powell, Jamieâs elder brother.
She remembered him because she saw him in a video she had watched before.
Before Nicole could say anything, Howe remarked, âLet me dry those wine for you.
â
As he spoke, he extended his hands to Nicole.
But he splashed his wine on Nicoleâs chest.
His lewd expression made it look like he wanted to take advantage of the situation to touch her.
Nicole stepped back coolly and said politely, âItâs okay.
â
She had heard about Howe before.
He was infamous in Ardlens for being a womanizer.
Moreover, his s@xual preferences were particularly abnormal.
Rumors had it that he had played with some women to death in bed.
The Powell family had spent a significant amount of money to settle the matter.
Nicole once suspected that Jarrod might have learned some tactics from Howe.
But when she accidentally saw Howeâs video that circulated through the Internet, she realized Howeâs tactics were much worse than Jarrodâs.
At most, when Jarrod was excited, he enjoyed seeing others beg for mercy.
Howe, on the other hand, liked harming women.
He used all sorts of twisted objects to stab them.

Seeing Howeâs face now made Nicole feel so disgusted that she wanted to vomit.
But she knew she couldnât offend him, so she just took two steps back and lowered her gaze, trying not to provoke him.
However, Howe was not done yet.
The reason he came to Jamieâs birthday party was to find a woman he could have a good time with.
How could he let go of a beauty like Nicole?
Just looking at Nicoleâs amazing figure made his mouth water.
Besides, Nicole was not a fake socialite.
She was a true heiress of a wealthy family.
Her entire being exuded nobility and elegance.
So, Howe was very determined to sleep with her.
