Chapter 148
Nicole did not like too much attention to herself, but somehow, she always got it.
Lulu took the box, hesitating whether to return it. But when she saw Nicole’s calm face, she calmly
shoved the things into Nicole’s arms. “Here you go. It is from him.”
Nicole did not even look at it, and she shoved it back into Lulu’s school bag. “Since he gave it to you, it is
yours, then.”
There was no more grudge between them since she had accepted the thing. That was why she did not
drive Cain away when he handed the thing over. Nicole gently patted Lulu on the head and said, “Let’s
get something to eat.”
The school gate was near the café. Just when passing by the café, Nicole casually glimpsed inside, not

was a beautiful woman with red lips and wavy hair. The two seemed to be chatting about something, and
then the woman stood up, seemingly agitated, and wanted to walk over to Jared.
Nicole stopped looking at this point and continued to walk forward as she was not interested in peeking
into the private affair of others.
Lulu, walking next to Nicole, shivered all of a sudden. She then looked up at the sky in puzzlement. It
was early fall, and the weather was not too cold. Yet Lulu was shivering as if in the winter, the air
temperature continuing to plummet.
“The weather is becoming unpredictable. I have to wear an extra layer of coat when I get home. By the
way, do you feel cold, Nicole?”
Nicole slowed down and looked up at the sky, then said with a straight face, “Not at all.”
Lulu looked at her in bafflement. She keenly sensed that something was wrong with Nicole’s mood but
could not tell why because nothing special had happened just now. 1
With this understanding in mind, Lulu said, “Don’t worry. The monthly exam is still over a week away, and
I believe you will perform well.”
Nicole did not refute what Lulu said but continued to listen. Only that she kept her head low to conceal
the look in her eyes. She wondered what that feeling was. It upset her so much.
Harvey made a phone call when he reached the school gate.
“I’ve arrived. Where are you?”
soon, a man got out of a red Lamborghini parked outside the school gate, waving at Harvey with a
somewhat gloomy expression on his face. The man was Shawn, who had been by Mr

“Christopher has stopped so low lately that my father would soon find out. Harvey, what do you say we
should do next?” Shawn asked anxiously in the car.
He was the opposite of Christopher. He wanted Mr. Rogers Sr. to live a long life, not only to protect him
but also to get some actual power from the Rogers family when he got older.
Harvey was patient. He looked out the window at the leaves that were gradually turning yellow on the
branches. It was destined to be an eventful fall.
“Hold your horses,” he said softly. “We will live longer than those people. Don’t lose your patience. Just
wait.”
Shawn seemed to have thought of something and was not as anxious as before after hearing what
Harvey had said. 1
