Chapter 143

Her opponent seemed to know Nicole’s strength well, and to avoid the kick, he immediately let her hands
go as he darted backward, causing the kick to miss. In that brief exchange, Nicole had achieved what
she wanted. As she looked over coldly, a look of shock flashed across her eyes.

The person was looking downwards, seemingly entranced at her hand. He finally caught her, even
though it was only for a few seconds. A deep look gradually appeared in his eyes. Even though it was
just a few seconds, it could be a few minutes, a few hours in the future. ‘Does that not mean that he
could hold on to her forever and ever?’

He then looked up, his expression was wholly creepy. Nicole started at him and frowned. She did not
expect this at all.

It was actually Harvey! Thinking of his earlier behavior, a cold glint Mashed past Nicole’s face. “Harvey
Ellison, did you do that on purpose?” Harvey saw her looking at him. Her eyes were bright, like a snow
plain under a bright sun. It was everything most immaculate, and all that was reflected alongside him in
her eyes

He could not help but snigger. “Yes, I did this on purpose.” He looked up at her, a scorching light raging
in his eyes. “Nicole, can you tell me, what do I need to do for you to willingly allow yourself to fall into my
grasp?” Nicole looked at him now and saw that he had seemingly shed his warm outer skin as he was
radiating a danger that was beyond words, Thinking of his question, she looked impassively at Harvey.
“The thought of me falling into your grasp is itself delusional!” ‘I ain’t belong to anyone, and it is
impossible for me to fall into anyone’s grasp!’

When Harvey heard this, it was as if he had heard the greatest joke ever. How many people had wanted
his favor only for him to refuse them, yet Nicole seemed to be born to spurn him. That made him unable
to control the gaze he placed on her, yet he had no way to obtain her.



The light in his eyes flickered as he finally let out a smile before saying softly. “Understood.”

ole looked at his departing silhouette, her eyes somewhat impassive.

She suddenly thought of what Jared said earlier,

After slowly chewing through the words, she seemed to taste something different.

Early next morning, Nicole went for her morning training as usual and noticed that Harvey did not hinder
her. She instead ran into him on the track.

He was wearing a white tracksuit with a hairband tying his hair up. He looked unlike his usual style, but it
was particularly handsome. Many girls were taking photos as they whispered among themselves with
admiration in their eyes.

Seeing Nicole coming over, he smiled as he waved at her. “Nicole, over here.” Nicole looked at him with
an impassive face as she turned around and left. Harvey seemed to have expected this and continued
running without much reaction as the smile on his face remained.

A few girls were cursing Nicole for not knowing her place, and Harvey stopped as he looked at her coldly.
“Don’t let me hear that ever again.” Those girls had never seen him being so cold before and were so
scared they burst into tears, nodding as they promised to never repeat that again. Only then did Harvey
look away as he turned toward the direction Nicole had left, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

A benevolent hunter would capture his prey using the method the prey liked. And so, he would. After
coming back from her training, Nicole felt particularly irritated. ‘Do I need to train like this every morning if
Harvey shows up?’

The reason she refused to make contact with Harvey was that she felt that it was troublesome, but now,
it seemed like not making contact was equally troublesome.



She looked at the sun as she inexplicably recalled what Jared said yesterday. ‘What did he mean by you
win?’ When Nicole was on the way to the classroom, she was still thinking about it.

When she arrived, Bradley was already there and was reading intently. Lulu was not around, probably
being called by the teacher to get the study materials. June was seated there memorizing Esperian
vocabulary, and when she saw Nicole, she smiled at her.

When Nicole saw her, a smile too appeared in her eyes.

She then went to her seat, and just as she was about to pull out her exercise questions, a voice came
from behind her. “Nicole, what’s your relationship with Christo Rogers?” ‘Christo Rogers?’

Nicole thought for a bit and only remembered that he was the same Mr. Rogers Sr. who was the host of
yesterday’s birthday banquet.

The person asking her that was Gary. Nicole did not turn around and said, “Nothing.”

Gary looked firmly at her back. His brother told him yesterday that he saw Nicole at the banquet. He did
not believe it at first, but he then heard Mr. Rogers Sr. himself lead her into the banquet.

When Gary thought of it, he frowned.

Mr. Rogers Sr.’s attitude toward Nicole yesterday did not look like there was “nothing” between them. Yet,
when he used all sorts of hacking techniques, he could not get anything about Nicole at all, and Gary felt
a little miffed.

He dared not say how good his computer skills were, but he was definitely at the level of a pro hacker.
Finding out someone’s identity was a simple matter, and it was impossible for Nicole to hide her identity
under his tracking!
