Chapter 1269: How Dare You Get Engaged?! [1]
Every inch of the place Jose Floyd’s camera swept over was still exactly the same as before.
That night, by the time she rushed over, Wade’s body was already ice-cold, the white shirt in front of him soaked through with glaringly bright red blood, stabbing at her eyes.
It was right here that Jose Floyd took Wade’s life! And it was also in this bar that she successfully got close to Jose Floyd! That’s where her road of revenge began, and where she ended up losing everything, giving Jose Floyd every last thing she had!
"Nicole, why aren’t you saying anything? But you sitting there all quiet with today’s makeup is seriously like a painting, no wonder you were the class beauty! I’ll take a screenshot and post it to Moments—our class beauty is getting married, that news is definitely gonna blow up the old classmates’ chat!"
On Camden’s end he really pressed the screenshot key, saving Nicole’s appearance as a picture.
On Nicole’s side, Ariel Morris walked in to urge her that time was up; all the guests had arrived, and she needed to go with Steven Cooper to start the engagement ceremony.
Nicole gave Jose Floyd a faint smile. "My engagement ceremony’s starting over here. Camden, let’s talk next time."
Camden waved his hand. "Wishing our Sister Nicole and your fiancé lifelong happiness together and lots of babies soon! I’m heading into the bar to have some fun too, gonna show everyone your beautiful photo from today!"
The two of them hung up the video call.
Anaya Campbell opened up Nicole’s jewelry box and spread it out, smiling. "So many earrings, which pair are you wearing?"
Anaya’s long, slender fingertips picked through the jewelry box; among the pile of expensive pieces, a pair of pearl earrings stood out particularly bright. Anaya picked up the earrings. "This pair of pearls is gorgeous, they’d go great with your purple dress today."
Nicole’s expression stiffened a little. She took the pearl earrings from Anaya’s hand and said flatly, "Change to another pair. I don’t like pearls."
"Alright then, you pick a pair yourself."
Nicole hummed in acknowledgment, casually grabbed a pair of rhinestone earrings and put them on, then gave Anaya a faint smile. "Okay, perfect. Thanks for the trouble."
"You’re welcome. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness."
"Okay."

At the same time in Italy, at Bruce Walkers’s bar.
Camden walked up to the bar with the screenshot he’d just taken, ordered a drink, and tossed his phone to the classmates who’d come along. Raising his brows with a grin, he said, "Our class beauty Nicole is engaged! Gorgeous or what? Gorgeous or what?"
The phone kept getting passed between a few of them. "Class beauty’s still as beautiful as ever! Shame she’s someone else’s flower now! Back then there were several guys in our class who liked Nicole, but not one of them dared confess, all because her boyfriend had way too much presence! He just gave people this ’try stealing Nicole from me and you’re dead’ kind of feeling."
"Damn, I’m saving this picture and keeping it to admire! If I can’t have our class beauty Nicole, I can at least imagine she’s my dream girl, right? A beautiful dream would still comfort my wounded heart! We can soar together in my dreams!"
"Hand the phone over to me, man! Nicole’s my buddy, who said you could fantasize about her! Pervert!"
Camden held out his hand toward the guys and barked, "Hurry up, or I’ll kick your ass!"
The guys refused no matter what, and Camden got fired up and started wrestling with them to snatch the phone back. In the pushing and grabbing, someone threw the phone up high and it flew toward the middle of the bar.
Just then, two people had walked in and were heading into the bar; seeing something suddenly flying their way, their faces darkened.
The newcomers were none other than Jose Floyd and Camden.
Seeing something flying at them, Camden immediately stepped in front of Jose Floyd, but Jose Floyd coldly grabbed him and pushed him aside.
The object hit the floor, landing right by Jose Floyd’s feet. Jose Floyd’s cold eyes lowered slightly, his gaze shifting to the thing that had fallen at his feet.
It was a phone——-
