Chapter 1327: Leave It to Me
The short knife from before was the one she personally plunged into his chest, and now, facing him, seeing his indifferent visage, she couldn’t help the sting in the corner of her eyes.
These days, she missed him, thought of him, knowing full well he had a fiancée, she still couldn’t control remembering their past together, and then her heart and eyes felt sore...
Under the streetlight, the two stood silent, the atmosphere awkward for a moment.
Jose Floyd caught a glimpse of Nicole from the corner of his eye, seeing her head bowed in silence, the topic between the two had dissipated. He, who usually said little, pursed his thin lips and spoke in a deep voice, "Jude Charington is wicked, stay away. You’ve been frequently following Jude Charington recently, my people can sense the anomaly, and his too."
Nicole looked up at Jose Floyd, upon hearing ’Jude Charington,’ her eyes filled with coldness and hatred, "Jude Charington—he killed my brother! The police said that the people who attacked you back then were Jude Charington’s people, and the bullet that killed my brother wasn’t yours, it could only be from those who attacked you! And the biggest culprit is Jude Charington! The evil and sinister Jude Charington!"
Upon hearing that Jude Charington was the murderer, Jose Floyd’s eyes remained very calm, not a trace of surprise.
Nicole looked at Jose Floyd, "Did you already know it was Jude Charington attacking you, did you already know it was Jude Charington’s men who killed my brother?"
Jose Floyd said nothing, indicating a tacit acknowledgment.
Nicole paused, "Actually, since you found out my brother died at the hands of those attacking you, you knew it was Jude Charington. You didn’t say anything because you knew that I would seek revenge, right?"
Facing Nicole’s questioning gaze, Jose Floyd pursed his lips again and continued to be silent.
"Even if you hide it, I know now! I want revenge, and I’ll definitely make Jude Charington pay!" Nicole clenched the tiramisu in her hand, and seeing the still-silent Jose Floyd, her heart felt heavy. She turned around and wouldn’t stay any longer, heading back towards the Floyd Family.
Nicole walked past Jose Floyd, silent with pursed lips.
Suddenly, her hand was held by Jose Floyd, his strong wrist stopping her steps, keeping her in place.
Nicole slowly turned to look at Jose Floyd.
Jose Floyd pursed his thin lips again, his voice deep and heavy as he spoke, "Leave it to me."
Just these three simple words, spoken to Nicole, Jose Floyd’s gaze deep and unwavering.
Nicole looked at Jose Floyd, her fingers somewhat stiff, "Jose Floyd—"
"Leave it to me, Jude Charington still owes me many things, I will not let him go! And you, I forbid you to provoke him!" Jose Floyd held Nicole’s wrist firmly, his voice powerful and strong.
Nicole bit her lip and looked at Jose Floyd, "But Jude Charington killed my brother, he’s a murderer..."
"Leave it to me! Nicole, you’ve already destroyed the most beautiful years of your youth for revenge, sacrificed eight years of your life! How much more time do you want to waste on this hatred? A lifetime?!" Jose Floyd’s voice turned cold, his gaze sharp, "If you try to approach Jude Charington using the same method you approached me, seeking revenge, do you believe I’ll kill you in place of Jude Charington?"
Nicole’s gaze toward Jose Floyd became even deeper, her wrist held by him, feeling the chill seeping into her wrist.
He seemed to be using his actions and attitude to demonstrate that if she dared to use the same method to approach Jude Charington, he would indeed take action against her.
As the two were stalemated, Stuart Floyd’s voice returning from outside came from behind them.
"Nicole, why are you outside?"
Upon hearing the voice, Nicole immediately turned around, noticing the sudden appearance of Stuart Floyd, her wrist still held by Jose Floyd. Her expression was slightly awkward as she greeted, "Godfather..."
