Sharon opened her mouth wordlessly, not knowing what to say. After all, she knew better than anyone else how

resilient her daughter was.

Nicole’s ability to overcome obstacles calmly was why the entire family was relieved to hand over the family

business to her.

However, Gareth was the only exception to her. He was the only person who could break through her defenses and

make her emotional.

No one else in the world could make her sob.

Sharon held her hand and took the phone away from her. “Stop reading. You know the situation better than anyone

else.”

The toxic comment section might agitate her even more.

Nicole sat stonily on the couch, not responding to her mother.

Though she controlled her tears, she still felt a dull ache in her heart. No matter how much she was in denial, she

saw Gareth taking the initiative to wrap his arms around Elisa as they left. Elisa was the passive one in their

relationship.

If Elisa also liked Gareth, Nicole felt worthy of being her opponent. However, Elisa treated him coldly.

The fact that Gareth took the initiative made Nicole feel utterly defeated. This wasn’t the result she had hoped to

see.

But what can I do now? What else can I do? I don’t even have the opportunity to speak to him; he doesn’t like it if

I’m too forward. I could replace an excuse to discuss business with him, but that will result in a formal discussion

without much interaction. That is not what I want.

A wave of sorrow engulfed her.

She was at a loss, with annoyance and grievances building up within her.

“The more I look at it, the more I think that something’s off with the video. It seems he’s just putting on a show,”

Sharon said softly, looking at her daughter.

Nicole’s eyelashes fluttered. Indeed, she had just seen a similar comment moments ago, and she had been

convincing herself that was the case.

Nevertheless, she still couldn’t forget the moment he plucked roses for Elisa. After that, the roses were laid at the

entrance of the office.

Since the office had a wide entrance, he would have to buy more roses to fill it up.

The thought of him picking flowers for Elisa and asking people to do that made Nicole feel miserable.

“Think about it – if he truly means it, why did their conversation end so quickly? Everyone was watching them at

that moment. He should publicly display his affection for her to fulfill a woman’s pride. However, he didn’t do that at

all. It’s obvious that he’s just putting on a show.”

Nicole blinked, but she remained silent.

Then, Sharon’s phone received a notification. She shot a glance at it before passing it to Nicole.

“Here, look at this.”

Nicole took it with a perplexed expression.

After reading the contents, she looked shocked. Julia forced Gareth to surprise Elisa, but Elisa left in despair.

“This…”

Sharon said dubiously, “There’s something behind the scenes we aren’t aware of.”

Nicole pursed her lips, but she started looking hopeful. “Is that so?”
