Chapter 1428
Nicole heard the sound and glanced at Lindy through the mirror. She pursed her lips and said flatly. "What's with the stupid look
on your face?"
Lindy's mouth twitched. "Why did you mess with Leighton?"
Nicole put on an innocent look and said. "I didn't. He was the one who came looking for me first."
Lindy frowned. "Don't you hate men? Why do you always tease him whenever you see him?"
Nicole lifted her finger to wipe away the excessive lipstick on the edge of her mouth and said with a smile, "I hate men. but I don't
hate little boys like him. Don't you think it's fun when he gets angry?"
Lindy remained expressionless as she thought to herself. 'I wonder if you'd still find it fun if things go wrong.'
Just as she was still in her thoughts, she heard Nicole saying. "Give a call to Mia and tell her to help the little pit bull out."
Lindy’s eyelid twitched. "Did you manage to get a taste of him just now? Why are you being so generous to him?"
Nicole was a very selfish person who would never share anything with others, including her manager and makeup artist.
She was earning a lot of money and offered very generous pay. So, they were very willing to work for her. After all, working for
one person meant a lighter workload. Plus, the pay was decent, too.
However, she was lending her exclusive makeup artist to Leighton, which confused Lindy. The only possibility Lindy could think
of was that Nicole had taken advantage of Leighton, and this was his compensation.
Nicole glanced at Lindy and said, "This is how a master shows love to her pet."
Lindy was speechless.
Leighton went back to his dressing room and rinsed his mouth for a very long time. His expression remained extremely dark.
'Fuck. I've already gone so far, yet she still wouldn't give in. Why did I talk so much with her? I should just tie her up and take a
bunch of ugly photos of her!'
Leighton regretted that he had not been more decisive earlier. Then, he heard his phone rang.
He answered it and heard a female voice from the other end, "Hello, my name is Mia Lopez. Are you Nicole's friend? She said
that you needed some help..."
Leighton was taken aback. He immediately untied Nicole in his mind. Then, he cleared his throat and said, "Yes, I am..."
That night was filled with tension, but he still managed to sort everything out in the end.
As soon as Stella went back home, she removed her shoes, walked into the house barefoot, and slumped onto the sofa.
Keegan bent down to put her shoes back in the cabinet and came inside after taking off his coat. He placed a glass of water on
the coffee table and sat beside Stella. "Tired?" he asked softly.
Stella shook her head. After a moment, she said, "Do you know anything about my stepmother?"
"I've already told you everything I know about her," Keegan said.
She was a friend of Stella's birth mother, a business partner of Enchanted, and a divorced woman with a child.
Also, she only got together with Wenham six years after Freesia passed away.
Everything seemed fine. But on second thought, it seemed like everything was not fine.
Stella could not figure out what kind of person would marry her friend's husband after her death.
If she were to ask Felicity whether she would marry Keegan after she died, Felicity would probably give her a piece of her mind
right there and then.
After that, during the meal where Stella reunited with her grandparents, Darcie hurriedly made her way there just to bring the
fountain pen that Jaylene bought and the perfume she had given herself.
Darcie appeared to be a very welcoming person, but it seemed like she had a hidden agenda.
Regarding the hotels, she really could not recall the names of the other hotels. Although some high-end hotels were among
them, Olivia pointed out that hotels of that level should never be on the list.
Oliva might be right. Perhaps Darcie was not as welcoming as she seemed to be.
After all, her arrival would disrupt the balance that had existed in the family for many years.
