Rift in the perfect picture

Chapter 0347

The camera immediately focused on Jasmine. She looked as if she was greatly wronged and kept choking up. I was even more surprised

Nicholas had always been gentle and proper in public had rarely seen him confront anyone in a public setting before I did not expect such harsh words to be directed at Jasmine

The director was skilled at reading the room. He immediately signaled for the other guests to pass the mic to me. For a moment, my extremely surprised expression was captured on camera, but I quickly composed myself and smiled slightly

“Thank you, Ms. Cooper, for raising this question. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known people might think this way

“My initial intention in participating in the show was to make people aware that we now have a sound legal system in our daily lives.

“When we encounter issues, we’re not fighting alone. I believe everyone sitting here shares this thought. With so many like–minded people, I’m at ease leaving the show in your hands.

“My main profession is being a lawyer. Compared to those online, many more people need help offline.”

After I finished speaking the venue remained quiet. I was not sure if people were moved by my speech or if they were still shocked that Nicholas defended me earlier. There was no response at all.

“Clap, clap, clap ”

Suddenly, applause filled the quiet venue. It was followed by more enthusiastic applause erupting in an

instant

I looked up at Nicholas with emotion pooling in my eyes. This seemed to be the most enthusiastic applause I had ever received. Among them was applause from him, the one who was against the idea of

me working

I beamed in the light. At that moment, Nicholas also smiled. The production team edited together the faces of Nicholas, Jasmine, and I. Compared to her pale face, Nicholas and I looked incredibly happy as we smiled

The final dinner ended perfectly. At the end of the show, the production team invited guests to stay for dinner, which would be aired as a bonus clip.

Nicholas was of course invited. He strode onto the stage and put his arm around my shoulder. I tried to dodge, but he did not give me the chance. I struggled a few times without success.

Without hesitation, he led me to sit at the center of the dining table, which was right in front of the small

Camera

“Your necklace is crooked.”

He glanced at me and turned to adjust it. Watching his attentive manner, I thought his taut jawline would once again captivate the audience

“Oh?” The weight on my neck suddenly lightened. It was followed by pearls clattering to the ground.

“It’s

my

fault, dear, I accidentally broke your favorite pearl necklace. After the show, I’ll take you to buy an even bigger one.”

He smiled. A fresh hickey was visible on my collarbone,

Jasmine’s eyes were red. If she still did not understand the situation at that moment, she was truly beyond help. Nicholas was not here to help her, but rather to step on her to show me some respect.

Nicholas’s warning to her was not a joke. He said she had crossed his bottom line by repeatedly hurting. Ariana, but Ariana was not missing any limbs, so how was that hurt? Not being able to bear children anymore was called being hurt?

Respectful praise sounded from all around. Nicholas just smiled faintly as he kept his arm around my shoulder. He graciously drank quite a bit of the wine others offered him.

To my own surprise, I did not turn him away at this moment. I looked like an obedient wife by his side.

Wasn’t blatant favoritism from him what I once wanted? It seemed that his actions had made up for some past regrets at this moment.

As the drinking continued, someone boldly asked Nicholas about his relationship with Jasmine. Nicholas just calmly said one sentence, and it made Jasmine snap.
