Even if she was reluctant, at that moment, Leopold had no choice but to consider the bigger picture. He politely exchanged a few pleasantries with the elders of the Beauvort family.

Afterward, he found an excuse to leave first.

He had initially planned to take Nicole away with him, but unexpectedly, Nicole started chatting with Wrenn as if they were old friends.

Seeing the situation, Leopold naturally couldn’t take her sister away, so he had no choice but to leave first.

Nicole achieved her goal and began to cotton up to Wrenn, carefully choosing words that the latter would love to hear.

Wrenn didn’t notice anything amiss. Plus, considering Nicole was the granddaughter of her benefactor, it was only natural for her to be a bit more enthusiastic.

After chatting for a while, Wrenn casually asked, “Both you and your brother are blessed with good looks and come from a respectable family. You both are so polite and well-mannered. There must be many people who like you, right? Have you found someone you fancy yet?”

A fleeting shadow passed through Nicole’s eyes, gone in an instant, unnoticed by anyone.

She gave a harmless smile, feigning innocence as she said, “I’m still single, but it seems like my brother has someone he’s interested in. He just never talks to me about it, so I’m a bit in the dark.”

Wrenn nodded in understanding. “I see. Your brother is an outstanding man. Any girl who can capture his heart must be exceptional as well.”

Nicole nodded earnestly, saying, “Yes, just like Ms. Garcia. My brother used to admire Ms. Garcia a lot. It’s the first time I’ve seen him admire a woman so much. In the past, my brother was indifferent to women, just like a block of wood.”

She composedly spoke ill of her brother, waiting for Wrenn to fall into her trap.
