First Loves Return Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416 

It was quite a coincidence. Some time ago, when Nikolas took his kept woman to a jewelry store to buy accessories, he happened to hit it off with one of the sales associates. 

Having been with countless women, Nikolas was a playboy through and through. Whenever he saw a beautiful woman who piqued his interest, he would think about getting her into bed. 

That day, he spent over 320 thousand dollars on a necklace for his kept woman, pleasing her while also showing off his wealth to the store employees. 

When the woman went to the restroom, Nikolas took the opportunity to ask the sales associate for her contact information. 

That very night, they ended up in bed together. 

On Valentine’s Day, Nikolas called the sales associate out again. 

In a couple–themed hotel suite, after having sex, Nikolas casually tossed a card to the woman.“Happy Valentine’s Day, baby. It’s for you.” 

The woman accepted the card with a smile, and then, with a hint of suggestion, pouted at Nikolas.“Nikolas, you never put any thought into picking out gifts for me. It’s always just money. Today, a customer at our store bought a limited–edition Valentine’s Day necklace for 2 million dollars for his girlfriend. I was so envious. He must love his girlfriend deeply.” 

Nikolas scoffed, leaning against the headboard as he leisurely smoked a post–sex cigarette, exhaling the smoke. 

Feeling satisfied, he was in a good mood and did not get angry at the woman’s comment. Instead, he chuckled and patiently said, “There’s over 150 thousand dollars in that card. Buy whatever you want. Money is all that matters. You still expect love?” 

The woman crawled over and rested her head on his chest, her voice soft and sweet.“I was just saying.” 

Nikolas flicked off some ash from his cigarette, his expression indifferent.“Don’t ever mention love in front of me.” 

“I understand.” 

Nikolas did not think much of it at the time. 

Not long after Valentine’s Day, Lennon suddenly started investigating him intensely, as if he had been provoked by something. Bruce’s side had only made a small mistake, but Lennon’s people immediately found a flaw and exploited it. 

It was not long before Bruce was arrested by the police. 

All the companies under his control were also thoroughly investigated. 

At first, Nikolas went mad, sending people to kill Lennon, but none of the attempts succeeded. 

After suffering heavy losses in manpower and resources, Nikolas decided to use an old trick, going after the people around Lennon instead. Initially, his target was the actress rumored to be involved with Lennon.
