Chapter 71
Sharon thought for a moment, then nodded. “Okay.” As soon as she finished speaking, the dark sky around them burst into a display of brifiant fireworks enveloping the two in a dreamlike night sky.
Nicholas, dressed in a white suit, stood gracefully. Sharon, in her black evening gown, looked stunning and charming. Together, they made a perfect couple.
“Okay, what?” Richard’s tone was not friendly.
“I don’t agree.” Marvin quickly followed.
Suddenly, two ill–timed voices came through, and Richard and Marvin had already rushed over, staring at Nicholas. Their suspicions were confirmed. Nicholas had ulterior motives and was trying to take Sharon away.
Nicholas was indeed not a good guy. Men were all troublemakers, and they all had ill intentions toward Sharon. At this moment, they had forgotten that they were men themselves. The two imposing figures stormed over and stood in front of them.
Sharon spoke softly. “Why?”
Richard was taken aback for a moment. He glanced

motorcycle to flirt with her. Richard was familiar with these playboys‘ tricks.
Marvin grabbed Nicholas by the collar and lowered his voice. “Nicholas, you’re getting more creative. The motorcycle trick is old news. I’ve used it so many times before. You need to come up with something new.”
Marvin was a well–known playboy from Aerions, and he could spot these pick–up tricks a mile away.
Nicholas looked at Sharon with an innocent expression, weak, pitiful, and helpless. He was innocent. He just wanted to give her a unique gift.
Sharon suddenly felt a bit sorry for Nicholas. He was the heir bullied by her brothers and dared not fight back.
or the Baxter family, the foremost of the four great families, yet he was always the one being
‘There are so many people here. I should give Mr. Baxter some dignity,‘ she thought. She took the initiative to speak. “Richie, I wanted to do it. I really like this gift.”
‘She really likes it? It’s rare to see Sharon say she likes a gift so much,‘ Richard thought.
Richard spoke up with a hint of sadness. “Do you not like the gift I prepared?”
Oh no, Sharon quickly tried to make amends. “Guys, I love the gifts you gave me the most. They are irreplaceable.”
Richard immediately dropped his anger and looked at Nicholas triumphantly. ‘See? Shari likes my gifts the most. An outsider has no chance at all,‘ he thought.
Nicholas thought to himself, ‘I never intended to compete for her affection. Really. After all, brothers and fiancés are different.‘
“Since Shari likes it, suddenly this motorcycle doesn’t look so bad.” Marvin released his grip, glanced at the motorcycle, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. “The specs on this bike are pretty good. It barely matches Shari’s status.”
In fact, the engine of this bike was the legendary limited edition. The body was great, and the craftsmanship was excellent.
Marvin liked it more and more. The bike was really good, and it was clear a lot of thought had gone into it. His prejudice against Nicholas dir a little bit, just a tiny bit, not much.
At least Nicholas’s attitude showed that he truly cared about Sharon, and Marvin reluctantly put him on the shortlist for consideration.

Richard still looked unhappy. He spoke earnestly to Shari. “Motorcycles look cool, and they’re actually quite dangerous. When M rebellious phase, he loved motorcycles and almost lost his life in an accident.”
Marvin thought to himself. ‘Richard, can you defend my dignity? Who doesn’t have a few embarrassing moments in their past?
But at this moment, Marvin didn’t argue. Instead, he nodded. “Right. Judging by Nicholas’s skills, something might go wrong
Nicholas, who was being criticized, once had a nickname, King of the Road. He quietly moved to the side and drew circles in the air. He knew it wasn t about his skills; that wasn’t the point.
Sharon looked at the motorcycle with a hint of regret. “Actually, I can ride a little. I don’t need someone to take me.” She liked to do it hersell.
“Well, that’s not allowed either.” Richard was even more worried. It would be better to let Nicholas take Sharon. At least there would be someone to blame if something went wrong.
“Yeah, Shari, the dress you’re wearing today isn’t convenient for riding. Trust me. We’ll find another opportunity to go together,” Marvin said.
This was such a pity. The light in Sharon’s eyes dimmed. She really wanted to try it now, and she was in a great mood.
Today at the party, she had stood up for her brothers, making those snobbish nobles look awkward. Although they didn’t like her brothers, they had to put on a smiling face and try to get close, which was extremely satisfying.
Sharon loved the feeling of people disliking her but being unable to do anything about it.
“How about this? let Shari take me, and I’ll protect her,” Nicholas, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
Sharon’s eyes lit up, then quickly dimmed again. “Let’s just forget it.”
Richard scratched his buzz cut. “Then come back quickly and don’t go far,” he couldn’t bear to see Shari’s disappointed expression.
Sharon let out a sigh of relief, her lips curving into two dimples, looking both gentle and adorable. She could finally ride the motorcycle.
“Thank you, Richard,” Nicholas spoke up.
Richard’s face twitched slightly, but he didn’t care about his thanks. ‘If it weren’t for Sharon, who would give you this chance?‘ he thought.
Sharon lifted her dress and straddled the motorcycle with a cool and charming move, swift and neat.
Her black evening gown flowed over the motorcycle, revealing glimpses of her long legs, making her pose both fierce and stylish.
