Chapter 1041

Author: Summer
"What's wrong with you today? Are you not feeling well?" Nicole looked at the director's strange look with amusement.

"Nicole, how have you been?" Chloe emerged from the dressing room and came to a stop in front of Nicole.

"Chloe? What are you doing here?" Nicole sized her up and noticed that her makeup and clothes were the exact theme of today's shoot.

"Didn't you get the notice?" Chloe smiled at her.

"What notice?" Nicole looked at her in puzzlement.

"You tell her," Chloe said to the director condescendingly.

The director looked at Nicole in a predicament.

"It is okay. Just tell me." Nicole could see the director's dilemma.

"Mr. Henry has replaced your endorsement with Miss Chloe, so you don't have to come over for future filming." The director carefully observed Nicole's expression, afraid that she would be angry and blame him.

Nicole sneered. "I thought it was some big deal. It turned out to be just this trivial thing. Since you like the endorsement so much, I will give i

    "Following me may be more stressful than following Chloe, so be prepared for that." Nicole looked into her eyes and could see that Kelly was not too determined."I'm not afraid of hardship.""Then try to work with me first. If you feel you can't stand it anymore, tell me, and I will arrange another job for you." Nicole decided to keep her around to try her out first."Where do you live now?" Nicole asked."I live in the suburbs, far from here.""Then how do you get here to work every day?" Nicole looked at her curiously."I take a bus ride to the subway and change a few lines to get to the workplace," Kelly said.It sounded like a lot of trouble to Nicole, but Kelly appeared nonchalant, as if she was so used to it she did not find it troublesome anymore."That's too inconvenient. I will help you find a place to live in the city, and then you can move here for work." Nicole deliberately said it was for work in case Kelly would not come over."Oh." Kelly naively thought that Nic

    Doctors and nurses examined Mr. Johnston Sr. as usual. Nicole watched their actions, but her thoughts wandered off into the distance. It was only when the doctor finished the examination and said goodbye she came back to her senses. "Goodbye."Nicole did not find any suspicious signs in the ward, so she walked out to the reception. "Who has been visiting Mr. Johnston Sr. lately?""Besides you and Mr. Jared, Mr. Johnston came once."" Mr. Johnston; you mean Henry Johnston?""Yes.""Did he come alone, or did he bring someone else with him?" Nicole asked."He came with Castor and no one else.""Okay, thank you."She figured that if it was only Henry and Castor, they could not have done it on their own; there must be other suspects. Nicole was deep in thought and unknowingly came in front of the duty roster. She casually glanced at it, and suddenly a thought flashed through her mind. She immediately examined the duty roster, on which were the photos of two doctors and four nurses.

    "Call up the footage of this white-robed man who came out of the men's room." Nicole pointed to the person in the white robe on the screen.The security staff immediately called up the surveillance footage. After the man came out of the men's room, he did not take the elevator but used the stairs to go to the floor where Mr. Johnston Sr.'s ward was. Out of the stairway, he checked around to make sure no one was seeing and then headed toward Mr. Johnston Sr.'s ward. After making sure that no one was inside, he pushed the door open and went in. Since it was a VIP ward, there was also surveillance inside. Through the surveillance footage, Nicole could clearly see the man entering the ward, checking the condition of Mr. Johnston Sr., as if to determine if Mr. Johnston Sr. was still in a coma, and then injecting some substance into the infusion bottle.After watching the entire video, Nicole and the security staff gasped in shock. She had been focused on Henry and had not thought that som

    "How come you are the only one here? Where is Jared?" Harvey came in and asked when he did not see Jared."He is out of town on business." Nicole sat back in her chair and said."A business trip? After what happened to his grandfather, he had to go on a business trip?" Harvey could not understand Jared's behavior. In his opinion, Jared was a workaholic, and he was still in the mood to travel at this time. If it were him, he could not do that."He can't help it." Nicole explained to Jared but said nothing more, because it would involve the internal affairs of the company."Hmph, you believe him when he says there is nothing he can do? He is a CEO. Why couldn't he leave things to his subordinates, and why did he need to travel at this time? Could he be…" Harvey had an exaggerated expression on his face."Are you here to gossip or to visit Mr. Johnston Sr.?" Nicole could not stand any longer and reminded him."Sorry, off-topic." Harvey saw Nicole's expression all change before he re

    "Harvey, my house is on the beach. You can't get a cab there. Are you sure you want to come back with me?" Nicole got in the car, trying to dissuade him again."I love the beach so much. Let's get going. I can't wait." Instead of getting out of the car, Harvey urged Nicole to drive.Harvey's cheekiness defeated her. She could not continue to harp on the issue with him, so she started the car and drove to the sea view villa.On the way, Harvey felt the car was too quiet and asked, "Don't you think you should play some music?"Nicole gave him a frown and kept driving. After a while, he asked again, "If you don't have music in the car, I can play it on my phone."Nicole gave him an impatient look and turned on the music. Since she could not stop him, she might as well play the music in the car. At least the sound was better than his.Harvey hummed along with the rhythm of the music, really not taking himself as an outsider. He got high, becoming so relaxed that Nicole felt a bit emb

    Tia stood up and helped Mrs. Wallace Sr. walk outside.Harvey looked at Nicole. "What do you mean? I'm having a wonderful conversation with your grandmother. What's with the sun? I know you too well; you are just afraid I will annoy your grandma. You could have just said so." Harvey also stood up."Where are you going?" Nicole asked when she saw him get up."I'm changing a spot, can't I?" Harvey looked at her with a puzzled expression. 'When did she become so bossy? Even if this is her house, can't I change to sit in a different spot?'"Ahh, okay."Now Harvey sat a little closer to Nicole and glanced at her. Seeing that she had no intention of talking to him, he had to find something to talk about. "Nicole, any news from Scott?"Nicole was still thinking about the hospital thing and heard not his question. Seeing that she was not paying attention to him, Harvey plucked up his courage to ask again.Only then did Nicole hear his question. "Yes. He has set up the R&D team." Then th

    "Absolutely. I can see this guy cares about you a lot. You should have asked him to stay for dinner." Tia snickered."Tia, I think you are looking for a fight, right?" Nicole raised her hand and chased after Tia. The two of them started a mad scuffle around Mrs. Wallace Sr."Alas, you two are going to make me dizzy."Abroad, Jared sat in the room and looked up at the stage. "Max, how many of the companies here today really want the land?""Most of them are here for the fun of it. Only 80 percent of those in the front row want the land," Max said.Jared smirked when he found that there were not as many competitors as he thought and was confident of winning the bid for the piece of land he wanted.The bidding started with the auctioneer coming onstage and gave some obligatory talk, then entered the main business."Now on the big screen is the first land, a total area of 336,415 square feet with a starting price of $93 million and a bid incremental value of $2 million. The bidding

    "$240 million from Bidder 19.""$260 million.""$260 million from Bidder 23."..."$300 million.""$300 million from Bidder 4. $300 million once.""$350 million.""$350 million from Bidder 5. Any higher?" The auctioneer waved his right hand excitedly on the stage."$380 million.""$380 million from Bidder 4.""Max.""$400 million.""$400 million from Bidder 5."The middle-aged man in the front row looked back at Jared and continued to raise his bid card. "$450 million.""$450 million from Bidder 4."There were more murmurs from the people in the room. "It looks like Bidder 4 and 5 are going at it.""Today's auction is interesting.""$500 million.""Awesome." The people at the back could not control themselves but exclaim. This was the highest bid in the room. That a piece of land with an area of over 1.3 million square feet could fetch this price was phenomenal."Are there any more bids?" The auctioneer deliberately paused for a few seconds; the higher the price, the

    "Let's go, it's time to head down. The ceremony will start soon."The group laughed and talked as they left the bridal suite. Jared and his friends, Spencer and Preston, were also guided out by everyone.Now, only the family of four remained in the bridal suite, getting ready for their big entrance."Mommy, it's almost time. Let's get ready," Nolan said, pulling on Nicole's hand.Nicole gently patted Nolan and Lana's cheeks, whispering, "Okay."As she made to stand, Jared extended his hand toward her. Lifting her gaze, she caught Jared in a moment of elegance, his charm unmistakable. A smile bloomed on her face as she placed her hand in his.With a gentle tug, Jared drew her up, his touch tender against her palm.In a swift move, he pulled Nicole into his arms, his other hand circling her waist to pull her close.As Jared looked at Nicole, admiration shimmered in his eyes.

    Nicole laughed off the debate between Lulu and June, saying, "Both are lovely. I'm happy with either."Both sets of jewelry were beautiful, and she felt that either would do."Exactly. Nicole will shine in anything," Cindy said, picking a set. "Let's go with this one."Lulu gave June a victorious look. "Told you this was the one."Cindy then suggested, "Why not wear this for the ceremony and switch for the reception? That way, we use both.""Great idea," June agreed, smiling at Cindy's suggestion.Nicole smiled. "Sounds perfect."With everyone agreeing, the stylist went ahead with preparing Nicole.Lulu watched Nicole, amazed by how calm she seemed. "Aren't you a bit nervous?" she asked. Lulu remembered her own wedding jitters.Nicole bit her lip, a hint of nerves showing. "I'm more excited than anything," she admitted.She had been looking forward to this day, ready to face the future with Jared with hope and joy."Just finished," the stylist announced, stepping back to adm

    "Do you think I don't want to meet someone? I just haven't found the right person," Gary said somewhat resignedly. He had long regarded Nicole as just a friend."Why don't we just try the dates our families set up?" Ryder suggested, calm and collected. He figured since finding someone on his own wasn't working, maybe arranged dates could help. In their circles, it seemed like good matches were meant to be."Arranged dates don't sound great. You hardly know the person. Are we really okay with deciding to spend our lives together like that?" Preston wasn't too keen on the idea."Emery's doing pretty well with it, you know," Ryder said confidently. "I trust our families. They wouldn't set us up with someone terrible. They've probably made sure we'd be a good match."Gary thought it over. "You might be right. Our families aren't just trying to make deals; they want us to be happy."As Gary and Ryder seemed more into the idea, Preston was still unsure. "You guys are serious?""Why not

    Jared held Nicole close and looked at her. "After we get married, we'll move to the estate," he said.Their future home would be just theirs.He thought it was good for Nicole to spend more time with her family since she hadn't been with them for five years. But they knew they would move to the estate later."Okay," Nicole said, nodding. She was happy Jared made the estate close to her family, so she was okay with moving.Jared gently touched her hair and kissed her...****Time flew, and soon it was Nicole and Jared's wedding day.From the morning, San Joto was alive with excitement. Everyone was talking about Jared and Nicole's wedding.Politicians, business leaders, close friends, and business partners all came to wish the couple well.The Riddles were busy welcoming the guests, making everything look amazing."Patricia, hurry up, Charlie's here," Ellar called out as he spotted Charlie. He quickly got Patricia to come and greet him. Max, hearing the fuss, came over too.C

    "You really need to rest. You shouldn't work for the next few days. Stay home and rest. A bride has to look her best," Gloria said, looking at Nicole and making the decision for her."Bride!" Nicole was surprised because she hadn't talked about any wedding yet."Yes, now that everything is settled, it's time for your wedding with Jared," Gloria said, deciding firmly. She used to think it was best for the kids to decide for themselves, but after several delays, she felt waiting longer made no sense. The wedding should happen soon."I was thinking that too," Jared said. They had planned the wedding after solving the Everett problem, but then they found out Lawrence had hurt Nicole in the past, causing more delays. Now, with everything sorted out, they saw no reason to wait. The wedding was the next big step.Nicole looked at Jared and, with a smile, agreed, "Okay." Their wedding had been waiting for five years; it was time, with no need to wait any longer."That's so cool, I'm the f

    Patricia felt a mix of reluctance and happiness as she prepared to part ways with Charlie.Jared glanced at Charlie and said, "It's about time for us to board." He tenderly held Nicole's hand and led her toward the boarding gate."I need to go through the boarding procedures too," Patricia said, biting her lip. "You must find happiness as well.""I will," Charlie assured her with a gentle smile, giving her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "You've grown up, too. You don't need to cling to me anymore. I believe Ellar will take great care of you."Patricia nodded, then, leaning closer to Charlie, she whispered, 'When Mr. Johnston and Ms. Riddle get married, make sure you bring my future sister-in-law back with you.' Caught off guard, Charlie playfully scolded her, "You little rascal."Doretta, standing not too far away, overheard Patricia's whispered words. Her cheeks turned even redder."Let's go," Patricia announced, then turned to Doretta, adding, "We'll meet again.""Goodbye,

    Lying in bed with Nicole cradled in his arms, Jared whispered gently, "Sleep for a bit.""Mhm." Finally feeling at peace, Nicole smiled slightly, and she quickly fell asleep.As Jared listened to her soft breathing, his eyes softened with affection, and he too closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.The next morning, as the group got ready to head back to San Joto, Zane and Doretta came to say goodbye."I still have things to finish here, but I promise to be at your wedding," Zane said with a big smile."And I'll be there to wish you well, Nicole," Doretta added.Saying goodbye is always hard, but everyone knew they had their own journeys to continue."Great, we'll see you in San Joto," Nicole said with a bright smile."It's time to go," Zane said, knowing they couldn't wait any longer without risking missing their plane."I've got the paperwork," Patricia said, ready to help with the travel documents for Jared and Nicole. Then, looking at Charlie, she asked, "Need help with

    Nicole was quiet, thinking about everything. 'If I hadn't remembered everything, maybe Lawrence and I could have stayed friends. But after finding out about the airport, it's impossible...'Not only had she regained her memory, but she had also learned about the airport incident. Lawrence had gone to great lengths to prevent her from returning to San Joto."Thanks for saving me before, but you also hurt me. We're even now," Nicole said calmly, looking at Lawrence like he was someone she didn't know anymore.Jared squeezed Nicole's hand gently. "Let's go."They decided to leave the rest to Zane and head back."Wait." Lawrence's voice stopped Nicole. He sounded almost like he was begging. "Please, don't tell Nolan about this."Nicole paused, then said, "I won't tell him. Not for you, but because I don't want Nolan to see how bad people can be."With that, Nicole walked away with Jared.Lawrence sat down, watching her leave, with mixed feelings."Let's go too," Patricia said to C

    "Your robots don't work anymore," a voice said, sounding very pleased. Then, a person came out from behind the crowd, looking pretty proud of himself."Carl!" Nicole was shocked to see him. 'It's Carl!'"It's been a while." Carl smiled and waved at Nicole.Carl had come as soon as Zane told him about the problem. He couldn't just do nothing when Nicole needed help.He didn't expect them to act so soon, which is why he was a little late. But he was still in time to help. Carl was surprised by Lawrence's robots at first, but luckily, the weapons he brought, which he had been working on for years, stopped the robots. This was a big help to everyone."We really need to thank Carl; we would have been in big trouble without him," Zane said, feeling relieved.Zane had asked Carl for help, hoping it would make them more likely to win, but Carl ended up being very important."Thank you," Nicole said with a warm smile. It was nice to see an old friend again."No need to thank me. I'm jus
