Chapter 1052

Author: Summer
"Mr. Johnston, it is Mr. Henry who had ordered us to protect Mr. Johnston Sr."

Jared nodded gently. "Have you noticed anything unusual lately?"

"No. Only Miss Riddle and Mr. Ellison of the Ellison Group came over as of recent."

"Mr. Ellison?" Jared frowned. "You mean, Harvey Ellison?"

"Yes."

Jared gasped and sighed, annoyed with Harvey, who he thought was adept at exploiting the tiniest of opportunities to make his advances on Nicole while he was away. Then, he strode over and sat down at the bedside, looking at Mr. Johnston Sr.'s face as he slumbered. "Grandpa, why haven't you woken up yet?"

All of a sudden, something miraculous transpired. Perhaps it was the medication or perhaps, Mr. Johnston Sr. had heard Jared's voice. Whatever the cause was, the old man's fingers began twitching.

Claus saw that and exclaimed, "He is moving!"

With his eyes widened, Jared whirled around and stared at Claus. "What did you say?"

"Mr. Johnston!" Claus pointed at the hand of the elderly Johnst

    "You saw your grandpa's fingers move?" Nicole repeated in shock."Yes, and it wasn't just me." Jared glanced at Claus. "He saw it too.""Did you?" Nicole looked at Claus with her eyes widened.She could not help but beat herself up deep within for missing such a significant moment, even though she had been tending to the elderly Johnston every day since he was hospitalized, while Jared and Claus, who had just arrived, had already witnessed it. However, she also knew that her medicine had worked. As Mr. Johnston Sr. had shown signs of consciousness today, he would most probably wake up tomorrow or the day after, should there be no incidents. Still, she knew that these were just her own speculations, and she could tell no one about it just yet."Your grandpa must be happy to know you've returned to see him," Nicole said as she sat next to Jared.He smiled at her. "No one else knows, but I do. You haven't gotten much rest while you were taking care of Grandpa, have you?"With a mix

    Harvey looked over to Nicole with a sigh of exasperation. "Jared was a gentleman and a top executive at one point. When did he become so rude? I guess you're the one to blame for that, right?""I don't think I have that sort of power over him." Nicole smirked. "But if you ask me, I think he's the way he is because of you.""Because of me?" Harvey asked, before he began pondering on his role in all of this. "Well, alright, I think I know what you mean."Nicole burst into a fresh gale of laughter, and seeing this, Harvey stopped her. "Is it really that funny? Come on, keep it down. Mr. Johnston Sr. needs his rest."Realizing her gaffe, Nicole stopped herself and allowed her laughter to taper off.Outside the ward, a bodyguard had reported to Henry everything that had just transpired in the ward. When Henry, who was in a good mood, heard the news that Mr. Johnston Sr. could awake from his comatose, the smile on his face vanished. He hung up in disbelief, his eyes blank and his face e

    "I'll be sure to watch him closely."Jared was having lunch in a restaurant with Claus, to whom he said, "Before leaving the country, I asked you to investigate the accident that my grandpa was involved in. Have you managed to gather anything?""I found a video." Claus handed his phone to Jared."Wait, why is there only one video? Shouldn't there be a few other surveillance cameras on that stretch of road?" Jared said with his brows raised."All of the cameras along that street were damaged," Claus reported. "I have every reason to suspect that someone had sabotaged them in advance. The only one that was left untouched was the one which got us this footage, and it was located right outside a mall about a few hundred yards away. The truth of the matter is, we aren't able to identify the car by its brand or its license plate because of the distance and the angle."Jared watched as he listened to Claus. The instant he saw his grandfather's car being slammed into, his heart sank. He c

    Jared studied Chloe's demeanor and surmised that she did not seem to be lying, but he also knew that Nicole wasn't known for her veracity, and thus, he decided it would be better to investigate so as not to misunderstand Nicole."The steak here is wonderful." Jared rose up to his feet. "Enjoy your meal."Chloe looked on with a smirk as Jared left the premises. She knew that her words had taken hold in Jared's heart. "Harvey, you have me to thank for helping you."In the car, Jared began pondering if there was truth in her words. To avoid jumping to baseless conclusions, he decided it would be better to let Claus look into it. "Claus, I want you to look into what Chloe has just said.""Mr. Johnston, is it possible that Chloe is trying to sow discord among you and Miss Riddle?""Don't worry about her," Jared replied. "I wish to know everything that had happened in my absence.""Okay."Claus drove Jared back to the villa and began his investigation as the latter had ordered.The v

    "So that is the reason why you did what you did to Harvey yesterday, isn't it?""It seems to me that you've been dishing out a number of rhetorical questions. Are you having a guilty conscience?" Jared asked, staring into her eyes."No, I'm not. I just didn't expect you to do that to Harvey. He was a little shocked." Nicole looked at him."Did he say that to you?" Jared raised an eyebrow at her."Sort of.""He even told you what was on his mind." Jared looked at Nicole suspiciously. "Wasn't he afraid that you would tell me?""Maybe he hasn't even thought about it. Anyway, I heard what Henry said just now. Was the international project difficult?" Nicole digressed, not wanting to discuss about Harvey with him.Jared could sense that Nicole did not wish to talk about Harvey. "It was a piece of cake. If he didn't say that, he would have no reason to send me away."Nicole nodded, seeming to understand what Jared was saying. "If that is what you mean, then what was his intention of

    The dazzling Lamborghini sped down the highway, and it did not take long for it to arrive at the residence of the Riddles."Mom, Dad, I'm home!" Nicole walked in."Nicole, come on over," Samuel called out to her from the living room.Nicole followed his voice to the living room, where Samuel was watching a sci-fi show. "I thought you've got something interesting going on. Apparently, you guys are just watching a movie.""Come take a seat and watch it with us. It is one of the most popular movies as of late," Samuel said."Really?" Nicole went over and sat down with Samuel and Spencer. "Alright, I'm sold.""Nicole, how is Mr. Johnston Sr. doing?" Daniel approached Nicole and asked."There are signs of improvement.""That is good.""Nicole, I've been meaning to ask. How did Mr. Johnston Sr. get himself into that accident? Does his family know?" Daniel looked at Nicole curiously."Not yet. As far as I'm aware, the case is still under investigation," Nicole said.She did not tel

    "Jared stayed back because someone had to look after Mr. Johnston Sr.""Indeed," Daniel replied. "He just returned to the country. He should definitely be spending more time with his grandfather.""Dad, why haven't I seen Norah even after I've been back for so long?" Nicole said, thinking that Norah had moved away after she had exposed her."Norah?" Daniel said. "She is out on a trip with your classmates and has been gone for a few days."Without Norah at home, Daniel was much more relaxed.Nicole looked at Daniel with a frown. "So, she didn't move out?""Nope.""Wait, haven't her parents been discharged?" Nicole said, perplexed at Norah's ungrateful behavior. Did she not go home to look after them? Why is she still allowed to freeload in our house?""Who told you that Norah's parents were discharged from the hospital? How am I not aware of that?" Daniel looked at Nicole with surprise, as Gloria had visited them at the hospital yesterday."So, they have not been discharged?" N

    "Thank you, Mom." Nicole said politely."What's with the formality? Are you still mad at me?" Gloria knew she had been unfair to Nicole by being protective of Norah at her expense."No.""Nicole, you can't blame me for defending Norah. I know she is pretty timid, even as a kid. She has always been cautious about everything and have always catered to the whims of others." Gloria explained."I understand your position."Nicole accompanied Gloria as she worked in the kitchen, and after a while, Nicole returned to the living room. "Are you guys done? Dinner's ready."At the table, Gloria looked at Nicole and asked, "Has Mr. Johnston Sr. woken up yet?""Nope, not yet," she replied, having to answer the same question once again."He hasn't? Well, that doesn't bode well for him." Gloria sighed and continued eating."Quit blabbering in front of the children. Mr. Johnston Sr. is showing signs of recovery," Daniel quickly added.Nicole went on to explain. "Mom, it's not as grim as you

    "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
