Chapter 1240

Author: Summer
Heading to the direction of the Sea View Villa, she proceeded to make her way back to visit Mrs. Wallace Sr. before leaving, as the latter would think that Nicole had gone missing if she did not.

As soon as Jared arrived at the office, an assistant walked over to meet him. "Mr. Johnston, the directors are waiting for you in the conference room."

Jared frowned and looked at the assistant, "What are they here for?"

"The reasons they're here seems to be related to the fire at the Beacon factory." The assistant said, having gotten information about the Beacon factory incident.

"Let's go take a look." Jared changed and made his way to the conference room.

Jared pushed the door open and walked in. The conference was silent for a moment. No one dared to speak.

Seeing this, Jared sat at the head of the table, looking at everyone, "What brings everyone here today?"

After a while, an elderly man looked at Jared and asked, "Mr. Johnston, did we invest in Martin's Beacon Company?"

    "These people must be bored out of their minds. They even came to the company," Jared murmured, feeling displeased."Mr. Johnston, do you want to find something for them to do?" Max asked from the side."Only those who did not make a ruckus.""Understood."Jared got up and walked toward the office. Just as he sat on the chair to rest for a while, he heard a knock on the door."Come in." He really could not get himself a break.Fiorella walked in with her heels clicking loudly against the floor. Jared glanced over and couldn't help sucking in a breath, 'How did she come here so quickly!'"Ms. Fisher, what brings you here?" Jared teased. Fiorella understood the meaning of his words. She asked, "What do you mean, Mr. Johnston? What brought me here again? Do you not welcome me?""No way. My door is not for Ms. Fisher to causally enter whenever she wants," Jared said with sarcastic remarks, but Fiorella did not care about it. As long as she could see Jared, she would be happy."Mr.

    "What? You put Castor in charge of it?" Jared looked at Fiorella in disbelief."Ms. Fisher, Castor has no practical experience. What if something goes wrong without your supervision?" Jared reminded her worriedly."Relax, don't worry. My assistant is there to assist him. Nothing bad will happen. Even if something happens, my assistant will call.' Fiorella looked very calm."Mr. Johnston, do you have coffee?"'She wants me to brew coffee for her.'Argh!'Jared really wanted nothing to do with her. 'Why did Henry have to sign a contract with her back then?' He picked up his phone and said, "Make a cup of coffee for Ms. Fisher'"Ms. Fisher, I'm quite busy today. You're wasting time waiting for me here. Why don't I arrange some entertainment for you?" Jared just wanted her to leave his office as soon as possible, even if it costed him a little money."Without you, there is no entertainment at all." No matter what Jared said, Fiorella was determined not to leave."Alright." Jared h

    "Ms. Fiorella, there's something I need you to go through personally. Can you come over now?""What's the matter? Is my assistant around?' asked Fiorella."There were some other matters to deal with, so he left for a while. If you're not coming, we most probably have to delay the progress." Castor explained.Fiorella replied with slight annoyance, "All of you are a useless bunch. Give me some time, I'm going over now."As soon as she hung up, Fiorella walked to Jared's desk and looked at him, "Mr. Jared, I'll have to attend to some matters about the project for a while. I'll come over later.""Go on. I won't be sending you off then." Once Jared heard that she was leaving, he was inexplicably delighted."Are you that eager for me to leave?" Fiorella bent forward and stared at Jared.Jared immediately leaned back, "It's just that your work there is much more important. You're overthinking it.""Okay, I'm leaving now." Then, Fiorella walked out.Watching Fiorella leave, Jared fel

    Nicole's words hit Jared hard like a slap that he had nothing to refute."That is her personal matter. I have nothing to say." Jared was still stubborn.Nicole could see through him. 'He doesn't want to tell me the truth? That's fine. I'm not that interested in it anyways!'"You should pay more attention to Martin's matters. He needs your help." Nicole looked at Jared solemnly. Then, she stood up and walked out."Nicole, where are you going?" Jared immediately asked her.Nicole did not reply to his question and walked straight out of the office.From the window, Jared watched Nicole drive off in that Lamborghini. He quickly picked up his phone and called her. But even after a few calls, no one picked up the phone. Jared knew that Nicole was angry at him, so she would not take her calls. He stopped bothering her and thought of explaining everything to her clearly when he met her at night.Then, he returned to his desk and continued working.Time flew by quickly alongside Jared's

    "Read it wrongly? Did I read it wrong?" Tia lowered her head and tried to recall."That's not right. I remember Nicole was happy when she came back." Tia took some time to think and replied to Jared confidently.Jared was confused by Tia's response. 'No matter what, Nicole would not return happily. Unless...she lifted her finger on Fiorella? This seems like the only possibility.'At that thought, Jared could not help but sigh. 'I guess things have gone too far this time around. I should've just explained everything clearly to her earlier at the office.' Then, he decided to head upstairs and clear things up with Nicole.Jared stood up and was about to walk to the stairs. Tia assumed he was about to leave, so she said, "Mr. Johnston, you've just arrived, and you're leaving already?""No, I'm going upstairs to see Nicole." After Jared had finished speaking, he wanted to head upstairs."Upstairs? Mr. Johnston, don't you know that Nicole had already left?" Tia replied while looking at

    In the meeting room, Martin and Claus were checking the recording taken during the investigation.Jared's footsteps were approaching the meeting room. Then, Claus was the first to notice Jared's shadow. So, he politely walked over and opened the door, "Mr. Jared.""Yeah."Hearing some noise, Martin looked at the door and found that Jared had arrived. Martin stood up and looked at Jared, "Mr. Jared, you're here.""Did you manage to find any leads?" Jared walked to Martin's side."Currently, we've filtered out two possible suspects. We're still going through the rest." Martin gave his seat to Jared and explained their progress."The two which you filtered out are new employees who had just joined?" Jared looked at the video and questioned."One of them is a new employee; the other is a senior." Martin looked at Jared."There's only one new employee that is suspicious?" asked Jared."Yes. Everyone else seems normal.""Claus, go and interrogate these two people," ordered Jared as

    "We're not in a rush. Let's finish watching all of it." Jared was calm and asked Martin to continue playing all the unwatched recordings."We've finished all of it?" asked Jared."Yes, there's none left.""Other than that person's sneaky behavior, the rest only looked nervous. You can go and interrogate that person now." Jared showed his approval to Martin."Okay, I'll work on it now," Martin replied as he stood up."Try and control your emotions," reminded Jared."Noted." Martin looked at Jared and walked out.At that moment, Claus walked into the room too. Jared looked at Claus, "You should join Martin in the interrogation. If his questions aren't effective, be there to remind him about it. Also, broadcast it live for me to watch.""Noted." After Claus had left, Jared leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes for a while to rest.After a while, Claus sent a video, and Jared picked up his phone to watch. Throughout the whole interrogation process, Jared observed that man.

    Jared flipped through his phone and looked for Nicole's contact on his messenger. When he tapped into her profile, he noticed that she had blocked him. He could not see her status.Jared was unnerved immediately. He counted the time quickly and thought, 'She must have landed already.'He tried to video call Nicole. But after ringing for some time and no one picked up the call, it automatically hung up.Jared was starting to feel unhappy. So, he dialed Nicole's number once more. After waiting for a short while, Nicole finally answered the phone."What's the matter?" Nicole asked coldly.Jared could sense from her tone that Nicole was still angry. Facing that, Jared was at a loss for words instantly, so he kept quiet for a moment.Once Nicole noticed that he was not replying, she got angrier and said in an unhappy tone, " I'm hanging up if you're not going to say anything.""Wait." Jared stopped Nicole as soon as he heard that she was about to hang up. How could he be willing to l

    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.

    "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.

    "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.

    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
