Chapter 1372

Author: Summer
Nicole grumbled under her breath while unbuttoning Jared's shirt.

Then, a red mark on Jared's cheek caught her attention. She looked at it closely and realized it came from a woman's lips. 'Didn't he go to a banquet? Why is there a lipstick stain on his face?!'

A lot of questions ran through Nicole's head. She furrowed her brows and looked at Jared, who was sound asleep.

"Good one, Jared Johnston! Looks like you had a lot of fun earlier and even got yourself drunk. Why did you bother coming back home?" Nicole looked at him as she questioned him.

However, Jared only responded with snores. Nicole left his side angrily. Then, she switched off the television and went upstairs.

She lay in her bed and thought about what had happened. The longer she lay there, the angrier she got. She felt like Jared had been pretending to be a man of principles.

The next morning, Jared woke up because of how thirsty he was. He looked around and did not see Fiorella anywhere. Relief flooded through him.

    Nicole lifted her head to look at Jared after hearing his question. Then, coldly, she asked him another question, "Have you forgotten about everything last night?""I remember some of it, but I have no idea how I got back," Jared replied with a hint of guilt in his voice."Max sent you home," Nicole told him.Jared ran through his memories and vaguely remembered this happening. 'Seems like she noticed the lipstick stain on my face, and that's probably why I was left in the living room to sleep.' Even though Jared was not happy about what she did, he figured Nicole should be feeling worse."About what happened last night, I can explain." Jared peered at Nicole with a sincere look on his face."It's fine. I've got to go to work now. You should make something to eat for breakfast." Then, Nicole stood up and left the table."Nicole..." Despite Jared calling her name, Nicole did not stop walking as she went straight out the door.Anger flooded Jared's veins as he stared at Nicole's c

    Nicole did not appreciate Zeke's negativity. [Can't you be more optimistic? You'll be fine. Just get it done yourself.][Thanks!] Then, Zeke went offline.Nicole sighed after looking at Zeke's status. "He could've been enjoying his life if he didn't have such a dangerous job. There are plenty of other things to do if he were just after the thrill...""Ms. Riddle, the engineer wants to talk to you about something," said Kelly after entering the office."Sure. I'll be right with him." Nicole shut down her computer and left her office.In the afternoon, Harvey came over for Nicole. "Is Nicole here?" he asked the receptionist."Ms. Riddle is inside.""Okay."He walked into Nicole's office but could not see her anywhere. "She's not here."Harvey went to another room to look for her. He pushed the door open and saw Nicole saying something about the chip with the engineer."Mr. Ellison." Kelly greeted him as soon as she saw him enter."Hey."Nicole then turned around and looked at

    "Well, I guess they're considered even now." Harvey looked at Nicole as if he had a lot going on in his head."Yeah."Nicole gazed at Harvey. What Harvey said was only part of the reason, and he probably still did not know about the envy between them. She figured it would be better to keep him in the dark to reduce the risk of him making a mistake."You should leave now. I need to be somewhere." Nicole looked at Harvey and then stood up, leaving her office.Just then, the receptionist entered the room with a cup of coffee. "Mr. Ellison, here's your coffee.""It's fine." Then, he followed Nicole out of the room."Where are you going? I'll come with you," Harvey said."Harvey Ellison, are you so free because you made my brother do everything for you?" Nicole questioned him.With a confident look, Harvey replied, "I didn't. I've finished all my work already. You can call Sean and ask him if you don't believe me,"Nicole rolled her eyes at him before entering the elevator. Harvey

    Nicole sighed, "Why don't you just tell me if you like this coffee too? Even though finding them is difficult, I have ways to get them for you."You're such an interesting person..." Nicole looked at Martin helplessly while trying to hold back laughter."I had no idea." Martin put on an innocent look. He did not know Nicole could get them so easily. He thought that it was difficult for her to bring them back from overseas.Nicole put down the cup of coffee and asked, "How's the factory doing recently?""Not bad. Production is going well, and orders just keep coming in. I can't find any time to slack around." Martin enjoyed being busy very much. It made him feel content-- his lifestyle concept was the opposite of what Harvey proposed.Nicole looked at Martin and felt like he had become his old self again. The obstacles in life were not affecting him very much, or perhaps he was just a tough person.She put on a serious look after the small talk and asked him, "Has Joyce contacted

    Thank you for telling me everything." Nicole looked at Martin and thanked him. After all, he made her trip worth it.It made her job a lot easier after knowing the truth. She had finally found Joyce's weak spot."You don't have to thank me. Instead, I should be the one thanking you." A smile appeared on Martin's face as he looked at Nicole."What for?" She gazed at him, confused."I know the factory is back on track because of the good words you put in for me in front of Mr. Johnston. I'm also aware that you're why I can get so many orders. I won't forget what you've done for me." Martin looked at Nicole gratefully. He knew that Beacon would not achieve so many things if it were not for her."I thought you didn't know. I just wanted to do something to help you because I saw how much effort you put into this whenever I came here. Coincidentally, I had a few friends looking for new medical equipment, so I recommended your product. They were very eager to get their hands on Beacon wh

    Only special customers could get an opportunity to get a taste of this rare softshell king crab. Nicole was a regular and their VIP, so the manager recommended it to them. He would not do the same to normal customers because of how rare the type of crab was."Martin, would you like to try it?" Nicole looked at Martin and asked."Sure," he replied gracefully."We'll take it." Nicole looked at the manager and spoke."Okay, I'm on it." Then, the manager trotted to the kitchen.A waiter brought Nicole to her special spot. Martin looked around and sat down."This table is definitely the best spot to be at in this restaurant." He praised."Of course. I sit here every time for a reason." Nicole said proudly. She felt particularly relaxed today when she sat there with Martin."Yeah. Ms. Nicole, you've always been a person of excellent taste." Martin complimented her again."I didn't see you eating any chocolates before we came here. What's with the sweet tongue?" Nicole looked at Mart

    "You drove here. How could you drink?" Martin calmed down and asked Nicole."I'll just ask somebody else to send me back. Come on, let's drink." She signaled him to raise his glass."Okay." Martin heard what she said and clinked his glass with hers."Martin, you didn't want to sell Beacon to foreign countries for some reason. Have you changed your mind on that?" Nicole brought it up as she looked at him."Actually, I hope the Beacon can benefit everyone in the world. However, I'm also worried that people with bad intentions would use it to facilitate their evil deeds if they ever got their hands on it. I don't want that to happen." He explained to her with a serious look on his face."Yeah, that could happen. But a lot of those places don't have good living conditions. The people there need a good product like the Beacon to help them and give them a chance at life again." Nicole witnessed too many injured people die because they could not receive proper treatment on time. She hope

    "You'll know when you get there." Nicole kept him in suspense.Harvey suddenly appeared in front of them when they were still chatting.He glanced at Nicole before he asked Martin, "What's up with her? Why did she drink so much?""We had a really good talk, and she got too caught up in the moment. You can see how much she drank from the bottle." Martin looked at Harvey and explained to him.However, Harvey looked at Nicole helplessly and said to Martin, "Come on, I'll send you guys back." He carried Nicole in his arms directly after saying that and walked toward his car, which was parked outside.Harvey put Nicole in the backseat and got into the car with Martin. Then, he drove away from the Blue Whale Restaurant."Martin, where do you live?" Harvey looked at Martin and asked."Just send me back to the factory," Martin replied."It's already so late. Why do you still want to go back?" Harvey looked at him confusedly."The factory just restarted its production not long ago, and

    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. 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
